Froyo 2.2 avaible on Website Soon?

I happen to go through my google reader this morning and found an interesting article on Softpedia about Android 2.2 coming to Galaxy S in more markets. It is a very interesting read. Has anyone heard anymore info about this topic? The update will supposedly be available on the samsung website.

Here is the original post about the froyo update

I guess this topic is already being talked about in this thread

This update is not for the US market but for everyone else. I found this comment on the Galaxy S twitter page:
@imms0fat Hi Rich. Thx for that article. It refers to non-US phones. Samsung USA and TMO should release 2.2 by the end of the year.
So us US folks are left in the cold til years end

Samsung is the worst manufacturer ever

Samsung is a manufacturer which is having the most market shares currently.But, their customer aftermarket support is the worst.
As all of us know, the Galaxy line of devices are so successful today for having a sales of up to millions.The reason for this is from the start of the Galaxy S.It is their flagship phone in 2010, with a sales of about 20 million globally. Now, Samsung have made a decision not to upgrade the Galaxy S to the newset Android 4.0. Source: http://www.samsungtomorrow.com/2043

Is it a hardware issue?No, it is because they just don't want to upgrade it and wants people to buy their new phones so they can make more money.And even Sony Ericsson done soooo much better than them. They decided to upgrade their whole 2011 Xperia line of devices, even including the 150$ Xperia Mini.
Yes i know that the Galaxy S is an old device, which already exceeded the 18 months of software update. But well, what happens to its other brother? The Galaxy S Super Clear LCD i9003 which launched about the same time as the Galaxy S2, and the Galaxy S Plus which have not even exceeded 6 months,and the recently Galaxy W,what would happen to them?And also, the Galaxy S have so much similarities to the Nexus S, which had its Ice Cream Sandwich update about 1 week ago.
It is a BIG SHAME that Samsung would make this decision, as these devices are still in the 18 months software update timeline. Is the Google's Android Update Alliance dead? Most of us would probably say yes. If Samsung are not gonna rethink this and release the new update for the Galaxy S phones, I would be sure that this is my first and last Samsung phone ever.Samsung is just caring its sales of new devices and its money.My next phone would be only from Google, the Nexus line.
If anyone here would like to see when they paid a lot for their new flagship phone and got unsupported after one year you then you could continue doing the stupid act of supporting samsung.I think Google should be like microsoft, pushing updates themselves to the devices and not letting OEMs do the work, OEMs are all just about money, money and more money.
Anyone can feel free to write their own thoughts here.

IMHO - All manufacturers are the same - Good or Bad, Good and Bad, Bad and Good.
In my experience, if I encounter any issues with any manufacture that is bad, It's just my luck.

I don't understand what the big fuss is about. Simply wait for the developers on these forums to make a AOSP/Android 4.0 rom and you'll be fine. You'll get better support from these forums than any manufacturer could ever provide assuming you're using a phone with a significant development community which obviously the Galaxy S phones possesses. The way I see it my man you have a few simple options: Sit here and cry about it, wait for developers to cook up a rom, or develop your own.
I'd just sit back, relax, and suck it up for a little while longer and see what the brilliant developers can produce brotha.

I agree with OP. Can't say if they are the only one though, but surely one of the worst. As I always say, we are giving our money to the brands/manufacturers, not any devs

can you stop spamming every single forum with this non sense?

Samsung reviewing ICS for the SGS.

In spite of Samsung's best efforts to bury the news by reporting it a couple of days before Christmas, Friday's disclosure that the Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab won't get upgraded to Android 4.0 drew a lot of justified ire. Now the company seems to be backtracking like a champ, as reported by ajnews in Korea, by claiming that it will review the viability of updating those two devices in response to strong customer demand. While restating the difficulties of fitting its entire software footprint onto the Galaxy S and Tab's limited memory capacity, Samsung has been quoted as saying it'll investigate ways to try and make it work. We've reached out to Samsung for official comment on the matter and will update you as soon as we hear back.

I'm not holding my breath but at least Samsung says they're working on it.

There is already a thread on Samsung retiring the galaxy s1, i posted this exact same link in that thread this morning, another discussion isn't needed.

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 !!!."

I will be grateful for the repost of this topic in any topics on xda/social networks
Thanks All

[PETITION] Marshmallow Update for Galaxy Note 3

Hi. Everybody. I decided to create this petition because, even if Note 3 is a 3 years old device, I appreciate it very much. I think that many of you think this like me (and we are a lot of perople), so I create this. Please sign it!
https://www.change.org/p/samsung-samsung-please-include-note-3-for-android-marshmallow-update
I forgot to ask a thing before. If you go on your country's forum or something, please share there, so even people who don't follow xda can subscribe the petition.
Make Samsung know how we appreciate this amazing device all together!!

Done.
Let it be 100% cosmetically like Lollipop, i dont care, all we need is a Marshmallow base, so we can have fun with it.

Done.

done. Having gone back to the 3 after the 7 disaster it would be nice to see the 3 get the later OS release and updates. Still a great device and runs brilliantly for me

done

Shame on you samsung s5 already got marshmallow update but we didn't, the petition is signed.

Do these petitions have any real effect? I wouldn't mind supporting one if Samsung at least considers it. But if it's going to fall on their deaf ears, then there's no point in this.

Done, I really appreciate this idea.

Done, although I don't know what actual good will come of it. :-/

What other 2013 device has 3GB RAM? it took until 2015 for devices with similar specs as the Note 3. I cant see Samsung spending on any projects like this especially post note7 recall.

Done

Done

Done Sir, well good luck to us. And I hope Samsung finally realized that Note 3 is a beast piece of hardware.

Done!!! This is a good opportunity for Samsung to keep their customers loyal!!

Manual camera support as well

Keep it coming
Got 26 people signed in this petition,. Keep it sharing guys. On facebook groups, Hangouts and other social media platforms. :fingers-crossed:

Done.
To be honest, I don't care if samsung provide official update to MM since we already have wonderfull Marshmallow custom ROM ported by our great developers here in this forum.
But if samsung provide android 7 Nougat update, now that's a whole different story...

Done.

Signed petition.
Regards

The problem is their are multiple petitions for MM all consisting of a relatively small number .Might be a different story if those where a combined petition .
