i need firmware for GT i5700 or upadate cupcake to 2.1
pc studio 7 does not recognize the phone. Any tips?
I have the same problem. i ant find any answer on the net. somebody tried it yet?
I bought this in Dubai, UAE. Doesn't have Android Market even though Manual says that. Calling Samsung support and they are not equipped to support t. All most all apps crashes always. Never ever will I buy Samsung or Google phones. They are also not providing any updates to 2.1 also. PC doesn't recognize USB after installing some apps, you have to reset the phone for USB to be detected by PC. I am not using the phone now, gone back to my Nokia 5310 which is far better.
1. There are only basic apps in this phone as a basic Nokia phone (not smartphone) has.
2. Android market was not there in the phone whereas the manual says install apps from market
3. USB mass storage is not found and has to follow certain steps to get it recognized by system. Whereas on other phone it gets recognized easily.
4. Almost all of the Apps that I found from internet and installed kept on crashing always including the Google applications.
5. USB will not be recognized after installing 5 to 10 apps, the phone keeps on saying charging (if charge is less)/king sound. I have to reset to factory setting to get the USB working.... See More
6. Samsung was unresponsive even after several attempts to get help from them.
7. Most of the apps were not installable as the OS was 1.5.
8. I tried contacting Google, they were also like dead meat.
I think the basic Iphone is far better than Iphone in all sense even though there is no flash support and not being open. This was my first ever smartphone. I will never ever buy an Android phone so also any phone from Samsung. I was an ardent Google fan because of their Google search, apps, pack etc. But here I felt cheated by Google and Samsung. Google is making a fool of customers by saying OS is open source and the app suite is closed. I feel if they charge some fee for the apps, I am ready to pay. I have repacked the phone and is happily using my Nokia 5310 which was thinking of replacing with I5700. I will be sending this "Great Phone" to Samsung at my cost for them to keep in their showcase as a symbol of best customer service.
I have upgraded my i5700 to android 2.1 but facing problems in GPRS coonnections. Any suggestions?
i want to change my firmwer version 1.5 to 2.1
