Samsung/XDA part2

I haven't forgot about you guys. Today we had a meeting with XDA owners via telephone. Were just getting everything ready before we make a huge announcement. I told you guys I'm NOT going to let you guys down. Just be a little patient.
Thanks

Wouldnt really matter for me even if it was, Ill take froyo from devs here over samsung/verizon anytime. (And considering we have froyo, it wouldnt be a huge announcement for us)

I think Samsug's reputation is already damaged, so releasing Froyo is not gonna change anything (unless they also release the source, but even then). If its gingerbread, ill kiss my dog.

Samsung will promise an announcement this week but we will not hear anything till the devs announce that they have taken our phones above and beyond what Samsung ever could.
I kid, I kid.....

Figured out the announcement...
"we are closing down xda due to the developers making our products usable."
Haha I'm just very interested in what may happen

Feb 22nd Froyo OTA

So has anyone that's on stock EA28 tried to check for an OTA update to see of the rumor of the aforementioned 2.2.1 OTA is actually being pushed today like various sources said it is supposed to be?

Call me ocd; but yes, Ive tried 4x in last 2 hrs. Nothing... Grrr.

many of us are curious as to when/if the ota will drop...despite being on eb01 already.
basically the sooner the ota starts, the (hopefully) sooner the froyo source is released from samsung.

I'm already on EB01 with his port of Matted Blues Engraved. I'm just curious if anyone that's still on stock EA28 has checked for an update.

I have stock, EA28, and checking every 1/2 hour still nothing ( if not today im going to break down and do the reading and root. so much to read though ugg.

I will confirm for you in a few hours, but I can pretty much guarantee that its a negative, and the people who leaked it are full of merd.

I'm running stock and haven't received any notifications that there is an OTA update.

Expected as much from our loyal providers..
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

Considering that EB01 still has a number of problems (like the new GPS issues), I'd imagine they'd hold off on releasing until there's nothing too major.
Plus, they haven't announced that they're going to do anything, so it seems highly doubtful it's coming out today.

Totally agree.. Besides if they can not get bing up in our face what's the point of even updating us .. Ever

That hasn't stopped them from pushing out updates with a multitude of issues before. lol Just release the source. Who cares if it's buggy? Our wonderful developers will fix it and then Verizon can use that to push out to everyone.

Unfortunately the majority of Fascinate owners will never be able to reap the rewards of all the hard work that our developers put into making Samsung's Fascinate an actually great phone.

I am surprised that the Epic 4G got theirs as scheduled. We may not get it today but we will soon enough!

Gingerbread coming next week?

just like with froyo...took us months to get froyo for the vibrant after the i9000 got it so this means nothing for the vibrant

if im reading that correctly that does meant that we will eventually be getting gingerbread but if im not mistaken the release coming next week is supposed to be for international sgs phones.

I thought the vibrant was a US only variant? Also you would think we would have seen leaked builds by now from krylon.

I thought Krylon jumped ship a while back. Isn't he now doing a lot for the Nexus S. I assume he will still realease stuff for the Vibrant just not as often.

Doesn't matter what day it is released. It is a joke either way!

I'm not holding my breath nor do I really care anymore. I am super content with 2.2.1 simply honey even though its not meant for our phones.

I tried installing kies again and updated it tio the version required but I can't get kies tio recognize my phone. Kies 2.0 doesn't support my phone.
Is been much time since I don't use kies, but I remember having troubles with it, I think the only time I got it to work was with kies mini..
Using bionix 1.3.1 now, tried also installing stock jfd ecclaire

We got froyo 6 months after i9000, so if people are looking for a official GB, go look inside a toilet.
If you want a beta.... there MAY BE one.
but then again we already have 2 GB roms, and i'm pretty sure their the same.

Who gives a damn about official roms, im just happy this got out so our great developers will have something more solid and close for GB to our device than they do now.

Say it isn't so but I'm starting to believe that my loved phone is dead when it comes to [ROM]'s I'm using Apex and it's great best I've had but is it the "Last Unicorn"? I hope that we get some Gingerbread as a [ROM] but looks like we are SOL?

I'll read the entire thread tonight and decide if I'm game to try this out. My main concern is keyboard accuracy. Since I'm at work I really cant go through all 44 pages right now.

WOW, I feel like a noob. I post this then the next day POP GINGERBREAD I just put it on my phone and WOW i'm loving it, I had Liberty 1.5 then to Apex 1.4.1 and they are both nice but this rocks hard. I'm very happy and I don't think I'm going back, Ya No root but I can live without that...

EG22 Samfirmware.com, Respect & Give Thanks

I just want to put my 2 cents out here for people to read.
Samfirmware.com was awesome enough to get us the latest leak after I asked on their twitter on Jul 11th, they followed through.
First I hope everyone that downloads and runs EG22 will drop by their site and twitter, @Samfirmware, and show some love, its the respectful thing to do.
I feel like having a mirror is taking away from their deserved traffic to their site and exposure, also they cant meter how many users downloaded it. Even if we just post the hotfile link they provide would be better than putting up a DB link, this way they can see how many US users are interested in the Epic4G. By doing this, maybe they will work more in future to get leaks for our phone because of the number of hits to their site, or the number on the hotfile counter.
Well the direct link is here, http://hotfile.com/dl/124888596/3935e47/D700EG22.rar.html , the password is samfirmware.com
Also I know some people feel that them saying for people to donate more from US, they are not demanding it. It cant hurt to ask, so I signed up for their one time premium deal.

Even though Im gonna DL the flashable version, Im gonna download it from their link.

And how many phones are even past 2.3.3? Better yet, 2.3.4?
But I do agree. Prlly 3 months. We've been getting "leaked" gingerbread roms since like may.
If they keep updating it behind the scenes, we're not going to see a real release because they're gonna keep "optimizing" it. Idk why you people always get excited about one. We get a new one everymonth. Nothings new.
Except maybe the *****ing that's gonna pop up because of stupid bugs like "OMG MY PHONE TAKES 1 SECOND TO SCREEN OFF WHEN I'M WATCHING YOUTUBE /life"
