Galaxy S (GT-I9000) Gets Android 2.2.1 Through Kies; Said to Significantly Improve Performance
I can’t confirm this myself, but folks are saying Samsung have delivered the upgrade to Android 2.2.1 – a maintenance upgrade to Android not to be confused with the Android 2.2 upgrade which the Galaxy S already enjoys. It brings with it not only the general bug fixes and small enhancements to Froyo, but Androinica reports that it seems to make the device move a lot faster – something Samsung would have to be responsible for. (Could they have finally adopted the Ext4 file system?) Anywho, most Europeans should be able to find the upgrade right now via Kies.
“Well I was having MAJOR problems with lag, particularly when opening up the phone ‘app’ to make calls. I’ve just upgraded and the difference so far has been immense… still early days, but it’s looking hopeful!”
“I’m in London and I updated my Galaxy S a couple of weeks ago and boy did I notice the difference. Its has significantly improved the speed of the phone in all areas, navigating the phone, browsing the net, browsing/deleted/navigating my emails…..just about everything is faster. Memory management has also been tweeked which I guess adds to the speed of the phone.”
Sounds like something you should opt to apply as soon as you can.
