Go to Settings, about device, software update. You can check manually on the screen or select auto update.

Hi Chantel
Thanks for the reply but there is no option for a software update in about device. I have the original version p1000BUJM2 kernel version 2.6.32.9 froyo build. From what I have read I should update to gingerbread or a more recent version but not sure how. |

You should be using Kies on a PC or Mac to update in that case...my tab already runs gingerbread. Kies will guide you through the update process. Don't know where you are located but here is a link for software upgrades/downloads on the Samsung Canada site. You have to select your model and then download and install Kies first.

I wish I could get an update for mine.
It's locked to Orange and they only have a Froyo ROM for it. Looks like I'm going to have to get it unlocked and then get another ROM image for it. |
