New Samsung Galaxy I7500 Firmware Update Now Available

Samsung have today released a new firmware update for their Galaxy GT-I7500 Android phone.

This new Android firmware update isn’t the Donut update, but is a specific update for the Samsung handset that is believed to provide better device stability and improved battery performance.

Also included in the update is a new app “Switchers”, that allows Galaxy users to switch off/on their GPS,Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth connectivity along with auto-sync support from the programs menu.

The new firmware version IH8 is available through Samsung’s New PC Studio which is currently only available for Windows users.

Edit: It appears that some users are experiencing issues with voice calls and data connections after applying the update. If you’re having similar issues we recommend you backup all your phone info/data and perform a hard reset of your handset (Settings -> SD card & phone storage -> Factory data reset).
