Does that help with your backup issue?

Thanks FF but any thoughts on the first dumb question in relation to voice dialling on this phone ?

[Fonefixer]

Viki: they are the same handset. I can't see Amy releases on the Samsung system. I'll call their UK tech rep tomorrow and see what I can find out.
You have no settings wrong I think, it does seem this is a wind up there would be info about it all over the net if it had come out. Not just one or two posts.

Is that the paid or free version? The latter gets abysmal reviews on Market.

@ Andrew W, The original was fine until they upgraded. I downloaded the earlier version from this link

Now anyone recommending a GOOD Voice dialler to work with this phone ( Required for work and bluetooth connection )

[Scope]

Dunno why this works , but if your phone seems laggy or slow
this seems a harmless way to silk it up

I tried it and had a positive effect

Another update on the FroYo saga.....

I have been involved in a video conference this morning between the worldwide service managers and Samsung HQ in Korea. It gave me the opportunity to air the views expressed not just by this forum but by UK customers in general about the total lack of satisfactory customer support given by Samsung themselves and the lack of satisfactory info given to engineers like me with regard to updates.

They basically revised their upgrade notification policy some months ago without telling anyone - they now do not issue upgrade bulletins but merely slip the upgrade onto their main system without telling anyone. There were quite a few unhappy managers comments made about this statement ( me included - im not known for keeping my mouth shut!) The main point I made to them was " So you expect engineers to search through literally thousands of patches on your servers every morning to see if there are any new ones, do you realise the man-hours this will cost just because Samsung cant be arsed to do their job properly and give engineers some backup?". (At this point 4 managers asked their translators what "arsed" meant - one of the replies was pretty rude!) Their answer was a blunt "Yes".

In short, FroYo is still on the cards but as to when is a different matter. I'm not sure where the people on the other forum got it from but I dont think it was KIES. Ive asked on there for their version numbers but have yet to receive a reply.

[andrewW]

Thanks FF for that bulletin!! I suppose we will have to be arsed and keep checking Kies regularly

I'm keeping a close eye on things as best I can too.
