Froyo- November. http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/21/...carri/?utm_source=engadget&utm_medium=twitter

great find! I'm willing to wait as long as they make it better. I have to wait anyway since I'm rooted so "early November" may not hold true. Hopefully rooted roms won't be too far behind.
not sure why it is taking so long since Verizon will have the Samsung Continuum next week which is already running 2.2 stock. or, at least thats what has been leaked.
Continuum is running 2.1....

I don't mean to be a killjoy, but I would like to point out that the way this press release is worded, I believe it ONLY applies to the I9000 model, which is the European Galaxy S. One reason I think that is because it states it will be available via Kies, which is not used for OTA distribution for the US versions. Also, every US version has unique features that have to be accounted for in developing the release.
Now, I'm not saying that we won't get Froyo in November, just that this press release from Samgung proves nothing in that regard. Due to carrier customizations, I'm waiting for a press release either directly from Verizon, or from Samsung that specifically mentions Verizon and/or the Fascinate by name.

Yeah no one can really come away from that with any facts. Just opinions. I mean they do state it will be Coming to all variants of the galaxy s. The problem is the use phrases like "we expect it to be to all carriers by the end of November" not "it will be to all carriers by........" so that's a little suspect. Like I said in my last thread ill ever write about froyo for this phone, its sad that they put some of the most potent hardware ever made with the ****tiest software ever and the normal lackluster Samsung amount of support. Due to the support I will not buy another Samsung phone. I can't remember exact dates I've had all of the last 5 major VZW phones they released on launch day.(D,DInc,DC, D2, and now fascinate) this phone came out almost a month after the D2 launched with froyo? If the Galaxy S is Samsung's flagship what were they doing with all this extra time they took to launch it after all of the other galaxy s phones. Again camera is great, camcorder is awesome screen is amazing, GPU is the absolutely best available in a mobile device, and the use RFS and this bull**** software and the topped it off with almost a year old software in eclair? Wtf. Ill be keeping this until LTE comes out. Praying that one of the first LTE phones that comes out isn't Samsung BC then ill be waiting long. Anyway. Rant off. Here's to hoping and praying we actually see froyo sometime, if anytime on our phones.

I can't believe anyone still believes this yarn today. The Engadget story was debunked all over the internet yesterday, for example in this thread on the XDA Vibrant forum.
Basically, Engadget was wrong. Again.
The press release they based that on clearly came from the Samsung subsidiary in the UK and Ireland. The announcement's scope was for "all operators" there. None of it applies to the U.S. carriers. The Twitter sites for Samsung USA confirmed later yesterday that the UK announcement did not apply here, and reiterated what Samsung USA has said all along: Froyo will be deployed in the U.S. sometime this year.
Engadget is irresponsible, a day an a half later, for not correcting the erroneous story.
It’s been confirmed that Samsung’s pushing out the upgrade to Android 2.2 to their Galaxy S and Galaxy A in their home turf of South Korea right now. (It wasn’t said if this included the carrier-specific offerings, so we’ll assume that those are excluded, for now.) Those on Vodafone may also be seeing the upgrade to Android 2.2 very soon as they’ve started pushing their specific upgrade out to their customers. This follows the widescale European rollout for unbranded/carrier-agnostic Galaxy S devices not too long ago. Be on the lookout for these upgrades and let out a big sigh of relief after you’ve received them. Then let’s hope Samsung gets things rolling a bit quicker for the impending Gingerbread release.

According to an article on tgdaily.com, Froyo will be available from Samsung at 8PM tonight. Quote from the article:
Samsung has announced that later tonight, at 8:00 PM, a download will become available to SamsungMobile.com that will be compatible with all Galaxy S devices, upgrading them to Android 2.2.

I won't flame. the article states that it "should" be compatible with all SGS phones. I don't know, it's been such a ordeal with Samsung/Tmo dragging their feet. Yes, this is better than "this guy i know who knows a guy said we were getting it on xxx" but it still doesn't give us a set date. This just says that SGS phones will get it, very vague with Vibrant/Fascinate/Epic/Captivate phones. We'll see I g uess.
I was going to head over to PinkBerry around 7, but I guess I can wait until 8.
Wait, what's all this phone talk about?
I guess their timezones are off by a few weeks, I am running Froyo for at least a week and a half.

I'm not asking for any tracking no, just need a confirmation at moment that its shipped. I really don't know what to talk about this company at the moment. We all have waited so long with false hope. At-least NI don't fails us again.

...all kidding aside, I'm really hoping they got the shipments out and just haven't updated things. With the holidays going in in China right now, it could REALLY slow things down and I'm not interested in waiting any longer.

And to the topic of the thread, there hasn't been any change in my order status lately. (Moved from the 9th to the 15th-22nd window to the 29th.)

Yeah, I am not going to wait if my order gets pushed back again. This is getting rediculous. Their are so many great tablets coming out and if I can't get my Adam soon I am going to go else where. Don't get me wrong, I really want the Adam but I feel add if notion ink thinks that everyone is going to put up with continual delays without giving us any info as to what's going on. They should at least give us an update as it is the 29th.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I honestly cannot see us (the 9th > 15th-22nd > 29th club) getting their Adams for at least 2 weeks - Chinese New Year.
A shameful lack of communication from NI and hve you guys realised the "cancel your order has been removed from the NI preorder update page.
I have been a loyal follower for 9 months, I'm just disappointed to say I no longer believe anything posted by Rohan regarding hardware specs and especially shipping dates.
Rohan Shravan just outright refuses to update on shipping which is an enormous worry. The last he said was "2nd and 3rd" batches would ship on time and then slips in the Chinese New Year problem.
I don't even have a pre-order so i am thinking April+ for me(and many others) to have a chance to get one.
I don't envy Mr. Shravan to much, he must be under much stress from all directions.
Well, maybe........
- I read somewhere that a notification will be send only after it arrived in Hong Kong, not out of the fabric
- The cancellation link from our preordersite has been removed
- Rohan said in his blog the 2nd batch will be in time
- There is no statement of delay such as the last delay (12 seconds before end of day)
- Chinese New Year starts on tuesday?
So maybe, just maybe we will get our trackingmail on monday, the last day before Chinese New Year???
Fingers crossed :-o
Leon
I read someone in NotionAddicts requested a cancellation on the shipping date, and was told (s)he could still cancel as his (her) Adam was not shipped.
So, I rather assume the shipment was delayed without any notice / a change in the estimated shipping date on the NI site than get disappointed.
I'm pretty sure Rohan stated on the blog that all the Adams would be shipped out even during the chinese new year. And that a small batch of screens got busted on their way over, but the company that makes them will stay and fix the ones that got broken before they leave for the new year.
Here's his quote taken from the blog:
"The second & third phase of shipments will start on time.
Little bad and good news, one of our shipments for the touch screens got damaged while transportation which is going to effect a fraction of our customers. To make things worse, its New Year in China and every manufacturing plant is closed. But our touch-screen partners, Sinotek (also known as Sintek), will stay open for the Chinese New Year and re-manufacture all the remaining touch screens to deliver. I am making this special note, because we are really overwhelm at their response and want to thank all the employees at their firm who are going to miss their New Year celebrations and home visits."
So have hope! At least you made it into the pre orders. I have to wait until they open it up to the public.
Okay its already been confirmed that the desire HD will be receiving Ice Cream Sandwich soon. Here is the thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1488915 . I came across a article on cnet that possible dates for HTC's Sensation 4G and Amaze 4G which is June 16th. Here is the article: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57...-for-t-mobile-devices-revealed/?tag=txt;title . So what I think is that if those phone are receiving the wonderful ICS at that time, So should Desire HD. Now this is all based on theory but We are that much closer.
If this thread is a waste of time feel free to say so, cause I'm new at this. The last thing I need is a bad rep. BUT LIKE I SAID THIS IS ALL THEORY. NOT OFFICIAL
I bid farewell and I love this community.
I'm confused. Are you saying we will get the update the same time as the Sensaation on the 16th June?
What i mean is that a number of HTC devices are receiving ICS soon. In theory like I said, since a bundle of devices are getting ICS, so should Desire HD. I'm not saying that we will be getting it at the same time but HTC seems to be giving ICS around that time. So we might be getting ICS very soon. ALL THIS IS THEORY LIKE I SAID. :3
I doubt HTC are in Any Rush, The Phone has had It's day, even the development is dead on it, and many people are moving on to Newer phones, But it will probably be June or July time.

Reading the cnet link that you have shared, i think they are pertaining to those devices that aare locked (branded) with T-Mobile. Unbranded/unlocked devices always receive the updates first than the branded ones. So if the target dates are right and your theory is also correct, I would say that the unbranded devices will be recieving the updates a month or weeks earlier than june 16..
Last year the update from Froyo to Gingerbread was started on 4 May.

Well from all the comments shown, the predictions are pointed towards this summer. Summer is just a blink away, I'm sure it will come soon. Cause HTC is all about customer satisfaction. HOHOHOHOHOHOH
I also think it will come in the next weeks, HTC's last act for our tremendous DHD.
Hope they want to cross that task from their ToDo early...
While I certainly wish they bring out a official ICS port, I doubt it. Why would they bother? Everyone that would be dissapointed by missing official support already is.
Our Device is close to 18 months old and they are releasing new flagship devices right now.

Manufacturers usually don't announce something and take it away. If they don't want to offer something or aren't sure they just say it's "under consideration." For months sometimes. In addition the U.S. carriers have all published a list of Samsung devices to be updated and all the G-Tabs other than the original 7" are on it. If Samsung was just kidding I'd doubt they'd take the U.S. carriers down with them.

So true. I've had the same experience with different manufacturers, and they are pretty much the same, depending on which device you choose. As soon as they have new products on the market, they tend to put other products on the backburner. Sad but true. Only thing you can do to create a difference, is complaining to the manufacturers again and again, and not on forums.. that want do nothing for nobody..
Still put my two cents in Samsung.. so we can get a working camera

If only it would please them to stop competing with LG for the Delayed Update Award, we'd be in business.
What freaks me out is we still havent seen a single leak.. while its by far the most popular 1st gen Android tablet.
The only reason I see for this is "a" build exists, it isnt being tested anywhere but in Samsung very own labs;
Not a single carrier or anything close to it has yet got to test it on its network. =(
I dont see it poping up on my tab overnight even if Bell says I should be hopefull. This is going to be a long summer.
Guys, you'll get your update, the TAB 10.1 is a popular device and all the 2011 line got the update or is getting it...
See my situation :
- My Tab 10.1v wil NEVER get updated.
- My EU Atrix will probably NEVER get updated while the US will get the update...late 2012.
- My wife's Ray got the update : it's filled with bugs, features that are not activated (auto light, auto flash) and it's super slow although the device is barely less powerful than the Nexus S.
So shut up, spoiled kids...
I hope Samsung will not act like Motorola.

That would put them well over 2 months late. When they first announced it they said 1Q which would of been March. Now I feel they are sitting on the update until the tab 10.1 v 2 has had some time to sell. They are basically the exact same hardware.
