I don't think anyone knows when froyo will be released anywhere, let alone Samsung. I was lucky and used the reg hack to pinch the version released in scandanavia last week (i am in the UK) that has...

Well, bit the bullet...my kies now thinks its Swedish and my SGS knows for sure its on 2.2. First impressions are very good. All apps and data were there (although home screen shortcuts needed...

Hmmm...still not sure. Lots of success in the uk with the hack and i SHOULD be OK with an unbranded SGS on vodafone contract but there are one or two brick stories out there...just not sure.

From the smsung uk facebook page:

Samsung UK Mobile As some of you will have already seen we have started rolling out Android 2.2 Froyo for the Galaxy S in some countries in Europe. We are...

Well, it only took 15 or so 'retry' presses and then it took off like lightning. So my kies is ultra new and shiney now i just have to wait on froyo being delivered to uk based phones. I would do the...

Same old samsung crappy server bs for me. I get about 8k in 3 mins then the internet is not connected message. I wonder if its just one old 386 connected via 28.8 dial up in a caretakers room in the...

Bugger...only managed to get _81 to download 2 days ago!

Check the thread in general news on the _81 update (the one that runs to 4 pages now) In it Mircea posted this:

You need to read this thread...on page 2 Mircea posted this

if you get windows .NET Runtime 2.0 errors at the beginning of firmware update process (like msc.thunder.firmwareupdate.exe, ......

If you check xda developers forums they have all sorts of tips and advice on there.

As an aside i really like swift key. Took advantage of the get it for 60p offer just out of the beta. I find it a lot nicer than the default. Oh, and the fact its getting better at predicting how i...

The best bet is to phone the 3 techies and hope you get one that knows their a$$ from their elbow and can say yay or nay....that is assuming they even know. I am on vodafone contract but via phones...

Blimey, kies found the update again at the 12th attempt. Now if only the pos samsung servers would send data faster than 1k/s i may even be able to upgrade kies before froyo comes out!

Aye, a word of warning on editing the registry. All changes go live as you do them...no 'ok' or confirm button. Make sure you know what you are doing and back your system (see this:...

Is there a downloadable version of _81 as my _80 kies stubbornly refuses to re-find the _81 update after giving up on d/l it earlier in the week. In fact after sitting there for 15 mins today...

Odd...i am on _80 and my keis WAS downloading the update to _81 the other day (got megga slow/lost contact with server constantly at 26%) but now keis says i am on the most up to date version...Have...

Aaaages ago i used to use partition magic and boot magic to do this. Found an article here that might help. Noticed lots of links to free downloads of it as well but i am sure yo can check those out...

Letting kies look for updates last night i got to 26% for the update downloaded then it was constant 'internet not working' messages, even though it was at my end. I got sick and tired of clicking...

Ahh how i love the samsung extra slow servers. My update was going fine until it reached 26% then blamo...every 10 secs its the 'no internet connection' message. Obviously true so i must be dreaming...

I just started trying skyfire last night. In all situations so far its showing itself as very fast at opening pages and i love the flash video conversion bit, might even continue to use if after we...

I like the stock browser but would like to see if there are any better ones out there that people recommend. I have tried Dolphin HD and like some of its features (tabs, gestures and the side tool...

Just a few questions that have been bugging me since hearing about the 2.2 update. Forgive me if they are rather basic but i have only had the phone about a month...


I am on Vodafone in the UK...

This is now starting to get a tad annoying. Can't have my mate on an HTC Desire calling me up and saying he is on his second OTA 2.2 revision....come on Samsung!

Not holding my breath for 31/10 after chatting with the UK Samsung support line last week and the chappy saying sometime between the end of september and december....call me pessimistic but i suspect...

Update of kies went fine if a tad slow. Not tried anyting complicated with it yet...like connecting the old telling bone. Too late for that, just listening to the Blues Brothers sound track on...
