so just starting this thread so we can discuss any updates on release or other info cause i cant wait for the phone
and please try not to let this post became arguments just like every other one
One member believes it will release at the end of September, as for everyone else on the internet, we haven't heard a word about release. The Sprint version is coming early September and I've heard the Verizon version is late Sept, but AT&T hasn't been mentioned by anyone but 1 user on here.
Check back in a few weeks.
If you have any questions regarding other things about the phone besides release date, ask away.
stopped by the at&t store yesterday...talked to this girl that i always go to and she said one of her co-workers went to a training seminar for the Touch Pro..he wasnt there at the time so i couldnt get any more info. She said its gonna be withing a month till its released..i cant wait.

differences are no front camera
the keyboard layout top row is symbols not numbers wich i say is better
and the software for the fm radio was removed but you can put it back on
any other new stuff id love to hear!
I can't wait for this to be released. My girlfriend's cousin works at an AT&T store here in town so hopefully when I see him tonight he will be able to give me some info. The only bad part is that I am not due for an upgrade until Dec 09 =(.
I think i will just use my mom's upgrade mwhahahaha
Is there any difference in proccessor speed or RAM from the EU version? or is the only difference purely just the front camera and keyboard layout?

black says his has the same innards and memory all that so should be great
Ok cool. Also do we know if it supports plugins similar to what ThrottleLauncher does? So I could replace the default weather screen with something like WeatherPanel.

sounds like we all get froyo tonight?
Delete Please
I went to SamsungMobile.com and USA is not listed nor does it say that I have that region selected by default based on my IP address or anything of the like.
So 2 questions...
How is this relevant to USA/AT&T customers ?
How do I verify I am reading information that's for my region ?
I'm 99% sure it's not for any US or Canadian versions of the galaxy s. If you guys check out the multiple threads pertaining to this very topic, you would know that. The update coming out today is for the European and Korean versions. Samsung has repeatedly said that the update rolling out today is only for Europe and the US will be getting it later this year.
LOL... No.
There are two things I know for FACT about the Froyo update.
Waiting for it is just part of it.
And when it drops the news WILL be unavoidable.
It's a Don't call us we'll call you kind of thing, and I bet the phone will ring right off the hook when it comes.
Don't want to get my hopes up, but this may be true.
I just connected to kies mini and instead of getting firmware version is up to date I got, "Failed to connect to the model information server". Others have been reporting this on another forum. So I guess it is worth a try tonight to see.
I definitely think something is in the works here. I have been trying to check for an update via Kies. Most of the morning I am getting "Failed to connect to the model information server". I believe some people received the same thing prior to the last update. Guess we will all have to wait and see.
http://kr.samsungmobile.com/notice/anycallpopup/froyo_up.jsp
go go go
That's in Korean ... so I am assuming the update is for Korean phones?
http://news.softpedia.com/news/Android-2-2-Froyo-on-Galaxy-S-in-More-Markets-166602.shtml
Looks like we can expect this update in the United States later today.
I just checked out samsungmobile.com and USA is not an available selection. So not really getting my hopes up about the reports of 2.2 later today.

Still, it's fun to see rumor threads pop up.
It'll be funnier when the "I flashed back to stock to get ready but nothing happened" threads pop up later.
**Waiting with baited breath**
Just connected mine to Kies and got the message saying I have the latest firmware version. Others have been having connection issues but mine synced right up ... I think this is another wild goose chase unless you are living in Korea.

I have been trying all morning and I think about 75% of the time I could not connect and the other 25% of the time I had the same results as you. Could be that everyone is trying the server is overwhelmed. Either way the link I put in my last post makes it sound like the update is likely to hit the US today.
I am not holding my breath though since every Samsung phone I have ever owned has been one goose chase after the next when it comes to updates.
I think waiting around for froyo has made me bitter. I keep getting my hopes up only to get shot down ... I have become a pessimist. Gee thanks Samsung haha.

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
Trust. Me if it was coming out for our phones (USA) android central would be all over it. So far nothing from them.

Hey, I can't fine the galaxy s twitter page. Can you link me?
Thank you,
I really hope the red color will be available in the U.S. after the phone officially is for sale. The iPhone red color is beautiful but wasn't available until later.
I heard July for the US.
I hope you heard correctly. Thanks.

If you look closely, you'll see it's from HTC UK support, not HTC US.

It does cover what you're thread is asking.. guess you've never been through a pre order thread before.. some people aren't getting their devices for a month yet.. enjoy your thread.
I'll be sending a couple links from the pre order thread that will prove what I'm saying is correct ?
Well, I have my Translucent Blue 64GB U12+ already but I bought it on the spot during the HTC U event last Wednesday in NYC. I'm using it since last Thursday as my primary phone and so far I think it's an outstanding phone.
Just so you don't think I'm making it up, see attachments.

I went to the event also, but I didn't bought one because I wanted the 128GB model, and they did not have that one available....

No prob - what do you want to see? External pics or screenshots of apps? I work 9-6 so high quality external pics have to wait until the weekend (when I have time to grab my Olympus before sunset.)

Sorry I should have specified. External Pics of the phone please. All the review videos seem to be with studio lighting so I would like to see what the blue model looks like under "normal lighting". If that makes sense. lol

So far it's outstanding but I am mostly on wifi, even when riding subway to work or home.
Seeing your post I actually decided to try to stretch it a bit: fully charged it last night *before* going to bed (very late, like 3AM, still read few articles on the phone) then left it on the nightstand in silent mode (wifi on, screen off, no charger.) Took off in the morning, streamed music during the subway via LTE (~30 mins), now it's 10:20AM and still 82% (not bad since ~1AM) - I'm curious to see how we end up by, say, 8PM. It's on wifi w/ wifi calls enabled here, at work, this should help.

Sure, I'll do it on Sunday.
In the meantime here's a completely "auto" pic, I was testing HDR speed - it is quick, instant, like non-HDR pics (my older phones always took an extra half second to assemble HDR pics):

do you have a friend or family with AT&T sim card you can borrow for couple of minutes? It would be really nice to see if you can check if VoLTE works on AT&T I can tell you how to tell if it is working or not if you need help to identify, also another question does the dialer has smart search (are you able to search for phone numbers of places near you within the dialer without having them as a contact) ? or is it the same dialer found on U11?
(Revised 3/2/21)
If by now, you haven't received this firmware update from your wireless provider, something is askew and you probably should start looking that. Other than that, if you're not already running on it, you've probably made that choice!
As with all software updates, it's never a bad time to either perform a new backup before commencing with the OTA download, or at least check on what date your showing for the last one (usually, you'll find your handset performs these daily, once every 24 hours). As for me personally, that's my cue to run my backup to my microsd card via the Smartswitch app!
The last friendly reminder I wanted to share witb some of our newcomers that have recently graced us with their presence, is to make certain you're at (or pretty damn close) to 75% charged on your new flagship! The way these new "beasts" we own "bleed-out" our batteries, it's not a bad idea to "up the ante" with the old school rule of having your battery at 50% or more before downloading the update! I saw this same topic mentioned on one of the other forums/channels the other day and thought it was some good advice? Eh, to each his/her own...whatever works for you!

I read Samsung already started rolling out out this update at the beginning of the week(2/15)
to include this handset. I'm TMB and that's a
no-go (so far) and Sprint hasn't rolled it out either.
Anyone with new Intel on this matter, please share as a small monetary contribution will be made available(jk)!

yep, saw that, but you're an Unlocked, Carrier Branded SM-N986U, not SM-N986U1. That's where my confusion came about until I figured it out looking at FOTA!
I know it's no cause for alarm (with samsung, it happens more often than not) but I didn't see a new build # assigned yet for XAA(as if they hadn't started one, but much more likely they just failed to update their system)!
However, for those of you SM-N986U1 users (like myself) seeing this dialog, we could be in for a little longer wait, meaning we may not have Our Update by this coming Monday (3/1), as a few of the websites I saw earlier were speculating!
(We will know more soon, I'm certain)!

**ONE UI 3.1 SOFTWARE UPDATE IS HERE!**
I'm on the unlocked SM-N986U1 connected to Verizon and still no update for me. I thought having an unlocked phone straight from Samsung would put me in line to get the updates first, but I guess not. I was one of the last N20U users to get 3.0, and now the same seems to be the case for 3.1. I saw articles talking about it being pushed out the Note 10's already.

Yeah...what's up with that samsung? You shoot the new update to our traded-in or sold devices first, after we spent more money with you to be last on the update list again?! wtf...
having 986U, T-mobile unlocked from the included app, I already received the update UI 3.1 here in Africa where I am with my job. The SIM card /carrier is Africell.

I have bought two notes from Samsung directly over the years because I was under the impression if I bought the phones straight from Sammy I would get more features and faster updates. But as time goes on I see now that the unlocked phones are second class to Sammy. It seem to me like Sammy can't help but stroke off the carriers and bend to what they want.

I'm glad to see Samsung always improving their camera function as that is one of their claim-to-fames, one that snagged-me as I've said many times! However, I was sorta expecting to see something thrown in the mix about changes implemented to extend battery life...wasn't just me, right?
