Now, if I missed something in searching for any Bell ICS related questions please forgive me (noob).
I have been trying to find out if its available for me ( No sure where to look in KIES ) I have looked for updates VIA about Phone etc and nothing. I would like to update it but I am not able to find any help. ( As I mentioned if I didnt find a thread my bad I assure you it wont happen again )
Feeling can't get unlocked in a short time, so I return my Bell Galaxy S to future shop yesterday. Before return, of course, I reset it to factory setting. But after that, when I tried the GPS, it won't work well.If you do a Google search "galaxy s gps issue", you'll find quite a few complaining about the US version of galaxy s gps problem. But not sure our Bell version could have the same issue too?Here are my steps to reproduce the problem:
1) Do a factory reset.
2) manually delete some directories in the internal SD, since the factory reset didn't do it.
3) dial "*#*#1472365#*#*", it will take u to the GPS debug mode. Tap the "get position", it will try to connect gps and calculate the position.Before resetting, it was quite fast, in 5-10 seconds it will give you the position info.But after resetting, the position info never shown, though at the bottom those satellites info still shown (about 8 of them shown). But very strange, the position info not come out.
4) So I tried reset to factory setting again. then try step 3).Still the same result.
I was wondering if any dir/file was deleted by me in the internal SD which could be the cause of the gps issue? But it's not logical. First the the "factory resetting" is suppose to do everything it needs to set it to original state (I did two resetting). Second, I guess those system apps are installed in the internal flash memory, instead of internal SD.But as those satellites info still there, so I assume the hardware still working, while it could be something wrong with the testing software?And I didn't try other GPS apps, like map or navigon. I don't want to set everything up since I reset it for return.Though, I really like galaxy s, and thinking of get it again once 3rd part unlock is available. But this GPS issue really worries me.So folks, could you please try the same thing and test the GPS. If more people can reproduce it, then it will be real problem, though I hope mine is the special case?
When I get new email, my phone rings a bell sound and vibrates. I am running ICS. How can I disable this (i.e., silent operation)?

The price looks like it's going to be $300, regardless of contract length. Right now it's retailing at independent stores for about $400... do you guys think the retail price is going to drop after the Bell release?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI updated my SG2 to ICS v4.0.3 last night, and everything went smoothly with no problems to report. Apart from the fact the install seemed to delete 2 of my 3 email accounts that were set up 1 Hotmail account and 1 AOL account.I've set up the Hotmail account no problem, but for some reason I just cannot get the AOL one set up. I input my email address and password and it progresses to the 'retrieving information' screen but then I keep getting the error message Sign in incorrect - The attempt to sign in failed due to an invalid User Name, Password or incorrect settings. Please check blah blah blah....try again blah blah blah Now I've sucessfully logged in to the email account via the internet (just in case I was been a numpty and entering the incorrect password) and the details are all correct. I've even tried changing my password on-line then logging in again on my phone with the new one, but I still get the smae error message. I never had this problem at all with Gingerbread.

View 9 Replies View RelatedNew to the forums and looking for some opinions regarding my SGS2. recently updated to the latest O2 firmware (2.3.5) and ever since my phone has been very unstable. It reboots at random (has done so at least twice today just sitting on my desk doing nothing!) and I also have issues when plugged in via usb (loses connection whilst copying music over, can't expand storage, etc). Just wondering if anybody else has had similar issues with O2 Firmware, or if that's just a coincidence and I actually have a faulty handset??

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have tried numerous times over the last couple of days to upgrade my SGS2 to ICS. After I realised connecting to Kies Air wouldn't work, I downloaded and installed the latest version of Kies onto my laptop.The first time I tried to download via USB, the phone connected to Kies but said I could not upgrade unless my battery was fully charged. Odd, as it would be charging while linked to my laptop during upgrading anyway, but I thought I would try again in the morning when my phone was fully charged from overnight charging.
So I tried this morning when charged to 100%, and later this evening when half charged, and Kies refuses to recognise my phone. It keeps saying connecting, connecting, then I get a message saying it cannot connect. I have disconnected and reconnected umpteen times to no avail. I have run the troubleshooter a few times and reinstalled the Kies drivers two or three times. Again, to no avail.I have seen various threads on here about USB debugging etc. and I have tried to tick then re-untick that, but no joy there.I'm starting to think it would be easier just to do without this bloody update and just wait for the SGS3 to come out.
I have had an SGS and now this week have an SGSII. When upgrading, the Android OS is a pain compared to other OS systems, in that is wipes all installed apps and configuration each time. Upgrade a version of Windows for example, and it does not lose all your config. Is there any app or restore method that will put everything you had installed and configured as it was? Otherwise it takes Hrs to get phone back to correct state each time.
View 7 Replies View RelatedSo I connected my Bell Vibrant to my Win7 X64 PC via Bluetooth, and all sorts of funny issues happen when attempting to control dialing from my PC, and use my computer as a speakerphone. To begin with, the "Hangup" button doesn't work, plus whenever I press the "Connect" button to "Use this computer as a headset or speakerphone for calls on your phone (Galaxy S)," the phone starts dialing the number written in the "Make a call to this number:" field (when there's a number written there--otherwise it would start dialing the latest dialed number) without my having to press the "Connect" button. Ain't that funny? Anyone else going through this?

View 4 Replies View RelatedKies (2.3.2.12064_9) stated that a firmware upgrade was available so I started the process. The files were downloaded and the connection to the phone established. All seemed to be going to plan. Then the phone dropped out of Kies and is trying to reconnect. The computer flashed up a message that the device was not recognised. The phone is still attached to the USB and has the android icon with downloading...do not turn off t Is the phone already disconnected..?What should I do to recover? Can I recover?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI upgraded my GS2 from Gingerbread to ICS. This was an OTA upgrade. I simply downloaded the upgrade and clicked "go ahead". All went ok, except for one thing. Every few minutes I get a rather annoying little pop up message which reads:
Software update
Device update succeeded
I've tried resetting the phone and so on, but it keeps popping up every xx minutes.
