Just been talking to HTC Support about a problem with my Hero. I also asked them about the 2.1 update and she said (and I quote) '...the 2.1 update will be an over the air update which will be for T-Mobile and unbranded Hero's and will start on 30th April. Other operators will follow later. This is for the UK, other countries will have different release dates...'
So guys, another one to add to the mix.
Now don't start flaming me for posting this and don't acuse me of lying - I am merely passing on what HTC told me today.
well I guess its better news this time since its promised date is getting shorter each time they mention it (ie its not like next month or whatever they keep saying).
Not hold my breath anyway - bit the bullet a couple of weeks ago and installed villianRom 5.2 - seems to work well with a few glitch but nothing to cry home about.
I won't accuse you of lying but nothing will be set in stone until an official date is confirmed in a press release.
So I hope its true, but chances are it will get hit my more delays.

Actually, quite surprise that T-mobile will be the same time as unbranded phones though. usually carrier phones comes after sim free ones.

My god if there wasn't those posts the hero forum would be rather dead..... i mean i had a wimo phone before, and there were plenty of usefull posts, interesting apps, etc. and for the hero, except from some posts very useful for newbies like me (rooting, flashing radio, adb manual...etc.), nothing really interesting !!! Again and again the same posts..

This is for the galaxy s.... IN SPAIN. This does not apply to people with the vibrant. I would assume the U.S. is more of a priority to Samsung, therefore froyo should be out before then.

why US is more priority,

Why wouldn't the United States be more of a priority? I didn't even think anyone would have to think about that one.

Well, Samsung is a Korean company first off. Second of all, carriers don't lock/change their handsets like the US does, so it gets much easier to update when you take the carrier out of the equation. This is why Europe/Asia get new phones and the updates for those phones before the US.
That is just how it is.

Just remember that we only make up a small portion of the world and also that the galaxy s came out before the vibrant. It makes more sense for samsung to update that first.

Fixed that for you...
And simply by the first launch day, US version of the Galaxy S is much later than the regular i9000, so it is not hard to guess the U.S. variants would get it later than the international version.
Holy crap will everyone just shut up about Froyo. Enjoy the damn phone that you have. Its not like our phones are piles of crap. People are making Froyo out to be some mythical unicorn update. But I'm sure once we get Froyo the same people will be complaining that we don't have Gingerbread yet because the Nexus 1 is getting it in December.

Damn straight! I wish I were mod, then I could lock each and every thread about Froyo.
Lol whats funny is that engadget also reported that the UK Offical Samsung Mobile twitter page reported that
http://www.tmonews.com/2010/08/t-mobile-says-samsung-gps-fix-coming-in-september/
http://www.tmonews.com/2010/08/samsung-testing-gps-fix-for-galaxy-s-phones/
See two pieces of proof something is coming in September, we still have 10 days so lets see what happens.
So We do have like 3 Dates if you want to call it that.
One is September 23, 2010 for Froyo (2.2) which is supposibly for the International Galaxy S. Maybe it'll be compatible with all. Who Knows?
Two is September 29, 2010 for Froyo (2.2) which is for Galaxy S, IDK if all phones or Just International. IDK. I got this date from T-Mobile TODAY. I Called acted like i didnt know Anything about Android and was asking questions about The Samsung Vibrant. The guy said it comes with Android 2.1 but it'll get Android 2.2 soon. I asked if he knew a date, he said hes not for sure but he Read on a Forum somewhere about September 29, 2010. We'll See.
Three is Late October 2010. Which was told TODAY by Samsung Spain and posted on Engadget. So we have 10 days til September is over we'll see what happens. Thats all i know for now.
I'm Really eager like the rest of you to find out when our phones will get 2.2. Not only for Speed Improvement but for GPS Fixes (if implemented), 3 button hardware fix (if implemented) and of course Flash 10, Chome to Phone, the New G-Mail, Google Voice, and Tethering etc.
As eager as I am to get Froyo, I'd rather wait a little longer and let Samsung do it right than have them push something that's been rushed and running like crap. Based on the recent leaks I've seen, the most current Froyo builds have been buggy and not optimized at all.
I think late October/early November is my limit though. If they push it back further, I'm not supporting Samsung anymore. I'll switch to the G2. I can trust HTC will for sure push Gingerbread over to that phone. Who knows what Samsung will do with the Galaxy S then.
Fanboys need to stfu. You do realize many of us have buggy devices, and the fixes are being held up for froyo, right?
Dom't be idiots. Use your brains. The OS is a small issue right now. We want oir phones to work as advertised.
Yes, these buggy devices ARE complete and utter crap.

I was just reading from the Android Community web site feed. That the fascinates gps and other little fixes are being pushed out right now or tomorrow. Ours should be anytime.

First of the US carriers to get the Galaxy S, last to get the update... It feels like T-mobile has just been very slow to respond to this stuff lately. I mean, they got a Curve 8900 5.0 update like a month ago...
Link? Because my cousin's friend said Nokia was buying Google.
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?

I just got off the phone with Verizon Wireless Customer Service. I was questioning about setting changes to improve my signal strength. She said there was nothing she knew of. I then asked if she knew if the 2.2 update would bring with it a new baseband to improve the signal strength. She then said, well it is available for download, go ahead and download it and see. However, I am not in an area to do that. I am in Central Ohio, so I really have no idea if it is truely out or not!
Ummm...no. CS are useless.

There is a new network extender. It was announced last Thursday and does both 1X and EV
Verizon just released a new version of their network extender that supports 3g data last week. Retail cost of 250 though.

It's been said multiple times in the past month that they will be coming out in November.
This from Samsung USA's twitter as well - "yes. all current Galaxy S phones in the USA will be upgraded to Android 2.2 this year."
Actually I'm pretty sure that it W's confirmed that the particular comment you are talking about DID NOT apply to the variants in the states. However I was just being sarcastic anyway. It doesn't really matter to me at this point as froyo from Samsung is literally going to suck ass because the one thing that kills these phones is the one thing a firmware update wont fix, and that's RFS. Anyway, good day sir. Hope you are correct, that way we can get some good froyo ROMS rollin
Edit: actually, I don't recall that anyone anywhere has stated specifically that our phones will get it in November. And I am positive that u will find nothing specific to the fascinate. Anyway. Not flaming, just stating the facts.

"The Galaxy S series will be getting 2.2 Froyo in November, starting in Europe and over time pushing west." - Not sure if this includes the US, but I assume it does. Paraphrased.

It was a direct quote from Samsung's Twitter. What else could "yes. all current Galaxy S phones in the USA will be upgraded to Android 2.2 this year." mean?

True. And this is all moot speculation anyway. When Froyo was debuted at I/O, afterwards Google tweeted about the rollout occurring over the next few months. less than 15 hours later I pulled down a rooted OTA courtesy of Cyanogen. lol.
It should be sometime between now and Christmas.

True, Krylon did say he is legit, but still I have my doubts. I'm all for good news, not broken promises, or neglect.

If Kry says he's legit, he's legit. I wanna throw my guess to the big announcement-I think that they will not only release source but will have Vanilla android builds for those not wanting to wait for Touchwiz customizations (w/bloat obviously).
Gingerbread?
Now THAT would be an announcement.
One can dream.
Cant wait for the announcement, dont wanna get my hopes up but I hope it has to do with our favorite 's' word.
Again its funny and embarassing to see xda members direct thier complaints at you like you're some magic man that will end the nights they cry themselves to sleep over Samsung's mobile strategy. We appologize for them.

I am a bit skeptical about this announcement since user complaints seem to have fallen on deaf ears for a number of months. However, I hope this will really be something substantial that will sway myself and many other users towards purchasing samsung phones again instead of holding up #neveragain signs. If samsung would be willing to fix my GPS on my vibrant that would be amazing.

An announcement as to if and when T-Mobile gets a galaxy 2 is what I would like to know. The vibrant 4g is the phone the vibrant should have been out of the gate 6 months ago but I think that was probably tmobiles decision. We probably could have had the international version if tmobile had asked for it. My concern is that if they are getting the 4g version vibrant at the end of this month then its going to be a fairly long time if ever that we get the full featured galaxy 2.
