Feb 22nd Froyo OTA - Fascinate General

So has anyone that's on stock EA28 tried to check for an OTA update to see of the rumor of the aforementioned 2.2.1 OTA is actually being pushed today like various sources said it is supposed to be?

many of us are curious as to when/if the ota will drop...despite being on eb01 already.
basically the sooner the ota starts, the (hopefully) sooner the froyo source is released from samsung.

I'm already on EB01 with his port of Matted Blues Engraved. I'm just curious if anyone that's still on stock EA28 has checked for an update.

I have stock, EA28, and checking every 1/2 hour still nothing ( if not today im going to break down and do the reading and root. so much to read though ugg.

Actually the epic didn't get ota, to my understanding they had a download on the website. Maybe we will too?

I will confirm for you in a few hours, but I can pretty much guarantee that its a negative, and the people who leaked it are full of merd.

I'm running stock and haven't received any notifications that there is an OTA update.

Considering that EB01 still has a number of problems (like the new GPS issues), I'd imagine they'd hold off on releasing until there's nothing too major.
Plus, they haven't announced that they're going to do anything, so it seems highly doubtful it's coming out today.

Totally agree.. Besides if they can not get bing up in our face what's the point of even updating us .. Ever

That hasn't stopped them from pushing out updates with a multitude of issues before. lol Just release the source. Who cares if it's buggy? Our wonderful developers will fix it and then Verizon can use that to push out to everyone.

Unfortunately the majority of Fascinate owners will never be able to reap the rewards of all the hard work that our developers put into making Samsung's Fascinate an actually great phone.

I am surprised that the Epic 4G got theirs as scheduled. We may not get it today but we will soon enough!

Am I the only one who likes everything about 2.1 better?

2.2 just seems....unpolished? Tons of little annoyances, choppy browser even on non flash pages, etc. I don't know...I'm just not feeling it.

Not feeling a very beta build that barely made it to any testers?
Can't imagine why you wouldn't be feeling it.
It's not a finalized version. There are bugs and such because its a leak. Its more then likely a leak of a beta version of 2.2

The DL30 leak is great, yes a bit buggy at times, but I also have no to desire to even think about 2.1 again. So happy to have some of the little features I've been missing. I was just about to give up on my fascinate, but the same day I was talkin to a buddy at work the leak came out. I was seriously sittin at work b!tchen about not have 2.2 and check on here and BAMMM.. there it was. I had 2.2 loaded on my phone faster then you could blink! lol
I like it so far

just like with froyo...took us months to get froyo for the vibrant after the i9000 got it so this means nothing for the vibrant
if im reading that correctly that does meant that we will eventually be getting gingerbread but if im not mistaken the release coming next week is supposed to be for international sgs phones.
I thought the vibrant was a US only variant? Also you would think we would have seen leaked builds by now from krylon.

Doesn't matter what day it is released. It is a joke either way!
I'm not holding my breath nor do I really care anymore. I am super content with 2.2.1 simply honey even though its not meant for our phones.
I tried installing kies again and updated it tio the version required but I can't get kies tio recognize my phone. Kies 2.0 doesn't support my phone.
Is been much time since I don't use kies, but I remember having troubles with it, I think the only time I got it to work was with kies mini..
Using bionix 1.3.1 now, tried also installing stock jfd ecclaire

We got froyo 6 months after i9000, so if people are looking for a official GB, go look inside a toilet.
If you want a beta.... there MAY BE one.
but then again we already have 2 GB roms, and i'm pretty sure their the same.
Who gives a damn about official roms, im just happy this got out so our great developers will have something more solid and close for GB to our device than they do now.

Unless, and i am not trying to start something here, Verizon wants to start the Monday news cycle off with their OTA release. I know first thing Monday morning I spend an hour at work catching up on some tech news....

Like nitsuj said, Epic Froyo source code release was also on a Friday, and the official release from Sprint was on Monday.
So now the question is, when are we going to start seeing ED01 ROMs?

From what I gather, this is pretty much the same as the Mesmerize source, and because it is shoddy coding, it doesn't really seem to be all that helpful

If we don't see an official release this coming week, then I guess it is Verizon that's holding back Froyo for the Fascinate. :/

froyo finally

http://support.vzw.com/system_update/samsung_fascinate.html
about time
Has anyone checked this at all? I'm guessing its probably ed01?
The pdf states it is in fact froyo with ed01.. at least it's here though, regardless of that fact!
Yep. According to BGR delivery starts tomorrow.
I'll have to check my wife's phone tonight/tomorrow to see what's up. However, the last update was posted on VZW site a couple of days before it was actual OTA on her phone.
anyone care to speculate on the steps required to receive the ota update if you're already running a leaked froyo modem/kernel/rom?
I settled into the stock de-binged ec01 modem & rom with imnuts' 100mv uv kernel... The rom allows me to check for ota updates - and as of now says no updates are available...
It'll be interesting to see if ota will try to update my "ec01" to an official ED01. I doubt it, and I doubt it would be successful if it tried...

Wondering the same thing. I have EB01 debloated (by urs truly) with EC01 radio. I'm able to run the status check but no update as of yet. gonna be interesting to see if they let me update to ED01. If past holds true I'll have to go back to EA28 then update that way....

According to the Post on Android central this will be a manual update and not OTA and that it will be ED01, which is the same as the leaked EC01.

I would advise most on here to hold off on the ota update. They are touting a "feature" of bing voice search, meaning deeper bing integration. Probably one of the things that held this update up so long. I'll be waiting for a stripped down rom. It's just a shame that the source is so bad that development on our phones is not going to be as robust as it should for all its power.

I would bet that ec01 is the stripped down rom & that the radio is the same ec01 leaked last week. Remember Adrynalyne said the build prop was altered to change the date for leak protection. They got it & already fixed it for us. You can't beat XDA!

GB Update for Epic

Spoke to Reston, VA today. They claim they are still working on the official GB update to the Epic with Samsung. They don't want to have any problems like they had with the Froyo update (according to them- there was a "lag" issue with the rotation on 2.2 OTA update). No date planned as of yet. Please stand by...
As long as its working right when it comes out. Thanks.

if only we could get em to release the source (with EVERYTHING needed) and let the community fix it for them, since we all know it would happen 10x faster than they are getting things done. Oh well, keep dreaming right?
Samsung should just give up and let the Epic community work on GB. Give them the source code and I bet they will have a fully functional build of GB within a month.
