http://www.areamobile.de/news/16376-android-2-2-fuer-galaxy-s-froyo-update-kommt-mitte-september
This german site apparantly has first-hand information that Samsung is planning to roll out the Froyo update mid-September, via Kies of course...
This makes me wonder how close to final the JPC update was...
Also, Kies ist just downloading an update (and taking forever to do it) which might also point at things approaching some kind of big release. I have no idea whether the GPS fixes and Lag fixes will be included in this mid-September release, but I'd guess it's pretty unlikely since the last info from Samsung was that they are "looking into it" implying that they don't really know yet. Maybe we'll at least see some improvement, test runs with Jm6, Jm7 and JPc indicate that GPS performance is being worked on at least.
We'll see what September will give us and then start hoping for October updates...
I'm watching the new version of Kies trickle on to my PC as I type... I was thinking the same... is this a new Kies which won't brick Bell user's phones when they try to upgrade to Froyo!? It seems finding out what's new will take a while though... been downloading this update for about an hour already... and still have 37meg to go! S

I suppose this is in line with the same line of announcements that were stating that a Korean Froyo would be available by end of August...
Mine just finished. So far all it's telling me is that I can't update from JPC...well...that#s not exactly new, but it also isn't mid-September yet...^^
I"m kinda noob @ android stuff , atm I got the Galaxy S rooted with lag fix is kies the only possibility to get the new offical froyo soon? so yes , is there anyway a good tutorial for how to use kies..
Thanks

I definitely think delaying past mid-September is a bad move. Many other high end phones using the official 2.2 builds for about a month or more.
Then again, the announcement on Korean Froyo turned out to give false hope to a guy like me. Someone was saying how Optus would be getting this because he heard from an Optus rep that they were. I stated at that time there are 3 days left in August and Korea hadn't been upgraded now we are entering the weekend and will probably end the weekend waking up on the 6th of Sept without Froyo, so if everything else gets delayed the same amount of time...it doesn't mean great things for the rollout.
That said, I do think the hardware is similar enough that I was originally surprised to hear they might get Froyo as many as two weeks before the next countr(y/ies). Maybe they will condense the rollout timeframe.
My Kies doesn´t find new version. Can anybody post the version number of the new one?
versionnumber is : 1.5.1.10074_45
Maybe a download link?
i have 1.5.1.10074_2 and it's the only one available on samsungmobile pages (at least for UK and my country)
mine isnt showing an update either. im running 1.5.1.10074_2
edit:
nevermind. i turned stuff on and off a few times and now its updating.
edit again:
it started doing a download or something. then after maybe 20 seconds it went away and the program restarted and its back to the old version and doesnt show any updates available. wtf..
Kies_1.5.1.10074_2_6 running
Shows as downloading Kies_1.5.1.10074.45
Definitely looking forward for the upgrafe. Mainly for flash.

Nice, I have been waiting for an announcement like this. Can't wait to get 2.2, mainly for the chrome2phone feature and of course Flash.
According to their blog on the Galaxy S, the 3 network in the UK have approved Froyo and are waiting for Samsung to upload it for distribution through Kies.
Woohoo if you're with 3 in the UK!
cant wait for this to come to the US!!!!

Why?
because then we will have an official froyo for our phones lol...if a galaxy s official version comes out for hte US, it means captivate isnt too far behind
just tried and no luck yet
I would quite like to flash the official one for my Galaxy S on 3...currently running JPM with Voodoo pre6 flashed via ODIN. How would I go about getting back the stock firmware so that I can update via KIES?
I was speaking to my brother today, we both have Galaxy's on T-Mobile but he lost his and had to claim another through insurance. He got it about 4 days ago and he has said his is running JP2 Froyo, this is how the phone was released from T-Mobile so Froyo can't be that far behind for us all now

It is more likely that you missed a step or two. So far, everyone seems to report improved performance varying from marginal to great. Try doing factory reset...as that seems to be standard procedure to go through after flashing a new firmware.

Not really, i had 3 goes before i decided to give up and followed the guides to the letter (inlcuding a factory reset before and after)
It is just that comparing to JM9 with voodoo, JPO is not that efficient.
The best results I got was with Doc's JPO Rom with ext4 lag fix, but battery performance was not that good (0.6% per hour idle vs 0.1% per hour on JM9) so I reverted back to JM9
I do have about 120 apps though so this may be affecting performance.
just phoned 3 uk and there sending me a direct download because i carnt see it in kies and its showing up on the three site as avaivable now. so lets see then if it arrives and i can use it. lol

Since upgrading to Gingerbread 2.3.3 I have noticed that there is a call delay on every incoming and outgoing call where you can´t hear the other person and the other person can´t hear you. This problem occurs for about 2 - 3 seconds.
I have seen this problem in different threads around XDA. There problem is also reported for Nexus One devices as you can see here:
http://www.google.com/support/forum...b1&hl=en&fid=110c873c8cdee0b10004a13fb277fc99
And here:
http://pocketnow.com/android/google-nexus-one-having-call-problem-on-gingerbread
I had this problem when i tried Darkys 10 RC 3 and the problem disapeared when I flashed back to Froyo but came back after Kies update to 2.3.3
If you have this problem, which GB release do you have and which country and network provider do you have?
GB Release: 2.3.3 JVB
Provides: Swedish Telia
Thank you!
Best Regards

i guess the issue is with Gingerbread in general...there is a thread going on in phandroid.com
http://phandroid.com/2011/04/18/i-got-99-problems-and-gingerbread-is-one/
I can confirm it with JVK. I hoped it is corrected in JVB.
I don't have this problem with JVB! Everthing works fine!
i also think it is fixed in JVB, did some calls yesterday and all was fine. JVK had delay.
if it`s really fixed, then samsung is the first. no other 2.3.3 rom has a fix for this, not even aosp.

Yes, it seems to bo related to Gingerbread and not just Galaxy S specific. But in my point of view, Samsung is the one that has the responsibility to fix this bug.
I suggest that everyone who has this problem report it to Samsung Support.

If you concern that memory management problem in JVK it's much more strange to release that.
The problem persists with JVB, not that obvious as in JVK though.
I've tried calling myself and speaking straight away and I could hear myself without a problem.
I'm on JVB by the way.
Edit : spoke too fast. There is an issue for me as well.
This is a known bug with Gingerbread, that Google recently declined, saying it was "device specific" (to the Nexus One).
However this problem is also being reportedly widely on the HTC Desire, as well as Samsung Galaxy devices.
I have posted a new issue, which is not attributed to a specific device.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=16230
Please comment and star this issue. And please specificy especially if your device is not the Nexus One, so that Google gets this message that this is a widespread Gingerbread bug, which has nothing to do with the device.
Thanks.
I can confirm this bug as well, on jvk.

This is a well known bug within every API-Lvl10 which was shown until now.
It wasn't fixed yet, neither in the early JVK nor in JVA/JVB.
But wasn't exactly this issue one of the reasons for the first GB delay?
But I'm very curious getting to know why this issue shouldn't affect the
VOD Versions as well^^ Probably only some "marketing related thing" there
The Google employee following up on the call delay issue, in the Google support forums, is asking people to fill out the following form, to gather information about how people are affected and on what devices.
http://goo.gl/10HJ1
definitely encountered this bug
i thought it was just bad signal or something
I didnt had it on JVK, 2 days on JVB and calling was impossible -.-
No call bug here.
Does anyone know if JVA have daily briefing? I'm looking for the latest gingerbread version
BTW, gingerbread battery life has been phenomenal for me so far. my first charge has lasted 1.5 days and I still have 50% left!!! (fairly light usage, but a bit of web-browsing, app installs etc).
Hi,
I don't know wether there's a problem with the KE7 update or wether there's a problem at Samsung NL but the KE7 update for dutch devices has been canceled.
http://twitter.com/#!/SamsungMobileNL/status/80985573371813889
This is rather strange because the update is being actively rolled out all around the globe except for NL.
There is a good reason it's been pulled.

I don't think it's because of an expected 2.3.4 update. This issue has been living for a few weeks now and only yesterday Samsung NL confirmed it was cancelled. Before that they insisted KE7 could be downloaded through Kies.
I don't think Samsung NL has any say over when firmware updates get released. Either that or there was a huge miscommunication.

It could be a specific network problem, eg last month the vodaphone network made many htc phones reboot all the time or a while ago when an apple update made iphones with certain dutch sims crash
Well... if i could only get KE3 or something in between KE2 and KE7!!
Here in Denmark, we are somehow forgotten - we are still running on KE2 and some of the old updates of the camera...
Also - no NFC-version of SGS2 for our country, as the Nexus 2 has sold badly (because of the LCD-screen installed opposed to the AMOLED, but still full price), and because of NFC is non-existent here (we have our own national travellers-card, which is very close to NFC-technology).
But the GT-i9100 has sold in great numbers, and is almost sold out anywere. So it seems odd to be left in the cold, when it comes to new updates...

No country has NFC. Google has announced they will introduce a new service which will require a special simcard to use. It would be unsensible to put NFC in the device when the standard isn't there yet and your NFC is goign to be useless down the road.
Also running KE2 on my NL imported SGS2.
I checked http://twitter.com/#!/SamsungMobileNL if they gave some more info but no reason is mentioned why they pulled it back.

I'm on the Spanish generic FOP sales code. They were nice enough to give us KE2. You could probably debrand to FOP, still keeping it region-specific but maybe getting slightly quicker updates.

I still prefer something more stable above something with issues , even when some things get upgraded I am sure Samsung knows what it is doing.
Since you have a carrier provided phone you are more or less more screwed than the people who have a carrier free unlocked phone.
Anyway nothing we can do but wait and inform each other , it's good to know there are still people without the updates ^^

Of course there are. Only the UK and India did get official KE7/KE8 updates through KIES. Maybe I forgot one or two countries, but most countries haven't released any official updates after KE2 yet. It seems that everyone feels that they're left out or something but that's clearly not what's happening here.

Lol. Yeah, I wasn't ready to pay 650 euros for the phone I got it on contract, resigning for a year, and 280 euros. Not bad. If I ever want to, I can debrand and get it as fast as you guys ^^ But I'm not interested in doing that at the moment. Not even rooting! My phone is fantastic. I have no issues apart from the wifi sharing / battery life debacle, but not even your KF1 fixes that at the moment! So I'm good for the time being hehe.
I absolutely love this phone. I see near 0 drawbacks (battery life being an exception, but it doesn't bother me TOO much. I get about 24 hours, maybe a little less usage).
Regardless, it's still a very new phone. Hopefully Samsung will being to push out their monthly updates soon. hehe.
I got this update this morning via OTA.
XWKI1
Android version2.3.4

lolololololol
What firmware were you on before?
try plugging in to kies to see what it says?
XXKF3
If you could remember i was on this Dummy update so i decided to go back to xxkf3 this morning . Immediately after installing through odin i checked for update via OTA and i got this
Nothing here,i run KE7 2.3.3
Has anyone else got it ?
Somehow you have ended up with a test phone i reckon .

You mean the phone i bought from very.co.uk for 600pounds with my own money should be a test phone.

You are lucky, on the Sensation forums there was a guy who bought a Sensation and got by accident an eng off, rooted phone whilst the rest of the world was stuck with a locked bootloader.
I guess for devs your phone could be worth more than what you paid for it
Well maybe am lucky. I was wondering really why i get the update before everybody. The last time was xxkh5 which samsung manage to change to a dummy update. But this time i have learnt my leason .
what provider you you have? csc?

Do a system dump of the firmware!!!!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
We think that these updates are only meant for Samsung staff and some how your phone got added to the list of test phones -- it explains why you and nobody else gets them.
My guess this happen because you installed a leaked firmware from samfirmware.com. Remember these leaked firmware could be test builds for internal staff use only. May be something happened on this leaked firmware that got your phone added to the list of staff test phones.
Are there any new great and wonderful features you can see in this update? (It could be months and months before they release any updates for the rest of us!)
Tweet from Samfirmware.com: First roms with Android 2.3.5 for Galaxy S II will be online this month.
Robbielicious has got the leaked firmware, but it's not yet ready for release: "in my possesiosn but in my believe not worthy o releasing just yet"
Darky's crew are now working with Samfirmware.com (i9000 version released about an hour ago) so I imagine the i9100 version will be released as soon as it is ready.
The ki1 update
The update is quiet good. The new goodies on the update are something
1. on the top where the 3g is , we have h+ and R . It really helps me a lot because formally when i visit our basement at my working place i normally lost connection. after i have to reboot my phone but in this case no more rebooting. The batterie life is very amaizing. Internet super fast.
Thanks samsung for the great work done.
