Did you know your Sprint Hero will be getting Eclair early next year? Well...now you do! Happy Friday ladies and gents
I don't think anyone was questioning if. Its when.
yea, i wasnt ever concerned whether we were going to get the update, but rather the time frame in which we would.
confirmatory tweets are always welcomed though
Looks like it won't be for several months.

"Happy to announce Android 2.0 is coming to Sprint’s Hero & Moment. Date TBD, but roughly 1H 2010."
1st half.... not even 1st quarter!!!

Might as well have just said "it'll come out eventually", haha.
Hahahaha
Lets see 1H 2010, ususally the updates run about 2 time periods behind when they say that they will be available... so looking somewhere around 1H2011...
By that time, the development work for 2.1 here in XDA-Developers will already be done and all of us will be looking forward to the next release.
I wonder why the Moment is being held up on the 2.0 release, when it's just vanilla Android. I really didn't think they were going to give us that broad of a timespan though. I figured January would be the latest that we'd have 2.0. So unless Google makes some changes, there's a good chance we won't be using their newest apps for a long time (officially anyway). By the time we get 2.0, Droid will be running 4.5 .
as long as we get 2.1 here first and i can brag about it for a whole before anyone else has it, im happy lol.

Thank you for your post. I've read in more than one site questions regarding IF the sprint hero was getting Eclair even some doubters. Good job

HTC has affirmed that we will be getting an update on more than one occasion now, but you're right, a reminder and an update from them is always welcome. I just wish we could keep talks of this in a single thread.

*cough*we need a mod*cough*
But, thanks for the update...I really wanna try some of these apps that need Eclair!
1H 2010? Really? Talk about vague. I may go back to big red for the Passion if we don't see it very soon.
I love Sprint, and my Hero, but let's be real.... almost every Android phone on the market will be LIGHT YEARS ahead of us if it takes more than a couple months at most.
While I agree that it isn't cool to toy around with us...specially since we'll still be behind when the update hits most likely. But still...I don't think that not getting an update warrants hopping the fence haha.
but then again, I cannot even really use that since I "hopped the proverbial fence" after my girlfriend dumped me and haven't looked back...if you get my drift haha

I think it's a perfect reason to hop the fence, show sprint that we want our updates, we can't do anything on 1.5 .. no nav, no goggles, nothing new and exciting, i'm fed up and i would rather start over with a new phone.. than wait for sprint to get off their lazy behinds and feed us something that should have been out already

Or keep your eyes peeled for the 2.0-ish roms we have in the works here, there's a decent chance we'll be fully up and running by the time the other phones get their official update. But by all means, "stick it to the 'man'..." and cancel your service. It's your prerogative. I personally don't see the need. I like my sprint service and I like my sprint hero. /shrug

See, I don't think Sprint will have an update for us until about May (I just have a feeling on this). In light of that, I'm definitely looking at the development on the 2.0/2.1 ROMs in the other threads...those look like they will be ready way before Sprint updates us.

So... who do you think is in the lead now, HTC devs or Sprint? My $ is still on you guys. God only knows how long the testing phase will actually be.

if you've gotten it post a dump so it can be rooted
Hey whats the commands to dump the phone?
I unrooted my MT3G so its on 1.6 atm.
And oddly I don't believe it. Until T-Mobile gives the announcement, itis all speculation.
@Ace just get a logcat app and IF you get it, run it and post it, we will get the link for it.

Fail. This article was dated from last year.
I know noone knows me from anything.. but Im not out for attention on this.
When I went in to change my plan last week and check my upgrade credit it was in mid morning and I was the only customer so I was able to sit down with the re for a while talking about phones and he showed me the fender Mytouch demoo.. blah blah.. Anyway.. When we were talking about if I should wait for the fender mytouch or get a CLiq, he mentioned to me that the new updates would be officially out between feb 7th-21st. I asked him what build he said depending on the phone 2.01 and 2.1. He knew I had a G1 and he said that I may be getting 2.1. This guy has been working in the same store for about 4 years so I know hes not some rambling new guys saying whatever I want to hear.

We all know the Captivate is getting its official 2.2 update in a few months.
My question is, since I rooted my Captivate, will I have to do anything special to update? Or, will I just be able to manually check for updates and It will install automatically from there?

I don't know if you can update under settings or not, but if you are rooted I would wait for an official CM6 mod. I would think it would another month or two before that comes out.

When we flashed an old ROM on my buddy's G1 and rooted it, we didn't update the phone... he downloaded an OTA update and it flashed the new version to his phone successfully and removed root access. Had to do it all over again
I'm guessing the Captivate will be much the same, however if you are concerned you can always unroot the phone when AT&T/Samsung/Your favorite tech blog let you know OTA updates are being pushed to the Captivate.

I was actually wondering if he was serious. Been so many topics with this discussed in them. Didn't know if he was serious or playing around.
To the OP, I don't know jack bout android, contrary to what you think, but I do read, read and read some more. I had my first fuze for about three months before I got another to start playing with. Before I even got the phone I was reading up on it and learning. So I read and learned winmo for about 6 months before I got on to flashing.
I've been reading about android for the past couple months, been reading bout the captivate for the past week. I must say, about 25% of the topics I read talked about froyo, and at least 4 outa 5 times, someone asked this question. Not to mention all the threads that started with this same question.
So maybe I wrote too fast with my response, but really in my head I was curious if he was serious. This place used to make people have an account for so long before posting, and even longer before you could start a thread. It was for the spammers, but used to make people read. Not sure if thats still in effect, but it sure doesn't seem like it. Look at the guys whove been here for 1, 2, 3 years even and have less than fifty posts, what do you they are doing?

Ok really an OTA update for a phone should be no different from a Bios Flash on a PC, as the BIOs flash rewrites primary data to default settings so should the OTA update flash. So when 2.2 froyo flashes the OTA update it should in fact rewrite the phone rom to a default state and return the phone to all stock unrooted settings and return all bloat ware.

Good story....so how much space did you just waste? I'm sure everyone is thankful for your input, I read the forums everyday and have yet to see a definitive answer on weather or not we'll get OTA updates after we fiddle with our phones. My Nexus could not, I assume the Captivate can't either. I guess we'll have to flash back to stock to receive carrier updates. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.....cus that was the point of this thread right?

I am guilty as well of asking a ton of questions ans starting threads moat of which are answered without the lecture....,,,,Every forum has the self appointed "Forum Police" Apparently now even some have have "cadets in training"
Guys, FROYO (2.2) hasn't been released officially for our Captivates! But no, if you're talking about OTA updates then no, they will not work on our rooted Captivates well. Sometimes you may be able to register an update but it will fail if you are rooted but for MOST captivates it won't even get that far.
Personally, OTA updates are really unreliable so I'd either wait for someone on the dev section to grab it and make it usable for Odin, since that's easier for me and I can reinstall the software if something bad happens.
And no, a new firmware/ROM for our phones isn't like a BIOS update. I'm not sure how the process goes in depth but I'm pretty sure it just installs over the existing software and (if required) changes some settings deep in the phone's bootloader if necessary. Obviously a 2.2 or any other OS upgrade would mean the phone wipes the device first, which is one reason why OTA would not work.
Hope I answered everything?

I don't understand why you keep emphasizing spelling. Did I spell something wrong? Also, the 2.2 update is not here for AT&T Captivates. I guess this isn't really relevant to you as you're on Rogers.
So this is going to be I897UCKB1, according to the info sections near the bottom? I don't think I've seen a firmware beginning with K before. Iiiiinteresting. Let's see what XDA does with this if it truly is what we've been waiting for.

Hey i spoke to samsung on live chat and they did say samsung infuse will get official ics update.
Hi, thank you for contacting Samsung Technical Support. How may I help you today?
Visitor: Hi i wanted to ask if the samsung infuse 4g would be getting the ice cream sandwich update as you guys promised it would
Simpson: I understand that you want to know if Infuse 4g will get a ICS update in near future. Is that correct?
Visitor: yes
Simpson: Thank you for confirming.
Simpson: Would you mind in holding for a few minutes while I check the information?
Visitor: ok
Simpson: Thank you.
Simpson: Thank you for holding.
Simpson: I can see that Samsung is in close contacts with the Google and all the carriers to release the Icecream sandwich update for Infuse.
Simpson: I am glad to inform you that your phone is in the update list and is close to receive the update however the dates are not confirmed yet.
Simpson: The Icecream sandwich update for your phone will be released as soon as possible.
Simpson: We apologize for any inconvenience caused to you.
Simpson: When ever an update is released for your phone you will get an notification alert on your phone informing you about the released update.
Simpson: We sincerely apologize for the delay caused to you.
Visitor: so you guys confirmed that there will be an update?
Simpson: Yes, but we don't have exact date for it.
Simpson: I’m sorry for the inconvenience.
Visitor: o okay thank you. Do you guys think it will happen this year?
Simpson: I think it will as Samsung is working in this regard with Google.

"Visitor: Hi i wanted to ask if the samsung infuse 4g would be getting the ice cream sandwich update as you guys promised it would"
They never promised anything...but who knows miracles could happen and they may not have been just giving you lip service
so... make it happen "the google"!
Samsung Technical Support can you please send me a link when the icecream update is ready for the Infuse 4g.
I highly doubt ICS is ever coming to infuse... but good to see there is a slight hope.
I just want them to release more stable version of official gb
It will take forever
lol even though it will come jelly bean (android 5.0) will probobly be out by then. I mean froyo to gingerbread is small step and took atnt forever to release it. gingerbread to ics is huge step and will take atnt forever to release it to lol. The only reason i want them to release it is for bluetooth and camera drivers. Entropy's rom is awsome and is my daily driver but it doesnt have bluetooth and camera isnt the best quility so if samsung does release official the entropy's rom will be awsome. Yeah a more stable gb rom would be good to cause the one out right now doesnt have hdmi support and only records 720p at 15frames per second

Maybe ask them by model number (SHG-I997) so they don't confuse it with the "Inspire" again.

Dont put stock in what Samsung has to say as they have little control over the update. ATT has complete control. Samsung may release it to ATT but then ATT may never release it. It is not unheard of. Happens all the time with ATT phones. The euro version gets 1 or 2 updates whle the US version never sees any updates at all.
This is what i got

Nicole: I would like to inform you that, we do not have any information on future release updates. However; once the update is available, it will be posted on our website in the Samsung Download Center or you will be informed by your service provider. Please feel free to check with us periodically for updates.
Nicole: I would like to inform you that, currently, 2.3 Gingerbread is the latest software version for your device. ICS has not been released. Once the update is available, it will be posted on our website in the Samsung Download Center or you will be informed by your service provider. Please feel free to check with us periodically for updates.
I have to agree, it would be awesome if they do bring ICS to our phone. However, it'll be a couple of months before they release a "Leak" of it, and by the time it's released on Kies, I'm sure all of us will be up for an upgrade, and we'll all have the SG3 looking for a Jellybean leak, trying to OC and Theme the hell out of it.. lol..
Guys.... there were articles everywhere stating that att would only release ics to some of their very high end phones. The infuse is not a high end phone anymore. Sammy may make an update... but the chances of us ever seeing it are little as att will abolish it immediatly. Only if someone was in very close contact with sammy....
I agree with you, which is pretty much why we're all here on XDA looking for the latest and greatest for our phone, which is why I applaud and send my MANY thanks to everyone responsible for every Mod/Theme/Firmware update possible. I know I just officially joined this site, but I've been coming to it for quite sometime, to look for ways to mod not just my phone, but also friends of mine who are not as Tech-savy as I am, so I find myself getting asked to mod all my friends phones all the time. Luckily, I find it fun to do, not to mention, it helps me get a better understanding of how things work and why they operate the way they do. but anyhow.. If it is true that this phone will get ICS that's awesome, but if not, well.. atleast it was a nice thought. Even though, it still baffles me that Developers here at XDA can port ROMs from other phones and are getting quite efficient at it too by the way, and it takes manufactures months actually almost a year to release an old outdated Firmware upgrade (Gingerbread) and still had plenty of bugs.. so what's the difference at this point where we get updates from.. lol..
