Now that's the only one that i did install and it does say that i am using it on my phone info screen.
I downloaded it using XP. I had to make sure that New Studio PC was not running in the bottom task bar. Left click it to close it.
But when i installed, i still have issues with the battery. I put it on the charger and got it fully charged, then as soon as i pulled it off it was down to 95. Plugged it back in and left it overnight. Got up this morning and unplugged, said it was fully charged, went down to 95. I've been doing stuff on it for about and hour and my battery says that i have 70.
Am I supposed to download all the previous ones first? Did i do something wrong here?
I also have the screen flashes, and I have noticed that my reception has been jumping from none to full. Using my browser i notice that things are jumpy... not really smooth.

Don't get me wrong, i appreciate someone trying to fix the phone, especially with samsung providing tech support the equal of a coconut.....
