alarm does not work - Galaxy S I9000 General

I got an i9000 recently but found the alarm not working.
I set an alarm yesterday but did not work this morning; then I tried to set another alarm for one minute later, it worked; but then I tried to set another one for 15 minutes later, this one did not work.
I searched the internet and found that this might be due to setting the time to automatic network value. is this the case?
Thanks a lot.

it is fixed in jvr =)

my version is JVQ(XEU), but kies showing this is the lastest software.

check here how to upgrade to jvr -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1139050

If it's a new phone just try taking it back to samsung if you can't or not confident on flashing jvr
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

its a bug of pre jvr firmwares
taking it to samsung will not solve the issue

thanks a lot, but since I do not really want to flash the phone, I guess I would just download an alarm software from market for now. Will this JVR firmware be available through kies later?

for the time being only for switzerland

thanks a lot for your prompt reply. I also found another problem which is that I can read chinese sms but when I send chinese sms (by google pinyin input) the receiver could not read(all question marks). Is that also a firmware problem (regarding text support)?

do not know mate

Serious bug: auto reboot using camera

Hi guys!
I'm experiencing a serious problem with my X10: Using the stock camera app causes (50% and more of times) a reboot of the device
I'm still stuck with the R1FA016 firmware (Spanish, Movistar) and i thougt this could be the problem since nobody seems to have a so bad experience
Today i tried the Vignette app on the market and the bug is still there... what could be the problem?
Thank you.

I know it is painful, but have you tried formatting the device (restore factory settings)?
mmmm... i was thinking about it... do you think it could be a solution?

If you're using a task killer, check out you are not killing any camera app.
No i'm not killing camera app... (anyway, atk is set to kill apps every half hour)
I just formatted the phone and the bug seems to be still here... rebooting occours even if, in Mediascape i try to view taked photos!!!

Then, try one more thing: uninstall ATK, reboot the phone and let it handle the RAM as it is supposed to.
Perhaps ATK is the culprit! I know it caused me a great deal of problems in the past, until I finally realised that task managers do more harm than good on android operating systems.
@sleepyManX1
the update is out already try OTA update......
I also tried to insert photo app and some services (such as facerecognition) in atk ingore list... the bug is still here
So i'm trying this way: disable atk from autostart...

I've tried a lot of task killers/managers and at the end something started not to work properly. Since i don't use them everything is always ok! I recommend not to use them!!
Hi guys!
Any suggestion about this issue?
(I restored factory settings again and did not install any task manager/killer... still the bug is here )
Try to re-install firmaware using SEUS Wish you all the best
Yes... seems to be the only way... and i think i will flash the phone with a generic italian firmware... maybe the problem is in the movistar brand...
I just need a windows pc... (i've a ppc ibook... so no virtualization possible!)

I also have this problem with my desire, apparently after a search in XDA, problem exists in Nexus one (which is like HTC desire anyway) and HTC G1, G2.
seems no solution yet, I flashed my phone and installed the latest radio and a custom rom, still no solution.
hope someone can fix it
sleepyman x1 i too am on the same firmware as u and get the exact same problem im on three network uk, iv tried everything and nothing seems to solve it,,,, the only thing iv found that helps the camera bot up next time is when finished using the camera is to press the back button to exit camera mode and not to use the home button,
hope this is some help to you,
any updates of this would be great, the update doesnt seem to be there for my reigon yet, ( According to SE anyway ) they pretty much told me to sit tight and wait for he 2.1 in the last 4 mths of this yr

I'll try this... but i'm really going to flash my x10 with a generic or an italian firmaware.
Thank you.
PS. Just today forced SEUS to reinstall my original firmware and the bug is still here... in the next days i'll try with an X10i_Generic_Italian (X10i_Custom_IT_Release_R2BA026)...
Let me kno how u get on bud. ?? Would like to see the out come

Be sure that i'll keep you informed
I also have "reboot" problem, but my phone reboots random - sometimes when I use Google Maps, sometimes when finish phone call, even sometimes when the phone is idle. I tried factory reset several times, updated to latest firmware (currently R2BA026) but no luck.
These days I will go to my local SE support center, I have no choice ...

My $700 smartphone can't keep track of time

Hello good people
I've had my I9000 for a couple of weeks now, and recently flashed it to JP3
At the version screen it says exactly:
PDA: I9000XXJP3
Phone: I9000XXJF5
CSC: Unknown
Build info: 2010, 07
The issue is that my phone follows a time on it's own. A couple minutes ago I set the time to 01:40. It's now 02:10, but my phone shows 02:05. After a few hours I suddenly find it 30+ minutes behind...
Here's the kicker though, I flashed it to JP3 to improve performance, but the damn clock is lagging. So I've voided the warranty, and my top of the line 1ghz smartphone can't even keep show me the right time.
Please.... help, I'm begging...
Go settings --> Date and Time. If automatic is ticked then untick it and set the time manually.
It's unticked, and I've manually set the time

Yes, I've tried that too. When I set it to "automatic" and connect to the internet, the time doesn't correct itself, or even change. I've tried giving it some time, but it doesn't sync. Same issue, same lag. Even if it did fix, it would just be temporarily. I'd like to have it show time accurately even when it doesn't have access to the internet.
flash a new firmware, you can always go back to your old firmware anyway if you have to return it.
(i assume it was working fine before flashing)

I'll try flashing to JP2, jp3 has given me nothing but trouble.
Do I just follow the same procedure or is there another way of downgrading to a previous firmware?
Most of the previous firmwares can be gotten from Samsung-Firmwares website.
JG5 was a good stable version.
JM2 is the next best thing.
Sheesh, just flash back (JM2 or JG5)...
You flashed some ultra beta/alpha firmware and now complain the phone isn't working properly? Not really honest.
From what ive been reading this is an issue with JP3, it really bugs me why such issues still exist these days, my Nokia 5800 also had an alarm bug.. its not really the same issue but a related one.

It is a beta (if that, perhaps even alpha) release. Quit whining about it, you haven't voided your warranty because there is no evidence of you ever doing something to it. If you flash an older firmware to it there is no history of different firmwares that have been installed.
BTW, I'm on jp3 and have no such issue with automatic time adjustment.
I'm on the stock firmware and have the same issue. The other problem with this is that the alarm not always going off! So I have to use the alarm in my iPhone!!! How ridiculous is that?!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
The android 2.2 firmwares do definitely lose track of time. Probably a broken network time implementation (time for phones come from your carrier's atomic clock) that doesn't sync properly or something.
Android 2.1 firmwares don't have this problem.

During the time in question, if you ever used a task killer, make sure you the alarm clock on the ignore list.
I initially had a problem, I think only once but maybe twice, where the alarm didn't go off. As far as I could tell, I think I used a task killer and killed the alarm clock, so since then I've had it on the ignore list and haven't had any issues. If you think this might be the issue, give it a week long test using dual alarm clocks.

Are you using a custom lockscreen? I found that the ICE lockscreen caused that issue for me. But otherwise, I've been using JG5/Modaco for a long time now, am using the standard lockscreen, and been using the alarm twice a day for 3 days now, and it's always gone off..
And I don't use task killers, but alovell83 is probably correct

That, and generally, they don't care (unless you burnt out your CPU doing stupid stuff like overclocking, but most CPU's have thermal controls these days to help prevent that). But be aware, that if it is strictly a software issue, regardless of whether they care or not, you will possibly be charged (because no fault found), which is what happens with Apple.
That being said, just in case, I would suggest flashing back to the original firmware if there is an issue anyway, because there is subtle differences between many of the firmwares (and it's difficult to differentiate between beta and final ones)

I do have a task killer and I have the clock/alarm on ignore list. But it didn't help at all. In the evening I restarted the phone and didn't use the task killer and in the morning the alarm didn't go off.

No, I don't have a custom lock screen, just the stock one.
I am really starting to think about this phone as piece of junk. The Froyo update propably will fix some issues, but it will definetaly bring a lot of new ones....

Perhaps it's best if you post a list of apps you jhave installed (maybe using Appbrain).
I've been using my alarm to remind me to take the medicine for my ear-infection, and it's been fine, and perfectly reliable.

Just to let you know, i dont have an SGS yet. ETA for those handsets in my country is still late august to late september or even first week october
Excuse me but this, as already have been said, is a known issue with JP3 firmware and there is a fix for that. If you read through the forum you'll find the answer.
The "solution" is to root your phone and then install clock sync, to sync every few hours...

UK succesful update through kies hack.

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.

how I've searched the forums but can only find the registry hack for the i9000m
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 ?
Tnx

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!)

Kies acting really weard this morning. Bell Canada

Hay all. So, I got up this morning and like I do every morning and plugged my phone into my PC to see if there is any upgrades available yet. Usually everything goes smooth without a hitch. This morning, when I tried, Kies connects to phone no problem, but yet when i check for firmware upgrades, the firmware upgrade window pops up, and is completely blank for 5 or 10 seconds (sometimes more, sometimes its instantaneous ) then a messages comes up saying 'no response from server, check your internet connection and try again". I kept trying and trying, and then FINALLY after an hour or so, it said "this devices version cannot be updated." WTF?!?!
I am running the latest version of Kies 10103.100 and usually it just says there is no updates available at this time or whatever it says..
Any ideas?? Maybe Froyo is being uploaded?!?! Anybody else suddenly have the same problem?
I'm in Canada, and completely 100% stock. JH2 2.1
EDIT: okay, I just tried again, and now I'm back to the Latest version already installed on this device... Crap.. I was hoping it was a good sign that Froyo was on it's way like someone said in another thread that claimed he worked for Bell and the update would be rolled out on the 15TH. Suppose, the day isn't over yet..
yeah i just got the cannot connect to server message as well earlier. I was hoping they are taking down the server so they can roll out the 2.2 but i guess i was wrong. lol oh well, still hoping it'll come later today.

Google IO Tab 10.1 Time Issue (Fix include)

Hey guys,
So as an attendee to IO, I got a 10.1 tab; only problem is it was using the European time zone and for whatever reason used my google account settings which told it to automatically pull down the time from the servers (which would then report an incorrect time due to the incorrect time zone). I guess there's some kind of bug in the settings for the tab as it's missing the option to turn off automatic time, so I was left with a tab that had the incorrect time and could not be set.
So I wrote an android app that manually over-rides the automatic time setting, and it worked like a charm. If anyone else out there is having this issue, I have an apk file on hand that you can use to unlock your tab's time. Just make a post here and I'll try and get back to you asap.
I'd love to get that .apk. Thanks for your work!
Thanks for the fix. I bet most of us here still don't have the device yet, to benefit from your work. But we would appreciate if you could post your impressions about the device
i would love to get my hands on that I was frustrated at this unfortunate bug :-/ luckily during the conference it was the right time but now I need east coast time.
Apparently you can wipe to fix it but would rather not
I had this problem as well.
It is a bug in the pre-release software supposedly. You can download timezone changer from the market to fix.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.futurek.android.tzc&feature=search_result
Mine worked well until I attached the tab to Exchange. At that point it switched to GMT and locked me out of the setting. The Time Zone Corrector seemed to fix the problem.
I hope that 3.1 update comes as soon as they indicated it would... I don't know if I'm optimistic about it though.
Ah OK there you go. Interesting bug though, it didn't happen to a friend who got a tab as well, so some of you might be fine.
Could use apk, if its still available. Thanks
Well I need to make 8 posts to post a link... so you're going to have to make this link for yourselves:
http : // appliedanalog . com / downloads / SetTime . apk
All this program does is disable automatic time zones and clocks on your device.
http://appliedanalog.com/downloads/SetTime.apk
FTFY
Edit: Awesome, thank you so much for the unlock of automatic time zone. worked perfectly.

Worked great for unlocking but I notice the time zone still resets every time you reboot. Is this the same for everyone?
I think there is an easier way, with a non-apk to do it. When I was going through the settings, i ran across an area to set locale. Since I didn't have to change the locale (PDT), I didn't go into the settings. If I can find it again, I'll post where it is.
N/M. The locale setting I saw in the samsung apps, you can reset the locale on it, but it doesn't do anything.

If it is resetting (I've not tried this on mine) it'll be because it is pulling the time down from online. I ended up doing a factory restore today to fix the time zone.
On a separate issue I was having a partial success using XJNB to sync files with my Mac (see my 'first impressions' blog post post at surfsoftconsulting.com) but since the factory restore this has stopped working completely.
Other issues I have noticed:
Samsung browser is still very buggy compared to the vanilla Android browser. It crashes less than the one on the Galaxy Tab 7" but frequently fails to redraw large areas of the page when scrolling.
Using the camera forces bluetooth to be turned off.
Plugging the Galaxy Tab into a computer for sync forces bluetooth to be turned off.
Can't mount the (virtual) SD card as a drive on the computer you plug the tablet in to - you can only use the (buggy) MTP implementation called 'Kies'.
On the plus side:
Stock keyboard (not the default Samsung one) is good, I can almost touch-type.
I watched about 4.5 hours of DivX video and played about 3 hours of music during my 10 hour flight back to the UK and the battery was still 35% full on landing.
Thanks for the fix! I thought I was going crazy!!
