full Froyo or press release.

I've been noticing a lot of the apps on the market stating that we all have press release versions of Froyo. Is this true?

Can you give some examples?
Haven't seen this.

yeah, PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!

yeah really
also is that picture of yours gordon freeman?

look at nexus mod...
and look at this http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/android-2-2s-froyo-goodness-hitting-the-nexus-one-already/ check out the 3rd update
We've done some additional investigation, and as far as we can tell, Google is only updating review Nexus Ones that had been provided to the press -- not off-the-shelf phones. We'll stay on this and let you know more as soon as we do.

this the only thing that made me believe it:

If that turns out to be the case, we will get the new file so we can flash it; if not we can alway download the old 2.1 update file, flash and then let the OTA hit the phone.

Really? I thought everyone interested enough in tinkering with gadgets (aka nerds, JK ) knew Freeman, the famous silent protagonist armed with the mighty crowbar. Or maybe I'm just getting old and ppl don't play PC games anymore.
Anyway, hopefully a new rom will come. I still have problems mounting the SD card which sometimes causes crashes. And also missing market links.

Guys, let's continue the discussion in the older thread, too many duplicate threads being created... lets keep all in one place. Thanks though.

Sprint is dropping more hints about a 2.2 update, but still no solid info

I saw the comparison sheet for the EVO shift today. It compares the EVO Shift, EVO, Epic to T-Mobile's myTouch and G2. At the bottom of the page it says "Coming soon Android 2.2 for Samsung Epic 4G. Details to follow."
They sure do love to string us along.

When it comes to Froyo, the operative phrase is 'tickling our a** with a feather.'

It is on Sprint's dealer portal, which most of you can't get in to. If someone wants to host it, I can send it along.

Can u print screen it or submit a picture?

Had to download PrintKey, because Windows and Paint didn't like me using Print Screen with dual displays. Something about not enough ram when I still have nearly a gig free. Anyway, here's a screen shot. It's big. I'm in 1440x900.
edit: Well, crap. XDA resizes pictures when they're posted. What I'm talking about is in that little yellow bubble on the right.

Wow could you be more of a **** in your response? Someone already posted your 'hard-earned' information that is basic forum know-how. So I applaud your first grade spelling and use of childish internet colloquialisms.
As to my prior response, again I would be willing to host the image on any number of image hosting sites. Thank you for the update and giving us access to your insider information!

LMAO, yes it does. No 1 fn told you the difference between posting a picture by uploading it to xda, and hosting it somewhere else to use an img tag. There is no url for the pic. If the picture was already on the web somewhere, I could have used an img tag. But when you add a pic to a post as an attachment, it resizes it for you.
So, I've gone and hosted it at imgur. Here's your pic.

Nice pic, thanks!! again would thank u but stupid thank limit is bugging me and i dont remeber even hitting it 5 times today ;/
i wonder when the detail will follow, keep us informed if details follow on that site Digi..

At this point, once froyo source drops, I want a gingerbread rom! I hope ACS Team pulls it off.

+1 I would thank as well but am also out. lol oh well. As for the picture...I find the phrasing 'details to follow' to be odd as it generally implies details will be following in very short succession. To echo david, I would be much obliged if you could check this page again later and give us an update if the details really do follow! Thanks again!

Oh OK, probably does the same thing...

Indeed, but would be nice to how it actually looks from the SGS2 (and a few other things, like whether the input device screen can be turned off etc).

that is so sweet! and so smooth
although it was all in French i made out most of what they were saying

The UI really looks smooth. Better than the early demos we saw.

s2 with face recogniser option

hey frnds for those who doesnt know, s2 has face recogniser option to unlock the phone
as a new user i cnt post the link so copy paste this
2011MWC Samsung GALAXY S II (S2) 更強大更驚人~

They seem to have gone all out for the "Security" marketing tag.

What other features?
Never live in the past but always learn from it.

Their whole point to introduce this device as a security featured phone that can be adopted in the corporate world. Hardware encryption, the use of Webex for secure meetings, Kies security for remote management.

Well face unlock is a really bad feature since it usually works with pictures too... If they fixed that, it is a great feature.

wow, thats crappy.... We will have to wait and see how it functions.

i'll say they should replace it with a Eye Retina Scan
put your eye right next to the back camera
flash
recognition scan

A New Video With Galaxy Tab 10.1

It's the thin version.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdu5PVjCGo0

thanks, that display does look good against the ipad 2

It also looks like stock honeycomb with no Samsung ui on top of it.
Sent this message from my Samsung Vibrant running 2.2 stock!

Seeing as this is the first time the thin 10.1 has been in public with a working OS, it is probably still an unpolished version. There were a few times when it didn't seem that responsive (could be with the way the person was using it) but hopefully, whatever quirks, laginess etc is in the device can be ironed out by the time it is released publicly.

Damn ... I want it now

They said it would be at launch with the "UX" update coming soon after.

My only issue is that the screen was.... glossy. Maybe it's just the color of the wallpaper. I hope not!

Um... no, I'm pretty sure it's gonna stay glossy, lol. However, the display looks amazing. It may even be iPad quality~
Edit: Im lying, I honestly can't tell from the video. Though the viewing angles do look fine.

It's not the viewing angles, it's the lights that were reflected on it. Not a problem for me, just other people I feel bad for.
One of the main reason's I'll buy this tablet is the screen.

What..? What do you mean "It's not the viewing angles.. it's the lights...", I know that lol. The reflection of the lights has to do with the glossy screen. I am very curious to know if this model of the tab is even using the PLS screen~
Honeycomb seemed very smooth here. In videos of the Xoom this wasn't always the case.

That looks awesome.

Its too bad someone can't go to properties and check out the processor.

I was wondering that myself....

I'm surprised this video hasn't made its way onto the popular tech sites. Many people kept claiming that "Samsung is lying.", that they probably couldn't even get the tablets this thin for real. And now here is the proof and there is only one small little thread for it over here at xda.
