I'm not one for putting my private data in the cloud so I sync my phone contacts and calendar directly with my PC locally using MyPhoneExplorer. I disabled Google syncing in Settings > Accounts > Google > [my account name] where the syncing of the various Google applications can be 'controlled'...

Hello I haven't been paying attention for a few months and don't know where to look for the official latest. I have 2.3.6 (Gingerbread.XWJVZ). Is that the end of the line for Galaxy S? Or is there a 2.3.7, 8, 9...? It might seem like a simple question but it's not obvious if you're coming in...

Update: Finally found this thread at XDA. Works for me. ====================================================================== Apologies for this cross-post but the one in the Root sub-forum has had no reply for three days. Having trashed my apps and settings in updating from 2.3.3 to 2.3.6 I...

If you root your phone and later update the firmware does it stay rooted or do you have to root it again afterwards? Sorry if this is a stupid question but I've never rooted my phone. I am guessing the answer is that you have to re-root it each time you upgrade but I don't really know what...

I finally caved in and upgraded from 2.3.3 to 2.3.6 with Odin 3 after the new firmware was not forthcoming on Kies. I used the procedure here. It worked, in as much as the firmware is now upgraded, but my phone is somewhat downgraded overal. It lost its settings. First thing I noticed is the...

So far I've tried three SIP compatible apps (3CX, SipDroid and CSipSimple) on my Galaxy S unrooted with 2.2 but none of them has given satisfactory call quality. Sipdroid had a bug where the sound came out of the rear speaker and fed back as an echo and although this is fixed I find with all of...

Hello I'm looking for a portable speaker cradle for a Galaxy S. The Logitech S315 looks OK to me but it's marketed primarily for iPhone. I'm wondering firstly if the Galaxy will fit physically and secondly if there's a USB charger built-in (I read that it will charge an iPhone but I guess using...

Windows 32-bit XP SP3 (Intel). The road to this point has been long but I'll try not to bore you with all that. Now though (finally), with the Galaxy S connected to USB in Kies mode the MTP Device in Device Manager says no drivers are installed. If I let Windows try to find the driver it says...

Every so often my Galaxy S refuses to connect to my home wifi. I know the password is correct because it does work the rest of the time. It also happens even right next to the router with excellent signal strength showing. I go to Wireless and network > Wi-Fi settings and click my network. It...

[resolved: see end of post. I'll just edit this rather than bumping with a new post to advertise my ignorance.] Galaxy S f/w 2.1. It doesn't find either of my bluetooth devices - headset and handsfree. My old phone worked fine on both of them. I enable Bluetooth. The icon goes nice and green...
