Hi I am new here. Just got my phone yesterday.

I am also stuck at the upgrading....tried to remove battery and rebooted my pc everything but still stuck.

Kies told me to do emergency flash..which I don't think is necessary since the phone is still running normally.

Any idea or a more detailed guide?

Yup...no update if using OTA...guess I will try to update through KIES later.

I have no faith in Kies since my Omnia2 days haha.

Of course I won't give up. Just frustrated with kies. Will find other options to update the phone

I'm on my final attempt to upgrade to 2.3.5. If still fail, Odin here I come~

You used the kies?

May I know how long it took for the whole process?

Finally updated to 2.3.5. But I don't know if there is any difference. Just got the phone yesterday >.>

Kies

Seems the battery life is better too. Just reached 50% left after whole day of GPS/games/wifi.

Turn off live wallpaper as well.

Finally activated my mobile internet...now that's a battery sucker haha.

I think i got the latest Sygic but then I doubt the map is up to date. Map wise, I think Papago still have the edge over Sygic.

But my problem so far is difficulty in locking satellites. I don't know why, but my brother's Galaxy W also have this problem. My sister's Arc locked to papago's satellites in less than a minute. What could be the problem?

Is it due to the weaker GPS module Samsung uses? Had this problem too back then with omnia2. Garmin satellites only lock once in a blue moon.

I wouldn't worry about Samsung support for the product. Power users will end up using custom ROMs anyway. Haha..


Yeay! 1000th post!
