Froyo deleyed till the end of October

http://www.mobilecrunch.com/2010/09/22/samsung-galaxy-s-update-delayed-until-october/
For galaxy s phones.

With the recent update I figured it would happen. No point releasing an update only to release an even bigger one in a weeks time.

Im surprised no one has ported the leaked 2.2 rom for the galaxy S phones.

Apparently the UK is getting it at the end of this month...so it's pretty much a crapshoot.
http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/22/samsung-galaxy-s-meets-froyo-by-months-for-t-mobile-uk-customer/

I'll take the average and say October 15th
Now go quote me on blog websites so that I appear credible

Ya so Europe gets the update at th end of october... sprint cdma = end of december.. if we're lucky.

I think it's dumb that phones are even launching with 2.1 now... but to be honest, I only want 2.2 for full flash support. I'm happy with the phone otherwise. I can wait.......

my dock wont be fully functional until 2.2 comes out. boo.

Yeah, can you imagine what it was like to be running a phone with 1.5 when 2.0 came out? Sucked. Especially since Froyo was announced before the Hero even got 2.1 (thank god for devs!)

Today is September 23, no Froyo for Samsung galaxy s?

Samsung promised that today should upgrade SGS to Froyo, but nothing??

ROFLMAO!!
Nobody promised anything

No. Not today.

It's better that way instead of another crappy firmware and this time official. They will go to hell if they do that

Samsung just announced that there will be no froyo for galaxy s. Are you happy now

Hi vlad,
As reported in several other topics, September 23 was less than a rumour, Samsung never said officially that this was "Froyo day".
AFAIK what we know by now is that T-Mobile branded SGS should be upgrade before the end of the month (which could mean even on 09/30), and it looks like that no brand SGS won't be upgraded before mid october.
Again, what we are talking about are just rumours, there's no official date from sammy.
Still I'd rather wait few days more and get a decent firmware.
edit: please try to make a search next time, before posting.

totally useless to open a topic about something that not happened,

I do not know. No. Yes.

Lets just wait for it when it comes. Lets not speculate. Let Samsung build a decent firmware with all the important fix especially to enable JIT. I am happy with JPH for now.

not in the development child forum! dewdoodude.

The only official statements from Samsung (in facebook) is End of September for UK, End of October for Spain, India,... T-Mobile also stated End of September for their clients...
Saw some statements from users that contacted their operator and in some cases it will be available this week....
Definitelly it will not be released Worldwide at the same time. Patience.

+1 Agree. I'm Still with the official JM2 and I'm not in a hurry to get Froyo unless it fixes the pending issues.
(I hope this is not the same as Micro$oft and it's Windows Vista. )

The morale of the story is to be happy with what you have (eclair) and don't wait for froyo.
Otherwise buy some other phone which already has froyo.

Keep waiting... Maybe we will get froyo during christmas. Presents from Samsung.

For waiting the official froyo, i just flash the jm8 with rom tatayuma....

Even with the 'end of September' comment they still didn't say which year.

Haha Verry funny, maybe 2012 when at the end of the world

Quoted from Samsung Mobile Singapore Facebook:
Hi Muhd, our local R&D team have not passed the Froyo software as yet. We are trying to rush HQ to send us the new software for testing. Realistically, we would expect some delay with this week being the Korean Thanksgiving holiday week. We will keep everyone posted on the timeline as soon as we get confirmation.
Hi Weijian, we would love to but these are all controlled by our HQ in Korea. This week being Korean Thanksgiving holiday week does not help. The current Froyo software being tested locally is not satisfactory so there is a good chance the official release to end consumer will be in Oct.
The Koreans are in holiday. Not froyo day apparently.

Froyo for SGS at the end of october

Samsung_mobiles twittered some News to the relasedate of froyo for the sgs. If this i posteted elsewhre please delete.
"Samsung_Mobiles
All our users who are waiting for froyo , please note that froyo is expected to launch by end of this month. No exact dates are confirmed."
http://twitter.com/Samsung_Mobiles/status/26579290440

The tweet is quite clear yes. However Samsung_Mobiles is not a verified twitter account so there's no telling if they are indeed Samsung India or just some random account so be careful with accepting those claims as absolute truth.

Sorry didnt know and havent looked that Samsung_mobiles is not verified. But youre right, and before there will be great discussions.. Please close this thread, dear mods.

well i do not believe on any news now..samsung has been known for its customer annoyance syndrome regarding updates for long. better try cutom roms.. coz they r big time liars.. dt b surprised if they say "end of november" at end of october...like before

Oh stop whining, it took HTC 9 (!) months to give their early Hero customers an upgrade from 1.5 to 2.1. The Galaxy S got released with 2.1 and it's not even been on the market for half a year and they're obviously very busy working on an update.

Ah, because HTC was slow to update Hero we must shut up our mouths?

Samsung's promise is worth nothing. Froyo is when we see it.

I would like to nag but why should I? Rather let them take some time to polish it up a bit since this will be the last official update available for our phone (damn)
So please just take it as a man, say; "oh i can wait a couple of weeks more" cos by the end of October you'll receive a new phone, eventhough we're tricked with merely new software
meanwhile, kinda happy with the unofficial froyo =/

No companies promises are worth anything generally..

Originally Samsung said that Froyo update will be available THIS YEAR.
Not end of september/october/november.
I do have official Froyo update (it's a jp3 version but I still got it at the official service) and still waiting for the final release via Kies.
So as far as I'm concerned, Samsung kept their promise. No complaints from me.

There's so many roms out there from multiple developers that I think froyo can wait and bring out a polished 2.2

http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/13/samsung-commits-to-september-updates-for-galaxy-s-gps-woes/
And for Froyo
http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/samsung-confirms-galaxy-s-will-get-froyo-in-september/
And in Smsung Spain Facebook page they promised an update for September.

There's nothing official about statements on Twitter or Facebook as long as there's no press release to accompany them.
There's a crapload of work that goes into managing a ROM release cycle and decently testing every update, something they might be inclined to do better this time after all the trouble they got from the original release.
Besides, it says 'Expected', not "Will be released on $date and you can quote us on it".

Closed at OP request.

Stuck on DI18

Hey all. I am curious, are you guys all getting Froyo by doing a manual update??? I am trying the UPDATE FIRMWARE option (currently on DI18) and getting a message that I am on the latest version.

If you search the forums a bit you will find your answer.

Milkman, I'm in the same boat - been searching forums, seems like folks who want OTA will have to wait.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

dude above is hinting for the manual update of the OTA released update. I am on 18 also waiting for OTA. If I didn't have hw id go for it. I just dont have time if i brick my phone in the process.

Thanks Big. I wish the other reply was more helpful, like maybe a link or something. I love how people tell you to search when you already did...
I may just do the update using clockwork, but was hoping to do OTA.
I will holdout a little longer to see if it magically appears on OTA.

The comment was referring to the fact that this has been extensively covered already in the forum. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861213 has the instructions on how to apply the OTA update to a stock Epic.
The official OTA hasn't been released by Sprint/Samsung yet, DK28 is just the most likely final release.
The instructions above will show you how to update, I updated my wife's stock Epic last night with no issues.

thank you elite, as a new android user this isn't really apparent, even from the bulk of that thread - that this isn't an official OTA sprint release.
There are folks that are reporting they got froyo from an OTA update, which counters your information. I wonder how true or untrue that is.

If sprint hasnt released the official froyo then why are users getting it OTA. I call bs on your statement.

yep, I second that call mbkowns.

The OTA was being pushed to specific test phones, with the Hardware version D700.0.4
No one has determined how those got in the wild, almost everyone has version .5
The update was only pushed to the .4 phones, again this is all in the dev section.

if that is the case, then how do folks know that its the 'official' froyo release? I can see that the dl link is from an authoritative source, but its not telling.
i.e. if its not available to all subscribers then its not a release, right?

It is not the official release, just a possible release candidate that was sent to the .4 phones only.
Basically, a guy last night noticed that Di18 updated to DK28 and posted it here. after several hundred posts, we all realized that it was only for .4 phones. Those are supposedly developmental phones that got released with the mainstream .5 phones. How? We do not know.
But since it was an OTA for those phones, a ton of folks have assumed that it was the final official release.
Either way, I ODINed my old DG27, got gps fix in Maps, then ODINed the latest. It's not a bad process, just touchy, and since then I've enjoyed the best Froyo ROM yet.
I hope this helps.

It is not the official release from sprint to the general public, it is a release candidate that they will let devs test for a few days. If devs report no issues they will start the official OTA release.
Sent from my Epic using XDA App.

thats great info, I fear however that due to the reportings of xda and engadget, etc.. that most folks will or have interpreted this event as an official sprint release of froyo. I am in no particular hurry for froyo on my epic but as this news has panned out it has caught my and others attention in an apparent dubious way - surely due the reportings and not in any way of the xda members.
if this is true, this is an important point that folks should be aware of *before* doing their own joyous upgrade - meaning that if sprint didn't bless this code they shouldn't expect it to be the final real thing.

Fascinate getting gingerbread by end of month?

http://androidcommunity.com/gingerbread-promised-for-galaxy-devices-by-end-of-may-20110517/#bXpulseX
Android central says all the galaxy line will be upgraded to gingerbread by end of may.
Is this for real?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk

yea i'll believe that one when I see it.
course with the new authentication exploit that hit for all devices under 2.3.4, maybe it'll force carriers and manufactures to upgrade quickly.

i9000 only. The Telus might get it in a month. Us? Don't expect anything until you see leaks.

The press release never said we'll get it by the end of May. It only says the US will get it after Europe gets it(which will be by the middle/end of May). It also said the US variants of the Galaxy S will get gingerbread according to the regional timeline. In other words, they don't know yet.

Crap, another accidental Thank instead of Quote.
Anyway, the Epic should be really soon -- weeks? -- since their second leak (EE03) is feature-complete and even carrier-bloated. The rest, who knows? I'm sure Verizon will be last though.

here we go again, this will be just like al those "froyo by this date" threads. just hang out in rc and wait for leaks. till then, dont count on it

Just for future reference: If Samsung says anything about 'Galaxy S', they are not talking about our phone. Galaxy S = i9000 (the international version).
Any release dates you see are a total lie if we don't already have a leaked version. Once we've got a leak, it's still highly doubtful, but at least not laughably so.

Point out where in the press release they said 'US' They specified North America, and they specified nothing other than it's after "the UK and Nordic countries".
Also, go back and look at what they said when they first rolled out Froyo to the i9000, and then look how long before it came to the US in any form or fashion (and then, the Fascinate even after that). If history holds, we might get it somewhere around the end of this year (although I'd imagine it'd be an even lower priority for Verizon now).

I am still under the belief that as long as Verizon tries to push Bing on the Fascinate we won't see a Gingerbread update.

US/Canada = North America.
Does Canada have an i9000?
Since we're seeing gingerbread leaks for the Epic, that may be an indication of gingerbread for our Fascinate. While Froyo still wasn't available for the CDMA Galaxy S variants, we were seeing leaks for the Epic along with the Fascinate during around the same time. If history repeats itself, we may see at least some leaks soon.

is froyo a requirement for gingerbread?
like when updating from DL09 it goes to EA28 then ED01/ED03. Why not directly to
ED0x?
if we see more versions soon, would this mean anything to us (other than just some fixes)

No release until its Binged and Bloated !
