Is your model Galaxy Ace S5830I?
Hi guys, greetings from Bogota (Colombia)!
I tried this on mi Galaxy Ace (GT – S5830L) and now I got 2.3.6 version with kernel 1.6.35.7 and compilation GINGERBREAD.UBPKP. So far it seems the same to me, with home screen handling enhancements (now it won’t get stucked on the las or first home screen) and some on screen advise when reaching top and bottom of menus, but it’s the same performance, to me it seems to consume more battery than expected but i’m already used to that so if you guys have something else to add it will be awesome.
Thanks in advance, hope you guys get 2.3.6 version soon.
Greetings!.

as of now OTA is not yet rolled out in all places!
you can apply the update using the ODIN manually since you bricked your device by installing from ota
Even i haven’t received any update notifications in Kies… I doubt that it will be only available for S5830I.., as i have S5830…
Does Anybody here has got the 2.3.6 update for S5830??
2.3.6 update for S5830 is not released yet officially.
Also,, i bought my phone from Delhi.. So it should also be an indian version.. Then why it is not S5830I..??
Not sure of that buts this update is for only for ACE S 5830I.
