Guys... please don't kill me!
I'm no good at news posts, and understand that this is probably fiction, but was more looking for confirmation or a better source if someone knows of one.

THe link states
As it so turns out, Samsung i9000 Galaxy S smart phone owners need to only wait “shortly” until the Froyo update gets released for the handset.While a specific date has yet to be delivered, earliest estimates place the update for a launch due by next week –or hopefully, earlier.

So, we could have Froyo before the end of July?

While it would be nice to get it so early, I wouldn't hold me breath.

Yeah. I wouldn't count on it brah.
Unlocked users also
Hello Guys,
I just ordered this phone unlocked. Since this is my first Samsung phone (I had an iPhone 3G) I am wondering if AT&T will push the update to me and since my phone was shipped from Hong Kong I would also like to know whether there is a download link from Samsung's site for patches and firmwares (official).
Side question; For those using an unlocked Galaxy S in the US, is there any 3G (data) issue you are noticing? how is performance and availability of 3G with 1900Mhz spectrum?
If your carrier doesnt push the update to you, you should be able to get it through Samsung Kies once its been released.
Well we can only hope for this to be real. Sure would be nice

If Froyo for the SGS will pop up during the next 10 days as this article says it might, i'll eat my pants and post pics.
It's pretty impossible, considering samsung past with updates.
That's there flagship handset, nothing stop them to change the history.
Ummm.... Yes there is something that will stop them... It's called "Paperwork".
We'll see, would be nice tho, especially when it comes with some new drivers/updates to iron out the little bugs
Im thinking in this, we shouldn't forget about Samsungs tablet device, which seems like a big Samsung Galaxy S. The rumour there is that is going to come with FroYo 2.2 right from the off.
Makes sense to converge the software, so there is a very real possibility Samsung have been working on a FroYo release for a while.

As well as the hoofing great big ones
While they are at it, why not
While I doubt we will see Froyo in the next week or two it looks like they may have had some models at the Samsung launch even running Froyo. I noticed in Phonearena's preview of the Samsung Vibrant they tilted the phone to the right and it went into landscape. Unless something has changed I thought this was only possible with Froyo so maybe they are closer to releasing it then we think. I can't post a link to the video because I am new here but you can catch the rotation to the right at the 19 second mark.

I didn't realize this was possible on Android 2.1 or is it just something Samsung added to the Galaxy S? If so I have to agree thats a pretty cool addon!
As much as I really wish it was true, looking at the track records, it is not very promising.

Phone's great... But Froyo would be greater!

You people are wanting Froyo before most of us in the US can even buy the phone. I'm envious.
There was a demo video where the reporter was told that the demo he was holding was 2.2 but that it was not going to ship with it. This was the ATT Captivate version and I saw the article on one of the big tech blogs, but I can't remember which one. Anyone??? I remember reading the info and thinking why on earth do they have 2.2 on a demo device only.
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 ?

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...

Good evening guys and girls,
Had a surprise visit from a Samsung UK field rep today, who when asked about 2.3.4, he said his Galaxy S2 already running a build and had been for 3 weeks, he said it was nice and stable, didn't get chance to nab a photo but he said it was supposed to start rolling out from around the 10th of June to XEU handsets in the UK.
His handset was KE6 and KE9
Crossing my fingers big time.
Hope it will fix battery drain.
That would be nice.
This is exciting to hear. Thanks for sharing. Always look forward to a new firmware as it can sometimes fix little issues here and there
This actually confirms what I got told my a SammySon engineer and also what balenax has posted on here.
this is great news, will developers of the popular roms need to start from scratch?
What are the news/addition of android 2.3.4?
Just my luck as I'll be out of town till the 13th so no pc access to update :|
Sounds good, coming from an iPhone I still don't know what the OS updates for androids look like yet

His was a development build so anything can change.
Also I don't suffer from the yellow tinge that was mentioned above so didn't ask. Sorry.
really hope we get 2.3.4 soon, this battery life sucks.
if we are using a UK version in the U.S do you think we will get the ota update or will we have to wait until someone posts it on the forum?
I hope it will stop the battery drain and the smartphone heat (sometimes)!
Do you think we will have to reset the phone or are we able to flashing over existing KE7(currently installed)?
Finally samsung reveled
"We know you have been waiting and we're thrilled today to announce that we'll start serving Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich to GALAXY Note and GALAXY S II in the first quarter of 2012.
In addition, other ICS-upgradable GALAXY devices include GALAXY S II LTE, GALAXY R, GALAXY Tab 10.1, GALAXY Tab 8.9, GALAXY Tab 7.7 and GALAXY Tab 7.0 Plus.
Separate announcements on details of the OS update will be made soon, so stay with us on our Facebook & Twitter communities for more updates!"

Great work by sammy actually!! its just a matter of time before we get the leaks....
I am looking forward to this like the rest of us. However we need to take into account that delays (ATT i897 Gingerbread) aren't necessarily Samsungs fault. Quite often it is the carrier that causes the delays. So for those that are on ATT for example may have to wait longer then the rest of the world. Hopefully this is not the case.
Actual news came from. ...
http://global.samsungtomorrow.com/?p=8894
This could still be 3 months away though, that's ages!!
Yup, Q1 is January to March. Who knows we might get it on the 31st of March
At least samsung is quicker than lg, it took them a whole year to update the optimius 2x from froyo to gingerbread. Really looking forward to ICS, hopefully it will land late January early February. I'm sure we'll have CM9 sometime in January.

+1. I was shocked when I read about the Gingerbread update for the O2X being released recently. I assumed all along it had Gingerbread. Shame on you, LG!
Speaking as someone who had to wait well over a year before my last phone *finally* got freaking Froyo (and was told it was never getting Gingerbread) this is a welcome and ambitious announcement. Here's to hoping Docomo can get on the same page as quickly as Samsung.
Looking forward to this - but I am still a noob enjoying all the custom roms the devs have to offer.

Yeah, that's ages,but be honest... do you REALLY need this update? I bet your phone works perfectly and you still would be absolutely happy even if ICS didn't exist yet.
Seeing as we're already getting leaks, I would be surprised if the official ROM for international users would take that long to come out.

Why do you think that? The current status rather clearly points to a february/march release.
Current leaks are unstable, so probably a month more development for decent stability, then comes a period of wider testing (all different carriers and Samsung sales companies in different countries), probably some certifications made in parallell as well. Now we're in end of january or later...
Then some bug fixes once again after these tests. And some additional tests of course after these fixes.
I cannot see any possibility for an official release before mid-february, probably a bit later in March.
But of course, the leaks in january used for wider tests might be pretty good for all-day use, so if you don't require official releases you don't have to wait that long.
What a clever way of "stealing" us 3 months...

Because its not like the devs on here that do these things on their free time - the developers at Samsung working on the port are paid to do so, its their job, and they have to work on it several hours a day, every day.
But I might be an optimist. In any case, I'm sure a good enough leak will come along sooner than expected that is beneficial to the devs.

They say Q1 now, but if we look back at the updates they have done before they relese a update, that breaks something, then pull it again work on it for a month or 3 before releasing it again...
But that have ofc more been a kies problem then a update problem. Can remember when i had the Galaxy S and that got the GB update, that left the users in download mode, when updating over kies...

Does this mean that the leaks are non-indicative of the actual update, and we will indeed get ICS launcher/TW5?
See at source:
http://www.theverge.com/2012/3/12/2...-4-0-update-korea-today-sweden-poland-hungary
"As promised, Samsung is finally rolling out Android 4.0 to Galaxy S II users in South Korea today, and has also announced the first details of European availablity. Poland, Sweden, and Hungary will also be getting the update today, with more countries on the way — and the UK could be one of the next up. A tweet from Brendan Arndt of UK carrier Three has revealed that their final build of Ice Cream Sandwich is currently undergoing internal testing."
I'm sure all of you know what this means for us Note users. Can't be much longer now before we see ICS. Looks like Samsung might make good on its estimate for ICS delivery.
Taken from Twitter
Well March 10 came and went without the Ice Cream Sandwich update for the Galaxy S II, but hey what’s a few extra days? If you remember, we posted that earlier today a tweet was pulled by SK Telecom announcing that ICS would arrive on March 13. It was pulled because Samsung wanted to make the official announcement, which they just did via Twitter and Facebook. Here’s what they said on Facebook:
We’re thrilled to announce that Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich will be served to GALAXY S II users in the European countries including Poland, Hungary and Sweden, as well as Korea today, and gradually roll out to other markets.
ICS for GALAXY Note, GALAXY S II LTE, GALAXY Tab 8.9 and 10.1 will follow soon.
In addition, we’ll also offer Android 2.3 Gingerbread firmware upgrades for GALAXY S, GALAXY Tab 7″, GALAXY S Plus, GALAXY S SCL (Super Clear LCD) and GALAXY W from end March. The firmware upgrades for GALAXY S, for example, include Face Unlock, Snapshot, Photo Editor, and others.
The availability and scheduling of the software update and specific models upgradeable to Android 4.0 will vary by market and wireless carriers’ requirements.
I would expect to see the Galaxy Note and others to get ICS by May. If you’re in the U.S., you’re probably wondering when ICS will make its way stateside. Unfortunately I don’t have any confidence that we will get a taste until at least the Summer.
Also the Gingerbread firmware update for the Galaxy S, Galaxy Tab, etc. is quite interesting in that Face Unlock and Photo Editor will make it’s way to these devices. It’s unlikely these devices will ever see ICS, but at least Samsung is trying to bring some its features to these devices.

ICS in the USA is at the hands of the CARRIERS. I wouldn't count on Verizon or AT&T releasing it unless it snows in July LOL.
Another reason to buy full price, international versions. Most will get any updates way before (if ever) a carrier branded version.
Heck, I got my note in late December and have had 3 updates (GB). The carrier notes have had how many updates? Not sure, but are they even on 2.3.6?

Cosmetically different.

Imilka's asop is something worth trying out. It has somebugs but not a big issue. However still find GB roms to be better and faster.

New browser and hardware acceleration alone makes me want ics, not to mention the other features.

I really dont understand what makes Samsung take so long for Note, if they have already done with SII. My opinion: except the S Pen app remaining things on Note are similar to SII. Porting S Pen should not take much time.
