I have been following samsung mobile on twitter and haven't heard anyone really talk about the 2.2 rom after that rumor of it being released dec 26 2010. Anyone heard anything else?

Forum mod has asked people specifically to stop posting these threads. When there is any real indication of Froyo coming, it will be posted.
I've read many blogs, twitter feeds, and comments about this. All I've heard is that even though it's still not ready, it's still being tested. It seems as though they're trying to iron out all of the kinks so that every phone gets the update smoothly and that EVERYTHING works. That goes for all Galaxy S phones, and not just the Epic 4G.
However, in my opinion, it seems as though they're taking their damn sweet time. Can't figure out if Samsung has incompetent programmers, management, or both. However, on the bright side, atleast Samsung is letting us know what's up and not COMPLETELY leaving us in the dark. Although, they're not setting a deadline other than "when it's done" nonsense.
In terms of whether or not it's the carrier's problem really isn't correct. I would assume the carriers don't care as long as the phone can comply with certain guidelines (AKA no hot spotting unless you pay for it), then it's good to go.
Remember, even though most of us are salivating for a new upgrade, I'd say most people have no idea that a new one is in the making. If you say all of your friends know about the upcoming upgrade, you have some mighty geeky friends!
My guess is that it should roll out in the next couple of weeks. Hell, they've had since August to work on the damn upgrade. My guess is that Samsung has a crappy programming staff, ****ty management, and limited budget for upgrading phones.
That's my take on the big mess. Here's hoping it comes soon and works as they promised.

Wow, another one of these posts. Reported.
Again I will say it. Why isnt there a dedicated sticky that deals with ALL froyo speculation? All of these threads could be merged with it and all speculation could happen inside of it. Where are the mods and what are they doing? I know its not an easy job to do, but it seems like no one is in charge of this forum at all. No sticky linking to the wiki or a basic guide so that noobs can set up their phone easier. No sticky dealing with froyo speculation. Why not just add another moderator if you need the help?

. . . . . LOL
I am thinking you cannot make people stop commenting about something if that is what they want to talk about. Perhaps a sticky at the top of this section of the forum with the official status of froyo 2.2 has or has not been released yet so PLEASE don't ask anymore. We will change the topic of this post the first thing when it is released to let you know it is available.
I am not telling anyone what to do, I am simply trying to offer ideas towards a solution to this problem.
Exactly. Have a sticky where people CAN discuss Froyo speculation, and then any threads that are STILL posted to general can just get merged with that sticky thread or deleted.
Instead of childish responses, why arent these threads just closed. Is there no type of moderation here?

Dear Mods, I will not insult you anymore about Froyo. I'm soo over it and flash to Custom Roms weeks ago. So you don't have to say a word about these threads being started. Just Close them and ask questions later or hell don't ask or explain why you closed them. Just Do IT!

EA04 would mean it was completed 2 days ago. So 3-6 more months of testing and 30-40 more versions and we should have a final release.

There should be another mod in ADDITION to him. I think that is the point.
Sprint will only release Froyo when there are no new xda "when is froyo coming out?" posts for an entire day. Unfortunately, at this rate it may never be released.
Looks like Kenneth from Briefmobile has identified a release in July for the Atrix 4g. In addition, it appears, we won't be going straight to 2.3.4 after all. It'll start with 2.3.3.
For once, I think it would be nice to have the latest release on our Atrix, but I suppose that's a bit much to ask. Here's to hoping it's not a July 31 release date.

AT&T only?
It took Australia 4 months to get the Atrix released here, I live in hope that it doesn't take Telstra/Motorola an extra 4 months to release the 2.3.3 update.
However, living in hope only leads to disappointment.
Too bad it's not 2.3.4... I really can't imagine there are enough changes in that version that it would take so long to put blur on it.
Means August or September for us on Bell. Maybe.
Sigh.
Well, they did say they planned to release Gingerbread to the Atrix for USA and Europe simultaneously............don't know if that included Canada lol

The discussion for this is already going on in Kenneths thread in the development forum where he announced this news in an update. Why create another thread to clutter things up when the owner of the information already updated it the day before you posted this???

A software release discussion is more beneficial to users here in the general section. Since I'm not a developer or have any interest in coding I don't spend any time there. It's not "cluttering" anything up.

I would disagree............all the good news comes from the developer forum, and if you don't read there, you will not learn anything, or have any root, sideloading, etc. because that's where everything is regarding that. Kenneths thread is open discussion about the impending updates, etc. He is not developing it, now is he?...............but it is a development regarding the Atrix nonetheless.

I didn't say he was developing it but the assumption is that the developer section is for people that want to code custom ROMs, hax, etc. There are plenty of general users that aren't advanced that are looking for information and come to the general section.

Sorry, but the "rumor" thread is nothing but pages and pages of total crap about every phone in the world except the Epic, then the same guys that post all the garbage complain when people can't find something Epic related and they start a new thread. Makes no sense.

This is still the Epic forum and that thread is a zillion pages of everything BUT the Epic. So, the original post of that thread may be on topic, the rest is all off-topic garbage that belongs somewhere else.
Zander, your OP in the rumor thread is nice because the links are all right there. However discussion about the topics it too splintered thoughout the thread. I honestly would rather see Epic related general topics each have their own thread where the posts are about that one topic. I think your thread is great for topics like what new phones are coming, or things about sprints future 4g plans, and things like that.
I wish the people that frequent your thread could just leave everyone else alone and not complain when someone starts an Epic related topic that has already had a mention in your thread.
I for one, only look at the OP of your thread just to find the links.
Not complaining, just my 2 cents.

You’ll find many new features (read the CHANGELOG) and support for building on 68 devices! Upgrading from any previous CM-7 release or nightly build should be smooth and no wipe should be required.
While thats not a lie, it is not for atrix, just thought i would but that out there for whomever reads this
Hey you should post this in the ATRIX forums since it still doesn't support the ATRIX and it'd be completely useless to post it there. Wait you already did ok good.

If you read the article it says that "many devices are in beta status"; I'm pretty sure they're including the Atrix in that category. It's just a matter of time before we get official support.

Wrong wrong wrong. There is so much misinformation in this thread. What we currently have on the Atrix is an UNOFFICIAL or KANG port of CM7 for the Atrix. It is not officially sanctioned by the CM7 team. So until this build is acknowledged and supported by the CM7 team it will remain unofficial.

Old post by the CM team, but still applies to this port.

Except he is right if he is referring to the OFFICIAL CM7 team not supporting the Atrix. Fact is, the Atrix is totally unsupported by the official CM7 team. What we currently have is a beta version of a KANG/Unofficial port of CM7 to the Atrix.

Well... for one, probably because the existence of CM7.1 was was already front-page news on XDA. That, and probably because posting information about a BUILD of CyanogenMod that's not currently usable on the Atrix is just leading to false hopes when people click the thread. Kinda like how in another forum someone got upset because i made a post about Dark Souls on PS3 in a thread labeled Dark Souls, however it was in a PC gaming topic rather than console gaming... thus instilling false hope of a PC version of one of the most wicked games EVER.
Since a lot of people don't seem to know that JT1134 has released a version of Android 4 ICS on RootzWiki (since he didn't create a thread here) I figured I'd create one with a link and try to keep it updated when a new version comes out.
This is daily driver quality already. Only issues are: Outbound MMS is non-functional, Video recording is non-functional.
Go here:
jt1134 refuses to post his work on XDA due to a long-running dispute over the flaming that goes on here (ironically his ICS thread over on Rootzwiki is full of what chopper the dog calls "noobsause"). In any case, if he refuses to post his work here, how do you think he'd feel about someone else doing so? I don't mean any harm, because I'm sure you didn't know about this and you're just trying to be helpful, but in the future, you'll profit from asking the dev first if he'll let you post his work here.
Has anyone seen John Connor?

The OP didn't post Jt's work. He posted a link to Jt's thread. Big difference.
Come on everyone. No need to be fighting with one another over a link to a thread at another site. Nitsuj and Gizmo are right. Gfosco didn't post a download link for the ROM. What gfosco did is no different than someone asking "hey I heard jt made an ics rom for the fascinate but I don't see it here" and gfosco replied, "It's over at rootzwiki." There may be fascinate users who do not stray away from XDA much and gfosco is simply doing the community a service by making everyone aware of the ROM and where to find it. Thumbs up gfosco (just remember, the link isn't ROM development so this thread should have gone in general )
Not be repetitive or continue this BS thread, but there already *is* a thread in General for jt's ICS...
It's more like someone asking "where's jt's thread" in a completely unrelated *dev* thread when it's already been answered after a dozen other folks made the same request in that same *dev* thread.
Some folks may be a tad over-reactive, but considering what we've already lost at XDA, isn't that *more* forgivable than the folks behind the very reason we've lost so much???
