[Q] 2.2 is out? Verizon Customer service says so

I just got off the phone with Verizon Wireless Customer Service. I was questioning about setting changes to improve my signal strength. She said there was nothing she knew of. I then asked if she knew if the 2.2 update would bring with it a new baseband to improve the signal strength. She then said, well it is available for download, go ahead and download it and see. However, I am not in an area to do that. I am in Central Ohio, so I really have no idea if it is truely out or not!

Ummm...no. CS are useless.

I was just hoping for better service area. I live in a fringe area, my wife's D1 has service here, but my Fascinate has nothing. They did offer to knock 50 bucks off the new 3g network extender for my trouble.

Unless they have a new network extender that i'm not aware of, the one they were selling only extends voice and not data.
What one were you talking about??

There is a new network extender. It was announced last Thursday and does both 1X and EV

Verizon just released a new version of their network extender that supports 3g data last week. Retail cost of 250 though.

They told me that at the end of September. Do I have froyo? **** NO! will I ever see froyo.? Likely, but only from our developers and not samsung

It's been said multiple times in the past month that they will be coming out in November.
This from Samsung USA's twitter as well - "yes. all current Galaxy S phones in the USA will be upgraded to Android 2.2 this year."

Actually I'm pretty sure that it W's confirmed that the particular comment you are talking about DID NOT apply to the variants in the states. However I was just being sarcastic anyway. It doesn't really matter to me at this point as froyo from Samsung is literally going to suck ass because the one thing that kills these phones is the one thing a firmware update wont fix, and that's RFS. Anyway, good day sir. Hope you are correct, that way we can get some good froyo ROMS rollin
Edit: actually, I don't recall that anyone anywhere has stated specifically that our phones will get it in November. And I am positive that u will find nothing specific to the fascinate. Anyway. Not flaming, just stating the facts.

"The Galaxy S series will be getting 2.2 Froyo in November, starting in Europe and over time pushing west." - Not sure if this includes the US, but I assume it does. Paraphrased.

It was a direct quote from Samsung's Twitter. What else could "yes. all current Galaxy S phones in the USA will be upgraded to Android 2.2 this year." mean?
It can't mean ANYTHING else other than the Samsung Galaxy S phones released in the USA with all the popular carriers.

True. And this is all moot speculation anyway. When Froyo was debuted at I/O, afterwards Google tweeted about the rollout occurring over the next few months. less than 15 hours later I pulled down a rooted OTA courtesy of Cyanogen. lol.
It should be sometime between now and Christmas.

Samsung Galaxy S phone may skip 2.2 and jump to 2.3 gingerbread

So i was reading this blog and bam i finally got slapped with a pretty cool rumor that got me a little excited so i wanted to share because of all the 2.2 questions maybe this will shed some light

I'm beginning to doubt I'll see 2.2 by the time my two-year contract runs out in 2012..

I heard from this guy that he saw Elvis at a truck stop yesterday. thought I'd let yall know
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

Highly doubtful.
Epic just upgraded to 2.2, and Vibrant was scheduled last week but got postponed a week. If we were going to see 2.3 instead, then we'd have to wait months...first Samsung would release to International Galaxy S, then give it to all the carriers who then make modifications.
At this point all the carriers have been working on 2.2 so I doubt they would drop doing their work on this to skip over froyo.

i wouldnt be surpised if we skip all updates straight into 3.0 after all not the first time samsung ****ed us(all galaxy s will get 2.2 SHORTY after release).

At this point, I don't have too much hope for 2.2. I've seen in the past with other devices and OS that VZW skip a release or two because it failed their internal testing or something. I wouldn't be surprise if 2.2 was like that

I'm not worried about updates anymore...

Seems this is becoming a common sentiment. Go figure, right?

It seems as if Verizon is putting all of its eggs in the Motorola basket. They get updates/fixes galore.
I will be furious if the Fascinate goes the way of the Droid Eris (what I JUST upgraded from). Fortunatley, instead of burning an upgrae, I bought off of Craigslist.

maybe we will at least see a 2.3 leak one day!

We're going to get 2.3 eventually.

You guys can't blame Verizon for us not having froyo. If t mobile is so great why don't the vibrant have it? And sprints testing is poopoo, if you read about their new froyo, I don't think anyone is impressed
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

Yeah I absolutely love the irony of everyone jumping ship from Verizon when the other devices haven't got Froyo either. When T-Mobile gets Froyo onto the Vibrant we shall see. The Epic is different hardware (different enough that Samsung probably shipped different drivers/RIL). This entire attitude of "verizon sucks" is just laughable at this point.

T-Mo sucks and has the spottiest data coverage of any carrier I have ever used. I can remember driving down the highway, using my Nexus One in the car cradle, and having to wait for Google Maps to load up my current location because the buffered map areas couldn't keep up since the data connection kept going up and down. I could get across the city so quick on the highway that the network could not seemlessly handle me moving across the network so fast. Verizon has been a breath of fresh air compared to T-Mo, and the only thing I miss is the control I had with my Nexus One. That said, the screen on this phone is nice and is really the top of the class. We will get 2.2 soon enough, and with the proper foundation, I would think creating 2.3 ROMs will be an easy prospect.

sooo, anyone else *#*#checkin#*#* yet?

I know I am not the only one... man, when Froyo came out it was OCD.

As far as I know, gingerbread isn't even out yet. Just the sdk.

Pretty sure Google wants to have the Nexus S come out first on the 16th and then OTA the update to us on the 17th or so

Yeah, ask again next Thursday. No reason to believe we'll see it before then.

What's the point of waiting just for the next day to release the ota for n1? There's no real gain in that for google.

I suspect we'll have to wait longer than 1 day.

How about they sell more Nexus S devices because geeks can't wait to get their hands on Gingerbread so they rush out to buy the phone anyways? Surely we all know it's coming to the Nexus S but look at the thread title, people are going nuts for Gingerbread as it is! LOL
Surely they could just do what Apple does and release the update the day before for the older phones but i guess we'll see

There is a good reason to wait.
Now when the SDK is out all the developers can test their apps against the Gingerbread and fix all the bugs and incompatibilities.
What do you think would happen, if goog realeases their 2.3 update and some popular apps don't work anymore? This forum would literally explode with screams like "fix this immediately or else", "I hate google", "gingerbread killed my cat" and so on. Why google would do that to themselves?

I'm sure he's doing both just in case one yields different results. Supposedly I've heard that the Settings Updater doesn't always check, but caches the answer for an allotted time. Doing a "checkin" actually goes out and pings google (or wherever) and comes back with a result after a few seconds. The Settings app just flat out tells you no.

No there isn't. That section doesn't 'check' for updates, it tells you the result of the last system check for updates, which is done automatically, or forced through the dialer.
Going to that part of the settings does not force a check.

The point would be so that the Nexus S can be marketed as the first phone with Gingerbread.

Yeah they will probably either delay it to just after Dec 16th or release it some time next week. I'm betting on just after though.

True, but its not like they would lose any buyers anyway.
The N1 is only sold as a dev phone. And how many ppl have a N1? compared to SGS or others...
Also, like when they released froyo...many apps didnt work with 2.2 and had to be updated.
There are alot of devs out there with a N1 as a devphone. Giving out 2.3 before the NS release thus giving time for the devs to update their apps before launch would give android better publicity. And happier customers
I dont know if this is an issue with 2.3 though...
(I know the SDK is out)

I was referring to 1 day vs 1 week or more. More seems more appropriate, as you all say.

The only place I'll be "checkin" with is the Development section chef's.

ok that's a very bad update rollout process.
for xoom wifi + 3g (mz601 i guess) in asia pacific & EU, the update is still in planning stage. That means it will come somewhere around in Q4????? tht really sucks :x

Why not just flash to US firmware and Check for updates. Then you will receive ICS via ota update. I got tired of waiting for motorola to get their proverbial Sh*t together. Best move I EVER made!!

But there's no 3g Verizon's update yet....or Wi-Fi also works?
Enviado desde mi Galaxy Nexus usando Tapatalk

The wifi on US version is already update. But for 3g user mostly all region have to wait longer before its officially released.

I really wonder why there is such a long wait for the 3G version? Is it not just one little driver for the 3G modem that is extra compared with the wifi only version? Why do they even treat them as seperate machines? Very strange in my eyes.

Jelly Bean Update Rolling Out Tomorrow

http://brobuffet.com/2012/07/18/nexus-s-jelly-bean-roll-out-coming-tomorrow/

you know I just wanna put something out there... Google said mid-july (not sure if they said only for galaxy nexus or for all devices) but can anyone see the same thing happening with jelly bean as did with ICS? this is gonna be a brutal wait i guarentee....
I'm only saying this to jinx myself and hopefully the OTA comes tmrw.

This is just speculation.

Of course it's coming out tomorrow....just like it came out yesterday, the day before, on friday....because if Vodafone Australia says it's coming out tomorrow, that means it's true
I do hope it's gonna come out soon, but I doubt it's gonna be tomorrow, just because a provider says it is.

If a provider has set a time and date so close, I don't see why it wouldn't be released tomorrow. Yes, it is possible that the release may be delayed but I can't think why. Manufacturers have had early access to Jelly Bean so it's about time some devices received updates.
EDIT : There have been no other official claims of an official release. Mid-July is all people had to go on. But people started making silly guesses. Many thought it would be released on the 4th or the 13th. But there was little reason for this.

My bad. But I fail to see any threads in the Nexus S General Forum :S There is one regarding a French carrier.

Yes, they said mid-july for all devices.
Difference to ICS: We have an announced release-date (more or less exact). Last time they shipped 4.0.3 as a surprise, pulled it after a few days and then remained silent for 3 months until 4.0.4 came out.
Big difference.

There won't be anymore announcements.. Google already said mid-July.. The last announcement they will probably do will be the day that OTA will start, but they don't need to... And I'm not sure why would Vodafone lie with it to gain more costumers (or buy Nexus S), since you can't buy it from providers already

just a recap what vodafone says.
I dont get why everyone feels the need to open up a new thread about this instead of going to the countdown thread! You guys seriously need to think about your lifes. Get out, do something fun and for god'S sake leave your computer or xda untouched for a day. It's really not healthy to be so obsessed about JB. I'm excited, too but i'd rather go for a sunbath than sitting in front of my computer waiting for an ota which does not come.
Why are you even so excited about what a carrier or a french blog says? I don't give a single sh... about them. I'm just interested in what google says. Don't get your hopes up cause of this! You will most likely just be disappointed. Same thing with these screenshots about the 4.0.4 ota with this date. Everyone is so damn sure that JB will be pushed when we hit this date. So, OTA is expected to hit us FOR SURE!!! every day since like the 8th...
Long story short: CHILL OUT!!

We are at least as insane as iPhone users. except we are not sleeping in the street waiting for a new phone, we are staying awake waiting for a freaking OTA! At first i did that too but to be honest after a few days it gets way too pathetic for me. I enjoy my life outside the house. Thats how I wait! and i can recommend that!

Guess we all love the Nexus S...I was anxious too when going from GB to ICS. Best is left time roll and get JB when time comes not beeing a priority... But that comes with age though
