Flash update! (March 18th!) - Xoom General

Mark your calendars.
XOOM'd from the XDA app.

Awesome! Could you edit the title so people know you're talking about Flash being released on the 18th and not the flash compatibility update.

Duh. lol. Done.
I really hope we can figure out a way to update to 3.0.1 without unrooting/relocking before then.

Saw the Twitter update... good news!

Awesome! Can't wait

I am excited about this. I will have both Netflix and Hulu working once this comes out. PlayOn rocks on!

I don't think they forgot, so much as omitted.
Probably mid-June
The official release sounds like it's going to be June but as Cyanogen pointed out on Twitter yesterday, Froyo source is already tricking into AOSP which means between now and release, CM will have more and more Froyo features.
there is a beta, right?
Engadget says they got a beta of both 2.2 and adobe's 10.1 flash player on their demo phone. If Adobe and google are sending these out, someone is going to dump the ROM and it will be available here. I'm itching for some frozen yougart...

It says here we can update OTA starting today. If I go to my phone settings and about and click on update it says I am up to date.

well this keynote isn't over yet, maybe they will mention it before it ends (release date).
the keynote isn't over. they'll announce the date at some point today.
Don't expect the release to be today. It's most likely in june.

So... you have sole rights to speculate about the release date? That's all anyone here is doing, there is not official or even leaked word about the date from anyone in the know. It's just based on Adobe's June release for Flash 10.1.
If someone posts a thread about the release, feel free to complain to them for double-posting but not the rest of us who are just helping the people that don't know how to search.
Supporting devices
Nexus One owners will be delighted to learn that Android 2.2 is available as an OTA update beginning today. Google also confirmed that late model devices like the Motorola Droid, HTC EVO 4G, HTC Desire and HTC Incredible are scheduled to get the update soo

Galaxy S Already Getting 2.2 Update Tonight @ Midnight

World Release! Android 2.2 FROYO on the Samsung Galaxy S. Tomorrow 12 o'clock'. AMSTERDAM
twitter.com/SamsungFirmware
At the look of this I suspect that getting 2.2 sent OTA for the Vibrant shouldn't be too far behind.
This is awesome, I heard the vibrant is supposed to get froyo early august. I am impressed with samsung, they are ready stepping up.
Do you think we would still get the update if we rooted the vibrant?

I'm pretty sure read somewhere on the forums that confirmed that even if you root it, you should still receive OTA's. However, might want to find someone that could confirm that. I'm about to go pick up my Vibrant, im so excited!

I don't see why rooting should stop you from getting the update.
If you have done more than just rooting, then I'm assuming you might have trouble getting the OTA update. Maybe someone more knowledgeable can chime in.
EDIT: By "more than just rooting", I mean if you have installed a custom bootloader or a custom rom.
Cool beans!
rbtady said:

Yeah, but if you install it, you will lose root. There will be a modified rom that's rooted VERY shortly after it is released though (Probably before many get the OTA update).
Wow, that was quick! Glad to see Samsung is following through with their promise and fast.
Hopefully the Vibrant will get a release in early August.
if this also includes a GPS fix, i'll be picking up a vibrant within the next week or two... after i pay AT&T my last payment on that contract. whoo!!

Hope so! though t mobile will want to get their hands on it before we see an OTA, of course once a vibrant/captive compatible version hits the internet, we will see a flash ready in no time.
great news!
lol. saw this thread and looked at my twitter tab and the tweet was there waiting for me.
awesome. too bad this isn't for the vibrant. right? just the international?
Non OTA related
This is not official in any capacity. How is this related to OTA release when feed is hosted by samsung-firmware.webs ?
This is so awesome thanks for the info.
SAMSUNG BEAST VIBRANT ™ XDA APP
there should be no reason for those who rooted to not recieve an ota update. however, if you flashed a custom kernal/radio then those ota's might've been disabled.
Anyone noticed this?
http samsung-firmware.webs.com/apps/blog/entries/show/4360690-coming-soon-vibrant-captivate-
Looks like there is already a newer version firmware for vibrant. Mine is JFD. The latest on that page is JFE. Or, that's just a demo page...

[Q] Official Froyo Update for Epic 4G

The development section is crawling with rumors that someone got this update today. Only one person has confirmed the OTA update and no one else on the dev forum has received it.
Click here to see the original thread.
Has anyone here received it yet?
WOW is all I have to say. Start a new thread for what point? To give the troll a bit more to laugh at you about?

Bubby confirmed in the development thread that this is legit. Would suggest following the story there.
Great news. Just finished reading 14 pages of original thread. Seems legit.

its real, its coming out tonight. case closed
The DI18 to DK28 update is posted over in that thread now.
Check the dev forum. Everybody has a chance to load this. I did.
On another note this release appears to come with the new youtube.
Got it here in NYC but there is no voice over bluetooth. Very pissed off about that. I was promised VOB when i purchased the phone in september and we finally get Froyo only to find thats not the case.
BOOOO SAMSUNG AND SPRINT!!!!!!!!!

So everyone is calling this the official Froyo update, meaning that this is the version that they are going to release via OTA in the coming days (hopefully, not weeks) to retail units not just dev? If that's the case why are so many people having issues with the update? Also, anyone else getting OTA updates? Just asking cause if it's the same one they are going to OTA without any changes I might as well just update right now.

Someone mentioned this in the Captivate forums, perhaps you can give it a try and report back:
nkrick said:
Unless I am mistaken, bluetooth voice dialing is not a native function of froyo, it is included in a google app that is only compatible with froyo. As with all google apps, carriers can choose whether or not to include it. If it is not pre-installed, it can be downloaded from the market.

This is not an 'official' release
A Sprint admin at the carrier's own user forum just posted a comment denying that there has been a release:
The official Sprint version of the upgrade has not been released. When it is, I will post a thread to the Samsung Epic forum and update the Samsung Epic Maintenance Release blog. If you want to receive a notification when it's available, subscribe to the blog.

Reports about the update officially being released...

I was just wondering if anyone received the official update yet?
www.bgr.com is reporting that the update is now available. So I just thought I'd ask.

new radio! thanks for sharing this.
I knew that all the people who were saying that it was offical that we were not getting the update were wrong. HTC never sent out any official notification sayignt that they were not updating the phone it was just some tech support guy's email who was obvioulsy clueless.
Finally. Oh boy here we go.
bring on the source code

Minutes after launch? My replacement phone gets here today unrooted so I might see if I can capture. If its not gb already.
Even if no source yet, we should get a newer radio, and a more optimized kernel!

I think I'm going to hold off until the developers get a chance with it. I'd hate to update to it and loss root temporarily.

I agree with gio. Don't forget that you could possibly lose root!
Technically even a rooted stock sense phone should receive the update as the updater isn't turned off/removed. At least thats the way the Eris worked. Unless unrevoked somehow turns off the updater when it roots the phone which I'm not aware of.

Alot of the Dinc ROM developers did turn off the updater back when the Froyo OTA was announced due to annoying, constant pop-ups. At least I know that rmk40 did with Virtuous.
This just added over at Android Central:
"Just got word about how the over-the-air rollout's going to take place. The push is scheduled to start Tuesday, Aug. 16, with an initial 10,000 updates. Another 50,000 will get it on Wednesday, and everybody else on Friday."

If you made a backup of your phone right after you rooted and before you installed a custom ROM like I did then what I'm saying is if you restore this first backup then you should get the update.
