Stock browser a disgrace in JP6

I don't what terrible things Samsung has done to it but it´s very nasty downgrade from 2.1.
Everything lags, scrolling isn't smooth.. back to JM9

Do a full wipe, and wipe cache in the recovery mode.

Completely agree. Browser lags -A LOT- while trying to scroll.
And there seems to be no button to disable flash from loading (flash seems to be what is slowing the browser down)
I did a factory reset + reformatted SD cards before installing JP6.

Browser is worse than Eclair indeed. Something must be done about this.

Back button is the same as before: simply use the standard back button on the phone.
To make Flash content load only after you click on it: go to settings, choose Enable plug-ins and select On demand.

Alright, thanks. That actually smoothened the scrolling experience a bit too, it's still worse than on 2.1 though.

Try this:
- close the browser
- open pocketnow.com
- after it loaded, scroll a bit
- now look in task manager
With plugins disabled the browser took only more than 130 mb for just one opened page.
Of course launcher, live wallpapers, etc were killed due insufficient ram.
Free available ram + browser = perfect combo. Gg google & samsung. Great relase :angry:

That...is absolutely ridiculous, I just tested on jpa, 124mb used for pocketnow.com followed by a fc and memory dump
This froyo is not release worthy...

It's strange pocketnow in JM9 only used 29 Mb. The problem must be flash related.

There is a memory leak in the leaked version of 2.2 for the Captivate which is what was causing the browser lag. I'm hoping this is not the case for your I9000's as this was supposed to be fixed before release and does not bode well for the release version of the captivate. However, it may be something to look into.

comfirmed, huge memory leak with the browser.
experience not smooth at all on JP6 with the stock browser (pocketnow.com)

How did you confirm it.. In my experience, most people who "confirm" memory leaks have "confirmed" it using VERY sketchy evidence. It reminds me of the time a bunch of people "confirmed" firefox was leaking, and showed "proof". Problem is, it was wrong (and every developer knew it). Unfortunately, the crowd these days seems to hear the word "memory leak"., and be instantly biased.
Firstly, people should set addons to load "on demand" (its in settings). Secondly, ensure you have wiped the caches and reset to factory settings (if you aren't using Kies to upgrade). Because it's certainly fine here.. After you have done both of these things, then return, and comment on how they went.
I find it impressive how effortless it is to set you guys off though on angry rants, without having all the facts.

Man.. I've already wiped right after update. Also I've tested with plugins off and on demand. with flash always on is worse.
Just try it.

Funny, sounds like you just went off on an angry rant and also didn't seem to have any facts showing that there isn't a memory leak.
If you read the stuff from the developers in the Captivate section, it is widely known that there is a browser leak with the new update. Granted, ours was a leaked version, but it's real none the less. I'm not saying that is definitely the problem here, but based on the facts of what we have with the captivate, it is certainly something to look at.
Yes, everyone has already tried setting addons to "on demand", even turned them off completely and wiped the caches and reset back to factory settings, all of that is old news. There is even a thread posted specifically trying to address this problem.

Even without any apps opened the browser is simply awful.
also it takes extra cpu too. Try listening to music while browsing.
... Very annoying

andrewluecke you must have a different sgs than the rest of us. No matter if we speak about gps, lags or browser problems, you always come here to say that the problem isnt so bad,people tends to exagerate or samsung is not doing things so wrong.
Sorry but are you working for samsung or u just have a Samsung Galaxy S 2.0? Because its really difficult to find someone that deffends so much samsung or question so much the complains of the users...

Slow Gallery in DK28?

I did some searches and didn't really come up with an answer on this one so forgive me if it has been asked and answered already.
After jumping to DK28 my gallery app loads extremely slowly. It literally drops 1 picture at a time in the folders on the screen. This combined with the very slow screen response is driving me nuts. Is there anything to fix this or should I just go back to DI18?
thanks for the help.

Yes it does. Froyo DK28 has been such a disappointment.
To add to this so do the:
App list
Web browsers
song list (which is ridiculous since I only reloaded three songs back to the card)
And i'm getting like 2 hours on the battery when all i'm doing is reading a kindle book
Stock DI18 to Stock DK28

I have not had this issue with DK28. The gallery loads up as fast as DI18.

I definately agree. The gallery app is hella slow with Dk28

I agree on the gallery, it is really slow. However, I am not seeing issues with any of the other things you listed.

same here. ver slow loading...

Glad to see I'm not the only one. I tried an app suggested on this forum called "Large Image Viewer". Its a decent app but you can't delete from it or move files or anything like that as in the Gallery. But it is fast and it does a decent job for viewing.
I am still thinking about going back to DI18.

How many pictures do you all have in your gallery, because the gallery is fast for me. I have about 300 total in a few different folders, with one folder having 207, and the rest spread out in 3 or 4 other folders.

Agreed...that's why i wish some devs would stick with 2.1 roms...2.2 only adds flash....but is slow as molasses.

I thought DK28 felt really slow too. The notification bar was noticeably slower, but so were SMS threads, app drawer, and gallery.
I ended up flashing back to DI18 stock for the GPS.... Mine was toast in DK28 and I really didn't feel like screwing around getting it to work. I'd rather sit it out and get the official Froyo update when it rolls

Everything was slower in DK28. The gallery was especially bad. I am back to DI18 as well.

I hope you folks realize that the DK28 was a leak and as such is not a finished 2.2 version. So you can't compare an unfinished 2.2 to a stock 2.1. For what the DK28 leak brought even in its unfinished state, i like it a lot, especially if you're running any of the customized DK28 (like Nebula ROM !!).
So if you don't like the performance of the leaked DK28, find a custom ROM and see the difference.

I am fairly certain we all understand that. Or at least I hope so. I was using Nebula ROM 1.0.5 and it was very good for being DK28, but I still had horrible gallery lag, lousy multi-tasking, and other minor issues (none of which I attributed to Nebula). Yeah, for a leaked version it isn't bad...there have been much worse. But for me the performance hits were more than enough to justify going back to DI18 and waiting for something better. I look at it as though I would rather my car have an old engine that does everything quite well rather than a new engine that does more, but doesn't do it as well.

I agree it is super slow, my co-workers were ragging on me about the speed and how slow it was.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

I went back to DI18 as well. DK28 didn't show any of the expected speed increase for 2.2. Keyboard response felt a bit better long as there wasn't a lot of programs in the background. Wifi kept flaking out with dropped connections and giving me errors when I tried to turn it on through the notification bar.
I hope they optimize it soon and release cause I miss the youtube application. That thing was sweet.

+1. The gallery is slow. It seems there are those that do not take into consideration that this is a leak. Issues will come about when you deal with something that isnt intended as a RC.
That said, I originally went back to 2.1 after some of the issues with 2.2 that I was experiencing were getting to me. However, I tried 2.2 again the other day, and after letting my phone "adjust" for a few days the gallery seems improved slightly. Not as great as 2.1, but better, for me at least.

I do agree with this.

I am trying a 2.2 rom with ext4 and my gallery is still very slow too. However it is worse than it seems. Quite often I would try to watch a standard defenition tv show, which should be no problem, and the phone chokes on it and cant do it. I downloaded an app called watchdog and everytime it happened it said the gallery was using significant processor in the background, even though i never even opened the gallery. I could confirm this by force closing the gallery and videos would play again. I have never heard anybody here say anything like this happens to them but it has happened to me for every custom 2.2 rom I have tried. It happens for video of all types and every video player. I can only hope that if an official 2.2 rom ever comes out I will be able to watch video on it.
Also while I was trying to monitor this to figure out what was happening I downloaded system panel and it show my cpu activity as always having something they refer to as Nice, (in addition to System and User activity) and when they videos won't play that Nice activity is always going high keeping the total cpu usage maxed out so that it sits at around 1000 MHz.
tl;dr My gallery is very slow as well and if you watch a lot of video on a froyo rom and it gives you no trouble please help me.

First Impressions: [ROM][2.3.2] I9000XWJV1 (GINGERBREAD) for Galaxy S

The other thread has made me increasingly mental trying to find some decent information on what is working and what isn't working for SGS users upgrading to 2.3.2. I upgraded on Sunday evening without any issues and have been using it for the past 48hrs and have come across the following:
bad:
- no sip configuration options
- when integrated with MS exchange server, the unread count for emails never changes even after you read the mail
- default internet browser is horrifically slow, even with no other apps running in the background
- no samsung apps available (probably because this isn't an official samsung release)
good:
- android market works fine for me in Switzerland
- GPS works well with all the different apps i have
- wifi is interesting. it works, but i don't get full signal strength notification even when next to the access point
- FM radio, the most used app i have continues to work nicely
Overall I have been pleasantly surprised with this version. It's nice, although it's not an official release and is still leagues better than 2.1.x and 2.2. Would get a good argument from me about how it compares with 2.2.1..

Well, for me, I am not downloading torrents on my phone. When I want to download, via wifi, apps from the market or something with dropbox, the wifi isn't not letting me down. I think there's a disconnect between what the graphic is reporting and the actual level.
It's good because it still works and is functional and allows me to keep using this on a daily basis despite its status.

Thats a good idea.. Not only might it help Samsung, but it will discourage people from running it (and later whinging).

i got it running for a few hours and i generally enjoyed it, but the keyboard has no bulgarian (well it have in the options but it does not work) and if you run out of ram you are screwed (the phone hangs or gets tooo slow ).
as said samsung apps doesn`t work and the gallery freezes very often...
i hate that samsung removed the fancy animations and the black menu bar....

There's like no gingerbread keyboard and launcher

1-3D performance
It's not as good as it was on 2.2.1. If you test some 3D games like NFS Shift, you culd see that it doesnt run so well as it did on 2.2.1
Some people even reports that they can’t even run lot of 3D games.
2-GPS
There are reports of a good gps performance, but I have read somewhere that it's contanstly throwing some kind of errors or bugs, I don't know how to check that. I guess they know it thanks to logcat or something like that.
According to what I could read on another forum they changed lot of gps files nad not is very similar to the ones of Nexus S, that's a good thing...
3-Keyboard
It’s also a shame that they didn’t include gingerboard keyboard…
PS: Some people might think that this thread isn’t useful, but as we are being kind of betatesters for Samsung it would be nice if we use this post only to report the most common bugs founds, so maybe Samsung could have a look at it and solve it faster.

Same here, it was so slow till i had to restart my i9000.

I've been using it for the last two days now (one of them with Supercurio's Voodoo Hack) and I've been happy with it in some parts, but quite unhappy in others.
Lag:
First of all, it seems the "Lag" that was fixed in 2.2.1 is back. Especially with memory-Hungry applications like the Browser, the phone tends to just freeze up for a few minutes without really doing much. I even had to pull the battery one time. This does happen less with the voodoo-fix, but it's still noticeable. Flash also does barely work.
Gingerbread features:
The new Gyroscope-Driver seems to work and it works really well. Skymap and Starchart both looked a LOT better when using them, no fidgeting around all the time anymore.
The new Gingerbread animations are NOT present in this rom. It seems like Samsung thinks they don't fit into TouchWiz, which is a shame. So no glowing edges when overscrolling and no screen-off or screen-on animation.
3D Performance pretty much seems to be the same as on 2.2.1 Games load a little slower, but I think that's mostly because we're using an un-optimized kernel.
The Bluetooth-Driver unfortunately still is the same as in Previous versions. So Neither Wiiremote nor PS3 will pair with the SGS, unlike on Cyanogenmod.
Samsung-Stuff:
As was stated before, Swype does not work. However, I am in the Swype beta and was able to install the Beta of Swype into this rom after deleting the normal swype with root explorer. It works fine, even Voice input does work.
All in all, it is clear that this is beta-firmware and it doesn't really offer much in terms of improvement over 2.2.1, at least not yet. Cyanogenmod 7, even tho it supports less hardware and is more unstable, runs a LOT faster and smoother than this, is more customizable and uses more of the new Gingerbread features.
For now, I'll be going back to 2.2.1, it's more useful as a daily driver, but this at least looks promising so far.

Reverting back to 2.2.1. 2.3.2 is way too slow.

Well considering this is a beta it seems alot of the features that are suppose to be in the final build are here left out. That will give the reason for quite some things missing ( some animations, effects, lock screens, keyboards....) Plus also cause of the beta build maybe even alpha who knows, the performance for me is really bad, it feels twice as laggy compared to the 2.2.1 releases. All in all this build is an striped down, not optimized build for the samsung devs i guess. We will have to wait for a better build leak. Cheers !

went from leaked gingerbread back to syndicate 1.1.0 and now the autorotate doesn't work, only when i open the keyboard. I did all the fixes, it still doesn't work, any idea how to fix it. I've had 3 epics and never had the problem of it not rotating, always slow rotating or something like that, but never no rotating.

Did you calibrate the accelerometer first? That might fix it. Mine get kinda wonky after reflashing and especially after using Odin.

i did the calib_yamaha, I calibrated the sensor, nothing did anything, I flashed the gb leak again and it works fine, I flash back to sf 1.1.0 and it doesn't work, so now I'm stuck on the gb leak which is a problem because the phone barely works and keeps dropping calls so I really need to get back to froyo.

Are you referring to rotating the home screen, or any and all apps? I might be mistaken, but I don't think TouchWiz rotates the home screen, at least not without sliding out the keyboard...
Also, I would recommend upgrading to SRF 1.2, it's even better than 1.1

Well, because 1.2 *is* different than 1.1 - hence the change in version numbers...
Why would you expect the two to be exactly the same? Kind of a silly question
A better question would be, "WHAT is different between the two, that would cause the auto rotate problem in 1.1?"
I don't know that answer, though... I think it may have been tied to the fully loaded version, because I remember experiencing it only once - when I briefly tried fully loaded, before going back to standard

Ok let me clarify my post. Running SR v1.1.1, rotate worked fine. Flashed Revoltion rom, didn't like it, few things didn't work like autorotate.
So I flashed another rom which fixed it, chose SR 1.2 to give it a try. If I flashed v1.1.1 that may have worked also.

so can we get back to the issue, i've tried 1.1.1 and the autorotate doesn't work. it appears to be a froyo issue as it worked fine for months and months and now only gingerbread roms will rotate. could that be because i'm using eh17 modem? i wouldn't think so.

Well, one or many of the changes between 1.1 and 1.2 might have affected rotation as a side effect - whatever caused the glitch in 1.1 must have been changed for a completely unrelated reason, and the glitch disappeared...
I think, from what you've reported, that it had something to do with the extras in the fully loaded version - that used a hacked TW, right? 1.2 doesn't have a fully loaded package that I'm aware of... But try the standard version, or just use the most recent version since it *is* better

It does nut appear to be a froyo issue, because 1.2 is froyo without the issue... In fact, so far the only froyo that appears to have this issue is the fully loaded version of 1.1... Several examples of froyo without the issue vs one with the issue would indicate that froyo is not the problem at all...
Unless I missed the part where you duplicated the issue on several other froyo roms - all I've seen mentioned is SRF 1.1 fully loaded... Have you seen the problem on 1.1 standard edition?
But you are correct about the modem having nothing to do with it

well you could be right, but i've been using the 1.1 for months and months, longer than any other rom and havent had a problem, and I've run many other roms, never had a problem. only time i've ever seen something like this is since running gingerbread leaks, now they work and the old one doesn't, I've flashed that same rom probably 10 times, never had a problem, gone from bonsai to that one and back again, never a problem so I would doubt the rom would have anything to do with it. I'll try the 1.2 if I can get it downloaded. last night the page wasn't coming up.

I'm wondering if gingerbread updated something that froyo relied on for sensor data (this is a long shot, falling under the category of "I don't see how they're related, but why not?")
Otherwise, it *almost* sounds like a hardware issue - except that you said it works fine on gingerbread... well, unless GB is using a different sensor reading...

i've only run gb for like 2 weeks, was working fine on froyo, can't understand it. I did download srf 1.2 last night as the site would come up now. so i might play with that this weekend, although the GB is working now and making phone calls without dropping so aside from random reboots its working. kinda makes it hard to sell the thing eventually though if it won't rotate.

well I put on the srf 1.2, autorotate works fine, im perplexed as to why that is since autorotate worked fine for the 6+ months that I ran it and i've never had autorotate stop working on any of the 3 epics i've had and any of the roms. but at least its working now and i have a stable phone.

ICS Evervolv p6

Tweeted here and MD5 here. From a full wipe, I had a really smooth install.
Youtube is working great on wifi and works on 3g as long as I check "high quality on mobile" in the settings, otherwise I was getting the choppy video issues.
No changes to the cam and Flash still does not work as far as I can tell, ie. opening the flash app results in a blank page, and there is a blank space where the movie should be on Adobe's version checker page. No missing plugin icon, but its not functioning.
Still sound but no video on Netflix.

I just installed preview 5 two days ago and it's been running very smoothly thus far, only one reboot. Any significant changes you've noticed in p6 that would be worth wiping p5 for?

Well, you can modify what apps are shown on the lockscreen. I wish there was a changelog so you could see what was added.

Other than the baked in Exchange apk fix and the additional lock screen customization, I've not seen a great deal of difference yet. Hard to tell since they don't have changelogs for the previews. If you're happy with 5 I'd probably stick with 5 for now.
As a side note, I've had a couple of random reboots today and I had some weird issues with the launcher right after I installed Swiftkey X.
Also, really have to recommend Nova launcher. Flashed that over p6 a few hours ago and I'm loving this thing.

Yeah, loving Nova Launcher on my ICS Gnex. The ability to restore homescreens is really nice.

I guess this is a little off topic but: Anyone know why it's so difficult to get the camcorder working? I'm a complete noob when it comes to Linux but is there that much difference between GB and ICS?

I'm no expert either, however I know the issue with getting the camera to work initially had to due with getting the drivers working in ICS (and there being no source for the drivers). I don't know how they got working camera drivers to begin with, but I'd only assume that the camcorder functionality needs a separate driver, or the current driver does not have camcorder support.

Whatever the source of the difficulty, a dev tweet has indicated a working camcorder in the next preview build. Glad to see progress being made, ICS has made me feel like I don't really need to spend money on an upgrade yet.

Indeed. P7 is up now and it has early camcorder support. I'm sure it will improve as time goes on, but it's a start for those who need it!

Many apps haven't received ICS compatibility updates yet since there is only one phone that officially has it. It will probably be hit and miss for a while.
That said, Netflix and Flash are both ICS compatible, but don't work properly on any of the dinc roms I've tried.

Has anyone tried getting the numpad to display when using the phone? I dialed 8228 to update roaming capabilities, when the option said press 2 I could not get the numpad up to press it.

Try downloading Ex Dialer from the market and set it as default.
This is my go-to app for AOSP and faulty dialing ROMs, see if it works for you.
