Was told by tech support this morning that the official version of Android is now 2.3.4 as of today. Will we see anything actually released today or are they talking out of their rears??????
I was told 2 weeks ago that it was out and that my 2.2 phone was out of date and he asked me when I was going to upgrade, they have no clue
Currently Pinnacle 1.2 and have never been happier
Who's tech support? AT&T or Samsung?

Seems odd if it was being released today. Seems very out of the blue.
AT&T and Samsung's websites still say 2.2

I frankly wouldn't bother to even ask ATT/Samsung cause they always seem to have their heads up their ass when it comes to OS upgrades. I'd wait and be patient because the SamFirmware twitter said his "reliable source" told him we should be seeing 2.3.5 in the "near future". That was on their twitter feed a few weeks back.
I second that sam firmware seems to be the only source that isn't BS.

I haven't been tracking SamFirmware as close as I used too. Did they mention it for Galaxy S phones in general or did they specifically mention the Captivate? Let's remember that ATT has a track record of being behind the game when it comes to update releases.

Just checked Kies and it says i have the latest (2011.02.19 date)
Captivate 2.3.4
I was recently on chat with Samsung and they said they didn't know if or when it was coming out and they would rather give no info so as to not give incorrect info...how pc!
I know that "sit back and wait" is our only option, but i fear that by the time samsung's official GB build and source code will be released for the captivate, we won't have much devs willing to put time and effort into this.
I was told my replacement device was coming with 2.2 and it would have an insert on how to update it to 2.3.4. Sounds like a huge fish story to me now. I guess that they require every CSR has to BS the customer to make ATT sound better.

It's probably true to appease the pissed off SGS users. Their promise are way overdue. Fortunately, I found XDA, otherwise, I'd be one of those pissed off users now too. But this whole experience will make me think twice next time when thinking about another Samsung phone.

Samsung is not going to release Gingerbread. Mark my words. That is not how they do business. Need Gingerbread, buy a Galaxy S II, is going to be their motto.
Or Nexus S... or Nexus one...
We got our one update for this phone. Now it's up to the developers, if we ever get anything better.

It does matter wether they release it. A lot of the drivers are available in binary form only, as they are proprietary. Having Gingerbread compatible drivers available from Samsung can help withdeployment of CM7. IIRC, what slowed down CM 6.1 was the lack of Froyo drivers from Samsung.

Interestingly enough, I decided to do some snooping of my own. I started by chatting up a rep on verizonwireless.com and found out little helpful. The did make one statement that took me by surprise. I was hoping for a release date and expecting next to nothing. What I got was a surprised response from the rep that I should have already received the update. She verified with a friend/neighbor of hers there and she said he has a TB and it received the Gingerbread update a week ago. She advised me to try a local Verizon Wireless store.
I went to the store yesterday afternoon and they said that the Gingerbread updated for the Thunderbolt was released 3 weeks ago! I was very surprised at this news considering I hadn't heard it anywhere else. He went through the motions of checking for an update on the device (which I had already done) to no avail. The update, he said, is not available online. It has to be updated OTA. I was then advised to give it a little more time because they're staggering the updates but to call Google or HTC directly if I still didn't receive it in a few days to a week.
So, not wanting to wait another week just to be told to wait another week, I went ahead and called HTC. I got a support rep on the phone very easily. They actually have really nice technical support. I told the rep about my predicament. and he did a little checking in his system. Finally I got an actual date of release. According to his system, the update was released on May 18th. I asked again if he was referring to the Gingerbread update or the Froyo update and he said Gingerbread. Once again, I was told that the updates are being delivered in a staggered order so it's tough to say when I will actually get the update. He also verified that as of right now, the only way to get it is OTA. There is no update that can be downloaded from HTC's web site.
If anyone has any other information, please let me know.
The update that was released then was a fix it patch to Froyo.

I am looking into upgrading to the infuse, but I'm a bit leary at this point. What is the status of the GB ROMs? Is there a stable version at this point? Thanks and I apologize if this has been asked already.
A few if you look in the development section, and there will likely be more once GB is officially released to the infuse later this month(if you believe AT&T).

Infused v2 is quite stable - it's missing HDMI and the data speeds are a little wonky (It will likely remain this way until AT&T releases GB), but it's the daily driver for a lot of people.
CM7 is less stable - however it's the daily driver for a lot of people. Most of the known issues are pretty clearly spelled out.
nopcodex90 and h8rift have ROMs in progress. nop is doing final polish-up (he was going to release a beta but decided against it after seeing the Infused v2 threads go downhill), h8rift is waiting until after AT&T GB is released.
Thanks for the responses, I really appreciate it

The 2.3.5 leaks are pretty good but I get it. Lack of sources is a *****. Entropy fixed wifi on his kernel but no HDMI is annoying. I am on the fence with what to spend my time with. I might abandon simply honey as there are bug I have no hope of fixing and my even after disabling the battery full notification it still causes a bug where I need to reboot the phone to mount the SD after a full charge.
Its either work on that or work on ucki3/4 and I'm leaning towards ucki3 over simply honey right now.
Yeah it's a joke that official gingerbread isn't out yet. Guess we are really lucky to have the roms we do. Infused 1.6 is excellent. Will be sad when all the devs leave for gs2!!
