Hi all:

I know this has been done to death, but I am going to ask some questions about using kies to update to 2.3. 4

1) First of all, how do you update firmwire anyway? I know that I can check for updates using: settings>about phone>software update> check for update. Can I actually update through OTA?

2) What is suppose to happen when you use kies to update?
will there be an automatic message when you connect indicating that you need to update?

3) In kies, i have the august 24 2011 version, under tools, and under firmware update settings there is a box that says download automatically. Does this mean it should update automatically or only that it will download new firmware automatically?

4) How does do updating process work? I bought an unbranded, unlocked chinese version from the states but I am living in canada. does that mean I'll get the update it comes canada? because it looks like the china updates are out but I get swat from kies.

5) I have noticed a few people complain that their chinese version does not have google /app market access. However, mine came with the market, gmail and calendar syncing abilities so i am confused as hell.

my info is as below:

baseband version
19100xxkg1
kernel version
2.6.35.7-I9100ZSKG2-CL361136
build number
gingerbread. ZSKG2

I just assumed mine was chinese because the default keyboard was chinese but easily switched to english.
