Hey everyone I am new here, this is my first post I hope I am in the right forum. Here is my question, will the Galaxy Ace be getting ICS (Ice cream sandwich) and if so should I upgrade or stay on Gingerbread?

Welcome To The Forum. Not sure mate. It's exclusive to Samsung's new Galaxy Nexus phone at the moment. It may be available for our phones in the future but don't get your hopes up. On some networks in the UK haven't even updated the SGA to Gingerbread yet!!

I have updated my phoneto gingerbread officially. The steps are
Connect your phone to samsung kies
click on your phone name there.
It will show that there is a firmware upgrade available.
Do that
you will get gingerbread
Apparently, the Galaxy Ace is just a few steps below Galaxy S-II and it's 70% sure that the I.C.S (Ice Cream Sandwich) will be available for us S-5830 (Galaxy Ace) users...
Although, our version will not be as great as others. Nevertheless, our version will still be available in the near future (maybe Christmas).
It's proven that it will be, because Samsung executive producers said that it will be available to almost every phone that can support Gingerbread.
If our older brother (Galaxy S-II) has it, why can it not include us?

I love the comment you made about the older brother. You are absolutely right we can support it the only thing we cant support is facial recognition. That isn't a issue though. Besides the ace is the younger brother to the galaxy s so there isn't really a reason not to do it

Im just new here and this is the first time i will ask about our phone. can you help me how can i connect thru internet without paying.. sample Hack the internet because here in philippines before you connect to internet use your phone you need to pay every hour..
i Hope there's anyone can help me. how can i use my phone for brousing.
I'm new to Galaxy Ace, I have no idea whats this Ice cream. Can anyone explain?
Ice Cream Sandwich is the nickname for android 4.0
it's a newer version of the software, with added and improved features. sort of like windows 7 compared to windows vista.
currently the galaxy ace is running either android 2.2 (froyo) or 2.3 (gingerbread), unless it's been mucked about with by the owner
the ace skipped android 3.0 (honeycomb) since it was for tablets only.
each of the major updates gets a name, and all the names are based on desserts.

good day,
you can connect your internet without paying via wi-fi if you have at home or an open wi-fi outside. of course we pay when we connect to the internet its because you are using the 3G of your phone.
i'm also a filipino hope my post answers your question.

I tried to upgrade my Ace during Kies, but when I click the update button, "Kies has stopped working" can you tell me how to fix that?

kies is a clunky software lol your best bet is to un-install then re-install , is that doesnt help which 90% of the time it does you may need samsung drivers from samsung. com if you do need further help pm me.....free! lol
Hi to everyone,

plug into kies and if your carrier has released 2.3.6 in your country then it will prompt for the upgrade. If it doesn't its not officially available and you need to flash it yourself.
The ace uses some of the 512 for the os! so you can only use what is there!

Has it officially released in INDIA?
Tell Me the easy way to upgrade?
Check SAMFIRMWARE to see if it has the latest for your region. If it has you can flash it with Odin using chismays sticky guide (downgrading from cm7 to gingerbread) as it details how to flash a rom with odin. (same as your requirements)

Great name!! LOL! dead.........the ACE?? Mine is still on the original Froyo 2.2.1, (until I get bored with it!), but if I choose to there are multiple combinations of Gingerbread updates available, both official & non, which will give the ACE the ICS in future too. Froyo/GB/ICS, root/flash etc... it's a matter of choice, but the ACE will never be dead. An Android phone has never-ending possibilities no matter what version it is on!! Graham - London
Before getting the ace, I had a lg gt540 and theres already an ICS custom rom for that phone, the gt540 is down the pecking order of android phones than the ace so we probably will eventually get sunshinesomekind of ICS rom.

aren't there already several custom roms for ICS on the xda-developers site?? Ace will have ICS one way or three others! Graham - London
If you look at the post above yours insekticide youll see a link that takes you to a work in progress for Cyanagenmod 9 which is ICS 4.0.3. cm9 is a cleaner version of ICS than you'll find on any samsung device. (My wife has official ICS on her galaxy s2, and its tainted with touchwiz so its not pure ICS).
The link is on Beta 5 release and works smooth enough for daily use (unless you use your camera) and at the speed its progressing will be complete soon.

Goto to settings>about phone> software updates.
Click on it,
As per 2g network speed, it takes around half an hour
I've done and have .6 version of gingerbread

There is no OTA Support in Froyo only option is to update via Kies.
Just update your samsung Kies and connect your phone..
a popup will appear saying new firmware update is available...
just follow the instructions and you will have gingerbread in no time...
just wondered how a sony tipo is under a hundred pounds with the same spec as the ace but has ics straight from the box?
There is no issue of technical capabilities with ACE running ICS, its the samsung that has an issue supporting old devices. We already have unofficial ICS and JB.
Don't know whether this is in the right section..
I have a galaxy ace it's rooted and running the mythics_lite.
I am going to be buying a new memory card soon, just a quick question I know it might sound stupid but when i get the new memory card do I just back up the data on my current memory card and then swap it to the new memory card? Or will I have to re-root it too?

Just copy the everything to the new card, no hassles.
