Samsung Galaxy S Android 2.2 FroYo upgrade launched

Samsung Galaxy S Android 2.2 FroYo upgrade launched
Posted by Luke Johnson on Fri 5 Nov 2010
Android 2.2 update to finally hit the Samsung Galaxy S
After months of waiting owners of the formidable Samsung Galaxy S Android handset will today be able to update their devices to run the latest incarnation of the Google mobile OS, Android 2.2, FroYo.
The flagship Samsung handset became a major player in the smartphone market following its launch back in July but has remained devoid of the OS upgrade despite FroYo landing on a number of its closest competitors.

“Froyo starts rolling out today; everyone will have it by the end of Nov. To prepare, get the latest version of Kies.” announced Samsung UK via its official Twitter feed earlier today. Kies is Samsung’s proprietary upgrading solution needed to update the handset’s software.
The 4-inch mobile powerhouse will add a host of new features to its already hefty arsenal with the upgrade to Android version 2.2 including the coveted full Flash support and device tethering. Google Maps GPS navigation and voice guidance will also land on the 1GHz processor, 5-megapixel camera touting iPhone challenger.
Elsewhere in the land of Google mobile operating system, the imminent arrival of version 2.3 of the hugely popular software, dubbed Gingerbread, appears closer than ever as latest reports and rumours peg the Android update to make its way to developers in SDK form as early as next week, November 11th.
Have you got a Samsung Galaxy S that is in need of a FroYo boost? Share your thoughts on the Galaxy bound Android update with us via the T3 Twitter and Facebook feeds and stay tuned to T3.com for all the latest on the Gingerbread arrival.

Let me spare you the torrent of flaming you will get.
That does NOT apply to the US Vibrant, it is for the UK market. Yes, it means that we will eventually get it, probably by the end of the year.

There's already like 3 threads about it, plus this is not for US.

why do people keep going into threads to post complaints? Don't you know it keeps the thread alive? Or is it ok as long as you have a first 5 post flaming the OP?
All you want to be mods please go hide in whatever corner you came from. Let real mods do the work. Posting "Please lock his thread" doesn't actually lock the thread.
Also the OP NEVER said we are now getting it on our vibrants. He just posted a story...
Back to topic. Was it EVER said anywhere that the US Galaxy S series would get froyo? I know this was assumed because Samsung said the Galaxy S would get it, but I wouldn't doubt them changing their tune now.

yes and the vibrant is a variant of the galaxy s so your point is? you still didn't read the entire op and flamed just to flame.
going back to topic, that still doesn't mean we are getting it on our vibrants. see how I said it without calling someone retarded, idiot, etc? More people need to start trying to do that.

I'm not sure what happened with the exclusivity of the Android community but I swear people have become more and more abrasive and impatient within the last year.
I remember how peaceful and progressive the G1 forums were since the days of 1.1 - 2.0.

Well that's just practical, it gets really cold outside sometimes.

Isn't it a news of some interest for us Vibrant owners that UK is getting Froyo for Galaxy S? Sure it is....that is because Vibrant is a Samsung Galaxy S series phone and an official roll out in UK means Samsung has Froyo working well for Galaxy S phones at this time and it means US is going to get Froyo soon.
OP didnt say Vibrant is getting Froyo on so and so date, like a bunch of BS threads in the past.

Help me get optus to answer my question

We were promised by Optus that mid November we would get Froyo. Hit them up on @Optus on twitter or their support email. If more people start asking then we will actually get an answer.
At the rate it's going, we might well be the very last people in the world to get Froyo for our devices, even though we were some of the earliest adopters for the handset.

Keep us updated on your progress mate. I don;t have a twitter account but am in the same books as you.
I have rung them a few times but they are less then knowledgeable with a response.
Most of them you talk to don't have a clue what your talking about. ie. Firmware what?
Then try and direct you to call Samsung.
The last time I spoke to Samsung in Australia they couldn't provide any details at all.
A sad sad state of affairs to be sure.

This was posted on another forum I'm a member of (not phone related, just a Galaxy S thread). Sorry, I don't have links to back it up, so take it with a grain of salt.

News: Android 2.2 for Samsung Galaxy S is now available
16/11/2010
Owners of Samsung's Galaxy S line of phones have been patiently waiting for the Android 2.2 update that many other Android owners have had for months, and now it looks like the wait may finally be over.
Samsung has announced that later tonight, at 8:00 PM, a download will become available to SamsungMobile.com that will be compatible with all Galaxy S devices, upgrading them to Android 2.2.
The news comes after Google and Samsung have continuously been dodgy about details regarding the update for Samsung's Android-powered smartphones. To date, the only handsets to receive the upgrade have been phones manufactured by other companies. Only about a quarter of all Android users have upgraded their device to the latest OS.
Many of those who haven't upgraded simply have a phone that is too outdated to receive it. But the Galaxy S platform is one of the most technically adept on the market right now and is more than capable of running Froyo.
Exactly what has been causing the hold-up is anyone's guess, but it's been a real problem for Samsung as it tries to market the devices.
Android 2.2 brings with it features like full browser support for the latest Flash video standard, the ability to use your phone as a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot, and enhanced voice controls for all aspects of the device. It should be a welcome addition to the Galaxy S family.

This is from a US news website called TGDaily which was talking about the update but he missed the mark for sure.
It's not specifically related to OPTUS at all but a general comment stating Froyo was now available.
When you go to the Samsungmobile.com website you have to pick a region.
Australia takes you to that regions site and the Kies version here is way way old 1.5.1.10083
When you install this Kies, it will prompt you to update to the newer version.
BUT.......no Froyo.
Sad sad sad.

All of this was proven to be wrong, and was copied from a blog entry from the day before from TG Daily.
It was promptly removed from the Optus blog.

Optus made an announcement on Twitter that Samsung delivered to them around 01/11/2010 the new firmware. They had to create their optus customisation for it and intended to release it mid november. Now its the 19th and it still isn't out. I figure anyone who cares should go put a question to them @Optus or their support email until we get an answer.
I don't mind the wait as such, it's just that I want to know what they are doing. I hate "two more weeks". IF they could say we are having trouble getting the widget to work and we want that working before we release, then OK, but silence is just downright frustrating!

Why the heck do you need the Optus customisations for? It's not like you get extra wallpapers or optimisations just a bunch of useless widgets and shortcuts but whatever.

I hope official firmware from Optus is better than Nordic JPA version.
I have JPA Froyo on my optus GS via Reg hack. Wifi is ify and phone lags...
Put same app side by side on GS and iPhone, GS one is slow.
EG. Kids only want to use iPhone for Talking Tomcat because it does not miss every second word.
Sad!

I was in the same boat as you guys not long ago. Waiting for Optus to release their modified firmware, checking kies day to day. I got kinda fed up waiting, figured that the firmware is of course just going to include all the optus and samsung bloatware to slow down the phone. Not to mention relying on kies to work properly.
So in the end I just put Dark's Rom on. works fantastically really. learnt how to do it (easy guide in his thread) and actually did it in under half an hour. the actual doing it only takes like 10 minutes. I know it's not for everyone, but i'm so glad I decided to go down that route rather than rely on optus.

I don't understand why you guys have to know what's going on all the time.. Optus have stated that their release intention is "By the end of November", for quite some time now.
Knowing exactly what's going on won't get you the release any faster, it serves no purpose but to waste their time by answering the children in the back seat "Are we there yet, are we there yet, are we there yet".
We'll get there, when we get there.
Perhaps if December comes along, and it's still not release, THEN start nagging.

Or just abandon all hope and flash a rom! I mean you are on xda after all.
I was waiting with my old eclair rom but went and flashed docs rom. I only regret not doing it sooner.

Agreed, Custom firmware is guaranteed better than Optus bloatware.
Insanity, Spike Speedy v3 and Darky's v4.1 are all perfect for quick, fully optimised and bloat-free roms.

There's no point spamming them on Twitter with the SAME QUESTION over and over again 50000 times, because I highly doubt busying up the customer support team will have any impact on whatever development team is modifying the firmware for release.

Alot of custom firmware comes with the Optus APN, the one I'm using at the moment came with it.
Which is Insanity.. Very barebones but you can easily install whatever stock apk's you want via the included link he gave to them on his thread.
If you want the Optus apk's (Why on earth you would is beyond me..) I'm almost sure you could get them off optus zoo, just give Optus a call and find out if you have any troubles I guess.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9264973&postcount=1
Edit: Also the Optus APN info can easily be added to the phone manually by going to Wireless and network > mobile networks > Access Point Names > press menu button, new APN
and the information for the APN (and all other Aussy ones) is here: http://ausdroid.net/apns/

I'm not neccessarily after a date, I want a reason. If they would just let us know that they really are still working on it, they aren't stuck with a resource problem or something like that then OK. I just hate it when they leave you with no news.
And my original statement still stands that we may well be the last carrier to actually get Froyo. I want the official one because I'm going into Optus if it doesn't fix the GPS for a warranty claim.

I want to know the date so I know when I can use the phone to it's full ability as advertised!

Continuum update 2.2 is MADE, not released, help us get this update out!!!

I posted all of this in the 2.2 thread, but I feel it's enough of it's own cause to not get buried in 8 pages of a thread. I think this needs to be up where everyone can see it without looking
A recent press release from Samsung says that the Samsung Galaxy S phones are getting Gingerbread (Android 2.3) in mid-May. I'm not sure about you guys but I was excited that we could be getting 2.3 right out instead of waiting for 2.2 and then 2.3, so I decided to go to their chat support and ask about it. Here's the chat log:
ChatLog said:
Please wait for a Samsung Agent to respond.
You are now chatting with 'Catherine'. There will be a brief survey at the end of our chat to share feedback on my performance today.
Your Issue ID for this chat is LTK4380868310X
Visitor: Hello!
Catherine: Hi, thank you for contacting Samsung Technical Support. How may I help you today?
Visitor: I have a question regarding the press release saying that Android 2.3 Gingerbread will be coming oout for the Galaxy Tab and Galaxy S line of phones.
Catherine: I understand that you are looking for Android 2.3 update for your SCH-I400 Phone now.
Visitor: I was just wondering if that update talked about in the press release will cover the Samsung Continuum
Catherine: I understand your requirement,Would you mind holding for 3 minutes so that I can check that for you?
Visitor: No I would not mind
Catherine: Thank you.
Catherine: Thank you for holding.
Catherine: I see that Samsung Continuum phone have Android 2.1 OS on it as of now and Android 2.2 up has to be released for this device at this time before we can proceed with Android 2.3 update.
Catherine: As per the information available at this time, I see that your phone can be upgraded Android 2.2 update is not available for download for your Phone as of now.
Visitor: Are you ever going to release that?
Visitor: I realize it isn't available NOW... we Continuum users have been waiting for it forever...
Catherine: Yes, I see that we can upgrade your phone to Android 2.2 but the updaet is not released for your phone as of now, I'll forward a copy of this chat transcript to our product development team to proceed further from my end in this regard.
Catherine: I apologize for the inconvenience this might be causing.
Visitor: Wait, you CAN upgrade it to 2.2 but it's not released? Can I ask why not?
Catherine: I am sorry, we at live chat for Samsung support have limited to access to the information about that are not released as of now, I am not able to find any information that can help me answer why Android 2.2 update is not released as of now for your phone.
Catherine: However, I am positive we will be able to upgrade this model to Android 2.2 version when an update is released.
Catherine: Should this update become available, it shall be available on Samsung website under Samsung Download center.
Catherine: I understand your concern and requirement but we at Live chat do not have an estimated date of availability of this update for your Phone at this moment.
Visitor: I was just wondering on a possible release time for it. Like I said we've been waiting for it forever and when I bought the phone I was told it would be coming out in a matter of weeks
Catherine: I can understand how annoying that can be, I am sorry, we at Live chat didn't have any hint about the updates that are not released. We are provided only with information about the updates already released.
Visitor: Is there an email I can send something to to get any of these questions answered since the live chat supporters can't? A number I can call? Anything?
Catherine: yes, I recommend you contact Samsung Customer Care at 1-888-987-4357, Mon-Fri: 7 AM - 9 PM (CST), Sat: 9 AM - 6 PM (CST) to check if any help in this regard and to file a request for update.

There are 3 big things to this.
1) We won't get 2.3 until we get at least 2.2, so the press release does not cover the continuum.
2) They've MADE THE UPDATE TO 2.2 FOR THE CONTINUUM BUT HAVE NOT RELEASED IT. I don't know about you guys, but that is absolutely INFURIATING to me.
3) There is a way to let our voices be heard. It worked for the Fascinate users. Call them at that number in the last bold part.
Samsung Customer Care at 1-888-987-4357, Mon-Fri: 7 AM - 9 PM (CST), Sat: 9 AM - 6 PM (CST) to check if any help in this regard and to file a request for update
We ALL need to do this. All of us need to chip in and call them and file to get this update released. It's ridiculous that the update is there, they just aren't releasing it. DO NOT LET THEM FORGET THAT WE SPENT OUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON THIS PRODUCT AND THEY NEED TO SUPPORT IT. Call the line, ask about the update, tell them you're dissatisfied, angry whatever but get that report filed and let's get that update OUT!!!

Yes, the update is made but not released. That's been established before now. That means rubert the current roadblock is Verizon's testing and scheduling the OTA. At this point, there isn't much that Samsung can do. The pressure needs to be applied to Verizon.

Nowhere in that conversation did the Samsung rep say the 2.2 update was already made. If you read the words carefully all she's saying is that our phone is capable of receiving an update.
As far as us having to wait for Verizon, I think we might be able to use Kies once Samsung posts the updates.

I realize that, the representative I talked to on the phone today confirmed that it is, in fact, made "but it has not been approved by management." Those are his exact words. It's been made they just aren't pushing it out for some reason. ("The android 2.2 update has been made, but it has not been approved by management...")
I personally think that if they have time to make a Gingerbread update for ALL the other Galaxy S phones they can at LEAST make a 2.2 one for us.

Well that's good news about 2.2. I read Samsung's official announcement for Gingerbread. If we're being hyper-technical (just playing devil's advocate), the announcement did not state all Galaxy S phones would receive the update. It just said Galaxy S which could mean only the i9000.

But it said the update would be pushed out to Galaxy S phones in North America, which would not be the i9000.

a$$ pain
been pestering someone for almost an hour now. on hold for his boss

This is what's up

It is very likely that Samsung has "completed" several Froyo builds for the Continuum, and like the Fascinate, Verizon is holding everything up again. If enough people can bother Samsung, they may just post the source early like did for the Fascinate, showing that they aren't the hold up. Granted, this would only get us the kernel, but we have to start somewhere.

I will try and call tomorrow.

They don't have to release proprietary code that is in the ROM as the Android system code is released under a different license, so the platform code is worthless for making a ROM.

Anyone else still doing this?

10.1v 3.1 update

Is it ever gonna happen.
Or shall we move to xoom?
Honest question needs an honest answer

Especially sine vidafoine has already ditched 10.1v, I doubt it will be updated ever.
Sent from my GT-P7100 using XDA App

I asked my provider Vodacom (owned by Vodafone) about the 3.1 update for the Galaxy Tab 10.v. This is what I wrote to them:
"To whom it may concern
I have a contract with Vodacom ,and they gave me a Galaxy tab 10.1, but it only has Android 3.0.1 installed. I would like to know when Vodacom/Vodafone will release the software update to Android 3.1 so that I can finally attach USB devices to my Tablet. It is a little frustrating having old software while other tablet users already have the update (Take the Motorola XOOM for instance, and the fact that the Galaxy 10.1 is already shipping with Android 3.1 in the states).
So my honest opinion is if Vodacom wants to be a credible and reliable mobile operator selling the latest technology, then they must update their Tablets/Smartphone to the latest software promptly."
I'll post their reply here...

yeah that would be nice to wait for their answer. But i think vodafone wont follow the 3.1 update path cuz the update will be different for 3.1 v cuz it has 3g from the 3.1 update for wifi only version.
I personally think, since 10.1 is out......the development and tweaks here at xda will slowly die down for 10.1v.
Samsung does it again. Loyal customers are kicked out.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1129309

I already have 3.01. The most verifiable source would be vodafone to answer our questions.
Do we have 3.1 or not. !0.1 is already shipping with 3.1.

I finally got an answer from Samsung south Africa and the update is expected to come in August, at least on south Africa. So it seems like by September we'll have the 3.1 update.
Samsung promises me a follow up phone call with a data expect to explain more and if I get interesting information I will post it here.
What a mission to get anyone to speak on this...
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App

I got an answer from Vodacom directly and all they said was that Samsung had already released the 3.1 update and now vodacom's technicians were busy with it to ensure it was compatible with their services and network.
But no expected date for release was given.
Honestly though, My hopes are lying with the XDA community, I still think that if we can repartition the 10.1v then hopefully it will allow us to flash the 10.1 updates or roms with minimal effort. We have all the driver source codes for the 10.1v so hopefully that will also help things.

Twigster, just for interest's sake - to whom did you speak to at vodacom. Honestly speaking I found them unhelpful.
I'm not going to buy a network operator branded device again. My nexus is always yge first to get updates because it's unlocked.

as our 10.1v is stock honeycomb cant we just update through google?

anwyays, you can already flash 3.1 with touchwiz UX in the 10.1v developmet forums, so why not give it a shot if you really want 3.1?

Hi!
Why do you think so? Any special reason?

26. or 28. of November, so we have time.

I am writing to huawei device facebook page but no one gives a answer. They sold their producs but not giving support

maybe end of this month , from the chinese official support

Tell their 'support' that we no longer care and are moving to better 'supported' products from another manufacturer.
Tell them that users in this forum created a better rom for free and faster than their entire multi million dollar company. (Try running Oxygen ROM which is Android 2.3.7 and its running perfectly with no issues at all)
Support and updates are just as important at the physical device nowadays which is why i've given up with any Huawei devices in the future and will no longer purchase their products due to their continued lack of interest in support of their products.
Mention Huawei around the country here and most people think of them as cheap crap and the way their going with support I dont see that image improving for many years, pitty, cause some of their products were getting better, but they keep letting everyone down in some way or another..

where'll know released it? from twitter or ?

I can´t belive anymore in a official 2.3.4 release...

It seems we still need to wait for another few days...

Its all disappointment for me. We waited like 6 months from now, even the other developers from this forum solve all the issues all by themselves. Million dollar company not solved yet? Its unbelievable.
I won't be suprised they starting to say "end of december".

Oh c'mon guys, don't expect miracles from Huawei. What can they offer that isn't already yours to take unofficially. At best they can offer an update which is already outdated when (IF) it finally appears?

I don't care 2.3 at all. All I want is new kernel, new drivers and some fixes. Microphone sound quality, wifi issues etc.
There is nothing else I expect from them. As I stated in my facebook post, If a company sells android phones; they should consider updates at first. Because its the one thing user expect when he/she choose Android for OS.

Maybe they have a different DIY policy? "We made and sold you a phone, you're on your own now - take care"

Do my best.

Ozgurce,
Your statement is not quite true:
Mine and some other x5 got into a imei nulled state and wifi cradhes system or gives ERROR, and this happens with all 2.3 roms.
My only solution was to get back into FLB, not even with full backups from working roms on my phone got sucess.
As you told, devs found a solution but it is not perfect and does not work for everyone... Million dollar company must find a working driver for everyone X5 and give support to that options... Devs dont need to do that.
