You need to install the Android SDK.. Then you will find adb.exe under the tools folder inside the SDK.. Though if you don't have a fair idea of linux commands, I'd recommend you stay away till a "on-click" solution is out!

hmm ok.. i guess i'll have to wait then.. hope someone comes up with a one click solution soon and its not a long wait!

hey,

I have a couple of questions for galaxy s users.

1. After the latest update, is it now as fast as htc legend or desire with no lags?

2. Does video calling work on skype over wifi? I have read over internet somewhere, that it doesnt and it keeps on crashing all the time. Can somene please confirm this?

1. Buddy! It depends on your needs and perpective. half a second gap(lag rarely now) wont cost you all your property. I had legend before SGS. I can tell you that in number crunching apps SGS is way faster than legend. Specially in graphics department SGS performs much better than legend and desire. But there is one thing for sure that HTC knows how to optimize software very well.
After 2.2, SGS will be fast as hell if samsung optimize JIT properly. So i am sticking with SGS.

2. Video calling does work perfectly (atleast for me) over wi-fi. You can also use fringe for video calling.

Thanks for the reply dude!Ok i will follow the steps from XDA. Can we undo it if we wants? Also is your phone has become fast in real time performance?
 
any one tested GPS after this new firmware flash ?

I am seeing a difference in configuration after this flash.

before flash:
Original settings:
Operation Mode: Standalone
SERVER: www.spirent-lcs.com
PORT: 7275

after flash
“Operation Mode” to MS Based
“SUPL/CP Settings” and change the SERVER & PORT to
supl.google.com and port 7276

TY for replying so quickly.

One thing more, as i neither play games nor use much heavy apps, so in that case legend is better or samsung galaxy S?

Even without rooting SGS, is there same lagging as with rooting or is it more? I wont be rooting my sgs for sure.

When is froyo expected to be out for SGS? And after froyo update, will legend also be faster than it is now?
 
Guys, does anyone have any idea when SGS will get 2.2 update in India? I heard that 2.2 will have full flash support.

Cheers
 
I want to buy a 16GB microSD for mi SGS, I want to buy anything more than CLASS 2.. so 4 or 6 is gud,even 10 is ok for me... the Problem is I can't find them anywhere.. I tried ebay.in,com,sg no luck..plz specify any site that ships to India or an Indian site that sells a 16gb microsd with class 4 or 6...:confused:
 
Hi kalpik! i managed to do some R&D and apply the new patch! getting a quadrant score of 2156! :) and more importantly awesome speed boost for normal usage!
 
Hey Could someone post the stock galaxy s firmware??
I have aldready tried samsung-firmwares.com .But that doesnt have the phone part(modem.bin).It flashed only the CSC and PDA.
I want all the 3 (csc,pda,phone) .I dont mind any version (ddjf2 or ddjf1 or ddjf3).

If you dont play games and use heavy apps or dont watch videos and movies or listen music then go for HTC Legend.
Otherwise SGS is best for media and games. Specially the screen is beautifull.

After froyo, i think the SGS will be much faster than Legend. Also HTC has not given any specific date for legend as of now(around christmas).

With the latest update SGS doesnt hv any noticeable lag in day to day use without root.
 
Ok, for all of you itching to try out the new lag fix, have a look here: [UTIL] One Click Lag Fix - xda-developers

I've been following it closely, and it looks like its ready for general consumption. But make sure you have a backup using titanium backup/my backup pro. Cause max to max if anything goes wrong, you may have to reflash your phone using odin.

Though follow the instructions carefully, and there should be no issue at all!

Again thanks a lot.

Is there any effect on battery life after rooting SGS?
