Samsung Mobile UK Froyo end of November

Hi everyone, sorry for not getting this to you sooner. 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. Let us know if you have any questions. Many thanks, Samsung.

Hit Twitter about 10 minutes ago too. Pity that so many misunderstood the below statement to mean that we'd have Froyo this week...
In the UK market, we are currently in final stages with our testing to ensure the upgrade is as smooth an experience as possible. Further information in relation to roll-out will be available early next week.

Oh ffs Samsung, if it's taking this long to get sorted they'd better rename their Froyo variant 'Frank' (as in Spencer)...

If it's for a better froyo I'm happy to wait

samsung uk message differs from rumours about samsung retweaking Froyo.
if they were retweaking, then samsung uk wouldnt possess Froyo atm to test compatibility with all operators..

In twitter: "The Froyo upgrade will be available in the UK from early November and we expect all operator versions to be available by the end of November."
Operator versions will come later

just out of curiocity, what vendor is good with firmware upgrades?
i have been through pretty much every major mobile phone manufacturer (except apple), and samsung seems to be the best (re unofficial support, leaked releases etc) when it comes to firmware upgrades
is apple so much better?
what is your experience with other vendors?

The "problem" with Android is that development is pretty much out in the open and there are multiple phone manufacturers using the OS. So people know exactly what they are waiting for and if one manufacturer releases their update earlier, the other phone owners get all jumpy
This is not an issue with Apple because no-one really waits for any updates... heh.
PS: Well, the iOS 4.0 'multi-tasking' (ahem) was kind of being eagerly awaited. Still waiting for my iPad update though.

Its hard to answer, because all the manufacturers screwed the updates, EVO 4g (htc) had problems with froyo,Droid X had problems...but I think HTC its the best

I don't think so. Too much lie.
I think we will get Froyo in 2011.

I gave up on HTC some time ago... HTC was A LOT worse. The final "drop" was when they refused to release the 3D drivers and this community ended fixing it for them. I'll never never go back to HTC. The worst support I've ever seen...
Disclaimer: This is based on my experience and a couple of friends which also have the same opinion.

IMO, HTC decline started when they switched to Qualcomm (since htc tytn ii). And yes, HTC support is bad. No more HTC.. and maybe no more Samsung if they will not fix the annoying lags in decent time.

Screw letting operators "tweak" froyo. Orange uk filled the internal memory of the galaxy s with so much undeleatable crap you have no option but to root. Please people just do a registary hack and get normal samsung froyo. I'm in the uk and had a branded orange phone but no more

Here's the full press release...
New Android 2.2 Upgrade Announced for Samsung Galaxy S
Latest Platform upgrade provides enhanced experience on the go
LONDON , UK – October 21, 2010 – Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., a leading mobile phone provider, today announces the Android™ 2.2 (Froyo) upgrade to the Samsung Galaxy S, giving users access to new features, enhanced navigation applications and improved, faster performance.
The super-slim Galaxy S is an award winning ultra-lightweight large screen Android smartphone. The Galaxy S features an incredible 4-inch Super AMOLED screen and a super-fast 1 GHz application processor, for an intelligent, immersive and integrated mobile experience. The Samsung Galaxy S has led the Android smartphone market since its UK launch this summer.
The Android 2.2 upgrade enhances the great experience of the Galaxy S, making even more of the processor speed, and the exclusive Super AMOLED screen.
The key benefits include:
Improved browser performance: enhances browsing, navigation and the 'pinch and zoom' feature
Enhanced user interface adding vivid colours and features to the android menu structure
Google Maps with Navigation: A GPS navigation system with voice guidance for a turn-by-turn navigation
Adobe Flash Player 10.1: the latest Flash Player for viewing video content
Enhanced user experience including message editing and the ability to save applications to memory card
Search in-browser: Google™, Translate, Wikipedia, Dictionary
Getting the upgrade
The Android 2.2 upgrade, will be available via Kies, Samsung's in-house software upgrade programme. Samsung has developed a brand new version of Kies which will be issued to make the upgrade experience as smooth as possible. The new version of Kies will be downloadable from www.samsungmobile.co.uk
Samsung will also be publishing video tutorials on how to upgrade, providing a step-by-step guide to the simple download process.
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.
Simon Stanford, Managing Director, Mobile, Samsung UK and Ireland, comments; 'Samsung are committed to providing our customers with the best possible mobile experience, and this upgrade enhances the incredible features of the Galaxy S handset. We also want the upgrade process to be simple and hassle-free for customers, hence the new version of our Kies software and the step-by-step video guides.'

I haven't updated, I thoghut we only had to wait a few more days :/ but using my friends phone found one reason there might be more delays.
You cannot put a UK address into the current official rom (kies hack for nordic release) it only offers a state and zip code field.
and the zip code ONLY accepts numbers only (std zip code format) but in the UK we have post codes instead, using a-z,0-9. So UK users can't actually store any full address in contacts atm.
He never stores addresses so he hadn't noticed this.

well one more week and we shall see, im more than happy to have hands on the UK unbranded froyo edition lol
Jumping reg hacked froyo soon...

From having travelled south korea for a month recently I can tell you the advertising for the galaxy s is HUGE there. Samsung basically owns the country, almost all tv's washing machines and so forth are samsung.
But...There is very little market presence from htc or apple, maybe they dont realise what the western market expects from their phones nowadays?
Then again they are an absolutely massive company...how can they not have solved this by now

i think 2011 is spot on but in think it would be released just a shy of 2012 and gingerbread probably never as its burnt in the oven.

As long as it is before December 12th 2012, because after that, we would all die in the upcomming apocalypse and SGS would be the last of our concern when burning in eternal damnation for our sins [...]

Official: no Android 4.0 for Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab (according to SamMobile)

From SamMobile.com:
"Samsung has announced that both the Galaxy S and the Galaxy Tab can handle the upgrade to Android 4.0 when looking purely at speed of the device.
However the upgrade will not arrive on these devices simply because certain hardware features will not function.
The quantity of RAM and ROM in this is a big factor.
Some of the Touhwizz functions Samsung uses will not work when combined with Android 4.0 and one of these devices."

Let the discussions begin!

I wasn't really expecting ICS :/ I guess this just makes it official that we won't get it.

yup.. i'm running an early alpha of a CM9 based ICS on my Tab and it runs fine for not having hardware acceleration etc. So I know the same applies for the Epic. Sad that Samsuck just doesn't feel like putting the effort into supporting their devices.. Oh well, hooray capitalism! =P

So, here is their source for the story:
http://www.samsungtomorrow.com/2043
It's in Korean, and reading it through google translate of babelfish is good for a chuckle.
As I interpret it, they say that the Nexus S works because it requires no carrier customization , Touchwiz or region specific features.
Also, from the babel fish translation:
"The soluble memory dosage is insufficient and will provide a satisfied use environment
There is not a possibility.
This considers the hardware evening sunlight, use environment of optimum to the customers provision
Description below being a selection which is inevitable for to understand, wishes."
I think that may mean the phone is near end of life (hardware evening sunlight)
and customers wouldn't like how ICS runs on this hardware anyway.
Oh well, we'll see how CM9 runs.

I not surprise... That's why I didn't get the galaxy tab 10.1 because im tied of Samsung BS..

Maybe, if there is an ICS port in the next 6 months that's smooth and fully functional I'd go there. But I'm moving on to LTE asap.

Just means no "official" ICS, I'm sure devs will have something for it. I would imagine that most of the people that know what they're missing will be on to new phones by then anyway.

Hopefully they can pull off cm9 for the gs series.

Samsung just keeps on giving!

This is just Samsung being downright LAZY. Heck the Nexus S is getting ICS from them right? And that is most definitely a Galaxy S phone. They just don't want to be bothered to support the Galaxy S line as a whole anymore clearly.

If we didn't have to worry about touchwiz... it would be here by now... why do we need it when the UI of ICS is far superior. At the very least release the driver source files so that devs can do it for you... Samsung needs to be more open to developers in that regard.

Keep in mind that this isn't just Samsung's pickiness about having their TW branding. This is also a product of carrier demands. Carriers do NOT like (for the most part) unbranded, undifferentiated phones, and they especially don't like phones that aren't preloaded with software that represents services they provide.
Frankly, I was always convinced that arrangements such as VZN's with the NFL required them to have the app on all relevant phones. The NFL is anal like that.
IOW, it's a LOT of different factors coming together keeping ICS off of Galaxy S phones, many of which are problems with how the smartphone industry itself has come to work, and targeting one player while ignoring the bigger picture--though it sure makes life easier for journalists and bloggers--cheapens the whole conversation.

Galaxy S II ICS Update Rolls Out Today in Select Countries

See at source:
http://www.theverge.com/2012/3/12/2...-4-0-update-korea-today-sweden-poland-hungary
"As promised, Samsung is finally rolling out Android 4.0 to Galaxy S II users in South Korea today, and has also announced the first details of European availablity. Poland, Sweden, and Hungary will also be getting the update today, with more countries on the way — and the UK could be one of the next up. A tweet from Brendan Arndt of UK carrier Three has revealed that their final build of Ice Cream Sandwich is currently undergoing internal testing."
I'm sure all of you know what this means for us Note users. Can't be much longer now before we see ICS. Looks like Samsung might make good on its estimate for ICS delivery.

Taken from Twitter
Well March 10 came and went without the Ice Cream Sandwich update for the Galaxy S II, but hey what’s a few extra days? If you remember, we posted that earlier today a tweet was pulled by SK Telecom announcing that ICS would arrive on March 13. It was pulled because Samsung wanted to make the official announcement, which they just did via Twitter and Facebook. Here’s what they said on Facebook:
We’re thrilled to announce that Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich will be served to GALAXY S II users in the European countries including Poland, Hungary and Sweden, as well as Korea today, and gradually roll out to other markets.
ICS for GALAXY Note, GALAXY S II LTE, GALAXY Tab 8.9 and 10.1 will follow soon.
In addition, we’ll also offer Android 2.3 Gingerbread firmware upgrades for GALAXY S, GALAXY Tab 7″, GALAXY S Plus, GALAXY S SCL (Super Clear LCD) and GALAXY W from end March. The firmware upgrades for GALAXY S, for example, include Face Unlock, Snapshot, Photo Editor, and others.
The availability and scheduling of the software update and specific models upgradeable to Android 4.0 will vary by market and wireless carriers’ requirements.
I would expect to see the Galaxy Note and others to get ICS by May. If you’re in the U.S., you’re probably wondering when ICS will make its way stateside. Unfortunately I don’t have any confidence that we will get a taste until at least the Summer.
Also the Gingerbread firmware update for the Galaxy S, Galaxy Tab, etc. is quite interesting in that Face Unlock and Photo Editor will make it’s way to these devices. It’s unlikely these devices will ever see ICS, but at least Samsung is trying to bring some its features to these devices.
Source - TalkAndroid

ICS in the USA is at the hands of the CARRIERS. I wouldn't count on Verizon or AT&T releasing it unless it snows in July LOL.
Another reason to buy full price, international versions. Most will get any updates way before (if ever) a carrier branded version.
Heck, I got my note in late December and have had 3 updates (GB). The carrier notes have had how many updates? Not sure, but are they even on 2.3.6?

Cosmetically different.

Imilka's asop is something worth trying out. It has somebugs but not a big issue. However still find GB roms to be better and faster.

New browser and hardware acceleration alone makes me want ics, not to mention the other features.

I really dont understand what makes Samsung take so long for Note, if they have already done with SII. My opinion: except the S Pen app remaining things on Note are similar to SII. Porting S Pen should not take much time.

Unfortunately just Samsung releasing the an ICS rom for our tabs won't fix in a single thing in cm9 until Samsung releases the kernel source code that they have to by law(GPL licencing). This kernel source code is what will allow developers to get the camera working on cm9. Samsung seems to release the source code within a couple of weeks after an official rom release. Which sounds bad, but unfortunately Samsung is one of the fastest companies to release source code, some can take months. Even with the source code, to get the camera to work on cm9 will take a lot of effort to do, it's not just as simple as dragging and dropping something and could take a little to a lot of time to fix. With out this source code, an official ICS rom is meaningless for development of cm9. In other words even after we get ICS from Samsung, we still have a long and bumpy ride. I hope this helps you

connected to kies and no update was found....sad face
Got my hopes up for nothing almost time to root agen

I have a completely stock "4G" rogers tab and nothing so far.

Thanks for the quick updates everyone! I'm hoping to get this before my trip on wednesday but I probably shouldn't hold my breath.
I currently have a CM9 kang on here, if I follow the overcome instructions to get back to stock, will that leave me with stock US or is it generic? What differentiates the two models?
Cheers

I just got an update on my WiFi Tab 10.1, but it's not ICS... it says Android 3.2. The update gave me a new back button (it's curved now) and a new app called AllShare. Was this an update that I totally missed that came out earlier? When did it come out?
Also, when ICS does come, will I get it sooner OTA or via Kies?

Damn Canadians!!! lol jk

saw an update after engadgets news about ics update, was excited until i realized it is not ics its just 3.2 after it finished update

Damn this thread! It is making me restore my backup I made in anticipation of ICS lol

Bit of a rant: somewhat disappointed with the eternal delays. Don't really care for JB specifically as much as the touchwiz enhancements, improved Samsung keyboard (swiping+numbers row in one) and contact load up delay fix.
When the original Note came out, everybody said forget about touchwiz upgrades, Samsung never did it in the past, upgrading to another major version. We kind of accepted it. The majority of us were still content with having this little (big) wonder.
And then came some touchwiz updates with ICS. Shortly after, we were promised S III and Note 2 like features in the JB update. That was when? back in October or November? Which kind of set our hopes high, and got me thinking 'Well done Samsung, that's a good one'
Now it's just silly how low a priority Samsung has given the Note following the Note 2 release. Although I hate how apple controls and restricts its devices, you got to give it to them: they do maintain a reasonably steady stream of updates.
So here's hoping Germany's will be out somewhat faster than 1st of March (or a little later, or whenever, or whatever )

If you're buying a flagship device (like the Note and GS2 were) then you should expect at least 2 major OS updates imo. iPhones normally get 2 or 3 so top end Android devices should get the same in order to keep up with the competition.

You forgot that Apple develops its own software for their own hardware
And iOs never had so many new features in one update as android has. Look, jb brought all new experience with project butter and ics made the ui really good.
What makes apple? Multitasking in one year, folders in next one, than cydia and notification Drawer... So, I hope you understand what I mean.
And to the op, although I leave in Germany, I was born and lived in Ukraine for 15 years, and what I can say:don't trust them.

iOS was just updated to 6.1. iPhone 3GS, which came out in 2008 with iOS 2.0, is still supported and updated today. Support and updates for android devices is utter crap compared to what apple does. It's a shame. and needs to change.
