Anybody heard anything about android 2.2 update being sent out by Verizon this week or next?

Not to knock on the Continuum, but I'd think that the update will come out after the Fascinate update, or at least close to the Fascinate update. Given that no reliable source has given an update date or time frame, I'd say we're probably still 3-4 weeks away from an update at best.
Thanks...and you're right fascinate should get update first

I hope this is true. Very exciting, unless your manufacturer uses a custom skin on top of android.
At the rate samsung and VZW are going we should be getting gingerbread by christmas...next year.

SDK does not equal aosp source code.
Business as usual.
Yeah at this rate the next new os will be out by the time the fascinate gets froyo lol. Unless samsung is waiting and going to skip froyo and just go straight to gingerbread. Who knows. Anyway thats why i only got a 1 year contract so i can get the newest phone come july
Try again. I wouldn't expect Gingerbread before the beginning of next year.
SDK being released means only the under hood changes are done. Doesn't mean anything past that.
Having moved from a nexus to get off t-mo, I would be so frigging happy to just have froyo back, they could release Vagina next month and I wouldn't care.
Vagina is a dessert, right?

Just wanted to say that I'm sick and tired of waiting on froyo, everyone has already gotten it or is in the process of getting it. Even the mytouch3g. Anyone who knows any valuable information on this please post and let us know. And by valuable info I mean when we will be getting it

Says who? The Europe upgrades are getting pushed back till next month, and our will come well after that.
Samsung tweeted that froyo updates will roll out in November and all phones should have it by end of November.

This is true. Its reported on engadget today that the initial froyo updates where pulled due to "not awesomeness" but that Samsung promised increased performance along with all the other good **** that is froyo

Nevermind, read the new post
Well then, a new post is up from Engadget. This one does sound good
Our update will come from Verizon, not Samsung, so ignore any and all release dates in press releases from Samsung that do not mention Verizon or the Fascinate by name.

The update may come from Verizon, but I'm guessing that they give Samsung a list of what they want the update to include (bloatware, settings, etc.) and Samsung is the one responsible for getting the update out with Verizon's specs. While I'd agree that you can't believe it until it's mentioned specifically, if they say all carriers and actually mean it, then it's better than nothing.
So after much thought I have decided to at least keep this phone until LTE. It has probably the most truly capable hardware ever put n a phone. The CPU/ Gpu is great. The camera/ camcorder is second only to iPhone. Screen is great. But Samsung lack of support for their products is discouraging at the least. The phone came out after phones with froyo(D2 ) had already launched. I love this phone. See why people hate Samsung

If we are rooted, will the update take without doing something special?
Sent from my Fascinate
more than likely not. As I am sure you have removed the bloatware. In all I would say the easiest thing would be to Odin back to stock with Odin(when the update comes). That would ne the easiest.

Anyone received this update in US tmobile vibrant?
http://androinica.com/2011/01/18/an...-galaxy-s-now-rolling-out-via-kies/#idc-cover
Does this update wipe phone data and do we have to re-root?
Thanks.
That is for the i9000.

That article is from Jan 18, 2011 and I don't think its for the US vibrant the US galaxy s owners really get the $hit end of the stick when it comes to anything its like they forgot all about us But check the Dev forum theres some good 2.2 roms out.
I just received the option to update today. I live in California.
Im rooted, running bionix, overclocked..etc..etc..
The update is over kies mini only for tmobile for 2.2. I been getting dm disconnect and dunno what that's all about but update isn't OTA so doubt it has to do with that tho.
Sent from my Samsung Vibrant using XDA App
There is definitely some kind of update being pushed out OTA. My phone is updating now.
The KA6 they sent us is most likely a Beta Update (Performance regressed compared to JI6), so I wouldn't be surprised if they were working on another (really official OTA) update.
I don't even think all the US Galaxy S variants have FroYo yet... Aren't T-Mobile still the only ones? I think it was because the #NeverAgain campaign was composed primarily of Vibrant users (following the Vibrant 4G announcement).
They threw us a bone.
There is a new 2.1 OTA also! Not sure if this is what you got!
Rockin that Bionix V 1.2.1 w/ Androdena V5.1
Spoke to Samsung last night, they said the touchwiz update was pulled due to software issue. The update will be rolling back out in the next 2 weeks.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Now what does that mean, exactly?
Are they gonna send out another update with touchwiz removed or are they going to release a rom with touchwiz fixed? - Since they cannot de-install the updated rom on our devices(...LOL) ?
Sorry, I am affraid I do not understand '...the update will be rolling back out'
They should be (I don't know for sure) sending out an update to the users who already have the touchwiz update... the 4G lte people will finally receive the update with the fixes...

Dumped htc for saying an update would be released by certain time then waiting months...now with samsung they release an update in a couple of countries yet us in the UK still waiting a month later...? Why.??? Even my unlocked, unbranded note 2...!!!?????
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
I'm on the same bandwagon. Don't worry. Samsung is a lot faster with updates than HTC. So I think you've picked the right company, but the GENERAL rule of thumb is that you should buy a phone and be happy with the software it comes with, and don't expect it to be updated. Regardless, Unlocked N7100 from Germany DBT and still nothing. I bought it based on the Note 1 which ALWAYS got the updates FIRST from DBT. Now other countries have received their update and I haven't yet. Oh well. I'm still terribly happy with this phone and software! I can't say that the update will make it much better xD It's fantastic just the way it is, but I'm an update junky! haha. So just sit back and relax It'll come.

i love my GN2 but Samsung is a S**t company when it comes for updates,they never say anything what changes are made on Updates and they only do updates only in few countries which it barely sales the phone and not to the countries which they sold most
Tell me which phone manufacturer announce exactly when updates come? Moto is even worse based on ics update. When I got the phone it was mentioned all over the website promised ics update.
Then after almost a year they release a schedule for update which promises q1 2012.. End of q1 2012 came and all no update. A month later announced q2 2012. End of q2 came and gone. A month later the update finally came for me. At that time the is still many users without ics. Even today not all received their ics.
Btw the ics update made the phone laggy. Full reset removed the Laginess for a week or so before it came back. Don't tell me it's an app I instants because the only app installed then was line, whatsapp and tango. And mx player.
And this is supposed to be a ics phone. But quirks much better in gb.

In general, updates are delayed by carrier testing, so they can make sure it causes no issues on their network, but it takes even longer for unlocked/sim-free phones as they're tested on many more networks.
However I will say that if you're so adamant on getting updates ASAP you bought the wrong phone, the only phones you should look at for that are Nexus phones. Even those can have their updates significantly delayed by carrier testing though.

Root ur phone. Get official updated firmware. Flash with odin. Done. Whats so hard.

My point was the fact that the official update was released in a few countries about a month ago and yet nothing in the UK..? And yet Samsung has already started going on about the next update to be released in jan/feb !! We need this one first please..!!!

I don't really buy that story. For carrier phones yes but what about international nonbranded phones?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
I'd imagine that Samsung are doing a pilot release to a few countries first. If no major issues are reported then they release it to everyone else a short time later (like a month or so).
Makes sense really when you think about it, IMHO anyhow.
Btw waiting for the update here in Ireland too if it makes you feel any better
