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the update is originally made to the i9000 and being modified by at&t?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

Officail ics update from Samsung

Hey i spoke to samsung on live chat and they did say samsung infuse will get official ics update.
Hi, thank you for contacting Samsung Technical Support. How may I help you today?
Visitor: Hi i wanted to ask if the samsung infuse 4g would be getting the ice cream sandwich update as you guys promised it would

Visitor: ok
Simpson: Thank you.
Simpson: Thank you for holding.
Simpson: I can see that Samsung is in close contacts with the Google and all the carriers to release the Icecream sandwich update for Infuse.
Simpson: I am glad to inform you that your phone is in the update list and is close to receive the update however the dates are not confirmed yet.
Simpson: The Icecream sandwich update for your phone will be released as soon as possible.
Simpson: We apologize for any inconvenience caused to you.

"Visitor: Hi i wanted to ask if the samsung infuse 4g would be getting the ice cream sandwich update as you guys promised it would"
They never promised anything...but who knows miracles could happen and they may not have been just giving you lip service
so... make it happen "the google"!

Samsung Technical Support can you please send me a link when the icecream update is ready for the Infuse 4g.

I highly doubt ICS is ever coming to infuse... but good to see there is a slight hope.
I just want them to release more stable version of official gb

It will take forever
lol even though it will come jelly bean (android 5.0) will probobly be out by then. I mean froyo to gingerbread is small step and took atnt forever to release it. gingerbread to ics is huge step and will take atnt forever to release it to lol. The only reason i want them to release it is for bluetooth and camera drivers. Entropy's rom is awsome and is my daily driver but it doesnt have bluetooth and camera isnt the best quility so if samsung does release official the entropy's rom will be awsome. Yeah a more stable gb rom would be good to cause the one out right now doesnt have hdmi support and only records 720p at 15frames per second

I'm not trying to be a buzz kill but they more than likely for their phones mixed up. This phone is dead to them.

Maybe ask them by model number (SHG-I997) so they don't confuse it with the "Inspire" again.

Dont put stock in what Samsung has to say as they have little control over the update. ATT has complete control. Samsung may release it to ATT but then ATT may never release it. It is not unheard of. Happens all the time with ATT phones. The euro version gets 1 or 2 updates whle the US version never sees any updates at all.

This is what i got

However; once the update is available, it will be posted on our website in the Samsung Download Center or you will be informed by your service provider.

Nicole: I would like to inform you that, currently, 2.3 Gingerbread is the latest software version for your device. ICS has not been released. Once the update is available, it will be posted on our website in the Samsung Download Center or you will be informed by your service provider. Please feel free to check with us periodically for updates.

I have to agree, it would be awesome if they do bring ICS to our phone. However, it'll be a couple of months before they release a "Leak" of it, and by the time it's released on Kies, I'm sure all of us will be up for an upgrade, and we'll all have the SG3 looking for a Jellybean leak, trying to OC and Theme the hell out of it.. lol..

Guys.... there were articles everywhere stating that att would only release ics to some of their very high end phones. The infuse is not a high end phone anymore. Sammy may make an update... but the chances of us ever seeing it are little as att will abolish it immediatly. Only if someone was in very close contact with sammy....

I agree with you, which is pretty much why we're all here on XDA looking for the latest and greatest for our phone, which is why I applaud and send my MANY thanks to everyone responsible for every Mod/Theme/Firmware update possible. I know I just officially joined this site, but I've been coming to it for quite sometime, to look for ways to mod not just my phone, but also friends of mine who are not as Tech-savy as I am, so I find myself getting asked to mod all my friends phones all the time. Luckily, I find it fun to do, not to mention, it helps me get a better understanding of how things work and why they operate the way they do. but anyhow.. If it is true that this phone will get ICS that's awesome, but if not, well.. atleast it was a nice thought. Even though, it still baffles me that Developers here at XDA can port ROMs from other phones and are getting quite efficient at it too by the way, and it takes manufactures months actually almost a year to release an old outdated Firmware upgrade (Gingerbread) and still had plenty of bugs.. so what's the difference at this point where we get updates from.. lol..

ICS coming to Samsung Galaxy Tabs 7.0 Plus starting in July

according to http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/20/ics-coming-to-samsung-galaxy-tabs/

Samsung Live Chat has told me May... June (2 times!)... and now I see July, maybe August? I don't believe Samsung, why would I believe some 3rd party? I had a Galaxy S before, and I can tell you that these delays are Samsung's MO.

Every post I've seen links to SamMobile... and SamMobile does not reference any press release, person, or source for their story. This is reminding me of all the 'Galaxy Nexus now has 4.0.4' posts in non-yakju area posts, where someone posted a screenshot of a yakju phone running 4.0.4 and said they got it on yakjuux or something else, and then every news site ran with it, because one site posted it.
Apparently, people are desperate for news. I ought to start a rumor that Jellybean is releasing next week and will include both voice control AND mind-reading capability...

Well that is certainly good news! Although I'm still kind of first-see-then-believe on Samsung and ICs updates.
Would be awesome if they could release the Wifi driver so we could port CM9...

I will wait patiently and hopefully we will see it by end of August.

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

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.!!!
