** MODS can you please move this thread to the Q&A section please?**
Hi everyone,
I've been having a bit of a problem since I've updated my phone to Froyo. I'm having the problem where I can use my camera w/out a problem but the minute I switch over to the video recording mode, everything locks up and the phone resets on me. Has anyone encounter this issue before and if so what was the remedy. I did try to revert back to the latest 2.1 and updated to 2.2 but it still was the same problem. Thanks in advance for your time and input.
Below is a quick background on my N1:
-Unlocked boot loader and rooted the phone.
-Did run a custom rom ( before 2.2) at one point but went back to the stock rom
- No Radio has been updated from the upgrades I've done (not that i'm aware of).
- Baseband version 32.24.00.22U_4.03.00.21_2
- Kernel Version - 2.6.32.9-27227-g3c98b0d andriod [email protected]#1
- Build # FRF91
Been covered numerous times, you need to upgrade the radio.
Update to the froyo radio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello!
Previously (on stock 2.1.1.A.0.6 russian ROM) my market updated by itself to the 2.3 version when I downloaded something from it (2.2 is the green one, 2.3 - same but with smaller font in descriptions etc.). I've destroyed my stock rom today and installed new and fresh ROM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=941458
But now my market didn't updated automatically for 5 hours (still looks like as the old one) even when I downloaded all the apps I wanted.
Is there a way to force-update it?

I dont want to update it because iys not working.
Sent from my E15i using XDA App
So what did you do to prevent the update?
edit: OK solved - found 2.3.2 .apk for HVGA devices, works on x8 perfectly.
Hi all.
I have been waiting for the official Froyo update for G3 since last year August. I haven't tinkered with my phone at all and it is the stock 2.1 FW available by default in India (DDJG5).
However since the DDJP2 has been released, i have read forums with people having endless issues with this build. (Which is really disappointing from Samsung considering they made us wait so long).
So I have finally decided to flash froyo as i don't think Samsung will bother to provide a fix for the JP2.
And i wanted to know which stock ROM is the best, with least number of issues - JP2, JPF or JPM??
Also will i have any issues with network connectivity if i am flashing a ROM from a country other than India?
It would be great if we could also have a comparison of the custom ROMs available. (From what i have read so far Kyrillos seems the best IMO, but i am not too confident with flashing and partitioning as i have never done it before)
Well, you can only try for yourself. One thing is certain though, you can forget JPF. It's old and outdated.
I haven't tried JP2, but JPM in my opinion is the best froyo rom out there. Haven't had a single problem with it, and battery lasts very long. All major custom ROMs are based on JPM, too.

Thanks for the input.
I see you are using Kyrillos 4.1. Can i flash it over JPM if i consider a change later? Or do i have to flash JPF first and then Kyrillos? Also is it required to partition the sdcard for Kyrillos or can i just flash it and it will work fine?
yes you can flash it, and no, I don't think it's necessary to partition your sdcard
Thanks again. And one more question. I have seen a few versions of JPM floating around. Some with bootloaders, some without them, some say it is onepackage, etc etc. I don't really understand fully what they all mean by that, so could anyone point me to the latest JPM build, (with the least possibility of getting my phone bricked).
If it reads JPM then It's the latest build, always. There might be different ways to flash them (it can be a one package or in parts, as you said). So yeah doesn't matter, but if your JPM comes in parts, don't flash the bootloader. The only way to brick your phone during flashing is if you're flashing the bootloader and then lose USB connection for a reason or another.
As for partitioning sdcard.. I think you need to do it in Kyrillos. At least I did, as it showed me 0kb as internal memory. Kyrillos (and\or his thread?) can confirm this.
Oh and I cannot remember what ROM I flashed before flashing kyrillos, but I've seen the man himself suggesting people to flash JPF first if anything goes wrong or the phone doesn't boot. And I this was what I had to do to get Kyrillos' ROM to boot
I was using stock eclair 2.1 DDJG6 in India while other was flashing custom rom all around. I had a facination with live wallpapers so i rooted my phone and used it. Then i got offcial update directly from kies. Probably the first one in India. After checking it out i figured several bugs such as the youtube,camera,music player,stock browser. So i was wondering to take a risk and flash my phone confused betwwen JPM Stock and Krillos 4.1. Then i plucked up the courage an then flashed it with non overclocked version without partitioning my card directly from DDJP2 to krillos 4.1. Its pretty good atleast better than so called OFFICIAL FROYO DDJP2 we were all eagerly waiting for. **** YOU SAMSUNG.
Just saw on Samfirmware.com:
Europe releases XWJPE(March 30) and XWJPF(April 5) are they improvements on the XXJPM (Feb)...
It would be great to have all the issues and advantages of the latest FW in a tabulated format won't it? Would sure help a lot of people in deciding.
@ayan - How is the Kyrillos working out for you?, facing any issues in usage? Just flashed it using Odin with the tar file and the ops file?
I haven't tested these new roms out, but they most likely wouldn't release 'em if there was no improvements.
Oh and XXJPF is the outdated one I was talking about, this ROM is XWJPF, which as you said, is newer then JPM.
thanks
thanks Nice idea !!! ^^

Yes i just thought its better to do that way. And as off now Kyrillos is good. But the camera bug is still there. I dont know. I am thinking to trying the new firmware XWJPF . Lets c how it works.
I just flashed JPM build from samfirmware.com and it is root by default. Some issues i am having:
1. GO Launcher Ex keeps restarting 90% of the time i hit the home button.
2. Not able to log into facebook and twitter account sync, however facebook and twitter individual apps are working.
3. The sizes of most apps in the App Management list is shown to be below or around 1mb.
4. GPS signal not locking on.
If anyone else is also having these issues or can remedy them please tell me.

Problems 1,2,4 resolved after a few restarts. No. 3 still persists (although one can easily live without a fix for this ).
Really love the JPM rom... No real issues as of yet ...
I also have that app size thing and think it as a bug that I can live with.. it also exists in other ROMs. My theory is that the system has moved it to external storage and for some reason reading it as if it was installed on internal storage, and reads that it takes 0mb of phone's memory. I could be wrong, though.
Hope that wasn't too messy explanation
One bug i noticed just now ... Wifi takes too long to switch on and most of the times gives error. Only switches on after 3-4 continuous tries. Is anyone else experiencing the same??
This also makes me ask a question, can my G3 work on a wifi created by my laptop? if so, then how? Because i have an internet connection through a lan cable, and would like to utilise it on the phone to save up on the 3G data charges.
I like JPM IT is stable
hello dude, sometimes i use the camera take photo and the system well crash...

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038701
and i have installed the latest combradio is
EVO_Radio_2.15.00.05.02_WiMAX_27243_PRI_2.15_003
somebody know??...help...
All I know is I flashed the rooted rom and my video camera would force close every time I tried to use it. I was still on the froyo radios.
i nandroided back to old rom. everything works on it.
So I don't have to start a new thread, I am running the above rom -- I came from the stock 3.70.651.1 deodexed rom. In the 3.70.651.1 rom, the number for the battery life overlapped the green indicator at the top. Is there an easy way to get this number back up there in the new rom?
Thanks for any help.
ive just installed vegacomb coming from Corvus5 and when it comes on i get a message about if ive paid for this rom ive been robbed, ive installed the 9n version over v1 and v2 modded stock and am wondering if this is normal i havent as far as i know installed any updates on the base vegacomb. Vegacomb seems to be running fine but this message is like a nag screen is it normal and if its not how do i remove it there seems to be so many versions have i got the wrong one or do i need to do some other flash. Im going to install Honeyice over the top as that includes all updates and hope this fixes the issues.
