[Q] When do you think DJ05 will be released?

What is your best guess on when it will come out?

What makes you hesitant to try it?

I'm going to say it won't come out at all as the minor issues with it will cause VZW to reject it until those issues are fixed, and at that point, they will decide to just incorporate the positives from DJ05 into the Froyo.

I don't want to void my warranty and I am a new android user so I don't know very much.

+1, they're just gonna build on top of it, and release 2.2 altogether.

Haha.... It looks like I'm not the only impatient one. I have certainly held myself back this time and haven't give for the leaked DJ05. I'll wait for official release on .zip as I'm on custom rom.

What's a DJ05?

Amen scriz WTF... can't read bold writing in a sticky. Besides I heard DJ05 was a virus. that VZW was going to use to nuke all of our phones. Then they will offer us the DX, but it will be infected with an unknown virus right next to the mouthpiece. Once it has been inhaled we will begin massive group hallucinations that we are at a Kenny G concert. Suddenly, Rick Sanchez comes on stage and begins a rant against the Daily Show and we all agree with him that Jon Stewart is a bigot and Sarah Palin should be President. We go to the voting booth and begin to process our votes when we realize that we did not get dressed and the polling place is a strip club with zombie strippers clawing at our junk. Bust out the good old baseball bat and start killing zombies. Just then your mom walks in and catches you masturbating in the bathroom and screams. Mom!!! all I wanted was DJ05!!

DJ05 is a figment of your imagination. Its not real. Everyone who doesn't know Verizon is releasing android 2.3 gingerbread next week for the fascinate.

No ROMs or updates for this phone will be incredibly worthwhile at ALL until Froyo comes around.
Virtually all of those ROMs out there are just ROMs that I could patch together myself, on my stock Fascinate ROM.
DJ05 offers some improvements, but doesn't really help the big problem(s) of not having Frozen Yogurt on "the fastest phone around".
This is supposed to be a top-of-the-line Android phone, on Verizon.
My HTC Eris sports 2.2. It's a sad time for Android users to be stuck with 2.1 on a beautiful brand new handset like the Fascinate.
Once we get CyanogenMod and other worhtwhile ROMs ported, life will be better.
The point? Waiting for DJ05 is like waiting for 'a few bug fixes' - when we really are holding our breath for Froyo.
I hope it all comes out at once, soon. I'll be saddened and disheartened to go into 2011 without Froyo, when I got this phone to be on the cutting edge. Not on the introductory-android-phone-OS edge.

You lie, its Honeycomb and its coming out tomorrow

Froyo, gingerbread, honeycomb I don't even care short these anymore I just got the Mr. Misty OTA and it's the shiz. Only problem with it is that when I look at it too long or scroll too fast I get a brain freeze.

That was the absolute best read I've had in a long time. Thank you!

Okay... My patience finally ran out today. I could not hold out anymore. I gave in. Thanks to some very good folks on IRC, I installed the update today. And the verdict is: I'm so glad that I did. The phone is even smoother than it already was and the gps problem that I was experiencing after flashing a custom rom a few weeks ago is also gone now. Sweet!!

On second thought. Why would samsung OTA us to 2.3, by doing so that would make the Nexus S just another Vibrant over at T-Mobile.

My understanding is that the Nexus S (like the Nexus One) is a stripped down, super-phone, demonstration of new technology and in this case the most notable difference would be the form factor and the NFC. I think Sammy would face more backlash from consumers for ignoring hardware customers already paid for so as to make a new product with near-identical hardware better.

I would assume to have a 2.3 powerhouse phone on all major carriers for bragging and sales purposes. Would make a ton of sense.

From the article:
While only a rumor, he's usually spot on and the tweet does seem very plausible so we wouldn't be surprised if Samsung Galaxy S phones (Captivate, Fascinate, Epic 4G and Vibrant) will beat HTC and Motorola devices to Android 2.3.

Personally, I'd never heard of him but I've requested to follow him on twitter. In the end we'll just have to wait and see but it would be nice. If this update were coming soon I think there would be some RCs floating around but seeing as we have Froyo ones and a 'near-official' OTA update that went to .4 phones its hard to know if we'll skip 2.2 and go right to 2.3. I want this to happen but the evidence I have right now would seem to go against this.

I honestly though don't care about gingerbread all that much. I'm planning to have this phone for awhile. It does everything I need with ease. Big difference from when I had the Moment and from day 1 felt the need to smash it into a wall because of how slow and laggy it was. I would hope samsung realizes this isn't a phone to cut ties with because it defintely has staying power even after it's superceded by something faster on paper but probably only marginably faster in real world use.

So if you're wondering why Samsung hasn't bothered upgrading most of its smartphons to Android 2.2 Froyo yet then this could be the reason. Let's see if Samsung leapfrogs to Android Gingerbread before the holidays or not.

if we skip straight to 2.3 I will start rescuing kittens!!!!

With how good samsung did with sales from all the galaxy s phones, i wouldnt be surprised that they would do this.. that would be so sweet to have gingerbread on epic and since its on the nexus s with samehardware screen and stats, makes sense they could upgrade all variants epic will definitly be the top of the line if it got gingerbread, but also i agree with the poster above about caring less as long as i have a good running phone with 2.2 ill be set til the dual core processors come out and another top of the line phone comes out for sprint next year or 2 years,

Indeed. I spent months reading about how my Mytouch was getting Eclair only to be let down every time. I will say that if they do leapfrog 2.2 and get my device up-to-android-date then when I buy my fiancee's new phone in about a month she'll be getting a Sammy device. Otherwise, I'm not going to get her a phone that's always out-of-date.

Now if we dont receive an update b4 january first for anything this might prove that we will have gingerbread later and prove that they skipped froyo.
I mean if they dont give us froyo b4 the end of the year like they promised, they could be working on gingerbread we shall see by the end of this month.

The only thing I am not looking forward to is the possible return of these forums turning into unreadable garbage of people trolling, fighting and starting multiple threads about when or why Gingerbread is/isn't on the epic.
This thread has been nice though.

Fascinate Getting Gingerbread 2.3 Instead of Froyo 2.2

I just spoke to a Rep at the Verizon store in Humble, Texas named Isabel. She told me that she spoke to their Samsung Rep today and he told her that they are skipping the Froyo update and going straight to Gingerbread. No word on when though.
There phone number is 281-446-0415 if anyone would like to call and verify.

This **** is getting old .... let's please stop with these threads.

Stuff like this means nothing. We've seen things like this one too many times. Take nothing they say at face value, because it's already been proven to be false a majority of the time in the past.

Samsung reps and Verizon reps don't know much more than we do. Take anything they say with a grain of salt.

until I unrooted and gave it to my wife

it would be a huge victory for Samsung to pass on froyo and release GB within the week. It would catapult them past HTC and motorola in the significance area of Android development. I think they need to do this if they want to regain lost respect.
Since Nexus S is galaxy S with GB on it already and is basically 99.9 the same as our phone, I definitely think it's doable. I would definitely prefer gingerbread. I want it just for the newer copy/paste feature.

God man, all this misinformation. Let me clear it up for you. We are most likely NOT going to skip froyo (2.2). Gingerbread (2.3) has ALREADY BEEN RELEASED and it is on a phone called the Nexus S on T-Mobile USA. Honeycomb (2.4 or 3.0) is for tablets in its current form. Man, this getting ridiculous.

It will feel horrible because it will be a buggy mess. Let them get Froyo sorted out before they begin to use this as a buggy base of their Gingerbread build. I do believe Samsung will deliver Gingerbread, but dont even think it will be before Summer 2011. I have nothing against Samsung really. They could do better with software support though. And you will find ridiculous skepticism among people at XDA for anything positive that is "supposed" to be coming from Samsung in the future.

Thats true, well then, I guess, well just wait and see, anybody else want to share opinions?

updates!
I personally do NOT think we will ever see another update past froyo...
We might get a froyo update to fix bugs and what not but as far as 2.3 ect, they will leave the epic by the wayside and focus on the galaxy S2 series and other newer phones. The epic was just a complete failure and they know it, thats why they are come out with galaxy S2.

well idk, its a tough call...
took a long time for froyo...
but then you can look at it like "well samsung sees how the US folk are all pissed off so they might start trying to release more updates bla bla"
if the epic does get gingerbread, dont expect any update past that..because past that Samsung will expect us to do our part and buy another Samsung device.

I think personally Gingerbread will come just to rebuild some goodwill with the people of this country. Then maybe with that, we would buy the next uber Samsung phone. At least by getting Froyo, my Evo owning friend can now shut up how his Evo is soooooo much better than my Epic because it hbas Froyo (even after showing him my pics and videos look better, screen looks nicer, can play more vido formats natively) because that was the only thing he could point at. Now we're even.

If Gingerbread comes, it's not going to be for a while; otherwise, why would they have bothered releasing FroYo?

They must be getting close. Also samfirmware indicated there would be multiple leaks before the end of the month. There is still a chance that final will be done by the predicted date even though prior history doesn't point to the likelihood of that.

I went from "GB? Who cares?" to "GB! Awesome!" almost to "Whatever." Hope reviews are great and prerooted flash packages are in supply. The pre-Froyo urgency just isn't there but at least they're working on it. And maybe it really does squeeze much more performance out of it.

They don't need to be releasing any final version until they finally get the GPS crash/force close bug fixed, that'll be a deal breaker for thousands of people if they release anything official with that issue still in play.

Exactly my thinking. All these people annoyed at another new build, meanwhile the one we have still doesn't work. Are they expecting Samsung to release it full of holes? With the current version rebooting and having no function GPS, I'm happy to see new versions hitting. Means hopefully they're actually working on the problem.

I still can't understand how what is now a legacy device can possibly give their engineers such problems with the modem and other comm chipsets. It looked to be all solidified in Froyo and now for GB it's the biggest boogeyman?! What are they trying to do...?

The problem isn't how many builds they're making, it's how long will it take them to get it right this time. No one wants the froyo situation to repeat itself with gingerbread.
