^^ did you try ?....is it working with kies
Yes, I am based in India - Mumbai. As mentioned in my post I updated using Kies.
for detailed tutorial - link - TechGom: [Official]Upgrading Samsung Galaxy 3 I5801 to 2.2 [DDJP2-India] via Kies
Thanks a lot man, I have successfully upgraded to Froyo
Keep me posted if you find something new in this version or any special care to be taken etc..Can I move already installed apps to the SD card? I tried for 1 app but the option of "Move to SD card" is not highlighted.

You cannot move all the apps to SD. Some apps NEEDS to stay in phone memory for them to work, and thus the option "move to sdcard" remains non-highlighted for them. Also, you should not move apps that have their widgets placed on any of the home screens.
Check out various move2sd apps in the market for better management of apps. I personally use apps2sd free.

Hey guys m unable to get froyo update coz i am unable to connect g3 via kies. It jus shows connecting but does'nt connect. I have installed all the drivers and m in idle mode. On the phone it shows connected and on pc my sd card is also connected but kies still stays connecting.
PLZ HELP FAST
Can this b a prob due to lack of a driver called bluetooth peripheral device?
Now latest kies version is not even showing the connecting box when g3 is plugged in

Thanks for the suggestion. One more query...since I updated to Froyo my battery usage seems to have increased significantly. I completed the update yesterday evening at 5pm and by that time the battery was fully charged as it was connected through USB. By today morning 7pm (14hrs), the battery dropped to 50% already though my usage has not changed significantly compared to 2.1. Earlier my batter used to stay for 2-2.5 days at least with similar usage. I have installed Juice defender after the update and I also have "Advanced Task Killer" installed. Every time I open ATK, it has at least 10 active apps running which was not the case with 2.1. Can you let me know if I am doing something wrong please and if you are facing a similar problem? Also the battery widget app does not seem to work, it is installed but I cant see the icon in the menu list...i used to use this earlier

1. in my experience, upgrading to FroYo typically increases the battery life. (means, it should last MORE). It could be that you have not tweaked settings after upgradation. Check if any unwanted services are running by default, such as GPS, Auto-sync and such. I am sure you will find more tips on increasing battery life somewhere in this forum. Since you can see which programs are running again n again, (when you use ATK), take corrective steps accordingly. Simply uninstall apps that you don't use or very rarely use. (Google Gesture Search is one such app...I installed it just for testing n show-off but rarely used it, but that app used to re-start everytime, so uninstalled it)
2. About battery widget..have you moved the app to SD card? As already said, widgets don't work if the app is on SDcard.
3. Have you tried Custom FroYo ROMs? They typically are optimized for offering better battery life. I use Kyrillos' ROM and like it immensely.

What are custom ROMs? I have heard of this but not aware of the usage, installation, merits etc. I have checked the sync options. There is an option "Background data" which is checked. If I try to uncheck this, the autosync feature also gets disabled which I dont want and this was enabled even in my previous version of 2.1. The programs which I see running always are Juice defender, dropbox, yahoo mail,messaging, email, gmail, antivirus, mabilo wallpapers. Is there a way I can stop the auto-run of these apps? I understand the presence of gmail and yahoo mail but dont understand why others remain active.

I would advice you to check the official xda forums to know all the basics on custom ROMs, rooting and other things.
There are apps available in the Market which will prevent auto-run of other apps at the start up. Search for autorun killers and try installing and testing the most popular ones. As said already, simply uninstall the apps that you don't use. Also, personally, I wont recommend using any anti-virus app. Its simply not needed.

reviews in gsmarena saying after froyo upgrade swype is working
I already have ATK installed but still battery drains very fast. Apart from this, none of the battery widgets seem to be working. I have tried Battery widget, battery live and few other similar apps. These get installed but when I look at "Manage applications" these show as 0bytes and so no icon appears in the menu.
