    Did you just update kies or do you download and install? Also have you full kies installed or just the phone part? Im checking like every 5 minutes now because one of my friends has it now too!

    I connected my phone (Galaxy S on Meteor Bill Pay) to my laptop and ran Kies. It offered me the firmware update. I'll install it later on tonight. :)

    Kies is the biggest piece of shit software I have EVER seen. Can't get the damn thing to work. I'd take Nokia PC Suite over this even.

    Nah, the stupid flashing every five seconds mtp thingy. Even with SD cards taken out to avoid the filename issue. Disaster

    Hi Guys,

    Sorry to hear that some of you have had a bad experience with upgrade. I upgraded my phone yesterday and I love it. Flash in internet browser, USB tethering, Wireless hotspot all working - super cool phone.

    Cheers,

    Philip

    Do you happen to know what you need on your PC to make USB tethering work? Is it Kies?

    I had the same problem,unmounted all cards, external and internal, no dice.Read somewhere that Kies doesn't support names over 16 characters, but I'm sure you know that.IF you've ever used the sound hound app, there's a cache folder in the internal memory.Wipe the files in there.I think the path is soundhound>cache

    Hope this helps

    Just installed Froyo now, everything went smoothly :cool:
    I've attached images of the Kies version I have installed, and also the firmware upgrade message detailing what version I had and what I have upgraded to now.

    I just formatted the storage and will connect now. So if you want to upgrade the phone, don't use it. :rolleyes:

    Wow man this 2.2 is amazing. I actually feel cooler than usual, and ladies are walking up to me in the street and giving me gifts and their phone numbers, all manner of crazy stuff. Is everyone else getting this effect too?
    (2.1 losers obviously needn't answer)

    Wow, you preempted my question!

    I'm looking forward to seeing if the skype app will work on the galaxy s running 2.2 - I think it should but I'll believe it when I see it. I have had problems with my 2.1 handset lagging, and the battery life is poor - I'm hoping 2.2 will improve things on both fronts.

    I can confirm Skype now works.
    I upgraded to 2.2 today and i have to say other than flash i didn't see much of an upgrade.
    Why are some people going on about USB teather and WIFI hotspot now.
    I could always do that with 2.1.

    I managed to connect to Kies when the SD cards were in but it wouldn't upgrade the firmware so I unmounted them and now it won't connect and is flashing the MTP thing on my phone and won't connect.


    ugh.


    I just want my phone to be less damn laggy.

    I tried again this afternoon with no luck whatsoever.

    No idea what the problem is. Rubbish software altogether, the phone is clearly connected.
