Hi,
Would like to post all the firmwares/baseband version that are available for the Galaxy S and the problems people have with it
I bought mine from the UK one of the first batch 8gb model
its baseband version is I9000XXJF3
Having some problems with GPS , take quite awhile to lock into the sattelites about 3-5 mins from startup.
Lagging in GPS turn by turn...I am using co-pilot live.
Korean Galaxy S
M110S.DG07.1842.ST (2nd firmware update)
I have slight GPS problems, but not those that are reported by those on here and I think they use a worse GPS chip in Korea do to regulations regarding GPS tracking but I haven't seen any conclusive GPS information on my phone.
I have a slight issue with the FLAC support, either information missing from the tags (I need to actually re-upload the FLAC songs now that there is new firmware, haven't tested since original.)
I can't use Swipe (wah-wah), but it didn't come stock, so I think it's because I couldn't get a legit copy and the international version probably called on code out of the I9000 my phone doesn't have.
Besides that...great success...
Edit: I bought mine from SK first batch of 16GB, hardware differences that I know/suspect: DMB, Cell Radio & GPS chip
Indian Galaxy S
Stock F/W: i9000DDJF3
Updated to JG1...
GPS was fine... never used it much. But I would say a little on the slower side.
Playback was excellent.
-> Though support for subs would have been cool.
-> FLAC playback is amazing. Like the above user, my player too has issues with detecting tags and artist info.
Camera is good during daylight but sucks at night. No flash man!
TwLauncher is cool and all, but lags after quitting an app or a game. Takes time to settle down I guess.
All in all I am happy I updated to JG1 and rooted with MCR!

Hi guys, I'm having this extremely annoying issue with my S4.
EVERY SINGLE TIME I open "Gallery" on my phone with my TV on, it turns the TV off immediately. Now, this happens:
- whether I'm sitting 2 feet accross the table or if I'm pretty far away in a different room
- whether or not I unlink WatchOn from my TV set
- whether I use my S4 or another S4 (my wife's for example), which seems to mean that it's not related to my specific handset.
I looked everywhere online and can't seem to find anyone having the exact same issue, let alone a solution.
Yes, the IR Remote feature on the S4 is great per se, but this is a major problem. If my kids are watching a cartoon in the living room and I'm in my bedroom trying to check recent pics I took using my phone, it turns the TV on instantly.
I have a S4 i9500 (international version, still running on original firmware I9500XXUAMDK) and my TV set is a 42 inch Samsung plasma.
PLEASE HELP !!!!!!!!!

Updated to latest firmware. Thx.
I started a thread before, but found out it could be a software problem as a lot of demo units' compasses don't work all the time.
S4 has this problem too.
I have the N900W8 device, if that makes a difference.
Fill the poll out above to answer ^, or just comment down below.
Same problem here

Hi, nicholaschum.
I've the same problem. Mi phone is a N9005 (europe free note 3).
I agree that is a software problem, as if you calibrate the compass sensor (*#0*#) it runs without problem until I restart the phone.
I've also tested several demo units at a samsung store and all of them (galaxy s4, note 3, s4 mini) presented the same problem.
The technical service guy told me that they can change the motherboard of the phone, but I doubt that itgonna fix the problem.
There is a lot of threads, here on XDA, but also in other forums reportinf the same problem on several samsung devices...but unfortunately without solutions.
I'm very pessimistic about this problem, due to that we're more concerned about getting new versions of android instead of get this kind of issues fixed.
Sorry for my english!
Mine's accurate in Smart Tools. DBT N9005 4.4.2 NB7
The calibration does seem to get lost upon a reboot, but you do not have to go into the service menu to recalibrate it.
When you are in google maps, simply rotate your wrist (not your arm). Rotate your wrist around and around about 3-4 times (no need for anything more than this so only takes 5 seconds). And then I find everything works just fine.
You shouldn't have to do that after every reboot, but its not too bad if you realise you don't need to go into the service menu and the right movement to recalibrate it quickly.
First i want to apologize my bad english. I´ll try my best. You guy´s from xda are known worldwide and you are my last hope.
I switched from the S3 to Note 3. It was delivered yesterday.
I read here and there about the Problem some People do have with there YouTube app (Stuttering).
I`m using a fast wi-fi Connection (100mbit) and i have the old s3 and the new note 3 in front of me. on the S3 every single movie runs perfect!
On my Note 3 not a single online Videos runs smooth.
Youtube app: constant stutter every 5 seconds.
Browser embeded Videos (4player.de for example) 15-20fps.
"Game one app" from playstore (gaming Magazin) 5-10fps !!!! unwatchable.
I have so many questions and no answer.
Is it a hardwarefailure (because there are many Note 3 user without that Problem)?
Is it a Firmware bug (4.3)? Why doesn´t anyone have the same Problem.
Is it an application bug (maybe not compatible with 4.3) ? But why do browser movies run bad too (no app).
What did i try so far?
I turned off smartpause. I did a factory reset and i switched hardware videoaccelaration under developer Options on. I used Odin to Flash a unbranded original Samsung Firmware (no root). Nothing changed.
So my hope is that you guys from xda could use your international "credits" to ask samsung for an official answer.
It can´t be that the most expensive Samsung Smartphone has these massiv Problems!
I have the Feeling it´s only a Problem of the black Note 3. By the way...my black note 3 (Telekom Branding) has this Homebutton Problem too.
Maybe other users with the same problem could write down if there Phone is black or white, moveable homebutton and which branding.
Thanks for your help!!
Greetings Rik
it might be hardware failure, best thing to do is going to where you first bought your phone and ask for replacement.
Hi I have the Chinese SM-N9006 with Base Band Version N9006ZCUBMI3 Build Number JSS15J.N9006ZCUBMI5
I have the Google Play and Google music working perfectly fine. My Apps work without any issues.
I find sometime phone is a very sensitive to touch, though I have the touch feature disabled. I have only had this phone for 2 weeks.
and also I cannot get it to link to he Samsung KIES as there is device driver.
I have the phone connected to a Canadian carrier with no issues, but keep getting Chinese updates to the phone. Is there a way to stop this? And also is there a way to get the local carriers updates?
I feel like my Camera is not as good as it should be for 13 MP Camera, its dark and even with the light or flash, it seems very sluggish. I am looking for any advise from any one as if they experience the same and what they have done to improve the Camera and the sensitivity of the phone as well any other issues that you may have that fixed your phone.
Thanks

Some of the fakes report firmware N9006ZCUBMI3, so you really need to read this:

Bought my note 3 in December and was generally very impressed, well, until I started to record video. One of the main reasons I bought the 3, was I was ahppy owner of the original note, and have always liked Samsung phones, and had read it was a great flagship phone.
I hve notice these horizontal bars that flicker across recordings, its very frustrating, as I use the camera and video a lot. Its more evident in video, but does sometime show up on stills.

I originally thought maybe a software update would fix it, but ive now gone from 4.3, to 4.4 and now 4.4.2.. and the problem still happens.
Not impressed! Samsung have asked me to send phone in to be fixed, but Ive asked them to review the vids and assure me it can be fixed, before I send the phone in!
Wifi is the main cause of this problem turning it off solves the problem, and turn off auto network switch aswell in advance wifi settings.
It a software problem as it doesn't do it with other camera apps only Samsung own.
