Win7 x64 did not work for me for the 1.2 update. Lucky that my office laptop still has XP running. Did you guys face prob with Win7 x64 during update? It stopped responding while starting the update.

Suggest some good earphones with SRS 5.1 virtual surround sound support....... no need for mic in headphones, but if good ones are available then can consider them too.........

Upgrade at night around 12.30 should do the trick for you. I tried upgrading in the morning and failed. Tried at night. Failed for the first time and then got through.

Have you tried running the app in compatiblity mode and see if it works?. Select Windows Vista or Windows XP or 32 bit Windows 7 option if available.

Yes! Will download the full installer and reinstall it....... thank God Bada is very stable than Kies.....

..not quite sure though, but i guess 've read it somewhere, the 1.2 upgrade disables the in-call voice recording function.

So for those who cant live without this feature may have to think before upgrading.

Can someone confirm this please?

Kies is the most pathetic piece of tatti I have ever seen. first of all it's huge in size. Then it's sofa king slow...I do not understand how was it coded. Did they use loops within loop for every thing..I see not other reason for it to be so slow..

Now coming to the pain of Upgrade...

First the process takes about an hour to download some paikhana files...OMG!! I could fresh install Win 7 in less time ..what the hell does this files contain...:x :x And after it reaches to 85% I'm getting the following msg with some piece of shit Blue icon on my mobile :

"Unable to convert to upgrade mode. Please try again. "...

what the hell!!!! FIrst it need 3000MB of space on my C: drive .....then after doing all this crap I get this msg...4 times in a row..whole night was a waste..what a shame....Never buying a samsung product ever againn!!!

^ Everything went fine for me bro, Something is wrong, better you first uninstall the Kies and again use the Uninstaller provided by them. And download newer version of Kies 2.0.0.11033_25 and install it. this is how I did for Updating my Wave and it went without a Pain Hope this will help You eggman and also try to download the Kies whole package dont download it from their website as they are providing a older version of Kies Again it will update.. The whole package will come around 114MB bro.

Ok,so I was searching on net and seems like many user faced the same problem as me (And many other problems too ). So somewhere someone has written that turn off Antivirus protection, and someone else has written that disconnect all USB connection from ur system (except of course the Phone). I did both and it worked this time.

Now I'm enjoying the amazing Swype ...

Btw, Sims 3 is available for 180 rs only(down from 420 ). Has anyone downloaded it and played? How is it? I want to play it .
