Froyo is here

official rollouts starting next week. I work for t-mobile so don't take my word for it

:hmmm: I'm not saying your wrong, but why would they put out JI6 today, if they were going to release froyo in a week?
I'll believe it when i see it.

Just to comment on your question, the JI6 update could very well be needed for a clear and stable path to a froyo upgrade.

This is just another troll. The JI6 update will be rolled to everyone throughout October. There is no way Froyo is coming until everyone gets JI6, so at least not until November, chances are probably even later.
I second the ban. As people get banned for Froyo trolling, we will see less and less. (Hopefully.)

Thanks OP.

TBH, this actually would make sense. Hopefully J16 is just a gateway and we'll see Froyo by months end or Even Nov. Wasn't Nov the "speculated" date from the UK site?

Frodo the hobbit update is being rolled out this week.

If you don't believe him, good for you... but you don't need to get offensive and insult people, respect if you want people to respect YOU.

But he said don't take his word for it. I hope he is just being sarcastic, otherwise, it is pretty much just another trolling attempt.

Maybe its true maybe its not but the first guy on the forum that said he got an update got called a liar and all sorts of things until people noticed it was true I didn't see one apology to him either in my opinion I hope it is true and if it is thanks for the info and if its not maybe he just got bad info himself NO BIG DEAL!

I agree with you man
All this guy/girl do is just come to XDA and talk crap to everyone, everywhere I go he/she is talking like if they were the ***.
Seriously get a life or stop insulting people.

I love logging in and seeing threads flamed left and right...hey kids go home until you learn to play nice with everyone....
Yea sent from this mobile thinggy =p

IF the OP, is legit, he's probably just got his updates confused. Maybe he heard he heard about the update that's bring sent and assumed froyo.
Otherwise he's like the guy who posted he knew there was no gps update coming until nov, lol.

I actually hopethis is true...but a lass I have yet to recieve the gps fix update yet.

Where is the OP now? I am so tired of these people that think they are part of the "in the know" crowd making these claims, being wrong, and then not even bothering to apologize.
I hope it teaches all the noobs a lesson: Don't believe anything until you see it. The world is full of DAs like this that want to be the first to announce something and be part of the cool crowd.
Vdub804 - you just created a not-to flattering reputation for yourself, so you better get a new screen name at XDA.

Nope. But he was asked over twitter by tmobile to look at their jobs. I think that is a pretty good recommendation. However not sure if Krylon will look or not. Just thought it was cool.

wow, getting a job through twitter. awesome

Don't do it Krylon! Then you won't be able to post leaks anymore!!!

Heh, yeah, I thought it was kinda funny also. Might apply, just to see what they would do.

I don't get why t-mo is the one offering him a job. If anyone I'd think samsung or google.

It's a trap! LOL you got their attention

lol this is what exactly what i thought. tmobile may want krylon because they know he is one of the main sources for leaks. taking this job would most likely force him to do what TMO tells him to do.

Ec05 update 03/24/2011

Read several threads where people spoke with Sprint reps. They said there was an issue with EC05 so they pushed it back till the 24th. If this means anything from Sprint those on the East Coast wait till the 25th and if you get a update before please let everyone know.

It would be nice if Sprint has some idea what it means to communicate with their customers and post this officially. God forbid they keep us in the loop.
Company communication SUCKS in general these days, which is REALLY sad considering how many mediums we have to communicate with!

This is me speculating...but I don't think its been pushed back.
The update started on the 21st to be delivered through to the 24th. I would think that the reps are telling people the 24th b/c there's nothing they can do but have us wait and they don't want people calling repeatedly.

I can see your point of view. However has anyone received an stock EC05 update as of yet? Everyone reporting nothing. No one has publish a update.zip file at all.

Dude, you do realize the people that go to XDA are in the minority. Most people could care less when and if their phone is updated. They don't look at the next update as a cure to all their ills.
I would say 9 out of ten Epic owners have no idea what XDA even is.

seriously?!?!?! aww crap balls

I'm sure we have a ton of lurkers who'd never post.
Either way - We have two reports on various forums of someone receiving the update. There is also one tweet from someone about 16 hours ago. I imagine they start out slow and increase the size of the batches as they update.
The next 12 hours will be very telling I think.

i want to mail them a box of my sh%t! this really pisses me off
god more lies...LIES!...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyE4CLM0QIA

If you got an a message to update then post the update.zip. For gods sake man, everyone has waited and I haven't seen anyone post a file or a message about getting a real update. All I seen was the leak, and it is not what people want. If we got the stock we could root it and post it out there for others. Thats whats this forum is all about helping others. Positive and helpful comments only. If Sprint wanted everyone to have it there would be tons of posts about getting EC05. So far nothing and NO update file. Look in /cache and the root of your sdcard. I am sure Sprint has a script at the end that deletes the file. If you don't have root explorer write me back and I can seen you the apk. We really need to know if this is the real deal though!

evo now shipping with 2.3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

evo 4g now ships with 2.3 thats what the sprint lady just said on sprint.com. she said the update will come to our phones in about 1 week! or u can go to the htc website and download it. but i checked the htc website theres an ad that says theres a new update for the evo!!! but theres no download link which sucks. the sprint website says 2.3 so it shouldnt be long

Im sure it was a mix up like they said. Also think evo will be getting a OTA tho so that it can keep up with the latest and greatest.

hahahaha look now, Sprint edited it back. Theyre calling it an "unfortunate misprint" but I have a feeling it was a leak. Honestly I'm not sure how you can post in four different locations that the Evo 4G now has Android 2.3 and have it just be a mistake? Anyone else think thats a little excessive for an accident?

A lot of people are gonna be pissed when they open the box and the phone is running froyo.

Better than opening it and having it running eclair

Well nothing a custom rom,kernal and mods can't fix.

So does this offically start at midnight or will it be tomorrow morning?

Call me a cynic, but based off their history, there's a pretty good chance that Samsung/Sprint might screw this one up like Froyo and we might have it pulled.

Good find! Let's see if Sprint updates their website tonight.

Hooray! I will be interested to see what the Airrave notification fix is.

what was the EAS HTML Tagging issue that they fixed ?

If ei22 is final the gps still sucks without the fix. Unless the modem fixes that. I'm not a dev so I don't

If you are using EAS (push emal with Microsoft Exchange) you can have the problem where the email is in plain text formatting but the HTML tags are included <BR><BR> as an example. We use Exchange 2003 at our office and its been a problem. Solution is to root and install Fascinate's email. I like the Fascinate email program better anyway.

So the first 5 days of the rollout, only 11% of the users will see the update total? Wow, we should all go back to stock tonight so we can make sure at least one of us grabs it.

From what i read 100% over 8 days. hxxp://m.androidcentral.com/gingerbread-sprint-epic-4g-begins-rolling-out-tomorrow-nov-9-rumor
