http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/GalaxySFroyo
Help make a point! Please tweet, and spread the word...
We need JIT, and the other Froyo goodness......
With the iPhone 4 and the new Droid 2, and the EVO , you would think they want to compete....
Give it a rest. Samsung promised Froyo at the Galaxy S release, they have tweeted about it recently. It is an EXTREME MINORITY of people that even know what version of the software they have, let alone care about an update so this is simply pointless. So far, things point to something happening within a month, so relax, enjoy the phone you bought for what it was, hopefully we will get an OTA of the GPS/Lag fix in the next two weeks.
while i like your effort, I hate to say that this won't make froyo come any faster, samsung will roll out froyo if and when they feel like it, which if your a skeptic like me means possibly never, and this certainly won't make ANY of the devs work harder, their already working their butts off trying to figure this out. but i'll sign the petition lol.
samsung doesnt care about stupid petitions, or a couple of mongoloids asking for updates. as mentioned before me, its only a handful of us who actually know what needs to be fixed on the phone and want the latest software/firmware, most of the consumers can care less.
i've gone trough this with many htc phones where we would petition, email customer care, tech, sprint, htc their attorneys, everyone asking for our kernel source to comply with the GPL or whatever, didnt work.
2 reminders...
Beyond and Moment.
Kind Regards
It
Is
Coming
Brb making a petition so people stop asking when is Froyo coming or hoping Froyo is coming out sooner. Let Samsung stablize Froyo for the mainstream, would rather have a perfect release (or near perfect release) than a rushed release that ends up causing problems.
What the hell is jit??

I have a feeling with the amount of drooling people in here are doing over Froyo, it will be a huge disappointment ala not living up to the hype.
Aside from JIT and some under-the-hood/visual enhancements, there's nothing to get really excited about. We are getting a maintenance update (supposedly) next week that is said to fix the GPS, compass, lag, and add some new features. That to me is worth more than Froyo.
We need Froyo... duh!
What we don't need is another "we need/we want/where is froyo/froyo might be coming/possible froyo leak" thread or petition that will get us nowhere. It'll come out when it comes out.
Just wait until the end of the month. If anyone been following the rumors, samsung said froyo update will be out by end of september.
Plus, I see this patch as a good thing for the people that uses there gps a lot. It will hold then over until froyo.

I was browsing Samsung's Official Twitter & They posted this link: http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-says-all-galaxy-s-phones-will-get-android-2-2/
Samsung has mercifully confirmed at an event in New York this evening that all Galaxy S versions -- including the Captivate, Epic 4G, Vibrant, and Fascinate -- will be receiving updates to Android 2.2 Froyo later this year and offer compatibility with Flash 10.1. All of the devices will be shipping with Android 2.1 out of the gate, so considering that Froyo's already launched, we're sure there'll be no shortage of pressure to get the updates fast-tracked. Sprint says it won't be a long wait on the Epic, but otherwise, we don't have any time frames at this point.
So for the people who said "My cousins, brothers, dog said we won't get Froyo.." Well just Read & Weep

We already know we are, it's just a matter of when and since some people are so impatient or assume - since it was not released on Sept 23rd or during the first few days of Oct - then it won't come at all, but, like I said, they are impatient.

Well, Samsung; Please Define: "Soon" In terms of Time.
Because my definition of soon is not 1/4 of a year.
That article is from the end of June. Next...
OP article is from June, before the launch of the phone...
And of course we're getting Froyo, a pre-release build (JP3) was leaked quite a while ago.

Umm, didn't they say the behold 2 was getting an upgrade and it never did?
So I don't think them saying prior to release the Galaxy S will get an upgrade is gospel in any way as you seem to be putting it.
Still, I don't think there's more than 1 or 2 people here or really don't think we'll ever get 2.2.
It's just how long they'll take and the longer they take, the more people's trust they'll lose.
According to some sources, we are getting it in mid october. For GSM galaxy x's only.

you do realize thats only about a week away right? There is absolutely no way that we will see 2.2 in a week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, fuk if ever.
If I could sell this I would so get a g2. Unfortunantly with the 2 for 1 sale tmobile is having, theres like 50 brand new in box Vibrants going for 300 so no way I can sell this thing at the moment....
O well, stuck I guess, but I put money that 2.2 does not hit this month, or next, or ever.

after reading this post I will call it a stupid thread, and I hate to flame.
This is OLD info that doesnt really reflect any recent information. Since JUNE there have been alot of delays, and like I said in another thread, the galaxy s is still selling like crazy, so why would samsung put money into development when it doesnt have to? To please people who already gave them their money?
How about "to please their japanese customer base." Their Galaxy S phones just today hit the island of the rising sun today. They've sold 5 million of them thus far. They have no option but to upgrade us.
The froyo rom for the original Galaxy S is leaked alriady. Not to mention that Adobe has the captivate as one of the "coming soon supported devices" in their 10.1 supported mobile devices page.
ON the other hand, tmo might screw us over a little.

They don't have to give it to us. Its not gonna happen... Only way we get froyo is the devs here. I'm hoping eugene can make it happen. Screw samsung, tmobile and the cm team mainly WES...lol
Seriously as much as I'm pissed about not having froyo myself, it's not just us that got jerked around. If I remember HTC incredible users were being told froyo would be released for them in Julyish and they just received it in September. So if we were told September 23 which I believe wasn't specific to the vibrant then we should know it's not just us getting jerked around not just Samsung or t mobile.

There not high end enough, this is.....
a update this week on a Update? lol
Im gonna say no. Its the 6th of oct. now and I believe sept.28th is when the Kies update hit and Tmobile said do not update, Information about a update will be posted in a week or Upcoming week I dont remember. Well, a week has gone and past and nothing.
I will say I bet, that by the end of this week, lets say Saturday night, there will still be no word on a update.. I for one am rooted and flashed Eugenes Twiz final so I dont need a 2.1 gps fix or what not, I want froyo. Even then though I doubt there will be any word on any update this week.
So, POLL.
Edit: Please dont respond with, why does every *****, blah blah be patient a update is soon. SOON IS NOT 1/4 of a DAMN year, Every other SGS has had a update, hell Captivate has a leaked FROYO rom. How long will people keep saying, keep waiting, we will have it soon.
EDIT: I post threads like this so it bites me in the ass and we get a update sooner. See, it worked. WE got a update before my timeline was up...
they'll give us froyo when people stop asking every 5 minutes.

They have sold more than 5 million already and 2 million of that was in the US alone. Samsung is making money with the product as is so why throw a lot of money at development for a phone they have already sold?

i hope that they give us the froyo, especially now that phones that are built in with froyo are out in the stores and of course the galaxy tab too. i don't care if it's not this month or it will be by the end of the year, i just hope that they give it to us.
You know why they don't say anything definitive? Because if something goes wrong at the last minute and the deadline slips, they'll catch even more flak.
We can't make this go any faster. Nothing you say or do is going to make Froyo come out faster. Just go out and take a walk or something. Life will not end in the interval between now and Froyo.

Rumors just serve to piss people off when they turn out to be false, which they all do.
I'd love it if for once people would stop posting this type of thread over and over. Give the **** a break for real dudes. It will come out when it does. If you can't take it, can't deal with it then its simple get another phone with 2.2 or switch to another provider!

Woo! More unsubstantiated rumors.
With each failed attempt at guessing a release date, our chances of being correct on the next guess improve, right guys? Guys?
So EA17 means that it was completed on the 17th of January. So either they are clueless how to release this OTA without bricking devices or they are really testing the **** out of this one then. I hope its the latter case.
I feel like Charlie Brown going to kick the football. Surely Lucy won't pull it away again this time...
I think this one will actually be the one, theres already proof with that picture. Now Now, I know that it can be edited, but still, it seems like this date will be the one we were actually waiting for.
I just don't get it.
EA17... so it's already done.
It's not out because it's being tested.
So why is there a release date?
- If they know it's fine, it should be out already.
- If they expect it to fail, then how do they know it will be ready by a certain date?
If I had my way a lot would be different... but I don't understand how/why the final release will not be a build dated maybe a week before the actual release date, a date we will not know until it happens.

It makes perfect sense. They are going to test whatever they release for a while to make sure its polished. The rumor that AC received was probably that IF they dont find any major bugs in this version, it will be released on the 21st.
If they are so sure it's fine, they should release it now...
And if they DO find an issue, they'll disappoint everyone AGAIN.
This is nothing more than predicting the future, and they've been doing it poorly for 6mos now, why does Sprint think they'll get it right this time?
Releasing it at such-and-such date assuming all's well is what they have been doing since August.

This is nothing more than predicting the future, and they've been doing it poorly for 6mos now, why does Sprint think they'll get it right this time?

Sprint isn't leaking the rumors. It's individuals that work for Sprint who want to give us an idea of when we might expect it (then they find some bugs)... or just douchebags that want to throw out rumors for laughs. Again, Sprint doesn't say when they are releasing updates because that makes them look worse if it's buggy or they don't follow through.

I am running 2.2, it has some issues, but works remarkably well. No FC's, and only slight screen rotation lag. So I can wait for Froyo... I am willing to wait because I want them to fix any and all bugs... Whether that be GPS, keyboard misses, screen rotation, whatever..
I am not a Sprint Lacky, have no stock in the company, but how people can get so emotionally attached to a software upgrade is beyond me. I can only imagine what people will be saying if they released a rushed buggy version.
Those of us that flashed the FroYo DK28 will still get this OTA if/when it comes out, right?
Still getting used to this phone. The Nexus One I used to have was a lot different.
I'd be happy with a new leak that's better than DK28 instead of "release dates" for froyo.

Not exactly. You will have to flash stock DI18 for the OTA to come through and install. But I recommend waiting for our dev teams to get hold of it first to tweak it.

LOL, OK, so now we know for sure that it won't be out by Friday. Or ever.
Do we have to play this game again? I think everybody already know the answer considering our froyo wait.
I hate "Top Flight Security Mods"
I have a friend who works in the Sprint retail store and he told me that developers at Samsung are currently working on a Gingerbread for our Epic4g. He said the latest build was ZM>9000 and that they let him test it and it was pretty awesome.
Are you guys pulling my leg or telling the truth? lol

what else were you expecting?
Well, I just wanted your opinions, so I posted......................... lol, but I see now that much of the Galaxy S team has lost its spirit, but what if we get gingerbread before the EVO? How will it feel then?

It will feel horrible because it will be a buggy mess. Let them get Froyo sorted out before they begin to use this as a buggy base of their Gingerbread build. I do believe Samsung will deliver Gingerbread, but dont even think it will be before Summer 2011. I have nothing against Samsung really. They could do better with software support though. And you will find ridiculous skepticism among people at XDA for anything positive that is "supposed" to be coming from Samsung in the future.
Thats true, well then, I guess, well just wait and see, anybody else want to share opinions?
updates!
I personally do NOT think we will ever see another update past froyo...
We might get a froyo update to fix bugs and what not but as far as 2.3 ect, they will leave the epic by the wayside and focus on the galaxy S2 series and other newer phones. The epic was just a complete failure and they know it, thats why they are come out with galaxy S2.
well idk, its a tough call...
took a long time for froyo...
but then you can look at it like "well samsung sees how the US folk are all pissed off so they might start trying to release more updates bla bla"
if the epic does get gingerbread, dont expect any update past that..because past that Samsung will expect us to do our part and buy another Samsung device.
I think personally Gingerbread will come just to rebuild some goodwill with the people of this country. Then maybe with that, we would buy the next uber Samsung phone. At least by getting Froyo, my Evo owning friend can now shut up how his Evo is soooooo much better than my Epic because it hbas Froyo (even after showing him my pics and videos look better, screen looks nicer, can play more vido formats natively) because that was the only thing he could point at. Now we're even.
If Gingerbread comes, it's not going to be for a while; otherwise, why would they have bothered releasing FroYo?

Don't confuse Samsung, LEAVE EB13 as it stands!!
Finish GB so we don't have to wait until 2.4 or 2.5 drops before we get 2.3!
I got gingerbread ota yesterday. I'm expecting ice cream next week!
