that* his*

Maybe we should tell him the "Verizon" story?

He adressed the issue in his post, don't worry. He's happy that Google is selling the Galaxy Nexus in their website again.

Japan is set to update to 2.1 in September...

Has anyone in other countries got any news that they will see 2.1 soon?
Where did you get this info from?
http://japanese.engadget.com/2010/04/28/xperia-android-2-1/
Ah, reading it again said it wasn't for sure - and was based on an UK announcement ^^;;
I remember i've read somewhere (forgot where) a Rogers rep. saying X10 will get 2.x in September.
So, i assume is true now that 2 sources made the same announcement.
Problem is, we need firmware updates in meantime to fix those damn bugs we have.
September seems likely for 2.x... hopefully 2.2.
However, I would caution believing anything Engadget posts about the X10. They have posted numerous unsubstantiated rumors about the X10 over the past few months, and most have been incorrect.

Well, then let's hope Rogers will push it
If not, i'll really have to debrand it ...
Yeah, I'm thinking the same. If baseband .16 is released for the X10a before Rogers releases it (which is likely), I'll then de-brand.

Froyo Available Via Kies -official Worldwide Release Oct 16-28 for Samsung Galaxy S

Rumors:Samsung Galaxy S to Get Froyo Around 23rd September?
It’s always a good thing when a company keeps their word. In the world of Android, it doesn’t always happen, especially when it comes to release dates for firmware updates. However, it seems like Samsung will indeed stay true to their promise that the international-spec Galaxy S (i9000) will be receiving its update to Android 2.2 by the end of September. A source from within the Finland branch of Samsung has disclosed that Samsung’s repairs department will be:
“definitely receiving new software for repairing froyo builds on the 22nd of September, with the build expected to be released on the 23rd”
There are two important points to make of this. Firstly, if this is what is planned in Finland, then it’s logical that the release in other countries should happen at a similar time. So while I cannot say with full confidence that the global release will be on September 23rd, it does at least seem like a good starting point, if nothing else. Secondly, this information only relates to the i9000 Galaxy S. While it is fully possible that the four USA Galaxy S devices will receive froyo around this time, we cannot be sure of this based upon this information alone. In the meantime, let’s hope that this information is accurate, and that the Galaxy S receives its helping of Froyo soon.
thanks for sharing but this is old news
How about HTC Desire getting theirs from T-Mobile today then ?

I read the news 3 days ago, I know that it is an old news the fact that in Semptember, or late September the Froyo will be launched for Samsung Galaxy S, but I never read until now the exact date

Awesome news for you
sorry miss read
I am thinking that since I was opened this threat, we can post on which country the update will be release when will be released, because I am afraid that is not going to be worldwide and I am guessing that also depends a lot if the phone if locked on a network or purchased network-free.

Well it's not going to be world wide same time. And I sure hope it's not going to be on 23rd this month, cause it's not good at all, if it will be like the release of 9/9/2010 leaked froyo. It is NOT ready.
If they release it like this, it will be like Epic Fail.
if you are asking a question then add a question mark to the thread title please. it saves people from clicking into a useless thread. and when i say useless i mean it really is old news and there will be nothing but speculation in here.
Looks like upgrade will be later than expected
According to an article over at brighthand.com, Froyo won't come to us until late October now.
Yep, I read about it all day - now the only thing that I am curious is if this announcement is for worldwide or not
I hate you for bumping this thread and giving my false hopes ;(. And it's not -official-, it's news based on a rumor.
If it was official it would be a worldwide announcement by Samsung...

Android 2.2 Froyo, UXP & Multitouch for Xperia X10 in Q1 2011

Android 2.2 Froyo, UXP & Multitouch for Xperia X10 in Q1 2011
Real or Fake?
http://gadgets.apnafundaz.com/2010/11/android-2-2-froyo-uxp-multitouch-for-xperia-x10-in-q1-2011-bert-nordberg-ceo-sony-ericsson-or-fake-id/
Oh God, I hope that's not your website, because that design is absolutely hideous, the writing is terrible, the site is over-cluttered with ads, and he doesn't even link to the original tweet.
Also: Look at the actual twitter account.
First hint it's fake? The writing is grammatically poor.
Second (more obvious hint it's fake): "Twitter for Blackberry", because he wouldn't use his own products on Android or Symbian
Third hint: It's not a Verified Account
Fourth hint: All the people he's following are Indonesian. Do you think the CEO of a Global Company would only follow a bunch of people from Indonesia?
Anyway, it looks like some ****stirrer trying to stir up some ****. Sigh.
Yeah fake and the website sucks too. My browser stuck
Now that's what I like to call a Suckathon.
Umm there actually is a multitouch update coming out in Q1 2011... that part was not fake.
That twitter account already disappeared so yeah, fake.
And leave Manish's site alone
i can live with single touch... anyway, i'm have been using my x10 single handedly...
I have heard the same thing from a friend that work at SE in Sweden actualy, but it´s still just a rumor. She can not tell me exactly what it is because she knows that i hang around forums like this and she do not trust me that i wont tell. I have also heard that it is a chance that android 2.3 will be on x10 in the beginning of next year. But it is just rumor, SE is good to keep there secrets.

I'd totally marry her for this info. HAHA.just.kidding
UK SE on facebook confirmed the twitter account is fake......
From the "official" blog on the SE site:
Pinch Zoom "The timing for this update is still a bit work in progress but it will for most markets be during Q1 next year" Here for full details http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/products/2010/11/17/work-ongoing-on-pinch-zoom-for-xperia-x10/ there are some limitations on function.

Did they deny what's coming in the update though? Would really like just 2.2 on x10...
Multi-touch is real and there is another update coming out in Q1 2011... though it isn't 2.2. It's just an expansion to the current 2.1. will probably change our firmware version from 2.1 Update-1 to 2.1 Update-2 or something.
I label this as FAKE

Sony Development Contribution

Guys, sony seems to be really pushing development and supporting it a lot here in the community as well. Not sure how many read this article, really interesting:

That's really great of Sony, but shouldn't this really be an alpha of 4.2.1 at this stage? Samsung already released their official 4.1.2 and are now working on bringing 4.2.1 to our phones. Not really sure whether this qualifies Sony as a "terrific" OEM.

sony takes tad bit more time for sure, but atleast they dont release softwares in hurry with massive bugs like bricking isssues, and security exploits etc. etc and then release more updates after that to fix those
and also samsung released half done sources..
sony takes slight more time, but never has those issues. they release alpha builds and also sources along with that, which is fantastic!
sony is catching up for sure..

Yup. Seriously, I'll take Sony's well-polished ICS over Samsung's half-assed cobbled together JB 4.1 any day of the week.
Xperia T was the longest I've lasted with stock on any phone in quite some time, despite the fact that it was running ICS when every other device I owned and still used was running CM10.1...

SEMC/Sony ROMs have always been well polished and very stable... i have used them on Xperia X10 (QSD8250) -> Xperia Arc (MSM8255) -> Xperia S (MSM8260) -> Xperia T (MSM8960) and they just keep getting better
their GB ROM was ROCK solid...
Honestly I would go back to GB on my SOLA only because some apps are incompatible is what's stopping me.

Which means, it could be the end of the month. So we'll have people whining on Dec. 2nd about "where is it". They also stated again about phased rollouts.
So we'll have people posting on Dec. 31st how they'll "never buy sony again" because their device has not yet updated. That'll be good times again!

This is a GOOD NEWS!!!
At least SONY is confirming that we have an upcoming updates... waiting patiently here,,, :angel:
If you believe Sony will update our tablet in a timely manner I have just one word for you, and that word is lol
I am just in the process of looking for a new tab. The Z is on my short list. It would be my first Sony. Strictly Asus until now. However, I noticed that the blog post specifically mentions handsets for the update? For those of you that are long term Sony owners, when you see a quote like the one above does that usually include the tablet version as well?
Update: Sorry, found a much more complete answer on their blog and YES it is absolutely confirmed.
http://www.xperiablog.net/2013/11/0...d&utm_campaign=Feed:+XperiaBlog+(Xperia+Blog)
Makes my decision a no brainer. Tab Z it is - ordering today.
Update again: And straight from Sony: http://blogs.sonymobile.com/2013/11/07/on-jelly-bean-4-3-kit-kat-4-4/
for all the haters here and does not know the word patient, you better sell your sony Xperia and buy a Nexus device for faster updates. or better buy an ios for a monthly update.hehehe lol..peace mates...
we should be thankful their confirming those future updates... be cool guys...
