I just read as I googled "Sprint 2.1 update" I get all kinds of, Sprint releases Moment update 2.1, I thought we were getting the "official bits" first?
Why is it I always pick the phone that takes forever to get anything done on, lol...
Thank God for XDA!
I think you need to re-read your google links, as it was a leak.
Something that we've had a few times now for the 2.1 roms...

i know im so using those =P
and on topic, the moment will probably get the update i think first, its plain android and its much easier to port android 2.1 1:1 like that.
Im aware this is the HTC Hero thread, and I dont care about the moment, other than that fact that it seemed, and Im correcting myself I did not see anything that was officially stating that it was official, I was mearly stating that everything I saw, was saying that Hero would get the bits first, then moment,.
Im sorry if I posted this in the wrong place, but Im a hero user, and it urked me.

That wasn't to you specifically.. Just a joke about the forum.. Don't worry about it.. You can post whatever you want, this place is for you to learn...
All I can say is that it's about damn time. I've been loving 2.1 on my hero for the last couple weeks while my wife's moment has been crying itself to sleep. Looks like they've already rooted it over at SDX, so I'm gonna probably flash that whenever I get home from work.
Of course, what would be *really* nice is if Sprint put out something official for a change.

Has sprint ever officially done anything
This is crazy...
Just for you narrow-minded people...
Just because it is not "officially" released on your schedule, doesn't mean anything negative to a company...
Just look at Verizon and the Storm 1.. People kept hounding and hounding Verizon for updates for the phone, but when the update wasn't what they expected, go crazy that they should have done better QA...
It is Sprint's responsibility to make sure all issues are addressed and taken care of... Do you have any idea how many thousands of issues are brought in the testing phase???
Do you know how hard it would be to guarantee a million phones for retail, from a single demo(test) device??
Have a just a tiny bit of understanding and stop complaining....

Narrow minded? Is that would you consider Microsoft? They release software that has no business being in the market place, only to patch it every tuesday when admins like me all over the world find bugs and exploits, and errors and problems. Just release the damn thing, and do incrementals as needed. Take the M$ route and get us what we want!

I would take that with a grain of salt, if I had a dime for every article I saw that had a date in it, I'd have enough money to buy Google and get 2.1
It'll be out whenever Sprint is ready. It doesn't help that they are dragging their feet, most likely for their proprietary apps. I'm not holding my breath.

http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/GalaxySFroyo
Help make a point! Please tweet, and spread the word...
We need JIT, and the other Froyo goodness......
With the iPhone 4 and the new Droid 2, and the EVO , you would think they want to compete....
Give it a rest. Samsung promised Froyo at the Galaxy S release, they have tweeted about it recently. It is an EXTREME MINORITY of people that even know what version of the software they have, let alone care about an update so this is simply pointless. So far, things point to something happening within a month, so relax, enjoy the phone you bought for what it was, hopefully we will get an OTA of the GPS/Lag fix in the next two weeks.
while i like your effort, I hate to say that this won't make froyo come any faster, samsung will roll out froyo if and when they feel like it, which if your a skeptic like me means possibly never, and this certainly won't make ANY of the devs work harder, their already working their butts off trying to figure this out. but i'll sign the petition lol.
samsung doesnt care about stupid petitions, or a couple of mongoloids asking for updates. as mentioned before me, its only a handful of us who actually know what needs to be fixed on the phone and want the latest software/firmware, most of the consumers can care less.
i've gone trough this with many htc phones where we would petition, email customer care, tech, sprint, htc their attorneys, everyone asking for our kernel source to comply with the GPL or whatever, didnt work.
2 reminders...
Beyond and Moment.
Kind Regards
It
Is
Coming
Brb making a petition so people stop asking when is Froyo coming or hoping Froyo is coming out sooner. Let Samsung stablize Froyo for the mainstream, would rather have a perfect release (or near perfect release) than a rushed release that ends up causing problems.

I have a feeling with the amount of drooling people in here are doing over Froyo, it will be a huge disappointment ala not living up to the hype.
Aside from JIT and some under-the-hood/visual enhancements, there's nothing to get really excited about. We are getting a maintenance update (supposedly) next week that is said to fix the GPS, compass, lag, and add some new features. That to me is worth more than Froyo.
We need Froyo... duh!
What we don't need is another "we need/we want/where is froyo/froyo might be coming/possible froyo leak" thread or petition that will get us nowhere. It'll come out when it comes out.
Just wait until the end of the month. If anyone been following the rumors, samsung said froyo update will be out by end of september.
Plus, I see this patch as a good thing for the people that uses there gps a lot. It will hold then over until froyo.

I couldn't put together a better list If I tried bravo
so when are we getting ginerbread? I heard the htc g3 is going to have it by jan and I can't believe Samsung doesn't make this a top priority!!
do I sound like every other impatient noob here now?
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...
they'll give us froyo when people stop asking every 5 minutes.
So never.

Ok back to what the thread is SUPPOSED to be about. Do I think we will get it? Nope, not while Galaxy Ss are still selling like hot cakes.
http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/06/samsung-galaxy-s-sales-surpass-five-million-world-domination-pl/
They have sold more than 5 million already and 2 million of that was in the US alone. Samsung is making money with the product as is so why throw a lot of money at development for a phone they have already sold?

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.

They did give us a time frame on a update announcement..if they dont come through with even that they will catch flak..
Here's an idea, how about we make one thread with ALL rumors of OFFICIAL OTA TO EVERYONE NOT JUST TESTERS, etc.... so that we only have one place to get our hopes up. Deal is you have to say rumor, unless its clearly stating upgrade to 2.2/2.3, from a first party source, Sammy, sprint, or google. And if its a sprint employee rumor please clarify that that I the case, as I've seen they are either totally right, or totally misinformed for sales purposes. No ill will, just clarify your source, and exactly what the supporting evidence is.
Cheers!

lol so many of their articles cite xda-developers as the source.
Yah I thought you were 'encouraged' to donate when you made profit off open source work... which is what this really is... aside from flame wars every complaint about roms etc. Is development... maybe they do donate, but I would hope google as well as these sites donate to the cooks too... amazing what they do in a day compared to salaried workers.
Personally I feel that the 2.3 hopes are crap as of right now. Why do you ask? Well seeing that the Epic does not have an official 2.2 or a stable(bugs fixed) developed version of 2.2, 2.3 will not be working for a good amount of time. Don't get me wrong the developed roms are good so far, but there is room for improvement. Words to live by "live in the present rather then concentrating on the future"
seeing as there arent any good 2.3 rumor threads out, im hijacking this one. Apparently 2.3 is due on june 20th, according to most people in the web. However, today we were told that we might get an update today? what are your thoughts on this? wdm had a pretty good time frame for the 6/20 release date theory so for now that seems to be the most viable option.
thoughts?
Its not true the guy was trying too get people fired up
i heard from a sprint guy who heard from a nextel guy who heard from a samsung guy who heard from htc that samsung will license the open sourced sense 3.0 for the all Galaxy S phones including the epic 4g.

Thanks for being real. I feel the same way bro. I feel your pain. But I am not surprised. Maybe some of the guys can ask Lonny Claus for his version of gingerbread. I am on the naughty list so I won't be getting gingerbread but others who are on the nice list can or maybe we can wait for the Lonny Bunny but our best chance is to ask the Great Lonny next Halloween for gingerbread by that time we will have an official gingerbread while everybody else will be on Jellybean.

Thanks Steve. I didn't know that was the case. I thought several users here had access to it.
I am so disgusted with SamSprint it is disgusting. The worst part yet is that I feel that I have no options. I like Samsung technology (specifically the large AMOLED screen in combination with the physical QWERTY), but with attitude that Samsung and Sprint have in releasing software updates (the attitude of I got your money already), it is REALLY discouraging. I wish we had other options because I would GTFO of this phone QUICK and never buy another Samsung phone again.
ALSO, all of this in combination with Samsung and Sprint's complete lack of communication on the matter. No status updates, confirmations, NOTHING. SOOOOOOOOOO tired of this business model, and nothing on the horizon that looks better.
The Galaxy S is an awesome phone no matter which variant you have. Yes we don't get the up dates as quick as we should, I put it on the carriers(refer to the I9000 section on samfirmware and you'll see what I mean). If they'd let some members of xda do their updates they'd be a lot stablier and out faster.

It is pretty clear from all of the posts that I have read, that getting GB from his phone is nothing short of a lost cause.
That said, we shouldn't need to do this kind of reverse engineering crap to get the software off his phone to get it to the people that want it.

Care to take your childish, complaining somewhere else? Try any android blog, or the sprint forums. This thread, and all of these supportive attitudes are asinine.

I am sorry that you think it is ok for companies (Sprint/Samsung) to treat THEIR CUSTOMERS this way. You know, the same customers who pay the salaries of the employees of their respective companies???
I am also sorry that you don't find this ridiculous delay, and this non-communication as acceptable, and as something that doesn't warrant complaining.
Instead, you chose to complain about my post. Good use of your time. It is YOUR passive attitude which is what allows these exact delays to occur. GOOD JOB!
BACK ON TOPIC:
I guess it wasn't in the playbook this week?
Dude, for real? Grow up. We've gone this long without official GB, it's not like the phone is unusable without it.

And that makes it ok!!!!
I simply don't understand how so many people think it is OK for a consumer to be treated this way by the company they are supporting. This is NOT OK. Instead of being passive about the entire situation, why not be more vocal???
Funny thing is, if you pacifists would actually read what I post, you would see that I am not even necessarily asking for GB tomorrow. I would be thrilled just to get some communication from these companies. Stop keeping the PAYING CUSTOMERS in the dark. Let us know what is going on.
If more people spoke up, maybe these companies would change their tune a little, but nooooooooooo, people are ok with not getting updates in a timely fashion, with no communication from the companies that will ultimately provide said update.
Unless GB is gonna make my phone physically do my job for me I don't see it as that big of a deal. The devs have made this phone kick ass but in essence its just a phone that's fun to mod. I just don't get all the anger. Besides that I'm running eh17 with one of the new kernels from source and it is running great. (Although it still doesn't do my job for me)

Your complaing in a development fourm isn't going to do anything for you if your upset that sprint/samsung does not give you timely updates to your phone. Try complaining in the sprint/samsung fourms, it might help your cause a litttle more.

I have personally written to both companies (actual paper and stamp). I am just one person. If more and more people did it (even just demanded communication), things would change.

I had to lol at the job still not being done for you. Now there's a real challenge for the devs.

Spoke up to WHO? XDA Developers forum?
And no one is keeping anyone in the dark. We weren't guaranteed ANYTHING. We have been getting leaks (read: unofficial builds), and that's it. Nothing has been announced. We'll get it when we get it. Were we even TOLD we were getting Gingerbread by both Sprint and Samsung? I don't think so. We are all speculating release dates, 2.3.x builds, playbook leaks, etc.
