From the samsungmobileus Twitter in reply to a question about Froyo on Vibrant:

@Dirksmoothe we are working on Android 2.2 for the current Galaxy S phones. It will be available this year.​

They will probably deliver on that date, although it might be a situation like December 31st is when the first OTA's roll out, with everyone else getting the update by January 31st. But that's good enough for us because it will be on XDA before too long after the first OTA's rolled out.
[Vibrant General] pulser_g2:
Moved to General as not development
[Vibrant General] dezvous:
I want froyo as much as the next guy but honestly I can wait patiently. This phone runs flawlessly as is. The only real benefit would be a couple apps, flash which will be nice but I probably won't use very often. Not to mention the performance increase but I'm completely content with where I'm at now.
[Vibrant General] boomerbubba:
From the Samsung press release:

Be aware that even for "North America," Samsung may be referring to the variants of the international I9000 that are sold in Canada. That is still close to the "Galaxy S" phones sold in Europe, and not so close to the U.S. carriers' modified phones.

The U.S. carriers have a lot of their own notions about their branded products. Both the hardware and firmware of the AT&T Captivate and T-Mobile Sprint are different from the Samsung I9000 reference model in at least some ways. (The Verizon Fascinate and Sprint Epic 4G are even further away in design, with their CDMA radios and differerent chipsets, including the GPS chip.)

In summary, all "Galaxy S" phones are not the same. There is much misleading information floating around about the international Galaxy S platform, from which naive observers erroneously generalize and derive predictions about the U.S. market.
[Vibrant General] mmas0n:
Because you're horribly impatient or because you think there will be less dumbassery in the G2 forums?

:D
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
What do you think will happen first, Froyo on the Vibrant, or a real root for the G2? Frankly, I don't know why you'd want to swap when there are already great ROMs out for the Vibrant and it's about to get much much better. G2 development is pretty stagnant right now while they wait for a permanent root solution.
[Vibrant General] cthach11:
Unless some genius decides to fry the chip that prevents root with a soldering iron to deactivate it, my vote is on the vibrant getting froyo.
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
Who cares about Froyo release??? It will come to your phone via OTA at some point, and there will be a plethora posts "OTA bricked my phone" - once you go custom, you would never look at the OTA/stock. There might be a bit of a delay getting a custom ROM after the OTA started rolling out, but the quality of work put into the custom ROM's by the devs here - do not forget to donate to keep the development fluent - exceeds OTA by several miles.

For all I care, my phone runs as smooth as butter now on a custom Eclair ROM, I don't think Froyo will be a great improvement, stock OTA Froyo that is.

P.S. Go ahead get that G2, and join the army of loosen hinges and constant reboots whenever your coverage degrades.

Yep, what he said.
[Vibrant General] teamreidy48:
+ 2 no froyo till 2012 oh wait thats the end of the world
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
This phone doesn't run flawlessly. Try hard to delude yourself, but even looking at it from the perspective of "it's an opinion," it sounds silly at best.

While FroYo may not have features that you crave, it does for many other users. Many of those features actually will help the phone approach "flawlessness," which it has continuously failed (quite convincingly) to achieve thus far.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Everyone doesn't root their phones.

Everyone doesn't come here to find out how to hack their phones, either (in b4 "TH3N WHY R U N XDA F0RUMZ?!?!!1?").
[Vibrant General] ndwgs:
+5 Oh yeah... I second that motion.
[Vibrant General] dezvous:
What do I gain out of deluding myself? I have literally never been upset, frustrated, or anything less than completely satisfied with the performance of this phone. Judging by what I see around here, your mileage may vary but I cannot comment on that and you most certainly cannot comment on my experience.

Let's just say this, if your Vibrant is performing slower than mine then I could understand, but if your Vibrant and mine actually do perform the same then I am unsure of what you are in search of.
[Vibrant General] kdf2883:
Think of it this way, we will probably get froyo from cyanogen before the g2 gets rooted! :D
[Vibrant General] Minker17:
Proper rooted.
[Vibrant General] lexluthor:
I love how OPs always think it's their post that's the definitive one, even when they are basing it on obviously not definitive information.
[Vibrant General] splat matt:
You sound silly :rolleyes:
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
Unless Samsung gets rid off their crippling RFS filesystem in favor of a real filesystem (ext3/4, or even yaffs2) your best option for "flawlessness" is to dip that phone into a jar of frozen yogurt.
[Vibrant General] Anthony B:
I totally agree, I have never had any problems with my vibrant. It has been working flawless for me.
[Vibrant General] ShinyBuddha:
Nice one Tommy...
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
This made me LOL.
[Vibrant General] reddragon72:
This is what I have been telling everyone since that frig'n thing was released. In "North america" (this does NOT mean JUST the US!!!) the base model I9000 was released to several carriers from Panama to Canada and those units will be updated not those of the four US carriers. Those are being worked on by each of there respected carriers and will be released when they are good and ready to give them to us. So this whole press message means nothing to us other then the base ROM and code has been released to the carriers to tinker and create there own versions.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ademejia:
I seen this online done on a vibrant
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z28james:
From what I read, it would take a bit more modification as the hardware placement is a bit different on the captivate where the vibrant is closer to the i9000 and you can simply snap the camera right in.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashman2002:
Please search the forum on this. It has Ben discussed before. Our phone does not have the placement capability of the vibrant. So the answer is no.

So i discovered the october ota update actually locked the Safesearch filtering option in the youtube app (it's all grayed out). Are there any ways to fix this besides just searching the vids thru the m.youtube site? It annoys me, cuz i can't find my favorite music video cuz it has 'Dickhead ' in the title!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokestack76:
Might try and uninstall it and get one from another build. Shocked others havent noticed. I dont use it much myself so never noticed. Just checked the one on froyo and its not locked.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappysw10:
Yep, AT&T blocked this. See below for the app from a Fascinate dump. I removed the AT&T one, pushed this using ADB. It's unblocked.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewdroid:
Thanks for that definitely worked to downgrade the youtube app, but did i lose the HQ button with the old version?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappysw10:
Never noticed this but yes. I never use the app anyway. You could always flash Froyo and use a browser with Flash.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewdroid:
Also I've seen this being an issue on HTC Evo on Sprint, and also one of Motorola's Droids on Verizon so is/was every carrier doing this? It's pretty pathetic. I mean I get the idea of SafeSearch for kids but to have that turned on for everyone? Oh no I might see a video with a swear word! I'm not a child, and the "Being a Dickhead's cool" song is hardly offensive anyway. PS funny song by the way.

1.6.20(E) seems to be having this in every version. I guess the E stands for "emasculated". None of the other Youtube versions seem have the (E).

When I ask Corporate America to become my parent or protect me from evil, you'll be sure to see it in the headlines. Until then, I have two great parents, who have taught me right from wrong and how to act in public and etc.. I don't need some third party to protect me from the evils of the internet.

Give me my uncensored internet! And thanks for the fix Cappysw10!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewdroid:
So I went back to 1.6.20(emasculated) edition and will use the work around to search youtube's mobile site instead of through the app. But what I'm planning to do is try to talk to Samsung about this because I want to see the response. The HTC people have been blaming Sprint about this. But I heard it was fixed in Froyo... so if we can only get that..

What I think actually happened is the guys that wrote the app somehow disabled the adjustment. It could actually be a bug, instead of willful censorship like we are assuming. I've had programs in windows that have grayed menu settings based on some faulty registry settings.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave the Knave:
There appears to be an update for the YouTube app in the market that fixes this now. It does allow you to alter the SafeSearch parameters. Check it out.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youngdom:

[G2 and Desire Z General] dronepop:
My assessment is that using the new SIM does not alleviate connectivity issues or random reboots.

Using my old SIM from my G1, I was having reception issues (bouncing between E and H and dropping app connections such as IM) and experiencing random resets, as many others are reporting as well.

The first person at T-mobile Customer Care told me that SIMs don't affect connectivity in any way; a few days later, one told me that changing to the new SIM would "definitely" solve my problems.

Changing the SIM had no affect whatsoever. I still have one reset per day on average, and connectivity bounces between E and H in a very laggy way. I can verify that the G1 handled the crossover from E to 3G more seemlessly, successfully reconnecting me quickly to my IM and so on without much hiccup. The G2 is not handling this as well, and doesn't seem to want to hold a connection as long as the G1 did in the same locations (e.g., my cube at work).

Disabling auto backup/restore does not solve these problems either.

Others suggest that these problems occur during times when the phone is hunting for a signal. While this might be the case, there are times when I definitely lose my signal (in the subway) and regain a weak one repeatedly...with no rebooting. So, I don't think we can definitively say that we've discovered the cause yet; though it "seems" like a radio issue, doesn't it?

I am hoping that an eventual OTA update will address this.
[Nexus One General] pwig:
I just checked and the phone is for sale again at quantities up to 10 and at $529.00

[Nexus One General] petep86:
where can i get one from??
[Nexus One General] MassimoM2:
it's bad.

no longer free overnite shipping.

and no satisfaction guarantee. totally no return.

the service of bright star co. really sucks. no one answers the support call. no call back. they emailed back really late and they were stopping shipping my order... i complained about it but they shipped ground when i was asking to cancel and order it again. dunno why they just can't give me a call back.

why google use this company, not allowing HTC to sell it directly from their web store? that company take margin and shipping from HTC to their warehouse. that'll keep nexus one more expensive than G2.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackson0121:
Right, im having various amounts of trouble with my galaxy s.

I bought it from my uncle brand new, it kept telling my that my sim couldnt connect to the network, so i had it unlocked. It still wouldnt work, then when i walked out of the building it decided to start working a few minutes later.

I then had to take out my battery for something then put it back in & boom, it stopped working again, now when i make calls it says not registered on network and when i try to connect it to the orange network it tells me that my sim cant connect to that network :( what do i do?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
i see 2 options

take it back to the store for warranty (yes you bough it from your uncle, he should still have the original invoice)

or you can flash your device back to stock, and do a factory wipe
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackson0121:
if i reset it to factory will it counteract the unlock?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
the sim lock should remain

besides there is an Android Market app for free, to unlock your phone again if it does gets locked
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackson0121:
so should a master reset sort it or? cuz i really am getting annoyed without a phone as i need it for business
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
do a master wipe first

if that still doesn't fix it, then a reflash via Kies or Odin should do the trick

if all that fails, then i'll take it back to the store for an exchange
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackson0121:
i dont understand why its doing this though?

it was working around 1 oclock, then when i had to take the battery out around half 5 6 ish it happened again? i dont understand what the issue is?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackson0121:
its been blacklisted by t mobile, any ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:

just tell them and show them your receipt

[HD2 General] tm515:
Hi guys

Received a sms message from T-mobile announcing the official release of ROM update. Check out the Tmobile HD2 site.

Edit:

Installed the update; found nothing new or exciting and now reverting back to Kumar's TMHD2 Touch Premium 2.9 WWE

For those who have flashed 2.08.HSPL to use unofficial ROMs, if you install the official release by USB your 2.08 HSPL will still be intact after the upgrade and you can go back to other ROMs with out any problem. That's what I did by reverting back to Kumar's ROM.
[HD2 General] DensoYamaha41:
I am curious too about what it is for, it would be cool if it was Windows 7.

I am running Energy Rom, and Radio 2.15.50.14, so I am assuming updating would be a bad idea.
[HD2 General] TechnoHippie:
I just got the sms message too - I'm downloading it right now from the t-mobile website.

Figures - I just put a different ROM on my phone - yesterday! hahaha
[HD2 General] ceo4eva:

[HD2 General] salo0oh20:
ya but there is versions for each of and i am confuse i dont know which one is better so if any one has any experience just feed me
[HD2 General] kcfong2:
Still no multitouch keyboard. Is this not possible with WM6.5? I just can't understand why, almost a year after initial release, HTC has not released a multitouch keyboard for WM6.5 on the HD2. Iphone and Android have had it forever, and it makes SUCH A BIG difference!
[HD2 General] tm515:
As so many forum members have said, perhaps for a million times, ROM preference is really an art of matching ones individual needs; I have been testing several ROMs, Energy, Kumar's, Omega etc. and currently find Kumar's ROM meeting my needs. To me Kumar's ROMs seem stable and do not have many programs that the chefs generally tend to add to their custom ROMs. I like my system to be as minimum and as stable as possible so that I can add and customize it as I want.

So the best thing is to try couple of Custom ROMs and see if you feel comfortable with the version of ROM you have installed.

Also, the latest version of ROM (both Official, Custom) are generally less buggy.

For those of us who do not want to go for the custom ROMs, I guess today's official release from T-mobile should be the one we should be upgrading to. T-mobile must have ironed out previous noted bugs in this new upgarde. For the brief moments that I played with the official new release; everything was smooth and working. But as I said earlier, I have now reverted back to Kumar's ROM.
[HD2 General] mmeyer4663:
It appears that today's 'Official" release is the same as the leaked release from a couple of weeks ago.

The size of the RUU_signed.nbh is exactly the same size. The date is different but I doubt that means anything significant.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] smeltn:
hey guys, I really don't like the keyclick sound that is Default for the Captivate. I don't want to turn it off, I would like to find/use a replacement.

Can anyone tell me how to replace this sound file? Also were is a good place to find replacements?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Dave the Knave:
I can tell you how, but not where to find a replacement.

1) Grab a terminal emulator or Root Explorer (I prefer Root Explorer myself for this one).

2) Navigate to /system/media/audio/ui

3) If I'm correct in assuming that you mean the keyclick sound from browsing around menus and such in the phone then the file you want is "Effect_Tick.ogg"

4) Copy it to your sd card, and then to your computer and edit/replace it as you see fit. Just make sure it's the same audio length as the old one. Save it as an .ogg file or it won't work on the phone.

5) When putting it back onto the phone, make sure you make a BACKUP of the old one. Just rename the one that's already there with a ".bak" at the end. Then paste in your editing file.

6) Reboot and test it out.

Hope that works. I made that up off the top of my head cause I'm not about to try it out myself cause I turned the sound off in the settings. But it should work as that's the usual method of replacing any file on the phone. Good luck, let me know how it works out for you.
