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.
Froyo rolling out in UK Nov 4
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!".

Hmm. My read of the actual text that Samsung sent out is not actually any different than it was a week or so ago: the i9000 will probably have 2.2 sometime before the end of the month, along with the rest of the UK/Europe. I really don't see anything in the "official" Samsung notice that indicates Verizon, or any other US carrier.
However, since the blog posts cite "Some information" for "somewhere around 11th, November as a FINAL release date" (How's that for ambiguous, "somewhere around", but it's also "FINAL"...), I'll be guardedly optimistic.
Make that HEAVILY GUARDEDLY optimistic...
Verizon will decide when its released, not Samsung.
it says late in November for the carrier branded versions

I don't care. Wait before you flame, please...
I spent the last year with an Omnia, and I tried every possible rom on it until I found the one I liked/could put up with the missing features. It wasn't perfect, but I knew that a sweet android phone was in my upgrade future so I dealt. WinMo has it's flaws, but you can't fault the dev community for everything they did to make an ok device better.
Now here I sit swyping on arguably the best hardware on the market (other Galaxy S offerings aside...) and I have to say I really like it.
Voodoo-ed, de-binged, de-odexed, and de-TouchWizzed is way easier than trying a dozen roms on a weekend and adding .cabs from 100 websites to come up with a phone that still half the time didn't know where my finger was trying to press!
What does FroYo have to offer? Apps that run off the SD card? Flash? Minor, although it is a bit frustrating that by the time we get it, it will just about be time for gingerbread.
Guess I'm trying to say, the best stuff about froyo is going to get too us sooner or later whether VZW or Samsung give it to us or the very talented dev community here makes it happen. News that comes from them isn't why I log in here.

As for Froyo, I am excited to have flash, but beyond that, voodoo seems to meet my needs. Sure, you can't get rid of voodoo without performing a animal sacrifice, but it does make my phone smooth and sexy.

Quoted from original post 'No More pulling-out!!' That's what she said! Ha Ha...
I'm sorry I couldn't help it. I wont do it again I swear.
Honestly I can't wait to see what magic the dev community creates with Froyo and the Fascinate. My thanks to all of you!!!
Hopefully what happened with all the Droid 1 releases is what will happen here:
Motorola (in this case Samsung) readies a build, gives it to VZW for testing.
VZW takes forever testing it, and either rejects or preps it for release.
The "hopefully" part is that, hopefully, in the meantime, the file gets leaked from the Samsung end and into our hands.
Not trying to be pessimistic, but if that first file didn't leak, Im doubtful that this one will leak early either
If Verizon decides to sit on the release at least we have US Cellular as a backup. In fact it seems like US Cellular does not waste their time with carrier customizations so they might just push it out the same day they get it from Samsung.
I used to be a US Cellular customer, my wife still is, they will not get in any hurry, I would not count on them for anything.

You missed the point of the post bud.
Verizon, or any carrier, does NO customizations, they have NO development (read: coding) teams. They don't alter the file they receive from the OEM (in this case Samsung) in ANY WAY. The bloatware you see comes with the build straight out of Samsung's repository, with the specs that Verizon requested. They take their sweet time for a multitude of reasons, and somewhere in that timeframe its held up for internal testing. Each carrier is different, but Verizon is notorious for being an extensive tester, and rejecting builds pretty often.
Bloatware that Samsung did not code....VZW did or outsourced. Hence people are arguing with you. You aren't wrong, but neither are you entirely correct.

I made this post to give some indication of the progress of Froyo, sadly most people want more or are intent on offering some type of dark cloud.
I know Froyo might not be released on the 11th, but at least we have a legit source of its progress. Hopefully around that time or before we will have a leaked build for testing and or roms (like some other devices). I'm sure thats when the dev section will take off.
well if samsung releases it Nov 11, dont they post the source up too, so we could have a modded version running before vzw does anything?
Still nothing on my Honor 7...
Did anyone get the official update? I thought that they would not delay updates, since they want to become a top brand.... but seems that they disappoint users...

Hah got MM in early december
Hauwei can take all the time they need to get it right before the MM release, in no rush here.
So in terms of reliably giving us updates there is no change for Huawei since 2 years ago

To be honest it's no difference from most mobile manufacturers. Even Motorola took their time when Lollipop came out, and they are known for (supposedly) releasing updates quickly.
Would you rather Huawei took their time making sure that an update is as bug free as possible, or rush it out with problems? (They have stated there was a major issue with the beta release on one of their twitter feeds).
don't expect much from a china company.
guys, honestly, how can you be disappointed in huawei for the the way they have handled updates rollout so far?? with plk-l01 we had 8 official updates, b180 runs pretty smooth and we are only a few weeks away from mm.
if they need more time checking for bugs and fixing issues, so be it!
bear in mind that they aren't using a proprietary OS, so setbacks and delays are part of the deal.
don't forget only MS and Apple can produce a 100% sure timeline for updates, their phones are running on proprietary OS, and if they couldn't keep their promises about updates i would definitely be mad at them, but you can't blame huawei for wanting to release stable updates instead of bugged ones.
after all, you could always turn to Nexus if you wanted to have an android smartphone with weekly updates
Nowadays nobody has the great virtue called "patience".
I just don't understand people who live in a world where there biggest worry is the Antutu score and having the latest update sooner than anyone...
Really, I'm still on B170 have no notification problems and no battery drain whatsoever. I am so pleased with my actual experience with the Honor 7 PLK-01 that I have no need for updating now. The only reason I would hit the update button is for a very important security risk.
You talk about patience and give honor a break ect but they are the ones saying it was going to be released last month. They created this problem. They should not lie. They should be more professional instead of giving an impression they have not got a clue what they are doing anymore.
But hey ho go and flash B320 MM it is a good update and I've been running it for a while.
Huawei haven't lied. This is software development where you have a timescale, and if an issue is found that needs more time to resolve, then it needs more time. Good to see they are taking time to get MM right before release.
Anyone wanting permanent updates (weekly) can switch to Xiaomi. THEN you´ll see bug and stability complains.
But hey, they have weekly updates that sometimes fix something and creates other problems. Also updates for useless features that the vast majority of their forum users (customers) regards as so.

Xiaomi has 2 kind of updates, beta weekly and stable monthly. New features are somethimes useless, but others are a miracle,like permissions that are part Of xiaomi rom from 3 years,and google put them on android in M release... I have huawei and i think it's a good company also for the update process of this terminal, but it is impossible to make a perfect policy, and make all people happy. Even google with nexus line does not nake happy everyone, so

Stable monthly are not that stable and misses features the hardware supports. Been there among complainers for some years.
This is my third Huawei, so I think these phones are really good value. Even i bought one when people didn't even know the brand. BUT if they want to be a top brand somethings should be fixed, and one of them is to give proper deadlines for updates... usually you don't own a phone that long in order to wait manufacturers... This was one of the worst things of Microsoft last year, when we were waiting to release Windows mobile 10, and they lost a lot of customers, including myself.
I just hope they will fix some normal issues, for example: get notifications without power management stopping everything..

This type of discussion should be kept in the Blackberry Beta Zone forums and not here. If you are part of the beta program then you can read a lot of posts about how other users in the Beta are not happy with those that are leaking because it can cause a complete shutdown of the Beta Program as it did with the BB 10 Beta. So we don't end up with what is going on at CrackBerry I recommend that the mods lock this thread as any posts about the beta violate the NDA that we all in the program signed.
Why would be any NDA on a beta testing?

I am sure that if Blackberry wanted to fully stop them... they would under the NDA. They have done this in the past with leakers. All I am stating is that people who participate in a program with an NDA should follow the rules. People that don't follow the rules are the ones that ruin it for everyone else and normally the first ones to complain about something being taken away. This is because they don't get to be a hero and post information.
Please keep communications about the Beta in the Beta Zone. This way we don't lose the ability for future testing of software from Blackberry, like they did with BB10.
I want to add that the reason there is an NDA is so people don't release a copy of the OS, screenshots and other data. That is because this is a Beta and Blackberry was nice enough to let users test it and have input into what they would like to see in the OS and find bugs that need to be fixed. Blackberry could have done like a lot of other OEMs and kept everything internal until release.
My stance on this is that we have not received anything from RIM about this being copyrighted, or a C&D or anything of the sort.
If someone agrees to an NDA, then that is between them and the entity with whom they agree on an NDA.
But according to the link provided in the OP, it says nothing about anything being confidential in any way, nor does it preclude our forum users from discussing it.
So we will watch the thread but right now I see no reason to close it or take action on it.
Public Release
http://www.marketwired.com/press-re...n-android-marshmallow-nasdaq-bbry-2118387.htm
Android 6.0.1 has been public released by BB. Still delayed for carrier purchased devices but if you have a non-carrier purchased device you should start getting it. The beta program will still go on. So if you want to join you can.
Telus also shaduled MM for priv and the date decided is may 3
This is my first time coming back to the forums in a while after upgrading from my old Droid 4. I just got a notification on mine about a system update. I take it this is the Marshmallow upgrade. My Priv is Verizon branded. I'll go ahead and install it.
Edit: Still running 5.1.1. Not too sure what all was updated.

I would say no as Verizon devices are not in the Beta. I would say that might be a security update. Blackberry has been great in sending out the security updates.
BlackBerry expands their Android beta program to include BlackBerry-authored apps
To anyone else in the UK with an unlocked Priv from CPW (STV100-4), like me who is fed up of waiting for the OTA Marshmallow update. I followed the instructions on BB's official support page here to install MM: http://uk.blackberry.com/content/bl...pport/smartphones/blackberry-PRIV/reload.html
Does involve a factory reset though but works great

Got the OTA Marshmallow update today (STV100-4 one from CPW in the UK). Gone from the manually flashed version above (Android 6.0.1 Build AAE570) to the OTA version (still 6.0.1 AAF057), not spotted any changes yet other than now having the June 1st security patch included.
I also got this update yesterday. For me it improved performance quite a bit and battery life seemed to be better, as far as I can tell from a few hours of usage.
But my annoying problem with the phone randomly not deep sleeping anymore, being awake permanently until a reboot and draining my battery is still there.
First off let me say I Do Not intend for this to be another whine thread....
Just wanted to reach out and see if anyone has had any signs of an update. I recall from one of the previous now closed threads started one user mentioned the 5th as being a possible date. Though seemingly arbitrary date the 5th is here.
People chime in if you get the notification!
Nothing for me yet.
It probably won't come out until the new Google phones do. I know it's difficult for flashaholics, but be patient.
Now I'm waiting for the September security update for Marshmallow, maybe it will be late too. They seem to be in a huge work.
This thread is the best sign.

That's what intended mine to be, but it went south so fast! Lol no sign for me yet, I'm hoping maybe by tonight. It's REALLY behind said release date. Staying optimistic!
This is the only sign from Google I have seen.
Absolutely notting here. Not even the sept security update.
There will be a September in 2017,too
If I'm remembering the same post, a user speculated that the update would be tied to the September monthly security update. That seemed like pure speculation. I hope the updates are posted soon but I don't think today will be the day, since it is already the afternoon and a business holiday. Hope I'm wrong!
Hope it's soon.

Yeah Im ready for the official build too, this NPD90G preview wants me to want more, or at least some minor fixes.
No updates.............there will be speculations.
No speculations.....probably updates.
From what I've heard Qualcomm needs to do some driver upgrades for full Android N Support. If that is the case, it would explain why Google hasn't released the update yet, they simply can't until Qualcomm delivers. I can imagine Qualcomm has their hands full at the moment with all the smartphone companies out their requesting driver updates to support Android N as well.
I don't have any references for this, as I read it in a post somewhere but don't remember where. Don't take my word for it. But of course it would be interesting if someone could confirm or deny this.
I don't expect the update any time soon, but at least the latest beta runs very smoothly on my device. Can't complain at the moment.
Thats what has confused me DP5 runs well so id have thought it was near release quality but I guess not with the update taking so long. As far as qualcomm surely google should be the highest priority for drivers/updates given that they build the entire base that all other android phones base off? So an N driver for a specific SoC should work for all devices using that SoC?
I'm pretty satisfied with the Uber N ROM as is.
What @onemandivision said is correct, driver updates are critical. It's not just the kernel and the android base.
I'm a little confused by the delay though since it is already clear that phones on chips older than snapdragon 800/801 won't get nougat (ie 65-70% of all android phones according to some surveys), so there should be very few drivers to update/fine tune? Am I wrong?

Well you could argue a few ways.
One - would you rather have rushed software with bugs, or tested software that works?
Two - there are a few models from the Samsung line so newer should get priority over older.
Three - Samsung should release less devices to show work on upgrades for existing users. Most people will upgrade at end of contract, which in most cases is 18 months to two years. So having a new product every two years will lead to better tech than the predecessor and a more unified user base with devices and more satisfied customers.
Sadly, business works on ever growing profit margins, so having a two year gap in growth would look bad for investors and other companies could surpass Samsung in growth in that time making the new models cost more to make up the previous years loss.
You could argue yes but its even out of the Oneplus 3 now, I wont be wasting hundreds with Samsung again..........oh and it wasn't really an argument you gave because Samsung has tested it, their just dripping the final release so only a handful of people have it

Well, I'm going to post from the other side of the tacks on this one. I came to the S7 Edge from a 6P. I was even part of the beta program and got updates faster than anyone else. You know what? Whoopdeedo. There was nothing even in the last release version of N (7.1.1) that I had on the 6P that this S7 Edge can't and didn't already do long before it was put into vanilla Android. The upgrade to N will come to the S7 Edge shortly. Even here in Canada where updates seem to take forever from carriers, it is noted as coming soon, so we should see it in the next month or so.
But really, this phone is already performing so much better for me that the 6P ever did and has everything software wise and more than I ever had with straight N Android. Not sure why the updates are seemingly so important to some. This phone works great right now and my battery life is off the charts compared to the 6P on the latest version of N. Besides, N is coming to our phones shortly as well. As someone mentioned above, because it is taking longer, at least it won't be riddled with bugs and battery drain like on the 6P for me.

Well, don't speak for everyone. I'm with Rogers here in Canada and they JUST posted "Coming Soon" on their website. So it's only been about a week or so since my carrier has said it is coming. Not Samsung's fault the carriers take forever to get their crap in there and test their version.
http://www.dailystar.co.uk/tech/news/575565/Android-Nougat-Samsung-Galaxy-S7-update-release-date
Like I said I wont be giving hundreds to a supplier that extracts the urine like this, I might even get the Oneplus 4 when its out, they've released it for the 3 now
I got fed up waiting for Singapore to update to Nougat, so I just flashed, with Odin, the Malaysian Nougat update, using my Home CSC. Worked perfectly, not data lost. My phone is not rooted
Well, the unlocked version in US is independent on carriers and does not has Nougat yet. It is not the carrier's fault if Samsung has multiple versions of the same phone and decides to update only a subset of all the versions.

No doubt there are bugs they can't fix and that's the real question: why samsung with their multimillion budget to hire skilled devs can't provide quality software update in time? Not to mention how many people replaced they catching fire note 7 with s7e... good strategy to treat all of them like that. Let's not forget that in 2017 even the normal user is becoming more and more aware about updates and their importance about his experience. After all, they can afford to hire more than one A team working on their flagship phone and attach it to s7/s7e development. If the patch BTU update works well I can guess they will start to roll out around the mid/end next week. Still, for me this is a really bad rollout, especially if we consider the beta test period.
