According to SamsungMobileUK - Froyo is official now (again?). Everyone will have it by End of Month. Is that USA too?
From twitter:
https://twitter.com/#!/samsungukmobile/status/29684769499
Froyo starts rolling out today; everyone will have it by the end of Nov. To prepare, get the latest version of Kies http://bit.ly/cfjJDa
I think we should see it by Christmas. That way when we get it earlier, it will be that much more exciting!
Samsung has been quick to point out that when SamsungUK says 'everyone', they mean 'everyone in Europe'. They have consistently said 'By the end of the year' for us Yank's.

yes, but they have not really qualified when that really is - it could also be in November. One rumor site claims all of us by the 11th of November.
For a multinational company, they have terrible communication skills. We are left to infer what they mean. But you are correct - previous communication has been region specific.
I have already installed the Froyo version available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797282
After Froyo is released officially in the US for AT&T, does anyone knows if there would be a way to upgrade to the official version?
* Update: Nevermind my question... there is a thread about this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821480
According to this:
https://twitter.com/samsungukmobile/status/535769122865153
They say that there have been some fixes to the GPS in Froyo. Let's hope so because I am tired of this unreliable GPS which I can't really use.

has anybody got this and updated that can give some feedback?

This says Korean Galaxy S users will get official Froyo on Monday night...
Nothing? Nobody had installed the official update and has an opinion...This is disappointing as this thread now only has 9 replies where the thread about a Mysterious update text that 5 people got has 127....
soon to be US hoepfullly!
what i dont get is why is gingerbread coming out like in a week or 2 and we are getting 2.2? shouldnt they have just used this past month or 2 to make gingerbread work instead? Its obviously been available for sometime if its being released.

Especially when you consider that Samsung had access to the Gingerbread source for the Nexus S (the first Gingerbread phone to come out). At this point I am just hoping we get Froyo soon. If we are lucky, the Nexus S will help make an official update to Gingerbread come sooner; or if not, if the hardware is similar enough we may get unofficial gingerbread updates soon after the Nexus S sources become available.

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 went to the AT&T store for a software issue I'm having with my galaxy s4 and the att rep told me to wait for next week or the week after because of a OTA update that's coming out. Maybe, maybe not.

The sales people at att have no idea when updates are pushed out. The tech support at att don't have a clue about it until the day it is released. You got to think about it, it was a sales rep. They are going to tell anything just to make a customer happy.

What software issue?
Does waiting push you past your exchange date?
MF3 just came out, doubt another is coming. Sometimes incremental, small ones come out. Doubt if rep knew exactly what an incremental would fix anyway, even if one was coming.
I wouldn't wait. Try another store, maybe a Corporate one--
they lied.
It was at a DSC, and I've never exchanged my phone. What's the best excuse to get them to replace it?

This. The reps at these stores don't know when software updates are coming; if you were to ask them at any other time they would tell you that they aren't told when updates are slated to arrive. Considering an update just came out and these updates have to go through a rigmarole before they get pushed, I doubt there is one coming next week.

If you check around it was suppose to be promised to tmobile a few days ago, so, knowing Verizon and the ungodly amount of bloat they shove down our throats and how they disable features because 'they' think they are not useful, i predict into February easy.
I miss the days when these RUUs leaked early. I'm not sure why that stopped.

If memory served me correct it was someone by the name of 'football' who leaked them. Maybe he got fired lolz.
I am considering jumping ship from HTC and getting a nexus 5x, I am just frustrated with 'Verizon Certified' stuff. it is usually a bunch of bloatware and then they go in and disable features. Besides HTC will only support the device for 2 years. I like the idea of the software update coming directly from Google; like Apple does it, zero carrier intervention is the way to go.
Not sure I know anyone with a nexus 5x to ask what they think.
No one knows. HTC promised it by the end of last year, but they only made that deadline for the international version. The US isn't a priority in Taiwan.
You can run Santod's NuSenSeveN if you're S-OFF. That's pretty close to what we'll get, minus bloatware. And it pretty much runs perfectly. I'm currently on Captain's GPE, which was made for Sprint but works just fine on Verizon.
I'm going to Project Fi in June, just as soon as my contract is up. To the day. I'm jumping to a 128GB 6P.

Check Best Buy. I heard they were carrying the 6P. Might have the 5X as well. No guarantees though. YouTube should have some videos. I like Marques Brownlee. His specialty is cameras (pro grade) so when he talks about a phone's camera, he knows what he's talking about. And he's well versed in the other aspects as well. Here's his review of the Nexus 5X.

Although I'm usually wary of others claiming "inside contact" knowledge, in this case I'll remain optimistic. The T-Mobile variant is overdue for an update. Absolutely nothing has come through yet since I purchased the phone on Oct 30th. I'm stock and no root/locked bootloader. At this point there's a laundry list of issues that need to be fixed including but not limited to YouTube freezing at 1440p playback and fingerprint scanner w/case on. My phone is paid outright and if T-Mobile doesn't push an update by the time the LG G5 specs are confirmed and the phone is released, AND I'm impressed, I'll have no problem selling this phone for it.

I believe the point was to related to the V10 -- articles from several sites reported that Feb 7th would mark the date that LG phones would start to receive Marshmallow. These phones included our V10 as well as the G4. Not all were going to be getting the update starting on that date, but that's the start date per these sites.

I suppose I agree, however being in the software design "Biz," and recognizing that missing Android 6 should not keep people up at night (understatement), it is far more important that LG gets it right, than if they are perceived as late. This is especially true with a phone is as highly customized as the V10. Also, I think that. 5.1.1 on the V10 is quite stable and fast overall. The upgrade promise was within 6 months of release, which would imply May at the latest. I would be OK with that- again, provided it is bug free, stable and fast.
