I know, but I'm talking about a custom ROM that I am creating.
Wifi never works upon multiple hard resets/wipes.

No, I wasn't.
Screen periodicaly blinks ON and OFF
GT-I5800 FROYO.XXJPA
After additional factory data reset (it was made with keyboard code, because hard reset buttons combination does not wok) and first clean connection to Google account without any additional installs to phone, it began to blink every 2 seconds. Google account was changed to different one.
On locked mode phone's screen lights ON and OFF non stop every 2 seconds and like asks to unlock. It lights several seconds.
On unlocked mode after screen time out period, screen goes off, but after second of time switches lighting on again and does not lock again.
I seems that phone tries to lock, but can't do that for some reason.
It drains battery very fast way.
On first booting of phone after factory reset, I did not noticed such blinking.
I've noticed, that phone screen started to blink after the first contact was entered to address book and after WiFi and 3G data transfer connected.
I've tried to switch off WiFi and 3G/GPRS data transfer - did not help after that. Screen blinks. So it seems it is not Google account problem.
Maybe contacts? Or phone service download something in background from network? Incredible.
Before factory reset and phone user (and Google account) change my phone with this firmware version FROYO.XXJPA has no such problem. JPA is a little buggy, but it worked. Currently screen blinks and I have no idea where is the problem. It does not look like it could hardware problem.
One additional notice: phone stills has battery problem. It shows that battery dries out, phone switches off. It to switch it on again, battery indicator shows at least 50% again.
Last step what I could try - flash another firmware version and format SD card.
Thank You.
Does anyone know what is the maximum data transfer speed of the Galaxy 3 memory card reader? Is it worth to purchase a faster memory card than Class 4?
I am having a usb problem. When I connect the phone, the phone acts like it is connected to a charger, I can even change usb settings (including development) while connected without it telling me that it cant be changed while usb is connected. Windows recognizes it under devices and printers under the unspecified segment and says its and unkown composite device, kies starts trying to connect. I'm a little puzzled. I tried the basics. Rebooting, different ports, different computers (even though i dont see how that could help).
I'm using rooted jpf + lagfix 2 and modified jpb kernel
I'll probably just reflash if nobody has any idea

well I know what you said works, however that was not the issue with my phone. the thing is my phone was acting like it was connected to a charger, not usb. soo there were no such notifications, no signs on the phone that it was connected to usb. That was my problem, not not knowning how to use my phone.

lol, something was wrong with my phone, that is why i asked, lmao. what you said happens when everything is working correctly, and lol, I know charging happens, however that is all that happened, like I said it acted as though it was hooked up to a charger, not usb. Which obviously means charging + no usb stuff. I said that I could change usb(including debugging) settings while connected, which you shouldn't be able to do while connected to usb. You just misunderstood the problem I had
Everything was fine till last nite but then I noticed that the phone is not showing in windows explorer nor kies is able to connect. I then restarted the computer but that did not solve the issue. The phone mtp shows connected but comp cpu goes up & remains 90-100% which means some driver is hogging the cpu.
What can be done to solve this issue, reinstalling is going to be a major headache as kies gave me hell lot of a time installing the driver on my win7 x64 system.
Connection choice is set to kies not on ask on connection.
Problem solved.
Took the battery out for few sec & then restarted connected to computer without any problems & now kies too working fine.

It's a bug in gingerbread roms. Try enabling internet pass through for 5 seconds then mount the phone as disk drive. Should work then.
worked great thanks for the help

Presume you are not connecting thru a USB hub? If not, try a reinstall of the Samsung USB drivers to your PC.

Initially connected through hub but tried direct of the comp, still the same problem.
Found this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1727473&page=3
and tried the various fixes suggested, still no joy. Basically, MTP driver will not install, either windows or samsung's.
Guess I will have to return the item to stock once I've worked out how to do it.
Shame really as I would have liked to gone down the 'root' path, though being pretty much a noob to android hasn't helped.
