[ROM][ALPHA] Kaosinate Froyo ROM on XDA already out and being worked on.... My money is on that being out and available way before 2.2 from Samsung for the VZW Fascinate.. Go check it out on XDA
You'd think that if Froyo was going to be released next week that they would have either waited for the DL09 and just bundled it or skipped it all together. And also, that there would be some info on one of the official websites like we saw with the DL09 before it came out. And, that there would be more official seeming news than a tweet. But who knows... maybe... Is it April 1st yet?
Okay I do not want to get everybody's hopes up, but I am a member and avid reader over at Droidforums.net as well and this is what I saw today. A person in the forum is stating that Samsung tweeted him that Froyo for the Fascinate will launch next week. Check out the link and see for yourself....I am very skeptical, but here it is any how:
Although there will be information on it's release when the time does finally come, they don't always put it out a week before rollout. In fact, I've seen instances where they put the information about an update on their website just hours before they begin rolling an update out.
I suppose, but since I don't actually believe that its coming out next week I'm trying to come up with logical reasons to keep myself from getting pointlessly excited.
After stopping in my local vzw store on friday I asked their store manager, I refuse service from anyone but him, about froyo for the fascinate and what the hold up was about. He immediately took a step back and said major updates are only pushed to phones with known issues and there currently weren't any with the fascinate! I told him my gps had not worked since day one and he then told me there was a fix on the way but not to expect froyo. So after leaving, I decided to call in to CS just to see if they would verify this in any way. After reaching tech support I asked where froyo and media hub access were for the fascinate and how they could say this phone could do and have access to these things yet they aren't available. This is where it gets interesting, vzw tech places me on hold and comes back and says VZW is only responsible for voice and data and any other questions had to be directed to samsung. He then immediately places me on hold and transfers me to samsung. After about an hour on the phone, 95% of that on hold, a supervisor comes on and without letting me say a word tells me samsung is only responsible for manufacturing the phone and that they can say the phone can do or have access to whatever they want and as long as the phone didn't release with what was advertised they were not liable and that any other questions needed to be directed to VZW. WTF?!! HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? If this is really the case fascinate owners are really getting screwed. I on the other hand immediately ported both my numbers to sprint, where so far my coverage and evos have been great!
