Hi any rom with froyo for my G3L
Thanks
Sent from my GT-I5800L using XDA App
check out the threads in general section
The regular I5800 europe roms work fine.
Actually, the European versions do cause problems. Since the 3G frequencies are different in Europe and America, an European ROM will not fit snuggly into the American versions of the phone. At worst, you'll never get 3G coverage and will be stuck on Edge or just G, in the best case scenario it will work, but since the phone has to be calculating a number of redundant transmission packets, you battery life will be affected. The only way to really make the problems go away is for an American based company to release a firmware on froyo... which is ridiculously easy if you're looking from the point of view of the developer, because the only thing that has to be changed are the antenna frequencies in the drivers (easily done with the base code and the right tools).
The saddest thing is the superior i9000 (Galaxy S) already has Froyo firmwares in America, Asia and Europe; the inferior i5500 (Galaxy 5) already has Froyo firmwares in America, Asia and Europe. However, for some reason companies have not taken interest in the Galaxy 3. I bought mine in Brazil and have been using it in Argentina, which thank god has SOME european frequency antennas, which means I do get 3G sometimes. However, my battery drains way faster in an European Eclair or Froyo than it did in the American Eclair.
i don't know dude... but when i flashed froyo (kyrillos custom rom) i get everything... even the 3g... and it works like a charm. with the command *#2263# it shows all GSM bands.. even the 850 band.
i have a I5800L flashed with XXJPM (european rom) and no issues what so ever.
try a custom rom . Indroid is very good and fast
Anyone with more insight or experience? Not sure if I should bother picking a 5800L, if I can't run a stable version of Froyo.
Docnus: So zero issues using Kyrillos?
I'm using Kryrillos v3.0, no problems.
Quick & stable. GPS, WI-FI, 3g works fine.
Still confused?
Hi,
Could some one please tell me, what is difference between Firmware Froyo, Honeycomb and Rom's I5800XWJPD,I5801ZHJPF,JPM,Kyrillos,..etc.
Currently using Samsung Galaxy 3 GTi5801, and its very slow.
I need desperate upgrade. Please someone guide me, am newbie to this hole android OS.
Thanks
I'm thinking of getting a Note 4 Exynos variant. I'm assuming it's coming from China and is this variant -
SM-N910U Exynos 5433.. Will this function in the UK as a regular snapdragon variant please?
And if anyone knows, can they confirm that the audio /speaker sound is actually superior with the Exynos?
Thanks

everything is superior with the exynos version. CPU is faster, graphics is faster, zero carrier crapware added, get full UMTS support. only thing is if you encrypt the first screen asks for teh password in chinese and prompts you twice (select checkbox and click OK). other than that its great.
Thanks but audio is the thing for me,, I'm hearing reports that the Exynos version dies does indeed beat the Snap one.. That's the icing on the cake for me if it's superior and not tinny /thin.
Not sure about Umts sir? What's that?
And if u encrypt? Not even sure how I'd do that? I'd just run it stock without rooting.
Would I get the firmware updates still ota?
Thanks
There is a thread on here with all the frequencies of each model. What you need to know is does the model you are ordering support all the frequencies that your carrier uses. If it doesn't support any then it's useless if it only supports one them you will have signal issues and battery drain
UMTS=4G data speed. yes you still get fw updates OTA. lollipop (next android) has encryption enabled by default with stock rom. you do get superior voice quality with exynos but its only 10-15% better not spectacular.
Hello
I'm considering getting the Note 4 but i am getting confussed as to what will be the best chip to use for UK use.
I'm currently on Vodafone and was looking at getting the exynos version, will this work on Vodafone? I can change to another provider if needed.
If i need to get the snapdragon version does changing to CM12 loose the s-pen function?
I'm not into rooting but want the phone to be quick, i have heard the exynos version is quicker running TW & the SD one is a bit laggy.

How do you get a exynos in the UK region as they are all snapdragon.

There's nowhere near enough benefit from having the Exynos version (if there is any benefit, at all) to make up for the extra hassle of importing one/finding a seller with reputable stock.
I am deciding which one to buy. I do not care about rooting the device. I do care about battery and performance. Planing to use it on USA T-mobile.
So what your thoughts?
Any answers?

The SM-G935F is the international version with an Exynos processor and it has an unlocked bootloader and can be rooted very easily.
The SM-G935U is the unlocked Snapdragon version available for the USA. It has a locked bootloader but root has been established for it.
If you care about performance there are Pro's and Con's to each device. I suggest doing some research about the real world performance and feel from the users in the Galaxy S7 Edge forums and see what everyone is talking about.
I'd I was making the choice I would buy the SM-G935F Exynos version. I will not buy another device with a bootloader that cannot be unlocked. That's why I am a Nexus user. Good luck on choosing a device if you are shopping for one.

I am finding the US 935U model is better on battery but once you root it battery life does take a hit. Otherwise,it is very fast without any carrier or Samsung bloat. So if you are looking for specific carrier apps you won't have it on the 935U model.

No updates yet for the 935U either. Still running the May security update.
Thank you guys for all your answers. Seems that is better idea to get the 935F . The performance and the battery are better not to mention the root capability and Custom Roms. The only thing is the warranty in the US, witch is in favor to the 935U.
You also won't have VoLTE/HD calling/Wifi calling with the F. Not sure if you care about those things or not, but something to think about.
I bought the F from b and h photography. One year warranty. Plus you can buy an extended warranty as well for drops and screens. I'm happy and secure with my purchase. Exynos, running basicplus rom, averaging 6 SOT, runs cool. No wifi calling and other little tmobile incentives I'm not missing.

Exynos is more efficient for everyday use.
Quote from gsmarena:
The test consists of two "laps" the first time around is a cold test that looks how quickly apps are loaded from storage. There the Exynos has a slight lead, perhaps the multi-core advantage gives it a boost.
The second lap checks if phones keep apps into RAM so the user can switch between them without having to reload the app completely. Last year it became clear that TouchWiz is pretty bad at it, but Samsung had supposedly fixed the issue.
And it sort of has - the Exynos-based Galaxy S7 flips back to apps very quickly while the S820 variant reloads them from scratch.

Has anyone from India bought the snapdragon version ? does jio work in it ?
I'm also trying to find this out. I've got S9+ and want to upgrade to S10+, but after hearing about exynos idle drain, was thinking of buying Snap 855 version.
It'll work, but you won't get VoLTE, Samsung Pay etc because of CSC...a lot of folks from India had the same issue with the S9 too.
Just stick with the Exynos, it's designed for your region, and all the features will work for you.
