Having decided I'll stick with 2.3.3 for the time being since I don't feel the need to risk ruining my warranty with the leaked 2.3.4 version, does anyone have any info on a possible timescale for the official version of 2.3.4 to be released? Also, on the right hand side of the wikipedia entry for android, it say:
Latest stable release
Phones:
2.3.4 (Gingerbread) / 24 February 2011; 4 months ago[3]
suggesting it's official and has been since february? I thought it was only leaked in the last couple of weeks. I'm presumably misunderstanding something somewhere, lol
The 2.3.4 leaked update does reduce the Android OS a bit but in general not really solve the problem.
I would flash a custom ROM, you can always go back to stock and unroot if your really worried about risking your warranty.

There is no official ETA just rumours which state sometime this month and the 2.3.4 will be for the Nexus which gets all the updates first as it's a google branded phone.

Well, even if 2.3.4 becomes official sometime in the next month or so, that's not too long a wait for me. So Nexus gets priority, ok. And then they'll presumably make it an update for the SGS2 as well?
What about that wikipedia entry, they must have made an error with the last digit of 2.3.4.

i don't think you understood what he said: nexus already got the update, hence the february date. our phone runs a customised version (touchwiz launcher + custom samsung stuff) so we have to wait until samsung is ready to roll out their version of 2.3.4.
obviously these "leaks" are there so that more users can test the firmware. i'm guessing the official update is not far away.

so i wonder what the official will change
ifor one find all the roms the same, except i do like the gtalk video chat in 2.3.4 works perfectly
I think the official 2.3.4 will bring gtalk with massage function as well as a breakfast in bed... mmmm

New Android 2.2 Software Update for Nexus One phones
Starting today, Nexus One users will begin to receive the Android 2.2 (codenamed Froyo) over-the-air software update on their phones. This update provides some great new features including support for making your handset a portable hotspot and support for Adobe Flash within the browser. For a complete list of everything we’ve included in Android 2.2, please see the Android 2.2 Platform Highlights.
In order to access the update, you will receive a message on your phone's notification bar. Just download the update, wait for it to install, and you should be all set. This update will be rolled out gradually to phones - and most users will receive the notification by the end of the week . We hope you enjoy these new features.

Just got the OTA this morning when I woke up. I was on FRF83, the new update was 507kb and brought my NExus One to FRF85B.
Very cool. Not all that exciting, more of a relief than anything. Clearly something fishy was up as the last few builds didn't seem to have any issues anyway...oh well glad its over. Now wheres gingerbread dammit!?!?!

Oh wow!!! I haven't even had a chance to play with froyo yet and you guys are already pushin for gingerbread......am I that far behind? lol
Great news.
I am curious, don't the at&t phones get a version with a different build number than T-mobile phones? I was reading that at&t guys were getting this same update build as well.
Nope, same build for both, so no more update fragmentation.
I suspect the Euro ones wil get a different build, just for different localisation options.

If i have the stock 2.1 update 1 rom, which is rooted, has kmobs kernel and amon ra recovery, I suppose I wont get an OTA right?
How would I go about updating when someone creates an update.zip? Do i have to wipe anything?
I'm currently running Froyo build FRF50. I can't seem to see the update OTA from systems update. FYI, I'm currently traveling in Vietnam. If I download the .zip recovery of FRF85, will it work?
google wont push the update to every phone at once, it will be a gradual update through all the phones, so you wont see it in system updates until your phone is selected to recieve it.
Got my OTA update a couple of hours ago. On T-Mobile in UK. Update from FRF83 to FRF85B.

You can manually update FRF50 to FRF83, then FRF83 to FRF85B. Or just wait for OTA.
I have build number ERE27. Will I still get the update?
Yes of course you will.
excellent news. waiting for a FRF85B ROM or a FRF83->FRF85B patcher now...

They usually release only to a few thousand at a time the first few days, then up to 10,000 a day a few days later or something like that, so you might not get it till next week if its truly coming out.
They also have typically announced the update in the Verizonwireless.com forums under the android\incredible section. Until you see it there I would consider it a rumor.
Im just wondering if we will even get the ota if we're rooted or if we will have to unroot first.
According to this, the update is for real:
w ww.droid-life.com/2010/07/16/breaking-droid-incredible-ota-update-is-go/
Oops...can't post a link yet.
hey OP, make this a poll
I've been seeing it everywhere, but haven't gotten it yet.

gonna have to unroot to get updates.
EDIT: I take this back. It depends on your version. If you have an older version of software and you have not turned off notifications you will get the notification to update. If, however you're running a froyo ROM then my understanding is that you won't see the update.
Been on all the android forums today , so far nobody has gotten the update OTA.
If it was out today vzw would confirm it like they did when we got the first update.
All I heard today was a friend of a friend got the update , RIGHT !
Verizon hasn't released the "official" OTA, but there is a leaked version that people are downloading and installing. It appears to be authentic, but since not an OTA may affect future Radio updates if you install it. Plenty of info over at the Droid Forum.

Which Droid forum?
this droid forum for one thing. Check in the development section and you will see several threads with leaked ota discussing this
.
I'm really anxious to get the update, but I'm going to wait for the OTA. I updated my Eris with a leaked OTA, and I ended up regretting it. It made rooting much more difficult, and stopped me from getting the final OTA.

Do you know how it stopped you from getting the final OTA? i would think if you wiped and went back to a stock ROM the network wouldn't know the difference.

Nope. Known issue with the Eris leak.
Well, I'm not sure if if I have the OTA or not, or just part of it.
I rooted with the original instructions, then updated everything with Unrevoked 3.1. Stock ROM installed, have working WIFI tether.
Yesterday, got a message in my notification bar that a Verizon widget was available. I can now add a new Data Usage widget to my desktop, which says "Data Usage 0.0/0 MB Estimate as of N/A". Not sure why it isn't updating, but it's possible that it's related to me having a corporate rather than a personal account.
Never got a prompt to install any OTA. Tethering still works.
Hardware version 0002, Firmware version 2.1-update1
So maybe the Verizon widget was pushed by itself without the full OTA since I don't have the standard recovery?
FYI, the OTA has been halted in favor of packaging it up with the official Android FroYo v2.2 update. So instead up two OTA's we will have one OTA to rule them all!

Even better! I assume the recommendation then is to unroot?

No, the recommendation would probably be to hold your horses and wait till the OTA get's patched so we can simply upgrade without any hassle.
I know that HTC had originally said the *final* Froyo build would be pull-able before it begins pushing on 8/3. Has anyone been able to PULL the update as of yet? If so, what software version are you seeing? And is flash included in the update?
I would like to know as well
In before use other custom FroYo roms etc.
i put the leaked froyo on my phone and it has Flash 10.1
I have been checking most of the day. Haven't recieved an update yet. I am rooted. I wonder if the update knows if you are rooted or not. I have been reading about non rooted users getting the update today tho.
oh it was available..... then it was pulled.
i doubt you will see anything until the actual release tomorrow.
and who cares really, its 24 hours...
its going to be more interesting to see what has changed and if they gave it a new Rev # or if they pulled the same sh|t as the last update where they pulled it to fix some things but kept the same Rev #.

Doubt you that anyone is getting the update via OTA manual pull today at all. It will be out tomorrow in groups via OTA push, and if you want you should be able to force DL it. This is if sprint/HTC hold their word on the date at least, they could always say they found something and delay it.
Only way to get it now is download it form a site that got the leaked version friday and install it, or if your rooted and u install one of the many fine rom's available.

When was it available? I have been checking all morning and saw nothing.
He's talking about the one released Friday afternoon. Sprint said, however, that it's not the final build and the one pushed tomorrow will supposedly be a newer build
Kinda Can't Wait But I Rather A Final And More Stable Build/ROM. Just Wonder How Long Until There Is A Rooted Version.

Double what he said....
Did the OTA update on rooted phone and got the triangle with exclamation in the middle with android character in front. Gonna try to reboot see what happens.
rooted, installed cw recovery, installed jt's superclean 0.4 DI01 ROM, what would I do when 2.2 or 2.3 comes out? will I have to wait a couple days for a updated ROM to come out for that version of android? Or would I have to go back to stock?
Wait for a ROM... Much easier than dealing with having to go back to stock just for an ota

this. and you know very shortly after an OTA comes out, or more likely before, it will be released here in multiple flavors. so i wouldn't worry about it.
ok cool. thanks
Thanks for the info....good post. I hope its true and we see it soon. Ignore PhoenixPath he likes to shoot down anyone.... Your thread 100% belongs here.
Would it be expected to have a Froyo 2.2 rom the same day it comes out OTA if Verizon somehow keeps it from being leaked before?

I would think there would at least be a rooted version out the same day. A lot of it will depend on when it is released. If it gets released late at night or during the week, it may take a little longer than if it gets released earlier in the day or on like a Friday.
Another reason not to return to stock to get an update from Verizon: The update may prevent the phone from being rooted again by patching the security loophole that we exploit to gain root.

I call samsung to try and sort the issue.
KIES tells me i can update my firmware, despite me being already on 2.2
The manager tells me that the firmware update showing available on KIES is a glitch..
He denies that 2.2.1 exists and says there will be no further update until 2.3 next year!
He advises me to download advanced task killer as that we sort my problem out???? er, dont think so!
If that's the advice you're getting then he probably doesn't know about 2.2.1 anyway.
For the record, Kies doesn't show me an update (XEU on JPX).

Can't find the thread.. but there was an email from samsung saying that they will release the sources tomorrow, JPY or JPX don't remember, but for sure it was 2.2.1
..And he claimed to be the team leader!
He also said that if i managed to download the "glitched" firmware i would do serious damage to my phone and it would be my fault!
Ialready have 2.2 and presume the firmaware is 2.2.1 but even with reg hack i cant get passed the "battery charge" message so cant update...
He said advanced task killer would resolve all my issues!
Samsung also denied the Nexus S existed
Just to let you know I updated to JPY this morning from Darky's custom rom using Kies patcher......going back to the custom rom!!
Also my wifes SGS stock 2.1 JF3 never been rooted or modded in anyway, is showing the update available too, going to flash that tonight!
JPU, JPX & JPY are all test firmwares, so the manager is technically correct, that you risk breaking your phone by trying them (not that they will break your phone, but equally they are not supported roms). They haven't been signed off yet as official releases. JPZ is waiting in the wings too, and we are told that JPY sources will be released tomorrow.
Whether that means JPY comes officially tomorrow I don't know?
Also Samsung have elsewhere said the next official release comes in December, without confirming whether it was 2.2.1 or 2.3
I think we all know it is most likely to be 2.2.1 now since all these test firmwares confirm they are gearing up for an official release.
Glad to great we are likely to get 2.3 officially too next year.... although the source doesn't appear too reliable!
I don't care it's official or not. Finally it works. 2.2.1 is the first _working_ ROM from f.cking Samsung. Not a laggy piece of ****.
So I will happy with an "official" release but now I'm using JPY beacuse I would like to use my phone. I bought my SGs in september. Now it's december and this is the first time when I can use my phone without any tweak or custom ROM. It's a shame on Samsung but it looks like it's changing now.

Amen to that! I think Samsung realeased galaxy too soon because they have so consern that they have a iPhone "killer" but they failed big time and now they have pissed of costumers that have a laggy phone and we are some sort of beta testers of this crap phone, just like Nokia had make too..realeased phone too early. But its seems with 2.2.1 rom we start from cratch and the phone feels like a new phone! at last!
