There's no official recall yet. What the CPSC announced is that they're working toward an eventual official recall. Here's the actual announcement:

Might as well be.

Samsung just told me on the phone the fda just pit put a recall on them

we are screwed now!!
The CPSC's involvement may change the pace of Note 7 exchanges, though. Samsung now says new Note 7s will be issued to existing buyers "upon completion of the CPSC process," and neither Samsung nor the CPSC offered a specific timetable beyond "as soon as possible."

It's October and No "promised update"..and the next day is?

Well apparently the End of September has come and gone. So my questions is this, When will we get any update? I say end of October for the minor update and November for 2.2. Oh and guess what, T-Mobile UK missed their deadline for 2.2:
http://phandroid.com/2010/09/30/t-mobile-uk-misses-end-of-the-month-window-for-galaxy-s-froyo/
Amazing phone Samsung. ..yet this is just another thread of disappointment.
yep,
Either Samsung, Tmobile, or both really let us down
I say Samsung..since it's not their first time...but then again T-mobile don't have a good history either...looks like both.
Why blame everything on Samsung? Give me one good helluva reason. While they should probably deserve partial blame, T-Mobile makes the final call. If T-Mobile says no, then we don't get the update. Simple. Oh, one more thing, T-Mobile UK != T-Mobile USA.
I have no idea what the hell is going on with T-Mobile on releasing updates, but if it's quality over speed, then I will gladly wait unlike most people.
I'm angry at T-Mobile for not giving us any of the possible updates that Samsung made. It makes no since that the Vibrant has been out the longest in the states and hasn't had a single OTA.
I blame Samsung for lack of Froyo. If they can make it run on the tab, they can make it run on the phones. I can't be mad a T-Mobile for that considering no Galaxy S phone has an official Froyo update on it yet.
I wonder what's taking so long, the Tab is basically an 'oversized' Galaxy S (relatively speaking here). If it is working on the Tab it shouldn't take much to port it to the phones.
unless of course, it is held out on purpose so it would not cannibalize the sales of the Tab. Purely my guess.
Its not so bad that its late, its that T Mobile and Samsung haven't kept us updated. A small status or progress update would go a long way.

Second that
Do you not think them saying an OTA will be available soon, is keeping you posted? It was probably pushed back after that clusterfuck of an OTA for the Captivate.
I believe Samsung is full responsible of this situation.
Is not a secret that Samsung lacks on software support. Take the European Galaxy S the unlocked version. The devices came months before the Vibrant in the US and suffers the same stupid TouchWiz bugs and never got an update...
I believe we will be lucky if we see Froyo when Android 3.0 is available. (of course whoever still has a Vibrant by then).
For me that was my first and probably last Samsung device. Its a nice device but FULL of bugs with no a single sign of support... A complete let down for this high class hardware.
Imagine if we go.straight to 3.0?

Samsung has managed to bork every single update for every US Galaxy S device. Even when they hit the deadline with the Captivate, it didn't fix the issue everyone wanted it to fix. Then, they release the update on other networks, only to tell people "Whatever you do - DON'T download this!". It's a joke.
Guys, relax! Samsung has been telling us that the update is coming "soon" for the past two months, so it's coming "soon"! In other news, the unemployment rates will go down to their normal levels "soon" as well!
/sarcasm
Yeah, its disappointing that the update has taken so long, but nothing to cry over yet imo.

Honestly we should have all expected this after how they handled the behold 2. I felt that a phone that was on all the major carriers would get tons of support, but alas....
Phone didn't work right on launch so bottom line it's samsungs fault.
Agreed

Now I wait for 2.2 LOL
This is what EVERYONE who had bought a Beyond, or other Samsung phones kept saying...
Basically that Samsung either breaks their promises, or doesn't deliver on them until way late.
I am going to start looking for a new device. This 2.1 phone should hold me over until the 3.0/Gingerbread devices start coming out.
I am not upset enough to avoid Samsung in the future, but HTC and Motorola will be my first choices.

Froyo release date all but confirmed...

Froyo- November. http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/21/...carri/?utm_source=engadget&utm_medium=twitter
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
great find! I'm willing to wait as long as they make it better. I have to wait anyway since I'm rooted so "early November" may not hold true. Hopefully rooted roms won't be too far behind.
not sure why it is taking so long since Verizon will have the Samsung Continuum next week which is already running 2.2 stock. or, at least thats what has been leaked.
Continuum is running 2.1....
http://www.androidcentral.com/samsung-continuum-video-hands
I don't mean to be a killjoy, but I would like to point out that the way this press release is worded, I believe it ONLY applies to the I9000 model, which is the European Galaxy S. One reason I think that is because it states it will be available via Kies, which is not used for OTA distribution for the US versions. Also, every US version has unique features that have to be accounted for in developing the release.
Now, I'm not saying that we won't get Froyo in November, just that this press release from Samgung proves nothing in that regard. Due to carrier customizations, I'm waiting for a press release either directly from Verizon, or from Samsung that specifically mentions Verizon and/or the Fascinate by name.

spaces added to http and www due to account limits
Yeah no one can really come away from that with any facts. Just opinions. I mean they do state it will be Coming to all variants of the galaxy s. The problem is the use phrases like "we expect it to be to all carriers by the end of November" not "it will be to all carriers by........" so that's a little suspect. Like I said in my last thread ill ever write about froyo for this phone, its sad that they put some of the most potent hardware ever made with the ****tiest software ever and the normal lackluster Samsung amount of support. Due to the support I will not buy another Samsung phone. I can't remember exact dates I've had all of the last 5 major VZW phones they released on launch day.(D,DInc,DC, D2, and now fascinate) this phone came out almost a month after the D2 launched with froyo? If the Galaxy S is Samsung's flagship what were they doing with all this extra time they took to launch it after all of the other galaxy s phones. Again camera is great, camcorder is awesome screen is amazing, GPU is the absolutely best available in a mobile device, and the use RFS and this bull**** software and the topped it off with almost a year old software in eclair? Wtf. Ill be keeping this until LTE comes out. Praying that one of the first LTE phones that comes out isn't Samsung BC then ill be waiting long. Anyway. Rant off. Here's to hoping and praying we actually see froyo sometime, if anytime on our phones.

I can't believe anyone still believes this yarn today. The Engadget story was debunked all over the internet yesterday, for example in this thread on the XDA Vibrant forum.
Basically, Engadget was wrong. Again.
The press release they based that on clearly came from the Samsung subsidiary in the UK and Ireland. The announcement's scope was for "all operators" there. None of it applies to the U.S. carriers. The Twitter sites for Samsung USA confirmed later yesterday that the UK announcement did not apply here, and reiterated what Samsung USA has said all along: Froyo will be deployed in the U.S. sometime this year.
Engadget is irresponsible, a day an a half later, for not correcting the erroneous story.

From Samsung via e-mail Froyo 11/11 (No Ninja's involved)

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.
Froyo rolling out in UK Nov 4
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!".

Hmm. My read of the actual text that Samsung sent out is not actually any different than it was a week or so ago: the i9000 will probably have 2.2 sometime before the end of the month, along with the rest of the UK/Europe. I really don't see anything in the "official" Samsung notice that indicates Verizon, or any other US carrier.
However, since the blog posts cite "Some information" for "somewhere around 11th, November as a FINAL release date" (How's that for ambiguous, "somewhere around", but it's also "FINAL"...), I'll be guardedly optimistic.
Make that HEAVILY GUARDEDLY optimistic...
Verizon will decide when its released, not Samsung.
it says late in November for the carrier branded versions

I don't care. Wait before you flame, please...
I spent the last year with an Omnia, and I tried every possible rom on it until I found the one I liked/could put up with the missing features. It wasn't perfect, but I knew that a sweet android phone was in my upgrade future so I dealt. WinMo has it's flaws, but you can't fault the dev community for everything they did to make an ok device better.
Now here I sit swyping on arguably the best hardware on the market (other Galaxy S offerings aside...) and I have to say I really like it.
Voodoo-ed, de-binged, de-odexed, and de-TouchWizzed is way easier than trying a dozen roms on a weekend and adding .cabs from 100 websites to come up with a phone that still half the time didn't know where my finger was trying to press!
What does FroYo have to offer? Apps that run off the SD card? Flash? Minor, although it is a bit frustrating that by the time we get it, it will just about be time for gingerbread.
Guess I'm trying to say, the best stuff about froyo is going to get too us sooner or later whether VZW or Samsung give it to us or the very talented dev community here makes it happen. News that comes from them isn't why I log in here.

Quoted from original post 'No More pulling-out!!' That's what she said! Ha Ha...
I'm sorry I couldn't help it. I wont do it again I swear.
Honestly I can't wait to see what magic the dev community creates with Froyo and the Fascinate. My thanks to all of you!!!
Hopefully what happened with all the Droid 1 releases is what will happen here:
Motorola (in this case Samsung) readies a build, gives it to VZW for testing.
VZW takes forever testing it, and either rejects or preps it for release.
The "hopefully" part is that, hopefully, in the meantime, the file gets leaked from the Samsung end and into our hands.
Not trying to be pessimistic, but if that first file didn't leak, Im doubtful that this one will leak early either
If Verizon decides to sit on the release at least we have US Cellular as a backup. In fact it seems like US Cellular does not waste their time with carrier customizations so they might just push it out the same day they get it from Samsung.
I used to be a US Cellular customer, my wife still is, they will not get in any hurry, I would not count on them for anything.

You missed the point of the post bud.
Verizon, or any carrier, does NO customizations, they have NO development (read: coding) teams. They don't alter the file they receive from the OEM (in this case Samsung) in ANY WAY. The bloatware you see comes with the build straight out of Samsung's repository, with the specs that Verizon requested. They take their sweet time for a multitude of reasons, and somewhere in that timeframe its held up for internal testing. Each carrier is different, but Verizon is notorious for being an extensive tester, and rejecting builds pretty often.
Bloatware that Samsung did not code....VZW did or outsourced. Hence people are arguing with you. You aren't wrong, but neither are you entirely correct.

I made this post to give some indication of the progress of Froyo, sadly most people want more or are intent on offering some type of dark cloud.
I know Froyo might not be released on the 11th, but at least we have a legit source of its progress. Hopefully around that time or before we will have a leaked build for testing and or roms (like some other devices). I'm sure thats when the dev section will take off.
well if samsung releases it Nov 11, dont they post the source up too, so we could have a modded version running before vzw does anything?

So... No Ice Cream for our tab?

Why am I the only one who buying a device that don't get any oc updates?

Samsung has to say that there will be an update, otherwise no one will buy it. Thankfully we have devs who actually care about making the most out of the product. I'm not hating on Samsung. Every OEM does it.

Manufacturers usually don't announce something and take it away. If they don't want to offer something or aren't sure they just say it's "under consideration." For months sometimes. In addition the U.S. carriers have all published a list of Samsung devices to be updated and all the G-Tabs other than the original 7" are on it. If Samsung was just kidding I'd doubt they'd take the U.S. carriers down with them.

So true. I've had the same experience with different manufacturers, and they are pretty much the same, depending on which device you choose. As soon as they have new products on the market, they tend to put other products on the backburner. Sad but true. Only thing you can do to create a difference, is complaining to the manufacturers again and again, and not on forums.. that want do nothing for nobody..
Still put my two cents in Samsung.. so we can get a working camera

Dont forget you will have to UNROOT to get the OTA when it is released
R2142
If only it would please them to stop competing with LG for the Delayed Update Award, we'd be in business.
What freaks me out is we still havent seen a single leak.. while its by far the most popular 1st gen Android tablet.
The only reason I see for this is "a" build exists, it isnt being tested anywhere but in Samsung very own labs;
Not a single carrier or anything close to it has yet got to test it on its network. =(
I dont see it poping up on my tab overnight even if Bell says I should be hopefull. This is going to be a long summer.
Guys, you'll get your update, the TAB 10.1 is a popular device and all the 2011 line got the update or is getting it...
See my situation :
- My Tab 10.1v wil NEVER get updated.
- My EU Atrix will probably NEVER get updated while the US will get the update...late 2012.
- My wife's Ray got the update : it's filled with bugs, features that are not activated (auto light, auto flash) and it's super slow although the device is barely less powerful than the Nexus S.
So shut up, spoiled kids...
I hope Samsung will not act like Motorola.

That would put them well over 2 months late. When they first announced it they said 1Q which would of been March. Now I feel they are sitting on the update until the tab 10.1 v 2 has had some time to sell. They are basically the exact same hardware.

I'm really hoping it comes through soon. I have 4.2 on my phone and I love it

After trying to get a straight answer out of anyone at Samsung USA I am not betting anytime soon. If it happens by the end of this year I will honestly be shocked.
After going through the new christmas advertisement, i have a feeling that the update will definately come on or before 25th dec.
I think samsung wants to cash on shopping time, and put in a new advertisement in front of ppl to get that feel good factor for this tablet.
I really don't think they have any other reason to hold this update back from 8013 users otherwise.

That advertisement is posted on the Samsung mobile facebook page. The one they use for international users. If you look at the Samsung Mobile USA facebook page they do not even mention the note 10.1 AT ALL. It is all S3 Note 2 and the tab 2 10.1 It is like the note 10.1 does not even exist.
You would think with all the tech sites that someone could get answer about the 8013 but nothing to be found.

good point. The 8013 and 8010 are basically identical hardware wise, but it seems the 8013 has so many issues, including slow updates and problems with getting palm rejection on ezpdf reader. Had i know all this, I would have definitely gotten the 8010.

So the question remains
So.... With all that has been said the question still remains. Where and when is the update? There was a time, just recently, that you could not turn on the tv without seeing a Note 10.1 ad a thousand times. Now it is only occasional. They have moved on to the note 2.
You would think that with all of the tech sites and tech people that someone would know somebody at Samsung that would have an answer.
Why so silent about the 8013?
Is it an issue with the apple suit?
Are we just spoiled and impatient because we were not first?
You would think someone could figure this out.
It's a great question. You would think that with the 4th iPad, TF 700 as closest competition in the US they would get it out asap. They've pushed their GS3 with JB on almost all carriers in US (correct me if i'm wrong), their Note 2 had JB when released and almost all got the new update with more multitasking, all that's left of their top 3 would be the GN 10.1.
As an earlier posted stated some misgivings about the 8010 and 8013, i thought they were identical in hardware. The only difference methought, was some of the applications that were on the Note 10.1. Part of the reason other countries got the JB update I thought was 1.) They had GN 10.1 released to them before the US, 2.) Had cellular support 3.) Beta test for any hiccups. I've never known Samsung to have huge issues with their updates (except on cellular which is more carrier related and the 1 incident that could essentially wipe your phone with a html link) but i thought maybe some of these carriers made a big stink BEFORE their contract with Samsung saying they wanted JB by [certain date]. I know if Samsung doesn't get it out by that date they get fined or charged per day - but this is all a guess on my part. I can see the new 8020 getting JB before it gets released, because it's newer and has LTE. All i can think is that sadly this time around their wifi didn't get the update 1st.
If there was someway i didn't have to change my csc and essentially do a complete wipe on my 8013, i would upgrade to another version of the JB. If all i have to do is Odin the pda file of the UK version then i'll do it - i am getting anxious as all of us, but i refuse to lose my data this time around (yes i know about TI, i just prefer not to have to do it).
Perhaps we should write to the leaders of XDA and see if THEY can get a response out of samsung and post it on their main page. That or androidcentral. Android central posted when germany was getting the "premium suite" upgrade that it was a slow roll out - which made it seem like it was hitting all the different countries/regions separately and over time. Technically i guess this is correct, but i'm wondering if they just repeated what was written elsewhere or from the PR which didn't explicitly say whether it was just for germany, etc. (Although then the UK received it, etc.)
What us Wifi users are waiting on is when the 8010/8013 suite will be released from us, and so far, thanks to the success of the GN2 and GS3, we are what seems to be one of he last of priorities.

good point. The 8013 and 8010 are basically identical hardware wise, but it seems the 8013 has so many issues, including slow updates and problems with getting palm rejection on ezpdf reader. Had i know all this, I would have definitely gotten the 8010.

Or you can just flash n8010 firmware via Odin on 8013 and you now have 8010 note

Does your data get wiped? It uses the same kernel i'm guessing?
It almost has to be a legal issue with Apple at this point. Portions of the trial are still ongoing so Its quite possible the Samsung lawyers are blocking anything that could fuel the fire, especially since Apple specifically moved to add the Note 10.1 and Android 4.1 to the lawsuit.
Sad that Verizon was faster on the s3 than Samsung was on their so called "flagship" product. Never thought that would happen either. At least I now have JB on something
Then why would Samsung continue to release updates to their US carrier partners such as Verizon with the gs3? The premium suite is essentially the same across the board with except of UI and how its implemented.

Jellybean is out on all major carriers in the US for Galaxy S III now. Really doubt that reason.

I agree. I have the feeling it will be here before Christmas. The only question is whether I am patient enough to withstand flashing the German stock rom in the meantime.
