OTA GG? - T-Mobile LG G2x

Update coming in the next week per androidandme! Use this information at your own risk. Could just be a rumor

Sweet. Although mine is working just fine on froyo. If they could only modify the androids to turn on for the alarm....

Oh man this better be right. They did say "by summer" so it should be out sometimes this month.

Hope
I just hope they have some fixes in there and it isn't just gingerbread.

It's rumored. Don't post it as fact.

Well..I learned a long time ago never to rush things..and getting a new update is factored in with that. I'll wait and see what changes (good or bad) AT&T has added to this before I flash it..If they can make it so our phones are completely locked I am sure they will try..I might root mine before hand and then back up what I have already..and then just play the wait and see game..

Meh I already have it....and I will wait for a developer to mod the "official" release. no way will I load A Samsung/ATT release...They could disable a lot things that keep the device flash able.

+1 to that, screw the bloat-ware updates that will just mess more things up than were fixed. Been running dev roms since day 2 on this phone and I won't ever go back to service provider/manufacturer provided crap again. And Froyo does kick *ss on Eclair.

"official" I get. Since "official" has already been cooked a ton of times, why even mention it in a thread about an official release? And why mention "Meh I already have it"? Guess all those writing classes I took were wasted. I need to not be so darned literal when I read something around here...

^This!!!
I think everyone who has read this understands what he was saying. as in i have 2.2 right now so he can wait till someone mods the official release when its released, not that difficult.
true, i just rooted and working on uploadingthe froyo rom let's see how that goes!
Like I said too..I'll wait and see if anything is disabled or locked down..If it isn't..then I'll load it and run it and benchmark it and wait patiently till this is done for 2.2 and our Captivate..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821397..Nothing wrong IMHO with the way mines running right now..and giving it a week or so to see if there are any issues crop up isn't no big deal to me..

"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 the picture shows this is still for the I9000.
Just release the source code all ready and let DG do his magic!
ATT releases scary!

I feel the same way. With the differences between the stock and the 2.1 rom's I've used, I can't believe ATT sent this phone out as it was.
Course, the Captivate has been nothing but problems for me since day one. (Lines in the OLED and they refused to take it back, speaker failure, laggy, etc.)
The unofficial roms have helped, (particulaly the 1.2 GHz OC'd one from September, and the EXT4 lagfix.) I'm holding out for the official 2.2's and hoping they will fix things, but I'm very concerned about what all ATT will do with them.
If it fixes my VPN issue (I can't get any 2.x version to work with our Cisco VPN's) I'll probably at least try stock 2.2.
When is the official relese for Captivate? Early 2011?

With the Captivate's problem list a mile long, this Froyo update better be a miracle-worker.
Anyone else notice the picture in that article says "November, 2011"? 2011, not 2010... lol.
Only 375 days to go until Froyo 2.2! Whoooooohooooo!
Yeah I'll stick with Cognition and not hold my breath.
Wait im confused Haha, is it this year and they accidentally put 2011 or what?

Honestly I'm hoping that we have the 2.3 ASOP rom before then. Let's cross our fingers.
yay!

Damn US Cellular, seriously? March? Wtf
Except how great will it be if the AOSP community can get the 2.3 GUI running on the Galaxy S devices before USCC even pushes 2.2! That'll be a slap in the face in it's own regard..
Once that happens it won't matter because we'll be able to port any existing ROMs and CyanogenMod will follow soon after.

About the best option available right now! (=
so how long till we get a leaked version so we can flash it?
Pretty ridiculous. They'd update the Acclaim and the Desire in the coming week/weeks...and leave the Mesmerize for March... I'm skipping any OTA's from USCC at this point. I'd rather wait for xda community than USCC.
http://www.facebook.com/USCellular/posts/173189566049534 - the facebook page with the info (with a lot of mad ppl)
It's easy to hate USCC but you have to remember thay they've, untill recently with their new belief project, really been primarily a business company. It didn't matter to them that they had older phones or whatever as long as they could make sure that the services they were providing were reliable on a business level. Still annoying though d= but I think they're getting better.. at least we're getting the update..
am I the only one not really bothered by the release date? I got the PnP running with voodoo and it's working pretty well for me. I cant imagine it could get that much faster. 2.2 is supposed to be pretty fast but I'm not at all disappointed with the performance right now.

Native Gingerbread should be coming soon seeing as the Thunderbolt will be receiving it before the end of June. Hopefully we can get that so we can see alot more custom ROM builds being made.

Ya I heard the TB was getting it June 30th so I would assume roughly a month later for the Charge but I also heard that they were going to just skip giving the Charge GB and go straight to ICS, that's one thing I hate about these cell phone companies, they never give us definite release dates on anything, it's always leak this, rumor that...
Where'd you hear that the Charge would be getting ICS straight from Froyo? It'd be great to get it soon, but I doubt this will be the first phone to get it by any means, and I'm sure they'll have Gingerbread ready before ICS comes out.
Anyway, this is awesome. I knew Samsung was working on Gingerbread, and its already out for the other SGS phones, so it can't be that long. But I'm wondering if TBH got it on there themselves, or if they were able to procure a pre-release build leak. I'm thinking the latter because of the apparently stock ROM otherwise, but then again maybe that was the most stable way to do it.
Its from P3Droid and Team Black Hat, so for those saying its fake, its not. This is great though, apparently that thread worked and they're showing some real interest in this device. With Gingerbread right around the corner, it'd be great to have CM7 to look forward to! Can't wait to see this get out in some build we can use...

Nononono I was reading somewhere, I think it was an Android Forum, they were talking about the Charge not getting Gingerbread and just going Froyo > Icecream, I'm not saying it was going to get it first I meant it wouldn't be getting Gingerbread, it's not confirmed information at all but Gingerbread isn't confirmed either so that's why I'm a bit skeptical
I can't wait to get Netflix to work.
Anyone get Netflix to work on 2.2.1 EE4?
I have read several forums where people have been told by Verizon and/or Samsung reps. that they are not working on gb for the Charge and that they plan to just skip to ICS...although this info is probably coming from some tech support guy in India who can hardly speak English so who knows. I'm just happy to see that SOMEONE is working on getting this thing up-to-date, even if it isn't the corporations that should have released it with 2.3 in the first place...
Well we have a gb leak so they must have been working on it.

Wrong it is in fact and actual GB build for the Charge. I did not see that actual device in the video but I have in fact seen the file and watched it be flashed to a Charge. Its coming just a matter of when the release hits. Word I've gotten is hopefully around Aug time frame.

Completely inaccurate. ICS is not even going to be ready for til 4th Qtr to start with. And as for GB it will for sure be coming to the Charge and in the not to distant future like I just stated.
Not sure why anyone would think that the release of Gingerbread on the Charge will somehow fall into some kind of lockstep timing schedule (30 days after) with the Thunderbolt, when the Thunderbolt is an HTC device and the Charge is Samsung. Two different companies, two different set of internal developers, two different business models etc, etc.
We might get GB next week, or next year, or never, I don't know, but I do know that the release of GB on the TB has nothing to do with the release of GB on the Charge.
Sad that GB is over a year old now, and we're still getting Froyo on the "top of the line" devices and still stressing over when, if ever, we'll get it on three month old devices.
I doubt that any vendors besides the one creating the next Nexus phone has ics. It's nearly half a year away from announcement. Anyways, P3Droid is completely legit. He released gingerbread for the fascinate last week. He ran a video much like that one and people said that he was running froyo and being skeptical. I was running that gb build on my fascinate until I broke it and purchased a charge. If he says he has it, he has it. He apparently has a leaker and I thank God that he does.

Glad to see the Fascinate finally got a real GB. Took Sammy many many months to even give us Froyo which we had a working copy of in January.
I am wondering when we will get a leaked version of this?

You mean 6-8 months old, nowhere near "over a year" old yet. It came out around November-December of 2010, or 6-7 months ago. No need to over exagerate.

Explain. IRC?
The Charge had a GB leak. That is how TBH got a hold of it. I'm thinking other Devs could possibly get a hold of this leak if you know where to look....
But anyway, When I had my DX, TBH was the first to publish a ROM with the leaked GB kernel. They know what they are doing for sure.
I recommend following P3Droid on Twitter. He ususally drops info on a daily basis that I find very interesting. He mentioned weeks ago running netflix on the Charge via Twitter.

Gingerbread release

Anyone have a date for gingerbread release for droid charge?
droid charge
You will not find anyone on here with a definitive release date. We just got our first leak of gingerbread a few days ago. I would put my money on August-September, but who knows. Why wait? Just flash the rom today!
Yeah, we just got the first leak, but it is not yet that stable or usable daily for many people. I would expect we'll get the official version some time in the next month, though they may make us wait a little longer if they have any issues. I would expect a stable working build from our awesome devs a bit sooner, as they'll be stripping out most of the bloatware, that tends to delay development. No way to put a timeline on that, as the devs have other lives and real jobs, haha, and we don't know how difficult the remaining bugs are to overcome.
Just try the stable Froyo roms out now and see which you like best and stick with that until you hear something more. Check here as often as you like, as we'll most likely hear about a stable release (from the devs or official) before anywhere else (cept maybe rootzwiki...).
Or just flash the leak and deal with the issues if you're feeling adventurous and don't need a reliable phone for the next few days.
Thanks cruise?!
droid charge
Stable
Very stable. Running for 2 days with no problems at all. Netflix also works but HDMI does not so far, other than that, its awesome GB2.
add all the mods and it takes care of a lot of the problems people were complaining about.

you know...the Gingerbread Leak from the other day is far from a fine tuned build... I flashed it the day it hit the TBH app, and had a terrible time with radio connectivity and battery life...

No upgrade to gingerbread

Finally got annoyed and called VZ today about the D2G and asked about upgrade plans or timeline for gingerbread and was told they "had no plans or timeline for upgrading the droid 2 global to gingerbread."
I know the reps aren't always the best source of knowledge, but that seems to be a different story than other people have gotten, especially in the vz forums. If someone else wants to call and confirm, that'd probably be great.
Whats the hurry for GB??? everything it had now works on Froyo, and after all the bugs the DX had i dont care when it comes out.. I have netflix and hulu+ so im good lol.... But the last news i heard was sometime after the D3, since it was running GB... so I'd expect it to be in Sept/Oct....
Well, GB supposedly brings better battery life - I get maybe 8-10 hours of normal use out of my phone, and I want that to be longer. Second, the droid 3 has been out since mid-July.
Also, If the D2G hits end-of-life before the gingerbread update is released, it will probably never get it.

Supposedly the D2G went EOL this month, and if not this month, I'd be willing to bet next month for sure. Moto did promise gingerbread for all these phones by the end of Q3, which is the end of september though, so who knows.
