    3Skype - http://mobile3.3ireland.ie/sdf/skypexrdr - Not working for me. Page not available. I have wifi turned off. Must have wrong settings in APN though I'm after going through the steps in your sig. ??

    My bad Scotty. Take the 3 out of 'mobile3' It should be just 'mobile'. I've updated my post above.

    Also, if you're using the Samsung config's - I've always had to remove the proxy, port and username to make the APN work.

    Can you get onto My3? Or TodayOn3? If so...

    On the TodayOn3 page, there's a link near the bottom that says 'Download Skype'

    Hmm, not sure why it wouldn't work. Maybe make sure you're Wifi is turned off?

    Nope. And Id rather a threesome with bono and mary harney than waste more time fighting with kies. 2.1 is lag free anyways for me. Just flash support woulda been nice

    I had to remove the 0.0.0.0 from the proxy... try that.

    How do you take a screenshot btw? I'll post up my settings...

    Edit: Btw, all the the links above will only work over 2G/3G - you can't be connected over wifi.

    Rooted phones only.

    MyPhoneExplorer will do a screen grab unrooted, but for me some of the colours are inverted...

    In my one there is an option to un-invert the colours. According to the comments it works on many phones unrooted also.

    TBH it's the only one I've tried.

    Hey Ronnie,
    i'm having the same problem as you with the same PDA:JFB/PHONE:JF5/CSC:OXX version.
    emailed vodafone a few times and they checked it out with Samsung, this is the response i got

    "Hi nevermind
    We've checked with Samsung and they've informed us that there are issues with your currently version of Android 2.1 Éclair being recognised by the update server.

    They've advised this should be resolved next week."

    hopefully sometime next week it will be sorted

    I'm on the same version and was having the same problems but the update is now available

    Battery was nearly flat though so just waiting for it to charge before i update

    Yeah I'm on meteor. I bought my phone in the carphone warehouse though, which (according to a randomer in the pub) is significant apparently. Anyway, best of luck - it's not really worth the wait to be honest, but flash in the browser is kinda cool, and skype works for me now.

    Installed this week and it seemed ok just a tiny bit of lag now and then. Did a factory wipe today to see if that would sort it out and it seems awful slow so wishing I hadn't - any easy fixes or software I can install to sort this out?

    Cheers

    One Click Lag Fix. Installed it today and the phone is finally living up to what I thought it should be, absolutely flying.

    Do you have to root the phone 1st before applying the one click lag fix?

    Thanks

    Yup, rooted using Z4Root. Think that only works with Froyo 2.2 though.

    2. Install oclf lagfix.
    3, run ext 2 tools from oclf app
    4. Run oclf lagfix.

    Apologies....hope this helps a bit better

    Hi,
    I installed froyo via kies last week and I think the phone has deteriorated.

    The lag is still there. I have done z4root and OCLF but I think its still laggy.

    I am getting a lot of force close messages - on bluetooth in particular. Bluetooth still works but I am getting the error message.

    I also find the phone freezes and if I can wait it will come back. If not I power on and off to get it working.

    Overall, I think there's and awful to be said for a user friendly iphone.

    I love certain things about the phone - but the lag and the freezes are not acceptable.

    as well as doing the root id love to know if you can just go back to the way it was?as i presume you will have to do?if you unroot it and do a factory reset will it go back to like it was the day you bought it?

    ps i know someone could easily say if you dont know anything about it dont do it.but we all gotta start somewhere :)

    Got a Galaxy S over the weekend and went to update from 2.1-update1 to froyo as soon as I got it home. Downloaded Keis and while it said the phone was update-able, when I clicked update, it gave me the below, saying the devices version cannot be updated.

    So does this mean the update isn't actually available??

    Got fed up waiting for the o2 update on Kies and fed up with Kies in general so I flashed via Odin. Got the OCLF and all working now. Lovely, it's given a new lease of life to the phone.
