Just throwing in my 2 sence about the update to 2.2 - Captivate General

I have email both Samsung and ATT along with live chatin with both also. Email responces for both Samsung and ATT have been the same both times to an extent. What i did learn was with the live chat. ATT's live chat although pretty much the same as the email. The tec i talked to couldn't tell me when but he did shead some light on something which i didn't know. According to the tec ATT really doesn't have anything to do with the release and update. Here i thought from everything i have been reading it's been ATT draging their feet thats not the case. So Got a responce from Samsung asking pretty much the same thing i did in the ATT email. Asked when the 2.2 android update would be out. Coarse got back the same as i normaly did stating their working on bringing the best experence with the upgrade and download that they can. So it's coming. What i also did was added how the ATT tec said ATT doesn't have anything to do with the release and when it will be out. Samsung didn't correct me about this. So send all emails to Samsung maybe they will get tired of all the questions and be able to give us a time frame.

The response you got from Samsung is the same they have been throwing out for months. The AT&T reps are trained to always say it is not their fault.
Think what you want, but Samsung passed Froyo build to AT&T a while back, and AT&T is sitting on it. We have a Beta from October to prove that - it has all the ATT&T bloatware.
Unless you talk to a manager that knows about software releases (not a customer service person) you will only get canned responses.

Like every topic of this nature that has been posted and what the person above me said most of the people you talk to make it up as they go. At&t us the culprit behind the laggy release but of course they will tell you otherwise. What is the difference between a rogers and att phone that makes it samsungs fault?

Process =
1. Samsung readies firmware and gives to the carrier. ATT likely has had the firmware in hand since late November (the same time samsung gave it to T-mobile).
2. generally takes carrier 2-3 months to customize the firmware/test/lockdown features/install their bloatware etc. ATT definitely holding it back at this point but i think it will arrive sooner rather than later. I would say Verizon and ATT both got their firmware at same time as t-mobile they have just taken longer to finalize the update for the push. In ATT's case i would suggest it all hinges on them trying to lockdown the native MobileAP feature so you have to use their App with paid tethering.

2 cents.

Seriously. What's not unhelpful is out of date.
IT is getting increasingly galling at this point. I love how when you write to Samsung and ask, they say they can't provide an answer because it would lead to speculation and inaccurate information. But of course it's exactly yhe opposite that is actually true...
There is zero point to speculating/complaining about the lack of an official Froyo update. I'm not saying I don't sympathize, just that it's non-productive.

Samsung won't speculate because AT&T is sitting on this... here is more proof:
http://www.wireless.att.com/answer-...ncharset=UTF-8&solutionId=KB115196&isSrch=Yes
The title says it all "Send, Receive, or Delete a Picture, Audio or Video Message (MMS) with the Samsung Captivate (i897) with Android 2.2"
And Samsung's tweets to me confirm it... when pressed - they specifically said 2.2 had not been released to "Captivate Users".
I have always maintained that AT&T is sitting on the release. Why, I am not sure, but the fact that numerous support pages reference 2.2 indicates that they geared up to push it out a while ago - that means stable builds have been available or they would not have made support pages that have very specific screen shots.

ANDROID 2.2 Supposedly this Wednesday!

First Off, OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!
Take this with a grain of salt but I just got off of the phone with AT&T after calling in about not being able to send MMS messages with my phone since I have had it.
They said it has been an Ongoing problem and Samsung has been working on the issue and that Samsung would be releasing a fix this Wednesday (Not Today Wednesday).
Note that I was actually talking to the real tech support people at AT&T(I was transfered to them)
I asked the lady if it was going to be an OTA update and if it was going to be Android 2.2 and she put me on hold to go ask her supervisor and he said He believes that the fix is going to be released with/through the Android 2.2 update...
Needless to say, I was a very giddy customer on the phone and I am going to be an extremely satisfied customer if this is true.
These were the actual tech support people I was talking to so it should be true right?
I just thought I would share this with everyone.
This would be good news.
From what i heard, and this is only a rumor, that sept 23 is froyo for non US devices.
I hope you're right!!
It would be kind of silly for other countries to be receiving the Android updates before we do. Google, an American based and located company.
Am I the only one who thinks that?

Nope. The galaxy s came out months before the us and google has nothing to do with the captivate except just providing the source code for samsung...

hehe your really going to trust AT&T on that promise lol that funny
Sorry. I don't believe a att Rep.
Well I am in agreement here that the ATT rep is probably incorrect. Working as a vzw customer service rep we get no indication as to when updates will be pushed to phones and also our tech support people don't even know.
ahhh i can believe it and it would be great because im looking forward to flash 10

But I guess Samsung is working on a fix and what better way to release it than through Froyo =]
I've heard rumors as well but not from any great sources. A majority of the AT&T representatives that I've dealt with are very ill-informed about anything android related.
While talking to a VZW rep he mentioned something about the Fascinate being better than the Captivate because it does have the newest version of android.. 1. No it doesn't 2. The Fascinate has a flash, that must mean it's more powerful >.>
Take anything you hear from a carrier with a lot of salt. The best way to figure out when 2.2 will be available is to watch over firmware websites. A new 2.2 I9000 firmware was just posted and leads me to believe that it is going to be released soon. The AT&T branded official firmware will be a bit farther off.

Unfortunately, it's a South Korean company that makes our phone.
WOW! Another "I talked to an AT&T rep and they told me something great" thread. Because this must be the one AT&T tech person that has the inside scoop.
Sorry to rain on anyone's parade, but if we took all the threads that contained a statement "X is coming on day Y because an [carrier name here] rep told me so and they know because they are [insert highest level possible here]" and then we did an analysis to see which ones turned out to be true - I bet the percentage would hover around 0 - I would go out on a limb and say the percentage actually is 0.
Since we haven't even seen a leaked 2.2 captivate ROM, this is more then a longshot.
Samsung still has to create and test the Firmware and then AT&T has to test it. It will be a while.

Since I keep reading a lot speculation about this around here, maybe I can shed some light into the typical process a device goes through when it is built and updated.
The carrier commits to ordering x number of units from the OEM with options to buy more at a certain price. In exchange for the minimum order commitment, the OEM promises to make customizations to the build of the device (industrial design, firmware and installed software) for the carrier. The OEM will also commit to a certain number of updates, fixes or patches contractually. And in this case, Google as the OS supplier will support and work very closely with both AT&T and even more so with Samsung. However, all the coding and build work is done by the OEM. Testing is done first by the OEM who puts out interim builds as defects get addressed. Release candidates are then sent to the carrier who will do their own testing mostly to make sure the devices play nicely with their network.

I'm putting the Froyo update up there with Santa Claus, The Easter Bunny, and The Tooth Fairy...
I've been with At&t for ten years. Not because they've treated me so well, but because they are the only game in the country. No one else goes to the trouble; that makes At&t something special. In the city you have choices; here we have At&T...
I waited specifically for a Samsung android phone because I like Samsung and as a linux user I am committed to open source. Yeah, I would like to get a froyo update, and soon, but I like this hand-held as is. So, I'll wait for a while, and if At&t still doesn't come through, then I'll avail myself of the offerings here and get it by whatever means necessary. It's not so long yet that there is no hope of At&t doing what is right...

Not saying that at all. But if there is to be a Froyo release for the Captivate, it will already be part of the deal AT&T has with Samsung.
Since Froyo was GA before the Captivate was even in stores, I think AT&T would almost have to plan for the upgrade. And I think Google will have put some pressure on AT&T to provide the upgrade since it helps to reduce OS version fragmentation which is very much in Google's interest. So my guess is, WE WILL see a Froyo build for our Captivate. The question is when.

gps fix by end of sept and froyo in few days to months

Just got off the phone with samsung. Tech support said gps fix for sure by end of sept. And froyo as soon as a few days to no more than few months. Also the update will come straight from them no att involved. Sept. 21
Fro-noes!!
Froyo update. As soon as a few days to no later then a few months. Thats like me saying, Yeah........Ill get back to you Mr. President. Within a few days, but no later then 4 years when your run is over with. Garenteed!
Every time someone calls Samsung or walks into an AT&T store and asks about fixes and updates, we get a slightly different answer. A dozen calls will yield a dozen different answers. The reality is that none of the people you can get to through the normal channels will know diddly squat about the actual release schedules. If we're lucky, the better than average rep/support tech will hear something about it a few days before it happens at best.
To get the real schedule, we need inside information. We need a Deep Throat! Someone on the test team at AT&T and someone on the dev/QA team at Samsung.

What if the dev/QA team at Samsung/ATT doesn't even have a schedule yet? This may sounds crazy but it is possible.
Remember that Galaxy S UK announced their Froyo update schedule 3 months ago. US division, on the other hand, still hasn't announced anything. Is it reasonable to assume the wait for Froyo update will be at least another 3 months?

I have been checking the Samsung site nearly daily for a week or so because their tech support also told me it would be available on their support site. However the last few days my bookmarked page is 404 and drilling down through the web site comes up dry also on downloadable Captivates stuff.

In all likelihood, it is part of their deal with AT&T to supply certain updates within certain time frames -- standard practice. It will also need to be factored into Sammy's development schedule as it sounds like their devs are going to be quite busy with different Galaxy S updates. There's probably only a couple dozen people who actually know first-hand what those dates are.
Few months...sounds like next year to me. Hopefully not, I really want Froyo on it.
whats the huge advantage of having 2.2? really whats so big about it

OMG I'm currently downloading something from the update menu in the phone.
Update: OMG It just finished the download and is 50% through the update.
Update: OMG it went to 100% and said "update is failed." Is this because I'm rooted?
Update: Unrooted to try again and it don't let me re-update. The "check once/24hrs" deal is bull**** yO` Screw you ATT

Got an email this morning from Tec support about 2.2 being available.

I sent them an email a couple of days ago explaining crap thats going on with the phone and how Froyo 2.2 would from what i understand fix most of the problems etc etc. I just wanted to try again to find out about a date. Well i got an email back from tec. upport saying they are glad to announce that the 2.2 update IS available and to call their 800 number for help if i had problems installing. but clicking on the link just brings me to the old FAQ page that they took down. Come on Samsung get a freaking clue. I don't understand why they would send this out and not be true?????
(so maybe things will be rolling out today then because after rereading email i noticed their central time which is 3 hours behind me. So right now my time there still closed) Fingers crossed
Ok so just got of the phone with Samsung. Acording to them and the information they have in their office Froyo 2.2 IS OUT but because theres a problem with the site we don't can't download it yet lol Samsung needs to really get an Fing clue.
I'm pretty sure you need to install that with Kies Mini if it is, indeed, available.

Nothing showing up on Kies Mini eather. So again am hoping that things will start rolling out as soon as they open at 9 central time.
I saw another post at AT&T official forum about multiple Samsung reps claim the 2.2 for Froyo is avialable and directed to the same link. Looks like Samsung already trained or released information about Captivate 2.2 release internally, a bit prematurally. So, it seems our UCKB1 ROM will be the official ROM after all. It is just waiting for AT&T to give the final nod.
<--- not holding his breath... Plus, the more I think about it, at this point... What's the point? I mean, 2.2 is rapidly aging and I'm not aware of any newly released devices coming out with 2.1 anymore - They've all got 2.2, which means that 2.3 is the next step.... and with the excellent development we already have, running stable 2.2 is already a reality! I want the update just so the companies are held to their promises, but as for an official 2.2; I'm not going back to ATT bloatware and half ass GPS.
Tried OTA update and it just hung......
I tired to go into media hub yesterday just to see if i missed it being fixed and it hung on checking for update. Checked phone for OTA and it also hung on checking for update. funny thing is about 4 days ago everything was working just fine. Im about to get on the phone with ATT and ***** about the email and when samsung opens and nothing happenes today will be on the phone *****ing about sending false emails to people.
So basically Samsung has just changed the lies from "It will be out soon" to "It's out now but you can't have it"! Way to go Samsung!
UCKB1 has a working media hub. If I were you I'd just install that. It'll probably end up being the official build anyhow.
Bunch of crap Samsung is. wow.....
Just got done talking to live support. what a joke. i have a dam email saying it's out. if you call and talk to someone they say all the info they have says it's out but live says its not and gives you the say crap as before about no info right now. Someone over there needs to get their head out of their ass and get a CLUE.

LG confirms update is coming for G2X, stops reboots/freezes - also Gingerbread...

Probably the single most informative thread I've read about this phone ever.
http://www.lgforum.com/forum/boards...-issues-where-is-our-update-in-the-us-for-g2x
Look at the responses from the LG Pro guy and the Moderator. They outright confirm there's an update that fixes the issue - one guy already has it on his phone and it's stable. Then the other guy says Gingerbread build is almost done so they were going to wait to release update and bundle with Gingerbread. All in all, it's a total clusterf*ck BUT...BUT at least they are giving information. Most companies wouldn't have said anything.
Now that I know this, I am more willing to deal with any reboots/issues - let's hope we don't wait long. The post says maybe 2 weeks.
My local T-Mobile reps say the software update is supposed to come out end of summer...
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
I wouldnt fully trust what they say on those forums. If they do roll out a fix soon, it probably wont include gingerbread. Gingerbread will probably be rolled out closer to mid summer according to my sources. I guess that LGs and Tmobiles meaning of soon doesnt mean anything. I just try to keep my mind off of this issue but but its difficult to do that when the phone freezes and reboots. LCD bleed I can handle.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Let's be frank, the T-Mobile reps are unknowledgeable at best and flat out misleading at worst. I want to preface this by saying I've had absolutely no problems with my G2X and it's from early March. This includes no battery-drain issues (battery lasts around 20 hours with moderate use, which is fine with me), no GPS issues, no random freezes or reboots, and only minor light bleeding that doesn't bother me. I love this phone.
That being said, at least half of the people that bought this phone are having issues. If it's really going to be the end of Summer, T-Mobile really screwed the pooch here—and it is T-Mobile's fault, not LG's. Let me state this again, if you're pissed off at the G2X, complain to T-Mobile. The above thread outlines very clearly that LG knows there's an issue, has fixed the issue, and is being held from releasing said fix by T-Mobile trying to strategize a release date.
It's really obnoxious that people complain about LG being to blame for everything, when very likely T-Mobile rushed them into releasing a phone before they could iron all of the software bugs out just so they could claim to be the first carrier with a dual-core phone and is now holding up the release of very critical fixes.
That being said, if you're having issues with your G2X, instead of coming to xda-developers and complaining about it, hop on Twitter and let T-Mobile know you're pissed. Don't just threaten to bring the phone back: link to the LG thread and demand to know why they're preventing LG from releasing the patch. Even if you hate the phone and intend on returning it, there is clearly an issue with T-Mobile delaying the release of updates the phone manufacturers have ready and it's something they need to be told is unacceptable.
I've posted on T-mobile's Twitter about how the fix is available, but T-mobile refuses to release the patch. Lets spread the word and Hammer their twitter page with that information.

T-mobile rep here
you have a great point, it was most likely T-Mobile (NOT the reps) that rushed the release of it but does not mean LG isnt completely innocent either. So please if you do want to vent/complain about the phone do so by contacting "T-mobile" directly and not taking it out on the reps. As far as labeling the reps "unknowledgeable at best and flat out misleading at worst" does not go for ALL reps. I know im not the typical rep but i started out with smartphones a few years back with the Cingular 8525, flashing roms for a couple years now, I follow all the tech blogs and majoring in Electronics Engineering, currently in my senior year. In other words, I know my stuff. t-mobile tries their best to train us on most subjects but of course we are not Cellular phone engineers at the end of the day. Last time i checked my tittle was RETAIL SALES associates. so if you need help with buying the phone and some info/differences about the phone, that is why we are here. We dont have a direct communication line with the manufactures, so i dont know why people expect us to have all the answers. not trying to bash anyone just thought the reps should have a small voice in the matter
/rant
Would you believe it.... I turned my Nexus One on to get it ready to sell it...and I just got and installed the ota for Gingerbread 2.3.4 LOL now if only for my G2x.....
I think both Tmobile and LG are at fault for releasing a really buggy phone; hardware and software. Also, the only phones you can count on for getting updated are the Nexus phones. However, im happy with my G2x and coming from the more stable G2, i still enjoy using my G2x more. I have faith that several of the software issues will get fixed eventually. If not, give the cyanogen folks some time and im sure they will cook up a stable rom before the official gingerbread arrives.
You all say blame tmo for pushing lg, but lg released the O2x and it also has the same basic issues right and that was released prior to the G2x.

The biggest problem no one has pointed out....
This is basically confirmed to be a hardware/software issue, and it does basically affect all G2X phones one way or another. So how on earth are these issues never brought up in "professional" reviews. So this brings two disturbing facts. Tmo/LG cherry picked working phones for the reviewers and packed the failing phones in boxes for customers, or the reviewers were shills or they were lazy turned on the phone, saw it was basically a super-powered Nexus-ish phone, ran a couple Tegra games and just went by the specs for the review and never actually tested the phone. No matter what the case, it's disturbing. I'm on my 3rd g2x, and miss the stability of my Nexus One (I still have it, but really want the G2X to run at LEAST as well as my Nexus One.
Hell when I got this I was hoping to have a smooth experience with Live Wallpapers, but it was just slightly less "jerky" then on the Nexus One...I was sad...
This is the most stable phone I've had and I've had many...
No reboot issues here, and I've had 3 different ones.. Phone never freezes, slows, reboots, lags etc....
Sorry you all are having bad experiences, but every phone forum has complaints and people claiming the phone is plagued with bugs..
Well, not me and I have had it since release....
I'm calling user error lol j/k but damn if yall just had my 3 different ones you would be in love..

I had reboots and was forced to do a factory reset 5 times until I started to flash nightlies. Now I get no reboots at all, though the battery issue is still unresolved...and I can't use wifi.
Robbing Peter to pay Paul, it appears.
I would have to say that my unit has been amazing. I traded my nexus s for this current unit and I have flashed TW B2 rom before then and after no freezing, reboots, and it has light LDC bleed. The LCD thing dose not bother me and I can only expect the best for this device!

Why is the G2x still out of stock on T-Mobile.com?

It's time for T-Mobile and LG to come clean on why the G2x is still “temporarily” out of stock on T-Mobile’s website.
We first heard from readers on May 20th that the G2x was pulled from T-Mobile.com, though existing customers were still able to upgrade to the device. We ran our original story on May 25th with a rumor that the G2x may have been pulled for quality control issues, issues several of you reported experiencing, lending some plausibility to the rumor.
T-Mobile quickly caught wind of our and other stories on the G2x, and quickly attempted, via Twitter, to squash those rumors with an official statement, which was confirmed to Android and Me by a T-Mobile insider.
The T-Mobile G2x with Google has been a highly popular device with both customers and employees since its launch last month, and high demand has resulted in inventory constraints, which we are working with LG to address.

It’s been nearly a full month since the G2x was initially taken down from Tmobile.com, leading us to believe our initial reports that the G2x was pulled for reasons other than a stock shortage. Could it really take LG this long to manufacture enough devices to replenish T-Mobile’s supply?
The Rumors
We’ve reached out to numerous T-Mobile and LG insiders for comment, and have received three different potential reasons for why the G2x is still unavailable:
The reason the G2x is out of stock is simply a supply issue.
T-Mobile is unwilling to put the G2x back on the market until LG is able to push out an update to resolve the various quality issues that have plagued the G2x since launch.
T-Mobile is unwilling to put the G2x back on the market until LG has completed the expected Gingerbread update.
One Android Insider’s Take on the Rumors
At this point, it’s been almost a month since the G2x was taken off the market, leaving it highly unlikely that it is truly out of stock. I don’t think we’ve ever seen a supply shortage take this long to be resolved.
Similarly, if the G2x was pulled because T-Mobile is waiting for LG to put the finishing touches on the Gingerbread update, this would be the first time a carrier has pulled a phone off the market until it received an Android OS version update.
This leaves us with the most plausible of the rumors; that the G2x was pulled for quality control issues, which we suggested back at the end of May. In our book, this is the most likely of the given rumors, though without official word from T-Mo or LG, it’s anybody’s guess at this point.
Final Word
T-Mobile and LG have been way too quiet on this issue for our liking, and Android and Me feels it’s time for them to come clean as to why this device was pulled in the first place. I think the community will be much more willing to accept the move if they would just come clean rather than continue to harp on about supply shortages.
What say you, readers? Why do you think the G2x was pulled? Should LG and T-Mobile come clean on this?

yea i agree bro, but bad effin move on their part for real......and the g2x might be gone from tmobiles website but its in every store i seen tmobile corp stores, there kiosks in the mall , walmart,....maybe they didnt run out yet??? idk
Something else to think about, there's been no supply constraints with the O2X and its the same phone with different software.

I went to a big TMO store here in Los Angeles today and they had no G2x's in stock and said they didn't have an ETA on new ones.

LG should have just offered one universal software version. It's tough enough troubleshooting one let alone two different setups.
