Official froyo update

Does anyone know if the official froyo update will be OTA?

Most all of Android's OS updates are OTA. I am sure it will be for the Inc.

I would agree. The question is.... when? Everything I've read says "sometime in the fall".

Well, Google has a lot at stake in Froyo, so I hope that they're going to make sure it's fully baked before they release it. Plus they have the Flash factor - another reason to hold it until that's really done.
Given that, I don't expect 2.2 to appear in official OTA's for at least a couple of months and then HTC Sense builds are always behind the general release. Then you add the delay from the service providers (incl. Verizon) and Froyo OTA for Incredible in the Fall is almost optimistic =:-o
Rooted phones will always have it sooner...

Has the N1 not had the official Froyo OTA for weeks now?

They started deploying to the N1 and then stopped. Much speculation abounds about why, but no official explanation that I've seen. My g/f has a N1 and is about to drive me crazy wondering when she's gonna get Froyo. And when she does, I'm sure I'll be jealous for a few months

Thought you had some info. Please add a question mark to the thread title

Ditto that

yeah can we stop naming threads "official froyo update" when there is nothing official, froyo-like or update-ilicious about it. this is a question, first google search, and if ur still unsatisfied then put a question mark in your post title.

I was reading some phone webite and it said the offical release from Verizon was to be expected in August. Take that with a grain of salt as we all know how these "official" dates can move around at will.

a vzw rep told me that it was coming out july 15-16.

His great froyo "ROMS", methods, and "froyo flashing apps"

Yeah, check out his Twitter account. He tried to get a Froyo build from Koush. I think you all can imagine why.
http://twitter.com/rr12106

omg haha...his twitter really is ridiculous. He is begging koush for cyanogen froyo rom. And obviously im sure koush wont give him a thing to "test" it for him, but I can bet he would rip it off of him first chance he got, only to come here and the rest of the android community and try convincing people he is the best developer ever.
It really is so sad that he tries to play make believe with his mad developer skills, yet all i can do is crack up at his fabricated stories. He is just sooo absurd. We have all seen how he posts things and finally after being backed into a corner by people who really know what they are talking about, he crumbles and apologizes with things like "im sorry im trying...i just love to develop and hack droids...uh dur". The way this kid acts on these forums mirrors his awesome youtube videos to a "T".
Anyway def needs ip ban. His "roms" and other methods and claims are really going to end up bricking some good and honest people new to android, or at the very least give the community forums some bad rep.

And if they told you Verizon was going GSM tomorrow, would you be gullible enough to believe that, too?
Seriously, a run of the mill VZW employee has no insight whatsoever into the release. Only a core group, none of which are going to be dealing with customers, is going to be in the know regarding a target date. That guy in the store or on the other end of the phone... he isn't privy to any kind of information about this just yet.
Hell, at this point, HTC states that they haven't even finished their work on Froyo. After they're done with their work, they perform testing. After that, it goes to VZW for them to do further testing and then get signed off on. All of this isn't going to happen in the next two weeks.

gingerbread is coming!!!

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.

Please delete this thread

Mods. Please delete this. The date has already passed. FroYo will come out never. Done.

the skeptic in me will remain skeptical until i see something from sprint, but thank you for the info i have some hope since t-mo has their update available, maybe sprint will be more motivated to end the bad press and user backlash... time will tell.

Maybe a dev can choime in they always seem to have to inside track

You are right! We should have made a stink back is November! Maybe the best thing to do from now on is to always raise a super-stink the minute a company misses their "promised" date. Then things get delivered!

I agree. It seems like things are finally coming around, but something still stinks behind the scenes. At the very least my guesstimate is that the updates were a very very low priority for either Samsung, the carriers, or both.

I don't really care much about a timeline for Gingerbread atm. I just want to be able to test my own Adobe AIR apps on my own phone. Once I can do that, I'll be happy.

I doubt.it will be this Tuesday cause every article I read says they have no clue when update will be given just that it will be soon. This sounds like the 12/26 thing again where all these people had the inside informants and it was def. Happening. Look where that went

Just for the record,I never said Tuesday,and 12/26 was deffinitly the planned release date at one point. So I wouldnt doubt sources,things dont always work out... And just because the update is not in the playbook does not mean we wont see one next week OTA... But I will say this for sure, source "Talks around the water cooler say everyone should be updated by 1/31/2011",so that tells me that roll out should start on or before 1/26/2011,so Tuesday or Wednesday... Again Im not gonna call that the date this time,because I already see the flame throwers coming out of the wood work.
Oh,and I can promise you Gingerbread is being worked on also...

as you guys can see, the new builds are becoming more recent. which usually means our time is getting very close to official release.

They must be getting close. Also samfirmware indicated there would be multiple leaks before the end of the month. There is still a chance that final will be done by the predicted date even though prior history doesn't point to the likelihood of that.

I went from "GB? Who cares?" to "GB! Awesome!" almost to "Whatever." Hope reviews are great and prerooted flash packages are in supply. The pre-Froyo urgency just isn't there but at least they're working on it. And maybe it really does squeeze much more performance out of it.

They don't need to be releasing any final version until they finally get the GPS crash/force close bug fixed, that'll be a deal breaker for thousands of people if they release anything official with that issue still in play.

Exactly my thinking. All these people annoyed at another new build, meanwhile the one we have still doesn't work. Are they expecting Samsung to release it full of holes? With the current version rebooting and having no function GPS, I'm happy to see new versions hitting. Means hopefully they're actually working on the problem.

I still can't understand how what is now a legacy device can possibly give their engineers such problems with the modem and other comm chipsets. It looked to be all solidified in Froyo and now for GB it's the biggest boogeyman?! What are they trying to do...?

The problem isn't how many builds they're making, it's how long will it take them to get it right this time. No one wants the froyo situation to repeat itself with gingerbread.

Motorola Announcement: No ICS for Atrix/Photon

Motorola updated their update page today: forums.motorola.com/pages/00add97d6c
Now says:
ATRIX 4G (MB860): Gingerbread (Android 2.3) rollout began in July 2011. Further plans coming soon.
It was supossed that Atrix 4G was receiving ICS for third quarter (which end this september 30).
I'm really disapointed with Motorola/Google. They says this after they promised an update on February.

"Further plans coming soon."
Still some hope. Let's keep optimism on the Atrix XDA board...
Also its status has been "refreshed"... Which means there's activity.

LOL. I just checked the page last night and it still had the "In development, rollout begins in Q3" message. Now it's as you say.
Ah well. In the long run, it's just a phone that does cool stuff. Many thanks to everyone who figured out how to decrypt the bootloader, open up the capabilities this phone has, and were willing to show the rest of us how to do it. In another year the majority of us will be on another phone anyway, it's the nature of the tech beast.

sad story..., they did change the Canada one to staying on 2.3 and the EU (had no update before) one to the same as the US one

That's a shame. I wanted the goodies ics brings with hardware acceleration and a better use of my lapdock. Hopefully they at least release drivers/kernels so the devs can make it work.

What a horrible title. The fact that a bunch of other phones say "Will remain on Gingerbread" should tell you that the update isn't cancelled yet for the USA Atrix because it says "Further plans coming soon". At this point they are obviously way behind the Q3 date they said before, but if it they weren't working on it I doubt they would tell us that plans were coming later.
Read this article. Soni says they are talking with the different teams and establishing dates they know they can hit. That article is about the Bionic which was planned for early Q3 and now they're going to get it in Q4. Like Soni said, they will be sticking to the dates they set and obviously the Atrix isn't as far along as we all hoped and they can't accurately project a date. Wait until it says all Atrix phones are staying on Gingerbread before posting something like this.
http://www.droid-life.com/2012/09/2...raw-deal-new-motorola-will-try-to-fix-things/

I don't get why the Canadian update was cancelled. This means that I'll never get to see stock Motoblur ICS. And ICSBlur actually seems to be good, unlike GingerBlur (not to be confused with the custom ROM).

Well.. time for some questioning.. especially after receiving this only a few days ago:
"Dear Ryan,
Thanks for reaching out to Motorola.
I do apologize but we currently do not have any notifications regarding the exact release date of the official Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade for the Motorola ATRIX 4G. It is scheduled to roll out as an over the air upgrade this third quarter of 2012. You will receive a notification on your device once the upgrade is already available for download. I'm so sorry for the inconvenience."
This next response oughta be interesting.

No custom!
