I don't know if anyone else here is experiencing, this but when I got my Android phone it came with v2.1 Eclair and it updated itself just fine through v2.2 Froyo to v2.3 Gingerbread as soon as the releases were made public. However, the Android version I have on my phone seems to have "stuck" at 2.3.3. I've removed and downloaded the latest version of Samsung Kies software but still my phone is reported by Kies as having the latest version of Android installed even though this is untrue. The phone is sim free so not locked to a network. Anyone else having the same issue? Some of the bugs in v2.3.3 are starting to annoy me so I'd like to upgrade Android if possible.

The latest update for the phone is the one you have.
One of the issues with android phones is that not all of them can be updated to the latest version due to their hardware."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JR -

Thanks all, the phone is used on O2 network but is a sim free phone, not locked to O2. I hope I get a software upgrade in January as the bugs in 2.3.3 are irritating.Public Service Posting by the BBC - Bloggs Bulls**t Corp.

I found out that in the recent android update due to patent arguments, Google have removed some of the previous functionality. Ok you would only notice the things if you know about them and they aren't biggies, but it's annoying."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Originally posted by Fred Bloggs View PostThanks, I've founds a new release fixes some bugs but there always seems to be be new ones coming along and sometimes I don't see other folks reporting them either.
1. it doesn't really bug them,
2. they don't know how to report it, OR,
3. they do know how to report it but the forum/bug logging tool is a hassle to use."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
