I've been noticing a lot of the apps on the market stating that we all have press release versions of Froyo. Is this true?
Can you give some examples?
Haven't seen this.
yeah, PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!

yeah really
also is that picture of yours gordon freeman?
look at nexus mod...
and look at this http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/android-2-2s-froyo-goodness-hitting-the-nexus-one-already/ check out the 3rd update
We've done some additional investigation, and as far as we can tell, Google is only updating review Nexus Ones that had been provided to the press -- not off-the-shelf phones. We'll stay on this and let you know more as soon as we do.

this the only thing that made me believe it:
from @Romain Guy

If that turns out to be the case, we will get the new file so we can flash it; if not we can alway download the old 2.1 update file, flash and then let the OTA hit the phone.

Really? I thought everyone interested enough in tinkering with gadgets (aka nerds, JK ) knew Freeman, the famous silent protagonist armed with the mighty crowbar. Or maybe I'm just getting old and ppl don't play PC games anymore.
Anyway, hopefully a new rom will come. I still have problems mounting the SD card which sometimes causes crashes. And also missing market links.

Guys, let's continue the discussion in the older thread, too many duplicate threads being created... lets keep all in one place. Thanks though.
just called and asked about the 2.2 update she said we have no clue about the update. we are currently working on it with samsung but we have no date on when its going to be sent out to users .
THIS IS NOT GOOD
That's a standard reply. I wouldn't worry about it... at all.
why is this not good? You got a clueless rep.. big deal.

You didn't necessarily get a clueless rep.
I work support for a software company and I am far from being a clueless support analyst for said company. Even if I did know the expected date of a release, I still will not let on that I know the exact date in case of unexpected delays. Unless there is a confirmed and published release date for anything, a service rep would be foolish to give you a confirmed date.

Pretty much what he said.
Any release have to come from an official announcement of the company and the staffs are NOT supposed to speculate even if they know it's confirmed. Some companies are pretty strict on this and you will get fired and sued if you leak the info.
The rep wasn't clueless. The OP asking the question and expecting an accurate reply is the clueless one.
So what ?
Have patient people it's coming soon !
Apologies all... in an effort to not flame the poster (XDA rules) I leaned more on the rep.... I know you can not call and get an ETA like this over the phone.
Yea what is the deal with these service people. I just called and asked when Gingerbread OTA will be released and the person had no idea what I was talking about.
We are all excited about the updates. I'm particularly wanting the GPS fixed, but PLEASE don't waste valuable resources asking for speculation from the friendly CSR reps. They are there to help people with problems. And guess who gets to pay the CSR's salaries? Yep, we do!

Guys, I just called T-Mobile about when CM6 was going to be available for Vibrant and they said they hadn't even heard of CM6. Oh noes?
I asked them when they are getting the i-phone. You know that I-phone. It has apps. I want it. The one with 32 gee-bees. The rep didn't know when it was coming out. I'm going to switch companies! What horrible service.

Samsung is still on 2.1, and you are asking about 3?
Remember, when you call customer care, you are calling billing support. They do troubleshooting and phone orders, but they follow flows for troubleshooting and look up articles, why on earth would they know that, I doubt even Samsung has a clue about when 3 would be offered. It sounds more like you called because you wanted to make someone feel dumb.
It's a waste of time to keep calling CS because most of the time we know more than they do about releases and dates.

I'm pretty sure asking about Gingerbread was a joke.
I called T-Mobile and asked the CSR when my left nut would be parallel with my right nut. She didn't even know what I was talking about! I'm switching carriers. What horrible service.
I LOL'd HARD~~

Samsung is holding an event tomorrow to show off the media hub and the US galaxy tabs.
However, the question is, will they announce when froyo will be be available?
BTW, the event starts at 6pm EST.

Hopefully, after tomorrow there will be a much wider selection. I haven't been brave enough to actually pony up to pay for anything yet but, I have been pretty impressed so far with the quality of the previews that I have watched..
Can't wait, I hope they confirm Froyo because the G2 is getting right out of the box, we should have gotten that too.

Is this on TV or on their website?

Basically, Galaxy Tab is hitting all major US carriers, wifi only version in the works. No news about phones at all.

That's too bad. Tab's and another mobile devices are worthless without 3g. You're basically left with a machine that you can only use to it's fullest potential at a Starbucks or at home.
I'm officially starting to get worried about the froyo update. Samsung has had two major press events in the past two weeks and haven't even mentioned a word about froyo. I'm starting to think only the European/Korean models will get froyo.
^^I believe Samsung never promised the US phones to have Froyo in sept, just the different forums members did. The Euro Galaxy S is scheduled to get Froyo, NO ONE said the US versions will be getting it in September

Dude, Samsung and TMO have both said that we're getting Froyo... chill the hell out.
Why did you guys think this press release would be about their phones? Of course, you were probably thinking they would mention it somewhere in the press, but in actuality it was mostly about their Tab.
Go to this link: http://phandroid.com/2010/08/31/samsung-mobile-experience-event-september-16th-whats-being-shown/
And read what it said. "Latest Android device and media hub."
Just saying. That's all.

ALRIGHT. i think its time that we start a petition, or something towards Samsung giving additional information on 2.2 for their galaxy s phones. They think people dont care but we do!!!
Coming from HTC phones, developer phones, etc they are very responsive with what the community is asking. Samsung...not

Couldn't we just tether our phone and the tab? With mobile ap or any other tethering app? I would think if it doesn't work that way there would be an app or hack that could make it possible...

You know that they will not ALL be wifi only, right? There will be a 3G version for all of the big 4.

Yes, I am aware of that. I was giving a solution to the person I quoted. Not to mention that engadget is reporting that the 3g versions will most likely be sold on contract, possibly meaning you may need a data plan. I'm suggesting (if it is possible), wait, let the reviews from actual 3g users come in, and then by the wifi tab cheaper and off contract...
According to a friend of mine (works for Sprint), he says some people have downloaded 2.3 on their phones. They showed him, i have searched everywhere and find no information on the 2.3 release.. Was he mistaken?

I have a friend that works for Sprint. He said that the 2.3 update will be installed exclusively by your local rub and tug and it will include a complimentary happy ending. I can't wait!
As a retention supervisor I can officially say that training has taken place for 2.3 on our Evo's, no release date though... Then of course I realized I had just clicked on an engadget link while I was at work

What kind of details can you share about 2.3? So far Google has been nothing but a tease.
Your statement seems to confirm that EVO's will all receive 2.3? That is good news.

http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/products/2010/11/17/work-ongoing-on-pinch-zoom-for-xperia-x10/
Apparently the hardware did support for more than one touch..
I just want to expose this great news more. For I believe not everyone follow every thread in this forum.
You're freely comment to this thread or follow the MT thread from now.
read it a couple of minutes ago, Great news!
We are already discussing this in the MT thread and the custom rom thread.
Awesome news. Never say never I guess. Froyo anyone?

Did you watch the video? He never stated it was a software problem, it's a hardware problem. The behavior of the multitouch chip seems to work awfully if you cross axises.

They said the hardware is not capable and then they also said they screen is not capable.. and now they say it is possible..
Lies.. covered by lies mixed with lies that are full of lies.
Will i ever buy any SE product again? no..
I used to love Sony's work.. but the X10 has pissed me off till death.
Mainly my service provider also lied to me when i bought the phone.
When i went back to return it, i asked.. "why did you say the phone has multi touch?" where by she replied "whats multi touch?"
They would not let me return it!!
So let this be a lesson to all.
If a new phone arrives on the market..
1.wait 1 month.
2.see what ppl have to say about it first.
3.make sure what was said is true.
4.buy handset.
Now oddly just a few seconds ago.. after hearing mt will be enabled for the x10...
I heard a loud crash and found the my table fell over and the phone is now destroyed as it will not boot... life is so ironic.
