Yeah... I saw that. Little skeptical though because once you trace the source back to handhelditems they say someone got that info from a webchat with Sprint. We all know to think twice about those! lol It does seem to line up with that April 9th update that's been floating around though. Who knows...
Hopefully this is true and not another april fools prank. It was about a week-week and a half ago they rumored it would release in the coming weeks. Fingers crossed.................
With all the sprint leaks we have been getting I think it might be getting close.
But who knows
I already have it thanks damage
good, it's about time, tired of watching people get LEAKS and then not sharing the source...

don't worry, Sprint will just repackage one of the XDA roms as their own and use it as the official update
ive said it once ill say it again the april 9th update is a maintenance release to fix mms issues not 2.1
sprint hasnt told us anything beyond that
any new news on an "official" release date? im hearing either the 9th or 26th of this month? i don't get why sprint is soo tight lipped about this?
also when is the nexus & evo launching on sprint?
no ONE cares anymore

Once every single bug has been worked out of DamageControl, Sprint will pull it off XDA and release it.

with alot of tweaking to do after the initial install, yes your right.
i hope when the final comes out and we get custom roms, we won't have to apply any fixes. this is one reason im back to 1.5 for now. i have faith in the devs here, they do great work!
Why do we keep creating threads on this issue. It is a waste of space. It will come when Sprint is ready to release it. They have never given an exact date. People get so pissed because they haven't sent an update. Well guess what. When you bought your phone it had 1.5. They are not required to update it to 2.1. Either use a custom ROM or shut up and wait until it comes out.Then when it comes on don't get on here complaining about how crappy the release is.
I have Fresh 2.0d and it is working very well.
----------------------------
Shut up and wait
Running: Fresh2.0d
Developing:WarpedMetal (T minus 2 weeks)
Just got out of a sprint chat. this is what they're saying
honestly no thread can "waste space" as well we have plenty of it. I wasn't complaining nor *****ing about it. I am more happy with the legend based roms then the leaked Sprint roms but when the official Rom hits it will help with more development to fix issues and get faster roms out there. honestly if you don't like these threads the easy thing to do is stay out of them. no one is forcing anyone to read the forum or a certain posts. forums are for talking that is there main and only reason for existing.
damn I hate trolls.

Wow, that's interesting, I dont know whether to believe it or believe the support guy/gal was confused by the question and didnt know how to answer, so he/she just gave something generic

Does Sprint use any automated responses on the chat support? I know there's quite a few companies that do, the program just selects a basic response to generic questions about that subject, and it seems like the responses that are given by these reports are way too "computery" to be coming from a human. So I'm guessing that the system Sprint's chat support uses has a list of responses pop up based on key words in the client's question.
Probably way off base, but it'd almost make sense based on how similar the responses are in all these chat transcripts.

no froyo , Sammy let us down again, surprised?
what can we do ? wait.. creating thread over thread about this will not speed up the release.. If it did we would of had Froyo weeks ago
Tmo will be dumping Sammy and focusing the new HTC G2. No Froyo for Vibrant and sammy may come out with Vibrant Slide in Dec.
Only thing I hear is the silence of disappointment. Those samsung jerks can't get of of star craft 2 probably.

No, Froyo isn't coming out. It never will. T-Mobile will never get Froyo out because they like Gingerbread better. It tastes better. It's all about the taste, not the features.
Why would anyone look forward to Samsung's 2.2 release? Considering where you are posting this topic, obviously you have used or at least thought about using alternative roms. CM 6.1 is being worked on, why would you care for OTA release?
becasue some ppl likes it "stock" but apparently, tmo and sammy's fridge is out of froyo.

Shouldn't people that like "stock" be whining on "stock" forums.t-mobile.com instead?
I believe it'll be here when its here.
I know complaining here is useless for getting the update
but what can I do?
I called Tmo by phone, on their forum, but still...
check over on engadget - there was a blurb this afternoon about sammy in spain indicating no froyo til late Oct
don't know if that applies to worldwide or just spain but sammy had said the entire galaxy S line would see Froyo by late Sept
i'd assume that's the case for this market as well
Ok, so read this and tell me what you think. It has to be some kind of conversion from another language cause parts of it dont make sense at all in the english language. Also, look at the picture, and tell me what is wrong in it (or right?). Either way, some of this pisses me off.

I think it'd be even less likely for Samsung to put out such a date over a year in advance, despite everything they've been saying about a prompt release.
Whether or not it will be the 11th (I hope so), it will not be 11-11-11. I mean come on, three 11s. Obviously a mistake.
Even the rollout DID begin on the 11th, we wont see it on the Epic for a while after that most likely.
I hope I am wrong.

Especially since GalaxySSupport Twitter has already stated Froyo will be on all Galaxy devices by the end of the year.

Galaxy twitter has been complete wrong several times, specifically they have promised dates that were in fact early.
I agree to permit questions regarding 2.2 but I think that we should all take a chill pill and let it be.
By past experience we will get he upgrade and then wish we never had it because of the bugs it will have at the start, so let's just save our time with the speculations.

what exactly is dj05? who is releasing it? samsung? verizon?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
What is DJ05? That's a terrific question...
Dj05 is an update from Verizon. The official one is not released yet. It is a fix for some features. Like the soft key backlight now stays on with the screen. It has a GPS fix and numerous other ones. The one You hear about is just a non official one.
As for the who.... that's not of your concern

DJ05 is a mystical update only spoken of in the depths of IRC, also known as infinite rainbow colors.
thanks whatsup.. good answer
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
The update is all over the place right now. I dont know why people are having a hard time finding it. And it boggles me why its not being posted in these forums.
But if higher-ups dont want it posted here thats the way its gotta be.
Either way look at it like this....this update will be out before 2.2...........so 2.2 is far off for us!!!
One line of the channel log from Verizon says its a preperation update for "2.2 due next year"

I read a post around the beginning of the DJ05 teases that amounted to, "if we released this on the forums, there would be an explosion of new 'My phone doesn't work!!' threads the next day". I believe it's not fully public here more for the protection of the end users and sanity of the devs than withholding goodies. The #Samsung-Fascinate channel of IRC is where the devs hang out to work out kinks, if you're interested in participating before broadcast release.

The "higher-ups" don't want it posted here because the "higher-ups" are trying to protect the people who leaked the ROM in the first place. Test builds are often watermarked and traceable.
Thank you RTFM. I leaked DJ05. come get me Verizon!!!!!!

Watch out everyone. Dj05 is insanely unstable, i just got fired from my job for leaking it. The sad thing is i dont work at verizon. Thats the kind of reach verizon has. Watch out. They just came and took my cat.

I'd be surprised if verizon doesn't leak this stuff themselves. They can monitor the forums and chat rooms to see how well it works and they get free beta testers who can't complain to them if it breaks the phone.

What is interseting is Samsung Galaxy S version on Sprint (EPIC) came out with Android 2.2 and it isn't DJ05. It is something higher.

2.1 was probably something higher than 1.5 too. Of course it's going to be higher. DJ05 isn't froyo, and froyo isn't DJ05.

Aha! So you admit it! You are a VZ employee! You and ksizzle!
Learn to read lol he said he didnt work there. lol
as for the update... friend of mine that has it and it helping to test it for VZW has told me it will be another month or 2 for official release still far to "buggy", 2.2 that is....
on a side note i saw the new VZW Galaxy S LTE phone this weekend... its a prototype but freaking awsome!!!
the screen is crisper, has front facing camera, its a bit wider than the SF, but still very light. Comes with android 2.2 out of the box. from what i hear the data rates can be as good as 25M down and 8M up.
I must say that i was quite impressed with it...
unfortunatly i could not get a picture of it, my friend has alot of integrity.... sometimes thats a bad thing

On second thought. Why would samsung OTA us to 2.3, by doing so that would make the Nexus S just another Vibrant over at T-Mobile.

My understanding is that the Nexus S (like the Nexus One) is a stripped down, super-phone, demonstration of new technology and in this case the most notable difference would be the form factor and the NFC. I think Sammy would face more backlash from consumers for ignoring hardware customers already paid for so as to make a new product with near-identical hardware better.
I would assume to have a 2.3 powerhouse phone on all major carriers for bragging and sales purposes. Would make a ton of sense.

From the article:
While only a rumor, he's usually spot on and the tweet does seem very plausible so we wouldn't be surprised if Samsung Galaxy S phones (Captivate, Fascinate, Epic 4G and Vibrant) will beat HTC and Motorola devices to Android 2.3.

Personally, I'd never heard of him but I've requested to follow him on twitter. In the end we'll just have to wait and see but it would be nice. If this update were coming soon I think there would be some RCs floating around but seeing as we have Froyo ones and a 'near-official' OTA update that went to .4 phones its hard to know if we'll skip 2.2 and go right to 2.3. I want this to happen but the evidence I have right now would seem to go against this.
I honestly though don't care about gingerbread all that much. I'm planning to have this phone for awhile. It does everything I need with ease. Big difference from when I had the Moment and from day 1 felt the need to smash it into a wall because of how slow and laggy it was. I would hope samsung realizes this isn't a phone to cut ties with because it defintely has staying power even after it's superceded by something faster on paper but probably only marginably faster in real world use.

So if you're wondering why Samsung hasn't bothered upgrading most of its smartphons to Android 2.2 Froyo yet then this could be the reason. Let's see if Samsung leapfrogs to Android Gingerbread before the holidays or not.

if we skip straight to 2.3 I will start rescuing kittens!!!!
With how good samsung did with sales from all the galaxy s phones, i wouldnt be surprised that they would do this.. that would be so sweet to have gingerbread on epic and since its on the nexus s with samehardware screen and stats, makes sense they could upgrade all variants epic will definitly be the top of the line if it got gingerbread, but also i agree with the poster above about caring less as long as i have a good running phone with 2.2 ill be set til the dual core processors come out and another top of the line phone comes out for sprint next year or 2 years,

Indeed. I spent months reading about how my Mytouch was getting Eclair only to be let down every time. I will say that if they do leapfrog 2.2 and get my device up-to-android-date then when I buy my fiancee's new phone in about a month she'll be getting a Sammy device. Otherwise, I'm not going to get her a phone that's always out-of-date.
Now if we dont receive an update b4 january first for anything this might prove that we will have gingerbread later and prove that they skipped froyo.
I mean if they dont give us froyo b4 the end of the year like they promised, they could be working on gingerbread we shall see by the end of this month.
The only thing I am not looking forward to is the possible return of these forums turning into unreadable garbage of people trolling, fighting and starting multiple threads about when or why Gingerbread is/isn't on the epic.
This thread has been nice though.
