Confirmation **Fascinate Update Around the 10th, OTA** - Fascinate General

Just spoke to Samsung Rep and was told we will get an update next week around the 10th and IT WILL BE FROYO. It will also be Over the Air (OTA) not Samsung Kies.
Here is the exact transcript:
Visitor: I heard there will be one on the 10th
Visitor: Is that true?
Sylvester: Yes, there will be an update, but we can not speculate the exact estimated time of arrival as this would to inaccurate information and confusion.
Sylvester: However you will get a notification on to your device as it is an over the air update.
Visitor: What will the update bring?
Sylvester: It will come with more features for the phone.
Visitor: Such as? FroYo?
Sylvester: Yes, it will be Froyo.
Visitor: Will I get the update this week or next week?
Sylvester: It should be available in the next week.

sweet, if true. Been waiting to root for this to come first.

Well. That's a relief. But only those on DI01 on the stock ROM are getting it...
Plus you will probably lose root.
In other words, if you like being unrooted, wait for a dev to repackage it.

this is confirmation of nothing....how many people have heard from this person and that person about dates....while it d be nice to be wrong on this....i think anyone with half a brain realizes it wont be froyo but dl09 or something comparable

thats just a regurgitation of the android central article that says an update is coming and its listed as mr2...which has been first dj05 then dl09 now something comparable

I've seen so many of these threads across the message boards. So many confirmed dates have come and gone.
Move along.. nothing to see here

Ill believe it when i see it because on andriod central they had a screenshot of the VZW and it said 1/10/11 Samsung Fascinate MR2 meaning maintenance release 2 aka DL09 or DJ05
who cares anyway we have both of those MR already and birdman and Jt are compiling GB

EDIT: I now have to retract this sarcasm because I also had it (supposedly) confirmed. We'll just have to wait and see.

Can someone tell me why a MR has to be DJ05/DL09 and can't be Froyo? VZW has released MR updates for windows mobile devices to take them from WM6.1 to WM6.5 or similar jumps in the WM world, and they were classified as a maintenance release. Why can't Froyo be a MR update as well? Do I think the update will be Froyo, no, but I don't see why a MR can't be Froyo.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I totally agree, Verizon labels ALL of there updates "MR."

*could* it be froyo? sure why not....chances of that? ridiculously small.
i think that everything we've seen has said mr2 was dj05...then it was dl09....it would stand to reason that something similar was still coming out
but who knows
i think it would be better for all of us if these speculation and "inside" information threads were stopped though

I thought i had froyo on my phone since i bought it and i was getting gingerbread on it......

I got on Samsung's website to chat with a rep just for ****s and giggles. Surprisingly, he also confirmed the update is Froyo. Here is our conversation ....
John: Hi, thank you for contacting Samsung Technical Support. How may I help you today?
Visitor: There is alot of buzz going around about an update for VZW Fascinate
Visitor: Will it be Froyo?
John: I understand that you want to know if Froyo be available for your phone, am I correct?
Visitor: I know you can't speculate, so I wanted to know if you had any concrete info
John: Yes, it is the Froyo update and it will fix all the issues.
John: This should become available in the next few days.
Visitor: Gotcha. You guys are definately confirming it is Froyo .... no speculation.
John: Yes.
Visitor: Thank you.

I think where there is smoke there is fire. There has been so much going on lately from the false 2.2 webpage update and kies update, to the leaked update information and now the reps actually confirming dates. Leads me to believe there is a good chance it will be froyo.

I'm not confident in verizon's ability to keep a froyo leak from slipping out so I wouldn't hold my breath.

Two reps have now been asked look at the first post and the post before yours. Two different reps. We are for sure getting FroYo. The reps used to say we can not speculate but now they are giving us an exact date. I am sure that Samsung does not want to screw this up again.

"These are not the Droids you're looking for"...

Better question is whether it changes anything for the DEVs. Does it make it easier to develop Froyo/Gingerbread?

Really........i don't care much anymore I'm already running 2.2 actually I wish it was already out so I could stop hearing about it but then it will just become about 2.3

please create an Update Status section and move all these threads over there.
Does it really matter? we have had froyo for quite awhile now and I am sure the custom roms we have available are better than the bloatware infested stock that we would get from any official release. I couldn't care less if sammy ever releases froyo at this point.
apparently we're getting the real deal today, nov 30th, and if not, tomarrow via kies. T-Mobile: Samsung Galaxy S getting FroYo
Froyo has already been around for the Vibrant, what is needed is the 2.2 kernel source so the devs can optimize that and work out the small bugs like the 3.5mm jack for phone calls in Froyo...

DUDE use the ****ing search or google or something and wise your ass up, these threads are getting stupid as hell opening every single day. IF you want froyo then FLASH IT, why do you think the stock one will be that good? it will have lag from the RFS system, no root, chances are the ones that are out now are just as good as sammys or better, and will only improve when the real one comes out.
t-Mobile UK already delayed the Release of Froyo to it's customers. No reason given, but It was supposed to be released via Kies yesterday and no one go it. So a few sources are saying it is/will be delayed yet again.
Samsung told me the other day on Twitter that, "it's coming soon" that same BS, and they actually told me they were "abandoning" the Galaxy S phones (after I said they were...). Then I asked about if we would actually really see it before the end of December and they assured me we would.
I call BS on anything they say anymore about updates, we won't see 2.2 (OFFICIALLY) from T-Mobile or Samsung by the end of this year.

Update on FroYo

The question was posed on an internal forum system at Big Red:
"Any further updates as to when we will be releasing Froyo 2.2 for the Fascinate??"
To which the moderator responded: "Currently preparing to release MR2 (fixes only), FROYO will follow (early next year). The load is too large to put FROYO 2.2 into MR2."
I do not know what build MR2 is, but Big Red simply refers to builds as MRx, where x = the number of builds (read: times) they've updated. So the jump from DH12 to DI01 is considered MR1, this would be MR2. I however assume its DJ05 or even a newer build which has DJ05 and bug fixes that came from that, but we'll have to wait and see.
That being said, the moderator who responded is a VERY technical person and RELAYS actual device issues to all the OEMS on a daily basis. I would take his statements as fact, hes in charge of the internal forums for ALL phones, company wide, its about the most official, strictly technical, non marketing garbage answer you're going to get. Its his job to know this stuff....
Again, where I got it, 'tis none of your concern. I'm just copying and pasting, you do and think as you please.
I can wait till next year.
Rockin' DJ05, Minimal Icognito, Clocked at 1.3Ghz
I'm pretty sure it's already been confirmed that DJ05 has been canned and they've moved on to a newer 2.1 build.
Yeah, we knew all of this about a week ago in IRC. However, folks who don't go there don't, so its good that mexiken posted this.

This to me is absolutely ludacris..
"Froyo is going to be available shortly after the release.." 6 months later we still are waiting..
"DJ05 is almost ready for release, just a few weeks away.." 2 months later we are still waiting for this... and now its scrapped? Is it really that difficult for Samsung to release a freaking update to fix our phones?
Granted I am running DJ05 (thanks to everyone here!), but for people who don't run the risk of rooting their phones etc.. its absolute BS! So annoying!

Allow me to cue you in as to why that will not happen.
1. Samsung doesn't want to get sued for all the nonworking docks with jacks out there.
2. Verizon doesn't want to get sued by Samsung if they decide to axe the update, for the same reason.
Samsung should just start "leaking" all these updates so the mod community could test and help them weed out the bugs quicker.
Then agian, that might be what happened with DJ05.

I think all of us here would agree that the dev community is much more responsive and capable than any oem has been. New business model, maybe?
Update: Has anyone seen that the Intercept froyo update is rolling out? Is it just something with the sgs that's preventing updates? It's not just cdma & vzw because the other sgs forums are full of people just as frustrated as we are.

2 things...
First of all, as I understand it, one of the problems with us not being abel to go to FroYo is the file system and its structure and just the underlying layout of the phone in general. If this is the case, how can they possibly fix that over the air, with an update, that doesn't require a complete reboot of the phone (meaning starting over from scratch)? As I understand it, we are hoping the file system changes to something more stable, but will this be possible through an over the air update? That seems really tough and prone to many issues. Maybe I am wrong or simply just don't understand.
Also, I bought this phone because we were promised 2.2 and I am wondering, with it consistently pushed back, at what point can Fascinate users consider a class action law suit for unfulfilled promises? If I had known I was going to be stuck on 2.1 this long, I honestly would have bought an Incredible. At some point they need to be held accountable.
Wow some people seem so upset today. Well I guess you learned your lesson research where you buy your phone from. From what ive read and herd Samsung is notorius for sloppy support. A watched pot never boils. How bout people just live life n have some fun phones arrent everything. Smile did i mention that im drunk at the moment.
Drunk and misled.
Verizon is holding this up by requesting 2.1 bull****.

I don't think Verizon has said anything specifically about the update coming out. Additionally, it was a leaked screenshot on some blog that led the blogger question if the scheduled update was Froyo or not - again nothing definitive.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
No more screenshots from Bloggers!!! Too much vested interest in posting that stuff, even if it ends up being crap. Besides, even if the notorious 26th 'top secret info' WERE true, it just goes to show that the carriers will change their minds at the last minute, regardless. Not sure its a bad thing... I would like to see the official be stable...
I just want to see the official.
IDK, i tend to believe a list of phones with dates next to them more than some update guide that simply says "effective date" and everyone assumes that means release date.
Yeah the 26th date was for real at one point......

[Q] Shipping with 2.3????

I just took a look at Sprint's website and they now have EVO's shipping with 2.3, does this mean that we will be able to use the kernel that was used for those models to help out with developing roms with 2.3? Sorry if this was in the wrong place or if this information was known and not helpful.
provide a link & yes this is the wrong section.
http://shop.sprint.com/mysprint/sho...0138&flow=AAL&planSKUId=&ptn=&tabId=dt_phones
it does say...
"Operating system
Ships with Android 2.3"
So theres an official 2.3 version of android for the Evo,just not for those of us who have already purchased our Evo's? How does that work?

i have been in contact with HTC about the Gingerbread update and a new version of Sense.... here is what i have gotten so far from the HTC rep......
here was his first reply "I understand that you need to know when the update to the EVO 4G will be available. At this time, a release date has not been announced yet for any of our updates to 2.3. We also don't have any information as to whether the EVO 4G will receive an updated version of Sense, either. For the latest news, please keep an eye on www.htc.com/us and www.twitter.com/htc."
then he sent this "I apologize, I realized that in my previous email my wording didn't confirm that the Evo will be receiving an update to Android 2.3. This follow up is just to confirm that it is a when, not an if; it has been confirmed that the device will be receiving an update."
then i pushed him a little harder for more info and he replied with this "Thank you for your response. As stated in my first email, we don't at this point in time have a release timeframe for Android 2.3 for the EVO (or any of our devices). We want to get the updates out as soon as possible, but will not do so until we have thoroughly tested them and they are approved as ready by both ourselves and Sprint. In regards to an update to the Sense UI, this is completely independent of the ROM version. There's been no word on if the EVO will receive an updated version of Sense or even if Sprint has shown an interest in having it put on the phone. Thus for the latest news, please keep an eye on www.htc.com/us and www.twitter.com/htc."
then he sent this (kind of randomly i dont know why, and ENDED the conversation) "Thank you again for your reply. I'm concerned that only the notification that you have a response is getting to you but not the message itself. In your last two emails you have inquired as to when the Evo will be updated to 2.3 and if it is going to receive an update to the Sense UI. However, I did supply the only available response to that inquiry (thus my concern that the messages are not making it to your inbox for whatever reason). We don't at this point in time have a release timeframe for Android 2.3 for the EVO (or any of our devices). We want to get the updates out as soon as possible, but will not do so until we have thoroughly tested them and they are approved as ready by both ourselves and Sprint.

Funny . . you visit the HTC site and look at tech specs for Evo and it says Android Gingerbread for OS. . .
EDIT: Sorry, looked at Sensation specs thinking it was Evo . .
Yeah that was the first place I checked after seeing it shipping with 2.3 on Sprint's website. You'd think they would communicate, at least a little
wow this is weird. Sprint has updated info to soon b4, but to have both sprint and htc update info to soon is to much of a coincidence. So i'm thinking the ota should be hitting in the next couple of days
EDIT: ok looked all over the HTC site and see nothing saying android 2.3/gingerbread. So where are u guys seeing 2.3 on htc.com?
I did however see that at htc.com it says the EVO has OS 2.1 and at shopamerica.htc.com it says 2.2

News on Ginger Bread coming soon

I received a tweet from GalaxySSupport about GB.
@johnnyplaid You have a Fascinate right John? We hope to have some news for you soon! ^Scot
I hope their idea of "soon" is similar to mine. Doubt it though. The EC09 leak seemed pretty stable except for SD card issues. Maybe it is close.

True but you don't usually hear that from GalaxySSupport though. They usually say they can't speculate or don't have that information. When they finally started talking about Froyo, it was a week or 2 before it was released.

Froyo vs GB, what's different and new? From using the ASOP GB, I don't see anything difference from usage
I don't think its really the update that matters its the source code. Gingerbread source code = alot more functionality in all GB roms. Correct me if I'm wrong?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
If we get an official GB update then JT will likely be able to pull a lot of things from it to fix our issues on VGB/CM7/MIUI such as sensors, call audio, torch, ect... anything that doesn't work right or has issues, if it is fixed in an official release, can probably be fixed from the official release.
Problem is, anybody that has been around with this phone for a while is not even pretending to get their hopes up for an official release. If it ever comes (which is doubtful) then it likely won't be any time soon. Not saying there is no chance, but we willl all be pleasantly surprised if Samsung and Verizon actually released something when they said they would.
I've had this phone since the day it came out. I've followed the promises & rumors, most of which have been rumors that are spread as fact, quickly.
From what I've seen, whenever Samsung has talked about an update, it's because they've finished it and given it to Verizon for testing. Usually around the same time, someone on here or another site gets a leaked version (makes you wonder if they're leaked intentionally and we're used as beta testers). From what I understand, and I could be wrong, Froyo was rejected by Verizon a few times, delaying the update. I don't know if it was a problem with the software itself or the update package, or both. We all knew Froyo was coming because we already had earlier versions, I ran EB01 for quite awhile before ED01.
I don't have any reason to doubt we're getting GB. We've already seen a leaked version, EC09. I tried it and lost an SD card so I see why it wasn't "officially" released.
I could be wrong, but from past experience, if SamsungSSupport is saying they hope to have some news soon, I interpret it as they have given another GB version to Verizon that they hope to be or has been approved by Verizon. After the missed call issues, I expect Verizon to test a little more thorough this time.

I've had this phone since the day it came out. I've followed the promises & rumors, most of which have been rumors that are spread as fact, quickly.
From what I've seen, whenever Samsung has talked about an update, it's because they've finished it and given it to Verizon for testing. Usually around the same time, someone on here or another site gets a leaked version (makes you wonder if they're leaked intentionally and we're used as beta testers). From what I understand, and I could be wrong, Froyo was rejected by Verizon a few times, delaying the update. I don't know if it was a problem with the software itself or the update package, or both. We all knew Froyo was coming because we already had earlier versions, I ran EB01 for quite awhile before ED01.
I don't have any reason to doubt we're getting GB. We've already seen a leaked version, EC09. I tried it and lost an SD card so I see why it wasn't "officially" released.
I could be wrong, but from past experience, if SamsungSSupport is saying they hope to have some news soon, I interpret it as they have given another GB version to Verizon that they hope to be or has been approved by Verizon. After the missed call issues, I expect Verizon to test a little more thorough this time.

Verizon rejected it because Samsung, the greedy jerks they are, wanted verizon to pay them a bunch of money for the "r&d" done to screw it up with touchwiz... if I remember right samsung was asking for way more than any other carriers usually do for updates and so verizon said no.

I heard that rumor too. If I recall, Samsung and Verizon both denied it.
Final version of Froyo was not the leaked ones.

This was rumor and debunked by both parties.

Really. I must've missed that. Oh well......

After the Froyo fiasco (anyone else contact their April fool?) and working 5+ years in a corporate multi-vendor environment, I find it impossible to pick sides in such situations. These inter-company hangups can usually be resolved via a quick call between executives; consumer demand has little influence in making such things happen.

Exactly. They don't care whether or not we want gingerbread, they have other phones that might make them more money to worry about.
Well, we know they are working on it as we've already seen a leaked version. Hope they release it soon.
Whatever happened to that EH09 leak that supposedly was out?

Apparently it was for the other cdma carriers. I'm keeping an eye out for a ec09 and eh09 merge though.
