oops..'Froyo'
"Hi there,
Some news on the update to Android 2.2 for the Samsung Galaxy S. Currently we are making some changes to get it working better when using Orange signal, and are therefore looking to release the update by the end of November – obviously this is a delay on our original release date but we hope it will be worth the wait!
The update will still be made available through the Samsung Kies PC application.
Regards
Forum Team "
from the TM support forum
oh well.
Obviously carrier specific firmwares aren't going to be out at the same time as the standard release, but I'm a bit concerned about these supposed problems with Orange, given that I have an Orange contract + unbranded phone.
Same here I'm on orange uk aswell with an unbranded phone. My friend has a galaxy s on tmobile.. When he boots his phone up he gets atmobile animation where as I get the unbranded s that materializes itself from little shards.
So does this mean orange will be delayed aswell as they have merged their signal or is this just going to just be for the tmobile branded phones???
Can any 1 shed any more light on this?

Nope, both you and I will be able to install froyo as soon as Samsung release it.
Whether there will be issues getting a signal on Orange is another matter however - hopefully it won't render froyo unusable.
I think the delay is due to the fact that when roaming onto the opposite network, the phone does not switch back when the original signal is available.
For example i run jpk on my orange contract, when i am in the sticks and run out of orange signal it connects to tmobile, however when i am back in town, etc it does not connect me back to orange. This is fine for calls, however i only get 3g, etc on orange, not tmobile.
This is just a guess tho.

Well I have held off as long as I can I'll give it until the 1st of november and I'm gonna flash a rom myself. Is there any difference between jpk and jpm? I have jpk downloaded and ready to go
T-Mobile are talking crap. My JPM switches to Orange when i have no T-mobile signal and works just fine. My guess is they are trying to find away to brand all the unbranded devices.

Do you still get the internet 3g connection aswel with the switch?
And also does it switch back ok when it finds t mobile connection again?
If so then maybe your right.
Did they miss the November '2011' from the forum post ?

Don't feed the troll!
Thinking about it now, cause the way froyo has been rolling out with branding crap things don't look so rosy. xda is the way forward imho So btw, it takes a month and a half to do one little roaming tweak for the merging t mobile and orange users in the uk? Biggest lie ever, cause there is a 2 min workaround on t mobile uk users site. Just switching on roaming, send a few texts and workaround on t mobile uk users site. Just switching on roaming, send a few texts and job done. So this is bs all the way. Why don't samsung come clean and say ops sgs korea only gets froyo and rest of the world stays on eclair.....stop feeding bs, trying to boost sales numbers by lies!
I posted this here from sgs forums, from my original cause I am so angry!
FYI, this has just appeared on Samsung UK facebook page :
Samsung UK Mobile Hi everyone, sorry for not getting this to you sooner. The Android 2.2 software is being fully tested with UK operators and the upgrade will be available in the UK from early November. We expect all operator versions of the software to be fully tested and downloadable by the end of November. Let us know if you have any questions. Many thanks, Samsung.
Got my sgs from TMobile UK website but it's not branded as far as I can see - get the S animation on startup...

Me too.
But, my product code is a t-mobile one, so not one update is available on Kies. Not even JM1.
This tells me T-mobile will brand my phone with their official update
Hi All,
Anyone on Rogers in Canada received the Samsung update (the one that enables anti shaking by default etc)? So far it only seems to be people on ATT who are getting the notice...
None here
just change your hklm\system\platform\devicetargetinginfo\mobileoperator registry setting to ATT-US. Thats what I did & got the ATT update
Wasn't that update bundled with NoDo in canada?

I don't think so. I have NoDo, but none of the extra "Samsung upgrade" features that are being talked about...
Hi, I'm really confused.. I have a rooted galaxy s4 from att. I am currently in israel and using an israeli sim card in my unlocked phone. There is an app called get taxi that is available in israel that I want to download, it keeps telling me that it is not available in my country... Why is that? I'm in israel now. I have read that by using vpn I can bypass this but I want to be able to do it the normal way since I'm going to be here for a while. I already tried to clear app data and cache in the play store which didn't work. Any ideas? I'm in the country in which the app is available so not sure what's wrong here.

Have to use VPN... try DroidVPN, it's free unless you want unlimited bandwidth which is $5 for one month.

sony reported 4-5 months ago that it would release the lollipop update to its xperia Z devices and they kept us waiting till now, 2 weeks ago it was reported that sony launched its update and it would reach each country 'slowly', the launching day was 16 march and till this day i havent received MOD [email protected] rule 2! Im very dissapointed at Sony for their SLOW updates while the galaxy s5 received android lollipop 2 MONTHS AGO! Sony told us they would release it at q1 in 2015 but did they really have to delay it till the last freaking day!? Bunch of MOD [email protected] rule 2! if u ask me. Im satisfied with my device but i expect the updates early so next time i wont buy a sony device! Any of you MOD [email protected] rule 2! received this update already?
I'm from Belgium btw, the country where all updates come as last: seriously.

MOD EDIT @gregbradley Please read the XDA rules here especially the bit in Rule 2.1 about use of profanity
Thanks
Only the baltic and nordic regions received it. It has started to rollout to other regions today. For D5803 that is. No news for D5833 yet.

Does the Spanish ROM display 4G or LTE?
I've got used to the LTE icon on my Europe Kitkat rom but not sure which country it came from unfortunately.
Sorry, can't tell, my service provider doesn't have 4G yet.
Czech republic, only Info-eye update, no Lollipop yet.
Russia! Update is here!

Unbranded updates or with a mobile carrier?
In my case, unbranded.
I spoke to Sony Mobile UK "support" today on their horrible webchat service.
As usual, I typed my question in on the first screen when asked.. and they completely ignored it and asked me again by the time I got to the main chat session. Plus their responses were slow, unhelpful and they didn't know anything.
I love my phone - but I loathe the lack of support at the customer level.

OK, thanks.
I just checked Xperifirm and lollipop had been released in quite a few countries for unbranded devices now.
Central Europe 1 seems to be the KitKat ROM I'm using, no lollipop on the Sony server for that one just yet.

Same, in Eastern US.
I just checked, and have it available. I'm in the USA, on AT&T, using a D5803 I imported from the UK.
Pumped to get a prerooted one to flash soon.

Silly question: will I get the OTA update if I downgraded my firmware before in order to root my phone?

Unbranded.
There are no branded firmwares in Russia.
Upgraded to 5.0.2 via Pc Companion in France with Orange cell network
Download in progress via pc compagnion , France via free mobile network
Has the German Version been released yet?
I own a 5803 and won't receive the update via OTA or the Sony Bridge for mac. Always tells me I am up to date
I bought my S8 few weeks ago and it is still stuck on Nougat with December security updates. It is Polish distribution and from what I heard they are getting Oreo for a few days now, but mine still nothing. Not even newer security updates. Is it possible that my updates are somehow blocked if I don't use phone in Poland?
It could be worse, you could be with EE in the UK who are famed for being one of the slowest operators in the world when it comes to software updates.
