Alhamdulilah another good news for you guys

Froyo to some extend fix the gps problem. Lock my position in 1-2 minute with any network assist, twice i tried. so consider fix.
But.... the funny part is, the direction is now emm.. opposite the way we are going. You have to use the phone in landscape mode to get direction right.
Funny...

OMG, is true, apps that have moved to sd is missing.!!

Hmmm... just want to give you some advice on my experiance. Luncher are dangerous apps to use, weather it is lunch pro. Adw.lunch.
Luncher will mess up with your system, or gife you way too much configuration. One time I have to reFlash my phone because launcher, and another time I almost have to reFlash it again. So in my experiance. Lucnher are bad and dangerous apps to have even thought it make your phone look very preety.

Just giving some of my thought, if you still want to use luncher, than i snuggest you backup your phone regularly

Me, my phone locked afert 2-3 minute, i consider the gps problem fix. But the funny thing is. the direction it pointing is oppsite the way we are going if you held the phone in potrait mode. But corrected in landscape mode. Can you check on this, maybe is just my software glitch

use other apps available at adroid market

Try it for a few days, see does foroyo has fix the deep sleep bug

hahahaha i just have to laugh on this

if it come to that, than you have to flash it.
LIKE I SAY USING LAUNCHER ARE DANGEROUS, BACK UP ALLWAYSS

Well come to froyo familly. Do see the direction error and verify it. Is kinda the funniest error i ever fine.

Insya'Allah Ok guys, I received some PM regathering how to flash G5 to froyo. Instead of keep replying to all of the PM, I just thought it will be better if I posted here. So many people could read and try it. Thought I dont think is just about upgrading to froyo, but also to those having problem with G5 that can only resolve by DIY flashing. That can save you guys from being cheated to pay for flashing phone at shop like I had experianced.

Before starting to flash, I've to address some issue.

1) BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP , backup your contact, msg, file, anything thats is important. Can't stress out how important this is
2) I'm not an expert, I'm just a layman like you, so if some complicated things happen, I could not help you
3) This step by step guide is specific to I5500LUYJP2 firmware. Other firmware required a little twitch hear and there when using odin.
4) IS VERY HARD TO BRICK your phone, is very uncommon. But the possibility is there.

So here the step by step guide

Bismillah
1) Go to this webiste to download Odin v4.28 and Ops file, and this website to download I5500LUYJP2
2. Extract Odin v4.28 and Ops File.zip and I5500LUYJP2.rar, the password in the previous website
3. Open Odin v4.28,
-Select OPS tab: EUROPA_I5508_v1.0.ops
-Thick One Package, Auto Reboot and Protect OPS at the Option section
-Select I5500LAROJP2.tar from where you have extracted the I5500LUYJP2
4. Turn off phone, remove battery for 5second, put it back
5. Hold "Volume Down, Center button & Power button" in the same time to enter Download Mode. Your are in download more when you see the yellow triangle with "!" sign
in it and the word downloading on top of it.
5. Connect to PC with USB cable
6. When the data line and the phone connection is successful, com port shows yellow in Odin
7. Press Start on Odin
8. Waitin & Pray! and DONT PANIC. This section usually require 5-6 minutes. The phone will reboot it self and you just have to wait.
9. When odin said the flashing has PASS, you by now has FROYO!!. but wait is not done.
10. You have to do Hard reset after flashing by dialing *2767*3855#
11. And your done

WELCOME TO THE G5 froyo familly.

Owww the google voice search. Is a cool apps to have, but pretty much useless. My old firmware has voice search preinstall, and every time i use it, it never give the correct stuff that I'm saying. Even simple word like Three, it will give search result that so far off from what we want.

Hey the you tube apps also have been upgraded. Now can watch video in potrait mode and the discussion thread also appear. Buffering time also has been shortened.

Insya'Allah I check ok this, I'll try find out what happen

Hey guys, I can't get 3g connection, Already input celcom APN like the 1st phone. but nothing happen....
Thought I wanna use g5 to twitter as i got throught kl motor show.

Is available, just checked. But i didnt use the apn setting in the 1st post. Use another, more lengthy.

Hey froyo guys, just want to check if you guys punya "turn mobile network on/off" setting (the one when you long press the power off button) is working. Mine's working. but I usess different apn setting. I think read here somewhere that is not working

Not many model come with more than 512MB ROM.............you need to pay higher for this

x10 has no multi touch, and froyo almost impossible for them
xt720's RAM is pretty less, 256MB, no chance for froyo as well

the increase of ROM wont bring better performance to the phone, something like higher capacity of Hard Disk in PC.............higher capacity RAM will help a bit on giant apps

About the froyo release by UK, the UK Samsung said the froyo was released by the KIES is not ready...........so still unable update

I dont know the fact of this news, but can confirm nobody got the UK's froyo firmware now............the only froyo available now is our flashed one

[/quote]

So if I want to upgrade to android phone with 1000MHz with foryo capability, which phone i shoulde choose? I'm thinking just upgrading my self to nexus 2. But maybe the price of the phone is sky rocket

If UK is going a froyo firmware soon, than it is a very good news. European firmware tend to be more stable with lest bug.
Hope they will fix the invisible apps icon bug, that is really a fatal bug.

[quote=SeNnDoh-7,Dec 4 2010, 01:02 PM]
I forgot to write down the original firmware before upgrading..
What is the firmware originally installed in our i5503..

[/quote]

the firmware package is I5503DXJH1, i believe is already leaked and available for flashing

[quote=speedrider,Dec 4 2010, 02:03 PM]
If i flash my g5 with Froyo, can it be reverted back to the original firmware?

[/quote]

I think is paussible, but never tried to downgread my phone. Use the firmware above

I leave you guy with cute dog dancing to salsa.

Yep i agree, no rushing to uppdate to froyo, you guys arent missing anything.

The ability to switch 3g on/off depens on the firmware you using. for froyo I5500LUYJP2 can, long press the on/off button. But 2.1 really depens on the firmware, local one can.

Cant think any reason to use a handphone for 3 years. Now day people change phone like every 1-2 years

Handcent for me, got more customization

Hmmm... I can stand my bug and error, but what I cant stand is loss conection with my telco. Arghhhh
Will revert back to local firmware if no connection error keeping showing up.

Are doing a format factory or Hard reset? Hard reset is by dialing *2767*3855#

hoho that's an important step. I'll allways do that to prevent damage on them, just in case.

yeah... my advise to you, allways back up. allways
