[Q] How is 2.3.7?

2.3.7 was out on September 20 -- why nothing about it here? Anyone tried it already?
P.S. I am not happy with my 2.3.4, XXJVP at all. It hangs, com.adroid.phone keeps crashing, phone is not much responsive and it all gets only worse and worse over the time. Now I am thinking, should I look towards 2.3.7 or should I wait until 4.0 comes? However, I guess 4.0 will come to I9000 with a significant delay, right?

Why not try 2.3.5?

Source? Imho 2.3.5 for I9000 is the latest available version - even for the nexus, just 2.3.6 is available...

btw, I didn't say 2.3.7 for I9000. Here is the German article mentioned from German wikipedia about Android:
http://www.appdated.de/2011/09/nexus-s-4g-bekommt-android-2-3-7-update-fur-google-wallet/
Then it comes down to this promo video:

I can't find more details to be honest

CM7 is 2.3.7. coz is build from nexus sources ... and i thing there is nothing extra for i9000 users ... we dont have NFC chip ....

btw, what about "No tethering" bug / feature in this 2.3.7 ?

These updates hardly matter.We already have few ROMs of 2.3.5
Now we want ICS....and our device is very capable of running it

I don't build any illusions regarding Samsung's official releases. They are rather out of scope until Summer 2012 ;-) No joke, SAMSUNG sux big big big time on rolling out updates.
My concern are ROMs that are created by community heros. When'd you expect such?

I agree to some of your point but telling that samsung sucks in update is incorrect.Galaxy S has got updates more frequenty than any other android phone.We already have 2.3.5 leaked stock firmware and in comming days u will some 2.3.6 updates as well.Comming to other brands,take example of htc,they are still on 2.3.4.Motorola donot give more than 1 update to phones and forget about LG(they think that customers must be deprived of updated,so that they can ultimatly sell thier mobile industry)

I think we will have to use CM7 to get a taste of 2.3.7...

OK, and what are your bets about availability date for ICS on I9000 ?
(unofficially of course, there is no much sense to discuss official one)
UPDATE: OK, I'll try CM7 with its 2.3.7 and that's it. It will probably heal my SGS for next months ...or will brick it

After being hesitant for a while ( losing the whole samsung apps/feel ) ive finally made the jump to CM7. I must say its really stable and smooth, its packed with lots of options and tweaks .. so far im simply loving it. I think my search for the best custom ROM is done .
Btw, Cyanogen mod 7.1 is out for the i9000, which is considered as the first "stable" version to run on the i9000.
Also, im pretty sure cyanogen will get us ICS way before Samsung does.

I cannot really bet but after Nexus s recived ICS then it will hardly take 15-30 days for devlopers to port ICS to galaxy s because both nexus s and galaxy s is running same hardware except camera chip.

Well from what I understand, manufacturers are not required to release android updates to devices which are older than 18months. Anyone know the exact launch date of the sgs? So I guess it depends what the age of the sgs is by the time ICS is released. Even if we don't get the official ICS, I'm not so sure whether we will get it through cyanogen due to the sgs ram limitation. From 2.1 to 2.3 the average amount of free ram on the sgs has come down quite a lot, to a point where through average use you can end up in a situation with only 30mb free ram (depending on your rom and kernel and what apps and Widgets you use) after a days use. ICS will obviously have even higher memory demands than gingerbread, so the ICS experience on a sgs if it is provided unnofically by cyangoen may not be very smooth and user friendly.
That's just my opinion though, I'm no expert! And obviously I'd love for us to get ICS on the sgs

The most stable version I experienced till now is XXJPY. I'm using it for more than 2 months with no problem.

I guess the only way I'll ever use the new version will be through a ROM, probably same for many other people in here.

yeah i downloaded this update, didn't feel much change. At each update they write "Improved Stability"... I didn't knew cyanogenmod was in development for s5830i, is it?
As for video recording, there is an app at google play named lgcamera, camera doesn't change much(except for few effects), the in that u can change bitrate of video recording and increase fps to 30! there is a option to change resolution but i messes up colors!

XXLF4
Kies says that another new firmware is available.. its XXLF4..does anyone knows about it?
are there any improvements? i mean noticable one..?!

I am unable to update via OTA (0.66 mb).
I can download the update but while installing, it stops at 26% and reboots and says that 'Firmware update failed, Try using Samsung Kies or visit a Samsung Service Centre'
What could be the reason?
Note: My phone is rooted, but i unrooted it before trying to update.

Rooting is not the reason
May be your net connection is laggy

I'm planning to sell my Galaxy S I9000, before I sell it I want to flash it with stable ROM with normal battery life, without too much additions, something simple.
Now it has infinitum.

Make the buyer happy, give them ICS. And probably sell it for a bit more.

Galaxy S I wasn't made for 4.0 so I think its better to put something that will be stable and the buyer will be satisfied with it.

if you want to sell it the best deal would be to make it stock , with stock recovery, and latest stock rom. All custom roms have bugs and problems, which necessit reinstaling or updating. If the buyer knows how to work on android he will flash whatever he wants. If he doesn't, it is better with all the bloatware from samsung and every other app and option working properly.

Badly in need of I9070ODDLD4 (2.3.6 India official)

Hi
I am I9070 user from India.
I was using official JB but lately phone started lagging a lot. So I rooted the phone and now using Kitkat custom rom.
But I feel that I9070 hardware is not meant for Kitkat. Somewhere from heart it still lags and feel slow.
So I am thinking to downgrade it to 2.3.6 *official). Hope this will solve the lag.
So I really request all of you to please share a working link. As I have tried searching google and even XDA but old links are not working anymore. link of I9070DDLJ1 (2.3.6) will also work.
I will install using ODIN.
Thanks for taking out the time and reading. Would appreciate more if somebody can help.

Mani

We do not have any working 4.1 non stock based. There was CM10, but I think it was not finished.
