hi..,

as per my knowledge... samsung galaxy 3...is discontinued...:(:(

so there is not going to be an official GB update...:(
[Galaxy 3 General] rickslick:
If Samsung is going to release gingerbread wouldn't they have made some official news statement......Samsung would love to brag about the fact that they are still supporting an old phone...

This is what i got from samsung support.So i guess no 2.3 in plan..

[Galaxy 3 General] haree:

Well I still have some hope. Check this - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Mini

As I quote -

Features

The Galaxy Mini is a 3.5G smartphone that offers quad-band GSM and announced with two-band HSDPA (900/2100 MHz) at 7.2 Mbit/s. The display is a 3.14-inch (80 mm) TFT LCD capacitive touchscreen of vertical QVGA (240x320) resolution. There is also a 3-megapixel camera, capable of recording videos at QVGA (320x240) resolution. The Galaxy Mini comes with a 1.2 Ah Li-ion battery.[1] The Galaxy Mini runs on Android 2.2 Froyo.

Galaxy Mini is presented as a entry-level smartphone, and is (as of 13 May 2011) one of the cheapest Android phones around.

In May 2011, Samsung announced[2] that the Galaxy Mini (along with other Galaxy models) will get an official upgrade to Android 2.3. As of November 2011 the rollout is still in progress. If voiding the warranty is not a concern then a leaked upgrade can be applied already.

I hope the roll out the update for us.

[Galaxy 3 General] im.prem:
Yes am the same guy and the news is still on. yday i contacted the technical team again and they said it will be available very soon and in final phase of testing and they the centre have already used it on some phones.

Either they are using Marcels CM7 and they are fools or either the report is true we will get it soon.

and i think the later is true.

Its not a troll. i just shared a piece of information i got from the samsung tech team on phone.

In my opinion, they will forget an "old" galaxy phones (like galaxy 3).
[Galaxy 3 General] Gurjot95:
They don't count Galaxy 3 in galaxy series.
[Galaxy 3 General] macalino22:
X8 has 168mb+ ram(correct me here please)but it really runs smoothly because it has a better proccesor and a better GPU (FIMG vs. Adreno 200)it also has a HVGA resolution and ours only have WQVGA (480x320 vs 400x240)also x10 mini has the same processor and GPU as the X8 and thus only having i think 2.4 inches screen.QVGA for it is good enough.and also.the ones that they are gonna be updating is the 2011 lineup.which practically kicks our phones ass with 1Ghz Snapdragon Processors.
[Galaxy 3 General] :
"The Gingerbread update will be rolled out for all the Galaxy series phones, which will include in Samsung Galaxy Fit, Samsung Galaxy Pop, Samsung Galaxy S and many others. These updates will also be released in India too."

Sounds like it could be coming to our phone as well. :) If they mean "galaxy series" then it should be for sure...

---------- Post added at 11:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:22 PM ----------

Not sure but this looks like it's the update that came here in europe in may or june 2011 which included Samsung Galaxy S, Gio, Ace, Fit and mini. Didn't come for Galaxy 3 unfortunately. But as i said, don't know if it is the same thing...
[Galaxy 3 General] :
Maybe Samsung will give us the update when al lot of people is asking in Samsung Contact Us for the update! If EVERYONE is sending a mail to Samsung and ask for the update, then they maybe will be tired and maybe give us what we want! I would not like to be stalked for an update for a phone, so I would give it anyway! They do not want dissatisfied customers?;)
[Galaxy 3 General] :
I think they would rather sell you a Galaxy S II actually. :) Apart from that it simply doesn't make sense for Samsung to update such an old phone. Gotta accept that fact.
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
Better they do so :) or if they want to silence us for a year a galaxy nexus ;)
[Galaxy 3 General] maverickgenius:
Every time you email Samsung, it will be received by different guys in the support team so what you said is not gonna happen :-)
[Galaxy 3 General] pankajgalaxy:
Guys they even not gived the 2.2.2, how do you thing that they will give you GB. we just need to support for CM7.
[Galaxy 3 General] bscraze:
They did give us froyo(2.2)
[Galaxy 3 General] alen1901:
Yes but for some phones there were 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 releases.

[Galaxy 3 General] ak700:
As soon as Marcel is done with completing his cm7 port, I am going to show that to Samsung service to prove the fact that they underestimated our phones and we are better off without their and other S#IT.

2050 you said :P hahaha lol:P

we are all patiently waiting for marcells cm7 release and after that i think we will all be a bit more happy :P...and also if you follow ics and cm7 threads you could notice that some parts of marcells port are ported to ics with modifications....and you said galaxy 3 is peace of junk....:P....well....Think again, mate...:D...

or make more profit for samsung....buy sgs2....they'll be happy to rip you off.....:D...and within a year you will say again: "this sgs2 is a piece of junk" :P

Nah i didnt. It was junk when my battery went bad though... now it can last 20-30+ hrs with the new batt :)
[Galaxy 3 General] iuli2011:
So what's that special in Galaxy 3, besides the fact that it has Bluetooth v3.0 with A2DP which i cannot fully experience as i use usb connection not bluetooth when connecting the phone to pc?

So compare Galaxy 3 with Sony's X8 and you will see that it's a piece of junk. I mean X8 has a better GPU and the video is VGA at 30 FPS. I compared with x8 because in other threads it was said that xperia phones will get ICS.

So in other words on x8 you can play NFS Shift and you get no bull**** white graphics like in our ****ty phone, and you can take videos with much smoother quality than on galaxy 3 (QVGA@15fps :mad: vs VGA@30fps :eek:).

Don't tell me that galaxy 3 has a bigger display(3.2 inches) than x8 (3 inches) because that assessment is faulty. How much can a 0.2 inch make a difference when the resolution is so different (240 x 400 pixels on G3 to 320 x 480 pixels on X8).

In other words i can say that X8 deserve to get an upgrade but out phone deserve Froyo and that is that. So don't expect ICS on our phone from samsung as they want to make as buy their new models with ICS - that's their marketing strategy. :mad:

i didn't say that i hate my phone (wish it had more features than it has) i just wanted to point out that it lacks in hardware performance and Samsung will never intend in giving an update to ICS. I wanted to show that all of you who believe that it will get the slightest attention from Samsung ,as to get ICS OFFICIAL FIRMWARE, are mistaken. :(

As for the developers out there i really enjoy their work. Right now i am using DutchMods ROM V5.0 and love it. :D

My phone runs pretty good on Froyo. On the other side the proof that it runs well under CM7 has yet to be brought, note that it's still in Alpha state with many things not working yet. Not to mention that that guy is doing it as a private person in his spare time, meaning he actually takes about 100 times longer than a company paying several people for customizations of the software and stuff. Mentioning payment, i said it before, i got this phone for 169 €, 2 months later it was available here for 129 € or so, it's quite an inexpensive phone, and you think with that prize Samsung will be investing more time and money into developping further software versions? No way. Maybe a new 2.3 update will prove me wrong but i would be very surprised tbh.
[Galaxy 3 General] m1trand1r:
mate, when i boot up marcells CM7 it runs like a charm...and now that he fixed bluetooth...and wifi-ap...jeez...what else proof do we need...everyone runnin' CM 7 on our G3 has good experience....almost :P

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] aznkenshin:
Hey guys,

This is my first time trying to get CM7 into my device. I have followed the "Samsung Galaxy S II (AT&T): Full Update Guide" precisely.

BUT I'M STUCK AT STEP #4 of "Flashing CyanogenMod". This is because I can NOT use the power button or this "trackball" to select ANY OF THE OPTIONS WHATSOEVER!

I'm very nervous right now. I have to help out at my friend's wedding tomorrow, and I need to get this phone working ASAP.

Oh, I should also let you know of the problematic state my phone is in

- It can't make calls, when doing "Software Update" it says DM initialization is not ready. Check Network or SIM card.

- My back soft touch key does not work whatsoever. Touching it does nothign. Instead, the Home button acts as the back key... and it's lost its Home functionality.

Yeah, it's unusable, and I'm very apprehensive about this.

Please.... HELP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tysj:
Try this kernel instead. I noticed that the directions in the CM7 nightly thread link to the i9100 kernel. Not sure if it may be the problem but that would be my guess.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] aznkenshin:
I'm sorry for multi-posting (will delete when this problem is solved), but I can't seem to find the CM7 zip file! It's called: update-cm-7.1.0-Galaxys2ATT-signed.zip and I put it in the root of the microSD. I'm going to recheck to see if it's there...

UPDATE: It is there. It just didn't recognize it. My hypothesis is that the file name is too long? I'm renaming it to cm7.zip and seeing if CWM will recognize it.

UPDATE: Wow I'm dumb. It's there... all I had to do was keep scrolling down!

UPDATE: CM7 IS ALIVE! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[HTC Titan] absolute85:
Hello, I'm just wondering how long does your Titan last and how do you find battery life. I read all over the internet a lot of people very happy with Titan's battery, but mine is quite bad. I'd like to understand whether it's just my phone which has problems or it's normal.

How long does your phone last? Could you describe the average use you do during this time (do you have gps, bluetooth, wifi, push-mail and stuff on or off? How many calls, text messages, web browsing, games and such?).

Because I just realized that I can use it with all options on and xbox live and get from 100% to 10% in an hour and a half... Is it normal?
[HTC Titan] 7thSense:
My Titan lasts two full days (around 48 hours) of normal use. I never use Bluetooth but wifi etc it always on.

Playing games drains the battery quickly so I often hook it up to power when I play gfx intense games.

Overall I am very pleased with the bettery life of the Titan. I get about the same usage with the Titan as I did with the Mozart. The bigger battery clearly makes up for the bigger screen.
[HTC Titan] absolute85:
Ok, games drain battery quickly, but less than two hours is too quick, in my opinion... That was why I was asking for other experiences. Thanks for your answer anyway.
[HTC Titan] adesonic:
I leave bluetooth and wifi on all the time, do about 2 hours worth of web browsing per day, listen to about 30 minutes of music per day, send a few texts, about 10 mins of voice calls and sync all accounts every hour, battery lasts me comfortably a whole day. HOWEVER if I am in a poor reception area for cellular, my battery life is significantly degraded because the phone is continuously hunting for a signal, this has been a problem on every phone I have ever owned including my nokia 3310!
