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the update is originally made to the i9000 and being modified by at&t?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....

Kies Update imminent

Lots of T-Mobile references left in the document:
Modifications:
MobiTV: Renamed to T_Mobile TV

This upgrade has been thoroughly tested by Samsung and AT&T to be compatible with Captivate devices running previous versions of the released software. Customers who are running unsupported operating systems (e.g. those that are rooted or have not been received from T-Mobile and Samsung) should move forward at their own risk.

This is interesting though.

Let's hope because it's about time. Only thing is that ATT charges for their tethering let's hope this is not neutered in the final release. If it is cooks will now have an American base to work off of. Although the Cog 3.02 works great for accept for MMS.

I don't understand why you keep emphasizing spelling. Did I spell something wrong? Also, the 2.2 update is not here for AT&T Captivates. I guess this isn't really relevant to you as you're on Rogers.

So this is going to be I897UCKB1, according to the info sections near the bottom? I don't think I've seen a firmware beginning with K before. Iiiiinteresting. Let's see what XDA does with this if it truly is what we've been waiting for.

...sigh... then why mention a spell check in your first response? Shouldn't it be a dictionary I should be looking for? I know what the word means and I used it correctly.
The T-Mobile mentions are interesting. It shows that it was mostly a copy/paste job. I just think this page's existence is not a coincidence with the arrival of SamsungJohn

Ok guys come on now. Can we please all act like Adults. The name calling and flaming really needs to end.
As far as the update it would seem just like it was in WM. The roms are 2 builds ahead by the time ATT releases the update lol.

My guess is that you have to be either on stock JF6 or JH7 which I doubt most of us are.

It would be fun to do a side-by-side comparison of Eclair, official Froyo and 2.2.1 custom builds.

ICS Release?

I seem to remember reading somewhere that an overseas version of the Inspire (Telus/Telstra, was it?) would be getting an official ICS ROM from HTC on or about the 25th. Obviously this is important for us because it would address various hardware issues like the video camera not working for us US users. Wondering if anyone has heard anything yet.

Oh you'll know. There will be about 50 people posting links to the same information all making new threads about it.
they will sound something like this "I heard official ics was just released. How long can we expect to wait for icecold/cyanogen/exists etc etc to update to it!??!
followed by "omg, i cant wait!"
followed by "how long does it really take to put in the new official kernel?"
followed by (Thread closed by Zelendel)
oh and dont forget "i updated to the official, now i lost root"

Who do we contact at Samsung about ICS/Jellybean?

This is getting just plain ridiculous. There is just NO CAUSE for this device not to have at least ICS by now. I posted on their facebook page but it "disappeared". Any suggestions on where to contact?

Have you seen this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1777303
ICS is already out for both models P6200 and P6210, now, if you're talking about some specific region idk.

Why does everyone in these forums think calling, texting tweeting or emailing any manufacturer is going to get an update released any sooner? Or that you will get an answer as to when it will be released. In every device forum I'm in you get these juvenile attempts to harass a manufacturer to release an update and that's just not how the world works. Do you really think they care that you don't have the update when you want it? They will release the update when they feels its ready to be released and not any sooner no matter how many calls they get.

I beleive the Samsung OS Upgrade Customer Care Manager is Helen Waite. So, I beleive, if someone has a complaint about a lack of a timely OS upgrade on a Samsung Product, they expect us to go to Helen Waite.

Why did you quote me? I don't want to contact Samsung about firmware updates, the guy from the op wants. I've only posted the link to the ICS FW

Official ICS is coming!

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.
