Will we get Froyo automatically?

I hate to have to ask this question, but I've read 6 or 7 threads in the last hour and can't find a straight answer. I'm in S. FL. Will Froyo be updated on our phones automatically?
I understand I can update manually, but I don't have time for that, which is part of the reason I left WinMo.

If you are on stock Android 2.1 (Eclair), you will get the update over the air within the next 3 days.
If you are not stock Android 2.1 (Eclair), you won't.

Yes. If you are not rooted and stock rom, you'll get a notice on your phone over the next few days when it's your area's turn. If you are rooted, you should still get it if you are on stock rom and all the bloatware is still there.

Perfect! Exactly what I needed to know. I'll just wait 3 days, thanks.

The first update we received a few months back took a week to get to my phone, and it kept popping up at rather inconvenient times when it finally showed. The visual voice mail update took 4 weeks to get to my phone. I'm in Central FL
I did the simple update method, which I posted about here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=964260. I had my update installed before most OTAs, and I did it on my time. You could do it on your lunch break without issue.

you know it just takes 10 minutes right.
do it while you're taking a dump or something

Oh ah um, yeah, they don't update people in S. FL.
Location has NUTZINK to do with it.

Ok, so it's now a week later and still no update. Will this update ever be pushed?

The update has been temporarily suspended, its been causing a lot of trouble with peoples phones. If you really want it, you're going to have to use the update.zip.

Ok, at this rate I will never get an update pushed to my phone. I wonder if its safe for me to just update manually.

Just realize that the Samsung tool wipes everything on your phone, and if you are on stock 2.1 I don't think there is any good way to back up everything. (no clockwork backup and titanium wont work w/o root)

My backup pro works just fine. it will save data and apps with data.

So is that it, Samsung not going to release the fixed Froyo!? After waiting eternity, Samsung released a long over due Froyo just to shutup pissed customers, only for the release to be buggie and them take it down shortly after and totally forget about us again! I think this will be the last Samsung phone I ever buy!
Samsung = company that only cares about future products...not supporting current/old ones.

Gingerbread Confusion???

I know there are about 12,000 threads on Gingerbread, but I have yet to see anyone point out a link or a website or anything where we can go to confirm when Gingerbread has been OFFICIALLY released for the Epic 4G. The last I heard on these forums, it was last slated for the last week of July. It's now the last day of July, but I don't see any posts about an official release and how/where to get it. And I keep seeing the word "STOCK" in the mod rom forum, which is confusing...have they officially released Gingerbread for the Epic 4G yet? If not, is there a new date for it's release? Is there a website or specific thread that I can routinely check that will announce when it's out? I just saw a thread showing a leaked pic about the EOL for the Epic 4G in October of this year. Having just switched from the Tilt 2 on AT&T to the Epic 4G on Sprint 2 months ago, I'm not fond of seeing that my new phone will be out of date in another 2 months.
Can anyone clear up some of this confusion?
Thanks.

there is no official release date. what you see in development are leaks.

No official release yet. Just leaks.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

That's just when they are going to stop manufacturing new ones. There's plenty of development left to come. Right now it looks like a possible September release for the official. These leaks come out and its almost as if we are Samsung's beta testers used to search out the glitches. The EG22 leak is actually pretty good. If you are big on GPS use, you may want to go with the EE03 modem. As far as an official release date, as soon as its known, you will se a thread here with a link to the source of the info almost immediately. Try out a few of the GB ROMs here. There are some very nice ones. If you want a Froyo ROM that has everything working, try SRF 1.2 or Urban Regeneration.

I agree schnowda. Not everybody lives on XDA. Some people just come on here to get info and goodies. There's no need to tear everyone a new a$$hole.

But also, according to Tweets from Samfirmware, they have information of two builds to be released Mid and/or late August at least from what I've gathered, so we've leaks but we're close to a possible Official Release.
A while back didn't someone say that Samsung guaranteed us two more updates? I couldn't even attempt to find the thread it was mentioned in, can't remember any title it would belong to.

Yup, I was told that by someone on G-Talk as well. I was told 2 more leaks by the end of August. That's why I said maybe September. I don't mind. Let them fix that modem. Let the GPS get fixed at least as good as Froyo and the stock browser and such. The leaks are good enough to keep people happy for now. I am patient. I still use Froyo as my daily.

If that's the case on another test leak for us...they might as well release some source code for custom kernels and so we can resume work on our CM7 builds #fairtosay....you think they will?

In an ideal world I'd like to think so, but for that they probably in the end would want more premium accounts and possibly couldn't deliver something as pivotal as that, I'd like to hope I'm proven wrong honestly.

No ICS for Slider?

On the ASUS Facebook page this morning, I read an ASUS response to a question about when ICS would be coming to the Slider - "No plans for it at this time." I thought devices were supported for more than 6 months after release....

What's funny is in the dlpkg that came in with the OTA firmware update yesterday, there are files buried in it that have TF101 and SL101 versions, so it seems that if nothing else they are working on the SL101 ICS update, whether they plan on releasing it is another thing..I mean it was a patch, and it would seem pretty pointless to include or to even create lib archive files and such that were for the SL101 if they didn't intend on even having an ICS release for it..but, it is newer than the TF101 isn't it? So maybe they haven't had as much time to work on it like they did with the TF101..and the TF101 ICS update still was not ready for primetime IMO.
In other words, I think in due time the slider will be updated.

i have a rooted TF101 but my buddy at work has a SL101. he dowloaded the ics for the TF101 and installed that. works perfect, he is unrooted.

Official Jelly Bean

Hi,
Just read this on this web site http://www.themobileindian.com/news/7795_Acer-to-upgrade-several-Iconia-tablet-to-Android-4.1

Sent from my A501 using xda app-developers app

As far as I know there hasn't been official confirmation by Acer to the public yet but yes, several "blogs" have claimed that Acer has confirmed to them that the A500 will get Jelly Bean eventually. Personally I don't see why it wouldn't unless they EOLed the A500 and even then it'd really be a burn for them not. Take it as a grain of salt until you see Acer throw something up on Facebook though....which they may or may not do since they've gotten crap every time they promised an update (and it came later than promised).

Acer South Africa replied to my email saying that the A500 will be getting Jelly Bean but they don't know when.

Why, Oh Why, did I buy the flagship product from Acer (at the time)? Maybe I should have gone for a Sammy instead...

If JB is anything like ICS 4.0.3, then no thanks.

Best part about a500 receiving JB is possibility of XDA developers like Civato getting their hands on source code and tweaking it. If you haven't tried out his ICS Stryker ROM then flash it to see true potential of a500 hardware. I've been switching between that and CM10 JB ROM which is also very stable now. JB has serious potential especially once you include a kernel from ezterry or linuxsociety.

Thanks

For what it was worth I was running a rooted tab with CWM installed and the update to 4.04 went smooth as butter for me, and it even kept root and all my apps that require root. No issues whatsoever.
It is MUCH better now than with 3.2 btw

Lol I hate that the 3G people are able to get it before the wifi people. I initially gotten the wifi tablet because I was under the assumption that Samsung would release it first because Rogers would have to do their thing to it which would take twice as long.
Oh well my Nexus 7 is easing the stress of Samsung.

Rogers 7500, took the upgrade via Kies, all went good, installed cwm 5.then rooted all is good...... Sent from my GT-P7500R using xda premium

I got tired of waiting when I heard the update was pushed back to September so I went ahead and installed the Pershoot CM10 rom. Now its going to be a tough decision to go back and install the official ICS update. Either way, getting the Tab off Honeycomb made a huge difference.

And Rogers released 2 days ago according to OP. Where do they find this kind of farfetched mis-information? I know that all dates are tentative, but this is where they wet their thumbs, stick em up in the air and guess what weather it is in the Antarctic...
I am still hoping for a very near P7510 ICS release, or CM10, with limited Camera functionality, will be the way to go... Not that I won't go that path anyhoo...

With cm9 (7510) pretty much fully functional now I'm done with my weekly restores to 3.2 . When the 7510 ics releases I'll grab it just to have for warrenty purpose and upload it for people who forget to backup before they play but all the apps I use from the stock us rom work on cm9 from TB backups. Heck can even install apex launcher and touchwiz addon for the Samsungish look :good:

I am running stock US and am already over my warranty period. Lol, screw the wait! There is so much good stuff here I dont think I could go back if I tried. Once the stock firmware is available tho I will do what bertie is doing and just grab the TAR.

Cool

To be fair, they released 5 days before September. I fail to see any far fetched mis-information.
I mean they could have held the update until September 10th and still been in early September.
