Umm... what?
Also, I really wish that article would say where they got their info from...
To be honest, this sounds like an outlet trying to be the first to break the news - even when the news hasn't been made yet... It's just that the update is obviously so close, they probably can't be wrong with this news story...
But, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe the multiple times I've read false stories claiming a release date have just gotten me to be too negative. Here's to hoping.

I just realized this article is from London. Excuse my idiotic comments above.

that article is wrong
tmobile has sold over 1,000,000 g1s
1 million g1s sold!
and its pretty obvious the update is coming out in may because the vodafone phone is also launching on may 5th...and the adp cupcake update is already released which means the regular g1s will have their update soon enough

Holy time travelers Batman!

2.2 ATT released, XDA gets slammed, same page!

title and this webpage say all
http://www.gizmocrunch.com/android/5375-samsung-captivate-froyo-update
pay attention to "About the ongoing Samsung Froyo fiasco" talkin about user SamsungJohn

dont see anything regarding xda getting slammed

2.2 has not been released and the article does not slam XDA. Why was this post even made?

Either this article is written in Asia or they are from the future. I don't see any info which is of importance...

Quote from article
" Just yesterday, things took a turn for the worse when a Samsung Mobile rep attempted to reach out to the upset Galaxy S owners via the XDA Developers Forums. The stunt was seen as nothing more than PR grabbing by the members of XDA and worsened the relationship between US Galaxy S owners and Samsung Mobile."
ATT 2.2 here
http://ars.samsung.com/customer/usa...ID=2&PROD_SUB_ID=557&PROD_ID=559&AT_ID=356772

I guess you can perceive that the article is slamming xda by assuming our members here were hostile towards john. But the article already informs that it was just a samsung pr stunt. The title of this thread is misleading. The only thing this article does is assume that there is no ota update because it will be available via kies mini which is not a good assumption because the previous update was available both ways. This is all pure speculation because no official froyo update has even been announced.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

a long while ago there was an AT&T support page showing how to find something or another and the support page showed that the firmware was 2.2, it has since been changed to a 2.1 firmware version, but as we all know, froyo hasnt happened. so, probably nothing.

Yeah the article still does not slam XDA...and as stated before a page telling you how to update does not mean there is an update.

Is this page new? It links only to Kies Mini rather than to the firmware itself, and no one seems to have reported anything about updates starting, and lord only knows, we'd be hearing a lot if it was really downloadable, and the fact that the page includes the lines
Modifications:
MobiTV: Renamed to T_Mobile TV
and
What are risks for performing the upgrade?
This upgrade has been thoroughly tested by Samsung and AT&T to be compatible with Captivate devices running previous versions of the released software. Customers who are running unsupported operating systems (e.g. those that are rooted or have not been received from T-Mobile and Samsung) should move forward at their own risk.​
makes me think this is a placeholder page being updated in advance of the real thing and not something intended to be clicked on.

We have enough threads about this.

To Devs: Samsung Galaxy S Value Pack leaked

Hi Developers...
Samsung's Value Pack for Galaxy S just leaked. I think this will open more tweaks to all you guys... Hope that some features of this high end phones will be available to "ALL" android phones..
check sammobile for this latest news.
** sorry can't post it as link

Ive had a look around on sammobile and all i can find is :-
No plans for Value Pack or Android 4.0 for Galaxy S
Bad new for all Samsung Galaxy S owners.
A spokespersoon at Samsung told us threre will be no update or ‘Value Pack’ for the Samsung Galaxy S.
Samsung told a couple of weeks ago they cannot update because of hardware problems.
Many people get angry on that and they open a online petition page.
Because there are too many people angry on Samsung, they told we will check again.
A week after is the result still bad.
No Android 4.0 or ”Value Pack” updates!
http://www.sammobile.com/2012/01/04/no-plans-for-value-pack-or-android-4-0-for-galaxy-s/
IF you could post something to help me find it that would be great

Please pay attenrion for Samsung users

Hello all
I ask everyone who has a device from Samsung company not to close the tab and read to the end of this post.
I'll start with the prehistory. My first Android-tablet was Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7. I was incredibly happy because it was a unique device. Screen, build quality, metal, processor and capacious battery. I could not get enough of. I bought it for $ 721. it was in June of last year, I must say he has a birthday coming up.
And just a month later I got an update ice cream sandwich. It was the best firmware, and no matter what that summer, Google released a jelly bean.
Time passed, and Samsung is not going to renew our wonderful tablet to the latest version of android. I was waiting for. My patience ran out in March 2013.
March 7 I began to send in the forums with the topic of the samsung galaxy tab 7.7 messages with calls about the attack of the official pages of Samsung in social networks messages such as "We want Jelly Bean for Galaxy Tab 7.7!!!".
We are bombarded official page Samsung USA, Samsung and Thailand. I want to believe that they have heard our cries and dissatisfaction. And 29 days ago, Samsung launched the upgrade to Jelly Bean for Thailand. And that's it. certainly present in the firmware English language, but what about those who live in the countries of the CIS? Those who know neither Thai nor English language. The same China and Japan!
29 days have passed. and no region except Thailand did not get updated until now. I wrote about this in support of Samsung, the country where I live (Ukraine), but I was told that there is no information about the update, and until.
So my dear friends, and just those who are indifferent to our problem, and in general the problem of updating all Samsung devices, I urge you to attack samsunga page on facebook and other social networks. I think it will suit us more than the banner of
"I hate samsung for that instead of an update for my device, it produces a copy of it with a modified design !!!."
official Samsung Support page on Facebook
official Samsung Thailand page
Samsung Mobile Thailand
I will be grateful for the repost of this topic in any topics on xda/social networks
Thanks All

Cannot seem to find the build to get to ZRK4 for S8+ but it said it is up.

Well its gonna be a long wait but hope it will worth it. I just want sammy to update mali drivers so that i can play nfsc and underground series

I love to be proven wrong specialy on something like this. So it looks to be

just wait for the exynox variant

In a brief interview with Tom's Guide's writer, a Samsung person told him that 8' series wouldn't be included. Tom's guide and other sites quickly made it into a big news and published it without verifying or using common sense. The news fed on the fears.
But the Samsung person all he told was 8' series wouldn't be included in the beta program along with 9' series. It's best to use common-sense, sit back, and wait for the verified/official news before going and bashing any company. Comment sections of those sites are going bonkers with too much hate and anger. LOL!
A senior Samsung official confirmed that 8' series would definitely get the Pie update with One UI and clarified the misinterpretation of the news sites.
I wouldn't expect it to hit our 8 series devices before March 2019. Maybe in June 2019.
Cheers!

Yeah that is true, as far as samsung did for older models, 8 series's last android update will be pie. Least we will get it. Also in my other thread in s8+ discussions, a member has talked with a samsung expert and that expert told him 8 series will be in beta testing and we would get a notification. User has uploaded the screenshot. Its still doubtfull if we will be in beta testing or not

the S9 korean variant just got the beta, only wait

Curious whether the Project Trouble helps to port the S9 Pie ROM to S8.

Would Samsung implement Project Treble for the S8 with the Pie update?

If we get treble with Pie, the development is gonna kickstart... I'm waiting

Who knows. Maybe, maybe not. We'll see when it comes to the device next year. But the thing is, we don't really need a major upgrade just to get treble on S8 and S8+. Samsung could implement it by just including it on monthly updates. You can actually test via adb to check if S8 already has treble in it.

Now we all know to take what chat support agents comments with a pinch of salt, but by chance I asked via the chat function in Samsung members app and they said there would be a pie beta, God knows how much truth there is in this and when it will happen, I'm on the same firmware that I beta tester oreo so il keep an eye out

I would say S8 would get the One UI earlier as its looks like in the UK, S9 is getting updates earlier than January, with the updates for US S9 likely for early January 2019. Hopefully this pattern recreates itself for the March release for S8.

I just read an article that Samsung released a roadmap for pie updates, and it shows the S8 and Note 8 will receive Android Pie March 2019
