And what about geotagging in the new firmware – does it work ?

I’ve tried doing this after a successful update from the Italian firmware, but the Samsung PC Studio failed with some file error just after the phone had blue-screened. Luckily, it hadn’t started to update the firmware by this point, so the phone still works. I had the same problem twice: can’t work out why.

How much free disk space does this process require? I had over 3GB…

Hi, I have 2 question abt this release;

- Is French writing language available ?
- Is it hackable ?

Thanks for you help!

Samung Netherlands just today made new firmware available. But that firmware is version I8910XXIF7

I wonder if this is the same firmware as i8910XXIG2 with just another number. The software version date is 15/06/2009. That seems old to me. But until yesterday there was no firmware available on the samsung website. and via PC Studio. So it shoot be the latest

hey tbj2 please check in the video rec mode what code display yours AMR or AAC

Celtichazard: It is still AMR 8Khz. So i think i have to call Samsung

XXIG2 successfully applied yesterday evening
ThX all
I have the feeling the battery life is better
But this is the 1st day only
The phone looks snapier but have not re-installed everything yet

Had to do the audio fix

But noticed that volume tricks were already in the XXIG2 fiwrmare

To answer my own above question, yes, it has french and english language pack available

Hi all ive also done the above firmware upgraded i was on orange IE2, i was having alot of troubles with battery life after switching the phone off after it was completely flate and charging it over night 5 or 6 time it seemed to have sorted the battery out but i never get any more than 4 days out of the battery at a push and thats just using the phone at its min may be with a couple of very short calls
i havent noticed that the battery is any better with the new firmware if you check on the forum there are some mods for extending battery like like changing packet data to ‘when needed’ and turning video sharing of..
1 thing that i have noticed is that the bug seems to have gone when you plug it in to the usb , you used to have to switch the phone off then back on again otherwise it used to run down the battery quick that dont seem to happen any more.

Hi, I was using unbranded XXIE7; and … for example, left the phone on with no app running in background, just “online” standby, 5battBars evening, only 3 left in the morning; will have to redo this test
ThX for batt hints; already disabled videoSharing and set “when needed” to packed data. Also stay in GPRS most of the time
Oh dreaming of the day when I can browse the whole day long in 3g and loose only one batt barr
Never had any issue isung the USB on XXIE7 (Pc suite mode or massStorage mode) well … di not noticed anything at least

I just phoned Samsung Netherlands and they told me that the XXIG2 firmware is available only via a service Centre, not via PC Suite.

Is this the famous service from Samsung????

Im in the uk and i flashed my uk phone with the italian software off the forum and updated it with the pc suit with know problems only thing i have found is that some of the web bookmarks and widgets go straight to the italian website but its not a biggy cos the phone works so much better

DaWaBZ94 said that you can keep the phone in gprs mode instead of searching for 3G all the time how do you do this any help welcome

Respect to Battery performance when connect to pc studio or storage mass the phone start to drain the battery. and only have battery for around 12 hours, I think this happens because the battery internal circuit loose any battery remain info. when you introduce more charge via USB. I recomend check for updates to the end of the day when you have 1 bar of battery and you can turn off youu phone and charge all nigth and you have at least 2 days of full use in the mornig. Ihave XXIE7

Just installed the latest Italian firmware from the forums. Then tried updating through the PC Studio to get the latest from Samsung. But the computer keeps giving me an error when the phones gone into boot loader…doesn’t quite getting to installing…so phone turns on again after I’ve cleared the error. Anyone know what the problem could be?

Scrap the above…got it working by going on another machine that only had the Samsung Studio installed…worked like a charm

where to find new updates to this phone?i can’t find it on samsung website

I have updated my phone with latest firmware XXIG2. The phone works amazingly faster & kewl compared to its previous Orange firmware. Can someone please tell me how to find out if the audio is changed to AAC??

Hi all,
well a small report on this XXIG2 FW (was previously running XXIE7)
Pros
– IU faster, no doubt
– I’m not an expert but feel that the recorded sound on videos is better
– OperaMini works much better; no more freeze/hang
Cons
– lost widgets and unable to get them/download them from anywhere (wel did not found)
– Battery life was not really a big improvement for me
– Found annoying bug, if I “switch home screen theme” to something else than “Samgung Widgets”,
The four direct function in the botom of the standby screen do not work (Tel/Contacts/Msg/Menu”
– Pressing the botom/left physical buton do not call the callLog apps any more … It only … answers phone calls
– web broser still crashes from time to time

WHAT DaWaBZ94?! you actually claiming that there are more faults with the new firmware than that there are improvements?! damn, you better not install this firmware at all..

say, on samsungomniahd dot com theres a news headline, and the message says that samsung is going to do a re-launch for the samsung omnia hd, where they finalize the product and to make the last improvements and internal changes… so best is not to buy this amazing phone yet, but to wait. they stopped mass production just after the first real launch of it. no release date was given yet.

There are 2 things I really do not like abt this marvel of a phone
– unable to switch from 3G to GPRS or GPRS to 3G without first closing all connection
– when a you start a big download in the s60 web browser it stops when the phone goes standby (wlan cx loss) ! this is really annoying !

hi every one, i have a problem while updating the phone with PC Studio for the new firmware IG2 : the updating starts well but at 27% it stops and the USB connection looses (the phone is no longer connected to the computer) that’s why the update can’t finish. Any solution please ?

danis948: this seems to be a result of the software installed to do the initial firmware update. Using a “clean” machine with Samsung PC Studio 7 has worked for several people (though I’ve not got round to trying it yet).

any have the global date to launch this update

Hi every one

Ive been doing some testing on the new IG2 software

And have found that eithen tho alot of the other bugs have been fix since going to this updat from IE6 the gps is not as good well to be honest its rubbish i was using my garmin the other day that i all ways use normaly when driving along the road you can flick it on and it will find its locate straight away but not any more since ive updated i eithen tried it at home where i always used to get a good gps signal now no more the lock takes ages has any one else come acrossed this must admite i used my phone as a sat nav alot and i am thinking of flashing back to one of the earlier software versions just so i can get a lock quick

hi thanks for that

do you know how to do a hard reset is it *#7370#

its never been right since i have done the update but i did notice when i updated my phone from the old firmware that not everthing got wiped on the phone im gonna hard reset the phone and format the internal memory and the sd card and install everthing again and see what happen perhaps something got its knickers in a twist

Hi All
Ive just completely reset my phone formatted the card and the flash and reinstalled everything and the gps all seems to be working fine now fast as you like lots better

So a valide piont is to format every thing after a software update and start from new

cheers every one

After debranding my I8910 with “I8910_Sweden_Netherlands_Switzerland_Germany_Italy” firmware I couldn’t update my phone. There is simple solution, uninstall all samsung drivers from your pc (go to control panels, go to add or remove programs and uninstall all samsung drivers) restart your pc and install Pc studio one more time. Now you can update your samsung ( be patient sometimes it does not want connect your phone, just disconnect and try one more time). For me works 100%. Regards to for all who take care about this site

hi someone can help me how to upgrade my i8910 firmware to the new XXIG2 my phone is a unlocked phone but my service provider is orange network ok but when my phone start there are no logo of orange…….my software version is I8910XXIDB and customversion is I8910AUTIBD IM in Mauritius……..

Hello
The voice is on very bad sound on call voice.
It is hardware or software problem?
Really bad quality of voice calls :/

hi i am looking 4 that bloke ian who name appeared on sat

hello I wounder wher I can get a new update to my i8910 cuz the realplayer has hung up and cant find media. it looking and dont stop until I stop it. every thing els is ok.

hey all, i have read quite a bit of this page and it seems there is quite a bit wrong with the phone. i have an I8910 and i think the software version is i8910BVIE7 and the software version date is 18/05/09. i tried using the samsung suite disk to update the phone but it says its not compatable. the selling point for the phone was the HD recording, i tried copying the videos to my computer but when i play them the sound doesnt work and the video looks like something from the 80s. i dont know what a secret menu is or what AAC firmare is. if any one has any advice on how to play recorded videos with sound on a computer for a computer simpleton like me i would really appreciate it. thanks guys.

Yeh i had the same problem as james atkin every time i go to updated on the samsung pc studio it says device isnt compatable even though the the cd came in the box .help please????

Hi there. After all problems that I passed to connect the phone probably, so windows 7 would recognize it, I’ve been trying so hard to get the damn update but it just doesn’t work! first it didn’t connect to the sever but suddenly it did, then everything goes fine until 27% of total process!!! I have my firewall and anti virus off as well. any suggestion? This phone has been a big problem from the first day

now I updated pc suite but I’m in another mess, it says the phone is not connected! I hate this phone!!!

My kid pulled out the cable while i was flashing my i8910. Now i have a picture of a phone and a computer with a blue warning triangle between them. and cant get rid of it so i can start again.
Any know about this??

Non of the buttons do anything, so cant get it into boot mode,
Took the battery out and still the same.
Soon as i turn it on , theres a picture of phone and a computer with a blue warning triangle between them.
cant get into boot mode, cant do anything except take the battery out which doesnt do anything either.
