connected my phone to kies today there was an update eclair.ddjg4can't see much of a difference except that all apps contacts messages and everything were wiped... :madness:

 

[droidsuree]

Oh no.. how stupid can Samsung get.. But I hope you'd made a backup!

 

[anuj kathuria]

only contacts... were backed updidnt know how to backup apps and account settings.. even swype words got removed..pics and music and other media is safe

contacts on android are synced with your google contacts.

with android 2.2 app developers can enable their apps to sync their data as well with google servers.

i am not sure if samsung is doing any hanky panky with the default android features. but i have not faced any problems with the two firmware updates that were delivered to me.

in fact, the latest state of the android world is that... you can buy a new device and almost everything would be synced automatically to the new device...

[Sushubh]

Can anyone tell me how I can enable Voice stuff on my phone? I've seen stuff which allows people to call/msg people using voice! Do I need to install something?
