Help Gingerbread problems

Hi All,

I installed Gingerbread (S5570XXKPF) and I have some problems/issues since. I would be grateful for any help.

1. In the phone settings menu that appears when the power button is held, the link to turn on/off the data connection is gone. Is that normal?

2. When I hold for selection or context menu, the phone vibrates. Is there a way to turn that off? I don't think that it was like this with Froyo.

3. My biggest problem is that whenever I activitate Wifi, my router restarts. It worked fine with Froyo and in the beginning after the upgrade it worked too. Now I can only use it for some seconds.

Thank you very much
 
1. The Galaxy mini phones in India atleast has only 3 options in froyo. Silent mode/Flight mode/power off . There was no option to turn data off.

2. Go to Settings > Sounds . at the very bottom there are some option which might help you to turn that off. They are there in froyo atleast.

3. Your router might have issues. It's highly unlikely a device can cause router to malfunction. Try doing it with any other phone and see.
