After a suspended update to Android 2.3, Samsung has finally released (this time for real) Gingerbread to its Galaxy S i9000 handset.
The update first leaked out back in March. By mid-April, the 2.3.3 update came out in Europe but was then suspended due to some bugs in the release.
By first week of June, Gingerbread updates started rolling out in parts of Asia (Hong Kong got theirs around May 31 or June 1).
Don’t know which exact date the Philippines got Gingerbread but was able to update my Galaxy S yesterday without any problems. Just for up Samsung Kies (need to download new and install version and un-install old one) and get the updates rolling.
Anybody out there got their official Gingerbread updates for Galaxy S already?

Updated successfully. No problems so far. Only noticeable change to me is the status bar, though I’m not very techy.
Ryan says:
HTC also rolled out the Gingerbread update for the Asia Desire HD 2 weekends ago.
JKisaragi says:
Yup. I’ve updated my SGS (Globe-issued) last June 3 via Kies. So far, so good. Although I did have to uninstall GO SMS PRO for being the main culprit of the battery running low very fast (I think it has something to do when I updated the app right after updating from FroYo to Gingerbread).
jquint says:
Will do so later this week. How is the speed? Will I need to do a lagfix?
rob says:

TwIsTeD_Rubz says:
I just got my Gingerbread update for my SGS. I like the UI tweaks that they did. It feels snappier but I’m holding out on making a final judgment until after a few days/weeks.

Dominique says:
… I had my SGS updated to Gingerbread as early as June 3! The day before that, I was checking my Kies and it showed nothing, so basically they started rolling out for Southeast Asia on that date…
Gerwin Sobremisana says:
Hi! How about for the Samsung galaxy Ace? Any news or updates as to when the v2.3.3 will be available for my phone?
macaRonnie says:
Updated the Samsung Galaxy S two days ago. Just make sure to remove any lag fix applied before performing the firmware update through Kies.
ram says:
Naupgrade ko na ang firmware ng galaxy tab ko. Ang bilis ng gingerbread. Thanks Samsung… :-)
joseph says:
bakit wala pa din sa Kies ko yung Gingerbread update? Patulong naman..thanks
joseph says:

snowbear says:
hi does “Downloading… do not turn of target!” displayed on your phone (galaxy s) take too long? how will you know the progress? kasi 0% parin sa PC..
Sam says:
Updated mine last June 8. Noticeable changes are the new look of the notifications area, better copy and paste (thanks to Gingerbread), and performance improvements especially when it comes to updating multiple apps simultaneously (less to no lags/FC).
Additionally, in Settings -> About Phone you will see “Software Update” menu as the first item in the list. Unfortunately, the service is not yet available for our country.
Abi says:
Why doesnt my tab get updates from kies?i tried to connect now but it still says i have the latest firmware version. I already have the latest version of kies

blitzkrieg says:
with gingerbread things became speedy including battery drain. occasionally, the phone turns off on its own. hope another update would come out to fix it.
Ringo23 says:
Anyone mind sharing what Kernel version got released here in the PH? On a custom ROM, and thinking of reverting to a stock one.
Thanks.

Good Day!
Is there a Gingerbread update for Samsung Galaxy SL I9003 here in the Philippines? I just installed Samsung Kies and it can detect the latest firmware but for whatever reason it cannot update the firmware on the phone, it keeps on disconnecting.
