okay. what did you do first? can you give me a rundown on what you did? so:

1. plug Galaxy Ace to pc using usb chord.

2. now what?

3. will it prompt which to use? as mass storage or use kies?

4. or will it automatically run kies and look for its drivers then have the interface of kies?

5. did you turned on the usb debugging thingy? don't know what it is.

Samsung Galaxy Ace gets better everyday I use it

i don't actually know what happened but i think the longer i used my ace, the more it became better. yesterday i was using wifi for about 3 - 4 hours. exploring the market, looking for new apps and games and installing them. my battery went down for about 40%. basing from the battery icon at the top right. earlier, i used wifi with the same number of hours and the same actions but with downloading and installing the database to my dictionary and it only went down for i think 10% or 15%.

i don't know what made my ace become better especially in my battery and in the performance.

1. was it probably it was because everytime i charge it was off?

2. was it probably, i charge it first off, then after charge turned it on, used it a little after 10% - 15% battery went down, charged it again until finished charging. what do you call this again? continuous charging?

3. was it probably the juice defender that helped me out?

guys! one more thing. when you charge your phone, does it signify that it is full charge? does it tell you that it is full? or you just see the battery icon being full, then that's full for you? :eek:

hello, im from philippines too, just had my galaxy ace replaced from samsung sm megamall this evening. they've replaced my galaxy ace for a new galaxy ace because i refused to have my galaxy ace repaired because its not even a month old so they just gave me anew one fresh from the box. anyway, after that i went to the firmware update corner still inside samsung store and the programmer said our phone doesn't have any updates yet and they dont have any news regarding that... just sharing..

by the way, the reason why i went to samsung is because i bricked my galaxy ace by using the rom manager hehe and i just made up a story about running the factory reset then the phone didn't respond anymore and thats it lol they wont even detect if its bricked because its our fault lol unless it has physical damage on it..

Guys, can you help me with this? Please! I haven't plugged my phone on my pc yet. How and what to do.

1. plug Galaxy Ace to pc using usb chord.

2. now what?

3. will it prompt which to use? as mass storage or use kies?

4. or will it automatically run kies and look for its drivers then have the interface of kies?

5. did you turned on the usb debugging thingy? don't know what it is.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] yes456:
can you please tell me where i can get that firmware. :confused:

how i can upload that firmware in my phone.??

Thanks
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] xfactordeixe:
I launch first the kies software and when its done.

I connect my ace via usb and

it automatically turned the usb debugging and the mass storage on.

Then, when connected, a notification will appear saying that my phone has a firmware update..

and so i click on it. and it will download the update..

after downloading, nothing happens.

my phone just disconnect and then it will reconnect and asking again if i will update the firmware. ..

i tried also to uninstall and install the kies.. and the same thing happen. ..

help naman.. if na-try nyo na magupdate using kies. .. my Kies software version is 2.0.0.11032_12. .. thanks. .

Anyone successful in installing OpenVPN?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] sahilkhurana:
You just need Kies installed on your system and can upgrade from DDKA7 to DDKC1 (India). Definite improvement in terms of speed and battery life !!

Make sure USB Debugging is on (Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging )
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mr_afad:
why there's still no separate section for Ace?

definitely not bcos it is new,

there's newer phones that havent launch yet already got their own section,

but why not Ace?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] pravarthegreatest:
Could you please tell in detail the improvements you have seen in DDKC1 compared to DDKA7..Is the wifi bug(wifi error seen many times) solved in the new firmware?Also which version of Kies did u use to upgrade and how much time did it take...

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] iamLance:
dude! i just checked earlier at kies and it didn't prompt me of any updates. it said that mine's the latest. what's your firmware anyway? mine is dxkc1. by the way, how to unplug? is there any safely remove device or whatever? is it correct that i disconnected to kies and directly unplug my phone to the computer?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] sahilkhurana:
I haven't explored much but 2 improvements that i see are:

1. Speed: Phone feels slightly faster than before

2. Battery life: Battery life has been extended. I guess the sleep mode current has come down.

3.Kies version : 2.0.0.11032_12. It will download the new FW and hence would depend upon connection speed. The overall process should take arnd 15 mins on 1Mbps line

question regarding my samsung ace

I really dunno what happened but my wifi icon disappeared. I tried to turn on and turn off my phone but it's not appearing but when I'm trying to use my usb thether or hotspot the icon is showing? is there anyone can help me? and can the firmware upgrade will fix it?. I want my WiFi icon comes back..
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mynewuser:
What will be your current battery time?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] sahilkhurana:
I just put it on charge. The battery level was 50%.

I must confess that I was sparingly using my phone as I was on roaming.

With about 30 min of voice calls, few SMSes, some Wifi(10-20min), No edge/gprs/3g it lasted for 2.5 days (50% battery consumed)

I guess thats an improvement as earlier even in standby it didn't last for so long.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mynewuser:
I think you should redo your calibration. Quite number of people show it success extend their HP battery life.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] pravarthegreatest:
Thanks for your reply.Please tell whether the wifi bug(wifi error shown) has been solved in this firmware or not?And any other bug you came across in DDKC1?

Also will upgrading FW delete the apps or not?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] jkgomez69:
Halu :D

what do i do first flash to the newr version or root first???... :p
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] peeter123:
New version of course. Flashing a new version will undo the rooting process.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] jkgomez69:
tnx dud :D...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] sahilkhurana:
Wifi Bug never bothered me consistently. So it is hard to tell if it is never going to show up on this FW or not. So far on DDKA7, it has not affected me. Haven't faced any bug till date.

Upgrading will not delete apps. It will unroot the system and apps which require root access will not work !

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] 2ma:
does the kc1 have the annoying freeze problem too?

when the phone freezes,and i have to take the battery out to get it work.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] vertcam9:
I never encountered this issue even with the old firmware xxxKA9 and with the new one xxxKC1. This maybe an issue with your phone or try removing/changing the memory card it might be faulty causing your phone to freeze.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] vertcam9:
the only changes (in terms of settings) i see with the new xxxKC1 firmware was the Settings>Wireless and Networks>Mobile Networks>Network Mode. Before the default was only GSM, now it is GSM/WCDMA (auto) and there is options to put it on either mode only.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] vertcam9:
hmmm, i'm not sure actually. Android is maintain by Google, the Android that we get from our Manufacturers are somewhat modified to fit their requirements. So getting a firmware update does not necessarily mean that it was from Google, it might just be an update on the manufacturers side.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] vertcam9:
Ok, if you still face the issue even after replacing the memory card, i would recommend you bring it in for samsung service, demand for a replacement of the unit as it is still in warranty.

Guys,i have an indian firmware - S5830DDKA7

I am really looking forward to flash the S5830XXKC1 with CSC-S5830SERKB3

OR the S5830XWKB7 with MULTI-CSC-OXXKB6

1.Which of these is beter and what are the changes in performance/features

compared to each other and to mine (jan 2011 ver)

2.Is it ok to falsh a european firmware since i live in India?

3.Can i back up my old firmware (like saving the present bios file before flashing a new one on a pc Mother board), so that i can re-install it if anything goes wrong?

4.Is it worth updating?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] alvinbam2728:
i think its ok to flash your phone to a European firmware even though you live in India or elsewhere because ive tried to install the firmwares of other continent and it all works in my SGA without problems, by the way i live in manila philippines.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] 2ma:
no frezze so far, but i hadn't put any music or pictures back on the sd card, gonna try it today.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] 2ma:
as far as i know S5830XXKC1 is the latest european firmware. it has english in it anyway.

you can remove the crapware if you root the phone,and then install root uninstaller.

but be careful, only remove applications,that you know is crapware, it's very easy to remove system apps too,and then you have to reflash your device
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] 2ma:
it's on samfirmware, and there are the tools for the flash too,and a guide too. It's pretty easy. First it started in some russian language,but I changed it to english,removed the crapware,and now i have it for 2days, and had no freeze, and as far as i noticed, the wifi problem is solved too. but i need to do some further testing.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] 2ma:
the kc1 is the newest, because the version is like a-b-c and then 1-2-3 for the different version. so kb4 --> kb7 --> kc1

i think it's okay, but the european rom's only have european languages in it.

i don't know anything about backup yet, serch the forum,maybe you can find something.

it was worth for me, because the wifi kept disconnecting, and the phone froze from time to time, but it looks the kc1 solved it for me.

Strange behaviour when call is busy

Hi,

I'd like to know if you noticed - strange for me - behaviour of Galaxy Ace when the dialed number is busy.

When a dial a number and it is busy - the phone locks the screen immediately.

To go back to the dialed number and repeat the dialling I must unlock the screen.

Is this a bug or a usual behaviour of Galaxy Ace ?

Thanks for help,

Hi,

There is a difference between lock and turn off.

In my case the phone switches to the lock mode - to go back to the dialer I need to

drag the lock icon to the right.

Any ideas what to do?
