who develop and responsible for the update? is it at&t or Samsung?
and for last, will i be able to install the updated Rom by Odin?

Shay

All these questions have been asked ad nauseum on these very forums... wouldn't want to inconveniance you with a search though so...
Yes.
Don't know.
Probably, but you'll likely have to flash it yourself.
Samsung will do the development, AT&T will probably deploy.

Thanks for your reply! It is also important to me.
I can trust the AT & T?..
I want to buy the device. Maybe they do not release an update?

Eventually. If you search the threads, there is a post about Froyo for Captivate in Spain (I think) for late October.
Anyway, I want them to make sure it's ok before they push out another update that bricks phones.

Thanks. So the update will come for sure? So probably I will buy.

Yeah but it will probably come for the I9000 Galaxy S phones first. It's a wait and see.

so one last question to be sure:
the captivate will get an update to android 2.2
the update is originally made to the i9000 and being modified by at&t?
am i right?
thanks again
by the way, i did searched a lot in the forum but i didn't found and inconclusive answers

Samsung will port the 2.2 update to the Captivate, but AT&T has to approve(mangle) it before public release.

Don't mean to burst your bubbles but no. We will not get a official release.... just remember I said it.
Common if we were to get it it would be done by now.

yes
It will come
someday

True We Will Not, but You can "BUY" a Samsung Tablet with Froyo 2.2. Ask yourself how do they have 2.2 for a tablet that has yet to be released (here in the USA, but Soon) and not for the Captivate and all others that were released in July some back in May?
Hell No We WON'T EVER see Froyo on the Captivate....

WE GET ICS -samsung!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok so for all of you who are feeling the same love/hate relationship with Samsung I am I can announce that it is time to start lovin again cause, I was talking to a samsung rep about why the I9000 gets the value pack and all other Galaxy S (origionals ) don't she disclosed the following to me!!
EDIT- No April fools
-
"
Samantha : I understand that you want to know information about Ice Cream Sandwich update for your device. Is that correct?
Chad: Yes
Samantha : Thank you.
Samantha : I will be glad to assist you.
Samantha : I am sorry to inform you that, as of now android 4.0(Ice Cream Sandwich) is not yet released for your device but please be assured that is planned for your device. I regret as of now there are no release dates available.
Chad: Ok thank you very, would you mind checking that with a supervisor, and if the galaxy s 4g is planning to get the full Ice cream sandwich or the value pack?
Samantha : I don't mean to rush you, but I haven't had a response from you. Are we still connected in this chat?
Chad: yes
Samantha : Sure, I will check with our Supervisor also.
Chad: thank you
Samantha : You're welcome.
Samantha : Thank you for waiting.
Chad: your welcome
Samantha : Yes, it is going to be released in future. As of now, we do not have information about release dates.
Chad: the full ice cream sandwich (same that the galaxy s 2 gets) or a value pack that comes with limited features?
Samantha : I am sorry, as of now the update is not released , we do not have any information about Ice Cream Sandwich update.
Samantha : Once the update is released it will be posted in our Samsung Website or you will be informed by your Service Provider.
Chad: ok thank you!
Samantha : You're welcome.
Samantha : Is there anything else that I can assist you with?
Chad: can I get any type of identification to reference this conversation if it comes up in the future with a Samsung representative?
Samantha : Sure, you can save chat ID for future reference.
Samantha : The Chat ID is LTK5640875087X. "

That's crazy!
EDIT
Also great news

not really crazy they would have to as per there agreement the sgs4g aka t959v fell into the 18 month agreement to push updates to the latest handsets.

Just the semi-confirmation man. It got me all excited.

I never trust what a rep says....

The rep in the script seemed to write computerish! Assuming that was done on a chat support?

honestly, it sounds like she really doesn't know what she's talking about :-/ I'd like to hope we get something, but it sounds like we might be waiting for a very long time, and still not get anything. The way she worded it just leaves it open ended.
I am sorry, as of now the update is not released , we do not have any information about Ice Cream Sandwich update.

I dunno about computerish, but I read it as English is not her first language...
Fingers crossed anyway... it wouldn't be the first time a csr got it wrong, but it'd be great if she was right.

I read the chat log and I don't get it that we'd ges ICS and not just value pack. Anyway, I downloaded the SGS i9000 value pack wanting to port it, bug it's for odin. I'd need some assistance.

I'm skeptical but cautiously optimistic.
A new kernel drop and possibly updated proprietary blobs would be appreciated, though.

I know sometimes, if its a common subject, they have to say it a certain was so that no one can draw any other conclusions that could cause their company to be responsible for something that was not intended, in other words they are required to copy and past a preformed script ... that might explain the computerish response

This is why I thought it seemed computerish.

idk, not really> i mean it sounded kind of choppy, but english second language people speak different. Also, every company is outsourcing these days.
The US support might actually be in China.

Official ICS is coming!

Check it out!

Korean LG says ICS is in testing phase, that's awesome news for us!

Nice, thanks for posting
Finally (maybe) no more limping ICS builds here.

Ya, let's hope one of the devs are still around when it's released =P

This sounds too good to be true... Especially because I can't read Korean...

LG is having a laugh at their customers' expense. I've never seen a company SO inept at just giving a fscking "YES" or "NO" answer about a product.

Oh please oh please don't lie to us or we will just continue to beg you more!! write letters, social media, and petition. I meed a break from all this buddy

I posted this in another thread but our good friend Paul O'Brien's sources say it's "imminent" for the 2X
The will-it-wont-it saga over the Ice Cream Sandwich updates for LG devices has been rolling on for months, but now, thankfully, we've had word from our LG insider on what's REALLY happening!
The news is good. Ice Cream Sandwich updates are nearing completion and will be released imminently for the Optimus 2X, Optimus 3D and Optimus Black! Exact dates are still not forthcoming, but we'll keep you posted with more news as we get it.
I'm really happy for LG users that this is going to happen, the support so far has been pretty shocking and LG really could do with turning it around.

Well here's hoping the LG Insider is right. If he is that means fully supported ICS for the T-Mo G2X once the devs get their hands on it. Not that I am complaining at all about HFP but it would be nice to run a fully supported ICS on the G2X.

Seems I heard this a few times before. I'll believe it when I see... Wait. I got rid of my G2x.
But just for arguments sake that this is true. They are in a testing phase. Which means the earliest this would be release to T-Mobile is what, Jan-Feb. and then they have to test it. So what, the 2 year anniversary of the device? I got my G2x on pre-order. It's been dead. Sorry, but I can't see this being offered as an official update.
No place in the article does it mention an "official update" coming. Seems the articles writer is jumping the gun in this one.

It won't ever be official for TMobile..suppose to be just for Korean o2x correct? But that's when devs can try and port it for those of us remaining hopeless souls

We've got smart devs around here, it'll be done for sure. The code isn't going to be in Korean. The only issue is it'll be for the P990 variant...

They have had a working build with their own 3xxx kernel for months. Let us say i have a REALLY good source.

Could our Skyrocket get official JB?

Could our Skyrocket get official JB? I see the update list for samsung devices but i didn't see our device in the list.

Yes.
Also, please use the JB thread in General.
Sent from my non-rooted GS2 SR

It should be receiving it, as the hardware is similar enough to quite a few other phones on the market. Additionally, Samsung is already prepping for their SII updates, so it would only make sense that the former flagship SII would receive it.
Only caveat, likely will be delayed due to it being a a niche model that was overall, limited run versus the original international variant of the SII.

It'll probably be similar to the crappy ICS update we got which lagged our phones like crazy and had ugly touchwiz on it. I'll stick with CM9/CM10 beta

Chatted on the 28 of November 2012.
The funny thing is, I used to own a Motorola Atrix 4G (great phone) and motorola pulled out the ICS upgrade at the last minute and left all the atrix user on GB. I bought the skyrocket hoping that it will get the JB update, will just have to wait.!!!

Calling all HTC One S Users from INDIA

Hey guys,
I am a HTC One S user from India CID - HTC__038. the biggest challenge for all of us is the problem of not having the RUU in order to feel the freedom of using the custom ROM we want. (OK not a lot of options out there!) but I feel it really cripples us a lot not having one. I have been in touch with Football and he say he can get the RUU but at a price.
This is the one he says can get - VILLEC2_U_ICS_40_S_hTC Asia India_2.15.720.150_Radio_16.22.20.03U_16.11.20.24_ M_release
The source is asking for 13 Euros + Paypal charges ~ 15 Euros I guess. Thats roughly a 1000 in INR.
If all of us can get together and pitch in, the cost will be peanuts (atleast compared to what we have paid for this phone). I guess none of us who managed to buy this phone are incapable of coming up with the full amount of the RUU, let alone a fraction of it.
So what say guys. Can we try and get this done. I need approvals and suggestions.
Thanks

I'm in.

Em I know I give you this idea but maybe wait a bit for a JB one when it comes which also gives you time to sort the money out.

JB update may take ages!

Thanx everyone for the support. But I had contacted HTC a while back and they said the JB will take some time to come out. 1st they need to sort out the bugs in the HOX JB release and then send out the S3 release or some BS like that. In short the lady on the line said do not expect a likely update atleast till next summer if not later. I mean India got the FOTA for 4.0.4 in November, a good 6 or so months after the S4 release worldwide. No point waiting for the JB just now. Also by the time JB is out and a custom ROM is released it will take a year at the least.
Anyways, this is just my 2 cents. Lets c whats the collective response.

I would help you guys but I don't have any money on PayPal, so this is just a small bump for you guys and good luck!

Buying the ROM.
Hey guys. I am being really generous and decided to buy it myself. I will open a paypal account and will be accepting donations into it if anyone wants to. Will post the details once i receive the RUU. Wish me luck that I dont screw it up.
