Well, just wanted to share some information that fell on my lap with you guys.
I got in contact with Samsung Chile via Twitter here in South America, and I asked about the Gingerbread update for the Galaxy Tab Wi-Fi. They replied saying:
"@Samsung_Chile: Estamos trabajando en el update, debiera estar en 2 meses más. Para videochat puedes ocupar Skype o Quick Saludos!"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It basically translates to: "We are working on the update, and it should be available in another 2 months. For video chat, you can use Skype or Qik."
Well, considering this came from the OFFICIAL Samsung Chile Twitter account, there is some credit attached to it. But then again, the same person didn't know that Skype is a) not supporting video chat for ANY Tab officially and b) that Skype needs 2.3.4 to work for video as far as I know.
So take that as you will. The word comes from the official Samsung Twitter account, so that counts for something. But I think a grain of salt needs to be applied in this case.
Just sharing the news with you guys! Hope this answers some questions for the rest of us Wi-Fi owners.
any news for the GT-P1000 ?
I was holding off on rooting/flashing my Tab because I was waiting for the official update to hit T-Mobile USA customers.
I'm glad I finally said "screw that" and flashed the Overcome 2.3 ROM. It's really easy to do, and if you're tired of waiting I'd recommend going ahead and giving it a shot.

I would, but I have the Wi-Fi model of the Tab. Not the 3G. This clearly says P1010L! Not the 3G model!
And the Firmware isn't compatible across both versions, sadly.

I'm guessing it'll also be in 2 months then. I mean, why not? If they are rolling out the update for the P1010L in 2 months here, it stands to reason that they'll give the P1000L the same treatment... after all, it is the more popular model, I think.

Great news for you!
I have the GT-P1010 and hope it applies to mine as well. I've been holding out as I didn't want to accidentally brick mine trying to root it so this is wonderful news! I wasn't sure they would do it cos I heard the P1010 model has inferior parts which make the ginge update impossible. A sliver of hope is definitely better than none and I'm content to wait 2-3 months for the update to happen...if it does.
Thanks for sharing the news!
Yesterday I recived a response from Samsung Mexico about when and if there will it be an update, the response was this:
Disculpe el inconveniente Sr. Rodríguez, aún no contamos con un tiempo
estimado en el cúal estará disponible la actualiación Android 2.3 en
México.

It translates to something like this:
We apologize for the inconvenience Mr. Rodriguez, still do not have a time
estimate in which will be available an Android 2.3 update in Mexico.
Maybe the employe does not know that there is no update at the moment or there is really an update in the works... only time will tell.
I almost forgot, My galaxy is an P1010 model no TV tunner.

You never know, it could be that the Mexican branch has no idea of what they are talking about, or it could be the Chilean branch that is mistaken. There's no way to know, really. I just hope it'll happen because it'd be terrible if it didn't. Froyo is alright and all, but it doesn't hold a candle to Gingerbread.
And with no Dev scene for the P1010, we are sh*t out of luck in trying to get GB on our own...
just so you guys know, you can get Skype working on the P1010 using the modified APK in the android software development forum from user "droidrx". it works on my GF's fine, except that while you must hold it in landscape mode, the camera feed that the other party sees is rotated 90 degrees.
Also, unless the app has changed, only the back camera works so no real face-to-face
I got a tweet back from @samsungsupport on the question of GB on the P1010. They claim that "we (samsung) are not permitted to speculate. Stay tuned!"
Now you could argue that they are hinting that it may happen and to stay tuned for updates. I personally dont think it will happen but they have been slightly ambiguous.
I wish they would though, i need something to play around with on my Tab!

World Release! Android 2.2 FROYO on the Samsung Galaxy S. Tomorrow 12 o'clock'. AMSTERDAM

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!
rbtady said:

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!!

Hopefully, after tomorrow there will be a much wider selection. I haven't been brave enough to actually pony up to pay for anything yet but, I have been pretty impressed so far with the quality of the previews that I have watched..
Can't wait, I hope they confirm Froyo because the G2 is getting right out of the box, we should have gotten that too.

That's too bad. Tab's and another mobile devices are worthless without 3g. You're basically left with a machine that you can only use to it's fullest potential at a Starbucks or at home.
I'm officially starting to get worried about the froyo update. Samsung has had two major press events in the past two weeks and haven't even mentioned a word about froyo. I'm starting to think only the European/Korean models will get froyo.
^^I believe Samsung never promised the US phones to have Froyo in sept, just the different forums members did. The Euro Galaxy S is scheduled to get Froyo, NO ONE said the US versions will be getting it in September

Dude, Samsung and TMO have both said that we're getting Froyo... chill the hell out.
Why did you guys think this press release would be about their phones? Of course, you were probably thinking they would mention it somewhere in the press, but in actuality it was mostly about their Tab.
Go to this link: http://phandroid.com/2010/08/31/samsung-mobile-experience-event-september-16th-whats-being-shown/
And read what it said. "Latest Android device and media hub."
Just saying. That's all.

Yes, I am aware of that. I was giving a solution to the person I quoted. Not to mention that engadget is reporting that the 3g versions will most likely be sold on contract, possibly meaning you may need a data plan. I'm suggesting (if it is possible), wait, let the reviews from actual 3g users come in, and then by the wifi tab cheaper and off contract...

This is for the galaxy s.... IN SPAIN. This does not apply to people with the vibrant. I would assume the U.S. is more of a priority to Samsung, therefore froyo should be out before then.

Well, Samsung is a Korean company first off. Second of all, carriers don't lock/change their handsets like the US does, so it gets much easier to update when you take the carrier out of the equation. This is why Europe/Asia get new phones and the updates for those phones before the US.
That is just how it is.

Holy crap will everyone just shut up about Froyo. Enjoy the damn phone that you have. Its not like our phones are piles of crap. People are making Froyo out to be some mythical unicorn update. But I'm sure once we get Froyo the same people will be complaining that we don't have Gingerbread yet because the Nexus 1 is getting it in December.

http://www.tmonews.com/2010/08/samsung-testing-gps-fix-for-galaxy-s-phones/
See two pieces of proof something is coming in September, we still have 10 days so lets see what happens.
So We do have like 3 Dates if you want to call it that.
One is September 23, 2010 for Froyo (2.2) which is supposibly for the International Galaxy S. Maybe it'll be compatible with all. Who Knows?
Two is September 29, 2010 for Froyo (2.2) which is for Galaxy S, IDK if all phones or Just International. IDK. I got this date from T-Mobile TODAY. I Called acted like i didnt know Anything about Android and was asking questions about The Samsung Vibrant. The guy said it comes with Android 2.1 but it'll get Android 2.2 soon. I asked if he knew a date, he said hes not for sure but he Read on a Forum somewhere about September 29, 2010. We'll See.
Three is Late October 2010. Which was told TODAY by Samsung Spain and posted on Engadget. So we have 10 days til September is over we'll see what happens. Thats all i know for now.
I'm Really eager like the rest of you to find out when our phones will get 2.2. Not only for Speed Improvement but for GPS Fixes (if implemented), 3 button hardware fix (if implemented) and of course Flash 10, Chome to Phone, the New G-Mail, Google Voice, and Tethering etc.
As eager as I am to get Froyo, I'd rather wait a little longer and let Samsung do it right than have them push something that's been rushed and running like crap. Based on the recent leaks I've seen, the most current Froyo builds have been buggy and not optimized at all.
I think late October/early November is my limit though. If they push it back further, I'm not supporting Samsung anymore. I'll switch to the G2. I can trust HTC will for sure push Gingerbread over to that phone. Who knows what Samsung will do with the Galaxy S then.
Fanboys need to stfu. You do realize many of us have buggy devices, and the fixes are being held up for froyo, right?
Dom't be idiots. Use your brains. The OS is a small issue right now. We want oir phones to work as advertised.
Yes, these buggy devices ARE complete and utter crap.

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.

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.

the other thing to keep in mind is that the 10.1v is a 3g version while the 10.1 is a wifi. once the 3g slim 10.1 is released we may see the 3.1 update. lets hope its soon

The man on the phone told me 3.1 is comming also to the 10.1v but all he could say was "this summer".

The Bulgarian Samsung Support don't know anything about that... is there some new info?
As the 10.1V version is exclusive to Vodafone, i think you should ask Vodafone about the update.

yes but samsung provides the updates. vodafone only test and approves it.
Indeed it's not easy to get an answer. Vodafone refers to Samsung and they refer to Vodafone.
Like I said someone from Samsung Benelux support told me "this summer". This can also mean september. We will see, but don't count on getting it before august. Thats my feeling.
Vodafone operates in australia too. Maybe will have to wait for their summer

If you have to wait for our summer ill never buy another samsung product.
I've never expected great support from samsung. I've bought the tab hoping samsung will release kernel sources sooner and allow xda community to take their work

The same way that u receive an update for android phone.
I Own a Nexus S phone and it was the first to receive the 2.3.4 android update, i got a message that was an system update was ready for it.
I said yes to the update, downloaded it, and installed it without loosing any data.
I think he lied to you. Ive been in contact with samsung benelux 10 days ago. He said the mobile device carriers are responsable for the 10.1v models.... lets hope he was wrong.
