World Release! Android 2.2 FROYO on the Samsung Galaxy S. Tomorrow 12 o'clock'. AMSTERDAM
twitter.com/SamsungFirmware
At the look of this I suspect that getting 2.2 sent OTA for the Vibrant shouldn't be too far behind.
This is awesome, I heard the vibrant is supposed to get froyo early august. I am impressed with samsung, they are ready stepping up.
Do you think we would still get the update if we rooted the vibrant?

I'm pretty sure read somewhere on the forums that confirmed that even if you root it, you should still receive OTA's. However, might want to find someone that could confirm that. I'm about to go pick up my Vibrant, im so excited!

I don't see why rooting should stop you from getting the update.
If you have done more than just rooting, then I'm assuming you might have trouble getting the OTA update. Maybe someone more knowledgeable can chime in.
EDIT: By "more than just rooting", I mean if you have installed a custom bootloader or a custom rom.
Cool beans!

Yeah, but if you install it, you will lose root. There will be a modified rom that's rooted VERY shortly after it is released though (Probably before many get the OTA update).
Wow, that was quick! Glad to see Samsung is following through with their promise and fast.
Hopefully the Vibrant will get a release in early August.
if this also includes a GPS fix, i'll be picking up a vibrant within the next week or two... after i pay AT&T my last payment on that contract. whoo!!

Hope so! though t mobile will want to get their hands on it before we see an OTA, of course once a vibrant/captive compatible version hits the internet, we will see a flash ready in no time.
great news!
lol. saw this thread and looked at my twitter tab and the tweet was there waiting for me.
awesome. too bad this isn't for the vibrant. right? just the international?
Non OTA related
This is not official in any capacity. How is this related to OTA release when feed is hosted by samsung-firmware.webs ?
This is so awesome thanks for the info.
SAMSUNG BEAST VIBRANT ™ XDA APP
there should be no reason for those who rooted to not recieve an ota update. however, if you flashed a custom kernal/radio then those ota's might've been disabled.
Anyone noticed this?

Looks like there is already a newer version firmware for vibrant. Mine is JFD. The latest on that page is JFE. Or, that's just a demo page...

Good point.

Samsung UK We know you are all eagerly awaiting the Froyo updates, and we appreciate your patience. The network testing of the Galaxy S Froyo upgrade is proceeding according to the schedule we released last week (we expect all UK customers to receive their upgrade by the end of November). We can confirm that the software we’re working on includes a solution to the Froyo Android Market issue which has been widely discussed.
http://www.facebook.com/roger.pitman#!/SamsungUK
Mmm, same thing on twitter.
Really not liking that 'end of Nov' part.
Just read this too, good news if they can keep to their word. Makes sense that they pulled it after the initial release to sort out the market issue, doesn't say about any other problems people have experienced but I guess they just want to get this out now and then tweak it more if necessary later.
We know the final build is done as they have released the japanese version with 2.2, so it must be about upgrading thats causing the problem. Just like people on here have said once they did a clean install it works pretty well, so they must want to make sure its ok when moving from eclair to froyo
End of november? Gasp
The nicest thing is, that market problem is not even related to the phone itself. My mate, who has a desire has the exact same problem with the market "download unsuccessful" problem....if this is what they are talking about...

I think it is the problem where the Market does not show up in app drawer or on screen after update.
They replied to the fb thread with
'Samsung UK Hi Davinder and Darren. We're releasing Froyo from the beginning of November and we're expecting all networks to have it by the end of November.'
November 8 samsung is releasing a 2.3 device and they will take till november end to release a froyo update wtf is wrong with samsung......
None of this makes sense! Does it?

Do they mean the unlocked galaxy s or the carrier galaxy s, unlocked was meant to be out at beginning of November and the carrier version was meant to be out at the end of November and the post states the update is on time?

someone posted "Sareen Patel ヅ woop woop but its taking ages but does it fix the lag and gps issues?"
and samsung replied with
"Samsung UK Hi Sareen, the key benefits of Froyo will include Google maps with navigation, as well as improved browser performance."
I guess it doesn't fix the lag and gps issues then as they totally dodged the question.

It's the same news as before...
Where do you see a link to an official samsung's statement on this?
You have to make a difference between rumors that looks like news and real official statements :|
It's going to be released on Nov 8th? I through it was just being announced on that date?
Samsung are being totaly retarded about this update. This is what happens when you go from making tv's to making smartphones. I wonder if they will makes wait another year and update dirctly to gingerbread :/

I received my phone this Tuesday on e2save.
Is there anyway to return the phone if the GPS does not work?
I'm thinking of getting this new "Nexus" coming out so Google make my software...
The development section is crawling with rumors that someone got this update today. Only one person has confirmed the OTA update and no one else on the dev forum has received it.
Click here to see the original thread.
Has anyone here received it yet?
WOW is all I have to say. Start a new thread for what point? To give the troll a bit more to laugh at you about?

On another note this release appears to come with the new youtube.
Got it here in NYC but there is no voice over bluetooth. Very pissed off about that. I was promised VOB when i purchased the phone in september and we finally get Froyo only to find thats not the case.

So everyone is calling this the official Froyo update, meaning that this is the version that they are going to release via OTA in the coming days (hopefully, not weeks) to retail units not just dev? If that's the case why are so many people having issues with the update? Also, anyone else getting OTA updates? Just asking cause if it's the same one they are going to OTA without any changes I might as well just update right now.

Someone mentioned this in the Captivate forums, perhaps you can give it a try and report back:
nkrick said:
Unless I am mistaken, bluetooth voice dialing is not a native function of froyo, it is included in a google app that is only compatible with froyo. As with all google apps, carriers can choose whether or not to include it. If it is not pre-installed, it can be downloaded from the market.

This is not an 'official' release
A Sprint admin at the carrier's own user forum just posted a comment denying that there has been a release:
The official Sprint version of the upgrade has not been released. When it is, I will post a thread to the Samsung Epic forum and update the Samsung Epic Maintenance Release blog. If you want to receive a notification when it's available, subscribe to the blog.

This just my 2 cents. I believe that the Verizon update leaked about on the 1/10 is to allow the phone to be updated by Kies. Granted, this week is CES, and Verizon is lauching new LTE phones, but I also see this as an opportunity for Samsung to announce updates to their Galaxy S lines in the US. Considering how many of these phones have sold, if there isn't an announcement at CES, there may never be one, lol. But I believe they will say something, because they want to build up the Galaxy S brands, and you really can't do that by screwing consumers out of an update for a Free Mobile OS.
It is really most likely a bug fix, hence why it's called MR2 (Maintainence Release). Most likely it's DL09. NOT froyo.
It may actually be our beloved froyo that we've been waiting for.
But honestly, I'm waiting for jt and co's gingerbread...
Who cares .... for those who don't frequent IRC, here's today's status: "You'll notice there is not AOSP status here, thats because we got the .35 kernel booting and have moved to gingerbread...have a nice day"
i would be on IRC just watching whats going on if nothing else... but i couldnt tell you how to access it lol
maybe ill get something for my birthday, (the 10th, that is)

It looks like, whoever gets to it first, we're going to see some sort of update in the pretty near future.
Can't wait to see what is going to come about over the course of this month.
Per this article -
http://phandroid.com/2011/07/27/sam...re-update-august-3rd-debuting-at-media-event/
Seems Samsung will be hosting a release party in NY, and side-loading Touchwiz to attendees.
So... hopefully we'll be seeing the update on the same day.
Glad to see some better news about this update other then the words"coming soon" from samsung.
We will know that day, 5 bucks says they release OTA "in the coming weeks"

I work in Manhattan so if I really wanted to I could skip out of work for a bit and get this loaded.
I have a locked version, should I root and add CWM before I do this or leave it bone stock?
I am very pleased that they at least gave us some date not like with froyo for my vibrant! It seems like Samsung is very excited about this update as we are. Lol.. My prediction is that they will release an ota date on wednesday like they did with the the actual unit itself and we will all have it by Friday next week, but who knows... Haha

I have a vibrant as well and froyo was a disaster. To top that off, gingerbread will be pretty much nonexistent.
Hopefully, someone that gets sideloaded will post on the net the files.
