Just been playing around with my HD2 and have taken a couple of snaps with my camera with automatic flash enabled. All of a sudden, it has become stuck on 'forced off' mode and when I press the flash icon on screen to change it it will not.
Any help would be appreciated
Shall we assume you already tried soft reset and hard reset?
Okay here's the latest. I put the phone on charge and once it was over 50% it worked again, weird?!

In this case, we clearly understand flashlight stop working on certain level of battery for prevent immediately discharge...
must be some way to change the minimum percentage left
so now we all know
Same here, but who the heck programmed that? Cause the flash is actually workin for instance with TorchButton but not with the Camera, thats very strange...
It's on the camera software so other software can still use it.
I found the battery capacity below 20% and camera flash light icon will be grey-out. seems like prevent battery drain speed I guess~~
Maybe a solution via Registry???
JK6 is what I have been looking for. Everything works in this build so far, the quadrant scores are not up to snuff yet, but the rom is snappy as hell. Still getting 60+ fps in Quake3. The issue about the call output not working when you call someone when connected to a headphone or tape adapter with no inline mic is gone. Like I said, when custom roms are built off this base, it will only get better. But if you were waiting for a great Froyo Rom, this is it.
Sorry wrong forum...
Like to to this as well. The battery life and signal strength on jk6 is excellent with out any tweaks. So far so good i feel with a few apk changes here and the there i could use this and wont feel like im missing anything as far as a smartphones goes. that being said i cant wait for tw, eugene or cm6 because this is a hobby
seems strange that when any of the developer starting to mess with the kernel, the battery life goes down. It happened with Cyanogen and it happened to Eugene as well. Anyone got any idea
Additionally, finally have true playlist support in the music player!
One downside is that the Option to enable/disable screen staying awake when connected to power is gone. It is permanently enabled.

Even though it is a downside, you can manually turn off the screen when you charge these power hunger beasts... All else is absofunkytootly amazing.
Yup. I created a word. Thats how much I'm excited about this rom.

Yes, battery was at 60% at 11pm last night!!! 60%!! Signal issues are also gone, GPS is working great, and I am actually getting a usable edge connection now (120kbps / 80kbps) when in areas of suck. Radio update has been incredible.
My screen still goes to sleep while charging. This is not a global bug, it's just you LOL

Have not tested the wifi calling, I keep it turned off because I was thinking it was a battery hog by definition. I will check on it and report back later today.
Anything else anyone wants tested let me know and Ill throw up the info.

I wasn't clear on that, when it is plugged in to the computer is stays on as it detects a USB connection. It's possible this only happens when usb debugging is enabled.
Plugged in to an AC adapter though display goes to sleep.
This ROM from the start seems MUCH more "snappier" than the JK2 Eugene put out.
But, I'm still on the fence regarding Battery Life on JK6 vs JK2.
I am testing, but I noticed From a full charge then unplugged overnight (7hours) with only Gmail+Contacts Synching, I went from 100-89% using JK6. When I was using JK2 I went from 100-98% overnight.
Some of the cause could have been from some of the additional bloatware I found running in "Services" on JK6 for me, under Application in Settings, like Slacker Radio, so I will compare again tonight.
On another note, I've also been comparing using Power Tutor, which isn't for Galaxy S phones at the moment, but it does give a lot more detail than the stock Battery Usage app. I found that with the screen off on JK6, there is only a 3-7mw drain. On JK2, that was more like 25mw.
With the screen on lowest brightness, (auto-brightness off). I saw around 400-425mw on both. It's interesting to note that the light sensor draws about 100mw, according to Power Tutor...
Again, all this is up for discussion, especially since Power Tutor is not optimized for the Galaxy S...

Just plugged into USB with debugging enabled and the screen goes off after the 30 seconds that it is set to. Not sure what would cause it to stay on if that is what you are seeing.
Might have to flash it as my first ROM if the wifi-calling is working no problem

There are still issues with Wifi Calling - I don't know about the battery drain piece, which a lot of people complain about, but The ringer still only rings on the earpiece, and not the main speaker , where a normal call would ring from. This makes it easy to miss a call, unless you're using vibrate.
Has anyone tested if the battery drain is better on JK6 with WiFi Calling?
I've made about 90 minutes of wi-fi calls today and a moderate amount of use of the phone display doing some other non-CPU intensive things.
59% after 6 hours of use.
Wi-Fi calling, other than the problem with the ringing, is working pretty good for me.
Battery use is a little bit better than stock JI6. It's not mind-boggling better, bit it is better.
My screen does not stay on while charging. I wish I had an option to do so. When I'm driving around So Cal I like to keep Google Maps up with my current location so I can monitor traffic problems, and there's no way to keep it constantly up on the display, or at least I haven't figured out how to do it yet. If anyone knows, let me know. I wish we still had the option to stay awake while on a charger.
There have been some posts by people which suggest this may be the final ROM. I'm pretty sure it's not. It's got some bugs here and there which I wouldn't expect to see on a final build, even from Samsung/T-Mobile. Nothing earth shattering, but enough to keep this from being the final release. That having been said, if you're currently running stock JI6, I see no reason why you shouldn't migrate to JK6. It's a definite improvement.

Interesting, I guess I'm just an exception
I love this rom, however, there are two things bugging me:
1) There is a slight lag in the app drawer when swiping left and right.
2) In Contacts, when you click on a name to call someone, there used to be the option to Call/Message someone. Now when you click on a contact, their contact card comes up with a big 'Message' button. While nothing horrible, it can be annoying.

Have you used Screebl before? I can't live without it.
My screen goes off too. It's dang annoying because I like to keep it on while I'm sitting at my desk using my pc.
If we can figure out why it still stays on for some people, maybe we could hack it into our phones? Is it a setting stored in a property file or a database somewhere?

What's the difference? What's new in this ROM?
It's just a US based firmware I think.
Its for Canadian users of I5800L. Probably Latin American countries too....
Anyone know if this rom is for the 3 galaxy i5800L of Brazil, if there is any blockage in this rom is yes or any other kind, since I'm using the European Roma JPF, and I'm scared to update this with my phone and brik
was very grateful for whoever can help
Thanks Clarkkov, the rom works perfectly, improved GPS, WIFI, the speed of app, and did not change my programs do not run a hard reset. The only catch is that for anyone in Brazil there is no language PT-PT or PT-BR.

Yes, the rom is fine , the menus are in english, but you can install swype beta for pt-pt

Hello, sorry is my question is trivial, but i tested many other roms but i can flash this one, afeter oding reboots my phone, there's a recovery mode screen saying E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 and i tried 3 times, same results, so i'd like ask how you flashed correctly, thank you very much
I used this ROM in my GT-i5800L (from Vivo In Brazil) and my experience was not one of the best.
For starters, lots of the bugs I have seen in other Froyo releases are still there:
The alarm clock bug (if say it is 7:00PM and you want to set an alarm clock for the next day at 8:00AM, it automatically sets it for 8:00AM on the current day of the week, in other words it sets the alarm for 6 days and 13 hours, rather than in 13 hours) this becomes a problem because you have to manually change the days.
During a call, if you use the sensor the screen turns off, but when the screen turns back on after you apart it from your ear, the notification bar lights up green. This isn't a problematic bug, but it just shows an unfinished look and feel.
Rooting is a problem (z4Root does not work) and after rooting with SuperOneClick, the phone becomes slow, and even after installing busybox, there are noticeable differences.
GPS still takes forever to get a lock, when it actually does.
The camera can take only one photo. If you try to take a second shot without first leaving the camera, 80% of the times, the camera will lock up, show a green screen and/or force close.
The supposedly improved memory management of Froyo also doesn't become apparent. The included task manager doesn't show you running first party programs, just third party... Although clearing the memory is a bad thing for Android (you should only kill active programs if they are really slowing the phone down. Killing programs kills the battery life), you cannot do a thing to control it. The only option you are left with is wiping Level 1 and Level 2 memory, killing ALL active programs. If you want to SELECT which programs you want to kill, they have to be third-party programs.
Downloadable task managers seem to have little effect, since Froyo changes the way you can kill apps belonging to Android (first-party).
Because of the poor management, listening through Bluetooth is impossible, since the audio fades every 10 - 20 seconds because the phone neeeds to think. I first thought it was an AudioTuning issue, but then I tried launching a heavy app while playing music via BT, and the problem becomes evident.
Also, whenever I connect to bluetooth in my car, my in call volume gets dropped down to 50%. That's okay, because there would be too much noise coming from the car speakers, but when I disconnect my bluetooth, I expect my volume to be taken back up where it originally was. Eclair did not solve this, Froyo promised to solve it, but in any of the firmwares I've tried, have they actually done anything about it.
I previously had installed JPF and JPM with similar issues as listed above. By installing an American version I thought battery life would be greater, since it wouldn't have to be searching for 3G on frequencies of 3G not used in American countries. Although my battery life was better than JPF and JPM, my original firmware (streamlined with only actual useful apps and etc. - if you want to take a look at streamlining look for my post Streamlined Apps for 2.1 / 2.2) works better than any other firmware I have used (including Kyrillos and Apocalypse).
I miss the GPS button on the notification drop bar, and the Google groups in my contacts. But rather than that, I see no way where Froyo beats Eclair...
Mind you I don't use tethering, VPN, do not play heavy games (as I feel consoles and computers are there for that kind of thing - I just have light games installed like Air Control, Zuma, Labyrinth, etc.. to pass the time), turn off my wifi and bluetooth when not in use, leave my brightness to a minimum unless I can't see (then i turn brightness up), but have 3G running all the time, bluetooth whenever I am in the car, and Wi-Fi whenever I need to use the web and am near a known wi-fi antenna.
Battery Life (with indications above):
I5800LVIJG7 (2.1 Vivo) - 60 Hours
I5800LVIJG8 (2.1 TICO?) - 56 Hours
I5800DTLKDA (2.2 Free) - 35 Hours
JPM /JPF / Kyrillos / Apocalypse / Lestatious - 18 to 25 Hours
Hope that helps...
My advice.. stick with what you have...
Good morning, I tried other rom tb's but found this the best, my battery lasts around 2 days using wifi and 3G, I liked this rom, my GPS was fast after I turn on my GPS the following, the squeegee GPSFIXS with 1 minute and it fixed my location from GPS point of 100% with 3 to 18 meters of accuracy.
I would like to return to the rom VIVO because I believe that new skirt rom soon
I Flashed this rom, but the apks: gpssetup2 and fmradio aren't in the rom.
I copied fmradio.apk from I5800XXJPS and worked, but the gpssetup.apk didn't work. Because this my GPS don't work.
Anyone help me to solve my GPS problem in this rom?
First the tip: Don't use the "Show Station ID" option, it causes a massive battery usage.
Here are some numbers, with it turned on 4 hours of uninterrupted radio listening drains 36% of my battery. With it turned off the same 4 hours only drains 20% of my battery.
This is caused because with it turned on the phone never goes to sleep when the screen is off. When it is off the phone actually goes into deep sleep will still playing music which causes the drastic difference.
My numbers are based on 40 hours a week listening for 5 months of Station ID being turned on without thinking about it and getting a consistent 36%/4hr daily
Then I did my only factory reset when going to a ICS rom a couple weeks ago and not thinking to set it I started only losing 20%/4hr and noticed I was spending time in deep sleep.
It's great leaving work after a 8 hour day with a extra ~30% battery then I have been used to.
Actually that's not an accurate comparison seeing that you've switched roms.
Try to compare it now on your new rom so that the comparison is done on same roms.
But thanks for the info anyway.
I think this may be due to the HUGE number of messages written to logs when RDS is enabled. I see this with my FM app using the RDS in my app's Samsung FM API mode, and there's not too much I can do about it in that mode.
====
BTW, I very much need people with S2's to help me get my app working on stock or stock derived ROMs on which the stock FM app works. It works fine on Galaxy S for a while and probably just needs a tweak or 2. See my post here and respond via PM or on my thread, since it's Off Topic to this thread.
Except that... perhaps my app can use less power when in background or screen offm since it can turn the RDS off then.

I did a quick 1 hour test with it on and the numbers still match up. My phone lost 9/hr which does equal 36/4hr.

I'll run a test on my Galaxy S and I'd bet the same thing happens. I think a dozen or more log messages every second can do the battery in faster.
For you or anyone else looking to test my app, there's not much to it:
Feb 26 release on the Market: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mikersmicros.fm
Possibly better Feb 28 release: http://www.mediafire.com/file/i5654nm9vzd9d9m/Spirit_FM_Radio_v120228.apk
Just ensure a wired headset is plugged in, install the app and run. If you are rooted you should deny SU when it starts. At the Intro screen, press "Disable".
Hopefully, it will "just work" at that point.
NOTE: I just realized now that if you give my app SU, it will not try the Samsung FM API, it will go straight to the low level mode which gives no audio on the GS2. So set Menu->Settings->Debug->FM API to "OEM Proprietary" to force use of the Samsung FM API. If this API fails, I think the app will fall back to the low level mode. That can be prevented by setting Debug->FM Chip to "TI" and if the OEM API fails, then power up will fail.
Working or not, please give SU to my app, restart the app and send me a debug log with Menu->Help->EM Logs. After a few seconds. enter "GS2" and/or any useful phone or ROM etc. information in the email text and press send.
Remember, this test request is for stock or stock derived ROMs that can run the stock FM app only.
My app has been running in a "low level device driver mode" for over 6 months now on rooted GS2s, but without audio, except I think on the MIUI ROM which supports the CyananogenMod audio method. I need no testing for this mode, unless you know how to enable the FM audio or want to try the different Audio Methods to see if any magically work.
hello, I would like to know if I'm alone on this issue, right now I'm running stock 2.3.6 on my i9100 and I have found an issue.
When Power saving mode is activated (the default one), if I open the camera app and turn off the screen for 1 minute, the phone dies and I have to reset it to make it work again.
Some friends told me that on ICS it doesn't happen so I was wondering if I got a faulty unit or this OS has this bug.
I would like some feedback from you guys with gingerbread onboard, thanks.

This has never happened to me, but maybe try to turn off the device and take the battery out, leave it for a minute and reinsert the battery and restart. Then try to reproduce the problem.
Never happened to me or even heard of it
Sent from my GT-I9100
have you tried to see if this bug would occur without power saver mode on?,i never had this issue before nor heard of it
thanks everyone for your answers and concerns, the problem has been isolated:
It was a bug caused by a underclock that I did have that so far only occurs on the circumstances that I had on my phone.
When your phone turns off the screen, it will go to sleep mode or deep sleep mode depending on the running apps you have in that moment, these modes allow the CPU to low the frequencies (CPU Clock) in order to preserve battery life.
Comes to public interest that when using the camera app, the phone uses a high frequency clock to process photos and videos taken with the camera.
As because I did have a custom kernel that tweaks the CPU in order to gain more battery life, when battery saver option (which slow the max freq. clock of the CPU) was ON in my phone, the phone couldn't jump directly from sleep mode to max freq mode to keep camera app running and the CPU kept "slept"
If serves as interest of anyone, the kernel I was using was Siyah Kernel (don't remember which version, just check out the date this thread was posted and compare it with siyah kernel log to know by that date which was).
