Firmware from around the world

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!

[Q] GPS only works randomly?!

Hey guys,
I have discovered a strange behaving of the GPS on my Galaxy 3. I'm running the CM 7.2 alpha 8 with the G3Mod kernel (by Arakmar) + ICS Look (but I don't think that this theme is causing the problem). And I have a modded gps.conf, I can upload it, if it's needed.
My GPS works great, if it works. While chilling on a window bench it catches up to 10 satellites, and 6-7 with fix. But this only happens sometimes. About 4 of 5 times I try locating myself, no satellite is found, even after 5 minutes. But if one satellite is found (after restarting GPS and GPS-App: GPS Test or GPS-Status), it locates me very clear after 60-90 seconds.
I tried this maybe 15 times the last hours (weather is ok for GPS). I just got 3-4 fixes in the hole time. I rebooted after some tries and updated AGPS-Data a few times.
I wouldn't say, that this is a hardware problem because when it fixes, it fixes nearly perfect. :/
Does anybody else have this behavior with his/her Galaxy 3? Can anyone tell me, what's wrong, or/and how I can fix this?
Thx, and sorry for my bad english

Try to restart GPS/AGPS service and turn on/off the airplane mode.
Also it's helps to take off the battery for several seconds on some phones =)

I use Runtastic Pro on an almost-daily basis and haven't had any issues with the GPS at all. When I've needed it, Google Maps has been pretty flawless as well.
try GPS test. On a cloudy weather my MXP seems to have trouble with the GPS. And this started to happen when I've removed few motorola apks from the system
I'm having GPS gliteches as well, it started with the 6.0 or 6.0.1 Update...
My XT1563 seems to have GPS issue as well. If I don't use GPS for a few days then the GPS is very spotty, can only get 5-6 fixes at most, and the signal would be lost every minute or so. But after using the GPS for about 20-30 minutes then it becomes very stable. I'm not sure what's going on.
today i made this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239713 and locked satellites in secs.don't know if fastergps app makes the same and didn't test it much time to see if signal is stable...

GPS Problems

Hi there my GPS was very quick under Kitkat with immediate fix and perfect compass. Under Stock Lollipop it still worked well enough. Since I use [5.0.2][D802] Google Edition 1.5 my compass doesn't work anymore and GPS doesn't fix at all or takes 10 minutes shows wrong location and looses signal again
I don't know whether the problem is the ROM or that my phone fell down hundreds of times.
Anyway I already tried the apps fasterGPS, gpsStatus and TopNTP without success and did the cardboard mod hardware wise.
Please help I want to play Pokemon Go

EXTREMELY poor GPS signal

Anybody else experiencing this with China Rom?
It's so bad that anywhere I open the Google maps app and start Navigating it stays stuck at the same location.
I just got the phone a few days ago, and I still have about 12 days of waiting time for bootloader unlocking. I'm very frustrated with the CH Rom, my samsung wearable app does not start, keyboard sucks, lots of bloatware that cant be removed, etc.
