The update is available starting today and is meant to upgrade all Samsung Galaxy S 4G devices to Android 2.3 Gingerbread, software version T959VUVKJ6.Īlthough the carrier does not offer more details on the rest of the improvements and new features included with the update, it confirms that Galaxy S 4G owners who upgrade their devices will benefit from Google Security Patch, Camera enhancements, as well as Wi-Fi enhancements.
However, T-Mobile informs Samsung Galaxy S 4G owners that this upgrade will not be sent to devices OTA (over the air), instead they should download and install the latest version of Samsung Kies desktop software and connect their smartphones to the PC. Well, it looks like the long-awaited Android 2.3 Gingerbread update has finally arrived and is now available for download. To fix it, navigate to the menu at the top of the screen and select “install driver” from the list.It took Samsung almost a year to develop the Gingerbread software update for T-Mobile USA's Samsung Galaxy S 4G, which was released back in February. This is typically expressed by a “please connect phone” error message on the display. If you are on the list of working devices, it’s likely the USB drivers.
Otherwise your device may not be on the compatible list. Try temporarily disabling the antivirus protection while installing the program on your computer and see if that helps. Since we don’t have it running yet, you must look for other sources. Of course, after you have Kies you can use it for a similar service. Helium is great for backing up the market apps and syncing the device. Those wanting something more can try out Helium from the Google Play Store. You can make backups using Google native services such as Google Drive or another cloud service such as G Cloud backup. The internal memory doesn’t get wiped, only the ROM itself is wiped during a factory reset.
You can store the current data on the internal memory or an external memory source such as SD cards if your mobile has that option. All data is sensitive and if you need a factory reset it will wipe the data. Now the mobile and the program can successfully communicate.Īs usual, we prefer our readers to back up the data before starting the installation steps. Once found, you must connect the phone to the computer suing the USB wire. If you can’t find it try checking the wire coming from the charger. You likely use the cable as part of the phone charger every day. Once downloaded, you must create your user account and find the USB cable that comes out of the box when your phone is new. Therefore, you ought to make sure you have enough space on the computer for the installation. Moreover, the total file size is just over 40 MB’s.
However, the Mini variant from the source here is only working with Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.
People can find the “big daddy” version available for Windows and Apple’s Mac OS X. You ought to make sure the battery has 100% charge before starting to use the program after you finish downloading. Unlike most of our guides here on site that rely on USB charging or a battery half full, the Kies Mini relies on a fully charged battery to properly run. It doesn’t extend out to the traditional handsets all over the Samsung range. In addition to offering fewer services, the Miniature version is also for fewer devices. Even those who choose to update the firmware manually by using the files available from sources such as Sam Mobile, still use Kies as a place they can find the up-to-date USB drivers. The miniature variant is used mainly for software updates for mobile phones. In other words, we are shortening what Kies is capable of doing. Furthermore the folks from Sammy created a “Kies Mini’ for offering a watered-down version of the services. With it, we can back up and sync our devices, use the app for software updates and transferring music, video and other media from our computers to the smartphones. Samsung Kies is a program that provides solely for Sammy-based phones and tablets.
