Yay! .......
That's funny that they point that out. Did anyone receive the free update that Samsung Doesn't Charge Carriers?

Let's look. Hmmm. Nope.
The only way they might be able to make it up to most of us is by going straight to Gingerbread or by offering every Vibrant 3g owner a more than 1/2 percent discount on the new Vibrant 4g with the return of the current Vibrant 3g.
My biggest issue with Samsung is the lack of being straight forward/direct with us. Every question they've been asked about the update or rumors about our Vibrant being able to utilize 4g speeds Samsung won't even say yes or even deny it. It definitely makes me wonder. Its sad cause they definitely make great hardware (minus the gps issue). They probably hesitant on releasing Froyo 2.2 because the release of Froyo will prove that the gps issue is hardware based.

Btw samsung don't make promises it will look bad if you don't keep ur promises you know...like the promise you made months ago? About froyo update? I guess soon means 6months to you, sammy.

just want to let you guys know my cousin and i went in to a t mobile store to speak to a rep about the vibrant 4g. we wanted to know if it would be worth exchanging our old vibrant for the new ones. he stated that there is not a lot of hard ward difference was just the FFC and that's it. the software change only being froyo. he said if it were him he wouldn't switch. He also said the official update for froyo was actually released through kies about 10 days ago. i wasn't aware of this just though i would share.

The differences b/w the two include:
4G radio in SGS 4G
16GB internal SD card on the Vibrant
FFC on SGS 4G
2.2.1 on SGS 4G from the get go
SGS 4G comes with Inception movie as a multimedia feature on included 16GB external SD card.
Also nfc, right?

Anyone received this update in US tmobile vibrant?
http://androinica.com/2011/01/18/an...-galaxy-s-now-rolling-out-via-kies/#idc-cover
Does this update wipe phone data and do we have to re-root?
Thanks.
That is for the i9000.

My Vibrant had the red and blue arrows but gave me an error when I clicked on the notification.

That article is from Jan 18, 2011 and I don't think its for the US vibrant the US galaxy s owners really get the $hit end of the stick when it comes to anything its like they forgot all about us But check the Dev forum theres some good 2.2 roms out.
I just received the option to update today. I live in California.
Im rooted, running bionix, overclocked..etc..etc..
The update is over kies mini only for tmobile for 2.2. I been getting dm disconnect and dunno what that's all about but update isn't OTA so doubt it has to do with that tho.
Sent from my Samsung Vibrant using XDA App
There is definitely some kind of update being pushed out OTA. My phone is updating now.
The KA6 they sent us is most likely a Beta Update (Performance regressed compared to JI6), so I wouldn't be surprised if they were working on another (really official OTA) update.
I don't even think all the US Galaxy S variants have FroYo yet... Aren't T-Mobile still the only ones? I think it was because the #NeverAgain campaign was composed primarily of Vibrant users (following the Vibrant 4G announcement).
They threw us a bone.
There is a new 2.1 OTA also! Not sure if this is what you got!
Rockin that Bionix V 1.2.1 w/ Androdena V5.1
Does anyone know when the Bell Galaxys are going to get the update. I looked everywhere for any info on the date, but couldn't find anything...
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
This month?
I heard by the end of the month but don't get your hopes up to high. Were talking about Bell here.
Just go custom rom. I've been running gingerbread on bell for the past two months.
I kind of don't want to send my phone 3rd time for a repair... I've heard that a 'Bell-friendly' bootloader prevents the sd from corrupting. That's why I stick to kc1...

Although that's been widely speculated, I don't think there's any proof of that.
More likely the failures were due to bad hardware manufactured before December 2010. But no one knows for sure.
No problem with the Gingerbread bootloader for me after a month.

I have a Bell Vibrant I got on release day in August. Manufacture date is 07/10 and I have flashed it numerous times with very few issues. I have Darky 10.1 right now and all is well. Just luck of the draw I guess.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
I had a few of them die on me, it was the original secondary boot loader that was causing the issue. I've had no problems since then. I'm running Darky's 10.1 on my phone the last week and it's been pretty good. There are a few very minor bugs compared to 9.5 but generally it's very smooth.
Oh and BTW, I've flashed at least 5 bell phones with darky's 9.x and had them running for months without dying.
Ok, last question - does superoneclick root jvo? Root is a must for me, but I don't wanna flash rooted kernel (I've got trust issues, I know )...

No ****, got mine at Best Buy too. Maybe they got all the non defective ones. I used the $75 gift card for a 16GB micro sd.
To be fair though, I didn't flash mine until after bootloader update, all the corrupt sd's I read about on here scared the piss out of me.

I am running JVO now with Chainfire's CF Root but checked last night using my fiance's phone and noticed that there was a Kies update dated 28-05-2011; so, keep your fingers crossed that a new firmware version will be release really soon!
if that is Ginger for you guys can you post the modem file?
Sorry for the confusion but it was only Kies that got the update; so, no Gingerbread for I9000M as yet...
Ok I am gonna state this once and only once. I have cleaned up the thread and will be looking into past posts as well. This type of talk will not be tolerated on XDA. If you feel the need to insult each other and Calling people names, well maybe you should find somewhere else to do it. I am gonna give a warning here as normally I would just you on a vaca. Take this as my only warning. Swearing and insults will not be tolerated
Thanx, Zelendel,
I know I overreacted. But I just couldn't leave the guy's insult without an answer. The guy is a bully and bullies understand only one language.
If you read his old posts, you'll get what I mean!

So, back to the actual topic, has anyone any new info on when this will be released? I've talked to a couple Bell employees, One of which had no idea, while the other said it was out already (probably thought KC1 was 2.3). Anyway, any news?
Based on previous updates very late, why not use a custom rom and kernel now, why wait?

We got 2.2 about a month to a month and a half after the initial release in the Nordic Regions. I suspect the same with this one. So around mid-June to early July but it's a guess.
If by 'Bell employee' you mean the retail shop employees, they have no idea... I asked a couple of them back in November about the froyo update and each told a different story.
I am affraid that this time we'll get the update very late. I think they will try to make 100% sure not to get into the 'december crisis' again.

Are we gettin an update for gingerbread 2.3 tru samsung kies? i read that sgs gt-i9000 got the update already.... Is that the official? are we gonna get that to for our sgs vibrant... Thanks....
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
I was wondering the same thing!
I9000 was the 1st SGS and is also unhindered by carriers restrictions.
The us will get 2.3 on the us galaxy s phones when the carriers decide they want to release it.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Ask yourself: Knowing Samsung, would you really want download the stock version of 2.3 thru Kies or wait for one of our awesome devs. to get a hold of it and make it better (I'm counting on you Team Whiskey). I rather wait since I'm running flawless BionixV1.3.1 I'm in no hurry.
Bionix 1.3.1 is awesome lol
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Oh I got it... So our carriers will make the last decision if were gettin the official update.im thinking tmobile wont give us the update. Cause nobody will upgrade there phone if our vibrant will get gingerbread and tmobile wont get any contract renew from all thier virant customers. Cause,im now upgrading to any new ginger phone that they have I git official update...
