So I just got a text from a buddy of mine saying his boss's epic updated OTA to 2.2 this morning. His hasn't updated, yet, and I'm still on DK17, so mine won't. We're all in middle TN. If anyone else gets the update, chime in and let us know.
I know everyone here is tired of all the rumors. The wait may finally be over.
I live in DC, but have a Memphis number. Do you think its worth it for me to flash back to DI18 this evening? Right now I am really enjoying DK28 after getting the screen rotation fixed...
Personally, I'm going to wait until I see more people get the update. If you're happy with the rom you have, then you might as well wait, too. I want to minimize my time waiting with a stock phone.

Get your buddy to ask his boss to check his hardware version. Don't want a repeat of the .4 vs .5 issue =P
The both got their phones at the end of October, a few weeks after I got mine. I know my friend's is a .5. I'd be shocked if his boss somehow got a .4 phone.
Samsung hasn't released anything on their twitter feeds or support feeds about a ota update. They are still saying by the end of the month.

Sad thing is, we're all so fed up with getting our hopes up that none of us are flashing back to DI18 to see if we get the update lol

So his boss was on complete stock DI18, got an update notification, updated, and now has DK28?
Also, make sure its not hardware .4, some people randomly got them from buying em at the store.

damage referenced an update in a few weeks. im quite sure he knows the factual release date of 2.1, but cannot tell. if we know not to expect a major update from damage for a few weeks, we can assume itll be after the official update.
the mr is probably for the mms issues or something we read in that memo? idk...dont be expecting 2.1 though

Yeah I wouldn't expect anything in the way of 2.1 just yet. When I had a blackberry they would literally release like 5 or more leaks before the actual update. We've had 2 so far that I know of.

I'm following the Sprint forums and they're saying 2.1 update will be out by the end of the day.

Vince, different areas have different requirements, but I know that Verizon where I live will rarely hire someone with prior cell phone experience. They want to brainwash you with their ways and methods, for the most part. Not sure about AT&T, when I interviewed with them, I was so turned off to their practices, I pretty much told them I wasn't interested right then & there. Never expected a call back, nor did I want one. Going back to Sprint this week, so my sources will be in full effect, I'll see what tidbits I can get you guys.

Next time you may want to actually reaf the article instead of just the headline. The update for ATT is not a GPS fix.

I call BS. The story I just read on Android Community said nothing about the Fascinate GPS being fixed in this update. It said "this update is only minor bugs that have been with the device since launch." No mention of GPS.
And here is Verizon's announcement. No GPS fix.
[sarcasm]look at that. CDMA variants are getting updates whereas GSM phones are bullet proof from the get go, thank you sammy![/sarcasm]
I was gonna flip out of yet another company gets a update before us even though ours was out first.... argggggg
Even if there's no GPS fix still. How come were getting shafted at tmobile. Fascinate just came out like what 2 weeks ago if that?

a update this week on a Update? lol
Im gonna say no. Its the 6th of oct. now and I believe sept.28th is when the Kies update hit and Tmobile said do not update, Information about a update will be posted in a week or Upcoming week I dont remember. Well, a week has gone and past and nothing.
I will say I bet, that by the end of this week, lets say Saturday night, there will still be no word on a update.. I for one am rooted and flashed Eugenes Twiz final so I dont need a 2.1 gps fix or what not, I want froyo. Even then though I doubt there will be any word on any update this week.
So, POLL.
Edit: Please dont respond with, why does every *****, blah blah be patient a update is soon. SOON IS NOT 1/4 of a DAMN year, Every other SGS has had a update, hell Captivate has a leaked FROYO rom. How long will people keep saying, keep waiting, we will have it soon.
EDIT: I post threads like this so it bites me in the ass and we get a update sooner. See, it worked. WE got a update before my timeline was up...

i hope that they give us the froyo, especially now that phones that are built in with froyo are out in the stores and of course the galaxy tab too. i don't care if it's not this month or it will be by the end of the year, i just hope that they give it to us.
You know why they don't say anything definitive? Because if something goes wrong at the last minute and the deadline slips, they'll catch even more flak.
We can't make this go any faster. Nothing you say or do is going to make Froyo come out faster. Just go out and take a walk or something. Life will not end in the interval between now and Froyo.

So... I was finally able to talk my wife into updating her horrible mytouch 3g. The only thing she was willing to get was the mytouch 4g. No problem, seeing as how she cares nothing about tweaking or mod'n her phone. I am however a little surprised with her new phone. It came out of the box with 2.2.1, which makes it very snappy with a 1743 quadrant score.
Now getting to the point of this topic. We just came from our local T-mobile store buying the spousal unit a case for her new phone and while there I asked the rep...
Me: "So when can I expect to have 2.2 on my vibrant?"
Rep: "It's already out. My buddy over there has it already."
Me: "I know you CAN get it, but i'm referring to the official release."
Rep: "Ohhhh (puzzled look while looking around). It should be first quarter?"
I just thought this was funny while it transpired. What he secretly meant was 1st fiscal quarter which ends in just 4 days time. I know for a fact that he knows what he is talking about. (Laying the sarcasm on pretty thick)
Just thought I would share this. I hope no one jumps on this thinking I am posting that I actually received the update. Have a great evening all!

Yep, file with "i know a guy....".
I'm sure he had no clue what you even meant by 2.2.
The epidemic continues.
Froyo really might be near because the leaks are getting better and better. But i don't expect it to come less than a month.
Eh... let em bash away. I wasn't claiming to know any inside intel. I wanted to share a funny story ;-)

Notice something different in Kies mini. The firmware upgrade data was 2010-10-01. Now it becomes 2010-12-29, however it still says my JI6 is the latest version. Probably they're updating the file on server. Hope so...
