Android 2.3 coming in a few months for captivate

Hi,
I'm not sure which section of to put this thread in, but anyways. I was at AT&T buying some screen protectors for my captivate and the salesperson told me that 2.3 is coming in a few months for the captivate. I hope this will answer some questions. Hopefully the salesperson wasn't lying. But this is good new!!! PS there is the same post in the Q&A section that I accidently posted. I meant to post in the General section.

You couldn't have said it any better wonner, I will never believe anything any AT&T reps have to say.

AT&T sales people are extremely knowledgeable and always right.

So they're saying Anroid 2.3 will come out in 2013? Great!

Are you sure he said that last "for the captivate" part? I'm sure what he meant was "we'll eventually have a phone with android 2.3. It won't be the captivate, I'm just telling you now so you get your wallet ready."

My friend works for rogers up here in canada and he was saying the same thing about gingerbread. hopefully it is sometime soon within a couple of months.

Who cares where it comes from. If there's official 2.3.3 out somewhere, devs here will get their hands on it.

I'm with you

i think he meant cyanogen, he wants us to use cyanogen rather than waiting for an other year.

Yeah, I've never had a salesperson lie to me.
Caution swyping! Read at your own risk.

Would I like to see official 2.3 sure, but either way I'll end up running g-bread
Sent from my I896 using Fireyly 2.7

We will see. I wouldn't say give up all hope that 2.3 will ever get to us... but based on past history... don't hold your breath. Also, my experience with AT&T reps is there are a few that have a clue on Android and they are like us. coming to XDA and various blogs for their info. I don't think AT&T gives them official anything.

GB update?

Any word on when att will push out the GB update? I hear sometime this summer but didn't know if anyone has heard of a specific date.

Nope, nothing definite yet. You'll know it is getting close when you see a leaked ROM come up as a story on the tech sites, as you see with most other phones who get their updated ROMs leaked.

+1. Usually you'll see an article on Android Central or Phandroid when one leaks.

Yeah I did some searching before posting. Was just hoping for a definitive answer. Thanks guys

I don't care what day it gets released anymore. It's probably going to take a long while knowing AT&T. I just want it to hurry up and get leaked.

I hear ya on that! A leaked ROM would tell me that it is in the pipeline and would be released in a couple, or a few months afterwards. After seeing all the other HTC phones get leaks of gingerbread, (Evo, Evo Shift, Desire, Desire HD, and Thunderbolt), getting official announcements, or actually receiving the updates, I'm wondering where our leak is. I'm not complaining, just would like to see a leak soon to know it is coming. I just would like us to get word of a leaked ROM, preferably before they officially announce the rumored Holiday. Especially since the Holiday is gonna be my next phone after I hit my upgrade.

There was a leaked ROM for the unbranded DHD a weeks or so ago. Surprised I haven't seen any ROMs based on it yet. I've been running it for a week or so and it seems super stable.

You mad because people want to use there phones instead of showing them to you?

Sounds like butthurt because the phone hasn't arrived.
Just be patient, everyone will get their ordered phones in time. The end of the world is in five months so you'll have yours by then.

He's excited that the VZW GS3 are finally showing up to the party fashionably late and wants to live vicariously through others by watching their YouTube videos of unboxing, benchmarking, and just people having fun with their new toys, I'm guessing while he waits for his own to show up.

blame it on the VZW messenger

actually talked to a verizon rep on the phone today and she said there are no delays so far and that i'll get my phone on the evening of the 11th or day of the 12th even if the ship date is the 11th.
was happy that she said no delays since I know people with ship by date of july 9th were getting their phones today so it might actually come earlier if anyone cares i preordered on 6/27

Luckily all the boxes and devices are the same minus a logo on the back..
Go watch an AT&T review or a T-Mobile unboxing.

Alex brings up a good point earlier today about Google not releasing a new version of Android this year. Jelly Bean brings a lot of under the hood changes, and it's highly possible that Google is going to spend time and effort to refine them, and issue a few point-releases throughout the year and into the next. But of course, this is all speculation. We have no idea what Google is apt to do, and they could surprise us all.
But speculation can be fun. So let's do some! then feel free to expand your answer in the comments. You never know, Google may listen

I think there will not really be an other version. jellybean will maybe get an update but there will be no "Key lime pie" version this year.
requestion: does someone now who will give the versions the name?

Key lome pie are not sound good .. Lol
Maybe marshmallow will be fine..
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda premium

Yes there will. If Apple is going to release a new phone and a new OS, so will Google. Period.

Jelly Bean is the new version of Android for this year.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium

I think Google wont bring us a new version but little updates for Jellybean like 4.1.1 etc.

as what blog said we will became busy this year for jellybean craze
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda premium

Maybe later on in the year.
They usually release two versions per year.
JellyBean&?->2012
Honeycomb&ICS->2011
Froyo&Gingerbread->2010

I think there will bei a New Version this year, because still we are missing a New phone from google this year. I think there will be a New nexus phone like the galaxy nexus last year in october.

Well yeah, for an official HTC ROM. But what about AOSP ROMs? That will almost inevitably be sooner than that.
I believe I saw that CM plans to have a release out by December.

Actually "within 90 days". It could be next week or February.

HTC might come out with an update within 90 days, there's still a wait for Verizon to approve (not that that really matters for us).
We'll be seeing 5.0 before that though, as the GPE images will be rolling out much sooner.

From the articles I have read over the last few weeks it has the GPE devices getting it on par or after the regular m8.

Yeah, lets ignore the HTC exec I linked to saying, specifically, that the GPE will get it before the standard M8.
