Rumors:Samsung Galaxy S to Get Froyo Around 23rd September?
It’s always a good thing when a company keeps their word. In the world of Android, it doesn’t always happen, especially when it comes to release dates for firmware updates. However, it seems like Samsung will indeed stay true to their promise that the international-spec Galaxy S (i9000) will be receiving its update to Android 2.2 by the end of September. A source from within the Finland branch of Samsung has disclosed that Samsung’s repairs department will be:
“definitely receiving new software for repairing froyo builds on the 22nd of September, with the build expected to be released on the 23rd”
There are two important points to make of this. Firstly, if this is what is planned in Finland, then it’s logical that the release in other countries should happen at a similar time. So while I cannot say with full confidence that the global release will be on September 23rd, it does at least seem like a good starting point, if nothing else. Secondly, this information only relates to the i9000 Galaxy S. While it is fully possible that the four USA Galaxy S devices will receive froyo around this time, we cannot be sure of this based upon this information alone. In the meantime, let’s hope that this information is accurate, and that the Galaxy S receives its helping of Froyo soon.
thanks for sharing but this is old news
How about HTC Desire getting theirs from T-Mobile today then ?

I read the news 3 days ago, I know that it is an old news the fact that in Semptember, or late September the Froyo will be launched for Samsung Galaxy S, but I never read until now the exact date

Awesome news for you
sorry miss read
I am thinking that since I was opened this threat, we can post on which country the update will be release when will be released, because I am afraid that is not going to be worldwide and I am guessing that also depends a lot if the phone if locked on a network or purchased network-free.

Well it's not going to be world wide same time. And I sure hope it's not going to be on 23rd this month, cause it's not good at all, if it will be like the release of 9/9/2010 leaked froyo. It is NOT ready.
If they release it like this, it will be like Epic Fail.
if you are asking a question then add a question mark to the thread title please. it saves people from clicking into a useless thread. and when i say useless i mean it really is old news and there will be nothing but speculation in here.
Looks like upgrade will be later than expected
According to an article over at brighthand.com, Froyo won't come to us until late October now.
Yep, I read about it all day - now the only thing that I am curious is if this announcement is for worldwide or not
I hate you for bumping this thread and giving my false hopes ;(. And it's not -official-, it's news based on a rumor.
If it was official it would be a worldwide announcement by Samsung...

Samsung will not be announcing Froyo for US devices via their Samsung UK press office.
i9000 is the only galaxy s in the uk, no? which would makes sense that it would be early nov for them in the uk, then all operators (everywhere) by end of nov.
edit: actually reading the press release makes it seem more dubious that they would mean all operators internationally
I'm with the OP.
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.
Even if you didnt know anything about the topic, you can easily understand operators=carriers and by them specifying UK Operators I think that pretty much makes it easy to understand. Why hate anyway, for those waiting for OTA and Source code it's better news than nothing.

Yeah. Once you actually read the release (doesn't sound like Engadget did) it seems kinda clear.
Its about perspective.. If Samsung issued a press release out of Korea or their US headquarters that said "all operators" would have the update by X date, then it would cover the US. But when Samsung UK issues that statement.. There's no reason to think it would apply to America.
There have been many misleading posts where naive readers read announcements about the "galaxy S" in Europe and wrongly apply that to the U.S. variants. This is another unfortunate example.
Engadget, reinforcing my low expectations of its shoddy journalism, also fell for the same error today. Their story says "presumably including the Vibrant, Captivate, Epic 4G, and Fascinate) by the end of November." Presumably? What a joke. All they have to do is call Samsung for confirmation.
The Engadget writer, Chris Ziegler, is particularly brain-dead. He authored several "articles" about the GPS problems on the Galaxy S phones and never got anything right.

Hopefully some clarification comes at minimum to put this thread to rest. When Google and Apple announce devices on US soil, they also usually give the release dates for all the Int'l carriers too. So why is this different. I guess we'll find out. Either way, its a good thing.

Google and Apple are US companies, so when they make an announcement in the US, it's from "headquarters." But if they were going to announce a product intended for Japan, for instance, they wouldn't do it in the UK.
That's why Samsung (Korea) making an announcement in the UK regarding US products makes no sense.
It will get here when it gets here. We don't need 50 threads about it. I'm more inclined to believe the UK statement is a UK statement. When it comes out of T-Mobile then I'll believe the timeframe.
Blahh,blahh,blahh......and more blahh blahh blahhhhhhh......
agreed that the article makes it sound like US galaxy's/Vibrants, but i think they mean/or are mistaken that it is european galaxy's and not Vibrant....
---poorly written article
reading.......... what a concept
Is it me or do most of the "Froyo is coming" shouter really do not understand word and sentence structure? (sorry for posting as a question)

No, it's not just you.
They all think they have the definitive info and shout it as loud as they can and have all been wrong every time, so far.
It's like they trying to be important, rather than just passing along information.
If the OP made the title, "Here's a 2.2 Article, what does this mean?" this OP wouldn't look so bad, but that wouldn't give him the feeling of being as important.
Just flash eugene's new froyo rom if you're so desperate It works great with the exception of minor issues and you'll be able to finally download that shiny new Gmail app and use the wonderful Voice Commands and you're good to go.
BTW, Samsung's galaxy S support site for the U.S. on Twitter is still saying there is no ETA for Froyo on this side of the pond.

Where did you see it say that? I read this:

That Twitter site is dedicated to Galaxy S support in the United States, which is what I meant by "this side of the pond." (The Samsung USA rep was responding to a question about Froyo here on Vibrant, and confirmed in the previous tweet that it was rolling out overseas.)
If Samsung dangles another carrot in front of me about Froyo on my Vibrant, I'm going to set their Korean building on fire.
I believe they have my Froyo!
As you probably know last Month that Samsung pulled-out the froyo Update files of the Samsung Galaxy S from its servers due to Many System Bugs that Made the Android froyo unstable and laggy. And Samsung UK confirmed on its twitter Status that the Froyo Update is Coming on November on its Final Version and to All Network operators and No More Delays...No More pulling-out!!
We Got Some Information that the Release Date of the Galaxy S Froyo update for USA Carriers and UK Carriers is somewhere around 11th November,2010 as a FINAL Release Date. Worldwide release will follow in few days after the Official Release of the Froyo ROM for Samsung Galaxy S, which Means that All Galaxy S users Worldwide (Include Middle-East and Arab gulf users) will get the update on November along with UK,USA Carriers too.
So The Update is Coming Finally and NO More Delays AT ALL... More Stable... More Smoother, its a matter of time right Now. As I always say "Waiting for the froyo to come-out, better than waiting for it to load!".

Cool, but disappointed to have to wait a few more weeks
They should use a better file system.
How fast do you think the Carphone Warehouse will have it (UK)? Or should I just get unbranded Europe?
Has that come from Samsung themselves ? and not third gay party ?

Why would you think that? There is no news of the USA versions getting the update anytime soon and I bet the international version will be one of the first ones to get it. Just follow Samsung Mobile's official twitter accounts. Those are the only places I can trust with so many sites reporting this or that with no evidence.

Got this mail as well... Won't allow it to pointlessly bring up my hopes though..
I was speaking with a Tmobile rep here in the USA and he said that there will be an Official 2.3 update comming out for the Tabs here in the USA. He would not say when or with what carriers. Does anyone else have any info?
Samsung has already confirmed that the tab is getting 2.3 but no one knows when. Judging by how they treat their galaxy S phones we probably won't get it till Summer or later, but if they wait that long I hope they just give us honeycomb.
I don't know how much input the US carriers have when it comes to the tab but I have a feeling that here in the US the carriers will hold us back. who knows, maybe we'll get lucky and get a Cyanogenmod honeycomb build

Flashing and tweaking my HD2 to Android was easy. Flashing the tab does not look easy at all. There is no one click method that I know of, and I really dont want to brick mine. I will probably wait for Official releases.
Don't start a flame war.
I wont be dealing with it.
Any news on when Samsung will be releasing their source code?
Wasn't there a certain amount of time they have to release the codes after they release the rom? Was it 60 days?
I heard they released it for the captivate, ours can't be too far behind.
I didn't see the US captivate source unless I just entered in the wrong model number.
They must release it in like 30 days.
They dont have any othr choice

From what I get out of this, I have been told I am wrong.... and I honestly hope I am... but this is how I see it.
They have 60days according to the what ever open source agreement I don't feel like remembering what its called right now, ha. AFTER and OFFICIAL update to let the source code go.
HOW EVER! When they announced that they WILL let the source out... they said with in 60days of the OFFICIAL OTA, its all in the wording. Someone else pointed out that an update through Kies is NOT an official update, the only way it is official is if Tmobile pushes it through an OTA... and if you think about it that true.
But they pissed everyone off once and there was a backlash against them.... do you really think they will mess up like that again?

Yes. Source code doesn't look like it will be released soon. When it finally is, I'm pretty sure we will have 2.3.2 working.
CM 7 for Galaxy S is pretty close to done. Codeworkx just posted a video of CM 7 Gingerbread running on the I9000 pretty flawlessly.
It's here.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2DsF7VT3ms
Krylon360 is working out the bugs on a TW build of Gingerbread as well (its working, just buggy). And Eugene seems to have figured out the battery drain from the I9000 kernels so if he has indeed, a LOT of I9000 things will be ported. This coming month is my expectation we will see fully functional Gingerbread on the Vibrant.
The source code for Froyo won't be relevant soon really. . .
Official isn't how the copyright is worded. Its 60 days from when you release. Putting something on Kies, an official source of software from Samsung counts as a release. Doesn't have to be OTA, doesn't have to be delivered by UPS, all that matters is it is released through an official channel, which it has been.
