      Hi all,

      I recently updated my phone to Froyo DXJP8 which is available in samfirmware.com for my I5503.

      I notice that my compass is not pointing the exact north even after calibrating from an open space!

      Can anyone tell me how to fix this issue???

      Thanks in advance.

      PS: I m sure that there is no problem in my hardware because it works fine in Eclair DXJG5 version.

        if you update to 2.2 (froyo) you lose compass functionality.

            Hi all,

            I have updated my phone to android 2.2 from samfirmware.com (Baseband Version I5500BVJJP7).

            But i found few glitches like compass not working properly. And I couldn't receive APN settings from the service provider.

            So i thought of switching to the samsung's version of FROYO.

            But in KIES, the option for firmware upgrade is disabled.

            Can someone help me out in switching SAMSUNG's version of FROYO???

            Thanks in advance.

              [deleted post]OH, and by the way, Samsung software Kies is an ugly, buggy, nonsense beast.

                            just connect your phone via usb cable to your computer and open kies.if the 2.2 os update is available in your region that it will show up automatically.
