Checked on Kies today to see if there was an official update to my current Gingerbread 2.3.3 JVO
No Android update but Kies updated to 2.0.2.11071_128
How new is this?
It has been my experience that Kies updates precede an Android update by about two weeks. Of course I may be wrong and it's just happenstance but here's hiping...
I think officail 2.3.4 ROM is very near to be released on kies for some region

I updated my Kies earlier today.There is a link between such an update and the release of a new firmware,however insignificant might be the change.For instance,we had an update of Kies in these parts just a couple of weeks or so ago followed immediately by a FW update in which only the modem was changed!

I have updated my Galaxy S to XXJPO lately and there are two things I am wondering about (both related to updates)
1/ I don't have an update option on the phone anymore, is that to be expected?
2/ KIES obviously has no update for me but then again, might be normal since the firmware might actually be the latest official?
Can anyone please respond to that for me? Thanks!
Well you don't have any update, so it can't show any for you.

JPO is 2.2 Froyo, the latest official one for your handset, so you are correct, no updates.

Thanks for this, but do you know why there is no update option on the phone anymore, do you have the same on yours?
Thanks,

I have been holding out for Samsung official gingerbread release.
Now I kies got updated to a new version so it looks promising.
Just after the update i cannot start kies on my win7.
Just says kies stopped working.
Anyone have the same problem?
Are there any other good roms based on 2.3.3?
There's a deodexed version of the 2.3.3 jvb available to download from the dev forums and stock versions on SamFirmware you can flash with Odin or heimdall.
Who needs kies?

Complete removal of Kies may fix the problem . Reboot and install latest Kies from Samsung .
Kies only updates firmware when the server has the firmware for your phones product code .

Succesfully flashed JVB from samfirmwares!
Everything looks smooth. Except the quadrant score is lower than score in 2.2.1 version.
2.3.3 (JVB) = 927
2.2.1 = 1188
Almost looks like the file system lag is back!?
Do you have any good suggestions for rom if I want to replace touchwiz?
launcher seems easy to replace. but how to replace phone and contacts app?
Darkkys rom seems to be popular in this forum?
Does it come in a stable gingerbread version yet?

Quadrant Scores are nothing buddy!!! User experience on how snappy the phone is and how smooth the animations are flowin.....that's what counts!!!
Replace touchwiz with either GoLauncher or Zeam...these are the best as per me...

But that is not official firmware that came with the phone and not using official firmware invalidates warranty . So users choice and users ask for original firmware not stock rom .
Of course all us really clever users who understand Odin hacking Flashing and building all have a back up of the original rom to recover . Dont you .

when i connect my i9000 to my pc kies shows me--> see att #1
shuld i update? or can i stay on my current fw --> see att #2
choice is yours, both firmwares are Gingerbread, i assume the one kies is offering is a more updated, bug-less version.
If you are happy with stock ROMs why not update ??
I say go for the JVH.
Might as well have fun while it lasts rite?
i suppose i will lose all of my apps... right...?
The choice is yours but yes I would let kies upgrade you to the latest version for your region. Why not?
Main points to note:
1. Kies does NOT wipe your apps or settings. But its good practice to copy rom via cwm or backup using titanium in any case.
2. It WILL remove any root and mods you've applied though.
3. Important - remove any lagfix you might have applied first
Good luck

I just a saw a post in drip saying anybody with a note can update? It gives all the instructions etc so cab i or cant i? It mentions something about doing it through kies or ota and you dont need to be rooted.
Can someone break this down for me.
Cheers

If the ICS update is released for your country (or specifically the origin of your Note) you can update through kies or OTA officially
If it's not you can also use PC Odin to flash the update and you don't need root for that
However, I advice you wait a little bit longer until the issue with the kernel bug in ICS update gets resolved so you don't end up with a fried Note by accident
hey
so are you saying if the update is available for my country its fine to update, or just wait until the bug is fixed. cause the ota one or through kies is meant to be official. i dont fancy flashing any roms through odin or whatever
cheers

Yes, you don't need to root to be upgrade to ICS. And Yes, you can wait until your country OTA or KIES available - Yes, it is official in this way.
But... "official" kernel still having a serious bug which will damage your phone. So, the best is wait until the bug fixed.
U dont need root to install the official german ics. But its nice 2 have root and cwm for backups etc. However, after installing ics german i didnt feel it was worth the hype. Touchwizz makes it feel exactly the same as my old gingerbread. So sitting around waiting for ur official ics fir ur country is useless. Do what i did, flash cm9 rom and feel ics like google intended it!
Just now i got new "Software Update-Firmware downloaded" ...does anyone know what is this about? Last time they removed the ripple effect with the update which made me very angry, so i'm not eager to hit the update button yet I have unbranded mini XXAMB2
It's the AMD3 version update.
I've just installed it and it's only a stability update. No new features/options as far as I can see.
bump well the phone is working with no problem at all with the AMB2, i havent had any issue with anything, but i guess the update is there for a reason
thx for the info @k.dimitrovski (fala)
Well...my has DEVICE STATUS: CUSTOM!
I installed stock recovery (running stock rooted) using stock cwm zip.
No luck. Not even with triangle away
