I know. If I remember correctly, those are the two latest firmware versions for ace. Turning the wifi sleep policy to never did not work for me. Reverting to KA6 did. If you can revert yours to KA9 I'm sure SODs will trouble you no longer. Try it. smile.gif

My phone used to SOD 1-3 times in a 24 hour period (DXKC1). No apps or widgets installed/running, just left wifi on and Google sync and it still happened. I took your advice and used Odin and swapped to KA6, it still SOD-ed in 14 hours or so. Finally, I reflashed to S5830XXKP8 with Android 2.3.3 and no more SODs for 50 hours+. First time it's been this way since I bought the phone smile.gif

I'm not too sure about the autofocus, I also read that it's broken in 2.3.3 KP8 but my pictures seem to be able to focus on close/further objects without any issues. It's been running for 3 days+ now since I did the update, 0 SODs with wifi + everything running so I'm really happy about that. SGA is an excellent phone but Samsung really needs to fix the firmware issue that's causing the SOD in the official 2.2 firmware. Hopefully once 2.3.3 is released on Kies this wont be a problem anymore.

S5830XXKP8 is not official for ACE yet, right?

any risk to update it? mind sharing how to do it?

I used these two guides to flash to 2.3.3 :

1) http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=1884...88747&topic=433 (See Pedro's post, check his latest update if you want info on 2.3.3 KP9)

2) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034145

Just need the firmware package (4 files), OPS file and Odin to do it. Takes around 5 minutes and you only need to put your phone into 'Download' mode and press Start on Odin once the phone is detected via USB. I'm not too sure about the risks of a bricked flash since this is my first Droid phone so maybe someone else here can shed some light on that smile.gif Take note that once you do that flash, the phone will be in another language (Russian?), so just go to the Settings -> Locale and Text and choose English.

Yeah, you need to backup everything. Only stuff on your phone's memory will be wiped, SD card data wont be touched.
