Is anyone else worried about Bell - notorious for their service - SGS will receive froyo really late or may not even get one?
I e-mailed samsung and got this result.
Hello,
The Froyo update needs to be approved by Bell. As you know, the update is not available yet.
Now I am doubly worried.
What does everyone think?
We are virtually receiving no news what so ever
and we only had one firmware upgrade so far from Bell......
The stock Bell firmware is really good though, why do we need update after update? One update is plenty. Bell won't hold the froyo update long on their flagship Android phone, especially when competing with the Captivate and Desire. If they're really slow, you can just flash the international one.

i can say we are the luckiest of all the Galaxy S releases
we got the least problems, and the phone pretty much worked great, almost perfect out of the box
the only thing i'm looking forward in Froyo is:
- the Apps to External SD feature
- the support for BT mouse and keyboard
- build in Screen capture (currently using ShootMe)
that's all, as the phone is working so good, there is little to wish for,
...well perhaps if they give away $1 million US for each firmware upgrade, then i'll be looking forward to it
They BETTER NOT hold back on froyo for us or I will be going to the Bell Tower here in Edmonton and shoving this $500.00 phone up some Bell Corporate executives A$$!!!
I did NOT spend $500.00 on this phone to be crippled by Bell and not be able to upgrade to froyo (or beyond) because Bell dosent want to approve it. Whats not to approve? Its pretty simple and straight forward to me...
It's not that Bell isn't approving it, there is nothing for them to approve, Samsung hasn't finished the ROM yet. Samsung just gave their canned response.

I sort of thought that as well but with Bell you just NEVER KNOW I guess... lol!!! I am waiting patiently but I sure wish Samsung Mobile Canada would say SOMETHING on the facebook page... GIVE US HOPE!!!

Exactly!
at this point it's just the blame game to buy time for their Coders to finish their bug fixes
lol bell is going to approve froyo, I would very much doubt with rogers soon to offer the same galaxy s phone they would keep it at 2.1
If they don't approve it, remember that Sasktel also has the same i9000M. You can grab 2.2 from them once it comes out.

I have froyo on my other phone and the features I'm really liking forward to are:
- voice commands everywhere
- chrome to phone
- new gmail app
- faster speed
I couldn't care less when our if Bell releases it, as updating firmware on the Galaxy S is soo easy because of Odin.
Yeah I would not worry about it.
Besides we still have Odin !

I find it weird that the Rogers Captivate is coming out of the box with 2.1 on it still though too. Why would they be releasing a phone in November or whenever it comes out that has 2.1 on it? Why not wait to launch with 2.2?
Is this another indicator that 2.2 is a LONG time a comin?
chrome to phone is available for download on Android Market

@AllGamer, I just looked on the Market for Chrome to Phone and all I see is a few "fake" Chrome browsers... No actual "Chrome to Phone". I searched it word for word and got nothing. Where did you see this?

@AllGamer, This is a copied and pasted coment from one of the users on appbrain... 2.2 only?! WHYYYYYYY?"
This is only for use with froyo and we are still on 2.1. Can you confirm that this is working on 2.1?
that's what i said on my previous message
it needs 2.2 to run, but it's not part of froyo
there are 3 good apps i want to install when we get 2.2
flash 10.1
Network Stats per App
and Chrome to phone

My apologies. I must have misunderstood your post. Yes... These would be nice apps to have but I am mostly interested in Apps2SD which will be nice for keeping the phone as clean as possible. Also... I find the Skyfire browser does an nice job of flash movies / vids. Will the 10.1 Flash app really make that much of a difference?

Again... What is the difference between the flash 10.1 app and just using Skyfire?
Skyfire does flash great but only insid skyfire
you still need flash 10.1 if you have Other Apps that requires flash to run properly, i came across a few of those, forgot the name, as i uninstalled them as soon as they asked for newer version of flash which as this point we can't install because we are on 2.1
So I am trying to set up video chatting for phone to PC use. I have found that Yahoo works, but it only comes out the back camera of my phone. Does anyone know of a fix for this? Or is this standard? If so, are there any other apps?
I have only ever heard of Yahoo working from phone to PC. Thanks in advance.
My ffc worked before I installed CM7. I also have been trying to figure this out. help!
I also want to know!

I am pretty damn surprised that this isn't a more popular question. Barely any replies. I still have had no luck with any phone to PC that works with FFC.
I see you are in Maui. Right on bra, born and raised. Live on the mainland now. Upcountry represent. MAUI BUILT.
Look for "CM7 Yahoo camera fix" or something like that, in Development forum.

i have the same problem but i dont think it has anything to do with cm7.. yahoos video chat doesnt work with gingerbread. thats why i think it doesnt work right. but im not 100% sure of that but makes since. it doesnt show that it works for gingerbread if u read what devices it supports for the add on video chat thing for yahoo messenger
Google coming out with their gtalk app its a pc to phone phone to phone app. Wait for that as it will be significantly better. Yahoo won't work as it looks for the hacks in froyo to get the ffc to work they need to upgrade for gingerbread support so that that can use correct api.

yeah, I thought it was really funny how the day after I posted in this topic, Google made that announcement.
also, I'm born and raised here in Maui as well, but I'm moving to Honolulu in a few weeks.
Cant find gtalk on the market right now, my guess the new version will be out very soon.

Hi there,
I heard of Iris but for me it's.. well.. not that great. So I've created my own app called Risi. You can try it for free on the Android Market.
It would be great for me if you could test it a bit and give a little review of what Risi does well and things that are still missing. I'm going to include that new features then to make it an real Siri-Alternative for those without an iPhone.
Regards,
AndroidChromeOS
i don't know for some reasons its not speaking ... but replying fine!
I think it's a great idea and works but the engine it's a bit hit and miss. Even if the voice to text is recognised the suggestion sometimes is a bit random. Why not use Wolfram engine? No guesses why Wolfram apk hasn't been updated in market for a while.

Hi,
The application does not work on HTC Desire HD.
And I think he does not understand French?
Its betfer than iris.
u should include better ui , risi speaking to us.
better brains.
sent from the beast known as samsung galaxy s. ;-)
Thanks for all that feedback. Risi will speak soon to you.. I'm currently working on this. The program is already connected to trueknowledge, thats something similar to wolfram alpha. The problem is that the chatbot is before that technology so he have to decide witch informations have to be fetched. But thats what I'm going to fix today. Please stay tuned

Good luck, don's stress yourself too much.
Hope to hear from you soon
Thumbs up !
i dont need it to talk, but what is it for? it doesnt do anything other than say
"ill consider that for u"
or
"what are the ingridients"
I don't know what you've said to him but he only recognizes english atm
She's speaking now!!!!!!1111
Good !
And the French version please ?
I like !
Can it recognize german?
No it's english only at the moment. But I may add other languages in the future
I've tried other "assistants" and they always have that robot "Moon Accent" as Peter Griffin says.
This the same or no?
Yeah sure its the Google TTS-Service.. Write another one frome scratch would take years.
Woow cool its faster than Iris and it has a better chatbot. Keep on your great work.
all i could get her to say was Hi. She would say nothing more.
how should this work? i cant do anything in the app. it only says hi and thats it, cant click the mic or anything. do i miss something?

Noob here, and maybe a noob suggestion. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
You said that your wife's phone got to install the apk. Couldn't you use ES File Explorer or something to back up the app and get the apk? I think you don't need root to be able to do that.
If you do manage to get it, I hope you share the apk here too. The Android market doesn't want to play nice with any of my devices when it comes to the Halo Waypoint app.
Thanks!
I've been trying some different things ill see if i can try that.

it appears as if this .apk is only for dual core devices. I just downloaded it to my Transformer w/o problem but it will not run on my Glacier.
To add, the app is also picky with regard to user location. It says not available for your country on my KF.

Its really disappointing that they hype this all over and they release it 8/10 customers cant download and use it. They hype it for months and never say that it couldn't run on single cores. Still trying to figure something out

Motorola have promised it before the end of the year. Given that Intel have ported JB to their platform and hopefully Google will be involved on some level, I am hopeful for a fairly rapid update. But who knows.

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone managed to install Skype on this device? It seems to only work on ARM based devices, so just wondering if it works on the Razr I. I love the look of this phone, however, skype is a must for me.
Can anyone let me know if it is compatible?
Thanks
i've installed it just now. i've not got an account (or want one) so got no further than the login page. but i guess if it did not work it would not install?
