Today, am very happy about update galaxy because it has new application to down load from the internet explorer easily. I would like to say kindheartedly thanks for Neal who written this great article on here.
Where did u download the file from?
export to sd card option is missing from my samsung galaxy s.. export to sim card is only available. can u tell me how to export my contacts to my sd card as back up.
Today when i connected my Galaxy S 9000, I was prompted to update the firmware from CSC:JPS to CSC:JV6. I have tried numerous times, but on each attempt the upgrade is disconnected and returns again to the upgrade message page. Tried numerious times, after uninstalling Kies and reinstalling, switch on switch off, etc, but of no use. hence thought of writing to you to know if you have any solution for this.
