It's a totally valid concern, and it may be that it's not the phone for you.

Not sure how much more integrated it would be with Google Voice, but it can already compose e-mails, SMS's or any other texts by voice, and dial a contact by voice - by clicking the mic button in the Google Search bar and saying "Call SoAndSo".

And, if I'm not mistaken, Google Voice Actions is a feature of Android 2.2, so the phone WILL get it with the update.
[Fascinate General] iofthestorm:
I actually think punkkaos is also looking at GB along with mrbirdman. And probably jt too. I think they don't like to publicize their every move because it gets people easily excited. mrbirdman posted a few tweets about Gingerbread booting and all of a sudden everyone got excited about GB. I think we're in decent shapre for future community updates and if I were to get a phone on Verizon that's out now, it'd be the Fascinate (oh wait - that's what I got!) because of the unlocked bootloader and slightly more modern hardware than the Incredible. But if I was in the market now, I'd wait a couple months for the next gen to hit. I doubt Samsung's going to support their phones any more than they do now, but at least if you get the next gen Samsung it'll probably get at least one update further than the Fascinate does officially. Plus SAMOLED+ looks even more amazing than SAMOLED.
[Fascinate General] Bwangster12:
The thing I don't get, I've read a lot of articles from the Dec-Jan time frame stating that Samsung India Twitter confirmed that the Galaxy S will get Gingerbread. Would Samsung release an update and then not release it AT ALL for the US? I mean, I know 2.2 is already over there, but it'll EVENTUALLY come here.

I've looked all over for information on how to use Voltage Control (or setCPU) to OC (overclock) my system as I am wanting to download the dragon v3.1 kernel... (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=922510) . I just don't understand how you are supposed to "play around" with the OC/UV settings until it is maximized... i don't even know what UV stands for? sorry, i'm a newb when it comes to this... any help would be appreciated.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dglowen23:
All u do is download an OC kernel and with setcpu u change ur settings to over 1000 mhz... So wit the dragon kernel jus download the OC version, then open setcpu or anything that allows u to change those settings and it will be overclocked.. The only work u do is flash and change settings they did all the hard stuff for u already

[Vibrant General] richiehd:
For the longest time, Mini Kies said "Unregistered Device". I plugged it in now, and it says...

Firmware Version: Latest Firmware

Firmware Upgrade: 11/01/22

Does that mean that my device will be able to be upgraded on the 22nd? (tomorrow)

Will others please check their Kies?
[Vibrant General] reddragon72:
I checked mine this morning and again just now and still says unregistered device. But I am also sporting KA6 so that may be the issue.

What rom you running?
[Vibrant General] samnada:
Just checked and mine says what yours does.

Firmware Version: Latest Firmware

Firmware Upgrade: 11/01/22

For whatever that means.

(I'm on pure stock, unrooted JI6)
[Vibrant General] richiehd:
I am running stock JI6. This device has never been rooted or flashed. It was a replacement when my old one broke, it came prebuilt with J16 on it.
[Vibrant General] Five0nIt:
Where can I find the kies that works with the vibrant? The one I found on Google said my device was not compatible.
[Vibrant General] Zylograth:
I am also running KA6 and get the unregistered device on mini kies.
[Vibrant General] presence06:
On Twitter there's a lot of talk about Froyo being pushed via Kies rather than OTA so.. who knows. No confirmation on there either if anyone has gotten it.
[Vibrant General] richiehd:
Well, on my old device I used Mini Kies to get JI6 because it seemed like forever to receive it OTA. Hopefully they do it the same way this time with froyo.
[Vibrant General] doug2060:
Im just odin'ed back to stock. When I did kies gave me the latest firmware update which restored my phone to like it was when I got it a few weeks ago. Now kies says unregistered device. Is this normal? Will I be able to update to the new firmware?

Update: Now showing I have latest version 11/01/2010.

I have Kies for the Vibrant but because i have a 64 bit windows 7 i cant look at my phone on it. It just force closes and sammy says kies does not work on 64 bit systems
[Vibrant General] emonero:
That's not true...I'm using Win7 64 bit and I use Kies mini and it works.
[Vibrant General] presence06:
get a VM and load 32bit Windows and try it. I couldn't get Kies to work on 32Bit Win7 but it worked in Windows XP.

[Vibrant General] presence06:
No Windows only

Well there we have it I guess.

no Froyo OTA, only via Kies Mini.
[Vibrant General] richiehd:
Will Kies Mini work on my Mac?

No. Kies Mini works on the PC only.

You might have to run a virtual machine, or go to a friends house.

I just plugged in to Mini Kies and am now downloading an "Upgrade."

Edit: Yep it's here. KA6
[Vibrant General] rorycs:
It is automatically updating my version of mini-Kies, I suppose I will have the update available after it completes...
[Vibrant General] cashyftw:
Receiving the update for KA6 but now theres a KA7 leak.. I'm so confused

-speed demon
[Vibrant General] spiz516:
I'll post a screen shot when its done... currently in download mode applying the update.
[Vibrant General] Zylograth:
Just Odined back to JFD and when that is done I will Kies to KA6, supposedly LOL

leaked KA6 has a build date of 1/18/11 and if the official is 1/19/11 might be some difference, I doubt it, but hey might as well be official LOL
[Vibrant General] presence06:
anyway this will be put into an update.zip soon? I'm at work can't get stupid kies to install because of restrictions.
[Vibrant General] swehes:
Well. Not everyone uses Mini Kies or know what it is. Power Users are more likely to know what Mini Kies is. Also on the screenshot from T-mobile this update is voluntarily which means it is most likely to shut us up. Then when they have finally fixed the last few things they will send it out to everyone OTA.

my 2 cents.
[Vibrant General] spiz516:
Make sure you Odin to JI6 after JFD just to be safe.
[Vibrant General] richiehd:
I just had an error at the end up the update and it made me pull the battery and start again. It's redoing the firmware download but now my screen says "safe mode". LOL?
[Vibrant General] presence06:
....HOWS THE BATTERY LIFE EVERYONE!

[Vibrant General] spiz516:
Well I'm now running the official FroYo update. Has the new apps like TMobile TV and WiFi Calling as well as the colored icons in the Settings.

No Deals! JFD to KA6 via Mini Kies! I cannot be denied!

Anything else different that anyone noticed so far from the Kies/Official and the leaked KA6?
[Vibrant General] Zylograth:
about to boot now, any word on the stock android keyboard? I really prefer that one
[Vibrant General] presence06:
Get the Gingerbread KB, it's better I think than Android.. but you have to tweak it a little, I think anyways.
[Vibrant General] spiz516:
Unfortunately it only comes with Swype and the awful Samsung keyboard. Hopefully someone can root this real quick so we can put the Gingerbread one on there.
[Vibrant General] Zylograth:
I had KA6 rooted in the leaked version using superoneclick but don't you have to flash the GB KB via CWR?
[Vibrant General] presence06:
Don't remember needing root to install Gingy kb... ?
[Vibrant General] reddragon72:
I already have KA6 on my phone and Kies is telling me that I have the latest version 11/01/19.

So I guess I'll forgo all this updating because I really don't feel like ODIN back to JFD then JI6 then KA6 jsut to get what I already have, especially since KA7 just surfaced, but I bet JK7 is 2.2.1
[Vibrant General] spiz516:
I though it needed to be flashed via CWR, but I can't remember where the link is.
[Vibrant General] Charpie:
Booting up now!
[Vibrant General] Zylograth:
I was able to Odin to JFD and then Kies to KA6 with no problems
[Vibrant General] biakuya_pr:

the official froyo has mobile ap? if not i wil definetly wait for roms based update.
[Vibrant General] darkyer:
do i need to unroot to get the upgrade?
[Vibrant General] presence06:
Nope. just download the APK install and then go into the Local and text and select gingy kb and done. :D

but didn't KA5/KA6 have mobile AP or it didn't work? :confused:

Not sure if was that post or it was from Androidspin or one of the blog sites. But same apk though.
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
so the official froyo is ka6?
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Apparently. Anyone knows if KA6 stock allows you to set the home screen in the TouchWiz launcher, and whether it comes with counters on the Messaging, Email, Gmail, GTalk app icons?
[Vibrant General] robo21:
Yes it is. KA6

Still telling me my phone can't be upgraded. I guess they think we all have fiber connections. Can't spend all day ****ing with this program.

Why doesn't it just cache the files it downloads?

EDIT: Yea 4th time telling me not upgradeable. Oh well, it'll be gone in a week anyways no biggie :P

i odin'd back to stock and mini kies said ka6 was available for update and it just finished!!
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
lmao. then came ka7.
[Vibrant General] Yuvan:
what is KA7? I only see KA6...should I wait till Kies Mini shows KA7?

Thanks
[Vibrant General] epakrat75:
Yes, just install Windows through Bootcamp or the like. There ya go, closest thing you're likely to get. :D

When an ODIN Tar becomes available you can flash that through the Mac Heimdall or just use ClockworkMod with one of the available KA6 / KA7 releases right on your phone. That way PC/MAC doesn't even matter.

Supposedly, it's a later release that hasn't been pushed through Kies yet (and may not be). Changes unknown. If you want KA7, flash through other means.
[Vibrant General] hskhenry:
The kies mini keep saying the phone is unregistered lol..

Anyone knows how to deal with this?
[Vibrant General] epakrat75:
Have you registered your Vibrant's IMEI # with Samsung at their website? If not, that could be why.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
That was happening before the update was up for me.

If you're using a leaked or unofficial ROM that may be the issue.

Also:

Turn on USB Debugging before you plug the phone in to update. It will avoid the potential issue of the upgrade failing in Kies several times in a row.

I turned on USB Debuggign and now my phone is updating (in Download mode now getting it from the computer).
[Vibrant General] Tynen:
I odin'd back to stock. Plugged in to kies and it's upgrading to froyo. :)

why is there a ka7 leak? maybe it's better..

N1 ftw.
[Vibrant General] dianaramadani:
So I have a rooted (but no custom ROM) running JI6 and was able to install MiniKies fine.

My problem is that I get to the point where it says "Update available" (and it shows the update version number), and I click "Upgrade phone"...and nothing happens. I don't get the caution statement; that screen temporarily disappears, and then comes right back.

I've tried searching on Google and my Google-fu fails me. Any idea? (If someone says "odin back to stock", I'm going to have to have some idea what that means; Odin to me is a proper noun, not a verb. ;) )
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
I might try that. I think I'm gonna factory reset later today and reset up everything. The update changed mount points and whatnot and it's getting on my nerves, Lol.

Just don't feel like reinstalling and updating 30 apps right now (and rather do it when I'm in the HSPA+ market here, since the 3G is like 4x faster than my home internet).

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supaphreek:
Thanks for the suggestion but that costs 6 per month :P and to be honest... doesnt even look nice. Id like a program like google voice :P one thats an actual app

Oh well, canada doesnt have it yet :(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clemmie:
Well, the app would still have to get access to your voicemail, which would require data and/or airtime to access the voicemail box. $6 is definitely outrageous but it's probably cheaper, but it's probably cheaper if you already have a voicemail plan of some kind. When I reupped my contract to get the captivate they added my voicemail and txt plan for free, why not call them and see what they are willing to do?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gothpunk4christ:
I don't know if this would differ in Canada or not, but in the US we have access to a program called "Youmail" and it's free so long as you don't use any extra features. It acts as a caller ID, and you can click the name and play the audio directly. All it required of me was to set up an email and a PIN. If you want voice to text it'll cost you.
