Gingerbread - Galaxy 3 General

Hi,
just wanted to tell you that I got an e-mail from samsung customer service germany that says gingerbread (probably 2.3.3) will be released for galaxy 3 within the second quarter this year, which would mean that it should come this month.
Can anyone confirm this or did the service worker just mix this up with gingerbread for galaxy S?

Probably a mix up but lets wait and see.

maybe someone else writes another e-mail to confirm this.
I'd love to see gingerbread on my G3

This month they declared that samsung galaxy s and other few devices will be getting ginger bread 2.3.3 . Don't even expect gingerbread on our phone unless for custom phones. Samsung made us buy this phone with the promise to deliver froyo, now it has delivered , it will never look back for it . you can see spica for example ... Which has 800mhz processor still, they haven't given them froyo. Samsung are cunning bastards! They want you to nut new phones.

Can you pls post the email ..... would be really happy to see offi ginger on sg3

I'll post the e-mail when I'm back home as I saved it on my desktop computer.
I asked wether they plan to release gingerbread for galaxy 3.
basically the e-mail said that they don't know an exact date but they'll release it within the second quarter this year.
the e-mail is in german anyway ^^

I just sent a E-mail to Samsung. waiting for response.

This is the e-mail that I sent to samsung:
Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
ist ein update für das Samsung galaxy 3 auf die androidversion 2.3.4 (gingerbread) geplant und wenn ja, wann kann man mit dem update rechnen?

roughly in englisch I just asked if and when gingerbread comes to the G3
When sending a request you also have to choose to which mobile phone your request refers.
The answer:
Sehr geehrter Herr [...],
vielen Dank für Ihre Anfrage.
Ein genauer Erscheinungstermin zu dem Update auf Android 2.3 Gingerbread liegt uns derzeit noch nicht vor.
Vorraussichtlich wird das Update Ende des 2. Quartals über unsere Software "Kies" verfügbar sein. Daher
bitten wir um Ihr Verständnis und Ihre Geduld.
Bei weiteren Fragen können Sie uns gern kontaktieren.

which means in englisch that they plan to release the update within the second quarter of this year. (but she didn't explicit mention the G3 )

hi
guys sorry to break the bubble but in my country they have stopped this phone ie it is no move available for sale in india(as per samsung store info i got they have stopped production) as they have introduced a lot of new phones so i dont think we will get the 2.3.3 official update
but then their are some developers working on it and im sure we will get it from them soon

I wrote to Polish section of Samsung and they answered me that Gingerbread will be at the end of June.
It's in polish:
Szanowny Kliencie
W imieniu firmy Samsung, serdecznie dziękujemy za kontakt.
W odpowiedzi na zgłoszenie pragniemy poinformować:
iż data aktualizacji do nowego systemu operacyjnego przewidywana jest

only because it's no more on sale doesn't mean that there's no more support for it. samsung signed a contract in which they assure that they update their devices (as long as the hardware is capable of it) for 18 months, and it seems that this is not only for the new state of the art phones but as well as the galaxy 3. send an e-mail to samsung customer service in your country. then you get facts. only because everyone says that it's not likely G3 will get gingerbread because it's such a low-budget device doesn't mean samsung isn't working on it.

which is the same samsung germany told me. so for europe it's most likely we get an gingerbread update within the next two weeks
did anyone from the US or other parts of the world contact samsung customer service?

It's highly unlikely that the will release it at the end of june, if they realease it at all that is... It's probably a mixup with SGS. BTW guys if you did't notice, IT'S SAMSUNG for f**k sake! They dont care about low end phones like our G3 unfortunately

then why should they tell us that the update is coming this month?
we got independent statements from samsung germany and poland that they will release an update.
the update for SGS is already out (at least in germany, don't know if it was released everywhere). this makes makes a mixup quite unlikely.
sry, but I put more trust in what samsung customer service tells me than in speculations of users. I know that G3 is a low-end device. but if they say they release an update then why shouldn't they?
I mean they have no reason to lie, they could just say as the G3 is EOL they won't release any more updates and everyone would accept it.

htc confirmed update to froyo in the next 2 weeks

hi everybody
i just found something interesting on german zdnet
they say that htc confirmed to zdnet there will be an update to froyo in the next 2 weeks ..and the post is from today
sorry, new users are not allowed to post a link
mfg, ugrubni
i thought it was google saying that today and it was nexus one only?
:Edit: looked the article up looks promising but i will only believe it once i happens :
HTC has confirmed to ZDNet, that two smartphones Desire and a Legend Android OS update from version 2.1 to 2.2, code name Froyo to get the update to the devices via the radio interface, so by FOTA (Firmware Over-the-air) are provided. A precise time called the company did not: The roll-out will take place in the next two weeks.

German znet article translates in google translate:
http://bit.ly/9HdPte
That's great news I'll send HTC a mail asking if they can confirm this. I'll let you know. I'm really hoping its true. I was kinda mad to myself that I didn't buy the desire cause that would have the upgrade but if the Legend is getting it too, then its all good xD

I just read this myself, and I cannot wait!
I'll be picking up my legend very soon now that I know its getting a little taste of froyo
This seems to make a lot of sense. An article I read made the good point that the Legend and Desire getting it soon after or even at the same time as the N1 makes senders because they are more widely available.

Ok, but that's just the same source twice, I would love to hear it from HTC, but they haven't answered my mail yet.
Hey all...
I got my wife a Legend and am learning Android and then teaching her afterward.
How will this update appear on the phone? Meaning, will it be a notification at the top or is there somewhere in the settings that I will need to go to pull the update down?
Thanks in advance!
Jason.
this is good news
if its over the air, then youd get a notification, a pop up usually. I advice not to hold your breadth waiting for it though, as it took almost 6 months from promised time for HERO users to get 2.1, and not everyone has it yet. That, plus, this is not necessarily legit.
wow, this is quit good news ..!!
but will this be avable all over the world, or just some contries ?
I am living in Faroe Islands and i would like to know if it will be an update for me ..!
Thanks for this great news
i HOPE this is true.
I upgraded to a Legend and gave hero to girlfriend since I didn't have faith at the time that the Hero 2.1 update would come out before I went back home stateside.
All I'm thinking at this point is "hope for the best prepare for the worst"
just wondering why this hasn't been reporting on any other news site, or has it?
It's just a rumour..but i hope really hope that legend can get some froyo love

Well cause if i'm correct here,HTC self didn't make an official statement..or did they? hmm
there is so much confusion & speculation over this froyo update .
i thought a while back HTC STATED "that all Android mobiles released in 2010 would get froyo " its just a matter of when we, legend owners will get it .
froyo is coming ,im staying positive .

Thats not much, but im with u in holding out hope that we see it this month. These annoying little tweets they send really suck. I would rather hear nothing from them than to keep hearing "its getting closer". Thats telling us nothing except that time continues to move. Obviously its getting closer, even if its not coming til december, its getting closer. lol

I read something on the sprint forums from an employee that Sunday is normal, but Fri/Sat is not unheard of as a push back date if it is a major release.
Found the quote-
halcyoncmdr117
SprintEmployee
2,675 posts since
Dec 9, 2007
Sprint usually launches phones on Sunday, big name launches happen on Friday or Saturday occasionally. This is because the entire week leading up to the launch, the phones can be shipped to the store to ensure there is adequate supply (or as many as they can in some cases).

But, Sprint employees seem horribly confused about phone releases...

Samsung Sweden promises Android 2.3 update in mid-April for unlocked Galaxy S, mid-Ma

Samsung Sweden promises Android 2.3 update in mid-April for unlocked Galaxy S, mid-May for operator-specific Galaxy S
UPDATE: Samsung Finland will release the Android 2.3 update in mid-April.
Swedish Samsung subsidiary has confirmed that the much awaited Android 2.3 update for Galaxy S is expected soon. The Gingerbread firmware is in final stages of testing and unlocked Galaxy S users can expect the update sometime in mid-April.
For Galaxy S locked to operators, the update is expected in mid-May.
Samsung will release the update via Kies.

Same press release quoted earlier is now on Samsung's Nordic branches' sites. Here is a link for the Finnish site translated through Google Translate. (The translation is what it is. Makes the point, though.)
Official enough.
Just called Samsung Norway - found nothing on their website - and a helpful lady called Silje informed me that android 2.3 will be out for all Norwegian networks for the SGS at the end of April.

FYI, it's on Norway's site also. This implies that Nordic users will be first to get GB - like with JS8 - but we know that Samsung procrastinates with firmware releases. We just sit back and wait.
I just sent an email the german samsung support about 2.3 - let's see if I get an answer and if so, what they say about a release
I will keep you posted.
Kind regards,

Great so Bell should be coming out with their 2.3 in about July or August then. I wonder WTF they are doing with these things in there.
Okay, the german support just replied - no specific date given, quote: "Yet, we don't have any specific information about the release date of Android 2.3". Or in german: "Wir haben noch keine genaueren Informationen über den Erscheinungstermin von Android 2.3 (Gingerbread)."
Update from german o2 online forum:
the version, which was tested and approved by o2 (Germany ?), ist this one: I9000XWJV7_XXJVK_VIAJV1

yes i believe this is highly likely.
But why pull an update .
Normal practice would be to just replace with the latter one .

hopefully there will be some of the features, that the nexus s already owns like SIP, that is deactivated in SGS versions of GB :/ And of course the video call thing that would be pretty awesome
2 updates in short succession is a pain in the ass for most people. (not the average xda member)

This seems one of the probable reason google could ask samsung to hold on.. otherwise we don't find any major issue on the 2.3.3 Rom which needs an upgrade to be halted.
There are two ugly bugs I noticed in 2.3.3:
1. Alarm (the green button next to alarm in alarm list works weird, like you set alarm for tomorrow, it works, than tomorrow you just press green button to make alarm for next day, and it says the wrong number of hours befor alarm start. solution is to open the alarm and save it again)
2.In week view of calendar, each month starts from 2nd week and I can't find the 1st!!!!
So if they could fix that 2.3.3 would be fine for me...
Of course 2.3.4 is even better, but where did you see any announcement for 2.3.4??? When will it be available?
I hope they solve the 3 second call bug. I hope we get an update. I think it is the last for us, so we must be happy to 2.3.4.
The 2.3.4 update is officially been rolling out for the nexus s as we speak.

Is this just something that Samsung just made up to make Galaxy S2 sell more, since it got 2.3.3 Gingerbread?
Well I got 2.3.3 on my phone, and I've ordered the S2 anyway so I don't care.

I hope we get 2.3.4 as the last official update.

Samsung didn't even included SIP from Gingerbread in 2.3.3, and you want them to make a new firmware with video chat? That's highly doubtfull. I think that if we will get 2.3.4 somewhen, it will be without new features. However, most likely that with launch of SGS2 we won't get much of a new firmwares anyway.

The official flip cover for the Note is absolutely impractical & useless.

you want it for something it really isn't; it's a simple flip cover for the phone. nothing more.
Got a free one as well. It has been on my note since the first day. Makes it easier to throw in the bag or pocket without worrying about the screen. A friend that owns a GS2 loved the fit and function of it, and if Samsung was making one he would be getting it in a heartbeat.

You are wrong. I am using it and I see it quite useful.
Thanks, of course!

You're right. I'm using one too and I like it. Sure, it is not a real "protection" against throwing your note out of the fifth floor, but it's a nice addtion to protect your screen in your pocket.
In addition it also comes with a new back-cover with a much better protection for your camera!

you are wrong brother. ive a white note and a white flip case, i feel (& my friends feel)
1.it looks neat and good
2.it protects the screen.
3. MOST IMPORTANTLY, it has a slight bump on camera lens side and this protects your lens from scratches, mind you-this is not there for default back cover.!!!!
Has any one of you really received the free flip cover?
I asked for it more than one weak ago and I haven't got it yet. I am in Germany.
Same for me. Not in sight yet.

Unfortunately I live in Australia, so they wont ship to me... But if someone with a German address wants mine just let me know and I'll put your address in and you can have it

That would be great
and how much does the shipping cost ??
Lets Say to Saudi Arabia
In Turkey they give it when you buy. I used it but it is impractical. Let's say your phone rings. What will you do:
1. Grab with right hand and open the cover with other hand.
2. In order to fold cover on back, give phone to your other hand which opened the cover.
3. Touch screen to answer call.
4. If you are right handed like me, then put phone to your right hand again.
5. Bring your phone to your ear and talk.
Too long time to start talking.
