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"
Sent from Galaxy Tab 10.1 using XDA Premium App
In the next coming weeks the update will be coming soon...
Good news. I expect that we'll see it before the end of August.
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.

I know I can root mine and load CWM, I was asking if I "should" root it before this event if I happen to go and get the update sideloaded.
The last touchwiz version from bonsai (2.0) seems fully functional to me, very happy with it.
-can we know what improvements or addins can we expect from this update?

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.

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?

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

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.
Has anyone got the latest update from Sanding with the new ui? I thought it was going to be sent out yesterday. Will you get it if you are rooted?

Damn, just went and googled the update and realized the update on July 5th was for the Sprint Galaxy Tab NOT the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. Oh well, I guess I'll need to wait for "soon" before it gets updated. Still wondering if I will get the OTA since I rooted my 10.1 or if I will need to flash back to the default stock non-rooted version first.

My guess (totally uneducated) is that if you're rooted, you may have trouble since there are some fundamental changes. But that's seriously just a guess.

Deja vu. We already saw the same message in June, saying "Samsung are going to release 2.3.4. in July". Maybe this time it will happen...or maybe not. Then we will see this for September. Sooner ot later, they will gues right.

Was thinking the same, plus they seem to be miles away from a good fw release, since day one the major issues have been the AOS bug, the pink spot camera, the gradients, all still present in KG3, which even added more bugs like the fc while playing flash content...

Keep in mind the tweet's from samfirmware, not Samsung. Since May, he/they have posted about five "X is coming by X" messages and they've been wrong all five times. With phone's already shipping with 2.3.4 in some parts of the world I'd say we'll start seeing updates soon. Maybe I should tweet that - it would be as accurate a guess as samfirmware's.

Why should they? They've committed to nothing at the time we bought the phone and publicizing dates and then potentially not hitting them would just piss people off. Besides, this way, it's kind of like Christmas.
Now August, it was July first. Ehh..
Can't wait !!!
I was talking with Samsung today and I asked "so we can expect the 2.3.4 in next 30 days for sgs2" and Sammy guys told me it will be before but they dont know exactly when still no information... They dont know the date ...
Also they said that they are planning to release Ginger for SGS next month (or this for some countries dunno) and 2.3.4 version in september - October
which firmware KIES need detect to make the 2.3.4 available?
2.3.3 with 2.3.3 kernel and 2.3.3 CSC??
i am interested in the answer to that last post also.
i updated my s2 to KE7 through odin as KIES wasnt offering it to vodafone handsets quick enough. will kies even offer it to me when it is available?
@SamFirmware asked via twitter who wanted the update before Aug 3 and he says only 8 people responded.
Here is the tweet, please reply to him that you want it. He said they need 100 people to say they want it.

SamFirmware NEWS: http://t.co/I7B090V TouchWiz UX update for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in NYC August 3. Do you want this update faster? Let us know!
Yesterday in twitter...
SamFirmware: Can you wait till 3 August? Or do you want a early release? Galaxy tab 10.1" #us
And today....
SamFirmware: No new P7510 US rom before 3 August only 8 people response.
so I ask them why and then response:
SamFirmware: @r2d2i Is very simple we need to have downloads to pay things. if 100 people told us YES we could share.
Soo the only thing that we have to do is follow them and say yes that we want the early release please only need 92 more...
I can't put the link because I'm new but the twitter is : @SamFirmware
It seems that Samsung doesn't have any solid numbers of retail sales in the US for the 10.1.
https://twitter.com/#!/SamFirmware/status/96624175124451328
Since the product registration is voluntary and you can use the tab right out of the box (unlike iOS) I guess they're just using whatever hokey methods they can to estimate sales.
Update: they are being rather stupid about it:
