Hi
As I alluded to in the JB O2 UK go post earlier, this came out yesterday OTA from Kies.
I upgraded using a cable and followed the golden rule of a factory reset and wipe of internal and external storage. My phone wasn't rooted and I kept it this way for my warranty which has about a month left.
Update went fine, signed in on my phone and downloaded about 40 apps, worked well for about two hours. Before bed last night I powered off to put my high capacity battery in (official Samsung) and after a reboot NOTHING.
The device stayed at the opening SGSII Splash screen and refused to get any further. Could not power off, only way to reset was by a battery removal.
Tried removing SIM and Micro SD card, no joy.
Only sniff of a root cause was my Evernote app which on signing in gave an error about not being able to write the databse and my sound recorder App which also would not write to local storage and had to be pointed at the SD card?
Unless anyone has any bright ideas before lunch time my phone will be going to the O2 shop to be looked at by their engineers under the last month or so of it's warranty.
Bit of a bummer but no data loss at least. Hope no one else experiences this disappointment after waiting so long for new firmware.
Cheers
Rob
