For those of you who havent read yet 2.1 SDK is released http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/01/android-21-sdk.html . Who knows maybe they will play the dog and pony show for us and release it for our phone on the 21st... 2.1 .... anyways heres to hopeing the 22nd update is this one.
Thanks for the update...
Lets hope that January 22nd will be a day to celebrate...
When I picked up my Desire/Eris last week (giving my abused Xperia a break) the Verizon girl was very happy to tell me and my girlfirend that we should get this phone, because we would be getting a 2.0/2.1 update this month!
She said that she recieved this via internal email....
So more Hearsay! lol

I personally can't wait for 2.x but should we stick to 1.5 and see if something like the moto exploit will work on the eris?

That's what I've been waiting to hear news of, but since no one is having any luck with exploits in the current version, who knows, there might be a flaw in the new software somewhere. But, judging from how long we've already been waiting for the software's release, it's highly unlikely.

Just from experience, markets across seas always get it first. Does that mean that it will be after April 26th before the Sprint Hero gets the 2.1 update?
i not surprised if this is true with sprint getting the nexus and the powerhouse is being left in the wind
If this is overseas, this could be 2 or 3 months till the sprint htc hero updates.
I told you to root and flash DamageCotrol v1...

Why so pessimistic?? I'm not sure if you guys are right or wrong, but the article DOES say we'd be getting it soon after, why so scared?
Besides...once Taiwan leaks the Hero ROM, won't that be the same as when they release it for our phones? Am I wrong or isn't the overseas Hero the same but with GSM? Shouldn't we be able to perfect the 2.1 ROMs with that? I mean that would be pretty damn close with having the Eris leak as well, I don't know but I just don't see why to be scared and why to not get excited to see the actual overseas leak.

Because TODAY was our original speculation date. So after seeing this, it appears we have a month or more to wait. The biggest thing is that we havent been given a confirmed date and its getting tense.
Anyway, I just posted this for others to see something new.

Well....
Keyword-Speculation..
Stop speculating and you won't be upset...
It's not like 2.1 is going to bring an all new world, once it comes out we're just going to be inundated with well.. what now threads an hour after everyone updates..
Patience is a virtue...
didn't some self proclaimed "sprint employee" leak that date? (i've been looking, maybe they edited their original post)
But I'm going to take everything I read in the future from such sources with an extra grain of salt on top of the first. In other words... POIDH
A couple sites are saying April 9th (now), because Sprint is apparently issuing some network updates then,

Start running the ROMs and I think you'll chill a lot more. Plus if ANY Hero gets updated, I bet the ROMs will be perfected a little more which is still something to look forward to.
I honestly have been on DC 1.0, and yeah not everything works, but then what will work with 2.1? Will we have LWP? The builds we have may even have more than the 2.1 Sprint will give us. I mean keeping LWP off our phones but on the Nexus still keeps a reason to make us upgrade. Which means we need to hack it
Listen guys, I didnt put any exclamation marks in any of my posts. I was just simply bringing up what I found for some discussion on peoples thoughts. I am currently running Fresh Toast 2.0c and completely happy with it. This isnt to start a battle about how pissed I am, just hadnt seen anyone post this little tid bit.
Sprint 1st said first half of the year, then updated to beginning of 2nd quarter, so between April 1st to May 14th. Want some advice? Stop putting so much stock on the rumors and wait for an official date. Sprint is notorious for terrible communication and missing dates so don't expect 2.1 sooner rather than later.
Yes this pisses me off too but it doesn't do any good getting worked up over rumors proving to be false. Personally, the spreading of rumors are more upsetting than the holdout for Sprint.
Jeez you guys cant read. I never said I was pissed off, I just wanted to discuss the date since there was a confirmed one in Taiwan. Im emailing a mod now to close this. FACK!!
Closed at OP's request.
Bad news for Indian SGS owners its confirmed that froyo in India will also be released late in October
here the confirming tweet from samsung.
When i asked this to them a few weeks back they told it was confirmed for end of Sept. Now they deleted that tweet
Or...not bad news if when it IS released it addresses and corrects the problems that are so frequently discussed around here and works like it can and should?
if its coming late then curse u man
At this point, I have become rather well acquainted with waiting and waiting... And waiting! I really don't care when they come out with it anymore... I just want the update delivered OTA whenever it does arrive...

I really hope that's true! The point is, they did confirm it to be released in Sept for India. If they release froyo in UK in Sept. then it is understood that the improvements are done or none at all!
It will not be the case that Indian or Spanish froyo will have the said improvement alone just because they were released late.
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,

So when will update? later this month? or end of October as Samsung Spain said ?

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.

Got me excited for nothing. That's old news. 2months ago, Feb 7th. We all know lenovo "says" they'll release ICS but start a thread if they actually do it in May, on which my money is June or maybe December (whatever) while they wait for carrier approval.
Now I've got that off my chest. I'd like to politely point out that this thread u started is pretty much useless in the first place.
Very old news.
D'oh. My bad fellas.... Thought I had searched and didn't see anything....
bsnf said it is still coming at the end of May http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-slate-tablets/OTA3-update/td-p/740217

Exactly. Just news. Until we receive the updates it all just news. Call me cynical but lenovo are full of sh**. And I'm hoping it'll be a decent rom, not some bug infested slow poke with a lenovo backdoor.
Considering the relative slow availability of ics i think that Lenovo is rather fast with the port. Good stuff.
First it was May but we're trying for April. Then it was May 22 but we're challenged to release in April. Now it's the end of May (but we'll probably release it in June). I think Lenovo is full of the stinky stuff too.

Haha, they've been 3493949394 times better than Samsung, so my money's on May 22nd.
Wow. Really? Surprised to hear that about Samsung. How's the hardware?
hope this will improve touchscreen reactivity after screen wake up.
four more hours.
And you better deliver, Lenovo.

I'm with you on that one.
I just check for an update and nadda, 0804 hrs here.
You checked? I thought the likelihood of the update was zero. The December timeframe is probably generous.
Given their track record to date I'd say it's likely spot on.
