Complete directions can be found here
I'm on Orange and am waiting until it's officially released Via Kies. Only reason being, that I phoned them when I discovered the GPS problems and told them if it wasn't fixed in the firmware update, I'd be asking for a different phone.
Point being, just be sure you aren't going to void your warranty using the Reg hack.
Logicalstep
Im on orange UK and updated via the reg hack without any issues apart from no longer being able to send MMS even after setting up correct APN...

what version of kies are you using? I tried the reg hack on the latest 1.5.3.10103
but it does Not work
I used this post.

It also gives you a link to the correct kies to use
I followed that exactly and everything went perfectly
Oh and i should of said, you will need to uninstall your current version of kies.

Was your handset debranded and/or unlocked at the point of updating?
FYI
Spoke to the Orange Customer Service team today. He confirmed that Froyo should see a full release over Kies by the second week of December.
Even though it won;t fix my GPS issues, at least I'll be able to copy and pasts from Emails!
Logicalstep
Thanks for that info logicalstep- Shall believe it when we get it though....
haha yeah I know what you mean.
My phones also being replaced tomorrow to see if I can get one with a working GPS. I have told them that I'm prepared to go through their whole stock until I find one that works
Either that or give me a white one, that way I know it's a more recent manufacture and will hopefully have the GPS fixed.
Wish me luck.
Logicalstep
Good Luck!
Hate to boast but my GPS works really well ...
Really?
What's the longest journey you have been on? and have you deviated from the set course?
This is when I see it at it's worst.
Just for you information as well, it seems a bit strange to me. The replacement phone they have sent it a cross between Eclair and Froyo. It says 2.1 update in the software screen, but it has a GPS button and new task manager? Bit stange
It also comes with more Orange Crapware. And here's a slightly interesting thing. On my first SGS, I noticed it had a kind of springy sound inside, if you gave it a light flick it would have the very slight reverberation, as if there was a spring inside that was attached only at one end. The new one doesn't have any such sound / feeling to it.
I wonder if there is a connection to the GPS being crap on the first device?
I'll do a proper test of the next few days and report back.

My SGS firmware/software exactly as yours is-only got it 6 weeks ago.
Havent been any vast distance on gps but mucked up with it seeing how fast it picks up satellites,trying it out on localish roads and turning off bypasses for example the exit before it tells me too (cos I know the roads) it generally has worked out the route by the time Im on the roundabout at the top of the slip road. Bearing in mind Im in a Transit usually so not moving that fast to start with... Does all I need, and well. Apps like Layar work well too.
Hopefully for you this version sorts out the hassle with GPS.
I did a track back from Footie tonight, only 5 miles, but it seemed good!
No jumping about, although I did have the updates set slow-ish. Will try with Google navigation on Friday, have an hours drive to do.

This morning I just recived the 1.5 update, I am in the uk and am in the durham county Region , after 20 mins of exploring I think it is great. Has any else recived this update in the uk. Ps I am using the onscreenbord for this.post
I'm in Cambridge UK.
Woke up this morning to find update available. Loaded it while i took a shower.
Love it to bits. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant! Think i will now move over to my G1 permanently instead of my Touch HD. Might even sell the HD and pocket some money too...wow, money in pocket, G1 update..could this be heaven?
The on screen keyboard is what needed the most. I like the new browser icon too, never did like the sort of folder paper thingy before.
Only one minor thing i need now, Bluetooth file send and receive. No big deal though.
A lot of people in the UK have got OS 1.5 (Cupcake) now..
I got my update last night!...
Read the comments on here:

lol, just as i was about to do a manual update, the ota message popped up.
Only problem is there's still stuff missing, like Latitude... again! Oh well, guess we'll wait until next century for the UK to catch up, lol.

Search for the latitude kloader in the market. It will install it into ur Map and then u r able to use it
Just out of curiosity where any of your phones rooted when you received the notification of the OTA update? I cant seem to find a straight answer on if you can get the update OTA on a rooted phone or not. Currently my phone is rooted however I do want to download 1.5 when its rolled out in the US.
According to the About Phone section in the settings menu im running "kila-user 1.1 PLAT-RC33 126986
ota-rel-key,release-key"
Thanks
butlerguy, if i were you, i would better get JesusFreke's build. The OTA will not give root options as it is based upon the ADP1.5 basic build.
You may even loose root altogether, then need to downgrade to do the process again....
Well im not really too concerned with losing root at the moment. I havent found many personal uses for root yet other then using the openoverclocker app to set the clock speed of the processor which just makes the phone run smoother. From what I understand 1.5 seems to address the laggy issues. Just really need to know if im gonna have to flash back to a tmobile build to be able to get the update or not.
I like the upgrades. I don't like the interface at all. Too cld and boring for me. I wouldn't use the on-screen keyboard either (but it would be used by other android phones)..
So yes I will receive the update OTA with a rooted phone? Is what I'm getting out of this?

No. You wont be able to install it, believe me, i've tried.
I'm JF, RC9, FIRMWARE 1.1, RADIO,1.22.14.11
So if you are rooted apart from rc7, then you wont be able to.
If i'm right in saying that? Anyone?
Tried searching but no luck. I was using JF ADP 1.5 and my location in google maps without using GPS was pretty accurate and up to date. I put the JF tmobile cupcake on my G1 and now my location barely even updates let alone be even remotely accurate. should I wipe my phone and see if that helps? I think I have the new radio installed. How can I verify the new radio version?
Anyone? I rely on this feature quite a bit.
Look at upgrading to jf 1.51 3.3.2 by cyanogen or thedudes 1.2a there are no location issues that I am aware of
power down
press and hold power and camera button.
you should read the radio ending "26I"
that's the lastest radio.

Nope and it's not your phone. It's T-Mobile. I asked here, no response (huge surprise, I know). I've asked on TMobile's "official" forums, no answer. I've asked on multiple cell phone boards, no answer. I do not want to call Customer Service AGAIN because they will blame my phone despite the fact I have 3 of them right here, right now all doing the same thing and all with various builds. Just for reference, he's one of my previous posts:
Started happening a few weeks ago. Applications that rely on the My Location service within Android fail because Android isn't receiving a location. Examples of this are the Google homepage and the multitudes of weather apps when set to Current Location. I'm inclined to believe it's a tower problem for a few reasons.
* I have multiple G1's (2 G1's,and a Dev phone) having the same issue while in close proximity to each other even after fresh Factory Resets on all of them. (and with various builds including OTA builds)
* The problem disappears when switching to 2G (confirmed with a Market app called "Cellfinder"). Cellfinder will find the tower ID as shown below but no location reported from the tower. If I bump it down to 2G the LAC and CID stay the same but are now reporting the tower location.
* The DDMS log tool within the Android 1.5 SDK shows that Android is at least trying to get a location lock but failing with various LocationManager errors saying no location was found.
* The phone's are getting service and with BetterCut & Cellfinder I can see the associated tower's LAC and CID which leads me to believe that the 3G portion of the towers are simply not reporting location back to the phone.
Customer service wants to RMA the G1 I have on record. The phone(s) is(are) not broken so I declined. I'm at a loss on who to talk to next. BTW, despite my unresolved issue your guys' techs are fantastic. I love the up beat attitudes and great service.

Ah thanks for the info. I was beginning to think it wasn't something about the phone. I guess I'll give them a call, just to show that this issue does exist. Its a shame I cant use it though.

It is a shame. Every single background service that requests My Location is now hosed.
I am in the same boat with you guys. I can get a GPS lock, but no radio lock. And since I too rely heavily on this feature it's a major problem. What I'm concerned about is that, if I understand correctly, it is not working with a non-root phone as well now? I rooted two days ago, and before that it was fine. It's about to become a deal breaker for me. May have to un-root if it will work like that. =(
BTW JF1.51CBR43 ROM
Ok, may have spoke too soon. So here's what worked for me. If you use something like toggle settings or make a custom toggle this is not TOO inconvenient. I put my settings to 2G only, and wahla!!!!! I have My Location back and all my other location based software works.
Hope this helps! Now, if I can just get the damned Bluetooth to work, I won't have to unroot. Yep, may be another deal breaker for me.

1) I already posted that this problem does not exist with 2G in this very thread.
2) Just this morning I started to get location data with 3G however it's not nearly as accurate as 2G. While this works fine for city level information such as weather it's rather crude.
I have just done the registry hack and got JPM through kies without a glitch.
It took me literally 2 minutes to do the registry and then just let kies download and install the update through the normal method.
I have not lost any apps / data.
My connection over 3g and sms and wifi is working fine.
All google accounts are intact.
I updated from JM1 to JPM.
If any UK users are having any worries about doing this i can tell you that it ran perfectly for me.
I would recommend the method but dont blame me if something did go wrong lol. Do so at your own discretion.
Did it change your product code?
Did the same as you 2 hours ago and it running like a dream!
I'm really tempted to give this a shot but after reading about a possible brick form another UK user, I think I'll wait until Samsung UK officially rolls out the update.

us UK galaxy is named as just i9000 right?
and what difference are there between JPM to JPA to JP6? They all run froyo don't they?
Can someone please upload some MP4 HD video so we can see how it looks now and is it close to the iPhone 4 quality ?

Sorry im new around here, what you mean by normal method ?
Just tried it, a bit nerve wracking during that looooooong (well, it seemed long) reboot but its brilliant now. GPS a lot better, flash playing, the pinch to see all 7 home screens etc. Very happy!
FYI I am on an unbranded SGS with a vodafone contract (bought through phones for you).
PS the RAM monitor in the samsung task manager only shows 304 meg of RAM. I remember reading somewhere that FROYO uses all 512 meg, is the difference because of chunks reserved by the OS for stuff?
After an incredibly long boot, I have successfully updated my JM1 unbranded phone using this method
Nothing at all was wiped and the market etc. worked perfectly without me doing anything - the entire process went very smoothly.

By normal method i mean after you have changed the kies registry you just go back into kies and click on pgrade firmware and install 2.2 as you would with any firmware through kies.
Glad its worked for the rest of you guys too.
It is a little bit nerve racking lol but its worth it and as long as you do everything correctly you should have no problem at all.
The people that HAVE had trouble are mostly people that have forgotten to take the lagfix off their phones before starting the update... Even if it was the UK version and they went for the upgrade without taking off the lagfix it would still cause problems to the phone.
Vow, I thought hd video quality cant be better than this, for a phone..

I DESPERATELY need this update to fix my alarm clock but if it doesn't the phone is going back as I'm sick of being late for things due to having no morning alarm! (The clock on my SGS stops updating when the gphone goes to sleep hence I get no morning alarm!)

As far as I know at this point there are no Bell roms floating around but if you feel comfortable flashing, read the first few pages of the ATT flash thread, get comfortable with Odin, it was a bit of a different flashing experience for me coming from HTC phones, give it a day or two to make sure everything is fine with the hardware (I took my first tab back to Futureshop for exchange 24 hours later as it had/developed a burnt pixel right in the middle of the screen) and then flash away.
The Bell rom doesn't really offer anything that the Euro rom doesn't, whereas the Euro rom enables the phone features on your Tab, the speakerphone is excellent btw.
Quick question re your unmodified Tab, when you launch Swype does it have a Voice button on the keyboard, I cannot remember if it did or if I'm confusing it with the Swype kb on my Nexus, which does.
Thanks. I wanted to flash so I can get the arabic words to show properly, hoping we'd get an official firmware first. I bought mine from Bell.
In regards to Swype, there is a Voice/Mic button, but for some reason it's greyed out now, can't use it. Even though voice search works perfectly everywhere else.
What bell apps would you like to keep?
I see no reason to keep bell apps on the tab anyway - I have no PVR
So why would you want to flash it back?
Self Serve app is pretty cool app, but I think it downloaded the APK heh, but the reason is i'm just worried in case I need a working ROM to fallback to.
Care to point me to that Bell Self Serve APK? I flashed mine to Euro before I even tried that application.
Some version of the Bell firmware will show up on samfirmwares.com before long, once it gets out to the service centers which are usually their source for firmware binaries.
For instance, it was about ten days after the Bell Vibrant launched before any factory firmware showed up (and it was older, pre-release firmware), but the original "JG9" found on Bell units at launch day has never showed up (current JH2 is there though).
You can always fall back to the AT&T firmware, which is available just to get you up and running pretty close to stock again, but of course that might cause problems if you want to reflash it before sending it in for warranty.
Something else to keep in mind (but try not to abuse please) is the 30 day DOA period from Bell kind of covers your ass if you totally screw something up and brick it for real. Provided they have a replacement in stock.
Thanks for the info Croak. That was pretty helpful.
About the Self Serve app, I realized there was a link initially that took me to the market to download the app, http://www.appbrain.com/app/bell-self-serve/com.bellmo.selfserve, I'm not sure if this shows up for you. I'm still dabbling in adb, so I'm not sure how to get the apk off the device just yet :/
Note: The self serve app only works on 3G, not wifi. That would explain how it knows to my account info automatically.
I forgot ask something, in regards to the Market, will regional apps still show after flashing non-north american firmware? For example, the TD Canada Trust bank app. I remember I had issues with the MIUI on my N1 because it was a Chinese ROM. Eventually it was fixed though.

Hi xoltrix2000.
I also have the Bell SGT, but have no phone option what so ever :-(. Have the hardware appearently, but no way of using it. Are you able to use the phone option on your SGT? If so, how did you manage to get it?
Thanks for any info.
Since then I flashed the P1000JPJJ2 arabic firmware with no issues so far. It has the phone capabilities obviously just like any of the euro firmwares, tested it by using another phone line enabled sim card.
Thanks for your reply xoltrix2000. Good to know that it actually works. I'll have to read up a bit on the 'how to', get all the needed software and then try it myself.
I currently have a SGT with a custom JM6 and a modem which gives my full data and voice call capability. I posted instructions on this in the general area.

I hate to post a thread like this, but after searching and basically pulling my hair out, I've decided it was time.
Anyway, as title suggests I have an I9000m with the 2.2 UGJL2 *Typo in title, sorry!!*
Heres the problem with the phone...
Its a bell phone, unrooted or modified. Its running 2.2 JL2. When used with an bell SIM it will dial out and receive, receive texts, send them. However it won't receive picture messages, well it receives but just says downloading (and the plan does have it)
It also won't connect to the mobile network. If I manually set APN it does, but then its ability to call out is brutal for some reason. Also I threw my virgin mobile sim in it, set apn and it would go onto the internet no problem, but calling and text suffered big time.
It also seems to lag huge all the time, it'll freeze, you hit the center button and it just takes screen shots.
Its a refurb phone if that helps. Its actually my gfs phone, I picked her up a HTC incredible S... she says if we can fix the old one she kinda wants the samsung back.
Any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried a factory reset to see if that fixes the problems? That would be the best starting point.

Been done twice. Also have had two new sim cards installed aswell. I figured before I tried rooting it would be best to consult you guys. Is it possible that there's a hardware issue?
Thanks
Mike
Based on your description it doesn't sound like a hardware issue, but no way to know for sure.
I think your next best bet would be to try reflashing JL2 (or KC1 even) using Odin; as long as you can get to download mode via the 3 button combo. If you're still having problems after that then probably it is hardware.

Got er fixed. After I put the phone down and enjoyed a beer for a bit, I went back and basically wiped the phone clean, I think I did it 3 times in a row, using both the 3 button download mode one, and two different ones than can be accessed via the dialer. After doing that I retryed the APN settings again and ALAS it finally worked correctly. Its now connecting to the HSDPA and is also downloading MMS messages like it should. Its also yet to lag again. I'm assuming it was an app that was causing that aswell.
Regardless, the misses is happy, I might keep the Incredible S (currently have the HTC legend, lovely phone, but it does feel under powered compared to the I9000 and the Incredible S)
Sometimes I think a guy has gotta step back and relax for a minute lol!!
Thanks again
