I just had a phone crash. Turned on my wifi to connect to my home network and the phone froze dunno whether due to 2.3.5 or CF-ROOT.

thanks for notifying, for me even in stock, I've had wifi locked up whereby cannot switch off or on. But the phone still worked for other functions. Had to restart.

I called up Samsung - 1800 number to check for SL 2.3.5 OS, a man called Ridzal told me it is not out yet. I told him I got notification from KIES. He then check with his technical person and confirm even there is no 2.3.5 update via KIES.

So, I redial again and the same guy picked up. I close the phone and redial, another man call Shakir answered. I asked the same Qs and he told me it is available.

Sigh!!!!

Qs to all - (1) it's 2.3.5 right? (2) future - where there be 2.3.X??? Cos no point to go to Samsung Service center and do OS update twice or thrice. Ya, I prefer to go there then updated over KIES - risky.

Thks!!!

It is the GB update, just updated my phone.

Better call the service center you plan to visit directly to confirm. No point some Tom, d*** and Harry promise its available generally but not where you plan to go.

anyway this 1 or 2 days not many new release over kies so i expect their servers and network won't be that jammed.

it takes about 1-2hrs over my 1mb streamyx line. Else use Odin which is much faster but you're phone will factory reset. Over Kies, most things are carried over including apps.

It's 2.3.5, fortunately my phone did not reformat from downloading via Kies.

just flash via kies.its time consuming and make sure your internet connection is good.but its better to do it urself.dunno how long u need to leave the phone if u want to just update ur firmware in the centre,bcoz i really think they will not directly upgrade it for u on the spot.they have many other people coming for repairing and collecting phones.most probably theyll entertain those first.just my 2cents

n 2.3.6 for europe has already out - xxkpq.should give it a try once i get my hand back on my phone!!

ok, its confirmed that wifi is still a problem : Wifi will suddenly drop connection, even during the middle of surfing. Then wifi will just freeze, not able to disconnect-reconnect. Only a reset will solve it.

chicken out to flash using KIES.
will walk in to center
i was told it takes 1-2 hrs to flash new f/w, so i will walk in early @ 9am sharp.

btw, i use my phone for sms/call - not sure worth to upgrade from 2.2 -> 2.3 cos now, eveything works well

thks all

so far i use 2.3.5 okay le. just it will restart phone sometime. but very rare.

i'm still using 2.2 for almost 6 mths, no restart at all.

battery life better in 2.3.5?

Anyone tried updating to GB at Gardens Samsung store?

How about restarting the wifi driver? At the dialer, type *#*#526#*#*. See if it works.

Gingerbread supposedly has better battery management. I feel my battery lasts longer now, but maybe's it placebo effect but the most important thing is that the GPS is superb now! Sometimes before Papago finishes loading, the voice already said, "voice navigation started".

first thing i did was try the wifi driver code. Does not work. Saw some threads in xda about this even in xxkpn, there were claims that using static ip address can solve it so I'm waiting to go back home to try.

FWIW, at office I don't have this issue yet.

BTW 2.3.6 xxkpq is out

This is my battery usage for yesterday. I'm on XXKPM.

Ah ok. I'm using the static wifi IP thingie right now. Will report if there's problems. 2.3.6 out on Kies?

Has anyone encounter problem like when you switch on your phone.
it finished media scanning. after that some apps that install in SD cannot be use?

"Application is not installed in your device"

Wondering if there's any improvement from XXKPN. By the way, I wonder why my phone is lagging and not smooth when I set it to silent mode.

now only europe got the 2.3.6, not our region yet

do u apply internal-external sd swap?

nvm problem solve
