Today is September 23, no Froyo for Samsung galaxy s?

Samsung promised that today should upgrade SGS to Froyo, but nothing??

ROFLMAO!!
Nobody promised anything

No. Not today.

It's better that way instead of another crappy firmware and this time official. They will go to hell if they do that

Samsung just announced that there will be no froyo for galaxy s. Are you happy now

Hi vlad,
As reported in several other topics, September 23 was less than a rumour, Samsung never said officially that this was "Froyo day".
AFAIK what we know by now is that T-Mobile branded SGS should be upgrade before the end of the month (which could mean even on 09/30), and it looks like that no brand SGS won't be upgraded before mid october.
Again, what we are talking about are just rumours, there's no official date from sammy.
Still I'd rather wait few days more and get a decent firmware.
edit: please try to make a search next time, before posting.

totally useless to open a topic about something that not happened,

I do not know. No. Yes.

Lets just wait for it when it comes. Lets not speculate. Let Samsung build a decent firmware with all the important fix especially to enable JIT. I am happy with JPH for now.

not in the development child forum! dewdoodude.

The only official statements from Samsung (in facebook) is End of September for UK, End of October for Spain, India,... T-Mobile also stated End of September for their clients...
Saw some statements from users that contacted their operator and in some cases it will be available this week....
Definitelly it will not be released Worldwide at the same time. Patience.

+1 Agree. I'm Still with the official JM2 and I'm not in a hurry to get Froyo unless it fixes the pending issues.
(I hope this is not the same as Micro$oft and it's Windows Vista. )

The morale of the story is to be happy with what you have (eclair) and don't wait for froyo.
Otherwise buy some other phone which already has froyo.

Keep waiting... Maybe we will get froyo during christmas. Presents from Samsung.

For waiting the official froyo, i just flash the jm8 with rom tatayuma....

Even with the 'end of September' comment they still didn't say which year.

Haha Verry funny, maybe 2012 when at the end of the world

Quoted from Samsung Mobile Singapore Facebook:
Hi Muhd, our local R&D team have not passed the Froyo software as yet. We are trying to rush HQ to send us the new software for testing. Realistically, we would expect some delay with this week being the Korean Thanksgiving holiday week. We will keep everyone posted on the timeline as soon as we get confirmation.
Hi Weijian, we would love to but these are all controlled by our HQ in Korea. This week being Korean Thanksgiving holiday week does not help. The current Froyo software being tested locally is not satisfactory so there is a good chance the official release to end consumer will be in Oct.
The Koreans are in holiday. Not froyo day apparently.

Good one

My title on the thread was wrong.
Samsung Electronics Nordic gave me the info about 2.2 froyo release for Samsung Galaxy S

i couldn't find the system spec on google
could any Nordic fan, post some hardware info about the phone?

THERE IS NO PHONE, just that it will be a update for 2.2 froyo for samsung galaxy s at the end of sep and start of oct

Not quite sure if you're joking or not, AllGamer, but as OP said; The Nordic countries, the northwestern European countries of Scandinavia (Norway, Sweden, Denmark), as well as Iceland and Finland..
Just to clear things up.

it was not a joke google showed http://nordic.samsungmobile.com/
going into all 4 of the sites they all show the same model of phone and advertizing the features, but there was no spec posted for the phone shown
glanted not having a clue what the page says, might not even be related to the phone shown on the page

It just takes you to a page for the Samsung Wave S8500

What is your point, really?
If the Nordics get the FroYo update to their Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000's (which is the "generic" European version) in the late September (week 39) or early October (weeks 40-41), it is advantage to us.
We just hope (fingers crossed), that if it arrives (I don't trust that schedule), there are the most bugs solved.

From Engadget: Samsung comes clean with Galaxy S Froyo upgrade dates, in November

I see there's a lot of froyo update thread here, but this article is pretty new, so I guess I'd share it with you guys. (If the moderators deem this thread unnecessary, please , by all means, delete it). Anyways, here's the news:
The Android 2.2 upgrade situation on the Galaxy S has been a veritable rollercoaster of emotions for owners recently, owing in no small part to the seemingly final firmwares that have been briefly posted and pulled from the company's servers in parts of the world over the past couple weeks. Nordic countries have already sample the goods, but Sammy says that a "new" firmware update will be available in early November in the UK and should hit "all operator versions" of the phone (presumably including the Vibrant, Captivate, Epic 4G, and Fascinate) by the end of November. YouMobile is reporting that existing regional updates have been pulled due to general not-awesomeness, so hopefully they'll have a chance to get it right over the next couple weeks before it starts hitting again. Follow the break for Samsung's press release. (open the page to see Samsung's press release, click the link below) I'll just go ahead and paste the Press Release here:
New Android 2.2 Upgrade Announced for Samsung Galaxy S
Latest Platform upgrade provides enhanced experience on the go
LONDON , UK – October 21, 2010 – Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., a leading mobile phone provider, today announces the Android™ 2.2 (Froyo) upgrade to the Samsung Galaxy S, giving users access to new features, enhanced navigation applications and improved, faster performance.
The super-slim Galaxy S is an award winning ultra-lightweight large screen Android smartphone. The Galaxy S features an incredible 4-inch Super AMOLED screen and a super-fast 1 GHz application processor, for an intelligent, immersive and integrated mobile experience. The Samsung Galaxy S has led the Android smartphone market since its UK launch this summer.
The Android 2.2 upgrade enhances the great experience of the Galaxy S, making even more of the processor speed, and the exclusive Super AMOLED screen.
The key benefits include:
Improved browser performance: enhances browsing, navigation and the 'pinch and zoom' feature
Enhanced user interface adding vivid colours and features to the android menu structure
Google Maps with Navigation: A GPS navigation system with voice guidance for a turn-by-turn navigation
Adobe Flash Player 10.1: the latest Flash Player for viewing video content
Enhanced user experience including message editing and the ability to save applications to memory card
Search in-browser: Google™, Translate, Wikipedia, Dictionary
Getting the upgrade
The Android 2.2 upgrade, will be available via Kies, Samsung's in-house software upgrade programme. Samsung has developed a brand new version of Kies which will be issued to make the upgrade experience as smooth as possible. The new version of Kies will be downloadable from www.samsungmobile.co.uk
Samsung will also be publishing video tutorials on how to upgrade, providing a step-by-step guide to the simple download process.
The Android 2.2 software is being fully tested with UK operators and the upgrade will be available in the UK from early November. We expect all operator versions of the software to be fully tested and downloadable by the end of November.
Simon Stanford, Managing Director, Mobile, Samsung UK and Ireland, comments; 'Samsung are committed to providing our customers with the best possible mobile experience, and this upgrade enhances the incredible features of the Galaxy S handset. We also want the upgrade process to be simple and hassle-free for customers, hence the new version of our Kies software and the step-by-step video guides.'

Let's just hope they do it right this time.
I don't mind the waiting, even if it comes out at the end of december,
as long as it's a quality release.

I fully agree with this, along with many that a good percentage of sgs owners have had a taste of froyo in many forms. But we would like samsung to take there time this time and just get it right.... for themselves and from a business point of view and DELIVER THE GOODS!!!!

The nordic firmware is really crappy so yes you can call it a beta version. It is not very good. But when the real thing is rolling out. How will i be able to get it? Reg hack?

You'd better be able to store a post code (a-z,0-9) OR zip code in contacts, not just zip codes (0-9) by then.

I don't trust it. I think we will get Froyo in 2011.

just as my original prediction goes
"Just in time for Xmas!"
merry Xmas from Samsung here's your Froyo "gift" just because you were all a good boy/girl waiting for it

Hmmmm, shame they couldn't get it right the first time! I'll give Sammy one more chance, but they better pull something special out of their hat!

Yup, really really special

ive got froyo with kies hack but all these delays are bull if you look at the galaxy k or the tab what are the running and getting released with froyo...the galaxy k is the same as the galaxy s but a smaller screen

Because the other firmwares have not been of beta standard? Just have a look at the 2.2 release status without reg. hack thread where you see all the latest releases on each country. Some are stuck in early 2.1 firmware. I rather have a beta 2.2 with all the goodies than a beta 2.1.
For the rest I agree to a degree. I doubt the november firmwares will be that good. I mean that's what people say all the time, "it's worth the wait". No it's not since we currently are on beta software with 2.1 and the wait will only bring a slightly less bad beta-level firmware.

Hi, can someone tell me what was wrong with the Nordic froyo firmware?
I did the registry hack and was able to get it through Kies. I am not noticing any bugs other than the weak GPS (Which I always had no matter what firmware I was running.)
Other than the GPS which is normally defective are there specific bugs with the Nordic version?
Nordic froyo version runs great for me, super fast!
thanks

As I have already mentioned in previous post. Merry X'Mas and perhaps a Happy New Year.

This is like the 3rd delay from official sources? I'm getting frustrated about it.
It's like you are waiting for a friend who told you he'll be there in 10min and he arrives 1 hour later. Again. And again.
Now, I don't mind to wait longer for a polished and bug free firmware, but I do mind this postponing thing.
Unprofessional by Samsung.

Ive come to expect nothing but this from Samsung.
(My first and last Samsung phone, for many other reasons)

I've already installed the beta nordic froyo 2.2. Does this mean i have to flash and erase all my data if i want to go to "official" froyo 2.2 ?

I'm using the Nordic JP6 firmware installed through Kies and the only real issue I have is with performance. Even with the Voodoo fix there is still noticeable lag in many applications (mainly built in Samsung ones) and the Browser is appalling performance wise, sometimes it lags for several seconds before scrolling.

New announcement: Final Date for Galaxy S update (Nov 11th)

As you probably know last Month that Samsung pulled-out the froyo Update files of the Samsung Galaxy S from its servers due to Many System Bugs that Made the Android froyo unstable and laggy. And Samsung UK confirmed on its twitter Status that the Froyo Update is Coming on November on its Final Version and to All Network operators and No More Delays...No More pulling-out!!
We Got Some Information that the Release Date of the Galaxy S Froyo update for USA Carriers and UK Carriers is somewhere around 11th November,2010 as a FINAL Release Date. Worldwide release will follow in few days after the Official Release of the Froyo ROM for Samsung Galaxy S, which Means that All Galaxy S users Worldwide (Include Middle-East and Arab gulf users) will get the update on November along with UK,USA Carriers too.
So The Update is Coming Finally and NO More Delays AT ALL... More Stable... More Smoother, its a matter of time right Now. As I always say "Waiting for the froyo to come-out, better than waiting for it to load!".

Cool, but disappointed to have to wait a few more weeks

They should use a better file system.
How fast do you think the Carphone Warehouse will have it (UK)? Or should I just get unbranded Europe?

Has that come from Samsung themselves ? and not third gay party ?

I'm sorry for that. The submiter is a Samsung Galaxy S forum somewhere - NOT RELATED WITH SAMSUNG.

Why would you think that? There is no news of the USA versions getting the update anytime soon and I bet the international version will be one of the first ones to get it. Just follow Samsung Mobile's official twitter accounts. Those are the only places I can trust with so many sites reporting this or that with no evidence.

10.1v 3.1 update

Is it ever gonna happen.
Or shall we move to xoom?
Honest question needs an honest answer

Especially sine vidafoine has already ditched 10.1v, I doubt it will be updated ever.
Sent from my GT-P7100 using XDA App

I asked my provider Vodacom (owned by Vodafone) about the 3.1 update for the Galaxy Tab 10.v. This is what I wrote to them:
"To whom it may concern
I have a contract with Vodacom ,and they gave me a Galaxy tab 10.1, but it only has Android 3.0.1 installed. I would like to know when Vodacom/Vodafone will release the software update to Android 3.1 so that I can finally attach USB devices to my Tablet. It is a little frustrating having old software while other tablet users already have the update (Take the Motorola XOOM for instance, and the fact that the Galaxy 10.1 is already shipping with Android 3.1 in the states).
So my honest opinion is if Vodacom wants to be a credible and reliable mobile operator selling the latest technology, then they must update their Tablets/Smartphone to the latest software promptly."
I'll post their reply here...

yeah that would be nice to wait for their answer. But i think vodafone wont follow the 3.1 update path cuz the update will be different for 3.1 v cuz it has 3g from the 3.1 update for wifi only version.
I personally think, since 10.1 is out......the development and tweaks here at xda will slowly die down for 10.1v.
Samsung does it again. Loyal customers are kicked out.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1129309

I already have 3.01. The most verifiable source would be vodafone to answer our questions.
Do we have 3.1 or not. !0.1 is already shipping with 3.1.

I finally got an answer from Samsung south Africa and the update is expected to come in August, at least on south Africa. So it seems like by September we'll have the 3.1 update.
Samsung promises me a follow up phone call with a data expect to explain more and if I get interesting information I will post it here.
What a mission to get anyone to speak on this...
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App

I got an answer from Vodacom directly and all they said was that Samsung had already released the 3.1 update and now vodacom's technicians were busy with it to ensure it was compatible with their services and network.
But no expected date for release was given.
Honestly though, My hopes are lying with the XDA community, I still think that if we can repartition the 10.1v then hopefully it will allow us to flash the 10.1 updates or roms with minimal effort. We have all the driver source codes for the 10.1v so hopefully that will also help things.

Twigster, just for interest's sake - to whom did you speak to at vodacom. Honestly speaking I found them unhelpful.
I'm not going to buy a network operator branded device again. My nexus is always yge first to get updates because it's unlocked.
Sigh

I emailed their support division for answers the day that 3.1 was released for the 10.1. They came back to me about two weeks later with that response. So no one in particular.

as our 10.1v is stock honeycomb cant we just update through google?
I thought that running stock was supposed to make us free from the carrier update chains..
anwyays, you can already flash 3.1 with touchwiz UX in the 10.1v developmet forums, so why not give it a shot if you really want 3.1?

Any new info? When to expect the 3.1 update...
