Official Samsung Galaxy SL (i9003) Thread

[AndroidFan]

Guys, anyone updated to XXKPE update? How are things working out? Is this an official update available at Samsung Service centers? -- [I9003] XXKPE (GB 2.3.4 - Build date: July 24th) Feedback - xda-developers

Well I am on XXKPE. It is stable, all functions work properly. Official update is still elusive though
Some people say that when they took their handsets to Samsung Center for repair etc. their devices got flashed with GB...

 

[furious_gamer]

^^ Man, you are updated. Hows XXKPE? Not laggy, and any improvements over XXKP9?

Is the official gingerbread update available through KIES? How much time does it take to update? And how is the stability of the official release?

 

[gagan007]

@furious_gamer: yes dude...I did that last night itself. Battery life has extended significantly. Rest, no bugs as such. Couldn't test MKV files. Will do it today after reaching home. GPS works fine. I mean I tried on Google maps and it did lock swiftly.

Angry Birds has some issues with GB, it never worked (all versions). Maybe I should try uninstalling and re-installing. All other games (which I tried worked).

 

[furious_gamer]

^^ Good news. I'll try it today once i reach home.

 

[gagan007]

ok ,so it isn't able to play all the MKVs thrown at it.

Please answer my question...

 

[furious_gamer]

^^ Not yet.

 

[gagan007]

@furious, you will be glad to know that what I said earlier about battery backup was wrong...the battery is now lasting significantly longer than earlier.

 

[furious_gamer]

^^ I am very glad to know that. So that means yes to install the new FW i guess. BTW if i dont put .pit file, my data's will not get erased. Only apps will go off. Right?

Installed XXKPE on phone, the first install had many issues, like non working cam and videos not playing. Reflashed it and everything is fine . GPS works absolutely fine, locks satellites in seconds.

 

[furious_gamer]

Well, i have this problem. Whenever i try to connect my phone to PC via USB. it is giving "Device driver not installed properly" error. But it worked few weeks ago and now i am unable to update with XXKPE....

But when i connect it as Mass Storage it is working. What's the issue, is it with the PC or phone?

 

[tarey_g]

yes you need samsung drivers for it to work. See if you have all the samsung drivers listed in the image below.

[furious_gamer]

^^ If i install Kies, will it not install the drivers by default?

If not, please direct me to link to download drivers. (Sorry i am unable to find the link :sigh: )

 

[tarey_g]

Cant provide the link , when i connected my phone first time , windows(7) did it automatically.

 

[furious_gamer]

^^ But not for me, my home PC was working fine till last week, but now both my laptop and desktop having same issues. Any other solutions?

 

[tarey_g]

Settings > Application > Development > uncheck USB debugging if its checked. then try

 

[furious_gamer]

^^ It is not-checked. So nothing to try, huh? *sigh* I am so unable to upgrade a new firmware which is at least better than my current one.

New Fring for Android now supports video calling for i9003, but video is choppy
