There’s something slightly odd going on with the just-released Android “Gingerbread” update for Samsung’s Galaxy S. Vodafone, which released its version of the update on Monday, has posted a message on its forum suggesting the update has been suspended by Google. For reasons unknown.
Here’s what Vodafone had to say:
Due to an issue with the Gingerbread update for the Samsung Galaxy S, its roll out has been temporarily suspended by Google. Unfortunately, this means the Vodafone variant is not currently available to download through KIES.
As there are no known performance issues with the Vodafone variant of the device, we are working with Samsung to reinstate the roll out as soon as possible. We know this is frustrating for those Vodafone customers who have not yet been able to update their device and are working hard to address the matter with Samsung.
Sounds like nothing of particular importance if the Vodafone version is still working and unaffected.
Motorola’s latest flagship dual-core Android monster is a massive, original powerhouse, that’s a big improvement on previous MOTOBLUR mobiles – but still isn’t a total winner.
A slim and glamorous phone from Sony Ericsson, with the sharpest display around. It’s no powerhouse and the screen’s not the biggest out there, but we don’t mind. Because it’s cute.
LG’s first glasses-free 3D phone is a heavy, fat monster, with a clever 3D effect that works rather well. As a smartphone, though, it’s heavy and underwhelming.
A very shiny thing from Sony Ericsson, with a 3.7″ screen and Android 2.3.3 inside. But is it exciting enough to win fans in today’s spec-obsessed market? Can man live on one core alone?
INQ’s Android phone is an interesting “boutique” piece of hardware, packed with unique interface customisations that go far beyond the headline Facebook integration. We like it a lot.

/ April 20, 2011Probably has to do with the issue that after answering a call the mic is muted for 2-4 seconds. It’s in all the gingerbread roms, even some officially updated phones are experiencing the issue.
There must be a bug in the source. Strange how it doesn’t affect everyone tho.
