                  Galaxy S fan, 18 Apr 2011When is the gingerbread going to be available in South Africa?shouldnt be much longer. Our gsm networks are the same, so once the europeans get it, we're next in line. But if you're feeling brave, get the leaked version online and do the update yourself. Not like samsung sa's warranties are worth more than the paper they are written on.

                        update has been pulled from kies.

                        but for you network branded lot, simply download spoofFW from android market.

                        make sure you have the 3 button download thing working first!

                              Top tip never buy an android phone thats network branded.Anything on orange o2 and vodafone or tmobile has to be network approved so you updates could be as late as 3months.Bu from carphone warehouse all stock is unbranded and unlocked

                                  When loaded, press menu button (bottom left key). Select Tools, then Application Manager/backup. Tick all the Apps you want to backup onto your SD Card and press Backup button. After updating, download Astro again. Then do the same as above, but this time select Backed Up Apps and tick the ones to reinstall. Astro will ask you if you want to install them one at a time.

                                        To everybody have already done the official kies update to gingerbread, here a question, I notice improvement in speed and internet surfing but, for now, what look wrong is google maps, I mean everything seems working but the "new" 2 finger rotation that was working well with froyo 2.2.1 now it doesn't work on my device :-( can anybody confirm that is really working in gingerbread? Thanx to galaxy comunity..... I also tried to reinstall the google maps but same problem :-(
