This might be old news to most of you, but this made me REALLY happy!!

looks nice, but they still kept the same horrible android keyboard.
Why is it that 32a users still havent gotten 1.6 and now we are already waiting for 2.0?
HTC you suck....
Ancdroid 2.0
The real question is when the carriers are going to push the upgrade to users. There doesn't appear to be any incentive for them to do so, so I would resign myself to:
a) waiting a long time for your carrier to upgrade
b) doing a custom rom (from this forum)
In Denmark the phones are not related to carriers like in USA. HTC magic is 100 % free of carriers footprints in DK....
I even bought this phone without any carriers or contracts...
Is this an update coming to the MT3G? or is it the interface of a Verzion Android phone?

It's the stock interface for Eclair supposedly, so everyone will get in when they get 2.0 via either HTC's site, OTA from their carrier or, of course, XDA (someone already upped a supposed dump of the Droid ROM on the Dream dev forum).
Google may be delaying officially releasing it to manufacturers and whatnot until the Droid is released (which is in November some time from memory) so as not to piss off the carrier that's releasing it. I guess they'll have to release it for everyone from then on, as you can't morally make a whole build of the OS exclusive to a single device (or can they?).

Ahh, I see, thank you for explaining that for me.
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.

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".

I just see this post at a Chinese android phone forum:
Milestone 2将在5月16日升级Android 2.3，请大家耐心等待 ( Milestone 2 will be upgrade to Android 2.3 on 16th,May, please be patient )

Original post said( sorry for my terrible English ):
I heard some internal information: Milestone 2 will be upgrade to Android 2.3 on 16th,May, please don't ask me where I got it. I'm a professor here so please believe that I never talk nonsense, that's true.

The manager of moto of asia pacific region (hong kong, tai wan etc) said there will NOT be 2.3 update of milestone2.
However, moto in China have a different manager, and their ROM build is different from us(hong kong), so it still could be true that a 2.3 might release in China. If it is real, are our great developers able to use that 2.3 kernal to build their ROM?

im not sure how true that post is, but if it is true, it is good news then i suppose like for all motorola android phone owners, its a waiting game more than anything else.
just on a seperate note, i looked through the official motorola software upgrade website, and there has been nothing stated for an upcoming update on the milestone 2 (no matter which region). i have been checking this website regularly and nothing so far

I doubt the message refers to me722 (retail model in china), since this message appeared in a domestic forum in china. ME722 has its own version of android os, specially customized to adjust local market. However, that version is a little different from other versions. Touch screen is less sensitive and some apps installed requested by carriers. Although me722 can use firmware from other parts of the world, language may course problem.
I have read the original post. The new came from a person who claimed to have some inside information from a motorola employee. I doubt he referred to an employee in china branch.
So, it's hard to say whether there would be an update for global users.
Personally, I hope my concerns are all mistaken, since I'm also expecting an update from motorola. I'm currently running UK firmware, quite satisfied.

yet again as i stated, there is no announcement of any update on the official motorola software upgrade website. if what this person with insider information says is true, what i feel is on May 16th, Motorola would officially announce a scheduled date for an update release. i highly doubt that they would push for an update without announcing the launch of the update first

Your opinion is quite reasonable, but consider the Droid X's OTA upgrade to Android 2.3.3, it's still possible that MS2 will got a update without official announcements .
However, the original post's credibility is still worth discussing.

I'm using UK firmware too, ME722's ROM is quite terrible : Less sensitive of touch screen, No google service (even the Android Market and Gmail), Lots of rubbish, Different baseband ...
After all it still a good news isn't it? Because Milestone 2's hardwares of different retail version are exactly the same ( except the baseband which can be switched easily ), moto dev teams in other region can release updates very soon. And, we can also modify Chinese ROM just like agent2stone.
But I still don't know whether original post is true.

im afraid i didnt know that the droid X was upgraded to gingerbread. however, i did note 2 articles claiming rather contrasting pieces of news:
1. apparently the droid PRO is getting a software update. however its not to 2.3.x as most people anticipated. instead its a bugfix for the current 2.2 its on. so most likely it'll be some version of 2.2.x
REF: http://technewsperk.com/featured/motorola-droid-pro-software-update-available-now/
2. on the other hand, apparently Atrix customers are getting emails to beta test a software upgrade for their phone. however, apparently one customer got not one but 2 updates. im not too sure about the details of these updates as yet
REF: http://phandroid.com/2011/04/20/mot...atrix-4g-owners-to-test-new-software-upgrade/
considering the milestone 2 is no where near as popular as the flagship Atrix or droid X, i think that these flagships would be rewarded with some form of 2.3.x first before other Droids receive the gingerbread update. in the mean time, unfortunately im forced to think that the A953, and all global derivatives of it would be forced into the same fate as the Droid Pro for the time being- that is receiving a bug fix update (2.2.x) before the release of a 2.3.x can be made possible
EDIT- UPDATE:
i happened to notice these articles around, apparently announcing some form of a droid 2 update featuring gingerbread (2.3.x). Do check it out:
1. http://phandroid.com/2011/03/28/mot...gerbread-2-3-3-roms-leak-how-to-install-them/
2. http://phandroid.com/2011/02/22/mystery-droid-2-update-floating-around/
3. http://phandroid.com/2011/03/29/the...eaked-gingerbread-for-motorola-droid-x-and-2/

it is quite highly unlikely though that they release an update for China and leave the other countries out. This phone is rather popular in Malaysia, Singapore, India, USA and Brazil from what i know. Perhaps a global update of some sort is in the pipeline...its just that the news of an update in China was leaked?
I posted all of this in the 2.2 thread, but I feel it's enough of it's own cause to not get buried in 8 pages of a thread. I think this needs to be up where everyone can see it without looking
A recent press release from Samsung says that the Samsung Galaxy S phones are getting Gingerbread (Android 2.3) in mid-May. I'm not sure about you guys but I was excited that we could be getting 2.3 right out instead of waiting for 2.2 and then 2.3, so I decided to go to their chat support and ask about it. Here's the chat log:
ChatLog said:
Please wait for a Samsung Agent to respond.
You are now chatting with 'Catherine'. There will be a brief survey at the end of our chat to share feedback on my performance today.
Your Issue ID for this chat is LTK4380868310X
Visitor: Hello!
Catherine: Hi, thank you for contacting Samsung Technical Support. How may I help you today?
Visitor: I have a question regarding the press release saying that Android 2.3 Gingerbread will be coming oout for the Galaxy Tab and Galaxy S line of phones.
Catherine: I understand that you are looking for Android 2.3 update for your SCH-I400 Phone now.
Visitor: I was just wondering if that update talked about in the press release will cover the Samsung Continuum
Catherine: I understand your requirement,Would you mind holding for 3 minutes so that I can check that for you?
Visitor: No I would not mind
Catherine: Thank you.
Catherine: Thank you for holding.
Catherine: I see that Samsung Continuum phone have Android 2.1 OS on it as of now and Android 2.2 up has to be released for this device at this time before we can proceed with Android 2.3 update.
Catherine: As per the information available at this time, I see that your phone can be upgraded Android 2.2 update is not available for download for your Phone as of now.
Visitor: Are you ever going to release that?
Visitor: I realize it isn't available NOW... we Continuum users have been waiting for it forever...
Catherine: Yes, I see that we can upgrade your phone to Android 2.2 but the updaet is not released for your phone as of now, I'll forward a copy of this chat transcript to our product development team to proceed further from my end in this regard.
Catherine: I apologize for the inconvenience this might be causing.
Visitor: Wait, you CAN upgrade it to 2.2 but it's not released? Can I ask why not?
Catherine: I am sorry, we at live chat for Samsung support have limited to access to the information about that are not released as of now, I am not able to find any information that can help me answer why Android 2.2 update is not released as of now for your phone.
Catherine: However, I am positive we will be able to upgrade this model to Android 2.2 version when an update is released.
Catherine: Should this update become available, it shall be available on Samsung website under Samsung Download center.
Catherine: I understand your concern and requirement but we at Live chat do not have an estimated date of availability of this update for your Phone at this moment.
Visitor: I was just wondering on a possible release time for it. Like I said we've been waiting for it forever and when I bought the phone I was told it would be coming out in a matter of weeks
Catherine: I can understand how annoying that can be, I am sorry, we at Live chat didn't have any hint about the updates that are not released. We are provided only with information about the updates already released.
Visitor: Is there an email I can send something to to get any of these questions answered since the live chat supporters can't? A number I can call? Anything?
Catherine: yes, I recommend you contact Samsung Customer Care at 1-888-987-4357, Mon-Fri: 7 AM - 9 PM (CST), Sat: 9 AM - 6 PM (CST) to check if any help in this regard and to file a request for update.

There are 3 big things to this.
1) We won't get 2.3 until we get at least 2.2, so the press release does not cover the continuum.
2) They've MADE THE UPDATE TO 2.2 FOR THE CONTINUUM BUT HAVE NOT RELEASED IT. I don't know about you guys, but that is absolutely INFURIATING to me.
3) There is a way to let our voices be heard. It worked for the Fascinate users. Call them at that number in the last bold part.

We ALL need to do this. All of us need to chip in and call them and file to get this update released. It's ridiculous that the update is there, they just aren't releasing it. DO NOT LET THEM FORGET THAT WE SPENT OUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON THIS PRODUCT AND THEY NEED TO SUPPORT IT. Call the line, ask about the update, tell them you're dissatisfied, angry whatever but get that report filed and let's get that update OUT!!!
Yes, the update is made but not released. That's been established before now. That means rubert the current roadblock is Verizon's testing and scheduling the OTA. At this point, there isn't much that Samsung can do. The pressure needs to be applied to Verizon.

Nowhere in that conversation did the Samsung rep say the 2.2 update was already made. If you read the words carefully all she's saying is that our phone is capable of receiving an update.
As far as us having to wait for Verizon, I think we might be able to use Kies once Samsung posts the updates.
I realize that, the representative I talked to on the phone today confirmed that it is, in fact, made "but it has not been approved by management." Those are his exact words. It's been made they just aren't pushing it out for some reason. ("The android 2.2 update has been made, but it has not been approved by management...")
I personally think that if they have time to make a Gingerbread update for ALL the other Galaxy S phones they can at LEAST make a 2.2 one for us.
Well that's good news about 2.2. I read Samsung's official announcement for Gingerbread. If we're being hyper-technical (just playing devil's advocate), the announcement did not state all Galaxy S phones would receive the update. It just said Galaxy S which could mean only the i9000.
But it said the update would be pushed out to Galaxy S phones in North America, which would not be the i9000.
a$$ pain
been pestering someone for almost an hour now. on hold for his boss
This is what's up
It is very likely that Samsung has "completed" several Froyo builds for the Continuum, and like the Fascinate, Verizon is holding everything up again. If enough people can bother Samsung, they may just post the source early like did for the Fascinate, showing that they aren't the hold up. Granted, this would only get us the kernel, but we have to start somewhere.
I will try and call tomorrow.

They don't have to release proprietary code that is in the ROM as the Android system code is released under a different license, so the platform code is worthless for making a ROM.
Anyone else still doing this?

For those who missed it
Remember a Kies update was pushed 10 days ago (for those who actually use it)
Well the UK has been getting the 2.3 JVO version update for the last 4 days
http://www.techwafer.com/2011/05/18...-upgrade-for-samsung-galaxy-s-and-galaxy-tab/
Also the source code for GB was posted on the http://opensource.samsung.com/ ..... for the gt-9000 (euro galaxy phone)
Who knows when we will get it......... here in the USA
Wasn't there a thread a couple of minutes ago about a supposed official announcement from Samsung about GB on Vibrant? Was it deleted?
Anyway, As was already announced in the recent conference, we should be getting GB by the end of this month so...
all galaxy s series?
include T-mobile vibrant?
did it state vibrant?
The whole SGS line is getting 2.3, just the North America variants later than the I9000. The SGS of the article is the I9000.
The international version of SGS has no provider crapware. This is why they get updated ahead of the T959. I don't think TMO will let it out because if it does, their new android phones will not sell. Why would you want to buy a new phone that has 2.2 when you can have 2.3 on a already powerful enough, georgous looking phone?

True but I with the new enforced Google decisions on Android updates , that T-Mobile was part off, I can't see them delaying this any longer. We'll see the official GB by the end of this month me thinks.

well considering for 2.2 sprint was rumored to get it first, then all of a sudden t-mobile came out of no where with the update first. That's what i'm hoping will happen with 2.3. Sprint already has some leaked builds of 2.3 for the epic so we can only hope. But definitely should see it by the end of this month. If not we should harass google.
as i said before most of us will be on sg2 or hercules or other phones before we get gingerbread..the funny thing is i might be right
Wow I've been running gingerbread for almost 2 months now.
That's okay though when it does finally officially get released or even leaked for Vibrant we'll have every last bug out of Simply Honey while most others are just starting to dev on GB.

I'd be more apt to say .........July!!
End of the month has next to no chance of happening.
I still think it will be released by 2012, or maybe late 2011.

Knowing in the end that the only thing they added is a damn wifi calling and it took them 6 months.

Speculating on when we are going to get Gingerbread officially from samsung is pointless, it will happen when it happens. Until then we should just continue supporting our devs that have been working so hard to bring us 90% working gingerbread roms such as Simply Honey, Asgard, or CM7, and any others I may have forgotten.
