It is now November and I still have yet to receive the update. Is there anybody else out there still waiting for the official update? I've wanted to replace the ROM for a while now, but I told myself that I'd wait till the official update came out. Well October has come and passed and I'm still waiting. How many of you are out there still waiting for it?

Why not officially push it on to your device with Mini Kies?

Hearing that froyo is on it's way soon so it may not be worth it but odin is easy and you can have stock ji6 today.
Edit: see above post as well.

OP, What exactly are you waiting for? An invitation? Even if your unwilling to flash JI6 via odin for whatever reason you can install mini keis on your computer and update that way.

I ran into many problem while trying to use Kies. Windows 7 just won't install the driver so I gave up on it. If a Froyo update is coming then I guess I can hold on for a while then.
I'm waiting on the official only because I want to have a back up that is using a stable official build. LoL I feel much better about it.
Thanks to all who helped me with this. I managed to make an old laptop running XP on it work and did the update with Mini Kies. So happy now especially since I can use my GPS correctly. Looking forward to what is to come for the 2.2 update.
Once again thank you all for the help.
That's what I ended up doing as well. I couldn't get Kies mini to run on my XP virtual on Fusion on OS X, so I had to dust off the old XP laptop...and locate and delete a bunch of hidden Spotlight files on my SD card OS X had put there. Turns out those file names had extensions that were too long for Kies to deal with.
Come to think of it, I never got the "automatic" Market update either (the one that lets you "update all" from a single button).

wow, I opened the market and it was the new one right off the bat! Question though: wasn't it supposed to have video previews? I haven't seen an app that has it yet.

there is no official Froyo release for the US market.
But you do have to have an unoficial Froyo on the phone, yes.
Here is the apk available from androidspin (it works OK for me, but no guarantees).

versedout,
Thank you for this bit of information. This is what all Android users have been waiting for. I am completeley stoked, but it's bitter sweet at the same time. I really love my Vibrant and really don't want to have to get another phone so that I could enjoy the nectur of the gods. I can only hope, no wait, I KNOW that one of the Devs will get this up and running for all phonesnot just: "The app has just hit the Android Market and is apparently available for the HTC Incredible, Nexus One, Evo 4G, and G2, plus the Samsung Nexus S. "

No need for an apk when there is an online Android Market. Here is the link to the market:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.netflix.mediaclient
apk - http://www.multiupload.com/NPZ062QIZB via Gizmodo.
Of course I installed it and it gave me "Netflix is not supoorted on this device..." but it does load up the startup screen.

A friend has downloaded it to his EVO 4G and the thing works flawlessly....Just pissed that they didn't make it for the Galaxy S/Vibrant.....just have to wait I guess (come on guys work your magic....Devs that is)
well its a no go changed my build.prop strait from cm7 for nexus s and its a no go lets me log in and check movies and such but wont play ill reinstall and see if its different
i get nothing but a blank screen then fc on cm7 with bilboa's kernel, tried installing the app twice with the same result.
grabbed apk from the HTC forum, not working on vibrant with TW 2.2 rom
Definitely what I was waiting for, I get alot of downtime at work. Netflix on my phone would be quite amazing...

Not supported on SGH-T959 with Bionix 1.3.1.
Stay classy Android fragmentation.
thought i had read a while back that netflix was only able to make a licensing deal for android if the supported device had hardware based drm to prevent piracy
Got the app on my G2 and its the same as my itouch. What I don't understand is why does it need DRM protected when you need an netflix account to use it.

Ohh ok well I haven't gotten it yet so I was just wondering
emo's have my heart and i have their razors
Has anyone gotten this OTA update yet? I have run the AT&T Software Update a few times today and it just gets stuck at "Checking for new software available now" indefinitely. I know this used to just time out before the froyo update was live.
I haven't gotten the update yet
I know over in the inspire thread about this they've said it's a silent update so try restarting your phone and check under applications in settings.

Has anyone received the update yet?
My Aria is rooted so no need on that one. But, my captivate unrooted now has amazon appstore. Seems like it is a silent update just reboot and try it might work. Captivate did not show the unknown sources option but i tried to install amazon appstore and it installed fine.
FYI
Ugh. Nothing yet.
I still haven't got the update. Hopefully it comes soon. If not, I still have the AC Sideload program
Still no update

Please tell me if this update can be applied only for AT&T users?
I have an unlocked ex-AT&T Aria. When I check for updates I get a "Server Unavailable" error. I suppose, it's normal, as I'm not on AT&T network.
The question is:
Is there any possibility to install this update for me?
My phone is not rooted and not s-off'ed. (Damn 2.2 off update with 1.02 hboot)
PS: Sorry for possible mistakes, English is not my native lang.
I still haven't received the update yet.
Most of us who are with vzw.
Have recived the 234 update.
Is any 1 having problems connecting to gtalk?

Redundancy of the OP's complaint aside, none of those posts suggest a potential solution to the problem. Does anyone have one? This all stems from a seemingly broken constant connect to Google, which results in most, or all, of the following symptoms:
White connection bars instead of green
Inability to connect with Gtalk
Auto-Sync with any Google service (gmail) disabled, despite check in settings
Someone suggested they were getting a push for an update, but there have been no details, and I'm not seeing anything. Aside from switching back to 2.3.3 or to CM9, is there anything else we can try?

Most Verizon reps seem to think that rooting tampers with hardware... I've been down that road with the Samsung Fascinate. I wasn't thrilled to say the least but I was still able to get a replacement since they couldn't prove that it was the reason why the phone failed. My patience for tech support of any kind is fairly thin due to me being an avid tech enthusiast...

Id be interested to see if the new phone has the same issues, I have flashed back to 2.3.3 multiple times and OTA'd back to 2.3.4 , each time the same problem, gtalk broke and service bars stay grey, and google sync never works unless I manually do it.
I called verizon today and I to have no use for verizon tech support I think each time I was more knowledgeable about my phone and its software/firmware then whoever I was speaking to.
I posted my every bit of the useless conversation I had with verizon in the proper thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25807552#post25807552
I feel like Verizon for some reason rushed the release of this version of gingerbread. There is constant talk that sony let Verizon have it for not updating the phone on time. I smell a rushed update!
Sorry to be a nub amongst you. But, can anyone tell me what improvement 2.3.3 provides over 2.3.2 for r800x. Btw, I'm using a different carrier, running 2.3.2 and bootloader is locked(cwm recovery mode installed and working and rooted). Thanks in advance

I know one thing about verizon they want to stay big red so they are not going to have to many upset customers. the 2.3.3 update for the phones was in september. I wonder if Verizon will get an ICS build in june or july. I can dream cant I?
