I8910SERII2 Firmware released. 3D task manager added!
3D task manager is now in firmware I8910SERII2

3D task manager is now in firmware I8910SERII2

Thanks to our forum member Digitalhell we had the chance to test I8910SERII2 Firmware today. This firmware is dated 3rd of September 09 so is brand new. While its localised for the Russian market, It is unbranded and contains English. (all i8910 firmwares have English in them by default) But this is the firmware people have been waiting for I think. The 3d task manager is now included and can be run by holding down the menu key. (See the screen shot above of the task manager)

What we can report on that’s new from our testing:

  • 3D task manager added, (Something the Italian IH* firmware promised)
  • Browser stop bug removed – This was present in IG2
  • Full landscape Qwerty keyboard has been slightly improved (a few mm’s more spacing) Its much better!!
  • Around 145mb free ram now. The new task Manager uses about 20 mb

The Official change log has been added here: Samsung i8910 Firmware i8910SERII2 changelog Thanks to  sev7en

    To William!

    Download the Route 66 here: http://www.66.com/samsung/index.php?cid=US&act=2&cat=2&scat=2

    Then you may need to install the Route 66 Sync: http://www.66.com/samsung/index.php?cid=UK&act=1

    On the opened page, under the pictures, you will have three sections: “Features”, “Description” and “Downloads”. Go to the “Downloads” section and save onto your PC the ROUTE 66 Sync file (122 MB).

    Once saved, run the file (double click) and follow the installation steps.

    2. After the installation, connect your device to the PC the following way:

    - for Windows Mobile/Windows CE devices: open the navigation application onto your device and connect it via the USB cable to the PC. Then synchronise the device with the Microsoft ActiveSync component (for computers running on Windows XP) or with the Windows Mobile Device Center (for computers running on Windows Vista).

    - for Symbian or Samsung SHP devices: connect the device to the PC in “Data transfer” or “Mass storage” mode. All the applications must be closed on the device.

    3. Open the ROUTE 66 Sync application on your PC, if the program was open before, close it and open it again to ensure a correct connection. Wait until your device is recognized and indicated in the right upper corner of the ROUTE 66 Sync window.

    4. Click on the “Sign in” tab. If you do not have a ROUTE 66 account, please go to “File – Create account” in order to create one. Follow the instructions on the screen.

    5. Once you have logged in, please click on the “ROUTE 66 Store” tab under the “Store” section. The content of the online ROUTE 66 Store is displayed. Go to the section “Maps – Road maps” and choose the country you want to download the map for.

    6. Press the “Buy for free” button and the selected map will be added to your shopping cart. Then select “Checkout” and “Next”.

    7. A window will open indicating first the download to the PC and afterwards the transfer to the device.

    Good Luck!

    Hi Shane.
    Are you aware that the screen requires a double tap on any screen off the main 3 screens. eg: 1 tap to go into messaging but 2 taps to enter new message or inbox or drafts etc.

    If you decided to update to italian firmware for the aac update then simply use the samsung suite to update to the italian version of this firmware. Blisteringly fast and a huge improvement so far.

    Yeah, i’m aware of the double tapping. I had a N97. Its very weird. It’s as if part of the screen just becomes numb (i can tap other parts)… or if i tap position X, position Y is clicked, so it’s really weird. And whats weirder is if i rub my fingers around the screen it “resets” and sometimes works. I noticed it’s not happening as often today as it did yesterday, but still happens occasionally. My phone is not from italy, it’s a serbian version (doesn’t include AV cable)… could that + the Russian BIOS flash have anything to do with it?

    Apparently this firmware version does not have scandinavian accents either (or if it has, they are behind some symbol buttons etc.), so this is not the version I have been waiting for.

    Still waiting to see something like this with a native öäå-keyboard. Still going with the original firmware that came bundled with the phone.
