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.

For all those looking grab it here http://www.samsung.de/de/support/detail.aspx?aguid=47e29085-4dff-4b5c-b8ab-dd9b9c8b70f8&dl=software

It would be nice if a changelog for Kies versions would be available.
Version 1.5.1.10074.45 is probably not official for SGS since it's not available under SGS's support pages, I'm wondering what have they fixed or changed.
But it probably couldn't get worse since Kies is a very shi*ty piece of sw...

Galaxy s on jm9 2.1, yet the best phone in market

By the End of November for sure....For now i am using JP6 Froyo...But need Public release now...

All's good... Except battery life. :-( and growing tired of waiting for official froyo! Even worse is knowing I have to deal with crappy kies when it does come out instead of getting it OTA like how the other brands are providing the update...

Kies update on air. Should be getting froyo soon. Froyo roll out in Europe has started. Pl post any further news.

If the phone is generic, why is update taking so long to come to india. I would think they will release generic version first!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

the froyo update is out in the uk only.. as of last night officially through kies.. no sign of it here .. guess it should be out by the end or mid-way November

Well i am currently on JPO via odin (obviously not via kies), with lag fix, and i must say this is the fastest and the smoothest rom i have used on i9000 yet !
I just hope whatever rom that is released for india is as good as JPO cuzz i dont want to be on some other regions firmware.
And by the way all my friends who have iPhones are really when they see my i9000... So m pretty happy with his awesome cell.
Hope froyo is released soon in india.
Cheers.

Query about battery
Hi,
Anybody seen this?
1) Put the phone on charging at night. I try to avoid doing that but had to do it this one time.
2) The phone shows charged 100% in the morning, with the notification to unplug the charger.
3) I start using the phone and within 3 hrs it goes to 0 and conks off.
4) I put it again on charging and within 5 min, it shows 40% charged!

P.S Any news on Froyo in India?

The screen is too small. And isn't that vibrant. Though it runs quite smoothly, easy to root and a lot of roms roaming around. If I were u I would wait for Froyo on galaxy s or wait for desire hd.

ICS just around the corner and GB is STILL not out!

Hopefully it will come with a new radio which can sort out my random battery drain problems.
Despite trying various radios, my battery seems to lose 3%+ per hour when sleeping so with very light use, a charge only lasts a little over 24 hours. I can only assume the problem is the radio as running Watchdog doesn't indicate that there are any rogue apps. I've tried recalibrating the battery to no end either.
As a matter of interest, which radio are other UK users trying at present? I'm currently on 1.77.30.

Exactly, ICS will be out for AT&T before we even get GB here in the UK. I reckon it could be a while yet as our respective service providers have to add all of their bloatware to it.

I haven't got a branded atrix so that shouldn't be a problem for me. But I don't know what I'm doing yet. Because if I restore my stock atrix I could potentially lose root and my unlocked bootloader. Meh the decision .....android is a God damn disease.....must have the new update!!!!! Lol
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium

To be fair Orange dosent appear to have overly bloated it (for a change) Orange Wednesday and an account checker, however seeing as that is available on the market I cant see why it would be an issue, the only other thing I can see is the addition of AP's etc, but again that should all be automatic anyways.......
Orange always claim they need to test it with their network etc but I recon 2 or 3 weeks after it's released we ought to get it *he hopes*

i find it puzzling that the milestone 2 which is older than the atrix is getting the gb update at the same time. Great news for both of our communities. But time and time again...what the hell are Motorola doing with all there time???? lol

I put a question to Motorola via the facebooks, and they said the update will come out at the same time for orange / t-mobile branded phones as it does for unbranded phones.
Of course given the delays to date I suspect the mid-November date will slip, but we shall see

I've got a Tmobile UK Atrix which I've rooted , unlocked the bootloader etc....
Is it possible to get this phone back to a state where it can be upgraded or will I need to wait until somebody does their magic and creates a CWM image to flash?
I'm really unsure how this works as I've seen many warnings about NOT reverting to Froyo if running GB.
Has anyone tried this?

I'll believe it when see it -Moto talk a lot a Kak.
Roll on the Nexus & I can dump the Atrix

If it's a gingerbread rom flashed through recovery you should be fine. Its just the SBF file to be wary of. If you've flashed a gingerbread SBF don't flash a froyo SBF. or you will get a hard brick.

For sure you will loose Root access but you can get it again under Gingerbread.
Regarding the Bootloader I believe that it's a little bit different and I guess when you have unlocked it you can't go back!
If someone more confident can confirm?

FYI:
Retail update has been released today in the UK, and (if Motorola are to be believed) T-Mobile UK and Orange UK updates will be released within a week.
OTA servers are apparently running behind but updates can be updated using Motorola's Software Update software.
https://supportforums.motorola.com/message/512793#512793

with luck Orange will have a working copy of "Your Orange" this time too....bloody thing tells me to update then I get "Package not signed" and their CS department are hopeless
Next week is better late than never I suppose

Orange UK update released via Motorola Software Update tool (v45.31.0)
I'm updating now..

Thanks for the heads up - I've just updated my sons Atrix & all went OK.
Seems to run fine on GB 2.3.4 although only tried for an hour or so as it's gone back in the box ready for Xmas

After all of this I have decided to sell my atrix....even bought a play and work kit. But its just not doing it for me. Lol
I appreciate everything all the developers do. But the forums just seem so quiet, even compared to my old desire, that forum is s**t hot still. LOL. It is a shame though as this phone had some amazing potential.

I know how you feel. The Atrix forum, I felt, was never the most helpful of places. When I had my htc DHD, that forum was much more helpful.
Anyhow onwards & upwards - My Nexus came the other day so my Atrix is gather dust, probably chuck it in the bin shortly.

Actually, ICS isn't all that bad.

Haven't been in this forum in awhile. Last I read, the initial official ICS upgrades were buggy, esp with wifi issues. Is this UK version solid? Any known issues? Thanks!

I was full of anticipation when I read the op message, but. STILL, no official update available for P6800. Why is it that since purchasing this device over one year ago, I have not had ONE official ota update for my SIM free, unrooted UK p6800? Neither can I update via Kies! I still have gingerbread for gods sake! Am I the only one in UK with this frustration?

your device might not be Uk origin... it might be import from HK or other countries... so Kies OTA wont work... dont wait any longer... just download the firmware and flash using odin... all the tutorial are here... its as simple as follow it... and you'll have JB (although currently only SEA region release)

You probably mean Honeycomb. The P6800 has never had Gingerbread.
The best choice for any Samsung device is to upgrade using Odin (or Mobile Odin). Kies is seriously bad (iTunes-level bad), and the OTA never worked for me except for minor updates. You can be on Jelly Bean for your P6800 right now, if you want to.

They need to make translations for specific countries,or another reason.there is always paperwork,even though it is stupid,and not needed in this case.

I also do not understand the update policy from Samsung. It can not be so hard to roll out a fix for all at the same time(nearly).

i personally find Samsung update policy to be retarded. Acer were able to announce a month or so out when an update would be available, at least Acer Australia would, they might miss the mark by a week or two, but they put that out there. Samsung NZ says they are not advised of when an update will take place until the week it will be released in NZ.
At least to me this is where Apple and Windows are better, they roll out an update it goes to everyone regardless of country and carrier in the case of phones. Android the developers and the carriers screw around to where updates can take half a year to reach the product once Google release it.
weird that you have to wait 5 minutes to edit a mistake out of a post. ok for new members but when you have been a member for over a year.

Well SAMSUNG said that the 4.2 will come until September,so i am using PAC until that moment
I was talking to my friend who owns an iphone 5 and the tab 10.1,and he agreed that SAMSUNGs policy with updating,and updating between devices is crappy.And he laughed when i explained how my 2 gen tab will end on the same upgrade like his 1st gen tab :silly:
