<span style="color: blue;"><strong>This wont count as an invention but is surely a discovery on my part.</strong></span><span style="color: #0c343d;">For this trick you would need.<br />1)mobile phone with music player <span style="color: #6aa84f;">(not sure if it works on all but surely works for Galaxy Ace, try and leave a comment)</span>2)Headset with mic (that has a single button to answer/end calls or Pause/resume playback)</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;">How it works:<br />Start music player and play a song, press the button on headset to pause.<br />Press the button twice to play next song(when the current song is paused).<br />Leave your replies so that i know it works.</span></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14331347065661485099noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2421777126997903255.post-11709650740728744022012-03-13T17:00:00.001+05:302012-03-13T18:19:44.139+05:30Official Gingerbread 2.3.6 Update for Samsung Galaxy Ace<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<strong><u><span style="font-size: large;">Finally the Gingerbread 2.3.6 update (DDKQ8) has arrived for Samsung Galaxy Ace OFFICIALLY.</span></u></strong><br />
It promises an increase in performance of the phone and also boasts of longer battery life.Visibly there are a few major differences too.<br />
<br />
<strong><u><span style="color: #274e13;">Whats New???</span></u></strong>Say good bye to the old lock screen with two circular virtual slide buttons for unlocking and turning ON/OFF the silent mode.With the new unlock screen you can slide anywhere to unlock the phone. The digital clock is placed on the left bottom side of screen. with a new circle in the centre which displays number of new messages or missed calls(it is not visible if you don't have an sms or missed call).<br />
<br />
When you received a call in the Gingerbread 2.3.4 or earlier you got a answer and end options similar to the lock screen. It has been replaced with a trendy looking options.<br />
<br />
When you scroll to the end of list/image a blue light glows from the edge signifying end of line etc. it looks pretty cool too.<br />
The Old Android market has been replaced with Google Play, which is pretty much same with a few new enhancements.<br />
The text memo icon has changed too, yippee!!! as if it matters as long as it works the same.<br />
A few things here and a few things there which are noticeable when you look around.The major upgrade i found was in the battery life it has improved a bit(or i must be imagining)but it runs better than the froyo/gingerbread that i had earlier.I installed a lot of apps and found that they somehow took a little less phone memory.<br />
The updating took me about 30 minutes(i updated from Gingerbread 2.3.4) and was hassle free i did not even require a data cable or Kies as the update was over the Air "OTA"<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"><u>How to update your Samsung Galaxy Ace to Gingerbread 2.3.6:</u></span></strong><span style="color: red;">*I am considering that you have already updated your phone to Gingerbread 2.3.4 as you won't get the software update option in Froyo 2.2.1*</span><br />
<span style="color: red;">*Donot try to turn your hone off in between as it may brick your phone*</span><span style="color: blue;">*You may also try to update any other phone that's running on Gingerbread*</span>1)Charge your phone well i advice 100% battery as it may save you future trouble, connecting a charger while updating is also a good option but why take chances? (my battery was at 96% before starting and it went smooth)<br />
2)Hope you have a high speed 3G connection as i do but wi-fi is still better for downloading update files.<br />
3)Backup any data like contacts and messages(I did not backup any data and lost nothing, you may well backup if you don't want to lose any thing)<br />
4)Go to Settings > About Phone > Software Update > Update<br />
5)The phone will search for updates available and will start downloading them once it has received them it will start installing automatically.(Before this update rolled out in India i got a message saying "your Phone is already updated".<br />
6)you may be prompted to restart your phone, do so.<br />
7)In case you are not able to receive update the update is not available in your region.(This is an OFFICIAL update provided by samsung so i can't help you if you dont get theupdate.<br />
8)After the long wait your phone will start again and yippee!!! you've got a new OS. you can check it in Settings > About Phone. <br />
The only down side i found to this update was it took a long time to roll out and we have been waiting for it for a long time. Though it is Not ICS Ice cream Sandwich it is good that we at least get an update.<br />
<br />
hope this information was helpful, Both Criticism & Praises Are Appriciated.</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14331347065661485099noreply@blogger.com0VimanNagar, Pune, Maharashtra, India18.566644 73.915406918.5591175 73.905536399999988 18.5741705 73.9252774tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2421777126997903255.post-73964133739732003582012-03-07T12:34:00.000+05:302012-03-07T12:34:36.491+05:30YAY!!!!! Finally the Gingerbread 2.3.6 is available OTA on Samsung Galaxy ACE<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">The long awaited update of Gingerbread 2.3.6 for Samsung is available OTA (over the air: no kies required) it's faster and has a few enhancements made to run better.<br />
I updated it yesterday and it took me roughly 1/2 an hour to complete the upgrade.<br />
The phone now has a different lock screen.<br />
Consumes less battery and is a bit faster.<br />
<br />

Let go of this attitude if you don't want to waste a beautiful instrument or end up paying a lot on the repairs that don't revive it.<br />
I learned this the hard way, luckily i wasn't spending a lot either.<br />
