Samsung Galaxy Y S5360 is an entry level android
smartphone which received its final
official OTA update in India in April 2013. But after updating galaxy y to
android 2.3.6 DDMD1 firmware which is mistaken as android 2.4.1 it started showing some bugs which are very annoying.
These bugs are very simple to detect and I will tell about them in detail in
this post. Also I will tell you how to remove these bugs from your galaxy y S5360.
Android Bugs In Galaxy Y DDMD1 Firmware
1.Camera Bug : While recording videos on galaxy y no sound
is recorded. The videos are recorded without any sound and this is very irritating
as you find there is no sound in your favorite recorded videos. This problem
goes after clearing the camera app cache but comes back again after sometime.
2.Performance Bug : After installing the android 2.3.6 DDMD1
firmware the phone became slow as compared to its previous firmwares. Apps
sometimes crash due to very slow performance of android system.
3.WiFi Hotspot Bug : When we use galaxy y in wifi hotspot
mode then the data network automatically disconnects then reconnects after few
seconds. This wifi hotspot bug in galaxy y wastes more data if you are sharing
it with your laptop or tablet, because the downloads will break in between due
to data network disconnection and you have to re-download them, therefore much
data is wasted.
4.Network Signal Bug : The network signal strength on galaxy
y is sometimes very poor inside buildings. The signals are between 1 and 3
signals when inside a building and sometimes the network signal strength is
almost zero. Also the voice of calling person is sometimes not much clear and
audible in galaxy y earpiece. You need to move out of house for good network
reception.
5.Surround Sound Effect Bug In Voice Calls : Sometimes I
hear surround sound effect during making or receiving voice calls which is very irritating as we
can’t hear the voice correctly in earpiece. This problem arises when the
network signal reception is low.
The above mentioned bugs are currently can be found in
galaxy y and to cope with these bugs you have to downgrade your galaxy y to
android 2.3.6 DDLK2 which is the stable android firmware for galaxy y. Now I
will teach how you can downgrade galaxy y to android 2.3.6 DDLK2.
