GalaxySSupport twitter page said the following when I asked them for android 2.2 info for fascninate.
"The Fascinate will get 2.2 by the end of the year. We will keep you informed on Twitter as we get more details! ^Mary"[email protected]
If were gonna wait that long they might as well just bump us to ginger..
"End of the year" who in the hell would want to buy this device, for a x-mas present for instance , with the uncertainty? Not a reel smart marketing move on Samsung's part.

lol I like how ppl think complaining is going to help, 2.1 isn't the best agreed but it's so much better running on the fascinate than my eris was. we are going to get it just suck it up and enjoy the phone.

I will not keep this phone much.longer without froyo. I hate to say it but the lack of support is.t a good sign. Most people in here likely bought this phone for the same reason i did and that's hardware, but that can only keep me on ship for so long.

I couldn't agree more. I am on my second phone and this one isn't much better. I should have kept my droid.....
lol, does anybody remember the wait for froyo on the droid. It was forever »+ empty promises. This isn't so bad yet.

Agreed, it's this way with MOST devices no matter the platform. Can ya'll imagine how uncluttered these forums would be if people quit complaining bout the same thing over and over again?? Just saying...
The thing you guys seem to be forgetting, there's only seven weeks left in the year, so it's not really a long time.
Very true spot mark. Just a little dissapointed and after reading all the i9000 threads the only upside I see to froyo is that Jt, angel, and adrynalyne can get ahold of this ***** and make it worthwhile

official rollouts starting next week. I work for t-mobile so don't take my word for it
:hmmm: I'm not saying your wrong, but why would they put out JI6 today, if they were going to release froyo in a week?

Just to comment on your question, the JI6 update could very well be needed for a clear and stable path to a froyo upgrade.
Sent from my BIONIX VIBRANT using XDA App
This is just another troll. The JI6 update will be rolled to everyone throughout October. There is no way Froyo is coming until everyone gets JI6, so at least not until November, chances are probably even later.
I second the ban. As people get banned for Froyo trolling, we will see less and less. (Hopefully.)
Thanks OP.

If you don't believe him, good for you... but you don't need to get offensive and insult people, respect if you want people to respect YOU.
But he said don't take his word for it. I hope he is just being sarcastic, otherwise, it is pretty much just another trolling attempt.
Maybe its true maybe its not but the first guy on the forum that said he got an update got called a liar and all sorts of things until people noticed it was true I didn't see one apology to him either in my opinion I hope it is true and if it is thanks for the info and if its not maybe he just got bad info himself NO BIG DEAL!

That's pretty frustrating. If not for the great progress the CM team has been making, I would be considering a different phone at the moment.
Maybe next year in 1st or 2nd quarter, if Sprint has nothing better to do. Do yourself a favor and get the DK28 leak.
its coming
I have confirmed with my sources, we were all part of an expirement by samsung and sprint to prove that they could put out a total **** product like the moment...... and then still promise the moon aka the epic 4g and we would all go and buy it and hope we wouldn't complain about not having froyo simply because we are not getting data lockups. So there you have it, 2.1 no data lockups if you want 2.2 buy there next phone it will come out stock with it but by then there will be android 3.2
Lol, sprint held off n releasing froyo because they saw then noobnl and the rest of cyanogen epic team is making progress. And they are testing it to steal some ideas and put a sprint branding on it. hahaha

Really? You think people have been patient? I've seen nothing but constant whining (in the dev forum, no less) since I first started lurking here back when the phone was first released.
It will be released when its released. This isn't a great place for complaints- nobody who cares or who could even enact a change will read it. This constant whining does nothing but drive people away who might be interested in developing or push down the posts of the fractional population that actually has something to contribute.

Thanks for that troll... the epic is supposed to be epic, now its worse than the moment... Thats just horrible business.

I agree that this is not a great place to complain about ROM versions, but for whatever reason the dev section is 90% ROM related (there should be a ROM subsection). But...this phone should have been released with froyo. I was running froyo on my Vogue/Sprint touch for months before I bought this phone. Hopefully Samsung will catch us up soon.

Who cares? You're not running the ****ty software like the EVO, and 2.3 isn't going to be any different (for the most part). If you want to complain, go to a sprint store near you and ***** to them. Nobody is going to want to develop anything if people don't stop complaining. All of the resources are in these forums to make your phone look just like "2.3".

I hope it is true, but with the comment about the tablet being announced, this makes it look like someone is speculating and rolling the dice. (How many times have we heard "I have an inside source, it is DEFINITELY this <significant date>" ?) If you throw turds at the wall, sooner or later one will stick.
I hope it is true though, and it does make sense to do it during the big hoopla
I didn't even crack a smile reading that article....this damn Epic had the most hype I've ever seen for a phone....and now we get the least respect with this late ass Froyo release...lol, I'm just waiting for the source code to see what our great developers can cook up for us!
That's if this release date is actually lidgit...
Well that would be awesome if its true. 2 weeks inbetween the official and the source being released means that I would get to use the official rom for around 2-3 weeks before meaningful roms are released with new and exciting features.
There is nothing on Google News. Nothing on Sprint's Twitter feed. "Don't youuuuu beelieeeeeeve iiiiit...."

Read several threads where people spoke with Sprint reps. They said there was an issue with EC05 so they pushed it back till the 24th. If this means anything from Sprint those on the East Coast wait till the 25th and if you get a update before please let everyone know.
It would be nice if Sprint has some idea what it means to communicate with their customers and post this officially. God forbid they keep us in the loop.
Company communication SUCKS in general these days, which is REALLY sad considering how many mediums we have to communicate with!
This is me speculating...but I don't think its been pushed back.
The update started on the 21st to be delivered through to the 24th. I would think that the reps are telling people the 24th b/c there's nothing they can do but have us wait and they don't want people calling repeatedly.

I can see your point of view. However has anyone received an stock EC05 update as of yet? Everyone reporting nothing. No one has publish a update.zip file at all.
Dude, you do realize the people that go to XDA are in the minority. Most people could care less when and if their phone is updated. They don't look at the next update as a cure to all their ills.
I would say 9 out of ten Epic owners have no idea what XDA even is.

I'm sure we have a ton of lurkers who'd never post.
Either way - We have two reports on various forums of someone receiving the update. There is also one tweet from someone about 16 hours ago. I imagine they start out slow and increase the size of the batches as they update.
The next 12 hours will be very telling I think.

If you got an a message to update then post the update.zip. For gods sake man, everyone has waited and I haven't seen anyone post a file or a message about getting a real update. All I seen was the leak, and it is not what people want. If we got the stock we could root it and post it out there for others. Thats whats this forum is all about helping others. Positive and helpful comments only. If Sprint wanted everyone to have it there would be tons of posts about getting EC05. So far nothing and NO update file. Look in /cache and the root of your sdcard. I am sure Sprint has a script at the end that deletes the file. If you don't have root explorer write me back and I can seen you the apk. We really need to know if this is the real deal though!
I thought I would share this with you all. It's kinda lulzfull that people know who we are.
I am currently with T-Mobile, but am more than likely going to switch to Verizon when they become AT&T-Mobile late on this year as I hate everything that is ATT and refuse to give them my money. So anyways here's the story. Note that I am ME and the Verizon guy is VZW, and that it's kinda emelished for the lolz, but this conversation did genuinely happen.
Me-Oh hai, I'ma lookin at switching from T-Mobile to you guys and would like to ask about a Thunderbolt and see what kind of packages you all offer.
VZW-KK coolio. The T-bolt is awesome, but kinda expensive...might I reccomend the !FASCINATE!?
Me-TROLOLOL it doesn't haz froyoz!
VZW-BUT IT'S COMING! I SWEAR.
Me-....-.-....bro, I am a moderator at XDA developers...I know stuff.
Then the entire conversation changed.
VZW-...wow really? I visit XDA all the time! I used to have a Fascinate but I got tired of waiting for OTA Froyo so I went with the Thunderbolt as soon as it came out. I still have my Fascinate though and I use the newest Superclean ROM. What board do you moderate?
Me-....the HTC Rose...and the Fascinate.
VZW-Really?
Me-Yeah...names ashasaur.
VZW-DUDE. I KNOW YOU. MY NAME IS-(deleted cause he doesn't want me to put it here). I like what you did with the trolling.
Me-Yeah that stuff is kinda outta control but I am working on it.
VZW-Yeah that times_infinity dude really trolled everyone bad, I thought you where gonna ban him.
Me-Naaaahh. We are all cool.
VZW-So yeah, the Fascinate SHOULD be getting Froyo within 2 months...but again, we have hearing that for the last year almost.
Me-That's why I want to go with the Thunderbolt, because of good updates and solid HTC hardware.
VZW-Well I have to say that I admire all the devs at XDA, and that I love the custom ROMs for the Fascinate. I have used basically every version of SC that has come out and love it to death.
Me-Yeah I hear that SC is a pretty boss ROM.
*20 minutes of going on about plans and stuff*
Me-I do believe I am going to switch here in about a month.
VZW-Awesome, we look forward to having you.
Me-Word.
Anyways, this HONEST TO GOD took place. I was geeking out the entire time over the fact that someone out there knows who we are. Anyways, that's my story. Thoughts?
