does anyone think it sounds fishy.. if you check on samsung firmware site every other i9000 has froyo update. including african/arabic.. why no north american? I am begining to wonder if it is they know that the newer froyo hastens the bringing to light the defective memory in our phones, and are witholding it for this reason.
The GT-i9000m is a Bell phone, and the firmware will probably be released once Bell tests it and adds their own branding and software.
Its just like down here in AU. Samsung don't release the firmware. Optus will take the firmware, modify it, test it, send it back to Samsung for distribution.
their are more places that don't have 2.2 then that do... so I don't know why you think its fishy...
Agreed, all firmware releases are by the individual carriers who all have their own quality control standards and network testing to conduct. Froyo seems to be progressively being released from East to West so I would expect North American carriers to be amongst the last to officially release. Another thing of consideration is the fact of their being almost all of the Galaxy S variants being carried on Canadian and US carriers.

Other than the software maybe working better with the m modem there will be nothing new or worth having over some of the current cooked roms. Even then, give it a couple weeks and we will use a cooked rom with that modem and all will be just fantastic. Dont see any reason right now to get worked up over froyo delivery schedules.

I'm very curious to know if I am going to have any problems rooting my phone when I get it and using it on the rogers network here in Halifax, Canada. I don't know if I need to unlock it after getting the new software on it since the software out there expects a US network. I really want this phone badly but I really only want it for the newer features rooting provides. Does anyone know if I should expect any problems even though it the same phone? I wouldn't expect that because it is a different network that I would have problems.
Since it's not officially released yet, rogers will not quote me a price but I can't see it being more than a damn iphone and T-Mobile released it as $179 with contract and still remains the same so besides a difference in Canadian funds plus tax it should not differ that much.
So can anyone shed some light as to whether the firmware will be able to be loaded on the "Canadian Version"?
As far as I can tell all that is new is this....
"On June 2nd, 2009 it will be released through Rogers Communications in Canada as the HTC Dream. This edition of the HTC Dream includes the UMTS 850 / 1900 bands for use on Rogers' 3G network."
I am unsure if this is new hardware or not and I dunno if it will affect the install of the ROM or not. Please help me out! Thanx!
how can we help u since we don't have either the hardware or the firmware yet. It's only ONE day left so calm down
no damnit...too excited!!! lol
I am on Bell Mobility (Vibrant) here in Canada. I noticed Rogers will have the Galaxy S (Captivate) mid October and has officially stated “expect an update to OS 2.2 to be available early 2011.″ So anyone know if this would be Rogers dictating the release date or is it Samsung? Also, if Froyo is released early 2011 with Rogers' Captivate, would that most likely mean the same date for all Galaxy S devices in Canada?
While samsung release firmware,
carrier has to approve whether user can upgrade it or not.
Thus firmware can be out but if bell, your carrier, does not approve it,
You will never get official update.
This is particularly annoying because canada is usually slow.....
Hi any rom with froyo for my G3L
Thanks

check out the threads in general section
The regular I5800 europe roms work fine.
Actually, the European versions do cause problems. Since the 3G frequencies are different in Europe and America, an European ROM will not fit snuggly into the American versions of the phone. At worst, you'll never get 3G coverage and will be stuck on Edge or just G, in the best case scenario it will work, but since the phone has to be calculating a number of redundant transmission packets, you battery life will be affected. The only way to really make the problems go away is for an American based company to release a firmware on froyo... which is ridiculously easy if you're looking from the point of view of the developer, because the only thing that has to be changed are the antenna frequencies in the drivers (easily done with the base code and the right tools).
The saddest thing is the superior i9000 (Galaxy S) already has Froyo firmwares in America, Asia and Europe; the inferior i5500 (Galaxy 5) already has Froyo firmwares in America, Asia and Europe. However, for some reason companies have not taken interest in the Galaxy 3. I bought mine in Brazil and have been using it in Argentina, which thank god has SOME european frequency antennas, which means I do get 3G sometimes. However, my battery drains way faster in an European Eclair or Froyo than it did in the American Eclair.
i don't know dude... but when i flashed froyo (kyrillos custom rom) i get everything... even the 3g... and it works like a charm. with the command *#2263# it shows all GSM bands.. even the 850 band.
i have a I5800L flashed with XXJPM (european rom) and no issues what so ever.
try a custom rom . Indroid is very good and fast
Anyone with more insight or experience? Not sure if I should bother picking a 5800L, if I can't run a stable version of Froyo.
Docnus: So zero issues using Kyrillos?
I'm using Kryrillos v3.0, no problems.
Quick & stable. GPS, WI-FI, 3g works fine.
Still confused?

Hi, Just wondering any users in Australia who have the i9500, what ROM are you using and which one has the most compatible modem/radio.
I am currently using the Singapore MEA rom on Vodafone Aus, but I cant get any good performance on 3G/H+ downloads, as compared to my HTC1..
Any help is appreciated!

What baseband? I've mainly used omegarom on s2, s3, note2 and now s4 but 3G doesn't seem its strong point using MDK baseband

If you know of a baseband that would be great, this crap lollipop update has ruined my phone and downgrading seems impossible without the correct baseband. I WILL NEVER BUY SAMSUNG AGAIN.

well in australia lollipop has not officially come out by any of the providers so any ROM you put on is a gamble, not samsungs fault,yours!
Listen up troll this is an international phone meaning what it describes, yet service for that model has to be from country of purchase. Samsung is crap, bottom line. It is not my fault that I use an international phone which does an OTA update and wrecks it. I blame Google Samsung partnership for bricking my phone by releasing lollipop with all its bugs that exist right now. Samsung has **** customer service, I explained a simple english word 10 times to a call centre because it was routed via a local store number. What's worse, is you must send the phone to another country to be repaired by the same company for the same phone. Apple don't do that, I hate apple too so just be quiet and don't talk with little knowledge.
Hi!
Just won a Canadian Galaxy Tab A (2017) SM-T380 at my job's Holiday party. I'm a bit displeased to see that it comes preloaded with 7.1.1 Nougat, a bit more displeased to see that no Canadian upgrade to Oreo exist, and much more displeased that the latest patch updates are dated January 1st, 2018 -- practically a year ago. Having no update/upgrade available from OTA, I went to SamMobile to see if a newer ROM was available, and found that some region did receive an upgrade to Oreo 8.1, with the Singapore and Korean variants having received security patch up to November 1st, 2018 and most European countries up to September 1st, 2018. Not so much love for North America...
Though I'm pretty sure I can flash another region's ROM on my Canadian tablet, as in the end they all share the same SM-T380 base, I'm wondering what are the differences between countries builds? I mean:
- Are the differences only limited to different base settings?
- Or are some capacities enabled in some countries, but disabled in some others (i.e. languages, keyboards not included, etc.)?
- Or (worse) does various countries ROMs include additional bloatwares bundled softwares?
- And could a specific country variant include, say, some mechanism to collect user data while another one would not have it?
What are the differences between a Canadian ROM and a Singapore ROM?
Oooooookay, litterally a day after I post my question above, I go back to SamMobile, and there's an Oreo 8.1 upgrade for the Canadian region variant. Pretty nice!
Still, my question would stay, I'm intrigued about the variations between regions.

Us Canadians ALWAYS are last to receive updates, it seems like.... Probably because our government makes sure to keep us censored and oblivious to what the hell is really going on with the rest of the world.

LOL quite like the description. Though I believe it's Samsung's policy, don't know why -- because I also have a OnePlus phone, and Canada is one of it's test market when updates are released. Samsung devices are obviously more common than OnePlus', though.
Still, I'm still wondering what is present or absent from a Singapore ROM that is not part of the Canadian ROM...
