Bell Canada Firmware Problem

Hi there, so my Galaxy S from Bell started acting up today. I recently upgraded it to 2.2 firmware via kies, and everything was running smooth.
Now, out of no where my phone turned off on me unexpectedly and when I try to boot it up again the Samsung Galaxy S logo screen appears for a couple of seconds and then turns off and repeats that motion.
-I have tried taking the battery out repeatedly and trying again to start it.
-I have tried charging it but as soon as I put the usb cable in, instead of showing the charging battery sign first (I let the phone die) it goes to the flashing logo automatically. It does the same with a full charge
-Left it flashing with the phone connected for about 8 hours, still nothing.
-Tried wiping it but I can't get into the menu because of the logo problem
-Tried to see if my computer would recognize it but it won't do that either.

So does anyone else have the same problem as me?

You are facing the same problem that a lot of people are having with the update. It worked great for me for a day before dying a horrible death. I even tried flashing the second phone with Odin when mine died again and had no success. The internal SD memory appears to be being corrupted after the update is complete and there's very little you can do about it except send the phone in for repairs unless you have an extended warranty like mine where you can take the phone in and get a new one.

here you go Bell customers. I came across this on a forums site, its a bell site that allows you to track the progress of your repair. You would think that the idiots at the bell counter would have given this to me when I dropped off the phone for repairs. Good luck to all, hope you all get your phones back in record time

Strange. I stopped by 2 seperate Bell Stores today to ask about this problem and if they have heard anything and I got the same reponse back from both "It just works!" and that they haven't heard of any problems.

So, I just got off of the phone with Bell's tech support and asked the question why the 2 phones that I had applied the firmware update on both died between 2 - 24 hours and had a very apologetic agent on the other end. Apparently this problem is a known problem to Bell's tech support as they have had numerous calls in regards to the phone failing after applying the firmware patch. They are apparently working on trying to fix/prevent this problem from happening but have no ETA on when that will be. The sad thing is when I mentioned that "maybe they should stop the firmware from being presented in Kies" the agent totally agreed with me but couldn't explain why it wasn't. I don't blame him since he just reads from a script like any other call center agent but holy cow. Bell knows there's a problem and they continue to let the firmware go out. He also told me I could try again if I want and maybe I would get lucky this time to which I'm not going to as I'm tired of this game.

When's the Nexus S going to be available in Canada? 

WOW THX MAN... NOW I CAN CHECK IF THOSE GOD DAMN PPL IS SLACKING OR NOT, WHEN I HEARD FROM THE REP SAYING 2-6 WKS, BUT SOME PPL GOT IT BACK IN 9 DAYS I WAS WTF..... I THINK THEY ARE ALL TOLD TO TELL PPL THAT BS STATEMENT.  I REALLY HOPE THEY COME UP WITH A DAMN UPDATE FOR THE FIXES OR RECALL ALL SGS I WOULD GO WITH HTC DESIRE Z... JUST MY THOUGHT....  TY MAN!!!

I wouldn't either except the M is different than the i9000 because of the radio bands. Whether that is a hardware or software issue, the phones were most likely batch produced so any problems are amplified.

OTOH there are tons of problems that can creep into an upgrade with that sized file too. One line of code, one lost packet. People ran JK3 (development version) with no problems, updated to JK4 and splat. Holding back on the Sasktel upgrade shows they are definitely looking into software.

It doesn't really matter what caused the problem, what matters is how Samsung handles the aftermath. Easy intake and quick turn around with fully updated software would appease most users. If they can't do in store swaps for new devices updated to the latest firmware, temporary set up of repair centers in each province so they can provide a 3 to 5 day turn around.

Or it could be a plot to drive all Canadians to Blackberry - a Canadian company
