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the update is originally made to the i9000 and being modified by at&t?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....
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
Simpson: I understand that you want to know if Infuse 4g will get a ICS update in near future. Is that correct?
Visitor: yes
Simpson: Thank you for confirming.
Simpson: Would you mind in holding for a few minutes while I check the information?
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.
Simpson: When ever an update is released for your phone you will get an notification alert on your phone informing you about the released update.
Simpson: We sincerely apologize for the delay caused to you.
Visitor: so you guys confirmed that there will be an update?

"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..
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.

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

Did anybody out there see the release image that Samsung put out with the phone barely peeking out of the shadow? Check this link out it shows that image as well as a leaked video of a phone that could possibly be the S IV. The top of it certainly matches the leaked shadowed image from Samsung...
What do yall think? Looks just like the S III to me....

Ding ding ding, what do we have behind door number 1, Johnny?
The S4 is not "just another device." It's the legacy of this phone. If any phone warrants its own thread in this forum, it is.
nvm...
Can't wait to see all the features of the phone
Very interested in this device, but not sure if I'll grab myself one. I'm pretty satisfied with the GS3. I think maybe, if it sports a large battery and Sprint's future bands (LTE 800/2600), I'd consider it but I honestly see it not support SVDO and it only being LTE 1900.

I mean partial as in you'll get to see it and see some functionality...but theyre probably not gonna show everything
Honestly, I'm sad to say but I think Samsung maybe Apple us with the new SIV. It looks the same (just a bigger screen) and basically all the same stuff besides a slightly better camera, GPU, processor, battery and a bigger screen. That's really it though. S4 users coming from the S3 probably won't even realize those differences I mentioned. Kinda sux, which is why I'll be waiting for the Note III or GSV.
