nice man, thanks

Thanks, but it's definitely not complete. It's at least missing the change where when battery becomes fully charged you get audible notification and icon in notification bar.

yeah, I stated that it is the changes made besides those you can see from UI. (UI stands for User Interface - battery notification counts under this category).
P.S. I know MediaHub is included but without starting the application, you can't tell from looking at the UI alone.
Edit: I added Almost to my sentence, there happy? lol.

JI6 feels extremely smooth compare to stock JDF, I don't even use lagfix anymore because it makes the phone soft brick when you flash another ROM (stock or cooked). Many people have reported the same changes in feeling as well for both JI5 and JI6.

Built in to ji6, If so where?
On a side not I've noticed after the update my phones a little buggy. Like it blazes in places it used to lag and lags on things it used to never have problems with. I know the is not the thread to talk about such things. Just thought I'd mention it while asking about the market widget. Thinking of doing a hard reset to see if that still clear it up.
Also not positive about this but I think the phone will auto drop out of 3g when battery is low, possibly to save juice. Like I said I'm not positive on this but I get full bars at home and since updating phone has dropped out of 3g several times, which has never happened before. This only happens as far as I've noticed when battery is getting low. Maybe its just coincidence. Has anyone else noticed this?
I'm 100% stock and not rooted

JI6 was very smooth compared to JFD, that's for sure. However, having moved on to Bionix 1.8 w/ voodoo, I find stock JI6 kind of laggy, especially in home key transitions.

Is there a way to turn that off? I got the update last night and it was annoying to have that tone go off while charging my Vibrant overnight.

Left out the part where the update fixed the default program bug. You can change program defaults without the phone resetting them. As an example ... Using launcher pro or zeam when I press home it would give a selection dialog that tells you to pick one. Now if you were to check the default and choose launcher pro the home button would automatically open launcher pro like three time then open up the default program selection.

Anyway to disable Media Hub so it doesn't start every 15 minutes and drain my battery. I'll probably never use it.

I'll definitely agree with these (can't comment on the others yet). My system feels amazingly fast compared to how it did under 023. I can navigate FolderOrganizer as quickly as I select folders, whereas under 023 there was a delay each time it drew a folder. Everything just feels much more responsive.

Did you get the 026 firmware through SEUS, or did you root to it?
Because if you rooted to it, then the issue is with your root and not the firmware. Lack of paid apps is common after rooting. It often fixes itself within 24 hours, or requires some extra steps to fix.
I got it from seus no root and the application I an talking about is available if you switch back to 23 moreover this is a free application used for removing market search history.

Stupid autolock after call remains
I lost apps by updating to 026 also, I backed up my apps but some are "private" and cannot be backed up as a result I lost them and when searching the market they are not there. This includes ASTRO Pro, Tapatalk Pro and PayPal.
My phone is not rooted but I did de-brand it using Omnius, back to 016 at the moment as I have those apps back with 016.
This very annoying as the phone was improved on 020.

I agree - this is becoming ridiculous! Why wont SE fix the in call volume??? Instead they add extra software rather than fixing the biggest problem IMO of the X10 that you cant hear people when trying to make a call! This is infuriating me!
WiFi & BT + HBH-IS800 fixed
WiFi & BT + HBH-IS800 it is finally working you can surf the web via WiFi read email while listening to music via BT headset.
I also noticed that BT range is better I can now roam the flat without loosing headset connection.
Ok, want to add that the timescape is definitely faster.

How did you get 026?? Did you root it?? I tried seus (in Canada) it doesn't have 026. I even clicked for repair and still ended up with 020!!

Yep. I've been rooted since they released the 023 root method. Rogers is too slow with releasing firmware updates, and I've been looking for some battery issues to be resolved (as well as wanting WiFi tethering and the ability to scrap all the SE preloaded software).

What's new with Froyo on DX

The DX specific changes with the Froyo update that I've noticed:
• Better text zoom bubble for cursor placement and text selection. Faster. Nicely shifted up, so not as covered by finger.
• Swype looks nicer, also seems quicker/smoother.
• Clock in notif bar now shows AM/PM (seems a waste of space).
Anything else that's not general to Froyo?
e.g.
A couple of more that I noticed....
- Lock screen is different.
- Some minor changes to gmail(even before the new 2.2 version of gmail). You can now click to the next message without going back to the inbox first.
In addition to what you guys mentioned... the gallery has changed, they added a file explorer program, and the phone seems to run quite a bit faster (I'm using LauncherPro Plus, not the stock launcher). They said they were going to improve the weather and calendar widgets, but I didn't notice any change.
New camera app that was in the leaked build?
Don't notice any difference in Files program, using LauncherPro but not plus. Phone seems to respond faster. Quadrant up from 1290's to 1400+ however stopping services seems slower?
How are you guys getting 1400+ in Quadrant? My highest run was 1375. So far FroYo has been good except I'm not sure if I like the removal of the .com button in the browser keyboard.

Reran Quadrant now 1445,seems to getting faster, previous run was 1403.
Quadrant up to 1513 then , when pressing menu button settings was unresponsive so rebooted , now working ,will monitor , quadrant now high 1390's FWIW
Now back up to high 1400's , phone is stable and everything's appears to be working. Youtube is great.
Holding down "Home" button gives you a Recent App window. Somewhat same as before but I think it looks nicer.
Long hold on Magnify glass button gives you a speak-to-search tutorial. Was this available on 2.1?
Voice Actions is only available in 2.2

They changed the way the period and comma work. Before you could double tap that button to switch between period and comma, now its period by default and you have to long press for other punctuation. Overall I find it a little annoying and makes it take longer for me to text because I have to wait for a comma.
Also they changed something with the autocorrect/predictive text but I'm not exactly sure how. All I know is,sometimes after I'm done typing a text, I hit done, go to hit send (muscle memory, without looking at the screen) and somehow accidentally end up changing a word in the text message based off of a predictive text list that is still active underneath the text window. I'm not sure why it stays afterwards.
Has anyone else had any trouble playing media like pandora and mp3's? It will play for awhile and then it says media type not recognized and I have to reboot. Once I reboot my mp3 plays just fine then does it again.

Pandora works fine for me, although lately I've gotten a lot of error messages in the beginning when I First open it, but they don't seem to affect playback. I haven't really tried many MP3s, but I have noticed videos, specifically videos that I actually took with the camera, are giving me that exact same behavior. It says it's unsupported, and then if I reboot it works for a little while, then stops working again.
Have any of you gone from the 2.2 leak to 2.2 OTA? The OTA will have a newer kernel and baseband and I am curious to know if a performance increase is noticeable going from the Leak to OTA.
I have this problem. Had to reset the phone to get it to stop. Very annoying issue.

DK28 Regressions

I figure it be a good place to try and list all the regressions in behavior we see in DK28.
can be used to list them / point out what changed and why its not really a regression, just have to change what we do.
I've noticed two things so far
1) Can't dial by last name in on screen keypad dialer, just first name. This is somewhat annoying (especially as my friends last names are more distinct than first names)
2) missing all my "other" calendars in calendar app. (i.e. I have facebook exported that way, along with holidays and some other stuff). Also doesn't let me select individual calendars that I want to list. I believe this might have a backup/restore issue. Just reset my phone and haven't restored anything from backup and have all my calendars.
This also seems to impact agenda widget. For some reason calltrack does work Part of me assumes I'm doing something wrong here.
Update:
Other regressions: (reported and verified by independent source)
3) Mediahub no longer works (requires you to update it from Market, but can't be found): noted: 12/5/2010 by jwhisl (Orbiting234: probably related to Market not recognizing DK28)
4) No way to prevent GPS data from being included in EXIF of Pictures if GPS is on: noted 12/5/2010 by styckx
One odd thing I noticed was with Dolphin browser. When holding the back button to bring up the exit menu it used to vibrate when it popped up. Now it does not. It still vibrated before I upgraded to froyo.
I know it is a little thing any meaningles but it threw my whole operating habits out of wack.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
I've noticed that the Mediahub application no longer works. When I launch the app it tells me to install an update then sends me to the market. Unfortunately the market cant find the download I need so I cant watch any of my purchased media. The phone is also telling me that the media type is not supported.
Installed dk28 via zip and hard reset device to fix audio, camera, and memory card issues
might anybody have the update in apk or zip format?
Ok, this one is pissing me off. It seems you can no longer disable gps data getting lumped into you camera pictures.
Becareful! Turn off gps entirely unless you want you photos exif data containing your location.

I can use 4G in NYC, though I do notice when I reboot the phone that a similar thing happens, I just attribute it to be doing to omuch processing.
Besides Media Hub update not being found in marketplace, Car Home and Desk Home apps are unable to be found in the market either. Will probably all be worked out once DK28 is properly recognized by the market for these particular apps.
anyone notice the auto complete isn't working and only recognizes names in the contact list?
It failed my test. Just like the previous leaks, last.fm skips and jitters when browsing the web and playing music at the same time. As a matter of fact, music skips any time I do anything thqat even moderately taxes the cpu. My Evo does fine under the same conitions. Why, Samsung, why?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I'm kind of hoping that this is still a beta version and not final cause it still has some flaws compared to ecclair. I made a thread in the Developement forum about the problems I am having with dk28.
Slow rotation
Slower frame rate on notification drop down
Browser choppiness and checker boarding
etc.
media hub is an exclusive samsung galaxy app
some of the dk25 roms have nexus one signatures in the build.prop that is why is doesn't show it

I downloaded the zip file last night when it was first posted on here. I had stock rom, changed the file name on my phone to update.zip, moved it to root folder, did the recovery and update. Everything is fine and I'm on froyo 2.2.1 now. I'm try to replicate the problems you guys are having, but I can't. The only problem I can replicate is the checkered box when zooming in and out. My hardware is .5 and I just bought the phone last month. I got my wifes at the same time and hers is doing just fine as well. Do you guys think that even though my hardware is .5 that there could be some differences in the phone since everything is still working better then 2.1 for me and my wife?

-swype sucks after update
-browser does not auto hide keyboard once completed text imput and window refreshes
-as noted, the geotagging data on the pictures cannot be prevented even with gps off
all of these, on top of an ugly messaging app have caused me to do a complete factory reset just to get rid of the issues. i never had problems with 2.1 so i guess i'll stick with it until the final release.

Check your Swype Settings. [Speed vs. Accuracy] may be tuned for speed. Slide it over to the right and it should work better.
After using this for 8hrs now. I've come to the conclusion this release sucks a bag of .....
Crappy keyboard lag, last.fm skipping, the captivate buttons responsiveness has changed (for the worse), delayed screen rotation, camera writing exif gps data unless you disable gps and wireless location.
Overall this just runs and feels like pure junk. I was never one demanding and frothing for 2.2 and I'm glad I have backups of my 2.1 install and will be going back to it. I liked 2.2 at first until I really got to feeling it out.
Sure GPS is fixed but they screwed up 10 things in its place.

+1 on this sentiment. I am not having any issues like this. Now this is not a regression, but I noticed that there is still the cell standby issue that requires airplane mode toggle. I find that glitch to be really frustrating.

Froyo Update Changes Thread - Pros and Cons

NOTE: THIS IS NOT A THREAD TO POST ISSUES WITH THE UPDATE PROCESS, ONLY ISSUES AFTER UPDATING THAT HAVE BEEN CAUSED/FIXED BY THE NEW VERSION.
In an effort to consolidate all the information into one thread, hopefully everyone can just post their own experience with the new Stock Froyo build here after having updated through Kies.
List issues you're experiencing, as well as issues that may have been fixed with this update from the previous version.
Hopefully this will cut back on thread spam and help people decide whether or not they want to try out the stock Froyo 2.2 update!
I'll start it off and say that so far I've heard that the Gallery is working great, but Avatar seems to be having DRM issues. GPS seems to be something where YMMV, some say it's great, some say it's worse.
What have you noticed?
So far all good things.
CONS: missing stock android keyboard, paid apps missing in Market until ROM is recognized.
I installed the GB KB and am good to go as far as that is concerned.
GPS in UVKA 7 still wayyy off for me, definitely a hardware issue.
I have not done any tweaks or change in settings, like a I said wayy off..
Pros (to me at least):
I noticed that the screen auto-rotation is now controllable via the notification/switch pulldown on the home screen.
I don't recall this from before, so please gently correct me if I'm wrong. While entering text, if you hold down on the entry window a blue pointer appears that you can use to place the cursor in the text easier.
Gmail improvements:
- You can reply/forward messages from the top of the email instead of having to scroll all the way to the bottom.
- You can scroll from from email to email by using arrows at the bottom of the window, instead of having to go back into inbox/outbox/etc and selecting the next email
CON: I can't get any data.
Any help?
With regards to the Calendar app, can anyone confirm whether or not you can now actually change the default calendar from My Calendar to Google? Or do you still have to change each new entry to Google when you go to add an entry into the Calendar? That was such a dumb move.... a step backwards from Android via Touch Wiz, heh.
Pros: higher Quadrant score than 2.1
Better UI
Mobile AP
Flash
Camera seems to be better in the dark now
Better battery life
Faster
Cons: No apps in the Market's Download section
Old market
Avatar is not accessible

You are able to set other calendars as the default calendar. I just created a new event and no longer does it default to the lame TouchWiz calendar.
How's the gallery perform? Does it freeze like it did after that small update T-Mobile sent out months ago?

The issue with the gallery lock was always random for me. So far I have had no issues moving in and out of the gallery.
Avatar doesnt launch because the mouny point for the external sd has changes. The drm issue im unsure how to remedy.
Lag is still the same.
Still cant set default home screen.
Changed calendar notifications to white background.
Skype anf yahoo apps should work now.
C2DM works for apps like Trillian (saves a lot of battery)
Will check if the exchange client still rapes battery tomorrow.
Oh, and wifi calling/sms for those of us in very low reception areas.
Data speeds seem incredible. Wifi reception inproved...
Improved txt selection copy and paste. Darker notification bar.

Major problem, the haptic feedback is really really really weak. This happened b4 when i flashed a leaked 2.2 rom and the official one does the same thing -.-, the vibration intensity is at max when ur in the settings and set it to max u get a strong vibration, however when u press any of the 4 bottom buttons and dialer u get really weak vibration, feels like its at the lowest setting. This really annoys me. Does neone know how to fix this or if a rom currently out has alrdy fixed it?

I have had horrible gallery issues, every time I opened it it would freeze. It's great now, but why the hell did they go back to old pics on the top? I want my recent pics on the top.
My gps did not work, but I turned it off, reset it w the gps restore app and now it locks in maps at 30 meters to start instead of 1400 meters. (so, much improved)
Avatar does not work for me, but I updated my co worker's phone, and hers works. wth
I can't look at my display settings, it forces close, I think because I had a bunch of flipfonts installed. I uninstalled them all and it still doesn't work. Any ideas?
ETA: Haptic feedback feels fine to me
I feel the phone is a bit lag too
I want to flash back to JFD and try it from zero again.
BTW I cant root with z4root, how can I root now?
KA6 was the version released through Samsung Kies
Flashed KA7 (screw KA6..). Took awhile to boot up but made it
Gallery seems to be okay, haven't deleted any pics yet. Phone seems as snappy as it did with KA5. Data speed seems the same as well. GPS actually performs better, if not the same as KA5. Just a minute or two to lock on and failry acurate within 30FT (on my way home I was able to lock onto 6-10 sats in a few seconds). Installed GB Keyboard, no issues there. Market udpated itself, apps show up and works just fine.
All in all, works just as good as KA5 did, with maybe some minor improvments.
PS. why is the haptic feedback such a huge issue? OMG MY BUTTONS DON'T VIBRATE WHEN TOUCHED!!

Bugs/Suggestions of Samsung official Jellybean [XXLSJ]

Hello. Well have this last update for our devices official from samsung. And I thought on helping samsung perfecting it. So in order to so that I think we should make this thread where we all together say wich are the bugs we found. I find already 2 bugs on the email app wich leads to a lot of wakeup calls, makes the phone use alot cpu and force closes when we touch on priority mail. There are other bugs wich people found here so I think we should list them.
Rules are simple, if you find a bug, report here and say how to replicate it. We together see it, and list here to report to samsung. Also suggestions to make things better. (of bugs or things you think that could be better) ​
Since they give us a ROM. At least a perfect well done one. What do you think? They need happy costumers. Or well go elsewhere.
Ps: if you can leave logcat, I'll leave on the email all log cats attached to each bug
List of bugs:
The Email app crashes when the general options, and priority email sections are accessed.
Buggy Microsoft Exchange integration. It seems to use an excessive amount of resources causing battery drain. This problem only seems to exist within the default Email app.
Smart stay not working properly.
Samsung keyboard's gesture typing is unable to properly detect and type the whole word.
Swype Keyboard won't automatically insert a space (I don't think this is a bug due to the text field being an address bar)
Sometimes, lock screen is unresponsive.
In the app drawer, when the apps are sorted alphabetically, then as downloaded apps it crashes Touchwiz Home.
In Car Mode, TalkBack is not functioning and is very unresponsive.
Google Maps and Samsung Push Services uses an excessive amount of battery when it is not used.
Throughout the OS, there are issues with stuttering and lack of responsiveness.
Wi-Fi connection often freezes after deep sleep of around 10 - 15 minutes ("Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" is set to "Always"). Wi-Fi notification icon shows that it's connected, but no data can be sent or received. (Only solution found so far is to manually disconnect and reconnect.)
In the camera, there is a reddish blemish on the center when the camera is used in low-light situations(I believe this is a hardware issue.)
Project Butter seems to be improperly implemented.
Unable to use the handwriting function on the Samsung Keyboard because it force closes.
Nasty color banding
After reboot , changes made in launcher menu will go back to how it was in begining (for example Folders created, disapear, or just the apps inside it, will be offside)
Suggestions list:
Music Controls (most members suggest this)
Lock screen more costumizable with possibility of more than three icons, something new I found ugly the way we unlucky the screen. (votes?)
Quick reply as cm has (i find this really useful, votes?)
Option to set if we want zoom in or zoom out option in the rear of the phone while browsing
in powermore , on the browser, instead of blue, an option to keep the white.
More sms before converting to mms, or if possible a manual option for that.
Lockscreen sometimes unresponsive, and the hand writing (?

Good idea!
Indeed, the dark grey notification bar seems not right.
Also, the lock screen doesn't always work...and music controls aren't there yet.
The screen stays on when you leave it on the table..it sometimes registers a face when it's not there.

This is not a bug. Use better battery stats to see what problem you have. I was able to get 6 hours of scree, time with standard battery
