Samsung promised that today should upgrade SGS to Froyo, but nothing??
ROFLMAO!!
Nobody promised anything
No. Not today.
It's better that way instead of another crappy firmware and this time official. They will go to hell if they do that
Samsung just announced that there will be no froyo for galaxy s. Are you happy now
Hi vlad,
As reported in several other topics, September 23 was less than a rumour, Samsung never said officially that this was "Froyo day".
AFAIK what we know by now is that T-Mobile branded SGS should be upgrade before the end of the month (which could mean even on 09/30), and it looks like that no brand SGS won't be upgraded before mid october.
Again, what we are talking about are just rumours, there's no official date from sammy.
Still I'd rather wait few days more and get a decent firmware.
edit: please try to make a search next time, before posting.
totally useless to open a topic about something that not happened,

So when will update? later this month? or end of October as Samsung Spain said ?

I do not know. No. Yes.
Lets just wait for it when it comes. Lets not speculate. Let Samsung build a decent firmware with all the important fix especially to enable JIT. I am happy with JPH for now.
not in the development child forum! dewdoodude.
The only official statements from Samsung (in facebook) is End of September for UK, End of October for Spain, India,... T-Mobile also stated End of September for their clients...
Saw some statements from users that contacted their operator and in some cases it will be available this week....
Definitelly it will not be released Worldwide at the same time. Patience.

+1 Agree. I'm Still with the official JM2 and I'm not in a hurry to get Froyo unless it fixes the pending issues.
(I hope this is not the same as Micro$oft and it's Windows Vista. )
The morale of the story is to be happy with what you have (eclair) and don't wait for froyo.
Otherwise buy some other phone which already has froyo.
Keep waiting... Maybe we will get froyo during christmas. Presents from Samsung.

Haha Verry funny, maybe 2012 when at the end of the world
Quoted from Samsung Mobile Singapore Facebook:
Hi Muhd, our local R&D team have not passed the Froyo software as yet. We are trying to rush HQ to send us the new software for testing. Realistically, we would expect some delay with this week being the Korean Thanksgiving holiday week. We will keep everyone posted on the timeline as soon as we get confirmation.
Hi Weijian, we would love to but these are all controlled by our HQ in Korea. This week being Korean Thanksgiving holiday week does not help. The current Froyo software being tested locally is not satisfactory so there is a good chance the official release to end consumer will be in Oct.
The Koreans are in holiday. Not froyo day apparently.

Hi All,
Seem HTC has come out and annouced that the Legend will be getting an update in Q3.
pocket-lint.com/news/33997/htc-handsets-froyo-q3-update
looking forward!!!
finally! tks 4 the info
Wicked! Looking forward to an official release and to when it gets rooted.
This has just made my day,fantastic news!
wooooo!!, suppose it will take a bit longer for vodafone to release it though?
I'll be able to renew my contract by November so October is too late for me to enjoy Froyo.
the best part is Q3 technically starts tomorrow.. sooo the update could actually come anytime after tomorrow
looks like the 2 weeks thing is actually starting to pan out
what is Q3 ?
posted again here too:

well conventionally this would around July so , lets say it should be available by end of July, but I guess its up to them.
Still, it's great to have it officially confirmed - finally! The sexiest phone on the market will get even better. Can't wait for app2sd. Yahoo!
3rd quarter of the year, you do the math
Sent from my HTC Legend
Well...if according to the earlier news item when HTC announced that "the Desire will have the update in 2 weeks", then technically the Froyo update will be available this Sunday ... here's me hoping for a nice surprise this weekend!! *fingers crossed*
Also for the person who asked above Q3 means the third quarter of the year, which is the months of July, August and September. So its very possible that we may well see an update for our legend this weekend or early next week.
Can't wait! but does anyone know how to make flash 10.1 work on it when we get froyo?
Wooooot!
This is such good news!! Can't WAIT for Froyo!!!!!
i do hope it is really true, but i would not hold my breath waiting for the update in the next 2 weeks, one quarter is 3 months and it might be available by the end of August. im really looking forward for the update but i wont get my hopes up. hopefully we get it asap though.

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 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...

Samsung_mobiles twittered some News to the relasedate of froyo for the sgs. If this i posteted elsewhre please delete.
"Samsung_Mobiles
All our users who are waiting for froyo , please note that froyo is expected to launch by end of this month. No exact dates are confirmed."
http://twitter.com/Samsung_Mobiles/status/26579290440
The tweet is quite clear yes. However Samsung_Mobiles is not a verified twitter account so there's no telling if they are indeed Samsung India or just some random account so be careful with accepting those claims as absolute truth.

Sorry didnt know and havent looked that Samsung_mobiles is not verified. But youre right, and before there will be great discussions.. Please close this thread, dear mods.
well i do not believe on any news now..samsung has been known for its customer annoyance syndrome regarding updates for long. better try cutom roms.. coz they r big time liars.. dt b surprised if they say "end of november" at end of october...like before
Oh stop whining, it took HTC 9 (!) months to give their early Hero customers an upgrade from 1.5 to 2.1. The Galaxy S got released with 2.1 and it's not even been on the market for half a year and they're obviously very busy working on an update.

Ah, because HTC was slow to update Hero we must shut up our mouths?
Samsung's promise is worth nothing. Froyo is when we see it.
I would like to nag but why should I? Rather let them take some time to polish it up a bit since this will be the last official update available for our phone (damn)
So please just take it as a man, say; "oh i can wait a couple of weeks more" cos by the end of October you'll receive a new phone, eventhough we're tricked with merely new software
meanwhile, kinda happy with the unofficial froyo =/
No companies promises are worth anything generally..
Originally Samsung said that Froyo update will be available THIS YEAR.
Not end of september/october/november.
I do have official Froyo update (it's a jp3 version but I still got it at the official service) and still waiting for the final release via Kies.
So as far as I'm concerned, Samsung kept their promise. No complaints from me.

And in Smsung Spain Facebook page they promised an update for September.
There's nothing official about statements on Twitter or Facebook as long as there's no press release to accompany them.
There's a crapload of work that goes into managing a ROM release cycle and decently testing every update, something they might be inclined to do better this time after all the trouble they got from the original release.
Besides, it says 'Expected', not "Will be released on $date and you can quote us on it".

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.
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!".

Why would you think that? There is no news of the USA versions getting the update anytime soon and I bet the international version will be one of the first ones to get it. Just follow Samsung Mobile's official twitter accounts. Those are the only places I can trust with so many sites reporting this or that with no evidence.

An apology for what - all news we were receiving the past months were "unofficial sources" or rumours or "i know i guy who knows a guy who works at S", I never actually read anything official, e.g. on a samsung website.
Even though the news, which was "almost" official (samsung romania facebook), rejected an actual release date at the end of march.
Just stay relaxed, an update will come in a few hours / days / weeks / years
Kind regards,
ww
I don't know why people always think that they deserve an apology from Samsung or that they get bad software support. Does anybody here have a written (or otherwise) guarantee that Sammy is giving us GB at a specific time? I guess not...
I admit that the first Eclair ROMs were crap and the GPS could be better, but seriously stop the whining, it's like talking with little kids that want their candy! Just wait until it's done and if it takes two weeks longer to sort out some bugs, then so be it...
I agree....they should apologize for possibly not living up to "a friend of a friend said" rumors, or for changing their roadmap to suit the pronouncements off the cuff on the facebook page of a regional Samsung distributer in a small market?
Really?
Or because Tricky used what he felt could possibly be the final 2.3.3 (though from user reports if it IS final, to quote Ricky Ricardo, Samsung's got some 'splainin to do) to make a big entry into the ROM Kitchen team?
Somehow I don't think so. No apologies required, from anyone. Just patience.
To be honest, considering no source is released and there seem to be various problems/quirks with JVK, I would prefer they take a couple weeks and give us a much more ready for prime time version.
Relax, Gingerbread is coming...just be patient and enjoy your 2.2.1 Custom ROMs and be grateful again you aren't stuck with just a single flavor of iOS.
Since I'm a new user and I cant post links, I'm just going to quote. Finnish branch of Samsung has announced a press release a few hours ago through a publishing company:
Translated in Google Translate said:
Samsung Android-range success of the phone Galaxy S is updated Android 2.3. Update arrives in mid-April.
Soon Android successful Android phone is updated Android 2.3 (Gingerbread)-version of the software. The update is a welcome gift for the Galaxy S owners. Update the test phase is late stage, and the new OS version arrives users to download in mid-April.

Maybe because it looks like JVK is not the final release version and still has some bugs?.
The thing with these web blogs and tech news pages is they all tend to get their "exclusive" news from the same sources which 9 out of 10 times are wrong. Case in point recent news quoting Samsung Mobile Facebook page which wasn't as it was the SamsungGalaxyS Facebook page which looked remarkably similar until you read the owner info. Something you would think they would check first really. Egg face say no more.

I can't see why people can't use their time anticipating the new release. It's not your time, obviously. Some people want to flash their phone with a safe, official firmware and want to know some ETA when it's going to happen. It's not like people are F5'ing every Android news site. Of course, this can hold but can't there be any speculation? It's up to XDA's moderators to decide, is this topic worth of discussing.
What comes to the first post, this is good news (if true) and in my opinion most reliable newsbit so far about Gingerbread. You shouldn't take it for granted that Samsung is liable to update its firmwares and "breaks promises" if doesn't. Operating as a company, Samsung's every firmware update is giving something to us, the customers. When people buy their phones, Samsung's is not liable to update firmwares if there's nothing critically wrong with it. Froyo is good but now we are on the road towards something even better. And it's a win-win situation to us.

I think even mid April is a tad optimistic. That's like 2 weeks.. and there's quite a bit left to fix and add. Together with the speed of which samsung works, I'm guessing May at the earliest.
