So far so good... smooth...

barely after 1 week my galaxy s advance upgraded to JB, to be frank I have no issue at all, no hang, lag, slow or what so ever "JB symptoms".

love the new interface, I feel live smoother than before.

how you update?

connect your phone to PC with Samsung Kies software installed.

need to back-up?
contact list will disappeared? photos?

I don't do any backup, so far ok.. data still there.
Just backup if you are worry.

Just upgraded my dad's s advance to stock jelly bean last night using odin.already rooted but not sure to flash also harshjelly rom.anybody using it?im afraid it is not stable for daily usage.

There are plenty of roms in XDA Developers. u can try it all. Prefer Original Development Android ROM. U can use SAMI OS. JellyMod n etc for JB Version. Also u can try Jetmod if u wan to stay with GB.

Or u can simply tweaks by ur self.
Example for my self.
S Advance I9070
Jelly Bean 4.1.2 I9070DXAMD1 (Malaysia JB) - By SamMobile
Rooted
Cocore 8.2 Kernel
Debloated
Deodexed + Zipalign
Operation Killjoy - Binaries Modification

So far so good.
Perfomance + Battery Life.
Better than before.

hai all.. i need help from u guys.. can any of you upload firmware JB to google drive.. i have try to download from terafile..but its error.. hope anyone of u can upload it.. thanks..

You can download from here:
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9070

My ori gingerbread s advance auto shutdowns when browsing fb or mid of call
When turned on, battery still hv 70%
If plug in ac adaptor, no auto shut down

What do u guys suspect?

my hp screen became pinkish color then lcd not working anymore
i didnt drop it either, idk why.

i ask some shop to repair LCD the cheapest cost is RM380 other RM450.

Perhaps you exposed your phone screen to some magnetic thingy. Go for repair if you STILL love S Advance. If not get a new phone.

Better to buy a new phone instead of repair. New set of s advance today can got around RM 6xx- RM7XX.

Hi, noob here.
Anyway, i know this isn't xda, but how many of you guys use custom rom for s advance? Stock sucks, really.

no, original SAMSUNG battery costs u around RM100. Don't trust those "samsung" battery at normal shop with price of 50.

Sorry to Necro this thread and your post.

But I'm trying to upgrade from GB to JB for my bro but the baseband is DXLK2 and I googled and every one of the result said it is impossible for this baseband.

help.

You mean you want to upgrade your brother's S Advance from GB to JB ?

OK, here is the tutorial :

( Ignore the XXLQB and XXLG4, replace it with the latest official ROM )

ROM can download from this website : http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9070
The latest ROM is UBLPK ( ARO = Argentina region ).
Usually, the newer the the build date, the better the experience.

If you don't want foreign country ROM, you always can download Malaysia punya ROM from that given website.


NOTE : I advise you to stay on GB because JB for S Advance is not stable. S Advance users had complaint a lot about JB being sluggish, freeze, hanging. I do experience my S Advance got hanged a lot myself. But the new Argentina ROM might have fix all those problems.

WARNING : DO AT YOUR OWN RISK. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEED. I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE ON YOUR BRO'S S ADVANCE.

Sorry, that's all I can help. My S Advance had been stolen last year.

Finally Kies decide to detect it and upgraded it....haha..

thanks anyway bro.. really appreciate your input

How's the performance after upgrade to JB ? Last time I did, the result is

my bro said better... so i guess slightly faster
