And which of the many Samsung Vibrant's on Facebook is the official one.
Its off the many samsung vibrant pages which I'm not so sure is the "official" page anymore. Probably a blonde moment. Uh I'm going to sign of now. Sorry for the false alarm peeps...

As early as this month doesn't sound too concrete or confirmed to me. They haven't even pushed the 2.1 update with gps fix. I hope I'm wrong though.
As far as I know, this is coming from a Samsung tech employee in Finland, and is only stated for the international Galaxy S. I wouldn't expect this by the end of the month for our US Vibrant.
T's Response
I called T today to find out about the GPS fix that was leaked to come out today. I was transferred to T's Android Rep who stated that the GPS Fix is to be included in 2.2 and that he did not have a time for the release. He could not even speculate on the time frame for a release but that it was in the works and coming soon. I would not expect the update till late November but before Christmas. It could be pushed back even farther if there is any chance of there being some issues with the update to 2.2 The last thing Sam and T want is bad PR it would be a loss of sales and loss of customers. I believe they are going to test the crap out of the 2.2 update which will be nice to have a great stock rom.

Stop with your speculation. If Samsung waited till November, no one in these forums would still have a Vibrant. Every other phone to come out in the last few months has been updated to froyo (Droid X will be out soon, but has seen many leaked versions). Waiting till November would be a deathwish for Samsung. By then, Gingerbread might be out then the whole process would start over again.

Froyo. I don't even know what it was (a yogurt desert) before buying an Android phone, now I see this word on a daily basis. God Bless Xda.
you know what. im kinda tired of seeing these threads. I think Sammy And Tmo are gonna take there sweet ass time with this. Seeing as they alreay have your money from when you bought the phone ($400 full price, $200 New 2 yrs contract, or a penny if you got on the amazon ****) they dont really have to care. They provided a phone that worked. that was that. they dont have to update it. if they wanted to they could be like yeaaaaa **** it. and there is nothing we could do but cry and build our own roms for it.
Tmo has us real good tho. they get you for the monthly and if you ditch them before 2 yrs is up hey guess what your shelling out another 200 bucks for nuking the contract LOL. its all about money. theres rumours left and right about when its gonna get 2.2 - if it does it does if it dont it dont. not much we can do

I went through all the Vibrant Facebook Pages and found the one mentioning Froyo and there is no way in hell that is a Samsung managed page.
a) They bag on the Captivate - Samsung wouldn't do that
b) July 14th - Said "I just played with one" - Why would Samsung say that?
c) "Their review" links to http://thetechninja.wordpress.com/ - Why would Samsung do a review of their own phone?
So, rumor squashed, there is absolutely no basis for believing anything posted to that page. The OP here should not have said its the official Vibrant page when it clearly isnt.

I was browsing Samsung's Official Twitter & They posted this link: http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-says-all-galaxy-s-phones-will-get-android-2-2/
Samsung has mercifully confirmed at an event in New York this evening that all Galaxy S versions -- including the Captivate, Epic 4G, Vibrant, and Fascinate -- will be receiving updates to Android 2.2 Froyo later this year and offer compatibility with Flash 10.1. All of the devices will be shipping with Android 2.1 out of the gate, so considering that Froyo's already launched, we're sure there'll be no shortage of pressure to get the updates fast-tracked. Sprint says it won't be a long wait on the Epic, but otherwise, we don't have any time frames at this point.
So for the people who said "My cousins, brothers, dog said we won't get Froyo.." Well just Read & Weep

Because my definition of soon is not 1/4 of a year.

And of course we're getting Froyo, a pre-release build (JP3) was leaked quite a while ago.

Umm, didn't they say the behold 2 was getting an upgrade and it never did?
So I don't think them saying prior to release the Galaxy S will get an upgrade is gospel in any way as you seem to be putting it.
Still, I don't think there's more than 1 or 2 people here or really don't think we'll ever get 2.2.
It's just how long they'll take and the longer they take, the more people's trust they'll lose.
According to some sources, we are getting it in mid october. For GSM galaxy x's only.

If I could sell this I would so get a g2. Unfortunantly with the 2 for 1 sale tmobile is having, theres like 50 brand new in box Vibrants going for 300 so no way I can sell this thing at the moment....
O well, stuck I guess, but I put money that 2.2 does not hit this month, or next, or ever.

after reading this post I will call it a stupid thread, and I hate to flame.
This is OLD info that doesnt really reflect any recent information. Since JUNE there have been alot of delays, and like I said in another thread, the galaxy s is still selling like crazy, so why would samsung put money into development when it doesnt have to? To please people who already gave them their money?
How about "to please their japanese customer base." Their Galaxy S phones just today hit the island of the rising sun today. They've sold 5 million of them thus far. They have no option but to upgrade us.
The froyo rom for the original Galaxy S is leaked alriady. Not to mention that Adobe has the captivate as one of the "coming soon supported devices" in their 10.1 supported mobile devices page.
ON the other hand, tmo might screw us over a little.

They don't have to give it to us. Its not gonna happen... Only way we get froyo is the devs here. I'm hoping eugene can make it happen. Screw samsung, tmobile and the cm team mainly WES...lol
Seriously as much as I'm pissed about not having froyo myself, it's not just us that got jerked around. If I remember HTC incredible users were being told froyo would be released for them in Julyish and they just received it in September. So if we were told September 23 which I believe wasn't specific to the vibrant then we should know it's not just us getting jerked around not just Samsung or t mobile.

What does at a time really mean? Per hour? Per day? At 20000 updates / day, it would take 50 days for the first million updates. My guess I'd that if your froyo date us right, they'd need to push out updates a lot faster. Otherwise people would be getting froyo before the incremental.

I think they push out 20,000 at a time but probably about 3-4 times a day or more. Also I think the update is regional

The point is not that anyone thinks you are "lying" about what you heard. The point is that there are countless posts across the Internet stating that Froyo is coming and when. And everyone has it on good authority from someone at Tmo or Samsung, etc. etc.
No one really cares about all the speculative estimates. It gets here when it gets here, period.
I can't tell you how many posts I've read where someone says, "My friend who works for Samsung says yada yada..." They have yet to be accurate. And even if they were based on fact the dates are subject to change. A good example is Samsung's estimate of a GPS fix coming in September for the Vibrant. They were 7 days late with that and Samsung posted that for the world to see!
The tmobile guy in my area said tmobile was getting the iphone this past june..... Another rep told me the hd2 was gonna be android... Dude, those reps dont know anything other than what u can read here. Trust me.

Why is Froyo in mid-November an unbelievable time frame? There's been numerous Froyo leaks for the generic Galaxy S, one for the Captivate, and a supposed e-mail between Samsung people that said Froyo was finishing testing. Mid-November makes sense. Do I expect it to be 100% in mid-November? No, but I woudn't be the least bit surprised if it was, it's not a crazy idea.

One of the reasons why is because samsung JUST released the JI6 update (which is still being distributed). If it were to be mid-november, they couldve just skipped the update (save the hassle & bandwidth cost) and went straight to froyo the next month. Don't get me wrong though, I would LOVE a mid-November (or sooner) release.

As ususal, Engadget gets it wrong. They can't even read a press release, and never bothered to pick up the phone and call Samsung. This announcement was datelined from London and about the UK, which is clear from its context.
See also this thread in Vibrant forum.
p.s. As recently as a few minutes ago, Samsung's Galaxy S support site for the U.S. on Twitter was saying there is not ETA for Froyo on this side of the pond at all.
Deployment for the Epic is even more complicated than the rollout for the GSM-based variants in the U.S. If the Epic gets Froyo in November, I will be most pleasantly surprised.
one way or another it seems like typical samsung taking forever to release an update
I just got word from my sprint connect to not expect froyo until mid-late december... he said it may be well into january before sprint pushes it out. let's hope he's wrong!

I'm inclined to believe this since Rogers in Canada is saying their version of the Captivate will get Froyo in 2011. If Froyo was ready in 2010, everywhere else in the world, why would Rogers tell their customers to expect it in 2011?

What? You want to wait until 2012 to get a new OS update?
What does 2.2 offer that you can't have on 2.1? I just don't see what the big deal is anyways. Is everyone that unsatisfied with their phone that they are getting bent out of shape about 2.2? This is Sprint and Samsung we are talking about right? I fully expect it to be here in January or February. In the mean time, I will enjoy my Epic with 2.1 Which is still better than the Evo on 2.2, imho.

I heard flash sucked with 2.2 but that's just me. Granted it's nice to have and it's something the I-suck doesn't have so that's always a plus.
Phone is plenty fast for me but I don't do anything extensive on it. Even when it drops I'll probably still wait a while to see if it's even worth it. Reading the Evo forums, it sounded like it was more trouble than it was worth and broke more things than fixed.

Yeah I went to the Sprint store when I went and bought my case for my Epic and messed around with an Evo..be it a display, and they had a screen protector on it, the screened looked REALLY grainy, and it was very very slow. I'm guessing it hadn't been restarted in awhile and had every app open on it running in the background. I checked it and sure enough it was running on 2.2.

Has there been any news on this? I mean its going to be February tomorrow, and I was just wondering where the hell all this furor over the delayed updates went. Sprint hasn't really said anything concrete, neither has Samsung so I'm honestly pretty pissed...
I sprint tech told me samsung still have the froyo and sprint haven't received it yet.. He states we was one of the testers and have no ideal of a release date cause sprint doesn't haven't anything to test yet ... This was a few days ago

Sprint has it and it works Great. They are just trying to figure out a way to charge ALL their customers and extra 10.00 per month to get it, even if you don't have an Android Phone.
They've already annoucned that they're going to begin doing that haha.
Seriously though, where did all teh furor over this go? I remember a few weeks ago people were going crazy over this, and I haven't heard a single mention of it as of yet...

I think everyone has given up on ranting.
Welcome to Rule #1 of Big Business.
"Ignore a problem long enough and it will go away."
That's how I got rid of my annoying ex-girlfriend too. It's foolproof.

Yes. Customer will go away and give money to someone else.
I used to work in collections. One often repeated mantra of collections was "If they're yelling, you're still on the right track to get paid." If they stopped yelling, they no longer cared. In business, it is a bad sign if complaints grind to a halt, as it likely indicates an upcoming exodus of customers.
I probably won't leave Sprint, but in spite of how much I enjoy the Epic as it is, the fact that it is taking so long to be able to enjoy the Epic as it could be will likely have me looking at LG and/or HTC phones next time around.
Same here, I like sprint but I'll no longer buy samsung phones anymore because this sucks big time. I no longer care for an update, it will come when it comes I'm just waiting 1 yr goes by to purchase another phone and more likely will be a HTC, I love their keyboards.

That's where I am.... mostly happy with DK28 and the custom roms. I'll be considering HTC next time... it's a shame the EVO was so damn slow compared to the SGS series because that would have been a decent competitor.

My last phone was a TP2. It shipped with WM 6.1 but 6.5 was released shortly after the phone was released. It took about 6 months for Sprint and HTC to release 6.5, and the whole time people were pissing and moaning about it on all the boards. Plus, many users (includinng me) had screens that failed in the first year. It aint any better in the HTC world.
Aperently samsung dose not want to update this phone anymore so what will happen to the vibrant
i believe our phones are in the hands of the developers to make roms like ics passon that will be the closest thing to the ics rom that we will get
Well considering my contract ends in october, im not worried about this phone anymore. Switching to verizon
my contract ended a long time ago we jest havent swiched providers

It's old yes, but it never really got any updates. It got 2.2 but I think it wasn't ever an OTA, it was a kies only update that bricked a lot of phones. Ive only used custom roms, but if I had kept this 500 dollar phone stock and never received any updates/fixes for it, I'd be pretty pissed. I don't know of any other phones that got the shaft THIS bad...I cannot believe samsung/tmo got away with this. It was a flagship phone, not some $199 retail phone they gave away........Hell all the other variants have OFFICIAL 2.3...nexus has the same specs and has official ICS....
Thank god for XDA

Actually I got my vibrants bogof from Tmobile so it was 2 for $149. For that price I'm pretty happy with what I got. I could understand somebody that got it full retail or at launch day at full price feeling like they were shafted though.

Overlooked the Captivate because I thought this phone would progress more development wise

I got my 2 phones during the valentines special for free. I love this phone thx to XDA, CM and now ICS Passion. Updates from TMO or Samsung? That ship has sailed... a long time ago.
I don't worry about that anymore, CM7 is running just fine, lets get some bugs out of Passion and we are good to go.
I agree, if it wasn't for team toxic I would have sold this phone a long time ago.

Since im on an old em+ plan that doesnt cover subsidized phones, i paid full price for my vibrant. Barely had that phone for a year and i fully blame tmobile for the piss poor support. Never again. Im much happier now with my galaxy nexus.

Hope you never have to call 911.
On a side note, why isn't there a way to unthank a post? Damned thanks button needs to be somewhere else, I'm used to the quote button being on the end.

I presume you mean "fine, except for the fact the GPS doesn't work, and you can't call 911?"

Not sure what your issues are, but my phone has pretty good GPS AND I can use 911 just fine, the 911 "issue" has been blown out of proportion
