I think we're getting DL15, not DL11 - Found this on samsung.com

Every morning I do a quick search of the interwebs to check for new ROM leaks - so I search "Epic" "Froyo" "DL11" "DL15" etc.
I just googled "Epic Froyo DL15" and THIS was the third result. It looks like an unfinished FAQ for a DL15 update.

So after more than a week, Samsung still hasn't completed this simple FAQ, no wonder it's taking them so long to get FroYo out.

I don't see why they wouldn't push out the latest version. Average person isn't going to want to flash again a week later for minor fixes.

Samsung finished with froyo about a month and a half to two months ago and publicly announced that they gave the build to carriers, its been sprint that has been taking forever to do their modifications to it and then release it

Right, I know Sprint also has a hand in this. But Samsung really hasn't released one that doesn't fry your memory chip and/or brick your phone.

What are you talking about? Samsung wouldn't publicly release something that messes up your phone and they can't release an OS straight to our phones anyways, it has to go through the carrier before its released

This is really the only reason I miss the evo...atleast the coorperate devs t htc and sprint rolled out updates...they have gotten 3 updates while we are still stuck on di18

I have to be honest, I'm really reconsidering buy this thing. The evo can be modified in all kinds of ways, and it gets updates from Sprint/HTC in a much more timely fashion.
Samsung and Sprint doesn't seem to give a crap about the Epic for some reason, I'm not sure why since Sammy has sold close to 10 million of these galaxy s phones. I mean if you don't support these devices and provide timely updates, I don't see people being repeat customers of Samsung.
This has been my first non HTC smartphone, and frankly its looking to be my last, its a shame too, the hardware itself is terrific.

It's not that they don't give a crap about it. Froyo was designed on and optimized for a different processor and file system. For whatever reason, Samsung insists on using their own file system, which means they basically have to port Froyo to work with their specs. In addition, a company that only makes phones and pda's like HTC, can concentrate 100% of their resources on those products. While Samsung is making microwaves, TV's, Cameras, and whatever else, so they prioritize a little differently.

There comes a point though when they have to actually release something. Would you still be ok with the wait if they decide to start working on build DL21 and then move on to DL24, etc... and not release a damn thing in the mean while?
This is just freaking ridiculous. We were promised before the end of the year we would have Froyo and it seems that is not going to happen now.

X10 End Of Life With AT&T On March 6th

The X10 will reach its end-of-life with AT&T on 3/6/11. Android Central has an article on this information.
With that news, I find it hard to believe that AT&T will release any X10 updates from Sony Ericsson. They'll probably just keep its users on 1.6 and be done with it.
XDA is the only hope for U.S. X10 owners!

Well AT&T sucks more than SE. Not sure why they are delaying the 2.1 update for the handsets. Thank god I flashed the x10a world generic from here!

LoL they totally fked over x10 in america. But don't worry.. rogers isn't doing much better. Except how they managed to get us 2.1. Which none of us even use.

I'm kind of suffering this issue I'm with Claro. Guatemala and they will never release even 2.1 update.. If I had stick with them I'll be in 1.6 forever.... They aren't gonna release 2.1 .... That's why I love Xda ....!!!! Because of the updates ...

Could you link that article? I'm almost 100% sure they mean 3rd June and not 6th March... which is still a short period, but still better than March
Edit: Yup, looks to be true. March it is.

I was on the phone with AT&T for an hour today. I cant believe I am reading this after what she said. The good news is AT&T has now paid me the $75 rebate I got for "buying this phone".

If you like xda updates, then why don't you stop waiting on your lousy service provider and update yourself to 2.1 here on xda? The great part is once you update your phone, you won't have to worry about your cell phone company blocking you from future Xperia X10 updates anymore.
It is easy and safe to do. Just click on the link below, and follow the steps for X10i_2_0_A_0_504_GLOBAL (this version is rootable, if you decide to do so in the future)

Make sure you use Backup and Restore to backup your system and contacts to your sdcard before you start, and then restore your data when start up your 2.1 updated X10.

I completely agree, man. I'm using AT&T, and I'm in the exact same situation as you are!! Even worse still, AT&T block users from installing apps not downloaded directly from the official market, giving us even more reason to ditch their crappy branded firmware and flash with global/world firmware.
It seems to me like these two companies should never have teamed up...they both seem to hate their customers more than any company I've ever seen in my life!!!

I dont think AT&T is cutting the X10 just yet. Its too soon.

I don't really mind if AT&T does axe the X10. I've debranded and rooted my X10, effectively removing myself from under AT&T's thumb. I think Android is going to get more love in the very near future though. If the Verizon iPhone is indeed announced on Jan 11, AT&T will experience such a mass exodus that they'll have to change their strategy. The loss of iPhone exclusivity will force AT&T to provide at least a semblance of support for its remaining customers. It would have to release the Arc and other Gingerbread phones to survive.

Verizon Statement on Froyo

They just started the iPhone hype so I'm pretty sure nearly all of their resources are going toward that.

You honestly think that the iPhone release will take out all of their resources that they can't make a statement about the release or status of the update? Pondering things like these leads nowhere, that has become more than evident with all of these froyo threads. They are full of speculation and made up conspiracies because people are so absorbed by the thought of companies withholding froyo from them. Enjoy your phone, rom it and change things to your liking...when we get froyo, we get froyo. I really dont understand why people need to make endless threads about this.

I dont really post much, but I must get this out, WTF is up with BOTH samsung and verizon.
Verizon isn't just the one accountable for it, Samsung is as well,they are slow on updates.
LG just released the 2.2 froyo update for possibly the worst phone ever made the LG Ally.
The other thing I'm not getting is why the development is slow for the fascinate, are people just not that interested in the phone as other phone's ? No disrespect for the developers. I'm just stating that other phones have had 2.2 for a LONG time and the fascinate is just barely getting into 2.2 development.
Dont tell me its because GSM and CDMA are different. Honestly I have ported GSM to CDMA android phones just fine, yes it takes some time. Right now im currently looking into how the samsung is all set up so I can take a shot at some things..
end rant...

I believe your talking about porting a rom from a GSM phone to a cdma phone.... what's up with the fascinate is way more then that.....

Anybody who starts yet another of these complaint/conspiracy threads should be auto-banned.

HTC gave up on updateing small HTC Tattoo long time ago, and now there is alot of GREAT roms that works way better then original HTC Sence rom. Froyo and Gingerbread. Hope that same thing would happen to X8 and we'll see few great roms based on Froyo or Gingerbread.

Ice Cream Sandwich to xperia line

www.talkandroid.com/68012-ics-in-the-works-for-the-xperia-line/
It's not too early to say that SE 's poor customer support days are over. They are working on ICS updates to their single core devices already. I am sure we've already been really satisfied with the bundle of updates being rolled up by SE, but this is incredibly good news.
Also added from the other thread.

Please stop posting old news about the updates. SE confirmed that they will start working on ICS After the source code was released.

i honestly wasnt expecting ICS for SEX devices

I'm still mad about the face unlock thing. No James Bond retinal scan? Lame.
Good news though. It's about time SE got with it.

Awesome, Really gives me confidence that SE is not that bad after all, Never been a fan of using another ROM, As I love Sony Ericsson's, I will use another ROM once the Xperia Play is no longer updated or supported by SE which I hope never happens while I use an Xperia Play as my primary device.

I always had confidence in SE. <3 this company and their phone. Now, if only we could get it as stock ICS and not with their UXL overlay. Maybe with ICS it'll be much better looking, have to wait and see

It will be google pushing ICS, they will want most top end phones on ICS so they can start ending support for older OS version

Verizon version came as vanilla gingerbread so we might even get it sooner. Late 2013 or so seems about right!

Yes, SE were very quick to release a statement about this.
Asus have also said that they will be upgrading the Transformer to ICS. This is all a lot different from when Honeycomb was released.

is this avaliable only in november?

From using Google the best I can work out is that in a Dutch language blog SE Netherlands said that they will be upgrading all the 2011 Xperia phone to ICS.
However, SE told Slashgear that no decision has been made

My article was posted and confirmed a few days ago. They announced it after the launch of ics. Please don't link an article from almost two months ago saying it's not confirmed.

Your timing error is what made the article irrelevant though. Your outdated article greatly contradicts the new one that SE made ... making people believe that there is no such ICS update when really SE confirmed the updates after the launch of ICS source codes.
It's like positing an article about the Samsung Galaxy Nexus telling people it's a 8mp camera and not 5mp but using a 2 month old article as reference....
