Samsung Moment gets 2.1 official???

I just read as I googled "Sprint 2.1 update" I get all kinds of, Sprint releases Moment update 2.1, I thought we were getting the "official bits" first?
Why is it I always pick the phone that takes forever to get anything done on, lol...
Thank God for XDA!

I think you need to re-read your google links, as it was a leak.
Something that we've had a few times now for the 2.1 roms...

better to just leave it alone..

i know im so using those =P
and on topic, the moment will probably get the update i think first, its plain android and its much easier to port android 2.1 1:1 like that.

Im aware this is the HTC Hero thread, and I dont care about the moment, other than that fact that it seemed, and Im correcting myself I did not see anything that was officially stating that it was official, I was mearly stating that everything I saw, was saying that Hero would get the bits first, then moment,.
Im sorry if I posted this in the wrong place, but Im a hero user, and it urked me.

That wasn't to you specifically.. Just a joke about the forum.. Don't worry about it.. You can post whatever you want, this place is for you to learn...

All I can say is that it's about damn time. I've been loving 2.1 on my hero for the last couple weeks while my wife's moment has been crying itself to sleep. Looks like they've already rooted it over at SDX, so I'm gonna probably flash that whenever I get home from work.
Of course, what would be *really* nice is if Sprint put out something official for a change.

Has sprint ever officially done anything

This is crazy...
Just for you narrow-minded people...
Just because it is not "officially" released on your schedule, doesn't mean anything negative to a company...
Just look at Verizon and the Storm 1.. People kept hounding and hounding Verizon for updates for the phone, but when the update wasn't what they expected, go crazy that they should have done better QA...
It is Sprint's responsibility to make sure all issues are addressed and taken care of... Do you have any idea how many thousands of issues are brought in the testing phase???
Do you know how hard it would be to guarantee a million phones for retail, from a single demo(test) device??
Have a just a tiny bit of understanding and stop complaining....

Narrow minded? Is that would you consider Microsoft? They release software that has no business being in the market place, only to patch it every tuesday when admins like me all over the world find bugs and exploits, and errors and problems. Just release the damn thing, and do incrementals as needed. Take the M$ route and get us what we want!

I would take that with a grain of salt, if I had a dime for every article I saw that had a date in it, I'd have enough money to buy Google and get 2.1
It'll be out whenever Sprint is ready. It doesn't help that they are dragging their feet, most likely for their proprietary apps. I'm not holding my breath.

Bought an EVO...

At the end of June and I must say, I miss the Hero. I rooted the Hero with DarchDroid like I always had and gave it to my mom. Seeing her with a complete AOSP working ROM and me stuck with broken camera no AOSP sucks...

LOL u get what u pay for lmao

I do have to say that I might be going to the Evo and I am not sure how well the idea is sitting with me, honestly. I mean, I absolutely love my hero, Best ****ing phone I have ever had. I don't want to go to something with so many quirks that people complain about here, but not on the sprint.com reviews pages...

broken camera???

I just don't understand peoples mentality... You're comparing custom roms on a year old device to a month old device. It took a year for a aosp darchdroid rom, what makes you think the evo would have it already? I would still buy the evo. And what broken camera are u talking about?

Maybe he dropped it already

from the fascinate page on samsungs site:
" Powered by the latest Android platform (and upgradeable to 2.2), this phone fully integrates with Google Mobile Services. You're now at one with your Gmail account, Google Maps, YouTube videos and more."
Plus Verizon publicly stated we will be able to use google search over bing when it is upgraded to Froyo
i dont know when, but it will come

No one knows.
I do think that Samsung's credability in the android world is at stake. Right now they are NOT LOOKING GOOD and boring the hell out of me. WTF is the problem?

Wow guys, have some patients, the phone has been out for 14 days. I realize Froyo has been out for longer than that but jeez, relax. To say "are we ever gonna get it" is a little ridiculous. Just sit back and enjoy your new toy, its already great. Or maybe get off your comp and go find a lady to keep you busy for a change

Um, anyone following the news should not be doubting this. Samsung announced that Froyo will be out for the Galaxy S by the end of October. The US variants should follow shortly afterward.

Look at the back of the media dock and it will answer your question.

This. It took me around 3 months to get Froyo for my Droid X, so 14 days isn't really that much time. All signs point to it being out within the next few months. To be honest, I'm enjoying my Fascinate the way it is now, I just got everything set up the way I want. That's not to say that 2.2 wouldn't be a welcome addition, I just know how much of a pain it's been getting it functioning properly on my last 3 devices.

I am really not in a huge hurry to get it. My phone is working great, just as my Droid 1 was working before 2.2 fried it and there began my move to the fascinate. They gave me junk replacement phones for my 6 month old, like new Droid, then they gave me a Droid 2 and extended my contract without my knowing, so I kicked and screamed and got the droid 2 exchanged for the Fascinate. So it is a little worrysome to me to think about frying another phone with a 2.2 update.

We will have Froyo by the end of October. This came from MULTIPLE Verizon Reps.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

I'm not holding my breath for any release date. It will be out when it's out. The only big things I'm interested in are increased speed, USB tether, and enterprise security features, and since my phone is already quite fast, I have wifi tethering, and use Touchdown for proper Exchange connectivity, I have no problem waiting. I will be disappointed if it doesn't come out this year though.

I hope it is coming soon. I can't wait for ROMs and kernels. And can you imagine how fast this will be with Froyo? It's already much faster on 2.1 than any phone I've used on 2.2, overclocked or not.

The Mytouch Slide isnt dead!

Many people think it is dead and there are no devs working on it anymore, but this isnt true. There are still multiple devs with this phone, yes some are working on other phones but look at this device, it has everything. We already have Froyo, and really we need the source to get the bluetooth working so now were only waiting for HTC to release the source. You could be on another device that is outdated or even unsupported anymore.
So be patient, well be getting S-Off and Official Froyo soon

I'm with you. Even Cyanogen takes care of Slide.

anyone remember the "froyo coming soon" in june? i don't we're going to get official froyo at all. Look at most roms, "updated 10/08!!!!" thats more than a month that it was updated, the development for this phone is dead.

Development isn't dead it's just slowed. There are new phones to work with. It's more fun to dev on a phone that's new and to an extent unknown than one that's pretty much given up all its secrets.

I'm not a developer, but I do know that this would be an extremely difficult task due to different screen resolutions. Just wait for official TMO Slide 2.2 and we'll have some great roms no doubt about that.

I knew that resolution may be challenge, but If that issue is beaten then it'd bring more options, this phone would reach its top development. I know its difficult, but it seems that we won't even gonna get Froyo from t-mobile, but devs made it possible!

We are. T Mobile has confirmed it on many occasions. If froyo is on the myTouch 3G...we will 100% get it on the Slide.

By the time we get official Froyo, there will be Gingerbread already for some devices I think. I wish they skipped Froyo to release Gingerbread update instead.

From HTC and Tmo's standpoint, updating these phones is gotta be the last thing on there minds.
Face it updating these phones doesn't make them any money.
Frankly they'd both be happier if you just bought another phone.
Manufacturers and Telco's are in the business of selling phones and cellular service.
Not making FREE updates.
I realize if we had official froyo from Tmo and the bluze source that would add additional functionality to our phones,
but, personally I don't even care.
What I mean is that I'm satisfied with what team douche and the bunch, as well as other devs are doing and have done for our phone.
I put more faith in what they will come up with than waiting on anything from HTC and Tmo.

You people(not all) are impatient, I had a cliq and they promised us 2.1 update last december, you when cliq users got it? Acouple weeks ago! Ya ok it maybe a little while but if you had any consideration of what their doing, youd be a little more patient. They have port the whole rom to 2.2, some may say that isnt so hard you go and try and port a app or something from 2.1 to 2.2, Goodluck. Also I talked to Cheifz and he said S-Off is done for the Slide and AlphaRev is waiting to finish S-Off for another device so they can release both at the sametime.

Third paragraph.

Stay Optomistic for 2.3 Root

Im always reading on here and people keep asking where the 2.3 root is and wondering if the devs have abandoned the Supersonic EVO 4G. Here is what I have gathered in regards to both of those questions.
The devs are working on the EVO3D to provide the community with root access on that device. From what I've gathered there are many things in the process that are similar to the Supersonic EVO 4G and some that are not. They have stated that they have Temp root available already and the Temp root should be sticky (Permanent) by the end of this week. I don't own an EVO3D so this doesn't mean much to me personally but what it does mean is that once the root becomes sticky for the EVO3D that we can look forward to there being more activity on the Supersonic EVO 4G forum. The devs haven't forgot about the Supersonic EVO 4G. Just be patient.
For more information go here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1140578

well atleast in november i get the reduced price for the evo 3d!

After reading everyone's side by side comparison, I don't see the point in buying a 3D. I'm hopeful for a new 4G root soon!

I don't agree with that. Sprint doesn't develop phones; they offer service. So to blame Sprint for hardware problems (HTC) or for software problems (Android/Google) is unreasonable. I mean you can call up Sprint and stress your point but your not going to get anything done in a timely fashion.

but who has the final say on the updates its the carrier! it is just hard to believe that with all the problems with the GB update Sprint/Google/HTC and anyone else is turning a deaf ear and blind eye.I could care less about root I just want my handset to work the way it did before the updates. that is all im asking for i know it will never happen ..
sorry for the rant ....Dont post much here but read and search ALOT

you make it sound like there are only a couple devs for the EVO and they have all abandoned it for the EVO3D. I guarantee you only a fraction of the people who have been working on the EVO have a 3D now. It's not like everyone jumped ship.
It tooks months to root the last update right? Give it some freaking time people.

i am gonna give it time and I have no choice and even offered some $$ to someone who can do it ... I am not that tech savy.... Ill go into my corner and wait patently

Exactly. I really think it will be rooted soon enough. The 3d is being worked on but even with all the work, HTC still needs to unlock it. They said they would unlock bootloaders for future phones but never specifically said the Evo3d or the Sensation.
I wonder what will happen if for some reason HTC decides not to do anything and people get stuck with the Evo3d that is unrootable. Too risky for me. At least we know our phone has been rooted many times.

There is no such thing as 'un-rootable'...

Comparing my wife's now unrooted Evo (thanks to a new refurb) side by side with my 3d....The 3d kills the OG Evo. That being said.....I still prefer her rooted Evo 4G over my stock Evo 3d.........Patiently waiting to root both. I'm sure it will be done. Both phones still have huge communities.

I wonder if we got together a bounty maybe it would be paid a bit more attention. I got a.replacement last week and its driving me crazy not being rooted. I really miss cm7 and I'm eager to try a few other roms. Considering I'm about to buy a used rooted EVO for the time being id rather donate to a developer instead. I have no problem paying someone for their.skill if I .don't have it. Hell I bought easy tether pro for $10 cause my EVO is my only internet access .

Ill throw 5 in

This. There is a lot of hopeful talk about being patient and exactly zero information about anyone working on the 4G. I hope I'm wrong, but for now it just reads like wishful thinking by those of us without the ability to root since the GB OTA (thanks HTC).
