[Captivate General] JayPhill89:
I've heard rumors as well but not from any great sources. A majority of the AT&T representatives that I've dealt with are very ill-informed about anything android related.

While talking to a VZW rep he mentioned something about the Fascinate being better than the Captivate because it does have the newest version of android.. 1. No it doesn't 2. The Fascinate has a flash, that must mean it's more powerful >.>

Take anything you hear from a carrier with a lot of salt. The best way to figure out when 2.2 will be available is to watch over firmware websites. A new 2.2 I9000 firmware was just posted and leads me to believe that it is going to be released soon. The AT&T branded official firmware will be a bit farther off.
[Captivate General] skinien:
Unfortunately, it's a South Korean company that makes our phone.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
WOW! Another "I talked to an AT&T rep and they told me something great" thread. Because this must be the one AT&T tech person that has the inside scoop.

Sorry to rain on anyone's parade, but if we took all the threads that contained a statement "X is coming on day Y because an [carrier name here] rep told me so and they know because they are [insert highest level possible here]" and then we did an analysis to see which ones turned out to be true - I bet the percentage would hover around 0 - I would go out on a limb and say the percentage actually is 0.

Since we haven't even seen a leaked 2.2 captivate ROM, this is more then a longshot.

Samsung still has to create and test the Firmware and then AT&T has to test it. It will be a while.
[Captivate General] ianwood:
Since I keep reading a lot speculation about this around here, maybe I can shed some light into the typical process a device goes through when it is built and updated.

The carrier commits to ordering x number of units from the OEM with options to buy more at a certain price. In exchange for the minimum order commitment, the OEM promises to make customizations to the build of the device (industrial design, firmware and installed software) for the carrier. The OEM will also commit to a certain number of updates, fixes or patches contractually. And in this case, Google as the OS supplier will support and work very closely with both AT&T and even more so with Samsung. However, all the coding and build work is done by the OEM. Testing is done first by the OEM who puts out interim builds as defects get addressed. Release candidates are then sent to the carrier who will do their own testing mostly to make sure the devices play nicely with their network.
[Captivate General] krakerx:
So in other words, since we all decided to go with AT&T we are gunna be stuck with 2.1 until hell freezes over... great... FML
[Captivate General] vin050:
actually here is a 2.2 captivate rom from a couple days ago at samfirmware

i would post link but im not approved... its the first one there though
[Captivate General] krakerx:
you sure, i think the i9000 firmware is up to 2.2, but the cappy and the other US Galaxy S phones are stuck at 2.1
[Captivate General] ukulele_ninja:
You can get your hopes up as much as you want... I'm saying that it ain't gonna happen any time soon.
[Captivate General] krakerx:
I'm putting the Froyo update up there with Santa Claus, The Easter Bunny, and The Tooth Fairy...
[Captivate General] gary_lankford:
I've been with At&t for ten years. Not because they've treated me so well, but because they are the only game in the country. No one else goes to the trouble; that makes At&t something special. In the city you have choices; here we have At&T...

I waited specifically for a Samsung android phone because I like Samsung and as a linux user I am committed to open source. Yeah, I would like to get a froyo update, and soon, but I like this hand-held as is. So, I'll wait for a while, and if At&t still doesn't come through, then I'll avail myself of the offerings here and get it by whatever means necessary. It's not so long yet that there is no hope of At&t doing what is right...
[Captivate General] ianwood:
Not saying that at all. But if there is to be a Froyo release for the Captivate, it will already be part of the deal AT&T has with Samsung.

Since Froyo was GA before the Captivate was even in stores, I think AT&T would almost have to plan for the upgrade. And I think Google will have put some pressure on AT&T to provide the upgrade since it helps to reduce OS version fragmentation which is very much in Google's interest. So my guess is, WE WILL see a Froyo build for our Captivate. The question is when.
[Captivate General] cesierra:
Does AT&T do upgrades via OTA? Does that option work at all?
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
I just checked; no 2.2 for captivate.

[Captivate General] Dxtra:
Froyo source code been out for 4 months now, the question is what was Samsung doing the whole time? Working on 2.1 , or maybe they just started working on froyo recently. This is the last time I buy a phone without the latest update. Screw them. Obviously having the latest built its not they're priority.
[Captivate General] terrigan:
I'm sure we'll see Froyo eventually.. the question is when. You need to learn patience. Perhaps AT&T is still testing the rom or maybe they're going to see what a huge impact the OTA update would be to the network on the day of release. I'm not an AT&T fanboy, the service sucks where I am so I'll just wait patiently like everyone else? Hey, who knows.. maybe one day this month we'll get that prompt on our phone saying that there's an update available. Wouldn't that be a great day?
[Captivate General] mesasone:
There was some confusion regarding the JH7 build, which is still a build from August as you noted, some thinking it was 2.2 - but in fact it turned out not to be.
[Captivate General] iamcombat:
I used to have problems sending MMS on my phone too....and then I fixed the APN and I've not had any problems again yet.
[Captivate General] Shival:
Maybe Maybe

Sorry, just thought would share that with everyone. Thought maybe it might make people feel a little less cynical.

All I am saying is that it could be.
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
About the same time the alien ship was to show itself last year? These posts get more frequent as the end of September approaches. Patience IS a virtue.
[Captivate General] t-readyroc:
I think we'll see the GPS fix update next week. Froyo? Notsomuch.
[Captivate General] ConceptVBS:
Att rep only gave you the "information" so you would stop complaining.
[Captivate General] Shival:
I was not complaining about getting 2.2 to the rep. I was just trying to get my MMS issue addressed and asked if the update coming this Wednesday could be 2.2. Whether you like it or not, anything is possible.
[Captivate General] captivatesuperuser:
Yes anything is possible but I work for AT&T and I can tell you that neither of the reps would have known that answer. AT&T customer service reps don't get that kind of information and the only people that know from Samsung wouldn't be on the phone with a technical issue. I hope it comes out on the 23rd but don't count on it.
[Captivate General] Symmetric:
AT&T is still testing the JH7 ROM (I have a friend in the development group), and I've been using it for a week now (thanks, SamFirmWare) and can't seem to find an issue that would stop them from releasing it.

no 2.2 yet, but I'm hearing hopefully by the end of the year.
[Captivate General] Tryptonite:
Exactly, I used to work for AT&T Wireless and no matter when 2.2 comes out a rep will not know when. They never let us know that kind of info.
[Captivate General] supertrac:
omgomg! you believe what they told you? seriously!

My cousin gets her hair cut by this guy who has a poodle. The poodle's groomer also grooms this boxer that is owned by the Samsung cafeteria lady. She says 2.2 is coming out soon so it must be Wednesday.
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
I'm now cleaning coke from my screen. Too funny!
[Captivate General] Spleisher:
You are a liar! (or at least your cousin's beautician is)

Why would anyone take a boxer to a groomer? Rubbish.

I think this is proof-positive we're not getting our T.C.B.Y. on Wednesday.

And here we were, getting all excited, only to find out we were duped by a cafeteria lady, a dog groomer, and a hair dresser. Conspiracy!

Ok, I'm just being silly now. Funny post. Got a chuckle out of it. Thanks.
[Captivate General] noidd:
Well since Engadget,Techcrunch etc have stated an update will arrive late Sep., I would have to conclude that they have talked to someone who knows more than anyone in this forum of what's coming down the pipeline. I personally don't like Engadget because of their fanboyism to Apple but they are pretty reputible as are technobuffalo and techcrunch.
[Captivate General] mmm_tacos:
Your MMS issue only exists while connected to EDGE?

If so, download Handcent SMS and go into Settings->Send Message Settings-> Maximum MMS Size and then set it to 100k.

Just use this as your default SMS client :)
[Captivate General] AvengerBB:
By "an update" I assume you mean the GPS and other bug fix release. Froyo will not be for another month or two (or even more) I assure you.
[Captivate General] sridhar618:
And that rumor is right here stating a Sep 23rd date http://www.unwiredview.com/2010/09/14/samsung-galaxy-s-may-get-android-2-2-froyo-on-september-23rd/

hhhmmm...interesting!!
[Captivate General] mindfrost82:
Still only for the international I9000 model...
[Captivate General] climber1872000:
I highly doubt we will be seeing froyo this month. Maybe I’m wrong and hopefully I am, but I would be willing to gamble that won’t be seeing the froyo update until we get closer to the end of the year. I’m sure we’ll se an update to 2.1 that will address the GPS issue and maybe a few other software glitches but not froyo. I guess only time will tell.
[Captivate General] kangi26:
I highly doubt AT&T will release 2.2 in the next 3 days too.

There is 2.2 in the I9000, XXJP1, XXJP2, XXJP3, XXJPC, and XXJPH. It seems to be only a matter of time before the 2.2 from the Europe firmwares reach our US devices by some of the dev's here.

What I have been thinking is maybe AT&T will get the GPS fix out to us, and at the rate they are going they may not be able to get 2.2 officially released by the time Gingerbread comes out. Maybe they are going to do incremental updates for 2.1 and are developing Gingerbread for the US based Galaxy's. Just a theory
[Captivate General] sskoll:

[Captivate General] Roxy136:
Did anyone else see this on Att website?

Answer Center | AT&T

1. 09/21/2010 - Firmware Over the Air (FOTA) software update changing software version from I897UCJF6 to I897UCJH7. A 12MB download is being pushed to Samsung Captivate owners starting on 09/21/2010 and will continue Tuesday through Friday at 15K customers per day until complete. This is NOT an operating system update. This update includes the following software updates:

* Preinstalled software - QuickOffice for Android will allow users to edit various Microsoft Office documents.

* Messaging - Exchange 2003 support, MMS and other messaging enhancements.

* Voice - Improved calling experience.

* Media - media scanning time improvements.
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
Yep. I'm seriously doubting that Froyo will be anytime soon now.

Added: Or GPS fix for that matter.
[Captivate General] galaxyjeff:
I think they could still roll out a the GPS fix or a Froyo/GPS combo within maybe a week. Verizon updated the Droid 1 with an update prior to rolling out Froyo all within about 1 weeks time. THis update could be a pre-Froyo update. :)
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
Yes but we're taking at&t. The same people that never admitted to a GPS problem in the first place.
[Captivate General] chasesavestheday:
lol @ you for thinking 2.2 was coming today. instead we got some stupid firmware that fails to install and/or if it does no one knows what it even fixed. cheers.
[Captivate General] r_3:
seems that most people that are rooted have the update issue. I am stock and it absolutely 100% fixed my gps.
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
I was rooted when I applied the update and have had no problems. I think the problem is the people that had a lag fix installed or bloatware removed.

And to the op, where they hell is Froyo? :eek:
[Captivate General] Shival:
It just goes to show that the AT&T Tech support people are not sure either when it comes to Froyo.

We'll have our answer soon as to if we are getting it by the end of September or even possibly late October.

Eitherway, we'll eventually get it I guess.

Im rooted and my update went fine but I actually had an ATT Tech support person push it to my phone. OTA and on EDGE.
[Captivate General] gremmie:
Did you remove bloatware? did it fail for you the first time since you had tech push it for you ?
[Captivate General] veener79:
I am looking at buying this phone in the next few day. GPS is the only real issue I am reading about. With this update should I hold off doing any tweeks to the phone till I am part of this update?
[Captivate General] max_warheads:
I would say immediately check for updates: Settings > Software Update > Check for Update

After that, Voodoo :)
[Captivate General] boodies:
You just won the Gayest Thread of the year award congrats! :D
[Captivate General] veener79:
Ok will do. I will have to look into Voodoo. :)
[Captivate General] kangi26:
I would say, do not believe the statements about 2.2 coming out Wed. His original posting was from last Tuesday. I don't believe it's even officially hit the European market yet(could be wrong).

I'd check your device, go to the phone dialer and type *#*#1234#*#*.

You'll see "Version"

PDA: I897UCJH6 or 7

Phone: I897UCJH6 or 7

CSC: I897ATTJH6 or 7 (Not sure on this one)

If the PDA/Phone are I897UCJH7, you have the most current Eclair(2.1) version from AT&T. Then decide if you want to be able to install "non AT&T approved" apps. If you do, you'll need to root and sideload. Take a look here...http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=761819

Also, IF you are having any problems with your GPS, take a look at Jupiter001 here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=789383&highlight=CLShortFuse's+GPS+Fix
[Captivate General] veener79:
Thank you. I have the most updated verson now. :) I did the update as soon as I walked out of the store.
[Captivate General] veener79:
I am guess no update this Wed ether. What a shocker with ATT and Samsung. LOL Even thought I have had this phone for only 2 days I have been with ATT and Samsung long enough with the epic when they mean next week they mean in 2 months. :(
[Captivate General] tysj:
I don't think anyone was expecting Froyo to be released on the Captivate before the i9000 which is slated for the end of October....
[Captivate General] Shival:

Get over it.

This thread is old now and people keep bringing it up lol. It turned out it was only the JH7 update.

[Captivate General] avgjoegeek:
Um.. and us Captivate people will be lucky to see an OTA release until Christmas. We will probably see a working Froyo custom ROM from here (or Cyanogen - best X-Mas present evar if that happens IMO!!!!!111oneoneone!!!!11) before we see one from ATT/Sammy-land.

This isn't being pessimistic.. just realistic. AT&T has to work with Samsung to make sure their bloatware works, and Samsung has to see if they can get the phone to boot up before they release it. Two giant corporations attempting to collaborate means a bunch of BS for us.

I work with ATT all day long on the telephony side of the world.. they can't even get a POTS line to stay up without a team of engineers having a billion "focus groups" to discuss the problem before the technician goes to the DMARC and re-punches two lil' wires back on the block.

What do you expect from a Refrigerator, washer/Dryer/ TV company who makes cellular phones as an "also ran"

If the cappy was not the best Android when I was due for an UG I would not have one. I would have an HTC, Moto, Nokia or other more cell phone centric company device.

That said. the Developers have had 2.2 ROMS out for months and I won;t be upgrading through ATT as nothing will be as good as the Froyo ROMS I have been flashing for the past few months. My phone will never see an "official" 2.2 version. I will be running Gingerbread soon..

Hahahaha!! Lmao!! I stopped waiting 2 months ago. It doesn't make a difference to me anymore now because another phone will be out with similar specs or even better by samsung and it will have 2.2 or 2.3 anyways. I already knew samsung is not fast on the updating department. I'm surprised they put the source code out as fast as they did. I say if people want froyo then their is a great variety of froyo roms to choose from. I recommend Axura's rom. It rocks. I really could careless for the AT&T froyo rom anyways. Can you say bloatware!! If people want it that bad the Armani galaxy s(same as the captivate) has 2.2 now. Just get the rom from that phone then thats is as official as it gets for now and probably better since hotspots should be enabled with that rom.

um which Wed is it supposed to be?

If you mean Froyo...there have been beta cracks of it out for a while. I ran 'em on my captivate ...they're not bad, no errors that I was aware of either.

Just search around on the forums and you'll find Froyo available.

However, if you want a ROM that's closer to Android itself (no crippleware, no hidden apps) try Cognition (search the forums for it! )
