    Help With Updating My Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate 3G+ To 2.3.3

    I can't put a diffinitive solution out for you. But you have to ignore some of the KIES messages like, USB connection lost and at the left screen CONNECT DEVICE because it drops connection during the download.once it gets to the decompressing files it is close to the point where it toggles the...

    Gingerbread for the Telus Fascinate is out!!!

    Its the buggy very though. They pulled it after release. 2.3.3 is likely a waste of time with all the bugs and security issues. Google release 2.3.4 for that reason so long ago. So why not the lastest platform release. I am going to wait.

    2.2 battery drain

    Should be good with Telus 2.2 upgrade in that dept. I found I had to power off completely (removing battery may helps as well) Wait for 20 sec or more. Then power it all back up and see how it goes. The soft reboots it does is not good enough.

    Gingerbread Upgrade for Samsung

    You are correct on no 2.2.4 but the Android site ---> Android 3.1 Platform Highlights | Android Developers shows 2.2.2 patch and fixes and the text messaging bug should be of concern you mention if you text a lot since it can be misdirected with private content. Anyway they do exist if you look...

    Gingerbread Upgrade for Samsung

    upgrades/updates Well the OS updates for Android are free to start with from Google as they are for the IOS version for the IPhone 3 original. Hence the PC scenario does not apply. Having said that the updates to the newer 2.2.4 is not a upgrade but patched to both fix bugs and very important...

    Gingerbread Upgrade for Samsung

    Updates I am shocked that Google had not for seen this as an issue knowing how OEM's and Carriers were handling other product and also knowing how Apple was doing it by the time they entered the market. With so many android phones I would expect more of a back lash from consumers. Maybe there...

    Gingerbread Upgrade for Samsung

    I don't know about this Android platform. Google has 2.3.4 out fixing various bugs in the 2.3 code but there is no way to get the update specific to the phones radio hardware etc. We should be able to get them on demand from Google and not wait for the Carrier or Samsung to roll it out. It...

    **** off of the weekend - Samung Kies

    Are you using Kies 2.0? You can copy to PC or PC to phone. Samsung support isn't the greatest and only a few reps know what they're talking about but the software build and built in apps are poor. HTC Desire is much better but the screen, speaker and lack of a PC based apps had me try this. As...

    App to improve battery life

    Run the battery down until it goes off (after the low battery warnings). Then fully charge it. Run it, that's use the phone for whatever to run battery down and dead yet again. Repeat until you've done this 3 times. When you get a new device you're suppose to fully charge it first and not use...

    Telus Fascinate voodoo

    I have been finding my Fascinate slow responding and refreshing screens, toggle apps etc. I am on 2.2 as well. I had a HTC Desire for a while and its much faster. So much for this 1GHZ CPU, its no snapdragon!!

    App to improve battery life

    I would first recycle the battery as you're suppose to three times!!! Power off unnecessary data connections. you should get two days minimum with moderate use. I do and have tried two different Galaxy S Smartphones. If not successful no app is going to create power if the battery is bad or dying.

Many function either did not work or work properly. I was only after I got a replacement that I found out there was a way to...

    headphones with mic on telus fascinate

    With the original working then the wiring and/or pin assignment for the 3.5mm jack is different. There is no standard and having the same plug means very little. The button opens and closes a loop circuit and how its applied can be different between phones. You'll need to look for one designed...
