harry, 26 Jan 2011We are going to show you how to Install FROYO 2.2 on your S... moreBluetooth is working fine after update.
The problem u are facing is that your media update service is not running due to which when u will transfer some files to SD card it will not detect automatically at that time until the media scanner run at next startup.
For your music files problem, try to reset your phone again

i highly recommend that you dont buy this phone at the moment. there is a major software problem, believe me i have done my research as i got this phone from carphone warehouse who i may add have been very unsupportive. I got the phone in august 2010 and it has never worked for more than 3 week!! i have had 4 new phones and 2 repair! they have eventually agreed to give me a completely different model. the problem is as soon as someone from O2 text you it wrecks the software! the outcome is you then get continual multiple texts that continues to get worse and worse, the phone just becomes useless. Apparently samsung are aware of the issue and are hoping to resolve it, but when!!??
