Did you get the Galaxy Ace update yet?

Hi. I have an unique problem. I am from India. And its the Gingerbread update is available from Samsung Kies itself. But its been three days and I cannot update it. It instructs me to update,then it starts 'downloading firmware components. Then it starts "preparing firmware components" and never stops. That "preparing firmware components" window stays on the screen for hours and hours and is hard to remove unless the task manager is used. It has been three days and I am out of wits trying to figure,how to work this out! Can anyone,please help me?
 
That's actually a pretty common problem..
All you have to do is just start updating and leave the computer like that, not even use the memory or internet..
For best results try at about 11 at night(that's the only time it worked for me)...



And are you sure its the gingerbread update because i'm from India and have been checking regularly but there is no gingerbread update..
Does the kies window say something like PDA:KC1 PHONE:KC1 CSC:KC1 ?
because that's just an update for Froyo..

Have you updated the firmware from KA7 to KC1 ?
what is the difference between these two?

Honestly i just got the sleep of death bug which i didn't have in the KA7, otherwise, just a small difference in the battery life, or a bit better performance (very slight increase, nothing major)
I'd say wait for GB :P

what do you mean by a "sleep of death bug" ? This official firmware update is having a bug?

Yes it wasn't there when i purchased it, and i kept it on stock KA7 for about 3 weeks and had no problem, but on updating to KC1, the phone restarts sometimes when WiFi is active, and doesn't switch on till you remove the battery, for some people it resolved on changing WiFi sleep policy to never but for many it didn't so i'd say just wait for GB because it will have all bugs fixed.. (since the leaked ROM of gingerbread didn't have this bug)

Every site said Ace would get an update till the end of may, and unless samsung plans to roll it out at 11:59 on 31st May, i don't think its gonna come :(

The thing is... The press release by Samsung never mention anything about getting the Gingerbread updates to all Galaxy devices by end of May, the only 'time' mentioned is that Galaxy S update will be roll out in mid May. Samsung never commit to get the updates done by end of May.

we should be getting it these are reputable sites
 
Well it would be pretty awesome then :D
If india gets it by next saturday, that means it is going to start rolling out by monday too...
 
I remember how long I had to wait for froyo on my samsung galaxy europa (i5500). It had to be on december 2010, but it wasn't. Then march 2011 but it wasn't. I don't know what happened next because I bought galaxy ace.

But I think it will be this same story here with ace.
