The problem with the 2.1 ROMs we have now is, even though they are spectacular, they're not 100 percent. There are some things that are broke.

Some people just don't get that even thought most of us are running a 2.1 rom - there are still issues.
My wife still has Audio issues with hers.
Not to mention we don't have legit .29 Kernel source...I have a feeling Toast may have something or just a really bastardized .27 kernel source.

Everyweek we got new news about update. And the update date is always on Friday.

I have a hard time believing they would update on a friday. Seems like it would make for a hell of a weekend for support staff...
Maybe Sprint is buying the beer, who knows.

Please delete this thread

Mods. Please delete this. The date has already passed. FroYo will come out never. Done.

the skeptic in me will remain skeptical until i see something from sprint, but thank you for the info i have some hope since t-mo has their update available, maybe sprint will be more motivated to end the bad press and user backlash... time will tell.

Maybe a dev can choime in they always seem to have to inside track

Ecocee mentioned EA16 being a release candidate earlier in the week. Lets hope that we see something soon.
Funny, once some big-name websites (pcmag, yahoo finance, etc) started calling foul-play, Samsung and the carriers can magically get their updates out...

You are right! We should have made a stink back is November! Maybe the best thing to do from now on is to always raise a super-stink the minute a company misses their "promised" date. Then things get delivered!

I agree. It seems like things are finally coming around, but something still stinks behind the scenes. At the very least my guesstimate is that the updates were a very very low priority for either Samsung, the carriers, or both.

So when do we start the *****ing about not having Gingerbread? Wednesday morning?

I don't really care much about a timeline for Gingerbread atm. I just want to be able to test my own Adobe AIR apps on my own phone. Once I can do that, I'll be happy.

I doubt.it will be this Tuesday cause every article I read says they have no clue when update will be given just that it will be soon. This sounds like the 12/26 thing again where all these people had the inside informants and it was def. Happening. Look where that went

That's why I installed dk28. Air works great, just a teeny bit of lag when you start an app.

Just for the record,I never said Tuesday,and 12/26 was deffinitly the planned release date at one point. So I wouldnt doubt sources,things dont always work out... And just because the update is not in the playbook does not mean we wont see one next week OTA... But I will say this for sure, source "Talks around the water cooler say everyone should be updated by 1/31/2011",so that tells me that roll out should start on or before 1/26/2011,so Tuesday or Wednesday... Again Im not gonna call that the date this time,because I already see the flame throwers coming out of the wood work.
Oh,and I can promise you Gingerbread is being worked on also...

LOL, OK, so now we know for sure that it won't be out by Friday. Or ever.

Do we have to play this game again? I think everybody already know the answer considering our froyo wait.
I hate "Top Flight Security Mods"

I have a friend who works in the Sprint retail store and he told me that developers at Samsung are currently working on a Gingerbread for our Epic4g. He said the latest build was ZM>9000 and that they let him test it and it was pretty awesome.

It will feel horrible because it will be a buggy mess. Let them get Froyo sorted out before they begin to use this as a buggy base of their Gingerbread build. I do believe Samsung will deliver Gingerbread, but dont even think it will be before Summer 2011. I have nothing against Samsung really. They could do better with software support though. And you will find ridiculous skepticism among people at XDA for anything positive that is "supposed" to be coming from Samsung in the future.

Thats true, well then, I guess, well just wait and see, anybody else want to share opinions?

updates!
I personally do NOT think we will ever see another update past froyo...
We might get a froyo update to fix bugs and what not but as far as 2.3 ect, they will leave the epic by the wayside and focus on the galaxy S2 series and other newer phones. The epic was just a complete failure and they know it, thats why they are come out with galaxy S2.

well idk, its a tough call...
took a long time for froyo...
but then you can look at it like "well samsung sees how the US folk are all pissed off so they might start trying to release more updates bla bla"
if the epic does get gingerbread, dont expect any update past that..because past that Samsung will expect us to do our part and buy another Samsung device.

I think personally Gingerbread will come just to rebuild some goodwill with the people of this country. Then maybe with that, we would buy the next uber Samsung phone. At least by getting Froyo, my Evo owning friend can now shut up how his Evo is soooooo much better than my Epic because it hbas Froyo (even after showing him my pics and videos look better, screen looks nicer, can play more vido formats natively) because that was the only thing he could point at. Now we're even.

If Gingerbread comes, it's not going to be for a while; otherwise, why would they have bothered releasing FroYo?

Nice.
Edit: So this is pretty interesting. The Galaxy S International is supposed to get it mid April, which is pretty soon. The fact that they are already testing builds on Sprint is a good sign.
Edit2: First post from OP whose name is Epic2.3? Did you find this out and register to post it? If so, awesome.

I wonder who he is though! Some "samsungjohn" Type guy again? Either way, thanks

lol i'm almost dissapointed! i was looking forward to the CM7 build being created from the Nexus S rom.... almost but not. go sprint/samsung! i think getting a quick GB update would make the froyo debacle much more bearable. curious though... why 2.3 and not 2.4? i thought gingerbread officially made the transition to 2.4

Also gotta tell you few brave posters out there who were optimists about GB and its shortened development window were right. Wish I could remember specifically who it was but no more than 2-3 I'd guess, and I admit I wasn't one.

Lets hope it doesnt get released in a few months.

I agree, kind of. We had leaked versions of Froyo back in early November. Froyo wasn't officially released until mid March. Thats 4 months. Obviously there were complications (z4root) that caused major delays and the porting of Gingerbread shouldn't be nearly as difficult for Samsung, but . . . . you never know. If Gingerbread is launched officially in mid August, its still a major disappointment.

They haven't done much to deserve it. The least they could do at this point is confirm it to the public, not make people sit and hope.

Given the relatively short gap between these rdfs and actual updates in the past, I actually don't expect this to come months later. Maybe overconfident of me but the differences between Froyo and GB being supposedly much less than Eclair to Froyo, I think it looks good--maybe just weeks?

I for one will not be holding my breath

Galaxy S Gingerbread OTA Rolling out in Europe???

http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/31/galaxy-s-gingerbread-update-lands-in-the-uk-better-late-than-ne/
I see this is already posted, but why is Engadget just picking this up? Is this a bigger deal now? I know we're U.S. CDMA, so does that mean this new OTA means absolutely nothing for us? Until it officially comes to the U.S. eventually? With how long the 2.2 update took I'm really nervous we'd never get an update but if they're already rolling out across Europe... anyone know anything else? I'm getting my Fascinate on Friday!!!

This isnt for us at all. We will get GB, but not for awhile (my guess is September/october)
Dont try an flash this puppy, you will be in for a world of hurt

Nothing to flash, it's an OTA update. The link is just a link to the Engadget story. And looks like GB 2.3.3 is being pushed out not 2.3.4. Don't know the difference, but I know there is a 2.3.4 out there.

Sooner or later someone will put it in flashable form so I figured I would just throw that out to save (mostly you guru's) someone the pain of "I flashed i9000 GB..." threads

Yes, they are. Still, even though Verizon will no doubt take months on end to push out gb, assuming they don't EOL this phone first, we still might get Mesmerize gb before then (like we got Mesmerize EC10 Froyo before we got ED01 from Verizon)

Another Fascinating post by my XDA app...

its so ridiculous how fast manufacturers push out new devices. yay you have the latest and greatest! and you just shat all over everyone who's had your phone for a year. wtf man. ha. i had an eris, and really don't think this phone should ever be in the same boat as that phone. never should've bought that eris, should've gone straight to the Droid 1. so does no one do GSM to CDMA conversions? They did a couple for my Eris (thank you punk.kaos) and for the Droid 1, the "Mobile Networks" option was usually the only thing not working eventually. I'm new the fascinate, actually not getting mine till tomorrow, but I'm really eager to get a truly open phone. my droid 2 was killing me bro. oh well, so long as we get gingerbread eventually. and honestly if CM7 is ready before the end of June, who needs an OTA?

lol, yeah. If you look at the calendar, it's a giant wheel.
They probably thought "Hey, instead of adding ANOTHER ring to this, why don't we just create a new calendar once 2012 rolls around?"
