Sooo... Did the Koreans get their Froyo update yet?

The Koreans were supposed to get their Froyo update at the end of last month, right? Did they get it or did Samsung miss the target? Just curious as to wether Samsung are on target for upgrade, or if we shouldn't expect to see the promised upgrade this month.
Regards

Rumored to be..
http://www.samsunghub.com/2010/07/1...s-android-2-2-update-tipped-for-early-august/
They all point to the claim made by Samsunghub, which claims it was "confirmed" by a samsung rep. We don't know if their rep worked with Samsung themselves though, and we don't know the reliability of their rep.

i'm in korea, and nope we havent received the froyo update yet.

Heh, I check every night because I don't follow a Korean blog (there is one that I do seem to link to on a lot of naver searches so I probably should just bookmark it).
When you get Froyo please post (start a new thread at xda, not this thread) and I'll do the same. I know many users who could use the info, will be unlikely to promptly hear without XDA or a western news source, and some don't even have Kies set up to occasionally check (but they'll be able to go to a Service center to get the update).
Thanks in advance.

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.

Wait for it. There are many people in many different parts of the world that haven't received the OTA update as of yet.
If you really want it now, you can get the file and manually update from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113878
But remember, once you update to 3.2 you have no root, and as of yet there is no way to root 3.2 on our tablet.

maybe in your area is still on process of putting an update.
I got my 3rd update last night and now, 3.2 (my first update was 3.1 from original 3.01 and I don't know why 8 have to update again to 3.1 and now, the latest over OTA.
I'm here in Algeria and my A500 was bought in Houston last 27th July this year.

If your in the U.S. I don't think its been released yet for us. I know I'll be one of the first batch of people sense I got my tab in April so until then I'll make a thread if there isn't one yet for the states. I know the release by VID number which I'm sure also coincieds to the manufacturing date, and the push process is long, even when they pushed that small. 13 update in June I think, I still see people posting they just got that update in august.

Hello there, Im now at Acer_A500_4.010.42_COM_GEN1 and I dont see a file to make a direct upgrade form here, Im guessing that I can downgrade to a version available to be upgraded to 3.2, can you tell me if this is feasible please?, If so I will look for the procedure in the forums and dont bother you anymore, thank you very much.

I'm in Aus with an A501 - so I'm guessing no news yet on 3.2 for us? 3G dropouts (occasional) are the big thing I'm looking forward to. WiFi dropouts are occasional only. Also I heard rumour that video (720p) playback is improved? I.E less of a need to handbrake everything!

When did you buy your tab?

Greetings, I am near San Francisco CA. I purchased my A500 about 12 days ago. When I pulled it from the box the first time it did 2 updates. One update to 3.1 and the next update took me to Acer_A500_4.010.13_COM_GEN2. I was stuck at that for the next 12 days. Every day about 10 times a day I would hit the update button hoping for the OTA to 3.2. It never came. Today I thought I would force update it. Right before I tried the force update to Acer_A500_4.010.38_COM_GEN1 I hit update one more time thinking I should try it before I did a force update. The update still did not come. I then updated to Acer_A500_4.010.38_COM_GEN1 using the link provided in XDA forum topic '[OTA] Full Package and Update'. The second the update finished I hit the about>update button again and it instantly got the OTA download to 3.2. I now have 3.2 installed. Not sure I would have ever got the update from Acer_A500_4.010.13_COM_GEN2. I think once you update to the .38 you can then update to OTA 3.2 .

That's because .38 Gen 1 is for another region that has been released for. The update for .13 Gen 2 will come soon enough for the U.S. we just got to wait a bit, but they will eventually make a release build for us without having to custom rom update.
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App

Then why do so many people in the USA have .38 when they have never installed anything custom? The a500 I took back to the store for poor build quality was .38 and it was purchased in San Francisco CA. Not sure how letting acer install a stock OTA is considered custom.

Same here, 6 A500 tabs in tha house. 3 have had the update, other 3 didn't receive anything. All 6 are from the same batch.
Acer really ****ed it up this time

I have the wifi only version, and have not received the OTA update. Is it possible that the ones that have updated have the mobile wireless option?

I have a Gen2, no update yet. I am hoping the new update fixes wifi? Or well, makes it faster, I have Comcast 15-20mbps, and get a measly 5mbps when I run a wifi test.

Do a factory reset from the Settings menu and they WILL receive the update. Back up any important data before doing this though as wil will lose it.

It depends on servers
I asked someone on acer, and they answered me that it depends on the servers, and because it's a worldwide process it can take some time to get in some countries. For example here in Mexico there are some users getting 3.1 upgrades, when in some other countries there have been 3.2 upgrades.
It's kind of weird but that's how this thing works. It's in stages. So be patient, and wait for it.

you are right. i have a LA4 version now

Where do you live?
Ffs, i think I'm at the end of the world ... Still on KK5 and no OTA update for me ):

i am in canada

how do i find out where my phone is coming from? please advice.
after LA4 update. everything seems so much faster.!!! i am very happy with this update

I'm also on KK5 and no update for me.

No OTA update for me. German Note (DBT CSS) and I am on LA4 now (since a few weeks ago). So we're on the same page

I am at the end or the world: Oz!
I have not had any update since the first in late Dec when I got the phone. Still KK5

Seriously!
Yeah now why we have'nt been getting updates since last year(Dec) I don't get it :/
All UK ones are not getting it unless you do it manually! DBT ones are being pampared looks like!

how to check where my phone is coming from?

How is it some people get the update and their Note flies and others get it and it lags? My homescreens move jerkingly across as I move them over.
I'd remove it if I knew how. I hate the new keyboard too. Wish I could get the original kb back somehow.
I could type without ever messing up, now it's like any other touchscreen keyboard and I'm constantly deleting letters I didn't mean to type.

My GT-N7000 just downloaded an update to LA4. I have it on push updates, but it didn't tell me about it - only when I manually asked it to check through the settings (not Kies, but that might have worked too. I think I did this yesterday too, so it's pretty new).
It's the first update I've received since I got my phone mid-December (I've been checking quite often), unfortunately I can't remember for sure what version it was on - it was 2.3.6, I think KJ6 but am not 100% certain. The region is TGY (Hong Kong). The download was 80.63MB.
Things I've noticed:
- Phone/S Memo icons are a bit different (yeah... I'm writing things down in the order I notice them)
- S-Pen calibration seems much better. The Auto-Rotation bug is gone (where if you toggle auto-rotation it would write a good 1cm off).
- Scrolling in some ListViews is much smoother. For example, scrolling in G+ used to be really jerky, it's now smooth.
- When you scroll a list view too far the effect is a bit different
- The screen takes just as long to come on after pressing the power button.
Maybe all of this is old and everyone else has been on LA4 for ages, but I thought I'd post it anyway.

Quite simple, the note will recieve a full blown ICS update and the device does not need more updates for the Gingerbread branch, its all ready on the newest api-level.
My own insider contacts have said it will be quite soon after the SGS II ICS update that the Note will get its own.
I would bet that a ICS running version is on display at MWC in barcelona in three weeks.

yeah.. I notice those changes too.. everything run very smooth. very happy with the new update.. and excited for the ics..

Updates for a Optus (telcom) acer a501 tablet

Hi,
I just have a basic question on what people think and how the update would be handled if it would even happen
I have purchased my Acer a501 with optus (Australia's 2nd Biggest Mobile Network Company)
My Acer is on a yearly plan inc 2GB/mth for $40/mth for 12mth. ($480 inc data) not a bad deal! considering i seen sales for 1.5 the price in shops.
anyways I am excited about ICS, and hope I will one day use it.
does anyone have experience owning a device which is sub.branded with another company eg: optus/acer Iconia.
when I switch my unit on, it says ACER, then a OPTUS logo is shown until it's booted
will this type of unit retrieve updates via system update notification? that be same as unlocked A501's?
or Will i be required to ROM my system to a standard a501 and let that find the ICS updates when they come out.
Info I can give on my ICONIA is this.
Android Ver. :3.2.1
Kernal: 2.3.36.3+
Baseband: Cust:R3C01 Config:R4B01 Conf: R3C01 Protocol: R3B01 App:R3C01
Model No.: A501
ACER APN: 1.186-1
FLEX Version: 01_AAP_OPTUS
BUILD No.: Acer_A501_4.064.01_AAP_OPTUS
any info you can give to shed some light on this would be nice!
Cheers all!
Shaun.

Well Shaun, I would guess when Optus decides to release your update, you will receive notification. "When" it will happen, is anybody's guess. But the updates will arrive via OTA.
(the "OPTUS" logo after Acer, is just the boot animation).
If your tablet is "locked" to OPTUS right now (insert a different Sim and see what happens), then it will probably will be locked to the network after OTA. This "locking" is in a different section on the tab, and is NOT effected by software installs. At least on the ATT models.
So, when they push ICS OTA, you will still be locked.
But like I said, turn off the tab, put a different brand Sim card, and start the tab. If you get prompted to enter a 16 digit code, you are locked to OPTUS.
Or, as in the case on one of my friends on Rogers, it said "registered on the network". So, see what happens. (although it shows APN for rogers, only because his network sim is a new company and isn't listed in APNS-conf)

the first thing I tried when I got my tab was a TELSTRA sim
it worked and i browsed a website to be sure
it's optus branded but not locked
YAY..
seriously...
YAY! haha

Great! Guess you're not locked to a specific network like ATT.
You'll get your ICS update eventually But don't worry, they only started pushing the 3.2.1 updates to the 501 users just recently.

are you a Master user here?
I would like to see a sticky for acer Updates and keeping it updated to see what gets what and when.
so if ICS is out in USA but not OZ.. then I can see hmmmmm we getting jibbed!
and I can start to look for a custom rom for my system hahaha

Mate we ALWAYS get the shaft for most things... At least Optus releases an OTA update in a "timely" manner, Telstra is a ***** for releasing ANYTHING new...
Have never stayed stock with them....

Define "Master User"
Have I modded roms? check
Have I brought tabs back from the brink of death? check
Will I flash anything I think is usable? check
Do I flash untested kernels? check
Have I ever bricked my tab? Nope (semi-bricked my Desire 2yrs ago in the old days, but recovered) Does that count?
Am I an Android programmer? Nope. I know enough to get in trouble. I am what you might call a "fry cook"
So, do I qualify for "Master User"?
If you are on a "stock" unbranded 501, you will receive updates directly from Acer. This means you will probably get them first. If you have a "branded" device, it will be up to the network provider to decide when to release them.
Considering there are no "official" updates to ICS for the 500 or 501, then no point in discussing it. It will come when it does.
We already have a thread in the Dev section pertaining to leaked updates and roms. Believe me, when the 501 gets an ICS update, I will personally be all over it like Monica on Bill Clinton. Heck, I'll go back to stock just to snag the update file

But I can say 1 thing. No problems. No revisions needed At least not something making a new rom for.

501... proverbial "red headed stepchild"

Man you are lucky that your a501 is on 3.21.
I am one of those whose a501 was locked (to rogers) but has been unlocked for nearly 3 months (paid 25 to get it unlocked) as I'm a bell customer.
We are still on stock 3.2. Haven't seen or heard anything about any 3.21 update yet.
I use ics RC 4.2 for my i9000m and cm9 for my p1000m. I can't go back to GB. Hard to think that.
Can't wait til ics comes out though. Really loving it.
