It might not be the belle of the ball any longer, but
U.S. Cellular has
approved an update for the original 7-inch Samsung Galaxy
Tab, bringing it some Gingerbread live in the form of
Android version 2.3.5. While it's not Honeycomb or Ice Cream Sandwich, it is a vast
improvement over the Froyo (
Android 2.2) build the Tab shipped with, and should
breathe new life into your faithful electronic companion. Besides the
advantages of Gingerbread itself, the change log has a few nice bullet
points:
- VPN support
- Improved volume control when playing a video or movie while listening with a
headset
- Google security patches: DigiNotar certificate revocation; Libpng security
update
- Remove auto accept of Bluetooth paring for Handsfree Profile (HFP). This
vulnerability allows a nearby third-party to auto connect to Bluetooth HFP and
potentially access contact data on the mobile device.
Now, for the bad news. The update is not an Over The Air (OTA) style affair,
and must be done via the USB cable and a Windows computer. This means that it's
going to wipe away the data on your Tab, and of course involves software and
driver installation on a PC. Samsung has set up a nice support page for the
issues that are bound to crop up, and of course the Android Central forums are full of
people who can help -- don't be afraid to hit them up. Check out the links if
you're needing to update.
