Did you get the Galaxy Ace update yet?

Can someone remind me if again if I update through Kies does it keep my apps or do I need to back them all up and restore them?

Cheers in advance.

I would back up everything just in case. By the way i thought you said you had already updated to gingerbread via kies a while ago but had a problem sending sms with packet data on????:confused:

I did but rolled back to froyo because of it,I cant remember though if when I updated with Kies I lost everything or not as I had also flashed and I know that resets but honestly can't remember with Kies.
 
I've been lurking this thread for quite a while now, and I thought of sharing what I found out.

I emailed Samsung yesterday and, well, no luck. This was their reply regarding the update for users in the Philippines:

There is no confirmation about the date of release of Gingrebread 2.3 for Galaxy ACE yet. This is due to the
ongoing tests for Philippine based models. In line with this, kindly wait for official announcements. The update will
be soon available through Samsung Kies and authorized service centers. Please bear with us.

Still waiting for Godot, it seems. :(

It seems to be possible with 2.3.3, but there were no official update after that, so I never tryed it in action.

Why would having to plug your phone into a PC make you get a nokia?:confused::confused:

Just updated to 2.3.3 via kies and it kept all my apps etc.

and @deepakskht, after the initial update to gingerbread all others will be available OTA. Seems strange you would choose a dying phone brand with outdated OS based on the decision involving having to rarely plug phone in for 5 mins though.
 
Im with talk mobile which runs on the Vodafone network and i cant get the update today?? Whats going on??

3 networks update is out today. Not every uk carrier. Dont think vodafones update is out yet, so talk mobile (it may piggy back of vodafone - but wont be as advanced as them at updates etc - you get what u pay for imho) will probably be a while off yet.

I would contact talk mobile and ask them if they are releasing their own version. If they are wait paitently or if not download a leaked rom. (beware the bugs reported in the leaked roms are not present in my official update) its your choice however!

I'm pretty sure that Talk Mobile don't brand any firmware (they're part of Carphone Warehouse which generally only deal in unbranded handsets) so their handset is almost certainly stock (like mine). Of course since the UK stock firmware isn't out yet that's not much help but I think it should be soon now.
 
Samsung officially announced today: 2.3 Gingerbread update is available for all the "Galaxy" devices... Does anyone still do not have it in Kies?

I have a sim-free Galaxy Ace, I normally use Orange network. I put a "3" sim in to see if that would give me the update but nothing. I put my Orange sim back in and nothing, updated KIES and still nothing lol.

Looks like I will have to wait.

I had a talk with Samsung Live Chat Support today.
All that they said was that they do not have any confirmed info about the gingerbread update in INDIA.
But it will be available very soon.

Looks like we will have to wait some more time.:mad:
