I just talked to a tmobile guy and he said that they are pushing the update out to 20,000 phones at a time and its taking awhile because they sold millions of vibrants.
Also he said that a samsung rep came in to their store today and told them that froyo is expected at the middle of next month.
Finally!!!!!! Actual hard facts. Thank you sooo much for the informat..... you know what? Prepare to get flamed son.

I think the date for froyo is about right because the JI6 update is going to till the end of the month.

Thanks for the welcome but im just posting exactly what the tmobile guy told me

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 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.

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 love how people make posts about "hey man, i read this somewhere", and somehow REFUSE to post a link.

Post a link or it's BS.
Here is the link the OP is referring to:
http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Samsung-Galaxy-S-Vibrant/129061660469467?ref=ts
Take note from my post above that there is no way in hell this is official Samsung news.
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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Thats because its on a Evo lol
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.
I just got off the phone with Verizon Wireless Customer Service. I was questioning about setting changes to improve my signal strength. She said there was nothing she knew of. I then asked if she knew if the 2.2 update would bring with it a new baseband to improve the signal strength. She then said, well it is available for download, go ahead and download it and see. However, I am not in an area to do that. I am in Central Ohio, so I really have no idea if it is truely out or not!

I was just hoping for better service area. I live in a fringe area, my wife's D1 has service here, but my Fascinate has nothing. They did offer to knock 50 bucks off the new 3g network extender for my trouble.

Unless they have a new network extender that i'm not aware of, the one they were selling only extends voice and not data.
What one were you talking about??

There is a new network extender. It was announced last Thursday and does both 1X and EV
Verizon just released a new version of their network extender that supports 3g data last week. Retail cost of 250 though.
They told me that at the end of September. Do I have froyo? **** NO! will I ever see froyo.? Likely, but only from our developers and not samsung

It's been said multiple times in the past month that they will be coming out in November.
This from Samsung USA's twitter as well - "yes. all current Galaxy S phones in the USA will be upgraded to Android 2.2 this year."
Actually I'm pretty sure that it W's confirmed that the particular comment you are talking about DID NOT apply to the variants in the states. However I was just being sarcastic anyway. It doesn't really matter to me at this point as froyo from Samsung is literally going to suck ass because the one thing that kills these phones is the one thing a firmware update wont fix, and that's RFS. Anyway, good day sir. Hope you are correct, that way we can get some good froyo ROMS rollin
Edit: actually, I don't recall that anyone anywhere has stated specifically that our phones will get it in November. And I am positive that u will find nothing specific to the fascinate. Anyway. Not flaming, just stating the facts.

"The Galaxy S series will be getting 2.2 Froyo in November, starting in Europe and over time pushing west." - Not sure if this includes the US, but I assume it does. Paraphrased.
edit: Unfortunately I can't read. Your post said this already, so I guess I'm part of the redundant department of redundancy.

It was a direct quote from Samsung's Twitter. What else could "yes. all current Galaxy S phones in the USA will be upgraded to Android 2.2 this year." mean?
It can't mean ANYTHING else other than the Samsung Galaxy S phones released in the USA with all the popular carriers.

True. And this is all moot speculation anyway. When Froyo was debuted at I/O, afterwards Google tweeted about the rollout occurring over the next few months. less than 15 hours later I pulled down a rooted OTA courtesy of Cyanogen. lol.
It should be sometime between now and Christmas.

It never actually said US. that is the point I'm trying to make, it only said UK. I'm not at all trying to start a flame war just trying to keep you from getting high hopes only to be let down. I hope that u r right. Man do I ever hope that u r right.

How is this only the UK? They may not have said November, but by the end of the year is fine by me.

Gosh man. I'm not trying to start a fight nor am I saying u r wrong. However as I have stated multiple times. NO WHERE does it say "Verizon Wireless is pleased to announce that the android 2.2 froyo update is available for ur fascinate" nor have any of their tweets mentioned it.
Edit: all galaxy s variants doesn't mean fascinate. Call Samsung itself and ask they will tell u they know nothing.
Edit: sorry just saw where u said end of year. Not November. All good. Last Samsung phone ill ever buy.

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
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
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.
