Sooo... Did the Koreans get their Froyo update yet?

The Koreans were supposed to get their Froyo update at the end of last month, right? Did they get it or did Samsung miss the target? Just curious as to wether Samsung are on target for upgrade, or if we shouldn't expect to see the promised upgrade this month.
Regards

Rumored to be..

They all point to the claim made by Samsunghub, which claims it was "confirmed" by a samsung rep. We don't know if their rep worked with Samsung themselves though, and we don't know the reliability of their rep.

i'm in korea, and nope we havent received the froyo update yet.

Heh, I check every night because I don't follow a Korean blog (there is one that I do seem to link to on a lot of naver searches so I probably should just bookmark it).
When you get Froyo please post (start a new thread at xda, not this thread) and I'll do the same. I know many users who could use the info, will be unlikely to promptly hear without XDA or a western news source, and some don't even have Kies set up to occasionally check (but they'll be able to go to a Service center to get the update).
Thanks in advance.

Thank you samsung!

You kept your word gps fix...... In september ....... And lol @tmobile smh.... I hope we can get the froyo update thru kies as well.. I hope this fix have better battery life. Will update tomorrow on battery life.

People are having problem installing it though.
Still waiting for OTA.

I too am going to wait until the OTA drops. Hopefully by then it will get re-rooted. NEED my tether.

I tried and tried to get it to work not happening. Hopefully becouse of this the ota is close

The Kies software is a piece of junk. Waiting for OTA

i dont understand... why are people having so much trouble installing it. i did it on my hardware locked vibrant.... its pretty easy.

is everyone sure that there is going to be ota update so we dont have to go through the whole kies process? cause I cant get that to work.

Yeah, I don't understand why so many people are having issues with kies...

Can't even get KIES to open. Getting a MainStage error and it just closes out.

U basically see the post at droiddog. Go the kies samsung site, dl it n do not click on update when it ask you. Then you connect your phone from "samsung kies." Then u should see an alert for firmware update. Tadaa
The gps is amazing now.

Kies isn't even released for the US market so this cannot be the official method of installing the update.

If it's been released via Kies, Samsung has done this on purpose. I had some issues with Kies but I ultimately got the update. The new Kies has some
I do see a difference in GPS functionality, it seems more accurate. Just give it some time though

Not only is the update no longer available, but I talked to Samsung Tech support and they told me "There is no software available for Samsung Vibrant. If you download KIES it won't even work for your phone. Any update will be pushed OTA."
Maybe someone accidentally flipped the switch?

Not that switch!!! Nooooo!!!!!

even though it is pulled, hope it means that OTA is coming very very soon

DK28 is posted NOT 100% its final Sorry

Exactly which there is a 99 % chance of it being a RC since it's still very buggy and flawed, nevermind the fact google is hosting it.

of course sprint is calling this a leaked experimental release. But i give them credit for at least making moves in the right direction for froyo. I see alot of happy users so far with minor issues.

The only things I can find on Sprint's site -- the most recent posts from Sprint admin as of last night -- expressly deny that there has been an offical update:
The official Sprint version of the upgrade has not been released. When it is, I will post a thread to the Samsung Epic forum and update the Samsung Epic Maintenance Release blog. If you want to receive a notification when it's available, subscribe to the blog.

Nothing at all about dk28

no more GPS?
I don't see anything at all on my Sprint page about this update or even anything specific to the version of software on my phone.
I installed this update earlier today and the GPS on my phone no longer works. It worked before and I never noticed any problems or delays that others reported. I've tried wiping the data and cache numerous times and even re-installing the upgrade but nothing seems to work.
Does anyone have any other suggestions on what I might try? At this point I question whether or not this is the same update we'll receive OTA...
Thanks,
Scott

So you think Sprint's plan is to push this update to everyone OTA and then have all the end-users install Odin and fix it? Even while denying that there is such a release? Hilarious!
This is not an official rollout. It is a leak. Those who install it, and are comfortable with some level of hacking, may proceed at their own risk, as usual.
But no one should believe this is an official release from Sprint.

That would be great.

Is it actually worthwhile to update from dk17 to dk29? I'm not really having any issues on dk17. Might just wait to confirm its final before going through the reinstall process.

Um.. That makes no since..
He had to odin BACK to di18 because he installed a leak..
the official is based off the knowledge of the user never hacking the phone and leaving it stock.
Therefore; no the average user will not need to use odin.. infact won't even know about it.
But those who have come to xda WILL need to odin back to stock di18 in order for the official Froyo to work when it is launched.

Suppose you got an update OTA. Wouldn't you consider it official?
If you have followed the original thread (which has been closed), the update happened OTA to a non-Sprint person. That is why many people claim it's official.

Why would Samsung release DK28 as official Froyo full of bugs when their Eclair builds were flawless? It doesn't make any sense. I sure wish people would stop saying that this is the official release and confusing new people. This is NOT the official release. There is NO evidence for that. Its NOT a finished product at this point.

UGH. How many times does this need to be explained? He had a .4 hardware revision. .4 hardware revisions are for TESTERS. He received the update OTA because SOMEHOW he got ahold of a hardware revision that only TESTERS should have. This has all been discussed a thousand times.
Also, if this WAS the official release it would be a disaster for sprint.

I didn't remove the link. It still works. But the Sprint site is very slow today. If you manage to get through, you will see that the quote above is accurate.

Acer_A500_1.141.01_EMEA_GEN3 and Honeycomb 3.1

Anyone receive the new Honeycomb 3.1 update yet OTA? officially?
I'm from South Africa and am unsure if my device can even detect the update (maybe the incremental 3.0.1 update damaged my OTA updates) or if it hasn't beeen released yet.

I also have 1.141.01_EMEA_GEN3 and am still waiting for the OTA. I've been searching for links all over to the official OTA link, but can't find it anywhere. I'm in the netherlands ( although i'm also a south african : )

Same here, no 3.1 OTA yet ... living in Belgium but bought the Iconia in Holland.

thanks
thanks for the reply guys at least I know I'm not alone.
Looks like our version is the EU release so it will definitly get the update.
m
My manufacture date is April 2011. What's ur manufacture date?

No idea, how can i tell? Doesn't say anything in the menus about manufacture date. I bought it in May, and since they were only around a few weeks, i'm guessing it was also April.

See back of box on barcode sticker. Also states operated countries.

Also April 2011 ... and bottom right it shows AEB NL
Marcher

i'll have to dig up my box

I have a 1.141.01_EMEA_GEN3 manually updated from 1.105.01 and still not getting OTA to 3.1.
Offtopic.
Hope you can help me to solve a riddle in my mind my device label in the back of the box has:
A500-10S16m (top right corner, I think is model number)
Part No. XE.H60PN.004
Countries: PA MX
And had a stock build: Acer_A500_1.105.01_EMEA_GEN3
I'm starting to think that out there are at least two different models of A500 that uses EMEA_GEN3 build, that explains why some of us had the "wifi error" when manually upgraded to 1.141.01.
Please if you are willing to share with us your model number part number and countries, PM me, or post it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1155664

So i tried out the download link for our firmware, linked to in:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1159443
And it works great! even with everything 100% stock. Of course usual disclaimers apply, fear the wifi bug, cookie monster and borg, etc.

Mine is:
A500-10S32
Part No :XE.H6LEN.004
Mfg Date: May 2011
operated countries :AT, BE, CY, CZ, DK, EE, FI, FR, DE, GR, HU, IE, IT, LV, LT, LY, MT, NL, PL, PT, SK, SI, ES, SE, GB, IS, LI, NO, CH, BG, RO, TR.

Yeah I was also considering it but gonna give it a month before I throw in the towel.

Any news folks? I still have mine 1.141.01_EMEA_GEN3 not updated...

Yeah, I'm also not getting anything, also 1.141.01_EMEA_GEN3. I live in South Africa and bought the tablet here.
I'm getting pretty pissed off with Acer. Does anyone know the country update schedule?

There will be an update by the end of this month. That's what Acer Poland claims. For EMEA users of course.

Can't get any more end monthish than now... Still no update here. I start loosing temper especially that my desire z performes better with some webcasts than iconia ...

This is getting very annoying. Some other devices is getting 3.2 already and we still struggling to get 3.1. Only reply Im getting from the guys at Acer is that it takes time to modify and test the new version ..... WTF?!
If I knew this was gonna be the issue, I might rather have gone for something like the ASUS. Anyways .... just ranting a bit
No update as of yet.

I've also got my a500 in MX and updated to 4.010.38_ COM_GEN1 and it works great. Never had any ota before and after.

have you just bought the note?
where is the note from and what android version did u have installed.. kk4? la4?

you are right. i have a LA4 version now

Where do you live?
Ffs, i think I'm at the end of the world ... Still on KK5 and no OTA update for me ):

i am in canada

how do i find out where my phone is coming from? please advice.
after LA4 update. everything seems so much faster.!!! i am very happy with this update

I'm also on KK5 and no update for me.

No OTA update for me. German Note (DBT CSS) and I am on LA4 now (since a few weeks ago). So we're on the same page

I am at the end or the world: Oz!
I have not had any update since the first in late Dec when I got the phone. Still KK5

Seriously!
Yeah now why we have'nt been getting updates since last year(Dec) I don't get it :/
All UK ones are not getting it unless you do it manually! DBT ones are being pampared looks like!

how to check where my phone is coming from?

How is it some people get the update and their Note flies and others get it and it lags? My homescreens move jerkingly across as I move them over.
I'd remove it if I knew how. I hate the new keyboard too. Wish I could get the original kb back somehow.
I could type without ever messing up, now it's like any other touchscreen keyboard and I'm constantly deleting letters I didn't mean to type.

My GT-N7000 just downloaded an update to LA4. I have it on push updates, but it didn't tell me about it - only when I manually asked it to check through the settings (not Kies, but that might have worked too. I think I did this yesterday too, so it's pretty new).
It's the first update I've received since I got my phone mid-December (I've been checking quite often), unfortunately I can't remember for sure what version it was on - it was 2.3.6, I think KJ6 but am not 100% certain. The region is TGY (Hong Kong). The download was 80.63MB.
Things I've noticed:
- Phone/S Memo icons are a bit different (yeah... I'm writing things down in the order I notice them)
- S-Pen calibration seems much better. The Auto-Rotation bug is gone (where if you toggle auto-rotation it would write a good 1cm off).
- Scrolling in some ListViews is much smoother. For example, scrolling in G+ used to be really jerky, it's now smooth.
- When you scroll a list view too far the effect is a bit different
- The screen takes just as long to come on after pressing the power button.
Maybe all of this is old and everyone else has been on LA4 for ages, but I thought I'd post it anyway.

Quite simple, the note will recieve a full blown ICS update and the device does not need more updates for the Gingerbread branch, its all ready on the newest api-level.
My own insider contacts have said it will be quite soon after the SGS II ICS update that the Note will get its own.
I would bet that a ICS running version is on display at MWC in barcelona in three weeks.

yeah.. I notice those changes too.. everything run very smooth. very happy with the new update.. and excited for the ics..
