Froyo not till 2011?!

[hevenz1]

So I was browsing the web and came across this Bulletinblips: Samsung Galaxy S Will Not Be Updated To Android 2.2 Froyo Uuntil 2011. Is this real? Not trying to spread rumors or anything. But if this is true. I'm very dissapointed

 

[estebancam]

I'm going to call fraud on this one. Samsung has consistently said that it will be released this year.

Hopefully the horrible grammar of that article is a sign that this does not pertain to us.

You see I was thinking the same thing...

I actually had trouble even understanding what it was trying to say. However, I'm getting Palm flash backs!

 

[shaundizzle]

Haha yeah when you guys said bad grammar i thought like some mistypes etc.

But that was almost not understandable,

btw i think its beause its translated into english. If you guys take spanish class, or any language, you know the way they put their sentences together is different. For example, in spanish you put your adjectives after the noun rather than before.

El toro rojo = the red bull in english but the literal translation is "the bull red"

froyo bets is here, google search it, works very well

samsung support on twitter has been saying over and over that froyo is a sure thing before the end of the year. until they change their tune, i'm going to believe them.

I keep hearing from my sources December 14 or 21. If you don't believe my sources, go back and look about the release date for Froyo on the EVO, I was 1 day off, only because Sprint decided to release it a day early. These sources have been pretty good for me in the past. But, again, delays do happen. Plus, I really don't care when Froyo comes out for the Epic. It is my wife's Epic, and she really likes her phone as it is now. I keep telling her that Froyo will be a lot better, but she doesn't care. This is the first phone she has really liked.

I know guys we're all anxious, but we just wait patiently cuz we have such a perfect gadget we can't live without

So what is froyo going to do for the Epic, improve the benchmarks? Make the batt last longer? What other improvments can i expect?

Benefits of Froyo:
1. Touchwiz 3.0, none of this 2.5 crap that they pass off as Touchwiz. Lots of enhancements like, adding/removing home pages, rearrange apps in the app drawer, dedicated video/sound recorder app, music player is not the stock android one,
2. JIT (Just-In-Time) Compiler. Sure, it increases benchmarks, but definitely a welcome addition.
3. Flash 10.1. Most won't care, but considering the Flash Lite doesn't work AT ALL on the 2.1 Epic, you'll notice that it works. With a little hackery, hulu works.
4. Access to 2.2 apps (kinda related to #3 if you will). Adobe AIR is an example. The live wallpaper I have now is another one.
5. I haven't tested this, but the bluetooth stack should be universal. Most devices connect, but the wiimote doesn't currently work on 2.1.
6. Yahoo Messanger (video) works (kinda). They still need to optimize it for the Epic where the screen orientation is correct, and sound working, but otherwise, I can see the person on the other end and they can hear me, I just can't hear them. This didn't work at all in the slightest with 2.1.
7. Stable. I'm still using the DJ29 Leak, and its very very stable for my use.

Are you planning to load DK17?

Just did last night. Works well. Someone is reporting an issue where the capacitive buttons don't work after pictures, but it worked fine for me. I don't really see much of a change from DK17 and DJ29. I am also using the DK17 Modem.

This device was released two months after my Evo, which had Froyo, and it still hasn't been updated. This is pathetic. I'd heard that Samsung was incredibly slow with their updates, but there's really no excuse for this nonsense. The phone will be on Ebay soon...

 

[eharty]

I had an Evo when it got updated to froyo. There were a few nice improvements but nothing that blew me away. While I like an updated OS as much as anybody, the Epic already runs smoother and quicker than the Evo I had with froyo on it.

Samsung is late and needs to get their act together but if you can't wait why not load the leak as stated above?

 

[adjmcloon#IM]

Personally I'm waiting for the updated VPN stack in Froyo so I can remote to my machines @ work.

 

[sole_elite_xx3]

samsung is full of @#$% it pisses me offfffffffff

 

[BBooDad]

I want Froyo so that I can plug some speakers into the Desk "multimedia" dock that doesn't pass through audio via the USB connection yet, but is supposed to with the 2.2 update. That way I can just slide it in and turn on the tunes!
