i got omnia (the first one, 16GB) and only managed to see one official firmware update, and that's it. Then it was all about Omnia II. Hopefully, they won't do the same with SGS and come up with SGS II anytime soon.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] celeronix:
I think you're wrong about that. I remember at least 5 official firmware updates :) The last one was DXIA5. And then DXID1 which one was unofficial :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gwwaters:
Has anyone tried to communicate with Samsung to talk about the RFS/lag issue? Perhaps trying to open a dialog may help. I understand that they are a large company, which usually means risk averse, but trying to raise the profile of the work done by a number of the members here may prove to turn much of the speculation into a better understanding.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] audino:
in august it was september now its october...

I wish my n1 back of this viewangle.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Prasad:
I agree! The objective shouldn't be to crib about what samsung hasn't done... Instead, we can constructively use our energy to communicate with samsung about the matter through some channel... After all, we ARE customers of their current flagship phone, and our opinions DO matter... In a big way!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] citizen.lambda:
Oh come on samsung, I was actually looking forward to getting a decent build of FroYo onto this phone.. They shouldn't be making these kinds of 'announcements' a week before their previous deadline. I guess CM is on it's way soon, so hopefully we'll have a better build by the time samsung actually releases their version.. The only reason I'm not selling this phone for a Desire HD or similar is the pure awesomeness of XDA :D and the prospect of Cyanogen or another modded ROM coming up with all the fixes we've been asking for.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rdy2go:
There was galaxy device abandoned by samsung, but not "s" :)

I wonder if cyanogen mod 6.1 will be ready sooner than stock rom...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] thunderteaser:
I couldn't agree more. I guess they have no other option than releasing a good firmware, by the way. I wouldn't quite like to find myself surrounded by tons of angry xda members equipped with burning sticks... :p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] OneDream:
Oh, this sucks. I was looking forward to start using a good working Froyo version. I guess there's not much we can do. We'll just have to wait another month.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Aery:
Do you guys want a crappy firmware or a very good, fast and stable firmware?

Let them do their work. If it takes till November, it takes till november.

I can wait, if it results in a much better firmware.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nCoder:
I'd rather get enhanced Eclair versions that early (buggy) Froyo.

If at least Samsung could say something... IMHO, I think everybody would understand if they admit that there are still problems to fix that are more important than releasing Froyo.

The only real advantage on Froyo for our SGS is the FlashPlayer. (moving apps to SD is not important with the 2GB of app storage). Looks like JIT has some impact as well, but this is not a real issue now.

Since I use Flash to watch TV and movies online, and there is at least a Browser that can do that without Flash, I prefer the main problems Fixed and then a proper Froyo release.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nCoder:
+1 Agree ;)

- SonyEricsson X10 is still 1.6 and they'll release much later 2.1...

- HTC is taking a lot longer to update their older models

- I don't even need to mention other brands

BTW: Samsung is considering updating our SGS to Gingerbread ;) (see samsungukmobile twitter)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] marvi33:
I was aware of Samsung bad software rep. But when i saw sgs specs i thouth, its imposible that they wouldnt putall possible resources in to dewelopment of software for this device.

Awsom hardware, huge marketing, they re pulling all stops on this device. Guess not.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] INeedYourHelp:
:confused: TBH, If I knew how crazy this froyo business was going to be with samsung, I would have just gotten the droid x (which is officially getting froyo tomorrow).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rdy2go:
Good news, little more patience...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nonreviad:
Am I the only one wondering why they aren't pushing an OTA update?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] efegue:
It will be a crappy firmware anyway because of the RFS Filesystem.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nCoder:
We're saying that we don't mind to wait a bit more for Froyo if they prioritize these issues (First fix the problems, then, release Froyo with all problems solved - including a better FS) ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nCoder:
I had a i780 and a Omnia2 and, because I'm satisfied with the quality and support, I didn't have any doubt in choosing Samsung Again.

I had very bad experiences with HTC though...

No brand is perfect, but based on my experience, Samsung offers much better value and is more reliable and open than others.

BTW: Now, this device actually has a lot of support in XDA developers - i.e.

1. long life to the SGS.

2. easy to fix issues, even if Samsung doesn't prioritize them now, the xda community will find solutions and make them available (do you know how HTC reacted to the DEMAND of 3D drivers?)

3. Open source available for customizations, fixes, updates, ...

4. New devices from Samsung with similar hardware (i.e. Galaxy Tab) that even if Samsung doesn't release Gingerbread for SGS, we we'll have it for sure

BTW:

long extensions bug - Fixed by Samsung

GPS issue - almost perfect, but still improving by Samsung

Lagging - getting better even without LagFixes - Most likely soon a definitive solution (keep in mind that these kind of changes require a lot of QA before release - gps fix is easier to QA)

FM not stereo - BUG identified, a matter of time to get a fix (I suppose doesn't have as much priority as the others)

My Omnia2 still gets frequent ROM updates from Samsung... now, the importance of the SGS for Samsung is much much more ;)

From your words I suppose you don't have a SGS... (paradigm shift?)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mbr01:
I still have good hopes for september. They did the same trick when delivering the phones. They were prosponed to the end of the month with constant delays, and then suddenly haveway trough the month it was already sent to me. Funny guys at samsung :).

But i dont like hearing everbody screaming how bad everthing is with this phone, cause its probably the best phone out there and does almost everything as we/I wish. You are all over reacting, so there you go.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] odyssey61:
If Curio, RyanZA, Tayutama to name a few can create lagfixes you would think a multibillion dollar company like Samsung could do it as well.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Zabivelli:

Not for all countries! Most of us will get it in 24 hours from now!

Moved thread to General section
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kanemari:
yeah you can see that HTC and Motorola have pretty much gone all in with Android, but Samsung is still dabbling with Bada, which is complete stuttering crap.

but if they make it work it would allow them to generate revenue with paid 'samsung only' apps, etc. the samsung app store has a lot more Bada apps that it does for Android.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Schmich:
I rather have a crappy 2.2 than the current crappy 2.1!

The gps with double personality disorder and the lag is killing me. If they release it in October it better be with a new filesystem and a perfect GPS. If not, Samsung can stick their ****phones elsewhere.

Their reply:

India usually gets firmware late.. So this does not mean the rest of the world won't get it earlier!

Bet those Korean engineers don't understand what were saying
[Galaxy S I9000 General] brett.darnell:
+1

After I fixed the lag with the 1 click app from the market my phone is perfect except for one really annoying thing...the battery full notification that wakes me up at night.

Fix that and Im happy with eclair. Well at least the Aus optus latest offering.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] karanits:
the release for India was meant for Sept. they changed their stance just yesterday. I asked them on 13th sept.(now they have deleted the said tweet)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] irenic:
since posted by India, Spain and Romania, Samsung from other countries such as US and UK are yet to reply or comment on it.

i guess if it's true, with the Desire HD coming in October, many disappointed Galaxy S owners will jump ship!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] thechamp007:
Its Good that every one is hopefull, but I seriously doubt that realising firmware late will any how impact on quality. :mad:

There may be few more fixes etc but we will not see MAJAR performance boost unless thet ditch their RFS and optimize JIT for hummingBird like its for snapdragon
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dakine:
Pure speculation but it seems to me that these firmware leaks are just ways to get feedback from users. Since jmh was met with great dissapointment from so many of us maybe samsung decided to hold off for a better froyo build. Another month delay could mean they are fixing the filesystem. Wishfull thinking i know.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] irenic:
the thing is, Samsung is not transparent of where they are right now. They can release official Froyo first build that might not fixed everything yet but at least we the customers know there will be another builds coming later that will fix certain issues from time to time. Just see how Google does to Nexus One.

We want something official from Samsung.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] satanatos:
Me being one of them for sure ! I won't stay with such big company, that rushes phones only to abandon them and their owners later.. and SGS is not a cheap brick to say , so if they do that - I'm off to get an HTC ticket
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Prasad:
I really hope it doesn't come to that... Though if it does, I might move on to htc as well...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] miki4242:
Sigh... What exactly do you want Samsung to do besides tweet, blog, Facebook, update their website, etc. about something that's not for general consumption yet? Send out priority mail mass mailings to everyone who wants gimme gimme? Appear on the Tonight Show and talk about the latest kernel source tree commits?

Because this is a development matter, you will find the news where the developers hang out. Look for Git repositories, mailing lists, IRC channels, etc.

Well I'm feeling in a good mood today, let's give some pointers to where the REAL devs hang out...nah I guess the wrong people will start bugging those poor bastards, keeping them off their work.

When the update does come, I have rooted my Galaxy. Will I just be able to update through Kies still without any worry of data loss or bricking?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Prasad:
It is recommended that you remove any lag fix and unroot your phone before flashing the official new firmware... Whenever it arrives..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rdy2go:
If you want to be on the safe side wipe everything and flash the latest official rom, for me it's jm1.

Don't root, don't lag fix using custom kernel. Just wait. I know, it's hard not to play with the device for some time :)))
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Adevem:
do note that @Samsung_Mobiles is quote for quote " This is the official India account of Samsung Mobile. "

europe might still get it early. i hope (:

do change the thread title to "[INDIA]Official froyo to be available end of next month" to avoid confusion and sustain that bit of hope for everyone else. lol.

I waited a long time when i had my desire, got the froyo, but wanted bigger and better screen, for the gaming experience.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] andybak:
I tried something similar out of a perverse sense of optimism:

Hi,

There is a large community of technically experienced users trying to solve problems with the Samsung Galaxy S.

For example: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=748894

It seems crazy to me that these people are working in the dark to try and fix unacknowledged issues with your flagship mobile device. Their loyalty and dedication to your products is quite surprising but the need for this work is spreading to the wider community and cannot be good for your reputation.

I understand fixes are probably being worked on but there is a wall of silence on what bugs are known and acknowledged and which are not as well as plans and timescales for fixes.

Furthermore there is no sharing of technical knowledge which undoubtably could be beneficial both ways.

I'm reaching out to your department in the hope that you could provide a contact within Samsung engineering who would be prepared to liaise with the community in any form. Even some limited communication via Twitter could be enormously beneficial to your corporate image amongst an influential part of the smartphone community.

yours hopefully,

Andy Baker

Lazy corporate form letter. Quite shameful but as far as I can see the modern notion of 'engaging with the community' has not managed to penetrate their prehistoric corporate hide. It doesn't sound like there is ever going to be a Samsung equivalent of Matt Cutts at Google, John Nack at Adobe etc. etc.

If anyone can get a contact to someone within Samsung with half a braincell - maybe their PR department could be kicked into giving a human response?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] snaff:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] pravk:
I dont think they will take a month to come up with different versions for different regions unless they are not sure what they are releasing.

So if they are not confident, they will release to more tolerant regions as pilot, gather feedback, fix bugs and later relase to others.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sargasso:
On the dutch site androidworld.nl there is an article explaining how to prepare for the official froyo update. In the responses underneath there are two people claiming to have asked Samsung Benelux about the release date. They both got the answer it will arrive before the end of this month!

Let's hope so.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pravk:
Lets keep our fingers crossed. If it comes early well and good otherwise no other option than to wait.

Hello everybody,

I recently bought htc tattoo and im total noob in android stuff so please dont laugh at me :)

I recently rooted my phone, installed cm6 rom, now tried sp-froyo 2.2. I read on these forums that theres difficult situation with themes for tattoo model so i layed down my arms for getting one. Anyway, today i installed this new rom sp-froyo 2.2, downloaded ADW launcher and went to market on my phone. I accidently saw few themes for adw launcher and decided to try one. I downloaded and installed adw elegant theme and it worked. the home screen and the launcher changed. I got confused a little bit tbh, cuz i thought that themes doesnt work for tattoo. Should i be worried that something wrong could happen ? Or something else ? Btw, phone seems to be a little bit laggy after i installed this theme.

Thanks :)
[Click Themes and Apps] JanLukasBosse:
Sry, I am too lazy for a full explanation, but with your Tattoo is all okay and normal. The Cm6 Themes are deeper on the system located as the ADW-Themes, so they don't work.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cbeck:
Anyone here using scummVm on the tilt2 or tp2? My problem is that I cannot figure out how to get the screen orientation to work properly when the keyboard is open. What I mean is, anywhere I click, the cursor shows up at the mirror location on the device if the keyboard is not closed. It doesn't matter If I have the screen orientation lefthanded (default on this device) or flipped so it is right-side up with the keyboard open. Very frustrating.This isn't too much of a problem for point-n-click, but I would like to map keys, and opening the keyboard inverts all click points on the screen so the game becomes unplayable.

Currently the only workaround I can find is to have the keyboard open before starting scummvm (which is contrary to the tutorial). Closing it and opening it during gameplay brings back the original issue. I'd really like to find a way to open and close the keyboard without having issues. I'm hoping someone else with a tp2 has encountered this issue and knows how to deal with it!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] blacksheep242:
Hey folks! I'm one of the many who regretting giving WM another chance... So I decided to try to get Froyo 2.2 running on my HD2. All works VERY well (I used Darkstone's ROM).

In all honesty I should have said MOST works well. Everything works wonderfully except for:

1. The phone application because:

If the call does go through, I get the infamous robot sound and;

2. Sounds:

I have none. No ringtones, no alert tones, nothing. Another known issue.

Here is my dilema...I read about workarounds for the issues above (mainly folks are saying to try different radios (like 2.10.50.26) and to use a proven ROM over WM like Miri's). The big problem is that Sense is locked up on my phone. It stays at the "Launching HTC Sense" forever. As it is it is tricky to get to the file explorer to launch these Android ROMs without the screen constantly turning off.

So there I am. I am stuck with a WM phone that doesn't launch Sense and is crippled and locks up as a result but got Android ROMs to work but with no sound or phone capabilities. Kinda blows, really.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

If it helps, I have Cookies ROM running on the WM side of the phone. I cannot uninstall it since clicking on "Settings" in menu does absolutely nothing except for highlighting the icon.

P.S. I downloaded a radio that is supposed to help out my problem but don't know how to install that. Any help on this would be great as well.

P.S.S. I do run the CLRCAD.exe before running HARET.exe when trying these ROMS. But still no sound.

Thanks in advance folks!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] juggs:
Read this. To get you familiar with flashing things.

Have you tried a hard reset to deal with the Sense problem? With the phone off, hold the Volume up AND down buttons, press the power button for a second and release it. You will get a confirmation and instructions how to proceed.

Hi to you all

i live in Israel and here the iden provider (mirs) don't have MMS server and use only SMS. the local i1 that mirs are selling can send and receive SMS.

i have two i1 that i bought in the USA and got them Rooted. my problem is that i can only receive SMS but not send. when i try to send, it is sending as MMS - that's not supported here.

my question is:

where are the SMS/MMS settings, on the i1 or on the SIM?? is it app thing??

[TG01 Themes and Apps] paroariax:
Hi

I've had a good search through the forums, but couldn't find anything to do what I need.

I'm looking for a way to re-map the "Home" soft key on the TG01 to run an app (for example TaskFacade). I'm aware of AE Button Plus but that only seems to be for hardware buttons, and also I think $8 is a little steep for what it does. So is there another app that can remap the soft key? I'd settle for a registry hack, but I'd like one that doesn't go away after a soft reset.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
