Is official FroYo comming to Galaxy Apollo?

[glurta]

yeah I'm from India. They released Froyo here two days ago and I'm still unable to upgrade it
Any help, guys? It keeps getting stuck around 25%.

I think that's got to be even more frustrating than having nothing at all! Hope it works out for you.

I am currently in SG and have updated to Froyo, the phone is a little bit slow after upgrade but looks good.Njoiii

Try a factory reset... It could make your phone fast again

I'm happy with my battery life, have gone on for 4 days without charging and normal usage (using Watchdog Lite).
What i need Froyo for is apps 2 sd cause i dont wanna root. But still no luck with the damn upgrade - it still gets stuck

 

[Varun_17]

same here stuck at preparing >___________>

If you're using Windows Vista, u need to be logged in as administrator as it will ask for UAC permission. And disable your screen timeout before starting the upgrade, i went beyond 0% only when i did that.

i haven't even been able to reach 100% yet.. it keeps getting timed out

I think it's a problem with kies, it keeps getting obstructed when your computer goes idle. A soloution i think is that you should do something while it's updating also try factory resetting your phone before you start it and, make sure your battery is 100% charged otherwise it may not work. And if that doesn't work just take it to a samsung store and they'll do it for you. I haven't upgraded my phone yet because i live in the UK hopefully the problem is gone before i get it. Also update drivers and kies, go to help then check for updates and install drivers, make sure your usinf the kies that came from samsung's website and enjoy if it works

except for the factory reset part, i already have covered everything else u suggested. hesitant do a factory reset in case this problem persists, cause then i'll b stuck with an empty phone and no update.
i think i'll just take it to a samsung store this weekend. thanks a lot for ur feedback, appreciate it.

It is nice except for the fact that Swype does not work...Swype beta is there for free on their website but it is necessary to unisntall original Swype...But the 'Uninstall' option in Settings->applications->manage applications->swype is unavailable...Pls help to uninstall this swype

I'm facing the same problems but for me, swype is not a problem. It is very frustrating to see that the battery is not lasting one day when it used to be 2 days easily and also the battery reading changes in 10% counter.

Also I still dont understand why live wallpaper is not working on my Galaxy 3 after froyo update - when I install it, the installation completes successfully and then it says something like this device is not supported. I know it should work in Froyo - is there any hardware/software problem and is there any way I can use them.

Thanks in advance.

I heard that you can root your phone so it can support live wallpapers you can search a bit if you want.

Am from India.....but believe me...one side you'll be happy with the update...on the other hand..I'm sure battery will give you a BIG headache...Even on Eclair i had same battery issues..but than there was a software update which came from Samsung worked wonders...hope they fix it soon..

Sukanta,

Were you able get SWYPE working for you. Its only partially functional..Even am getting same error when I try LWP ??? but battery is a major problem!!!

 

[Dilzo]

For swype, try uninstalling it and re-install it from the market. The application probably got corrupted when you upgraded.

Connect the phone to the PC and start Kies.It will show that firmware upgrade is available.

No, SWYPE is not working for me too but I mean to say that I can live without it. But battery & live wallpaper are major concern for me - my big headache is now battery backup

 

[ElasticNinja]

Have you tried clearing Swipes data

apparently it shows this device's firmware cannot be upgraded.
i am from sg also

 

[arnold22]

I am going to try to upgrade tonight and report back. If it doesn't work for me I think I will just download one of the many ROM out there.
