They're working on the Vibrant, not i9000. teamdouche doesn't even have the i9000. And looking at how the release for the Vibrant has been delayed by a month and half.. its kinda irritating..

Hey guys.. Just purchased Samsung Galaxy S I9000.. It is running on Android 2.1 version. I installed Kies and tried to upgrade firmware to 2.2 Froyo but Kies showed me that I'm using the latest firmware.. :S How can I upgrade to Android 2.2 Froyo? And how can I do lagfix? Any easy tutorial for Rooting my Galaxy S?

If KIES doesn't show froyo as being available, then its not available yet. It's just started getting rolled out across the world. Will take a bit of time.
For lagfix and root, you should try Google

Congrats for your Purchase man :) @Rahulrulez and Froyo would be available real soon maybe in a week or so , cause European I9000 have just got the Froyo release. You can check out this thread itself to get some ABC on lagfixing the phone.

^^ or u cud just make some changes to ur registry to trick Kies into thinking that ur phone belongs to a different product code/area (where froyo is officially released). I did the same to install froyo.

Just check xda developers forum - Galaxy S I9000 Android Development section for details.

^ Ok, check it using Terminal Emulator... typed su and it asked for Superuser request.. That means, the phone is rooted successfully..
Now one thing, what can I do after rooting the phone? Anything essential that can be done after rooting the phone to increase speed?

^ Yeah, it is in my phone's app list..

Btw I've one query.. I'm using Airtel as my service provider.. My phone always connect and disconnect the data connection (i.e. Airtel Office) and it deducts Rs. 0.30 each time.. Any way to fix it?

Guys, please confirm something for me:

When I have a pair of earphones plugged in (normal ones, not the headset) and someone calls me, the sound doesn't come through the earphones, rather the speaker and that too very low volume. The phone mic works though and the other person can hear me but I cant hear him through the earphones.

Is this standard behavior, if it is , what was samsung thinking ??
