How do I know my JI6 update was successful?? - Vibrant General

Yeah pretty dumb question but I did the update but forgot to unroot and lag fix, but it went through the motions which seemed fast like under 2 mins. It then started up like normal and didn't lose root or anything. What's the best way to make sure you are running the update? Thanks!

Go to settings -> about phone -> build number, if you see it ends with JI6 you've updated, if it ends with JFD you haven't.

On your phone go to settings>about phone and look at the baseband version. If it's updated it should say T959UVJ16 and Build number ECLAIR.UVJ16

Yeah not gone through... Lol thanks guys!

[Q] Force Close when checking for system updates

After I rooted my SF I noticed that whenever i go to Settings and go into About Phone and check for System Updates I get this error
Sorry! The application settings (processcom.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Force Close
is this something i should be worried about? At first i thought maybe it was because i had a custom rom or maybe a kernel but i have tried several rom and kernel combos just to be sure but i keep getting the same error.The rest of the phone has been working fine. I am currently using Superdark rom and stupidfast kernel.
This is my first Android phone so i am still learning. Thanks.
Pretty much all the custom roms for our phone have ota updates disabled which its why you get that error. Don't sweat it.

Thanks for the quick response Hatespawn. Glad i don't have to worry about it. Looking forward to the maintenance update, ksizzle9. Hopefully it'll address the gps issue.
billypickett-there are much smarter and experienced people than me that have written up very easy directions. Take a few minutes and look around in this forum and you'll find a much better answer than i would give. Good luck.

Syndicate Frozen lags, what could it be?

Ok I posted a few weeks back about my phone being a little laggy when I first started it up but it started becoming progressively worse even with closing all running apps in the settings>applications>running services thing cause I thought there might be a lot running but that didn't help.
So last night thinking a fresh start would help I reflashed the newest syndicate frozen rom and my phone is still being a little slower than I would want not to mention slower than everyone elses reviews. And on top of that my battery drain iis pretty bad (dropped like 20% in the last hour with moderate use).
So I was just wondering if there's any way to pinpoint what might be causing this (like certain apps running) or a way to try and correct it? Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks

Not sure what it is but ill give my experience. A while ago I had the same issue. Turn out there was something wrong with the stock ec05 tar. I had a modified version and didn't know it. No matter what rom I flashed it didn't perform well. Also, I use my epic is my main form of internet use. Most roms and mods I dl str8 to my phone. Well, it also turns out that downloading roms str8 onto the sd card game me some errors. Probably because of some fault in the data. Redownload everything you need. When you odin back to ec05 format your sd card also. Should do the trick unless there's something wrong with your phone.

One thing that might help is if you have Titanium backup or Mybackup Root freeze DRM content and SNS services. Also are you running setcpu? If so try removing it to see if that helps. If it does then your setting are off and you need to tweak your settings. Do you have journaling enabled? Another thing what kernel are you using? I liked Vision kernel over Twilight some have also mentioned Genocide being good also. I am NOT saying Twilight is a bad kernel just it does give some people issues with certain setups.

Thanks for the response. I already had drm frozen, just froze sns (what does that do?), so we'll see how that helps. I also uninstalled setcpu to see if theres any improvement there.
Im running twilight kernel, maybe if the problems persist ill have to try out another one. With kernels all I do is flash? Will any info be lost or wil I have to wipe etc? Or just flash and your good to go?
Thanks again

In the development section in the sticky about bringing ur phone back from bricked. Look at my post. (Its the last few) use that eb13 to odin. That one always works 100%.
Also, don't use twilight 1.1 that came with srf. I've tested it and it has several issue's. Use genocide. (Genocide 1.1 was posted on pages 195-199 I believe)

Isnt the new syndicate based on ec05?
I'm definitely going to check into using the genocide kernel. I'm not quite sure I fully understand what a kernel does and what the differences would be to change so much? Do I have to clear data before flashing it?

Just flash the kernel no need for wipe. Just make sure you nan first.
Thanks everyone! I just rewiped and reflashed the SFR 1.1.1 again and it seems to be working fine so far.
I haven't installed all the apps I had before and don't plan on it because I have all I need on it now and it could have been an unnecessary app causing problems or just a bad wipe but either way so far so good.
Ill post back if theres any issues in the next few days. Thanks again.

Flash the genocide kernel 1.1.
"The greatest respect you can earn is self respect" Louie Simmons
Ok so I reflashed and it was working perfectly, buttery smooth no lag nothing. I was completely happy. I charged my phone and used it until about 10% turned it off and replaced the battery with a 100% charged one I have as a backup.
Once I turned it on it began lagging again, as well as draining the battery quicker than before and on top of that it did an old problem I had that I didn't mention before which when you turn off the screen it turns back on showing the lock screen then goes off after about 5 seconds.
I have no idea what it could be and why it magically came bac after a shut down/reboot :/
Also if I switch to the genocide kernel do I have t reinstall all my apps again or does it just flash and keep all info? Do I have to wipe data/cache?
Thanks again
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
You have to wipe cache and dalvik, then flash Genocide. It will retain all data.
Have a nice day.

In fact it's a feature for better differentiate simple clicks from scrollings, so Samsung will probably have it in all his firmwares, and you'll have to install the fix on every wipe(it isn't permanent).
Well ive tried it and it still feels the same, quite juttery on homescreens??
App drawer and menu is fine its just a prob with the homescreen being juttery.

OP updated with a method to root stock EH06.
I updated today and am generally pleased. It is fast, no lag, some improvements in appearance.
Sadly, the keyboard is still an issue. It misses letters like before.
The biggest miss is the "Logs" on the Talk screen. It remains unconsolidated, unlike a true Gingerbread device. My son's Nexus consolidates the Log to one entry per contact, then you click them to see the activity. With this, if you trade 20 texts with someone, you get 20 lines of the same person. It was utterly ridiculous in a beta version and to still have it in 2.3.x is just inexcusable.
Aside from that though, all is smooth. Used Odin to root with CWM, flashed SU, and life is better.
UPDATE: GPS will not lock. When it does and it loses it, it won't come back. Also, there is no "back" function on the stock browser. Hitting the previous screen key closes the browser.
I've tried this on windows xp and my epic got bricked i can get into download mode, but the only pc that recognizes my epic is the same that bricked it, really don't know what to do, i can't odin it to stock rom or any rom, i'm kinda desperate, can anyone help me please? thanks a lot!

Yup I did a fresh install. I have both the ripple lock and the agile lock (sense 3.0) and they both do the same. I found out that they ado work but to I have to use the volume to show unlock (weird) If I hit the power button nothing happens at all.
Been using it for about an hour now...so far so good. No problems and as fast and lite as I remember.
Gonna stick with it as my normal runner if no issues creep up.

To be honest with you I only tried CM7 for about an hour. I just didnt like the look and layout, plus it seems like it comes with so much more things installed (bloat to me). During that hour it did not feel any faster nor smoother than Oxygen. Been using Oxygen since 2.2.1 till now and I have NEVER got a reboot or freeze. Check it out man, you wont be dissapointed.
