Why?

because then we will have an official froyo for our phones lol...if a galaxy s official version comes out for hte US, it means captivate isnt too far behind

just tried and no luck yet

I would quite like to flash the official one for my Galaxy S on 3...currently running JPM with Voodoo pre6 flashed via ODIN. How would I go about getting back the stock firmware so that I can update via KIES?

I was speaking to my brother today, we both have Galaxy's on T-Mobile but he lost his and had to claim another through insurance. He got it about 4 days ago and he has said his is running JP2 Froyo, this is how the phone was released from T-Mobile so Froyo can't be that far behind for us all now

I hate to burst your bubble but froyo is not that good. I upgraded to it and could only use it for 4 hours then downgraded back to eclair. I can;t stand my phone lagging and stuttering.

It is more likely that you missed a step or two. So far, everyone seems to report improved performance varying from marginal to great. Try doing factory reset...as that seems to be standard procedure to go through after flashing a new firmware.

anyone had this yet

Nope , Still waiting for it ...

Not really, i had 3 goes before i decided to give up and followed the guides to the letter (inlcuding a factory reset before and after)
It is just that comparing to JM9 with voodoo, JPO is not that efficient.
The best results I got was with Doc's JPO Rom with ext4 lag fix, but battery performance was not that good (0.6% per hour idle vs 0.1% per hour on JM9) so I reverted back to JM9
I do have about 120 apps though so this may be affecting performance.

just phoned 3 uk and there sending me a direct download because i carnt see it in kies and its showing up on the three site as avaivable now. so lets see then if it arrives and i can use it. lol

cant see anything on the 3 website.do you have the link ?

Wifi Dropping =[

Hey guys. I have noticed ever since i've gotten my Atrix that the wifi is always getting dropped when im inside a bedroom or some 20 ft away from the router. At first i thought it might have been just my router having issues but my laptop never experienced any wifi droppage like that though. The only times i don't get dropped signals are when im actually right infront of my router
I've read that sim-unlocked devices may experience this issue but mine isn't, or at least i don't think it is. I bought it from n AT&T store and im pretty sure they wouldn't sell an unlocked device, ever...
So my question is then, has anyone found a solution to this? I mean it's starting to become a real big hassle having to wait for my connection to come back up so i can continue using my phone
Even if you don't have a solution, please post here if you are also having the same issues because i'd like to know if its just my phone thats defective or not. My brother also bought an Atrix lest than a month ago and its having the same issue so i have no clue if either both our devices are defective or if its a general issues most users are having, cause if so, i think Atrix users should either get a refund or at least an update to fix this issue.

I have the same exact issue on my Bell atrix.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App

Same here as well.
No issues with previous devices or the 9700, Torch, Captivate or iPhone that others in the household use or my laptop come to that. Just the Atrix.
Mine is just rooted and currently running GreyBlur but not unlocked.
Just down loaded WiFi Analyzer from the Market to see if that can shed light on the issue.

make sure that you are not on a battary save or custom battary mode, cuz it's droping the wifi connection every time the phone goes to sleep mode.

O thx was trying to figure it out
Sent From My Gibgerblurred Phone

by default wifi goes to sleep as soon as the display goes off. you need to get into advanced wifi settings (wifi settings->menu->advanced) and change sleep policy to never

Now that is a useful bit of info
Thankyou !

Its not the sleep policy all tho that'll help the majority of ppl here. Mine drops during certain load points like getting updates from market or refreshing xda... Now to be honest after flashing the telstra rom it has disappeared.
Hopefully that little bit of code that capped our atrix was the culprit and an update will fix that bad boy
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App

Yeah I've always had my phone set to performance mode and had the wifi sleep policy always set to never. But still the problem persists
But I guess ill try out the 1.4.2 SBC since that sewed to remedy the problem for one user. Nit sure if it'll work for me though cause I'm w att and that SBF seems to be for Bell Atrixs.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App

Wifi & GPS signal on my phone just sucks, so I requested a new device from ATT warranty/exchange department. It should be here next week. I hoped we would get an update to address this yesterday, but I only know of 2-3 people receiving an update this week.

I have the same problem wifi drops out alot and I have it set to never sleep and performance mode but yet it drops all the time!
By the way DO NOT FLASH THE BELL SBF ON AN ATT DEVICE OR YOU WILL BRICK FOR SURE!

I really hope you att guys can get hspa unlocked similar to the telstra sbf. It has completely changed my phone.

I'm another one with wifi dropping even with the right configuration. Is an update the only hope to get a decent wifi?

Yep, i have this problem as well. Haven't seen this on LG Optimus X2, also i've got SE Mini X10 for my mom a few days ago and it's behaves much better in this respect, does not drops wi-fi at all. My Atrix drops wi-fi every 10-15 minutes when in the far room, other android phones, nokia phones, laptops and netbooks does not drop connection in the same place, so it's certainly Atrix problem. Let's hope the fix will come

Am I missing something? I don't think the Bell Atrix has its SBF release. Are you thinking of the Telstra Atrix's SBF?
I found this app called Wifi fixer: https://market.android.com/details?id=org.wahtod.wififixer
Has anyone tried this?
I've noticed my Wifi dropping after 10-20 minutes of being used. It's very annoying. Bell Atrix with sim unlock and rooted

LOL, no. I wish that were the case cause if so, it wouldn't drop the connection when i have it on the table and just play around with it =/

This is why I returned my atrix. I was hoping one of the updates fixed it as I was considering picking the phone back up.

To be honest the updates did very little to fix anything... The HSPA+ speeds are dismal and you can barely tell any difference between your previous speeds and new speeds if you're in a 4G area but one thing for sure that the updates did do was, not surprisingly, unrooted us =]
And for us lucky ones with Atrices (same plurality as matrices?) that have wifi issues, Moto was kind enough to not fix this issues which was most likely software and not hardware, as they rolled out 2 OTA's in nice timely fashions!

GS2 On ATT Data Signal Question

Got the GS2 yesterday and I've been traveling all around the country(USA) today and no matter where I am my data connection keeps going back and forth from 3G to H to H+ every few seconds.
Is this normal? It seems to be working data wise, I have the network set to Auto in setting.
Anyone having this issue?
Thanks
ps , new to the site so sorry if this has been discussed

This is normal for the Galaxy S2. It should be H or H+ when it is either downloading or uploading data. It should revert to 3G when not consuming data.

Ok good info thanks.
Also what's the latest FW for it, I have XWKE7.
thx

You have the latest.

Sorry if this is off topic, but what download/upload speeds are you guys getting when on ATT H+?
Edited for carrier clarification.

The fastest I had was 6.3dl. I never get above 2 on the up. Usually I stay around 3.5-4 up =, and 1.2-1.5 down.

Thanks. I have an Atrix now, and it stays about the same on the dl, but never gets above 1.2 on the up here in Orlando.
Been considering an SGS2...just doing some research on it.
Again, much appreciated on the response.

Nah, there are several newer versions out when you consider the states do not have any official firmware release or csc. I would go KF2 as most of those roms do a little better on battery than the KE7 versions did.

KE7 canceled in Netherlands

Hi,
I don't know wether there's a problem with the KE7 update or wether there's a problem at Samsung NL but the KE7 update for dutch devices has been canceled.
http://twitter.com/#!/SamsungMobileNL/status/80985573371813889
This is rather strange because the update is being actively rolled out all around the globe except for NL.

There is a good reason it's been pulled.

Well that's strange because the KE7 update is still being distributed in other countries. If there are problems with it one would expect Samsung to pull the update entirely from all countries.

I don't think it's because of an expected 2.3.4 update. This issue has been living for a few weeks now and only yesterday Samsung NL confirmed it was cancelled. Before that they insisted KE7 could be downloaded through Kies.
I don't think Samsung NL has any say over when firmware updates get released. Either that or there was a huge miscommunication.

It could be a specific network problem, eg last month the vodaphone network made many htc phones reboot all the time or a while ago when an apple update made iphones with certain dutch sims crash

Well... if i could only get KE3 or something in between KE2 and KE7!!
Here in Denmark, we are somehow forgotten - we are still running on KE2 and some of the old updates of the camera...
Also - no NFC-version of SGS2 for our country, as the Nexus 2 has sold badly (because of the LCD-screen installed opposed to the AMOLED, but still full price), and because of NFC is non-existent here (we have our own national travellers-card, which is very close to NFC-technology).
But the GT-i9100 has sold in great numbers, and is almost sold out anywere. So it seems odd to be left in the cold, when it comes to new updates...

No country has NFC. Google has announced they will introduce a new service which will require a special simcard to use. It would be unsensible to put NFC in the device when the standard isn't there yet and your NFC is goign to be useless down the road.

Also running KE2 on my NL imported SGS2.
I checked http://twitter.com/#!/SamsungMobileNL if they gave some more info but no reason is mentioned why they pulled it back.

I'm on the Spanish generic FOP sales code. They were nice enough to give us KE2. You could probably debrand to FOP, still keeping it region-specific but maybe getting slightly quicker updates.

I still prefer something more stable above something with issues , even when some things get upgraded I am sure Samsung knows what it is doing.
Since you have a carrier provided phone you are more or less more screwed than the people who have a carrier free unlocked phone.
Anyway nothing we can do but wait and inform each other , it's good to know there are still people without the updates ^^

Of course there are. Only the UK and India did get official KE7/KE8 updates through KIES. Maybe I forgot one or two countries, but most countries haven't released any official updates after KE2 yet. It seems that everyone feels that they're left out or something but that's clearly not what's happening here.

Lol. Yeah, I wasn't ready to pay 650 euros for the phone I got it on contract, resigning for a year, and 280 euros. Not bad. If I ever want to, I can debrand and get it as fast as you guys ^^ But I'm not interested in doing that at the moment. Not even rooting! My phone is fantastic. I have no issues apart from the wifi sharing / battery life debacle, but not even your KF1 fixes that at the moment! So I'm good for the time being hehe.
I absolutely love this phone. I see near 0 drawbacks (battery life being an exception, but it doesn't bother me TOO much. I get about 24 hours, maybe a little less usage).
Regardless, it's still a very new phone. Hopefully Samsung will being to push out their monthly updates soon. hehe.

new update today (8/29)

Got a new update today. N950USQS5CRG9. August security patch, not sure what else. Verizon site doesn't have anything and the link on the update wasn't playing nice either.

Try using the N950USQU5CRH6, you'll need to download and flash it yourself.. I'm using that and I get close to 1 hour for every 10% of battery life I'm also using package disabler pro to.

My Bat drained to 1% just before the update so I chalked up the poor Bat performance to me letting it drain to far. So thats kinda good news to me cause some way or another Ill fix that.
