Updating to 1.6??

I just rooted and rommed my MT3G to Cyanogen 6, and it works great, but I have a notice to update to 1.6. Isn't my phone at 2.1? Should I update?

You received a notice on your phone to update to 1.6?
I wouldn't. Although eventually you probably won't have a choice because if you keep putting it off it'll install itself.
This is the first that I've heard of. Especially since all devices already have 1.6 installed. By any chance did you do anything at all to modify the build.prop file?

Not all exactly true, ive never noticed updates come through to my phone but as you said all devices have 1.6, only after 3-5 months of the device coming out, i got mine from vodafone a couple of weeks after it coming out, it came with 1.5. But now running CM6.0.0-DS-RC2, although its only an experimental release it is very stable.

I used to get them back in the JF days.
So I don't see why you can't still get the OTA updates today.
Just because you never noticed doesn't mean it can't happen.

Galaxy S Official Froyo coming mid September

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.

For all those looking grab it here http://www.samsung.de/de/support/detail.aspx?aguid=47e29085-4dff-4b5c-b8ab-dd9b9c8b70f8&dl=software

It would be nice if a changelog for Kies versions would be available.
Version 1.5.1.10074.45 is probably not official for SGS since it's not available under SGS's support pages, I'm wondering what have they fixed or changed.
But it probably couldn't get worse since Kies is a very shi*ty piece of sw...

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.

weird update

Two weeks ago i received the ji6 update
last night, my phone received a firmware update
i thought it was the froyo update
i installed the new firmware
once i installed it, i noticed i was missing features
i no longer had the task manager or media Hub
i checked my phone's info and the firmware update actually brought me back to 2.1 update1
Anyone have any idea what's going on?

Both the original JFD and the OTA JI6 (as well as all the intermediary leaked firmwares) are 2.1 update1. 2.1 update1 denotes the current revision of Eclair itself, while JFD and JI6 denote revisions of Samsung's verion of 2.1 update1.
So take a peek again and see which version of Samsung's baseband is installed.

it says T959UVJFD

To see your baseband and firmware versions, make sure to use Settings/About Phone..
Seems like we're serving as test beds for the Sammy dev's, maybe not such a bad thing.The j16 update fixed my hardware locked phone. I'm hoping they resolve the battery draining issues before, or with 2.2.

Well, it's safe to say for whatever reason your back on the stock firmware the phone shipped with...

Happened to me as well, its because JI6 was pulled for being "not so great" (it was bricking too many phones)

I know this isn't a Cliq forum but my wife is getting an operating system update on her Cliq right now - I wonder if she is beating me to Froyo??!
Edit: I suppose she is actually getting eclair.

This may be a dumb question but: should I be worried that this hasn't happened to me as of yet?

A buddy of mine has had three updates on his. Weird.

Do you have any actual evidence to support the claim that JI6 was "pulled" (I assume you mean by TMO/Samsung)?

JI6 was never pulled and it is actually a great update. Sped the phone up a bit, added some new things, and made the GPS decent. Besides the bricking (which was probably user error) no problems.

Have to disagree with the "great update" part. lol
But as far as the update being pulled, with no word from T-Mo of it being pulled I called BS. Furthermore, why would they push an update to phones and revert them back to JFD? Doesn't make sense.

Same thing happened to me this AM. I recieved an exchange unit yesterday, because after the JI6 update, the GPS still would fluctuate all over the map which was especially frustrating when navigating because the app would continuously reroute you. Received the exchange unit, got it set up the way my old phone was, and made sure to check the baseband version. It had JI6. Woke up this morning with an icon similar to the missed call icon, clicked on it, and it said there was a new update from TMobile. Performed update which took about 10 minutes, then checked to see what was different. Checked the basband version and it is now T959UVJFD. Checked GPS with GPS status, and I have strong signal from 13 satelites, but only locked on to 2 with 143 ft accuracy... Last night before the update had accuracy to 12 ft. WTF!

Have you contacted TMO support? If not, why not?
Love to hear what they have to say.

I got an OTA last night and now I am running Windows Phone 7, some weird stuff happening here 0.o

Possible Theory
While I haven't received either the official OTA, nor the mysterious overnight one, I have a question. Is it possible that the overnight push to revert is an attempt at scrubbing the unofficial JI6 updates from the phone only to install the actual official one? So if we chose to update through Kies originally when it was leaked or some other method, could the be T-mobiles way of resetting and executing?

I was kind of thinking the same thing. Is this T-mobiles attempt to flush out the bad update? But why waste the resources to push out a revert "update" to phones? Who knows, it's some kind of consipiracy.

A poster on another forum claims the same reversion OTA just happened on his phone, and it wasn't even rooted, which wouldn't fit your theory. Although just getting all the relevant facts in these situations is often the biggest obstacle.

Maybe they need to roll us back in preparation for Froyo?
I know, I know, it makes no sense, but none of this makes sense.

Yes, I contacted them. They gave me some BS reason that I was reverted, and told me that they would put me on a list to get the JI6 update, and that it would take 2-3 days, so who knows....

Got my Dell Streak today... it has version 1.6

I returned my Sony Xperia X10 back to Best Buy today, (main reason being the 1.6 version and wanted bigger screen). At Best Buy, none of the phones are live, so you have to take the salesman word for it. He said the Streak "should" have the 2.1 version.
NOPE!!! I get home turn it on and check... it's version 1.6.
What is with Dell??? This is an year old version now.
If I can't update between now and two weeks when my 30 days is up... I'll take it back.
So far, I like this phone... but I'd like to get it to enclair or gingerbread.

You just have to go in settings-->info about the phone --> updates...
And now you have Froyo.

A friend of mines first streak broke (home button stopped working) so they sent him a new one. Last week I met up with him to update it and the OTA update wasnt there.
I messaged someone i know about dell asking if the update was pulled and he said its still rolling out over the next 2-3 weeks and there will be a blog post over at direct2dell soon.
BUT if you don't want to wait for it to reach your device, search on here and modaco and you can find the proper ota update.pkg. Just d/l it, put it on your sd card, reboot the streak, hold both volume buttons, select option 2 and it'll flash 2.2
Since its an official release from dell, it should work just fine (did so on my friends red streak). No flashing lights, no issues, and if dell releases another OTA it should receive it with no issues.

Under the Streak wiki, you should find a link to the 340 update to get Froyo 2.2 on your phone. You can't click on the link, you need to manually type it into the phone.
Or the official can be found here:
http://mobileupdate.dell.com/PackageProductionLocations/Streak_340_14844_31.pkg
Again, type it in manually into your streak and it should update.

PdaNet won't work?
Hey guys! Thanks for the responses. I was on the road all day traveling from N WA to S OR for a funeral taking place Friday. Just got to looking here on the forum.
I'll keep the phone. I'm impressed with it so far just running 1.6
The screen is just GREAT. Much better than the Sony X10 I had.
My only complaint is getting PdaNet to work on it. Won't accept the modem driver. I had no trouble installing & using PdaNet with the Backflip, iphone3 and Sony X10 before this phone???
I'll update the version when I get back home Sunday.
I went into a large Verizon store in Salem to look around today and the manager asked what phone I had, and I told her that I had the Dell streak. She asked to see it and she was very impressed. She hadn't seen one before and said it looked better than anything she had in the store. That surprised me coming from the competition. Didn't try to sell me a phone at all.
Well, it is off to bed. I'll be hanging here once I get back home and I think I'm gonna like it here.

Yea, same here... Got my streak yesterday and it was on 1.6 too... the software update screen said the same "No Software Updates available at this time" too... so I gave Dell Mobility a call at 1 800 624 9896 and told them I'd like to receive the update link sent to my email address.... which it turns out was the 340 ver for AT&T which I went ahead and downloaded from the XDA Streak Wiki and transferred to the phone and renamed to Update.pkg and performed the update via the vol +/- and power buttons and selected update (#2).... 15 minutes later - Froyo goodness (such as it is under AT&T)
Next stop: rooting!

A new AT&T software update pending...

I just setup my AT&T s7 edge today. All has been great for the past 6 hours. Now my sm-g935a just downloaded a new at&t software update.
Anyone have this same update today or get this installed yet? Do we know what it includes? I will dig around for more details myself, maybe my phone was behind in updates.
UPDATE/EDIT: I think for me it might be a security patch. Noticing I am Android security patch level Sept 1, 2016. Is this the current?

Current AT&T patch for S7e is 11/01/2016. I checked last week and there was no update for Dec.

Good luck getting it to go through, I had to go to at&t online and have them force push the update earlier this week, then the touch on the phone went out and couldn't use certain parts of the keyboard. Replacement phone I got, they can't even get the update to force over.

And you still aren't up to date. There's an APK1 update from November that won't go through unless you call or chat with them. I gave up trying to get rid of it; the first S7 Edge I got on Christmas Eve, updated it to APK1 and rooted it, crashed 5 times in 10 days, then the touch sensor on the lower right went out. Then, tried to update to the October software, rooted, crashed, reset and Odined the September software, rooted, fine.

Why is it not allowed through or I'm not seeing it?

I have APK1, just got the phone today. I can root on APK1 right? Been searching for a few hours now and haven't found a definitive answer. If you could point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I considered rooting to uninstall all the junk ware. It seems though it can be somewhat risky. Plus it seems to give some buggy results and given the s7 is not perfect in any way, I'm personally settled to just leave it the way it is. Was hoping that update I saw last night was a prelude to a nougat upgrade.

I just came from the Note 7... Well I still have it... Anyway I don't mind buggy processes and or Idc about tripping Knox either lol. This phone is gonna be my play phone till the Note 8 comes out :cyclops:
