Hi, since upgrading to Gingerbread about once a day the the screen screen goes black and nothing works or the screen locks up, have to take out battery to fix it then OK for a few hours. Can anyone help please?

Yeah, it's recommended you perform a factory reset after upgrading so you eliminate all traces of the previous firmware. Otherwise it might conflict. You lose all your apps but it'll make your phone performance better.
 
Thanks or the help, I have done the reset now and things are much better but it still locks up occasionally, never had that with froyo
 
I just upgraded to 2.3 and now I can't turn off sms messages from appearing in my notification bar. I had the same issue with Froyo but was able to turn it off in the settings. I try to turn it off in settings now, and the option doesn't "grey out" like it did with Froyo. I've tried "GoSMS" and "Handcent" but they don't help either. I still need to disable notifications on the stock app first.
I did a factory reset before and after the upgrade to 2.3 and everything else is working flawlessly (so far).
My phone is a non-rooted SGS Vibrant on Bell Mobility, running 2.3.3 UGKG3.
Please help!
