Samsung Galaxy S Family Thread

[simforgotten]

Hi,

As I have posted earlier, I am new to android world, just got the Galaxy S I9000 a couple of weeks back. But I faced some weired problem today, while receiving a call, my mobile screen messed up totally, the screen was something like you see in TV when the signal messes up, I was able to hear and talk during the call but rest of the things git hanged totally. I tried to shut down and start again but I was unable to do so. Then, I removed the battery and connected again. Now, everything was ok. What type of problem is this? Is it something serious issue and I should contact customer care?

Also, the phone gets heated up within half an hour of playing Asphalt 5, BI2 etc and the heat is high. Right now also during this issue, I felt that the mobile has heated up. Can anyone help me out regarding this matter?

Note - I am using the stock SGS with no customizations. It came with Froyo.

Guys any reco for GB roms for vibrant? I have tried Simply Honey and Revolution Rom from X-da and unable to load Airtel network on both of them. Any ideas?

 

[aradhakr84]

How about CM7 nightly? I am on nightly #71 on my captivate running 2.3.5 coupled with glitch kernel V11 ML (Middle Leak) Current latest nightly version for vibrant seems to be nightly #69 released on 29/07. I do not know if that runs 2.3.4 or 2.3.5.

How to flash -

Thanks got Nightly build #68 on 2.3.5 -> I tried the google apps from cyanogen, inspite of getting it from their site. The gmail sync thing also doesn't work.

 

[aradhakr84]

@sharktale1212: The gmail sync works fine for me. I had trouble when I downloaded the gapps from cm7 forum in XDA. So I downloaded the gapps from external website. Did you also flash the gapps using clockwork mod recovery.

Also did you update the gmail version to 2.3.5 using market.

 

[sharktale1212]

Yeah got it to work finally. On my first run of the market, I got option for downloading the google apps.

Yesterday, tried the "Juwe's Smart Edition v5.2 JVQ" Rom. The rom's look is amazing, no force closes (had too many fcs on CM7 especially for Samurai Vengenace) and the asthetic feel and speed is amazing.
I might try GingerZen_RC1 today.

^ Try out new JVR base i.e GingerZen, butter smooth and battery also seems to be good.

 

[Waterworld]

@sharktale1212 & Darky

Please share your experience after trying gingerzen. Well I just tried installing it over Cm7 but it didnt work and stuck on kernel logo. It seems need to odin back to eclair and then flash it. Now I am back to CM7, if you find it good let us know will give it one more try.

 

[sumchamp]

^ As CM7/CM7.1 uses different filesystem, you need to ODIN back to stock.
