Got proof?
Last I heard it was assumed that 3.0 was GingerBread. I remember a time when 2.1 was Flan.

It's all speculation. Google tends to stay pretty tight until they have a press conference or release party. Look at FroYo - it was a total surprise to wake up and find that they where dropping source into the tree.
The blog-o-sphere refers to Gingerbread as 3.0. I believe that Google has round-about-ly confirmed that the name is in fact "GingerBread", but we won't have a version number till they drop source in the tree again around November. Judging from the speculated improvements, it should be a major version number change.

Its 2.3

My guess is 2.3 is correct, jumping a full revision number such as to 3.0 would generally indicate a partial or complete rewrite of the core code.

3.0 is what the version info says - given its just a screen shot and leaks are hardly ever trust worthy, but i like drama.

I'm still going with 3.0 and not 2.3....

I actually kinda wish that Google would slow down a little. I'm scared to buy a new phone if it's going to be outdated in three months when Google puts out something new. I guess that's why we donate to our developers!

Google has said that they will be slowing down after GingerBread(regardless of the version number). My assumption is they did not expect such rapid growth of the platform and users need a fully functional OS to make it worth buying into - A phone any more is not a quick purchase, there is a lot of investment in hardware and software. Where as with feature phones they where cheap(in comparison) and easily replaceable.

From what I remember seeing, the next update is to have some big changes making it most likely 3.0. All speculation though.
Personally I'm happy android has been updating quick. Keeps the phones newer fresher feeling longer and fixes problems quicker. I came from winmo and never got fixes and the roms bored me. Plus I really hated 6.5.
I'm holding out until December to upgrade and debate on new phone or used evo. I've been out of contract for 9 months now.

At the earliest most likely... patience Lil grasshopper

samsung is holding an event on the 16th to show off the media hub on the galaxy s phones and to show off some new models. I'd expect them to make an official announcement then since they've been rather quiet recently.

Some tmo rep said the same thing. End of this month. He also had to mention the g2 end of this month too. Kinda wondered should have I waited

eh, the G2 isn't much of an upgrade over the slide so I'd say you made the right choice.

Well with verizon's version of the galaxy s out, i think there is nothing to hold a massive upgrade to all versions back.

given that the tab is going to be running froyo real soon, the galaxy s phones shouldn't be that far behind. in fact, i think they should get the update first, but hey, what do i know

is this the latest update we'll get? will we be getting 3.0?

considering the number of devices sold, we'll probably get 3.0

Gingerbread would be great and a good pr move on the part of samsung. My expectation is low though simply because they will want people to buy new phones. Gingerbread will be an easy upgrade too because out would be vanilla with touchwiz and widgets being addons. The Tab has similar hardware and it may get it, making a custom ROM likely.

Me too. Samsung known for their bad support for older models !
For example Samsung Omnia they stopped supporting the device after 1 year only !! NO WM6.5 !!
HTC is way better in supporting old mobiles !

Last I checked, Samsung hasn't actually offered a phone to 100 carriers around the planet, including all 4 US national carriers.
As long as a single large American carrier demands the next version of Android, we ALL will get it.

I don't see the connection between froyo and the gps fix. If it was an android fix then we should have a fix already, I expect it is firmware based.

Im thinking this is also true, which leads me to think that this phone is going to be pretty damn awesome after 2.2. Then again this could just be wishful thinking...
Just wondering how the GalaxyS community is going to react if 2.2 isn't 100% PERFECT.... :grabs popcorn:

mmmm popcorn.... mmmm (visits microwave...)
anyone whining bout the gps fix needs to check out rooting and flashing eugenes vibrant 9 rom, ive made this comment like 15 times buuuuuut. i get a lock within 10meters in only 10 seconds with the gps on and the cell tower assist feature on. no nead to play around in Lbstestmode menus just turn on location settings in the menu open maps and find "my location"... and this is inside my apartment....
I cant wait for ALL the bonuses in 2.2 like flash and included wifi tethering but do we really need to make a million threads about it??? lol

Looks like the Captivate OTA is a bit of a clusterf***

If you go over to the Captivate forum, many many many people are reporting failed updates, including possible brickage in some instances. There doesn't seem to be a common thread to the failure (root, lagfixed, custom ROM, etc.); it's just widespread and seemingly random. Some people have stock Captivates that won't update successfully, while others have updated rooted phones and maintained root.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say "T-Mobile and Samsung, please take your time and make the Vibrant update perfect."

Not only that, but also if you read AC at all they are planning another OTA for the Epic because the last OTA slowed their 3G speeds waaayyy doownn

That's what I said in the other thread about the update. MAYBE, just maybe T-Mobile held off on the update for the GPS/other fixes just to see how the update did on ATT and Verizon and go from there. I'm not as upset over the fact that we didn't get any update, so I agree with you. Take your time Samsung and T-Mo and make this update awesome and worthy to hold us until 2.2 gets here

Read that tonight too. Other carriers are "Pawns" while T-Mo users wait while the bugs get fixed and the others have to deal with them maybe?

Wonder what this will do to everyone here who have been endlessly complaining about T-Mobile not updating fast enough like all of the other companies.
....Probably nothing now that I think about it.

Maybe T-Mobile is shooting for quality. I just wish they'd tell us about it instead of being super tight lipped. A simple "the update did not meet our QA standards" message would do the job. Saying absolutely nothing is only hurting them. Same for Samsung. Give us a release date for Froyo, even if it's Dec. 27th. They've got nothing to lose since people in the know are already being persuaded to not buy the phone and people not in the know are still going to buy it because of all the pretty colors.
What sucks is, them having to fix this problem is probably only going to slow down the time frame of when we should get our update.

My gfs captivate updated without a problem, I guess shes in the minority though

Got a tweet from TMO after I asked them and SamsungMobileUS about the update
@gothdroid Samsung is working on an update as soon as we have any more info we will tweet it out. ^CG

Hopefully that means that we will get an update that doesn't mess with our Vibrants which I was for a little bit thinking about selling.

well let's hope that the update will be bug-free and the update process is not troublesome like bricking our phones..
is it possible that tmobile is not working enough on asking samsung to update our vibrant that's why it is taking a long time for them to update our phone? vibrant is the very first to be released and why is it the last one to get an update?? or is it because there isnt much vibrant users and thus makes samsung less focused on updating it? ughh
just wondering

I'm running the new Froyo ROM, but would like to have a good working stock ROM to go back to in case I need too

Seriously, someone should buy the programmers that work for these vendors an actual phone to test their releases on.

A lot of peole have been wondering if T-Mo/Verizon/ATT test their phones before launch. The only one that's had little issue is Sprints Epic. Samsung pushed for this device to be released in the States, even though people have been complaining about the GPS issues..

I too don't plan on accepting any OTA updates. I still don't understand why some of the peeps that visit XDA are all QQ over slow/lack of updates for the Vibrant. Not to mention all the QQ'ers about Froyo. FOR GODS SAKE we are at XDA the majority of us don't even run Stock UI's or would accept an OTA due to running a different rom.
I wish all the douche nozzles would just STFU.

It would be nice so the devs would have an official rom with official drivers that are optimized to start with. The froyo we have now doesn't have a nice JIT, correct?

As ususal, Engadget gets it wrong. They can't even read a press release, and never bothered to pick up the phone and call Samsung. This announcement was datelined from London and about the UK, which is clear from its context.
See also this thread in Vibrant forum.
p.s. As recently as a few minutes ago, Samsung's Galaxy S support site for the U.S. on Twitter was saying there is not ETA for Froyo on this side of the pond at all.
Deployment for the Epic is even more complicated than the rollout for the GSM-based variants in the U.S. If the Epic gets Froyo in November, I will be most pleasantly surprised.

one way or another it seems like typical samsung taking forever to release an update

I just got word from my sprint connect to not expect froyo until mid-late december... he said it may be well into january before sprint pushes it out. let's hope he's wrong!

Anyone who expected something sooner has been misinformed, or just thinking wishfully. Many examples of both errors have populated comments in the various forums for weeks or months.

I hope they put the Sprint ID or whatever it is on it so I can do away with TW all together. Looked at the Samsung Transform review and was jealous that there was no TW.
I was hoping the delay was due to Sprint ID

In other words.....maybe on the next phone.

I'm inclined to believe this since Rogers in Canada is saying their version of the Captivate will get Froyo in 2011. If Froyo was ready in 2010, everywhere else in the world, why would Rogers tell their customers to expect it in 2011?

Samsung is a joke when it comes to software updates...almost on par with htc gimping allof there products

What? You want to wait until 2012 to get a new OS update?

What does 2.2 offer that you can't have on 2.1? I just don't see what the big deal is anyways. Is everyone that unsatisfied with their phone that they are getting bent out of shape about 2.2? This is Sprint and Samsung we are talking about right? I fully expect it to be here in January or February. In the mean time, I will enjoy my Epic with 2.1 Which is still better than the Evo on 2.2, imho.

Phone is plenty fast for me but I don't do anything extensive on it. Even when it drops I'll probably still wait a while to see if it's even worth it. Reading the Evo forums, it sounded like it was more trouble than it was worth and broke more things than fixed.

I'm guessing it hadn't been restarted in awhile and had every app open on it running in the background. I checked it and sure enough it was running on 2.2.

So stop assuming, if the aria dosent get the gingerbread update its because of manufacturers and the cell providers, they are the decision makers and my HTC Aria should be able to run it just fine and of course SET CPU or another CPU overclocker could help if needed. jus a matter of time now!!!!!

Someday the cell phone manufacturers will have control over their own products instead of the cell carriers. There is no reason why HTC should not be able to release 2.2 for those of us who choose not to use AT&T as their carrier. They have control because people just keep on buying those subsidized phones, when that stops (probably never) then HTC can release software when they feel like it, and not when AT&T says it's ok.
Cheers.

The whole "Apple" has AT&T in their pocket thing is BS. If anybody has someone in their pocket, its the other way around. You dont think that Steve Jobs wants to pocket money made from other carriers selling his product?
I dont think he realized how popular the iPhone was going to be. That will all change come February. No more contract!
Im not really upset that they havent rolled out Froyo to the public yet... I have had it for a while with CM. I mean, if Team Douche can roll out Froyo for the phone, than why cant a major corp put Froyo out?
It indeed does not make sense. We will probably get Gingerbread before Froyo rolls out for the Aria.
Sad as that may sound!
Sent from a borrowed SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

You have to realize you can't just roll out an update all at once for every single device. To ensure it's n00b-friendly there has to be a lot of testing or else you'll get dumbasses who sue these days. AT&T has their hands tied with the iPhone, it's their flagship product at the moment, so devices like the Aria are down on the list in getting updates (because we all know AT&T has to inject the ROM full of ****-ware before it's ready right?).
