The DL09 update is not Froyo
http://bit.ly/eVbIJm
no froyo for fascinate
lol better close this thread before it gets out of hand hahahahah
I am trying to debunk that rumor that just got started lol
My bad. The tweets were right after another so I assumed it was a Froyo update as well. Ironic the smallest of all the Galaxy S carriers gets it first. Probably because they don't force as much bloatware on to it as the others.

The interesting thing is that it isn't an OTA upgrade.
android central just posted the fascinate froyo release story.. sorry but i can't link yet =P
and yes the open source link does list the froyo zip for the supplied model #SGH-T959D
Believe it or not, US Cellular probably has almost as many developers responsible for "Android Stuff" as Sprint does... I'm guessing 2 or 3, vs 4-6 for Sprint. People would be shocked if they knew how few actual developers are responsible for so much of what we use daily. There are dozens & dozens of employees involved with QA, logistics, liasing between management & Samsung's own developers, etc... but actual individuals with the official source in their Eclipse workbench personally working on raw sourcecode? Very, very few. The main advantage *they* have over devs @ XDA is the email address of someone at Samsung who *might* be able to help them if they get stuck on something. And, of course, the latest source ;-)
You *always* need at least two devs who can touch the code if necessary, but beyond that, the number grows very slowly beyond the first 3-6 and their supervisor. In a very real sense, NoobieNL + one or two other Epic devs basically doubles or triples the number of development man-hours dedicated *specifically* to the Epic's destiny if you also count Sprint's devs. Samsung *itself* probably has 1 or 2 devs who spend all day with the Epic, 1 or 2 more who deal mainly with "CDMA Galaxy S" stuff, and a much bigger group responsible for Touchwiz & platform apps in general.
That's why unauthorized leaks are frowned upon here. If the 2.2 source for the Epic gets leaked without tacit authorization, Sprint doesn't have an army of faceless drones to blame... they have one or two managers who'll get reamed/threatened, and those managers probably have a pretty good idea who did it before they even leave the VP's office.
At the end of the day, regional carriers are a mixed bag. They have more developers per capita than Sprint or Verizon, and probably less internal bureaucracy & complications like SprintTV, but less/no individual "pull" with HTC, and even less with Samsung. If Sprint locks horns with Samsung, they'll probably reach a compromise they can both deal with. If US Cellular, Fido, MetroPCS, etc locks horns with Samsung, they'll probably be tactfully told to take it or leave it.

Do we even know that Sprint and/or Samsung are upset about the leaks or that the ones we have weren't authorized from someone higher up? I would say that having leaked Froyo out in the wild takes a lot of heat off of them. Sure people are upset about not having the "official" version with source and all, but imagine how upset they would be if we had no Froyo at all. Is there any evidence that these leaks weren't intentional?

There isn't any evidence either way, so it's all conjecture. I'm excited to point out that your question demonstrates one of the few logical fallacies whose names I remember from a rhetoric class I took in high school. I swear I'm not trying to be a jerk. I just love it when I remember something I learned so goddam long ago.
Using the absence of evidence against a hypothesis to suggest that the hypothesis is true is called "argumentum ad ignorantiam". It's used rhetorically to place the burden of proof on the skeptic and in extreme cases can lead to paranoid conspiracy theories. "You can't prove it's wrong; therefore it must be right!"
I'm not suggesting that you're doing that at all. I really am just spouting some crap I learned in high school because I think it's fun.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_w5JqQLqqTc
The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence.
^^^ Actually, I wasn't referring to any specific leak, recent or otherwise... just reminding everyone that if they ever get contacted by someone at Sprint someday with info they need to make something work, but they're asked to keep it under wraps until some date, don't assume that it's a thinly-veiled "okay" to go ahead and post it immediately, or that he/she's safe because nobody at Sprint will be able to figure out who secretly helped you. Thank them profusely, and respect their request (if only out of enlightened self-interest and hope that they might share more info with you in the future).

DJ05 works, not something that resets your GPS values.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I saw a comment on the article that it could be Samsung planning an update that requires the default settings for GPS to work properly. Why they wouldn't just have the update reset the data is beyond me, but it's a possibility. I'll just stick with DJ05.
I have to agree about DJ05. Incredible improvement. If I put my Fascinate in my windshield mount and start the GPS, it's locked on, and giving me directions by the time I back out of the driveway.
Have to third dj05. Gps is now spot on. I get a 15 second lock every time. Also get twice as many sats to lock in now than I did with di01.

the logic problem with this is that if Samsung (who I strongly suspect knows about the leak) really wanted to find the leaker they could just as easily as any one else go to the IRC and obtain it. Not trying to be obtuse but are we really protecting the leaker by talking about, alluding to how to get it but simply not posting it ? I doubt it.

BTW; I'm back with my Incredible, which locks instantly, until the GPS is fixed or an easy to find, easy to install fix is available. Over all I prefer the Fascinate but the sucky GPS is a deal breaker.

The primary reason that it's not posted here is that the update may never be an official update. Since there is a risk in updating to DJ05, as well as going back to DI01, it's better to keep it where it currently is until the update is official or something else that is newer/better comes out.

And I'm not seeing a link to the downloadable file in yours. Adrynalyne your Omnia ROM is still on the phone in the old phone drawer and I have the greatest respect for the work all the devs do. I wish I had the skills and time. I am capable of understanding the risks involved in modding my phone and consider them in every instance.
The dj05 leak is not readily available, the reason that has been most often offered is that the leaker will be put in jeopardy if it is. I don't agree with that logic. That is the only relevance I was hoping for.

This makes much more sense. Minimize the access to the less skilled. In my case I think I could find it and install it. I choose not to probably because it seems less supported then makes me comfortable. So the logic and the result are proven.

Hey guys, this is my first post and I'm a long time reader, so bear with me . Anyways, I toyally agree with you except, I just got off of the phone with samsung and according to the lady 2.2.1 was already released to sprint on the 17th of december. So if she is correct, it would be way more effective to call sprint instead because they are the ones with the ball in their court now (IMO). Yeah, samsung took long, but I think we must now pressure the carriers bcause it WAS already released to them (idk about AT&T) and that's maybe why the galaxy s phones were listed as 2.2 on Sammy's website. The sounded like she thought we had it by now, but maybe she's just... DUMB? Again I may be totally wrong about all of this sooo.... that's just my current thoughts on the update drama.

The strategy here is not to directly go to one or the other but to both in hopes that one will pressure the other to make a statement or take direct responsibility.
Although I am glad that this is the case and we now have an official statement from Samsung.

Added to my harrass list. Will note however that I doubt this will bring about anything. They could care less how we the minority of users savvy enough to know the difference feel. They've sold near 10 million SGS phones.
Personally I think they should have froyo out a long time ago, HOWEVER if it's unstable, why release it? DK28 is close to stable but not for prime time. I'm running it and need to restart the phone about once or twice a day.
I suspect it was a management decision to not release it because if there are big issues and they release it around xmas time, who is going to be around to fix it or support all the end users complaining? Most of the people take vacations around mid December until January for holidays... Most likely they have short staff.
I think we'll see something in January when they have developers ironing out the last bugs and have a full support team. Maybe for CES??
On another note, I think they "leaked" 2.2.1 out for a reason.. let's beta test on the hard core folks... Lots of people complained about GPS and some other issues, so best to fix it first from their perspective. These leaks happen to go to typically more advanced users that can figure out how to revert back to stock without needing to call support...
Is there a such app that would do the same as an app called sms bomber but it would do emails or tweets lol then you could blow them up literally.....sprint

Gladly... thanks for the links!
Was reading around the pages and you guys are doing it wrong...
If your posting on a Sprint page, blame sprint, no matter what others say blame sprint and give evidence that its sprint..(if people blame samsung prove that is sprints fault)
(for those wondering international sgs did get froyo updates..it is official..not a rumor...the ones in canada were taken down but they were reinstated a week later and everything works)
If your on Samsung's page blame samsung and if people blame carriers prove that its samsungs fault...
This may sound contradicting but if your posting about how samsung sucks on a Sprint site..sprint does not need to defend samsung..they can let them take the blame..
same way the other way..
*evil grin* lol
I'm not sure of the timing but this was posted to phandroid after we started:
http://phandroid.com/2010/12/30/epic-4g-2-2-delayed-you-dont-say/
It would be nice for a carrier or manufacturer to give an official response instead of pushing the responsibility off to the retailers or customer service reps at the bottom.

n00b,
I love your work. You're an amazing developer, you're a nice guy, and you contribute a lot to these forums. Everyone likes you and you're somewhat of a legend around here.
However, to have someone to leak you unpublished work from a huge corporation is incredibly risky. The NDA's that people sign are pretty iron clad that if they leak information, they won't be able to have a job anymore. Their trust is completely lost if they get caught and they'll have trouble finding work elsewhere. They might even face jail time and fees. That's how serious this stuff is.
I'm as anxious as the next guy in order to get the new modem, froyo, and other mods. However, if you're REALLY interested in developing... why not join the machine? AKA try to get a job with Sprint, Samsung, Motorola, HTC, etc.? You can use all of us for references! Seriously, why not turn your hobby into real money with a career with them? To program for Android in the Bay Area would net you atleast over $100K a year!

As someone who works for a large corporation, I can tell you that the companies in question probably have people just as good as n00b employed with them (not to take anything away from n00b since his work around here has been awesome). The problem in these large companies isn't talent (IMO) as much as it is the RED TAPE. Some of the red tape is needed, but probably like 5% of it.

You know, you could probably just edit the CDMA parameters and be done with it... I know that my radio problem is that it picks up towers that are too weak into the "active set" and that it is a recent common Samsung problem on several models. They tweak it so that it will utilize too low a signal level in order to decrease the number of "out of service" states as well as decreasing its apparent time to ready.
I just don't know how to do this on the Epic, and am waiting to see if the official 2.2 update fixes this. I know it started with the DI18 update, and persists with DK28, and disappears when flashed back to DI07. My brother's Epic which for some reason has never updated from DG17 (and he doesn't care to do it manually) and does not display this behavior.
On the A900 years ago it was easy with QPST. Actually, come to think of it, my Sanyo 8500 did it too, and I fixed that one as well.

well he must kno something we dont know, maybe somepne got a leak and thats y hes asking?
Sources would be 10000x harder to leak than a phones zimage, modem, and /data/. Soure is held in a source control mechanism (git) internally usually, and unless the leaker is a dev, they probably don't know what to get. And if the leaker is a dev, they probably only have access to their piece of the project. Places I've worked in the past have been so anal bout what parts of source I see/have access to that I couldn't even tell what other features other devs were working on.

There's a January leak in somebody's hands, he knows it. I do too.
He wasn't asking for a source. He asked for the new modem which is out

But this whole downgrade to being considered a "Low Activity Device" is kinda messing with me a little...
I kinda really don't like it, lol...
If there is anyone else with me, let's all email the Super Mods, and see if we can bring it back
Please,
Taylore
The sad thing is that there has been more activity in here the past month than there was before, and it then gets the downgrade
As much as I hate to agree with this, we are a low activity device. Other than the general chatter about upgrading to froyo, we have a couple of ROMs and kernels that haven't been updated in quite some time, a gingerbread theme and some Ticker tweaks. Compared to other devices that is low activity.
We would need to kick up the development to really justify getting it moved.

Yeah, i can see what you are talking about...
As soon as we get froyo, there is definitely going to be a lot more development, and then I guess we can try and negotiate with the super mods then.
What does it mean to be downgraded? Can we still find all the dev stuff on our favorite sure?

It just means that we have been moved... Which in theory would be no big deal if there wasn't a handful of people who have been trying to keep this board alive and just got there efforts thwarted.... -__-

That's IF we get Froyo. It's been a couple months now, and we still haven't heard legitimate evidence that they are releasing froyo for us.
I have no idea why Verizon hasn't pushed that update out. It's incredible that they could just let the Continuum people hang like that. I'm going to talk to my media relations contact (I'm a product journalist by trade) and see what they say off the record. I'm sure it will go something like this "No comment at this time".

Kind words but I'm still not getting my hopes up. I was just starting to get comfortable with the idea I was gonna be stuck with Eclair..
I'll stay silently hopeful.

please be serious. if there is anything i can do to help, just ask. i really do like this phone, but the lack of 2.2 is a huge deal breaker. im going to try to get a different one unless i can be assured of froyo. if you provide it, i will be a very faithful follower
I activated this phone on a verizon pp before july 7 and so far I've kept my unlmtd data but I don't get upgrades....so I might have phone for awhile which means I don't care where the froyo comes from lol

"Legacy & Low Activity Devices", Wow.
That's low. But I guess it's the sign of the times.
I purchased my Continuum in January and I'm so fed up with samsung. RSS feeds don't work at all. Very dissappointed. I've decided not to purchase a single samsung phone/tablet product in the future. Lots of other makers that I see updates happening. 2 of my kids have Fascinates and they love them but updates are really slow coming out.
If it wasn't for you guys working on it and making it better, I would have canned the phone. Thanks for all your efforts and I hope we'll get 2.2 soon.
Start posting again! Now that we have Froyo, it's time to kick things up again.

I've noticed this unlimited data plan loophole mentioned a few times. Does this mean that those of us who are grandfathered in with the old data plans have a way of getting out of our contracts due to this change? I activated my Continuum in March.
But now that we are seeing some Froyo action, I'm not as desperate to go in a different direction. The thought of speeding her up and de-bloating is pretty exciting. Also I love the ticker even though it's only like 10% useable for what I do. The ability to answer or ignore calls and see the time no matter what I'm doing is great. Yes I know any non-continuum phone could do the same with a pop-up window or whatever but that permanent little section of soft-controls is just so cool! Thought the real reason I like it is the unlimited possibilities for customization...which so far has been non-existent. Every day I look at that ticker and muse over it's possibilities...thinking how nice it would be if the little notifiers mapped to apps I actually use or how awesome it would be to pop some 1x1 widgets down there.... Is it irrational in Aug 2011 to still hope for things everyone dreamed of when this thing was released last November?
I held on to Palm for way too long too....Is being loyal to a gadget for what it should be a fools errand that will just leave me sad and bitter in the end?

there is no loophole...verizon grandfathered in all smartphone users who had unlimited data (3g or 4g) for the near future (they can always change **** down the road if they want)
but for the time being u can upgrade on contract or activate new devices from 3g to 4g or 4g to 3g and keep ur same plan no restrictions (although 4g to 3g would burn ur 4g sim after 24 hours and ud need to get a new one)
Shouldnt all this activity and the Froyo Update bump us back up out of the low activity section? Just saying....
