Hi everybody,
I'm new to the forum and would appreciate any help anyone could possibly offer me. I recently bought my Galaxy 10.1 and have been using it fairly contently for the past number of weeks. However I was recently looking to install Allshare and found that it was only available on version 3.2. So I entered 'Settings ->About tablet -> Software update -> Update. While trying to find updates I get the message 'Connection failed'. There is no problem with my internet connection as I am constantly online carrying out all other regular operations. When I connect using KIES, it doesn't propose any update to me.
I am living in Luxembourg and am wondering if that could be a problem considering the region of my device is 'XX', which does not include Luxembourg. But I would have expected another message, such as 'No update available'.
Any ideas anyone? Whatever I do, nothing seems to help. I'm open do any other options for updating my tab.
Thanks in advance,
Damien (Luxembourg)

get a custom rom ASAP
Yes it seems you have a bad case of "wait for the manufacturer" problem. There is only one cure: get a custom rom. The trouble with the Tab 10.1, though is that there aren't any custom roms based on Honeycomb (3.x) (to my knowledge anyway) since the source was never released by Google. So your only hope is to jump straight up to a version of ICS (4.0), which are pretty early releases right now.
Having said that I have done it and pretty much everything works fine for me. Look in the Android development for KANG (make sure you get the right one, they are different for either the wifi or 3G one).
Other than that, have a howl at Samsung I guess.

Incorrect info. There are many custom roms based on HoneyComb 3.2 in the development [email protected] If you aren't sure when giving advice, don't give advice?
Roms based on official 3.2 Honeycomb. I just picked some of the most recent releases, there are quite a few more.

Ooops, my bad. Sorry. I just read somewhere that Google never released the source to Honeycomb so I assumed that there was not going to be an AOSP. Yes I should have checked before opening my mouth on that.

And what if you download Samsung Kies on your PC and connect and update through it?
Samsung Kies is the official application by ... Samsung yeah (..) but it's not the world's most reliable application. Sometimes you might even have to install this more than once for it to recognize your Samsung device and update through it.
Maybe you already tried this, just ignore my comment then
I had something similar although my GT saw the update. After downloading it refused to install (update from approximately 13 MB). After reboot it ran the update to 13%, then rebooted and stated that it could not update. Same story when I tried to update through Kies. Trying to solve this one I flashed P7510XWKI2_P7510OXEKI1_SER through Odin on the tab and tried to update again. This time the update file was approximately 88 MB and got stuck after 9% and rebooted also telling me that it could not update. When trying to update through Kies it finally successfully updated. Maybe a bit much work (and tricky ) but it works.

I had some fun messing with some other roms but would like to get it back to stock to get the official touchwiz update. I took all the steps here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089 to take it back to stock and i can only get the 11.22mb update that includes movies. I can't get the touchwiz update. I have the U.S. Retail Wifi 16GB grey model. Any help would be great. Sorry in advance if this is a redundant post but i could not come to a solution that worked for me from any of the other posts. Thanks
EDIT: When i connect it to Samsung Kies it says "This version of the device cannot be updated" Current firmware version: PDA:KG4 / CSC:KG4 (XAR)
Im begining to think this may be a blessing in disguise lol. It seems that not many people like the touchwiz update so maybe i should be happy with my tab thinking it`s an i/o tab. Im guessing if we eventually get the 3.2 update, i should still be able to get it this way.

It's because, the only OTA version available is from the I/O tab. Therefore, whoever, initially rooted the retail version to installed the TW based roms in the dev section, and then went back to stock, they got the I/O tab version of 3.1, including myself. There are other people who are looking for the retail version of 3.1 in odin form. Anyway, I have backed up the rom in case there's an update for i/o tab. In the mean time I'm enjoying the deodex version of TW posted by doc.

I had this issue as well, fortunately I had made a backup of my system before doing anything with it, so I was able to restore to that and have the update become available.
That said - I'm running Doc's slim and it is leaps and bounds snappier than stock.
Looks like the Telus website is ready for the Gingerbread 2.3 update...
Durr: add https and www . telusmobility.com/en/ON/Samsung-Galaxy-S-Fascinate/how-to-002921.shtml
Now if only they'd actually release it
From the page:
As of July 2011, a new firmware version is available for the Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate 3G+. Before you update your smartphone, you need to know your current firmware version.
From the Home screen, tap Applications.
Tap Settings.
Select About phone.
You don't need an upgrade if the:
Firmware version is 2.3.3
Build number is GINGERBREAD.LKF9.
Interesting...the actual update page still says update to 2.2 and takes you to a page about updating to 2.2...of course a couple of weeks ago the update page listed 2.3 but had a dead link...so maybe its actually going to happen in our lifetime
have you tried connecting to kies to see if there's anything there??
Theres a new version of kies on samsung apps today but it didn't get me gingerbread yet. new version is Kies_2.0.2.11071_128_2
Yea.. I updated Kies and still nothing.. hopefully soon.. I grow anxious
I've been totally OCD about update checks lately. I'm driving myself nuts
I was the same way when i first say the update now for 2.3.4 on the update page a few weeks ago...gave up when they switched it back to a link to the 2.2 update...now i think it will be back to a nightly check
interesting, kies is suddenly only reporting my current firmware version and not saying that it's the current one... but not offering anything new yet, hopefully it's a sign of a release and not just a glitch

Yea.. I noticed that too. I suspect that the server it checks is just not responding, but... fingers crossed
Just checked again.. back to normal. Hopes dashed. :/
That makes me a saaaaaaaaaaaaaad panda

They're mean now that bell has the SII, it might be time to loose telus.
wow
Been waiting for this myself - checked the NS page and there is an annoucement to get the latest as well. Hopefully I don't have to unroot or disable lagfix before trying ... might disable the lagfix regardless though since that appears to be best practice with any ROM.
Tried but also getting the 'you have the latest firmware' message ... doh!
I gave it a shot, I'm running Bionix-V 1.3.1, and it came up with the message "incompatible device" looks like you'll have to downgrade to the stock rom anyways

out of curiosity, why not just install one of the many custom gingerbread roms out there? they're no longer the bug-ridden hack-fest they were a few months ago. seeing as some of you already are rooted or running a custom rom, i'm interested to know why wait for stock?
i do understand some people prefer to keep their phones in stock and i respect their decision.
edit: i'm personally running Darky's Rom 10.2 on my T959D. Tried CM7 (nightly 67) before as well, and although that was a headache to set up on my fascinate, it was also nice to see the differences between a samsung and aosp rom.

Second that - what has made me gun shy is that the Telus Fascinate is actually more like a vibrant or i9000 - so custom ROMs have some risk.
That being said heard so many great things about Darky's - would love a how to from someone with our phone and how it is working ...
Heard from Samsung
Apparently not ready but its weeks away, not months.
Hi,
I just bought one Samsung Galaxy S wifi 4.0 and would like to know if anyone is aware of the possibility to upgrade the "default" Android version 2.2.2 (Froyo) to a newer one.
It seems that a couple of applications out there do not run on this version. For example NDrive 11 says its incompatible with this and a HTC running 2.3.4 is compatible. Maybe the version or something else?
I already ran Kies and it says the version 2.2.2 is the latest.
Thanks for all the help you can give me.
Regards.
I've seen a video (found through google) on the net where the galaxy s wifi 4 was running Android 2.3. But it was unclear which version and it was beeing said that it will be upgraded when they release it in the US. But with all that Apple patent struggle raging in the background, I guess it will be at least delayed. I got mine in Germany, though.
Sorry I can't help with your question but I wondered if I could trouble to share your experience of the Wifi 4? Especially in relation to it's value/worth as a media player?
I'm considering buying the 3.6 variant but I'd like to get as much information before I take the leap.
Thanks in advance.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
any chance of running google voice on this via wifi for sms?
Got one today from best buy. Overall happy with it, but its a lot of money for what it is, especially considering the paltry 8gb of storage built in. If you add the cost of a 32 gig microsd card, its up over 250 bucks. The device is good, touchscreen is good.
Edit: It has gingerbread, and it runs very smoothly. Also has the real android market.
In my country, the Samsung galaxy S wifi 4.0 only comes with Froyo...I check with Samsung and was told that upgrades to Gingerbread are not available..
Any chances anyone know how to do it ourselves ?
cheers

I've just seen on Engadget that the Galaxy S wifi 4.0 in the US is sold with gingerbread!! Any news about dumps or updates available?

Er, well, I guess I should have been more specific about that. Which model do you have? Not the android version(when you connect it to Kies, it should say it in parenthesis in the box where it says that you have the latest firmware). It'll be 3 letters.
As far as the link goes, I do have it, but I'm not allowed to post links yet, so I'll PM you it if I can. If not, I'll post it here eventually(when I get to 8 posts).

It looks as though it is for the G70 - the 5.0. I have the G1 - 4.0.
I think the info you are looking for is YP-G1CW/COO.
I picked it up a month or so back and now, apparently, I should have waited - I live in the US and now it seems that they are available with Android 2.3.5 already installed on them.
Thanks for any help you can be...if the G70 file will work, I will try to install that.

Ah, yeah, I forgot about that. Looking at the firmware that I know is available for the G1, I don't see any 2.3.5 firmware out there as of yet. I'll keep my eyes open though.

I am in the US (Got my SGS WiFi 4.0 on eBay before I realized it was coming out in the US). Now, I want to update (NOT opposed to rooting) but the majority of the successes I have seen are for the 5.0 version (YP-G70).
Anyone got any suggestions or pointers for getting the update?
I have researched the model number I have and it appears that it is out in the UK and maybe Canada (among others). Would it be possible to maybe back up a YP-G1 that has a Gingerbread update and "restore it" onto mine?
Thoughts from developers?? Anyone??
Hi Guys, I've been waiting for the HC, anxiously for a long time now, but some how I still can't see it being available on my SGT 10.1. I bought mine from Canada but now I have it here in Finland (it should not make any difference), but thought I'd mention it.
My model No :- GT-P7510
Build No: HMJ37.XXKG6 P7510XXKG6
I've had my Tab for a few months now, and love it. Its rooted but haven't loaded any custom Roms. I know that I can use the CWM to flash the many optimized HC 3.2 ROMS out there, but I wanted to know why I am unable to see the 3.2 update OTA or using Kies. I just get a message that no updates are available, and I am running the latest version. I tried searching for the issue, but it seems not many ppl have this problem.
This is getting annoying, so if anyone has any ideas, please let me know (I am getting desperate ). I was thinking of Fac reseting the device, and creating another samsung account (maybe). What do you all think. But I dont want to screw up the tab, by messing around too much, so any help would be appreciated, thanks
From what I understand 3.2 is still not released for Canada
Sent from my GT-P7510
Canadian firmware has a history of being as much as 6 months behind on Galaxy i9000 -- could be the same for the Tablet
Thanks guys I guess I should just wait; on the bright side, atleast now I know what the issue is, thanks again!

Hey guys, I just did an OTA sw update (spanish official 4.1.2 rom, rooted & no other modifications).
Since it didn't contain any useful info other than it's a software upgrade, I'm confused about it. What did they upgrade for me? Was it rom related? I haven't noticed anything different about it so far.
Any info about it is welcome.

That 22 mb update will get you to LSD.
Thanks for the info!
Btw, just found out that the OTA has in fact failed, so I tried doing the upgrade via Kies. It went well, except for the fact the root has been removed by the update and I had to re-root. Also, the CWM I flashed a few days ago was gone too (but I used stock rom to root).
The changes I have seen with this update is only that my kernel now has a new build date (31. jan 2013).

Well, I can't really post anything useful, since I was looking for "the perfect rom" from the moment 4.1.2 official appeared. Before that, I was on 4.0.4 official. The only real thing I've noticed (between this and all other roms I've tried out) is that I have a bit high battery drains if I keep WiFi turned on while at my office. I've figured it's something about the router itself (never use Apple made routers!), so I "fixed" it by not using WiFi at work.
Sorry for not being more informative, haven't really done any elaborate testing apart from noticing obvious things like battery drains. The only thing I can say for sure is - 4.1.2 >>> 4.0.4 and 4.1.2 official >>> custom roms for me.
