Just flash to Juwe's rom.

I flash with 100% battery but after the flash it shows only 97%. Charging also stops at 97% unlike Froyo which shows 100% but drops to 96-97% when unplug.

Is this normal for GB?

No Chinese keyboard for Juwe's GB? Where can I get pinyin chinese keyboard?

Notice that Astro Filie Manager doesn't work with GB Juwe. Anyone facing the same problem?

I flash to Juwe's Smart Edition v4.3.1 based on XWJVH yesterday from Darky Extreme V9.5 froyo. After using it for 1 day, here are the few things I discover....

+
It feel faster and smoother than Darky V9.5

-
1. Its till did not fix my GPS loack issue. I can't get a lock at all with Papago.
2. no more chinese support
3. poor battery life. I am working offshore right now and there is no phone signal here so I have been putting my phone on Airplane mode the past 2 days when I am still on froyo. While on stand by for almost 2 days, the froyo hardly use up any power (only 3% for 2 days). But I was on Juwe GB, I went to bed last night at 10.30pm with 45% bat left and work up at 7.00am with only 32% left. Check my battery usage and cell standby use 78% of the bat!!!


4. I am using Extended widget where I set my shortcuts for 3G/2G, Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS etc as shown by the picture below...

Previously on Darky V9.5, I can directly toggle on/off for wifi, GPS, Data except for 2G/3G where it will bring out the Mobile network setting page. But in GB, when I press the Data widget, it won't toggle data on/off anymore but instead it bring out Mobile Network Setting page like shwon below...


This is the same for GPS. Previously the GPS widget would just toggle GPS on/off but now in GB it cannot do that anymore but instead it open up this page...

5. Phone crash once last night....

Now I am very disappoint after going thru all the troubles to update but only to get things worst off.

I think I pretty much understand the SGS phone running Android now. And I can summarize it in one sentence....

"It let you do a lot More, but you actually achieve Less"

How to flash to stock GB DXJV9?

I notice that those custom rom is in .zip format while stock rom comes with 3 files in md5 format as shown below...

PDA_XWJVH.tar.md5
CSC_NEE_JV3.tar.md5
PHONE_XXJVO.tar.md5

Can I use ODIN for stock rom?

Thanks...really very informative.

Not sure I want to stay on GB. See absolutely no advantage over Froyo. I thought it might fix my GPS but it did not. Battery on GB use up a lot even on standby Airplane mode.

Anyone can recommend a good custom rom base on froyo? Is stock froyo with speed fix ok?

Mine is AP set so I am afraid I cannot sent it back to Samsung.

Really disappointed with Samsung for making and selling broken phones. This problem have existed since the launch of the SGS yet my phone which was bought 9 months later is still ship with GPS problems. WTF!

In my opinion, Samsung is an irresponsible company that just launch its products without much QC and testing....sell them first, then relaunch a new models to replace it a few months later. Just look a SGS II which is luanch only recently yet SGS 3 is already coming soon.

But, I have learn my lesson so no more samsung !

Antenna gate problem happens in low signal area and is easily solve with a case which almost everyone use one anyway.

Apple only release one phone a year and so far their strategy works well. With just 1 phone in the market, they manage to capture the largest market share beating out all the rest of the manufacturers that have dozens of models line up at any one time.

There is a reason for everything and apple did not achieve all that success due to luck or product hype. Most Andriod fans hate the iphone because of certain limitations apple put on the iphone, but the truth is that iphone is still the most simple phone to operate and has the best collections of apps in any phone, and that is just what most users need.

Enough about this iphone comparison. For me I just want my SGS work work well for me and I am still searching for that firmware.

If you were to ask me, i say don't buy this phone. Or may be I sell you my SGS which is only 1 month old

The AP set is cheap but you get what you pay for. Its got lots of problem like my set GPS is not working. Original firmware is very slow and laggy. Custom firmwares are faster but got many bugs too like OS bug that use up the battery even when you not using the phone, crash, hang etc.

Hope that helps

Would you like to take your chance with your hard earn cash? Is not like there are no other phones to buy.

Most reviews are made when the phone is new without many apps installed. But when you buy a phone, you would want to install softwares and games and then it start to become slow and crash etc. Most reviews also don't use the phone for long to really discover the problem and bugs.

Why is my Cell Standby battery consumption so high?

Do you use any lagfix?

Just flash to DXJV9. Why asia version no chinese support? Only Samsung keyboard and no Gingerbread keyboard. Haiz

I came from Darky Extreme V9.5 and everything was there. Now it has to be install from third party. Hmmmm

I bought my SGS AP set last month. I was running Darky Extreme V9.5 and I can get the GPS to lock sometimes and it as to be outside in the open. Sometimes it just won't lock at all.

I try Juwe's GB and stock GB DXJV9 last 2 days and try Papago and the GPS desn't lock at all even in wide open space outdoors.

I was on Airplane mode so its not running 2g/3g, no wifi etc.

I flash to Darky V10.1 and last night before I go to bed it was 18% left on Airplane mode. This morning I wake up the phone is off with no bat left. That is disappointing.

On Darky V9.5, i left my phone on Airplane mode for 2 days and it only consume 3% of the battery. I guess froya is still better.

I have try it on on Darkys_v10.1_Extreme_Edition. So far so good.

That is where I download my GT_I9000_DXJV9_DXJV9_OLBJV9_Sbl. but I also got 3 files only. What kind of file is bootloader and how do we know if we flash it or not? I don't remember checking the "phone bootloader update" button so not sure if I have update my phone bootloader.
