Looks like Gingerbread is confirmed (update: Just a Samsung copy-paste error) - Epic 4G General

As per Samsung Galaxy S Support on Twitter:
twitter .com/GalaxySsupport/status/15064053055492096
Sorry for the link

I wonder when this will be released then, if it's confirmed. Considering an official 2.2 build isn't even out yet

They are shipping 2.2 and going straight to gingerbread. Too many issues with froyo

I think you are mis reading the tweet.
"@tsytsma US Galaxy S line to 2.3 has been made & we aren't prepared to discuss this at this time. ^Sabrina"
I read this as they have made their statement on US GS 2.3 prior and they are not prepared to discuss it further. IMHO but would be sweet if it is the other way around.

Actually, I think this "Sabrina" bot at the Samsung Twitter is making a huge typo by pasting in a fragment of the boilerplate comment they have been tweeting all week. Here is an example of that boilerplate from yesterday:
@OrangeRafi No official statement about updating US Galaxy S line to 2.3 has been made & we aren't prepared to discuss this at this time.

I think "Sabrina" failed to select the beginning of that -- "No official statement about updating ..."

Do not give a ****. Don't even have official Froyo yet.

Yup. The Samsung Twitter site now confirms that the comment was truncated:
@Formula84 That was a 2 part response, the first was, As for Gingerbread, no official statement about updating ^Sab

So in other words, Samsung is just repeating its denial that any announcement about Gingerbread has been made.

Awesome

Dear Javid Beykzadeh,
Thank you for contacting HTC Technical Support. I’m excited about the release of Gingerbread, myself. So far, we don’t have any information about when our phones are getting the update to 2.3.
I don’t have any information about when the Evo is getting updates to HTC Sense that’ll let it access HTCSense.com. Right now, the website is still in beta and only the European Desire HD and Desire Z can take advantage of it.
To send a reply to this message or let me know I have successfully answered your question log in to our ContactUs site using your email address and your ticket number ##############.
Sincerely,
Hubert

OP: just a friendly FYI - customer service emails of this particular type are not trusted sources of information. They typically start receiving training only shortly before any releases. Remember all the new iPhone hype earlier this year? Customer service didn't know anything, or were at the very least prohibited from admitting to anything before the 'official' announcement.
Sorry man, that email isn't useful to us at all.

I9020A got OTA! (and how to got it now)

I have a i9020A of Canada Fido and I got the 4.0.4 OTA just now! From my 2.3.6 all stock, no root no unlock nexus s.
the package is 128.6M and I am still downloading it. Here is the method to help you to get it NOW!
Manage APPs -> ALL->Google services Framwork: clear data ->dial *#*#2432546#*#* (*#*#checkin#*#*)->GOT IT!

PS: It has been one day and many people posted that they received the OTA. It's NOT a April joke.... However, I know many people's nexus s don't work. As the OTA file is availiable already, you can easily manual flash it using stock recovery. I did the method above for half a day and finally got it (The method was originally from a Chinese forum http://bbs.gfan.com/viewthread.php?tid=3941961&extra=page%3D1%26amp%3B%20sortid%3D and http://bbs.gfan.com/android-3941883-1-1.html They got the OTA at 12:05pm, 31/3, Canada Eastern Time )
Did you get the url?

maybe but that jives with a few other reports from yesterday, which would be a bit early for that. Now if one of the i9020A users from the great white north can capture the URL, the AT&T crowd can get there factory update on.
A url will be much appreciated.

Im not being ridiculous. I was commenting about your post saying that you dont care about US carriers. If a carrier releases a rom first we can more than likely find whats new and whether we need to bother waiting for the official update or whether we can call the latest leak MJ5 official.
And he didnt take a photo of his screen. He took the image from the site I posted a link to or similar.
Im not saying it was worth a thread being created, 1 is too many "cant wait for or 4.3 is coming soon" threads.

In the last week there have been A LOT of these threads being created. From "Someone tell me what to buy??!!!//..." to the crop of 4.3/4.4 threads that say absolutely nothing new, to the people creating Q and A threads in the General section or Rom comparison threads just for no reason.
I tried the new 4.3 Touchwiz ROM but I still think it's too bloated and it it became slow and unstable on my device.
I am now using Omni and that's really stable, fast and smooth

There will always be someone online to be a jackass to you. If you don't want that to happen, try posting your info to one of the dozens of already existing 4.3 threads instead of making yet another one.

Great news guys you're gonna swallow your words about lollipop and you are gonna love it
By all means, please keep sharing who gets invites. Even better if you use the same handle on the Motorola forums!
Everyone in this thread should be ashamed. You are breaking NDA with Moto by talking about this in public. I do hope that you are removed from the soak and kicked out of the MFN.
It says we aren't allowed to discuss what is actually in the soak test, not that we can't mention it exists.

You are wrong. If you join the soak, you are saying you will not talk about it in public, period. You also electronically sign an NDA stating the same thing when you originally sign up for the MFN.

I wouldn't though, if you want to keep root. Wait for a rooted image. If you don't you could lose root forever.
