Just got off the phone with magenta about my wifes phone.
while on there I asked the tech agent if she had heard anything about an update to gingerbread for sidekick 4g. she confirmed that an UPDATE TO GINGERBREAD IS IN THE WORKS! and they are hoping to have it out by the end of the year.
made me happy, just wanted to let you guys know.

is this a joke or are u serious ?
No joke. I asked if it would be getting a 2.3 update and she said they are trying to make it so that by the end of the year all major (and sk4g is considered major) android phones will be on gingerbread. she specifically said sidekick will get 2.3 and I quote "There is no date yet, but they are trying to get it by the end of the year"
Of course, you have to keep in mind that I am taking someone elses word for it. albiet, it is someone "on the inside"
In the works is very different from saying "by year's end." Samsung makes builds and sends them to Tmo, but they never make it out to the end-user until they approve it. It's very likely that the sidekick will be one of the last of the "new" phones to get GB, as they have to add much more to our UI than just porting it to fit our processor, but also need to add the social parts of our phone (whether we want them or not).
P.S. GB has been "in the works" since the phone was released, it's all a matter of getting Tmo and Samsung to agree on what constitues a good/ releasable build.
I have the strange feeling that our sk4g won't ever get gingerbread officially t-mobile has a funny way of coming out with new devices rather than updating the original ones :-/ I forsee a new sidekick with gingerbread official coming out rather than us getting an official build. Don't quote me on it or anything its pure speculation but if I'm right give me some props or something lol
Not to say we won't find a way of porting the "new sk gingerbread" to th sk4g but I have a feeling the new device is more likely hell they may even release gingerbread for us and the new sk at the same time lol
The moral of this story is: personal opinions are fun. Aren't they? Lol

I think we're better off waiting for ICS.
long wait...
For those counting, as soon as the GB source for the SGS4G gets released I can port their GB system to our phone, their ROMs/Kernels boot on our phones, they just don't have the drivers to do anything (like display what's going on).
The SGS4G has been getting leaked versions of GB for a month+ now, so the official GB release should be soon (hopefully).

I spoke with someone that works for Tmobile and was told Tmo and samsung have been working on GB for the sidekick for more than 3 months and im guessing its taking that long cause they are trying to make it very similar to our Froyo interface, unfortunately (along with the Tmo crap). Otherwise they wouldve gave us a GB ROM similar to the SGS4G. He said he doesnt know when it'll officially be rolling out but we should have it before thanksgiving (end of november). Thats pretty far to me.. but then again i have a vibrant and still never got an official GB release so take this info with a grain of salt. as the rest of us i sure hope its comes soon. Better late than never.
I too got a vibrant and a sidekick... Will continue to hope one of them will update!

I wouldn't count on it! Samsung and att completely dropped the ball on froyo. We might have a stable gingerbread rom before we see an official froyo. At this point if your even a casual xda member, there is no reason why you shouldn't be running one of the froyo roms in the dev forum. There are a handful of roms that will give you froyo with really very minor bugs if any!

All captivate froyo roms have issues because we have no captivate froyo source code. The roms are based on the old froyo cap beta releases or vibrant or i9000 froyo code. Until we see an official captivate release the cooked roms will have issues. I have not found a good one yet.
The i9000 roms carryover functions are phone doesn't have and the beta froyo based captivate roms suck battery and tend to have BT and modem issues.
I am still waiting for official froyo so we can get some solid cooked roms.

The leaked version is H O R R I B L E.
I encountered a lot of crashes and reboots during 2 days of test (I even never encounter ONE SINGLE reboot with V10f) and I have to go back to original V10f. Moreover, the kernel IS NOT CHANGED, so NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER expect the leaked version fix any problem.
The 4G icon looks E X T R E M E L Y U G L Y and I can't believe why T-Mobile/LG put such icon there. The signal bar doesn't turn green when internet is ready like NS.
Many of paid apps don't appear on market (including slingplayer).
Streamfurious is still NOT compatible with leaked version.
Dead internet browser (including Skyfire and default one).
Dead email client.
Leave leaked version for developers to work these junk out.
Yea just curious if anyone had heard anything more about the ota. I've not been able to find anything since the original blurb. Gave us a nugget and then poof. I refuse to use leaked versions after all the leaked versions reeked havoc on the captivates and vibrants. Just seeking if peeps might have found anything.

Well of course the leak version wouldnt be stable. Its not even the final version of gb. So u can't expect it to work right outta the box. We just have to be patient and wait for the official release which I guess is around the corner cuz we just got the leak.

Where is the 2.3 update??? Probably the same place as your patience
Also the 2.3 leak has been pretty stable for me.. I'm running Eagle Blood which is based off the leak.. I'm really a CM guy but CM 7 is just not as stable right now as Eagle Blood has been for me
^thought the same thing with galaxy s leaks and they were months away. That's the scary part to all of this. I was highly disappointed to find it came with 2.2 but liked it enough to buy anyhow on the promise of an almost immediate update.

screw patience
we have been patient. i was told that this phone would have an updated right after release. not a month later, but within days. that's what customer service told me, the t-mobile sales rep, and what about that who bull that it's "coming sooner than youd expect" or "its right the corner" or even "wait won't be long" and "coming soon!" all this quotes from t-mobile. Gingerbread was announced to be coming to this phone long before it the phone came out. i personally had the impression it would be on the phone already and the ONLY reason i was ok with purchasing a Froyo phone after having to deal with my Vibrant SGS for 10 months with only 1 update 6 months after froyo was released for everyone else, 8 months almost for vibrant. i'm done being patient. i expect more from a $500-$600 phone (most advanced phone when it was released). I have patients but there are limits. that "sooner than youd think line" has been said for weeks. and i know many many people feel the same way.
i personally think this could be another intentional put off by t-mobile to build up sensation release or other gingerbread stock phones being annouced/released like froyo was for vibrant (until a rep came out and leaked that it was being held off for the 4g vibrant release, then it was released within a week after it took half a year). this is a Google phone, which is why i purchased it so i would get updates fast like the other google devices have. and this phone needs it's updated for fixes ASAP before the SGS 2 is officially released or the Sensation, and then people will just move on. just my personal feelings. take this post however.
If there is one thing I've learned since being one of the first to have an Android phone is that no manufacturer, carrier, or even Google will promise a "date" for software updates. The availability of an update is announced when the update is available. Would you rather have something that is half-baked? Maybe that is why the GB build was leaked....to appease the whiners until it is really ready. I mean really, hasn't it been a month since the phone's been released? Perhaps the g2x (o2x) was rushed out the door with only 2.2 to be the first tegra2, but i would rather get it with 2.2 on it now than wait for it to have 2.3 to be released.
Even Cyanogen has said this, LOL, and I paraphrase: "It will be ready when it's ready. Now quit asking about release dates."

That's what she said
Learn how to root, learn how to flash... BOOM gingerbread. The newest nightly of CM7 (build 17) is pretty dang stable to me. It has less bugs than the stock ROM I believe. I never trust a word carriers say. Notice how much they said GB would be available right after release. They want to buy the phone with high expectations and then once their numbers are high enough, take their time. Its what always happens. SGS promissed froyo "soon" after release and it took many many many months (6-8?). Cyanogen however has always had either reasonable releases or sometimes faster than expected releases. I personally bought this phone with every intention of rooting and hacking the first day I bought it. To me thats the main advantage of buying a google experience phone.
After the botched leaks and roms that came with the sgs 's ill be leaving this phone stock with root until the official release comes. The thread wasn't a debate. Simply a question. Did some digging on my own and found nothing. Doesn't hurt to ask if others heard something else. We have many people on this site who work for companies that do have privy info.
So again just a question not a discussion carry on.

The leak was out a while ago right?
So how long would it take them to release the official gingerbread OTA or via kies???
Another month? or most likely more?
Probably not for a while. I'm guessing somewhere around Janurary or Feburary.
I think KH1 or one of the others was an update through Kies but Samsung removed it.
Hopefully they'll release an official release before they release Hercules.
For now ICINB or Valhalla are 2 good Gingerbread ROMs. Even the stock KH2 is good. I'm currently on Valhalla.

Personally u just gave up on Tmobile GB official release. They really only care about money. Soft ware support for their devices is all the way in the bottom of their priority list unless it bring in direct cash income.

Why would tmobile want this gb leaks to their customers?They are holding up because these samsung gb are kinda pathetic to release to the masses..bluetooth issues,low wifi signal when your only like inches away etcc..if they release gb like this you"ll have many customers calling tmobile about issues left and right.unless samsung figures out a really good gb release of THEIR OWN device its not coming out!..dev s make gb good on this phone
Ohh and lets not forget sg2 is around the corner,samsung might just screw us over or the people who are waiting on GB! Tmobile in general are idiots but on this ill agree with them releasing this would just bring them more trouble than good!
My bet is that if Hercules gets released before gb update then there will be no update. That will be Samsung and t mobiles flagship device. Their focus will be on that and ice cream for the newest phones.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
Yeah good point
BTW, Ice cream sandwich is designed to receive OTAs directly from google, instead of from the phone makers. So, ice cream sandwich will only work, if they remove the updater function or dump touchwiz. And I highly doubt that they will dump touchwiz, so that means Galaxy s will die with all their devices being stuck on GB(or leaks), and they are not doing any more nexus line phones. HTC or LG will be making nexus 3. Also, you said that they would focus on releasing ICS to the newer devices, I doubt that. GB was already long out when our phone was released on Froyo. And "50+%" chance that GB will never officially come to our phones. So what makes you think that they will update to ICS. They will probably give out buggy leaks and die there.
Phone release on eclair or froyo from Sammy, will stay on Froyo.
Phone release on GB from Sammy, will stay on GB.
That is my point. Not to make anyone's hopes down. We will have a lot more fun with this phone, I guarantee that CM7 will "eventually" work and we will many more roms to come.
PS. I never liked Sammy. This was just the best phone when I bought it
im going to disagree that the sgs4g in your mind wont be getting ics as google plans to release it to all devices to unify and defragment the android os.. remember samsung makes the hardware and some of the applicatons that go in the phone they how ever do not make the os. t mobile att verizon orange vodaphone will submit to google the stuff they want in there rom (the bloatware we remove ) Once approved that there features do not break the os (this is why they do test for the most part.) the carriers get there updates and wala so do u once they are pushed out as ota or keis
You have a great point. But touchwiz is created by samsung. Standardly, otas are pushed out as recovery edify flash able files with a META-INF, and a /system and etc folders. Samsung releases their kies otas that flash a bunch of rfs files. Samsung maintains their rfs file system and zImage kernel form. Android uses boot.imgs. So in order to use ICS, there will probably need to be an irreversible boot loader flash that will make the phone use boot.imgs instead of zImages. Possibly revert method would be flash old bls with CWM or stock androidbl
I find it disheartening that people are now guessing january or february for a gb release, when in july everyone was saying august or september.
I knew before purchasing this phone that Samsung sucks at updating firmware, but it truly seemed to have the best features at the time, and to be honest, (six months later) I'm glad I didn't wait for the S2. When does the Hercules come out btw?
Also, how long would it take a noob to load a custom rom/bootloader, and would it be possible with a mac?

Disheartening indeed. The longer they take to release it the longer we all have to wait for kernel sources to be release and they have up to 3 months I believe after the OTA release to release kernel source code. Until then we have no custom kernels for GB that support cool things like Voodoo for sound and BLN. Those two things not being available for GB though the former is thanks to RaverX3X, are the sole reasons why I still stick to froyo.

Of course, we'll mostly all be running some flavor of ICS the day after its available to the ROM developers

Yea. Its annoying. On one hand Google makes them promise to provide upgrades for 18 months from launch of a phone. Then the providers are allowed to sit around and do nothing.
I don't get alot of you. ICS will be on the Thunderbolt as soon as the devs have some time to port it over. Hell Im running GB on my old G1 and official developement stopped on that back at 1.6. If you are here more than likely you are running some sort of custom rom and will be able to upgrade to ICS. Most people that really care about the latest greatest software for their device are Rooting, flashing, and reflashing every couple of weeks to new builds. For those that say that the TB isn't a GB device the official GB rom released a long time ago. I wouldn't hold my breath on the official ICS builds but by god stop your *****ing about it. If its not already rooted with S-off get it done now. Root that ***** overclock and put some life back into that 8 month old device. If you really want to have the newest hardware you will be buying a new phone every 3 months. This was the first 4G LTE phone on Verizon and so far it has made me happy. I have been running CM7 on it since the early alpha days and by God I will run CM9 on it as soon as the alpha drops. I've never been scared to try new roms.

Verizon has no incentive to upgrade the software anyways, why would they? You already bought the device and they've your money
Root it. Customize it. Curb battery consumption. Get the latest for it. Been running gingerbread for like 3 months and this thing flies. ICS will be released in the sweetest of custom roms as soon as it officially drops so just hold tight. Verizon and Google will never update this ***** again, look what happened with the official gb? Released and pulled. They want their money and for you to update to fhe newest. They want you mad at them so you spend the outright cash. That's why i assume you're all a part of this amazing community. The customization and time that goes into cooking a rom is amazing and what can be ported and ran on these phones is insane. Ive come from the first Treos and every other god-awful windows mobile phone. Android is amazing and the developer community is very sharing. Make your phone the way you want it everyday so that you arent that retard *****ing about lag and freezes.
Donate and appreciate *****es.

Hey my fellow Infuse owners!! Just got done reading the article about ICS being ported to the SGS I9000! Dose this mean the Infuse stands a better chance of geting a rom or port?

Hopefully with a modified kernel (ala Hellraiser) we'll be able to run this one day. This is pretty good news.

I promise you we'll care more when at least a system dump from the Galaxy Nexus is out, but more like when the source is out. Have patience. Not much longer.
Just saw that a successful alpha of ICS has been ported to the SGS so I think we're getting closer and closer. Once a full working version is up and running on the SGS I really hope that one of our devs will port it!

No point in porting it. We can do it ourselves when we get the proper files (which require a system dump or source).
We'll be seeing some form of ICS long before AT&T ever releases gingerbread. What a joke.

Fine with me. I'd rather have modded ics than stock OR modded gingerbread...
I'm sure everyone would agree with that. And yes. Att is a joke.

Honestly in all due respect, I tried contacting several people from Samsung and tried to get answers to all my question's from those bone heads. I think Samsung is dragging their feet on Gingerbread, this has nothing to do with At&t at all. At&t was ready to give us some sort of GB release back in August, seems to me Samsung keeps holding back because all their newer phones are getting the most respect right now and not our already 1 penny Infuse.
Enough Said........

Exactly it. We are not going to get an official release from sammy, people should just get used to the fact cm7 and miui is the only chance for us and ics. Maybe someone can port it from the i9000 but that's just a maybe. CM7 lead the way lol.

Samsung is a complete joke. This is like a bad OS software. EX: Windows ME!, theirs nothing they can fix so they skipped it creating another phone next to this, Basically the only phone next to this would be the SkyRocket, Shares all aspects of our beloved Infuse, just upgraded hardware and better Support, plus they are getting ICS in the beginning of next year.
