I had CM on it for awhile for her but its been glitching and doing weird stuff recently so I told her I'd just wipe it clean and make everything stock again (she's really not techie. Long as its stable and she can send/read emoji with the JB update, she's happy).

So I factory reset, that put it on Gingerbread. The I performed maybe 3 OTA updates in a row, bringing it to FL24 I think (whatever the most recent before GB27 was). Now, here's the problem.

I'm connected to Kies, drivers installed, space cleared for the big update, charged to 40%, I'm telling Kies to perform the update but it just closes right after it downloads whatever packages I think it says its downloading. I've tried everything I could but its just not updating the phone. I thought it was lack of space but it wasn't. I'm thinking maybe it needs to charge more but I figured it'd say that. Plus I did every other update on a little over 20% of battery.

Anybody have this problem? Solutions? Thoughts?

I went through went the upgrade and noticed it appeared to be a total remake of the phone. I am liking some of the changes and hope they solve previous issues I had after the ICS update.

One thing I do not like is the new keyboard. Aside from the look and overall redesign, the auto correct feature no longer works. Now you guys know auto correct is a must when using a touch screen.

I am wondering if anyone else is having this problem and if so, have you found a solution?

I recently purchased a microUSB->HDMI cable for my phone. The picture quality is excellent, however, the picture is scaled differently than it should be on all displays except my Vizio SmarTV.
For example, when watching a movie, the picture is in letterbox on my phone, but on the display it is squashed to look like it is 4:3.
It looks pretty ugly.

Fortunately on some of my displays I have an option to make the image "super wide" which returns it close to its original aspect ratio, however, most don't have this feature.

Any help here?

Ever since the JB update my phone's screen turns on when I get an SMS. This is particularly annoying because while in my pocket, my leg will press on the screen, either pressing buttons in the emergency dialer or getting me locked out of the phone...
Is there any way to disable this?
I'm perfectly capable of pressing the power button to turn on my screen, I don't need it to waste my battery doing it automatically.
