Samsung Galaxy S Gingerbread 2.3 Update

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?

    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.

      The version of Kies that I’ve used was 2.0.0.11044_11. I’m just not sure if that’s the latest, because everytime I check Kies for updates it gives me a notification saying that it’s the latest.

      in the end, i had to bring my galaxy s to the samsung service center for the upgrade.

      was pretty happy with it…until ive started encountering problems with my contacts.

      sim contacts are not recognized anymore by the phone…i dont know what the problem is.:(

      and..all the contents of my globe sim card were suddenly erased. hay

      will try getting a newer sim card tomorrow, dont know if thats gonna do the trick.
