I read that the UK got an official Froyo release today, but haven't seen anything on this end of the pond.

Engadget said that the epic galaxy s might get it by the 26th but idk what that means for us Captivate users.

will do, yeh i dont wanna get too excitied for a let down but, i mainly wanted to see if anyone else was gettin this ATM

I got a txt from att that there was an update for my phone available

I don't mean to come off rude, but there have been several dozen posts about this. It is just the updated version of Eclair (JH7).

Another circle jerk?

well almost 2 1/2 hours later i got the error message facepalm, but why the super long delay... maybe the update is coming soon idk...
MODS feel free to close, this is USELESS
SORRY!!!

I talked to an at&t rep the other day and confirmed our update to froyo will not be until after 1 January. But this was also just a rep not an insider or anything special.

If you want updates, buy a Nexus S. The Captivate won't be getting froyo until long after it's relevant.

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.

merry xmas everyone,
so theres not even a stable release of froyo for rooted phones?
also, do you think at&t might bosh froyo and give us gingerbread?

Official update to 2.3 by years end.

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).

That's the leaked build, but not the leaked source. that's where the SGS4g has been getting GB for the past month+. The source would have to come from samsung.

and then we trust we will have a new rom >: ) ?? or just a bare bones version

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 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.

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.

When we finally get ICS for our skyrockets..

So seeing how We are still waiting on official ICS for our phones, could this be a blessing in disguise? is it possible we may get the new Touchwiz from the GSIII officially in ICS for GS2 Skyrockets?
I really like the new touchwiz and really hope we get it. i have used holo launcher and think its the best reproduction ICS themed launcher but for some reason i keep going back to touchwiz and absolutely love the new one and am hoping it comes to us officially.

While it's possible, I don't know that it's probable.
What is more probable is that AT&T will keep the new improvements for the new phone. There may be some updates, but we probably won't be getting all of the new bells and whistles.
If you want more of the newer stuff, look into one of the ROMs out there that have most of those improvements.

you guys are probably right.
I have flashed other roms like SKY ICS but that rom is way too cumbersome and has too many steps and builds. Base this, update that. wipe 3 times on everything and flash only bits from your SD card or you dont have sound etc. everything has to be done in 3 or 4 pieces. just really cumbersome just to get the new touchwiz bits. when you finally get it all updated and everything working then next day an update comes out again you flash that update which is supposed to be all good and you lose all your sounds again ugh.
tried the AOKP roms as well as the new chimara rom that has the current bug of dont let your phone die because the USB port isnt active with a dead battery so you cant charge WTF)
So now i'm back on the latest UCLE Leak build throwing on holo launcher and will just be patient for the ICS leak or another stable less cumbersome New touchwiz themed rom.

I cleaned. Will keep in General please no trolling or flaming

Actually, I just checked for updates on my ATT Skyrocket and it says an update is available, but the servers are currently busy. Can someone verify this?

Dont know if that is posible since DesignGears has released information that another leak will be coming out this week !!! So I would doubt very much that our AT&T Skyrockets are receiving ICS just yet.
As for the new GSIII TouchWiz .. anything at this time is possible .. since the 3 leaks we have received so far from DesignGears .. we went from ICS 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 .. so it would be very interesting to see what changes have been made for the upcoming I727UCLF5.

...I'll already be running jelly bean on the next Nexus device.
Oh, sorry-- thought this was one of those 'complete this sentence' problems.

I just checked and it's also saying there's an update available but the servers are busy. I'm already on 2.3.6

Go get some of Seanz ROM based on the official Rogers ICS. It is fast and when coupled with the Mohan kernel even the touch key lights work. Sean may not even mess (I just read his post) with the ATT official because of too much bloat.
This thing is superfast, it downloaded and installed all of my previously installed apps without any user intervention. Facial recog works etc.
This ROM is perfect for me as it is (assuming btooth and wifi is ok which I couldn't test at work)
Assuming these last two things work I won't even download the offical ATT...

So close...yet so far. We are better off custom roms which is in a way more advanced than stocks.
Sent from my SGSII Skyrocket running CM9 using Tapatalk 2

I have to agree rogers would be better for a build. ATT roms are always 150mg larger because of the BS they do with it. Rogers will always be a little better. And they are really the exact same besides the bloat and modem.

Sky ICS based on the Rogers build works great! I personally prefer the CM9 builds, Rogers modem, and Instigator X kernel. There are plenty of options for Skyrocket users without having to worry about an official AT&T build - which is surely to be bloated to death anyway.

Running SKY ICS 4.3f here, thing is smooooth. Was with 4.3E up until today. With a ROM this good, who would want to go stock?

Please let us know how the battery life is with SKY ICS

If you are worried about bloat, why not just freeze it? Its something that YOU would have to do yourself but still. And its fairly easy.

Looks like S2 users have to wait a bit..

Maybe they are putting i777 on hold so they can release i777 and i727 at the same time to reduce the whining.

Here is an actual quote from AT&T PR as to what is going on withthe SGS II AT&T ICS update.
We plan for the upgrade to Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) for Galaxy S II customers to be live very soon. Like with every OS update, we test it on our servers before we roll it out to customers. We’re in the process of doing that with Android 4.0 (ICS) for Galaxy S II customers and hope to make that live soon. We recommend customers wait to attempt the update.
