samsungukmobile from twitter,
We’re very sorry about the delay with the release of Froyo. We're working on it round the clock & will post an update as soon as we have one
just read that myself, thank god an update of some sorts
oh wow!! the actually replied to my question?
You Brits are lucky! Here in Canada we cant even get answers to the simplest of questions, nevermind about froyo!
Sure hope that this is a sign of hope for us as well!!!
Same response on their facebook page. Three weeks it took them to give some sort of Froyo related response after countless angry people posting on their page asking about it.
You see Samsung, it wasn't that hard, was it?

Er, over the last month @samsungukmobile have been asked this question daily a great number of times, by many different people, and have ignored them all until now... so methinks this is perhaps not "your question" that they are responding to.
You have no idea how hard that took for me to get the message across to the UK P.R. Manager at Samsung:-
Mike
Having been in communication with Samsung regarding the GPS problems which have been experienced. They are confirming that the Froyo update should resolve these issues and be available via the Samsung Kies interface within the next 1-2 weeks.
Your comments regarding the Twitter & Facebook response time have been forwarded onto Samsung for them to investigate.

I still say next year...
Well, I read somewhere, that they expect the release of Froyo between the end of October and the beginning of November. I would rather get the proper and working Kies firstly...
(I hope this time there is not going to be any server fault and I will not lose my whole profile again >:3)
Round the clock sounds promising.

It's a good thing you're not the people who decide on when to release it then.
Here's a tweet from @Googlemobile:
Our cafes are baking something sweet http://twitpic.com/3682u2 (4 minutes ago via web)
I know i won't be able to install the ota since i'm rooted, but i'm excited nonetheless!

Did this honestly need another thread?
Oh ****! Not another thread about Gingerbread!!!
This is getting so old...
Oh no, not another complaint about another thread!
Relax, it's not like i'm killing trees or taking up space by posting this. I didn't have time to go through the entire forum just to make sure i didn't hurt your feelings. A popup appeared showing possible similar threads, none of them matched, so i submitted it. No need to cry about it.
Thanks.

There are about 5 GB threads on the first page. Maybe you should start a few more because it will do a lot of good for all of us.

To all the complainers, why are you clicking on the threads then?
Mo_Nexus, thanks for the info.
OP, thank you for posting the information. While I wouldn't have created a new thread
myself it still is new news nonetheless so I appreciate it.
Hopefully the mods either lock the excess threads or merge them to de-clutter the forum.

I can understand if the thread title was Google announcing Gingerbread!!!
But it's "Google announcing Gingerbread soon?"
With most thread titles, no one can tell exactly whats in the posts.
Just wait for the thread title "Gingerbread is here!!" and click no others than. Simple.

No problem, and i agree, all existing threads should consolidated or something. Hopefully there'll be no need for that if Google stops teasing us & releases 2.3 already.
Cool dude, thanks for the info and welcome this a public forum and everyone share his knowledge, always here like this, when someone post anything even said hi u will see many of the guys here saying sucks comment. THIS IS JUST HOW IT IS. keep going and when u have something to post don't think a lot, JUST POST, if i want to read i will read if i don't i will leave u just thanks

actually they are teasing with us. they just dont bother their sorry ass to give a proper release date. they just dont even care about to give out an spesifications about the new system. nothing. just some fake news also new screenshots could be fake too. we simply dont know anything about new update. 4 example is the new crappy youtube app staying? what about horrible keyboard?
it just could be stupid update without any new features. also it could be something revolutionary like eclair. but we already knew them BEFORE the eclair released. were just waiting for google's jokes if whole gingerbread is just about some stupid skin and stuff.

Please tell me english isn't your native language, I'll totally understand then. Anyhow Google have 0 commitment to providing us with pre-release info. It's *UNRELEASED* therefore they could deny the existence of GB itself and are completely within their right to do so. These little bits of info like not so secretive tweets are just a bit of fun, surely I'm not the only one who likes the suspense/surprise regarding the lack of GB info?
just as the title \

Oh WOW!! That's great news. Hopefully MS will never know about this and start patching those stuff. The least I would want is to start the fight against firmware updates just like with the iPhone, being that it was the main reason I got out of the platform.

A bit hard don't you think when the info is now on two websites (posted link and here) and is sure to spread like wildfire to others!?!?
Great news though!
Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!
please wait... it is not "official" yet...
Where's the poop robin?
No, but seriously, who's the source of all of these "info"?
the only quote there is of Da_G saying that's the security is tougher.
If this is true, then meaning of this info is only one:
Fully working Windows Phone 7 port on HD2 is possible!
THIS IS AWESOME! We're eagerly waiting for news, but please, do not spam boards again as it was couple days ago ;/.

Hahahahaha, he said it at 8:02, 20 minutes later it's already on a major news site for smartphones....
geez, these guys are celebs...
Well anyway it doesn't say that we're going to see the port soon.
I Suggest closing this thread before all of the leechers get here and start complaining.
EDIT: Well, some will say this effort had no impact, others will not be so naive and realize the voices of MANY of you were heard. Really applaud everyone... regardless if it helped or not, Samsung has stated that they have heard us AND that it's something they are not used to, but will make an effort... I feel like this is success.
OTA should start tomorrow. Source should be released very shortly after that:
http://opensource.samsung.com/
THANK YOU ALL FOR HELPING!!!
For those not certain why this thread was created: PLEASE READ
--------------------------------INITIAL POST BELOW------------------------
I generally remain calm and try and remain upbeat and defend... but the news (rumor/leak) about Samsung holding off the froyo release to sell more phones set me over the edge.
While nothing is confirmed, I still believe Samsung needs to be aware of just how pissed they are making our community. I'm not talking stupid class action, blah blah... I simply want our voice heard, and for a Froyo release to happen ASAP... but beyond that, I want them to adhere to the Open Handset Alliance and release their source for our developers.
http://www.openhandsetalliance.com/
I believe we all now who is going to put out a better product, and right now they (our developers) are handicapped because they do not have everything they need.
That said, we need to be organized!
We need twitter to trend AND we need to spread it all over Facebook! I am ignorant and have no interest in learning Facebook. I know the majority of you use it daily so I am going to rely on you guys for that!
To do this on twitter, we all need to use the same #hashtag. We also need to threaten something that means something to them... the whole problem is they are not updating to help with their sales (allegedly). Well, we need to threaten to never buy Samsung again.
Please use this #Hashtag:
#NeverAgain
would work.... it is easy to use, short and to the point.
An example: (just copy/paste this if you like)
[email protected] & @Samsungtweets I will never buy a Samsung product after the way you've treated your customers. #NeverAgain

I don't have twitter or anything, but for this cause, I'll make one...
Still on my vacation till the 12th of Feb...
Ill try to do it on my phone.
Yes, a vacation of 3 months, hehe!
Sent from the helm of Vibrant Territory!
Awesome, please do what you can people... the whole point is to be organized, make it trend on twitter and Samsung will be forced to respond. Maybe that is why I am so upset, they have not made any effort to debunk these rumors.
I personally am tired of defending them...
Do u suggest I keep saying it or just like once a day?
to be most effective, I think you should post this is all US galaxy s variant forums. Fascinate, Epic, Captivate, and the other one or two. Get all US Galaxy S users to do this too!
btw, i dont have a twitter account or have ever used it. any suggestions on how to post your message once i create a twitter account?
EDIT: i just set up a twitter account, how do i post that hashtag to samsung?
Creating an account is super easy (and the best way to keep up with our developers). Once you have the account created, just PM me if you need help.... you could just copy/paste what I have in the OP if you like.
#NeverAgain... waiting for a dual core HTC on TMO then dumping the vibrant...
I would never ever imagine this coming from you but you actually did a pretty good thread. I don't think it would make diffrence, people aren't going to follow up, XDA is a small portion of all samsung phones.
Like someone said samsung is known for their eletronics that are release as is, no follow up update. As big as they are they become greedy. Its a company out out for money, "making a new phone with new software" will get the most sales.
If they give us froyo now it will drop their new phone sales dramactecly (spelling). Because an old phone will be cheaper then a new phone The vibrant 4G isnt really a big update besides the FFC and HSPA+. Thereby the orignal vibrant.will get.bought.
Another thing to think about is when the vibrant 4G/plus gets out we will not get froyo right away, maybe a month after.

K, done. I doubt it will have any effect on whether we see updates for our Vibrants but at least I've contributed to the "user outrage", such as it is.

Update log is very sketchy regarding what will be supported. It doesn't give any details.
This is a full release, not a beta, but it's nowhere to be found on public Huawei update servers as of yet.
I've got it installed and have not seen any major differences from other versions yet.
Unfortunately, still no VoLTE

Is there a lot of Japanese text still there after choosing English as device language? Does hivoice work in English I wonder?

I just checked, but I noticed that on the Japanese version, there is no voice control or voice wake-up.
There is no Japanese text after choosing English. It's actually got the least junkware of any build I've tried so far.

My job is finding firmwares and making them available to install. That's what I do, 12 hours a day.
I have been contacted by XDA directly with XDA expressing interest in the details of the firmware I find. Many people on this forum want to know about new versions and changes in upcoming versions.
When I find something, I'll announce it, of course. If there is another way to download and install it, feel free to use it. I'm not stopping you.
