Android 2.3 update for Vodafone Samsung Galaxy S users now live

If you bought your Samsung Galaxy S through Vodafone in the UK, today is basically more exciting than any possible birthday could ever be – the Android 2.3 “Gingerbread” update for the Galaxy S has launched for Vodafone-branded Galaxys today.

Here are the details, taken from the Vodafone Support Forum announcement:

A new maintenance release for the Samsung Galaxy S is now available for Vodafone customers. This is an Android platform update to 2.3 Gingerbread which introduces a number of fixes and improvements which include;

- Ul Enhancements (simpler and slicker)
- New Android Keyboard, with easy copy/paste feature
- Improved Power Management
- Multiple Camera Management (front and back)
- The ability to switch the device to GSM (2G) only mode has been restored in this update.

How will you get the latest software?

This can be done manually by connecting your handset to your computer via USB and opening the Samsung KIES application. You will be prompted that an update is available and should then follow the onscreen instructions.

Checking the software version

To check which version of the software you have on your handset you need to dial *#1234#

The new software version will show as i9000BUJV4
