now that Ace already got GB in service center AND Kies, only left SL still eating froyo. hope samsung Malaysia can hurry up

there was an announcement from Samsung italy that there will be a final direct update to 2.3.5 in November.

(link was in facebook but lost it. xda also have)

Just made a comparison between my wife's new nokia E5 and the Galaxy SL in terms of GPS performance.

I'm able to lock position inside my office about 3m from the nearest window with agps in about 30s.

With my Galaxy its impossible with or without Agps.

Near a window in my house, the nokia can lock a position in about 1.5min without Agps and can hold this position as hot lock even i exited all gps apps.

Galaxy SL is still trying after 10mins lol...

The only condition when both are comparable is directly under the sun, stationary.

BTW I'm still using DXKB2. Hope GB will bring the improvements...

Hey, finally someone speak out!

I guess GPS is the main reason I waiting for official Gingerbread release...I depend on my phone 24/7 and can't afford to take 5-12hrs to flash, restore etc, provided XXKPH works on the first try, if re-flashing and stunt required I will be in deep sh!t lol...

Guys, want to have your gingerbread and eat it too? Perhaps a hope of some Ice cream sandwich in Cyanogen flavour?

Come and help donate to give an SL to the Galaxy S and S2 moderator of cyanogen for them to officially support SL.

To kick start, I've already donated 5 euros.

Donation Thread in XDA

Or paypal link :

Or you can even PM me and bank in to me and I will paypal it for you.

Its embarrassing for Malaysia to lose to India!

As I remember, my 2nd transaction did get the RM10 rebate.

Gambateh, already close to halfway we can reach if users here also contribute.

can you describe the problem before and after the fixing?

Can I ask a big favour. Does papago force close after you navigate with voice after abt 10mins driving or abt 15 tirns / corners.

Not available for me too. DXKB2 ain't getting any action yet.

I guess his question is more : is it easily reversible ?

delay from July to Aug to Sept to 21 oct to "early nov". I can bet my ass this'll drag on till end of Nov. My itch also almost unbearable. TW4.0 looks quite ok on my bro's S2, will we get it with stock GB for SL?

I used to get the screen blank off which is commonly referred to as the screen of death or sod. For me it usually happens at night when i sleep.Over the last month i make sure to switch off wifi b4 sleeping n i have not get this phenomenon since. Strangely in the day time i have wifi on all the time and nothing happens. Maybe it wasn't sleeping long enough in the day time.

read carefully, flash via odin means not available thru kies.

its so fast to lock, i can't manage to test it while car is moving lol. (from the time it takes to start the app to press the accelerator pedal already lock!)

I *think* papago voice navigation also can run already (didn't force close from home to work) but will test this again on the way back from work today.

i can't say there is much difference in battery life between dxkb2 and dxkp9.
first day usage, almost same status just before I sleep.
