Been reading comment from people who already downloaded the new 2.2 Froyo release. It appears to have some bugs that are annoying.
Contact list for some have letters missing so you cannot access e.g. "K" but letters are not the same for all.
Music player sometime restarts.
Gallery bug issue for some
And a few other few other misc bugs that escape me. These all look pretty easy to resolve, but I am glad that Samsung has Europe as the test dummy. Think about it, actually it makes sense. There are many languages spoken in a small area with different alphabets, so I guess releasing there first finds all the bugs faster?
Anyway, I am patient

Cool. That means we are going to be test dummy #2
How's that cool???
They've been a test dummy for WP7 launch, they are a test dummy for Froyo release for Galaxy S...
Seriously Samsung is probing their water here, it will be a huge upset if their Galaxy S flagship sinks within 2 miles off shore.
All new software is buggy, you nubs.

Looks like someone doesn't know about QA! They test the software and make sure it's bug free before it rolls out. I used to do software testing and would throw builds back at developers until they fixed all the bugs.

Does want buggy 2.2
All software is not bug free
Obviously, these people's comments below do not understand how marketing controls releases. If new software was released bug-free Then how does anyone explain Microsoft's bazillion updates and security fixes that are needed from their "bug-free" software releases. The fact is with Samsung, it appears they did not do enough QC before the release. Especially with cross over from one language to another. My point was... I am glad Europe got this first, by the time we get it , most of these issues will be resolved.

Correct. There's never been a bug free release of any significant SW in history, nor is there likely to be in our lifetimes. If that had been the criteria for releases we'd still we waiting for DOS 3.1.

Fair arguments all around. From what has been said the bugs are pretty severe, ones that should have never made it out the door (music app crashing/restarting?) but that's only in an ideal environment when qa/dev works through and is able to triage bugs appropriately without upper management getting involved.
I'm also not too sure about saying that these bugs will be fixed by the time it's released on our side as from what I know when Samsung released their update they released it to all their carriers it's just the eu side that is getting it out the door first. I haven't read any official statement about Europe being a test bed.

I heard some rumors flying around of a 22nd release date. Maybe this thread can organize all of that.
?
Yeah...we have all heard rumors and what not.....
Not sure there is anything we can organize or do...
Just wait until the 22nd and hope
My source at Verizon told me that via an internal email 2.0 is coming to the Eris at the end of January. They have not set a date for the release yet, but when they do, I will post an update for everyone.

That was issued to fix one bug. The one where your phone locks up on you at the lockscreen and you have to pull the battery.
There's still one coming on the 22nd that fixes a lot of other bugs. It won't be 2.1.

rooting 2.1 with sense on eris?
i hope i'm not the only one to think of this but:
if firmware 2.1 does come out on the 22nd of january, what does this mean to all the work done rooting firmware 1.5? because i'm pretty sure the problems with rooting the eris is not necessarily with fw1.5 but the sense UI thats layered on top of 1.5
even if 2.1 does come to the eris, it'll probably be a watered down version of fw2.1 because the hardware on the eris is not really optimized for 2.1 and it'll probably have a newer tweaked sense UI built upon the code from 1.5
i hope this is not a draw back but it's something to think about
It depends on the kind of attack we end up using. If we end up attacking the linux kernel directly, I doubt there will be time to plug the holes at this point. The bootloader / updater stuff, though, might be more risky, and I've been wondering about this for a while now. Guess we just have to wait and see which attacks come to fruition.
no kernel source code
i see what you're saying but htc hasn't released the source code for the kernel. i think thats what the senior members of this forum (acidbath5546, ataranine, rigmrt, etc.) are trying to get from htc through those emails. so the method of "attack" must be something else. unless of course those Mod edit: Employees at htc decide to allow us to use our devices the way we want
i'd love to contribute but i'm soo dame busy watching hulu, they've got some great stuff over there
Really, guy?
Either way, the way we're currently attacking it is like this: we know that a vulnerability was discovered on a certain date, and patched on a date after that. Fortunately, both of these dates are well after the date that the current version shipped, meaning that the target kernel must be vulnerable. Obviously this security flaw has been patched, and will do us no good in the future, but at least it's a start in our workflow.
yep

We have been trying...and Htc is sorta hearing us...
I just got word from someone at Engadget Mobile that Htc has heard us and seen the threads and emails..
And like they did on the Hero, they will release kernel code...its just a big machine over there...so we do owe them a bit of patience..
But it is good to know they heard..
Amazing what we can do as a community!

their are rumors going around that the samsung moment will get 2.1 on the 22nd. if that is true would someone jsut be able to port that over to the hero pretty easily since they are both cdma?
just curious
We already have the CDMA drivers done on the leaked 2.1 build. All we need to put in are 1. Camera drivers 2. Bluetooth drivers
Toast just got multitouch working, so yay!
yeah true, well bluetooth is what i really need and I actually kinda like stock 2.1 more than sense, i think its mostly because ive had sense for awhile and like change.
sprint reps officially stated that there is no plan to release any update on the 22nd of the sprint forum.
It is well known that we are going to rollout 2.1 for the Moment, so that's not a new revelation. To me the intent of the article is to predict the impending release and I felt I should set the expectation. Many folks have expressed they are confused and they get conflicting information or no information/silence and they have been given promises that go unfulfilled. Just look at the comments following that article from folks who are certainly going to be disappointed even if it has been tagged as unofficial.
Yes, the target date is still 1H2010 and while I don't intend to address all future posts containing future date predictions, I feel it is necessary to disclaim the end of February rumored date. Customers who read that article should not hope that the 2.1 software will be available so please don't call the stores, please don't call Customer Care, please don't call Samsung taking a chance on the software.
Instead, monitor the situation here. This is your best source for data, I promised I would return from time to time with some updates and anyone who believes that know that if the software was that close to launching, I would have posted about it (basically means I am "coming back with an update as we get closer"). So I'm sorry I had to be so strong with my characterization of that article but with the high expectations for this update and I wanted to make sure this didn't go anywhere. No software for neither Moment nor Hero on 2/22, sorry. Please be patient and check back here."

Do just the opposite. Call Customer Care as much as possible, Call Samsung / HTC.

As soon as the devs get the camera going i will run 2.1 as my daily rom. I dont use bluetooth so that doesnt matter

Im with you on that.. and i can type pretty dam fast on it.. but its always wrong.. and I noticed its hyper sensitive... for instance, if i hover a finger over a virtual key it thinks Im long pressing it.. even though Im not touching it.. and if another text comes in while Im typing the key being pressed for that moment gets long pressed..
Haha I'm totally opposite you guys. I HATE physical keyboards. Back with AT&T, I switched a Samsung Eternity out for an Impression... big mistake. Not only the was the added bulk incredibly annoying, but the keyboard was SO innacurate, I just gave up on it and used the virtual keyboard. Trust me, virtual keyboards are better (if the keyboard isn't crap!). But have you guys tried Swype? I've been using it instead of the HTC keyboard, and I can type pretty accurately and fast now with it.

Yeah I did swipe for about a week. My main issue with V-KB's is that they take more focus. Its not that its anything wrong with it, I just cant bang out a text like I could on my Touch Pro.

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?

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.

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.
Im not sure about everyone else but I believe in Froyo. I beleive that when the official versions of Froyo and Flash are released that they will shoot Android to heights never before conceived. But all this negative publicity and "froyo is slow" threads on the UNofficial version of 2.2 is making me rather angry. Because people are stupid, (especially non tech savy people) I have bad feeling that anything negative said about this unofficial Froyo may taint the views of the official Froyo before it i even released.
So my fine friends here at XDA, what do we say about calling it somthing else help distinguish if from the official fixed version of froyo. Perhaps we could call it "Yoplait" because as we all know frozen yogurt is always better then regular yogurt. Except to Micheal Weston.

shuld be saved for the official release - if it turns out to be applicable.
On the other hand, identifying "issues" now, may be beneficial in allowing Google to see and fix them. Preventing them from being in OS2.2 when it is released.
Fear Not - people will judge the end product, whenever it actually eventuates.
Even though what is out there is not actually a hacked version, I have taken to calling it froyohack as a way to remind myself that it is not the real deal.

Haha! Nice! Especially the "I can't believe it's not FroYo".
My opinion, it's still a Froyo build, so there's nothing wrong with referring to it as such. Windows 7 beta was still windows 7. People still called it Windows 7. Tech savvy people called it by it's build number. We could just call this build off Froyo FRF50. . .many already are.

100% agreed.
Actually I'm sure people will stop calling it Froyo and just call it 2.2 when it's officially released. People soon dropped the name Donut when 1.6 was officially out. Similar thing happened with Eclair. I'm fairly certain the Froyo name will be dropped soon enough in favour for 2.2 after official release.
All I know is that right when this test build was released I flashed it to my phone and haven't looked back once.

Uh, why?
Whether Google adds more features or changes anything in the official 2.2 update or not, you can be guaranteed that the leaked version *IS* at least 90-95% (or even 100% of what the real version will be.
Are you expecting that the official version will be dramatically different or something?
It is froyo, FRF50 build. It's just an early build.

Whether Google adds more features or changes anything in the official 2.2 update or not, you can be guaranteed that the leaked version *IS* at least 90-95% (or even 100% of what the real version will be.
Are you expecting that the official version will be dramatically different or something?

In the world of programming and engineering small code changes can make dramatic differences in either good or bad direction.

It will not be build FRF50, most are expecting FRF80 or something. It will be an entire different version.

Yes, but you'd have to be delusional if you think that Google will somehow completely overhaul Android from 2.2 leak to 2.2 official.

Right, I think (or hope) that there will be enough difference from 2.2 leak vs 2.2 official that it will be very distinguishable, but still similar to where its not 3.0 yet.

2.0.1 and 2.1 are both eclair.
That's the point.
I've said before that the release will be a diferent build number, but they see both already "froyo" builds. The changes that are coming are behind the scene things anyways, you will hardly notice them.
Ok, based on a few suggestions, I am starting this thread as an Android 2.2 rumor thread for the Epic 4G. This is to be the ONLY thread complaining, whining, commenting, or asking about 2.2 on the Epic! Report all other threads about 2.2 rumors on the Epic and I'll merge them into this one. Also, repeat offenders who make more then one new thread about 2.2 outside this one will be infracted/and or banned for trolling. Thank you for your cooperation, and happy posting

Woo! More unsubstantiated rumors.
With each failed attempt at guessing a release date, our chances of being correct on the next guess improve, right guys? Guys?
So EA17 means that it was completed on the 17th of January. So either they are clueless how to release this OTA without bricking devices or they are really testing the **** out of this one then. I hope its the latter case.
I feel like Charlie Brown going to kick the football. Surely Lucy won't pull it away again this time...
I think this one will actually be the one, theres already proof with that picture. Now Now, I know that it can be edited, but still, it seems like this date will be the one we were actually waiting for.
I just don't get it.
EA17... so it's already done.
It's not out because it's being tested.
So why is there a release date?
- If they know it's fine, it should be out already.
- If they expect it to fail, then how do they know it will be ready by a certain date?
If I had my way a lot would be different... but I don't understand how/why the final release will not be a build dated maybe a week before the actual release date, a date we will not know until it happens.

It makes perfect sense. They are going to test whatever they release for a while to make sure its polished. The rumor that AC received was probably that IF they dont find any major bugs in this version, it will be released on the 21st.
If they are so sure it's fine, they should release it now...
And if they DO find an issue, they'll disappoint everyone AGAIN.
This is nothing more than predicting the future, and they've been doing it poorly for 6mos now, why does Sprint think they'll get it right this time?
Releasing it at such-and-such date assuming all's well is what they have been doing since August.

Sprint isn't leaking the rumors. It's individuals that work for Sprint who want to give us an idea of when we might expect it (then they find some bugs)... or just douchebags that want to throw out rumors for laughs. Again, Sprint doesn't say when they are releasing updates because that makes them look worse if it's buggy or they don't follow through.

I am running 2.2, it has some issues, but works remarkably well. No FC's, and only slight screen rotation lag. So I can wait for Froyo... I am willing to wait because I want them to fix any and all bugs... Whether that be GPS, keyboard misses, screen rotation, whatever..
I am not a Sprint Lacky, have no stock in the company, but how people can get so emotionally attached to a software upgrade is beyond me. I can only imagine what people will be saying if they released a rushed buggy version.
Those of us that flashed the FroYo DK28 will still get this OTA if/when it comes out, right?
Still getting used to this phone. The Nexus One I used to have was a lot different.
I'd be happy with a new leak that's better than DK28 instead of "release dates" for froyo.

Not exactly. You will have to flash stock DI18 for the OTA to come through and install. But I recommend waiting for our dev teams to get hold of it first to tweak it.
