Samsung Galaxy Tab Gingerbread 2.3 Update

Got my Gingerbread update yesterday. I wasn’t able to take note of the time, but it really took long, especially the backing up part. After completing the upgrade, my tab was hanging so I had to restart it a couple of times. Eventually it became normal again.

Installed a custom ROM based on the European firmware 3 weeks ago. XD

finally meron na ding update for galaxy tab…lol!

Had to reinstall flash 10.3 since it was not working properly after the update. Other than that its been smooth sailing. Also try selecting the firmware version in the settings > about.

galaxy tab? or ipod touch 4th gen? mas trip ko specs ng tab pero gusto ko naman ng apps ng touch :D

GUYS HELP! Please. I want to upgrade my Tab. Pero sabi kailangan daw ng at least 3000MB. I don’t get it. Bagong bili ko lang ng Tab ko. Wala pang 2 days so wala pa halos laman yung Tab ko.

Any HELP would do. Thanks I want to upgrade to 2.3 already. Excited na ako. :)

updated to gingerbread yesterday without doing the backup, good thing nothing went missing after the update. ;)

in my case, “affected” apps are:

– amazon kindle: had to sign-in again using my registered username and password before i could get back to my reading. after signing in, all bookmarks were preserved, so nothing changed in my books.

– app market: the “top paid” choice went missing, leaving only “top free” and “just in” as the choices. i’m not worried, however, since i had earlier encountered this when i first used my tab that i bought in the philippines abroad. it took about a few days for the app market to sync to my new location before all choices became available, so i’m expecting things to go back to normal in a few days.

the update process itself took a few tries before running completely, and only took one reboot for gingerbread to run nearly flawlessly.

@eleeven please leave some extra 3mb space sa phne storage.. :)

@jobo sakin no problem ang market..
and good thing nga sa internal storage d na wipe out..

my tab is now fast unlike before. i have a question though, is its healthy for my tab to have hundreds of apps installed in it? or do i have to delete apps cause its dangerous? thanks and more power! :D

Just a Tip for my own Experience:

1. Reformat Samsung Galaxy Tab 7″ – Still safer and more easy to Update.

2. Reformat SD Card – Much better to delete all file and back up music and videos and file only like picture and document so you can recopy them later.

3. Remove Sim Card – Kinda wanna be safe if you broke it is your own fault so much better to do the obvious.

4. Install new Kies – http://www.samsung.com/ph/support/mobilesoftwaremanual/mobilesoftwaremanual.do?page=MOBILE.SOFTWARE.MANUAL after installing the new Kies Plug your USB Calbe in the PC and select Samsung Kies in the USB Option wait for the Samsung Drivers to install all after that in the Tab you will see a Firmware Update just update make sure your internet and your pc only is connected no Flash Drive or any external. for my case only mouse and keyboard and Tab no more other stuff.

Took me 1:30 minutes then after that a prompt message that you will need to Restart then Disconnect cable then reconnect it after that wait for Kies to install the new Samsung Drivers and if that is done in the Tab press the home Kies or Disconnect Tab in Kies and your Done. With this much Smooth and Fast 2.3.3 Gingerbread.

Updated my SGT to Gingerbread using ODIN and the Italian ROM. Its very good. But now that I want the official one for Philippines, I get the message “This version of the device cannot be updated”. Flashed back to Froyo DXKM2 but still get the message from Kies. Anyone have a solution? Thanks

Memo did not work any more

Almost too good but can manage i just found new cool updates and some icon bug update but not in performance so here it is:

Music when in view mode of the Album Picture if you press the 3 Lines at the upper right area it will turn into the play list but not the default one it will over lap the image and transparent the list on it. – Cool

When Music plays on Background when going to the notification area you will see the music playing and you can play pause forward or rewind so much easier to change music no need to exit the current app for example Doing Browser dont like the music do pull down the notification bar then change it. Much more easier for me.

Typing i really dont know if this is a update but on the last time i never notice that when you type a letter will pop up and really cool even pressing backspace or go or send just really cool. – if this happen on the Old Froyo never mind this.

Camera Problem for some reason my of Froyo Firmware get a wired problem when i play to much video and use camera i cant see the image but some bits of image of the last picture now for dont get that error so yey Gingerbread.

Now Icon Bugs. bit disappointing of when not in landscape mode you get cool Icons on Battery, Signal, and Even the Digital clock its like enhance Icons but when you play a video or music the battery and the time get back to the old Blue and Bold Style Digital clock sometimes its ok but i notice it now so bad SOB SOB. For now that is the icon i notice wish there’s no more else.

Finally i just update my Flash to 10.3 and playing flash video in anime site becomes more faster and smoother. SUPER NICE.

any news on the gingerbread update for the htc desire? I’ve heard meron na sa Europe but haven’t confirmed if meron na sa Asia, specifically here in the Philippines.. Thanks!

can’t update my galaxy tab because of this msg:
“failed to acquire premission from the gt-p1000 administrator. the program will close.”

can someone pls help me?? thanks

just updated my GTP1000 works great all apps are much more faster than previous version.
thanks samsung for the update :D

My Kies keeps saying “This device cannot be updated.” :( I didn’t root my device. What’s up? Is this already available for all GT units in the Philippines?

hi i have the same problem too. but i found a solution. (Singapore Galaxy Tab owners – no need to go to service center)

1 first back up (very important)

2 check your region using *#272*IMEI# (mine is XSP Singapore)

3 then i change it to XTC (Philippines)

4 it will make factory reset

5 update you kies

6 plug it and ready to upgrade

7 after the upgrade you can return it back to the previous region (no. 2) (optional)

8 restore back up

9 download all your previous apps.

then enjoy……….

hi im new here..i need your help..kakaupdate ko lng ng galaxy tab ko using kies, pero froyo2.2 parin after the update nag iba lang itsura and nagkaroon ng social hub…after reconnecting my galaxy tab on kies, sabi i have the latest firmware already. what should i do to get gingerbread latest firmware version – PDA:JMK PHONE:JMA CSC:JM6(VIM) thanks

I have manage to upgrade to 2.3.3 gingerbread. Work fine. Pero my last few days nagkaroon ng problem sa external sd card. Di na niya mabasa. Suggest to complete all the task before shut down. Lalo na na parang nag hang ang tab

bakit sabi sa ibang website black daw and theme nung gingerbread, pero bkit nung inupdate ko sa gingerbread galaxy tab ko, ganun pa rin, may nag iba lang sa icons.
