It would be cool if the update was available. Does anybody knows when it will be ready?

What is then the meaning of that the update first will be available for T-Mobile?
[Galaxy 3 General] debaj:
Rumor has it that it will be available in February. But this is not official information.
[Galaxy 3 General] spikywits:
its february, and we are yet to see any official firmware for i5801 asia.
[Galaxy 3 General] Maulik_monti:
even i tooo. i think we should take some steps against Samsung so that they can gice at-least some proper support and updates
[Galaxy 3 General] GuestK0069:
waiting is killing .
[Galaxy 3 General] satyamsit:
I am almost ready with one buyer of this phone at a good price.. will wait for 4-5 days more.. otherwise i am migrating to HTC wildfire.. this was my one of the worst experience with mobile phone ... certainly not with android (it rocks as usual) ... but the pathetic Samsung.
[Galaxy 3 General] debaj:
February still has 18 days to go. :-)
[Galaxy 3 General] leocrow:
Does anyone know that if and when the update comes out, will we be able to root our phones then? or should i hurry up and root it while there's still time?
[Galaxy 3 General] debaj:
I am sure that sooner or later there will be a solution for rooting. The leaked ROMs were rooted days after the release.
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
I don't think you can upgrade when your phone is rooted. But can't we use z4root to root in froyo?
[Galaxy 3 General] jovt:
Froyo was said in February, but some said that in April. When will the Asian version Froyo out. My bad English
[Galaxy 3 General] peldax:
In my country Czech Republic, was froyo released, but stupid kies dont know that, i think. I hate samsung, their firmwares and softwares. Next phone will be nexus or htc. I am sure i will never buy samsung.
[Galaxy 3 General] wess786:
This means you've been to the store?
[Galaxy 3 General] JeroenGijselaar:
Nope, asked it on the tmobile_webcare twitter... My brother went to the Phone House and they said the update is standing on their server but waiting for approvement to release... The Phone House thinks it will come within a week :) But that's just another speculation... :(
[Galaxy 3 General] wess786:
Lets hope for the best result. :D From now on I'll check Samsung KIEs everyday.
[Galaxy 3 General] wess786:
If there is no update at the end of next week I'm going to the phone house (store)
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
One day after the release of the sourche codes... I hope it'll be availeble in kies soon!
[Galaxy 3 General] anant.0097:
Okay...one question if people of hong kong have got the update why is it held back for the rest........ the asian firmware for i5801 will be the same for the entire asia.......won't it?.......other firmwares delay can be understood as their phones are locked to certain service providers..... Eagerly waiting for the update as now it is just a matter of time.........but more excited as to what the developers will be doing with them.......especially lestat and krillos.....

I think Samsung HK is going to release Froyo for 5801 after promotion period of Ace and Mini. As teh user manual is updated to Froyo version. Update will not be too far away from that.

Sent from my GT-I5801
[Galaxy 3 General] wess786:
I'ma check it today! :D
[Galaxy 3 General] iksrats:
Still nothing today in Kies for Belgium
[Galaxy 3 General] radmor11:
Hey guys, watch this

http://www.android-hilfe.de/samsung-galaxy-3-i5800-forum/84053-custom-xxjpl-rom.html

anyone want to check this? ;) Waiting is over?
[Galaxy 3 General] JeroenGijselaar:
Nope the waiting isn't over :P The update is still not in kies...
[Galaxy 3 General] pokosik:
Downloaded and installed:)
[Galaxy 3 General] radmor11:
I know it's off topic but what about that lag fix? How does it works in this version? It takes space from my sd card? How many megabytes?

Did you install it simply as 'one file' rom and that's it?

Please write something more after testing.
[Galaxy 3 General] slyv1:
Anyone tried the official Froyo from Samsung's opensource site?
[Galaxy 3 General] pokosik:
Avvailable space 34mb, installed as one package, it didn't take any space from sd card
[Galaxy 3 General] radmor11:
Hm, you mean there is only 34mb free on the device? Only 34mb to install apps on phone? I know that you can use data2sd now but 34mb is ridiculy small
[Galaxy 3 General] pokosik:
i think it is just lagfix bug...
[Galaxy 3 General] radmor11:
So there is no way to check available real free space on device? Maybe I will wait for clean jpl without any customisation
[Galaxy 3 General] pokosik:
Yap, i think so too. Now reflashing phone to appolo rom.
[Galaxy 3 General] radmor11:
Since I don't know german language I cannot ask them to upload clean version. I hope that someone will upload it today
[Galaxy 3 General] RRenaRR:
So, is it already available on KIES?

thanks ;)
[Galaxy 3 General] JeroenGijselaar:
Nope still nothing :(
[Galaxy 3 General] :
hmmmm :(
[Galaxy 3 General] dyz312:
why there isnt a 2.2 for china
[Galaxy 3 General] sheron:
the update won't be available until may or june at minimum

the replacement has already been announced - galaxy fit with 2.2 froyo

all phones already released are in 2.2 froyo with higher models to be released with 2.3 gingerbread
[Galaxy 3 General] protomank:
And you got this information from where? Or are you just getting by a hintch?

Samsung already told that the update was sent to carriers, so they did not held it just because of the new models launch, so you are misinformed.
[Galaxy 3 General] radmor11:
Ok, a guy from that german forum wrote the he is going to upload clean jpl rom in the evening. Tomorrow is going to be testing day

(thank google for their chrome translation plugin :) )
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
And when will it be availeble in kies?:confused:

(in Holland?:o)
[Galaxy 3 General] Damnzel:
I was tired of waiting for Samsung to update and bought the new galaxy ace, which was released with 2.2 already. They also affirmed a 2.3 update when available, I'm curious if it's gonna take just as long.

PS: If you consider never to buy a Samsung again and switch to HTC, they have just the same update politics.
[Galaxy 3 General] HaWaN:
that's why i want to buy "Google Nexus 3" when it'll be released :)

Updates straight from Google, not any other modified sh*t :)
[Galaxy 3 General] Damnzel:
true ... true :)
[Galaxy 3 General] vc926:
GOOGLE's product and products with Google do have difference. Nexus S is sooooo more attractive than other Galaxies. Need to make space for Fit and Gio, no please. Don't make this piece of crap being too outdated....

Sent from my GT-I5801
[Galaxy 3 General] protomank:
Google stataed that their iobjective with Nexus series is not to sell phones, but to show to developers how things should be done, including fast updates!

But looks like neighter HTC, from Nexus One, nor Samsung from Nexus S, learned anything.
[Galaxy 3 General] Damnzel:
Don't need to tell me. Problem is: the Nexus models will always be high end products and too expensive if you're looking for something in the range of the Galaxy 3. Sadly devs tend to concentrate largely on those devices, which i experienced with the legendary HTC Hero ;). It did have a stable Froyo ported since I cannot even remember when ...
[Galaxy 3 General] protomank:
The solution would be to find a way to isolate drivers in the rom, and that google help by keeping a stable API/ABI for drivers.

That way, you could extract the drivers from a rom, like 2.1, and place those in a vanilla 2.3 without much effort. Maybe google could just pay hardware nanufactuers to ship open-source drivers also.
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
I agree but samsung doesn't makes the roms worse...

This is what they call 4 march? Pff...
[Galaxy 3 General] jazux:
What??? Samsung said that FROYO SOURCES will be available 4th march..

. They didnt say anything about the rom.
[Galaxy 3 General] protomank:
Yes, 4th was about the sources, but here in brazil they did said something about the rom: "sent to carriers, they will deliver it to you sometime soon". Sure enought, soon is a very relative word...

[Galaxy 3 General] protomank:
I wonder if brazilian portuguese is included?

previous roms only had portuguese from portugal.

Correct... only portugues available...

[Galaxy 3 General] wess786:
That means we got to root our G3..
[Galaxy 3 General] JeroenGijselaar:
That mail is about the I5801, and I think it's not true... The update for the I5800 is definitely comming so I think that one will come also... I've sent a total of 4 mails to Samsung and they replied all **** to me... So we can't trust their mails!

They even said to me Android 2.2 does not exist and I have to contact Google to ask when 2.2 will be released... :S
[Galaxy 3 General] protomank:
In Brazil the model is I5800L, here is the warning on Samsung site about the models with updates that will be available:

Rough translation:

You can update your mobile phone at home in your computer throught Kies.

Important: There are only updates for models with carriers that have freed updated. See that the same basic model can not be upgreadable depending on the carrier for witch is is customized. If your phone already have the ast version, it will not be updated.

This started to be show in the site in the end of february, right when the updated was suposed to be sent from Samsung to carriers around the globe.
[Galaxy 3 General] wess786:
Thank god! :D

I really don't know why they are replying things like that. Samsung, if you want to reply, reply correct.
[Galaxy 3 General] :
They are giving heart attack :mad:
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
Want a release!...
[Galaxy 3 General] satyamsit:
We should not be worried about these. At max we will shift to other mobile phones after the pathetic support from Samsung. But the real worries are for them in the long run. They will loose customer for sure going forward.
[Galaxy 3 General] RyDeR`:
When will we get the final update? PLEASE?:mad:
[Galaxy 3 General] ghpk:
I think Samsung is not going to give us official FROYO for galaxy3,

as they are known for leaving their products un-supported at jet speeds.

Secondly, as Galaxy3 was affordable priced handset they may not be willing to spend lots of $$ on this handset, they would rather spend their developers' time on other high end models which are sold on premium pricing.

After so many months of wait, i finally installed "Kyrillos_ROM_v2.3"

and i must say the phone is better and smoother.

those who wanna try can go ahead with the available roms, or wait for samsung to give a update when you would get bored of this handset already.
[Galaxy 3 General] protomank:
As Samsung Brazil already public stated that Froy is indeed coming to Galaxy 3 (first in decenber, but it was delayied), and 2.2 is already with the carriers... maybe:

a) Samsung India is simply wrong

b) Samsung India do not want to adapt/translate Froyo, thus, it won't be released there, but in other countries it will
[Galaxy 3 General] Lighius:
I hope the carriers dont take too long to release the update...
[Galaxy 3 General] :
i will wait till april after that time for custom roms
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
I really hope it'll realese this holiday!
[Galaxy 3 General] wess786:
Who doesn't?
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
Some little old granny that hasn't got a computer and bought the phone because she could call with it. But then when she had the phone she didn't know how it worked and brought it back to the store...

No, indeed everyone wants the update...
[Galaxy 3 General] dbrafael:
I can't update it on kies, probably it's a mistake
[Galaxy 3 General] wess786:
probably you can't update yet.
[Galaxy 3 General] shr33kant:
To be honest, I'm getting a htc desire asap. I'm sick of this phone and Samsung's inability to support it.
[Galaxy 3 General] :
There are several people who have already done so... Like a little child on christmas day who can't wait to open the gifts.

These guys seem to have quite a lot of money as they can afford an even more expensive phone just because the other one's support is crap ;)

Although Samsung's support IS ****, I await the update.

However, next time I'm thinking of buying a Samsung phone I'll think twice!
[Galaxy 3 General] protomank:
Well, and what are the options?

Motorola and their anti-custom roms hardware is problematic.

Sony Ericsson "our 2.1 is better than a vanilla 2.2" (even if benchmarks and tests show that 2.2 in X10 rocks?) is a no-go.

HTC a lot of people here already said is no better than Samsung.

Apple? It is not Android.

Google and their high-end only phones are out of range for most people budgets, including me).

Sadly, the solution is that Google needs to fix the way updates are made, and very soon, otherwise we'll end simply having to buy a new phone every time a Android version is launched.
[Galaxy 3 General] pokosik:
Yes, if i could i would buy better phone, but i don't have such money, so just will wait for an update...
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
Wait... How long?...
[Galaxy 3 General] satyamsit:
As long people like us are there to get fooled by company like these...
[Galaxy 3 General] Supersonic335:
it's really unacceptable wait so long ..next time i rather buy LG:D
[Galaxy 3 General] stubborn_d0nkey:
geekphonezero seems like any interesting an cheap switch
[Galaxy 3 General] IonAphis:
I've had LG phones before... nothing is as crappy as LG phone support.

If you want fully supported phone with completely no issues, get an iPhone (not an iphone fanboy, just stating real facts here, and apple is damn good at service and support). If you like to stick to Android (as I do), then your best bet is to buy Nexus phones. After that it's a close call between HTC and Samsung, Motorola, then LG.

We always tend to look at the faults of what we have, and not the faults of others, but the fact is, Samsung isn't all that bad... they just have... forgotten our phone, since they have so many to deal with. Nexus (Google) and Apple don't have that sort of problem.
[Galaxy 3 General] stubborn_d0nkey:
its a minor company, but geeksphone seems great. No rooting required, they even approve custom roms, provide support for those custom roms, and flashing an approved custom rom doesnt void your warranty! A true geeksphone! The new one is gonna come with cyogenmod (well a oneclick upgrade). My next phone might be from them, or a nexus or htc or....
[Galaxy 3 General] shr33kant:
geeksphone looks promising! I'm gonna probably save up and get one of those or a nexus...depends on what o2 say i can get as an upgrade at end of contract :p
[Galaxy 3 General] stubborn_d0nkey:
you cant get geeksphone from an operator (at least not atm)
[Galaxy 3 General] sheron:
the best option you have is buying HTC and using proven and dependable custom roms like MIUI and cyanogen
[Galaxy 3 General] sheron:
if you are too afraid to use a custom rom then there is a rip off rom from Orange - France.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=930826

I've used it & it looks good but it has numerous extra apps which work only with a GSM connection from France & cannot be removed without root and the battery drain is much higher than stock 2.1.

It's initially in france but can be changed to english from Locale and text in settings

Oh yeah u must use odin downloader to flash ur phone with this rom
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
I think I'll go to the t-mobile store where I bought the phone. Asking when (and how) I can update my phone to the t-mobile version of froyo... I saw a review from someone on tweakers.net who bought the phone from the t-mobile store (or website) with froyo stock! Maby they know a (legal) way to flash my phone to froyo (i don't want to lose warranty)...
[Galaxy 3 General] abhimukesh25:
He friends I from India and I send mgs to samsung te told..

Dear customer,

Thank you for your interests on our product.

We are planning to upgrade GT-I5801(India) to Android 2.2 at the beginning of April. Hope it's true.

[Galaxy 3 General] radmor11:
I don't know if I should laugh or cry. Pathetic. Lets guess what they will say in April... It's high time for a nice custom rom.

Can you keep us up to date? Because if they don't know it at your store, maybe at the store close to mines. ;)
[Galaxy 3 General] JeroenGijselaar:
You should go to the phone house, they have a special update service!
[Galaxy 3 General] Chesnut:
Heh, they keep delaying it.

What's all the hating about? There's plenty of tutorials on how to flash it yourself and such. Doubt the official one will be any better.
[Galaxy 3 General] nsdj:
Still no official on Kies?

It sucks waiting so long but i will be patient......
[Galaxy 3 General] Supersonic335:
tommorow im going to sell my galaxy :D i cant wait longer
[Galaxy 3 General] wess786:
I'm thinking... why is everyone begging for 2.2? What's so special about it, actually?
[Galaxy 3 General] JeroenGijselaar:
Better performance, faster, better stock task management (killer), app2sd, better battery life, hopefully fixed battery indicator, wifi tethering, etcetera. If you ever used 2.2 you know it's better. In my opinion 2.1 was some kind of mistake by Google, I think 1.6 is even better than 2.1 but that's my opinion...

But I can't understand all the people who are saying they are going to buy another phone or that they hate Samsung. Listen to me, buy a Galaxy S! You will get an update to 2.3 and maybe 2.4 but after that you won't get newer updates. There will be newer phones wich contains 2.5, 2.6 etc. And at that point you all are crying again and saying you will never buy Samsung and you hate the Galaxy S... At that point some people can't be satisfied...

You see what my point is? There are continiously coming new phones and the companies can't make updates for all the phones, it's not effecient for them and that's understandable. But we get the update, Samsung comfirmed that :) So if you have to wait a month, so be it, please have a little patience!! And don't hate Samsung, I like their phones, they're working very well and also looks nice :)
[Galaxy 3 General] protomank:
People should actually buy a Google (Nexus) phone or complain about Google. The are the ones that allowend manufacters choise when to upgrade, they did not made a good job on isolating the custom UI code from Android core and hardware drivers with a decent API and ABI compatibility.

The custom UI should all be little apk programs, and not hardcoded/rooted in the phones. That way you could, if wished, uninstall it and have a Google Android. Also, the drivers could be extracted and used in newer Android versions... Google picked the way of giving manufacters and carriers the power to decide, in order to Android be accepted by them, this leads to this situation, and they must find a way to fix it.
[Galaxy 3 General] debaj:
If someone wants 2.2 so badly, there are beta versions (JPF is perfect for me) and beautiful custom ROMs packed with every goodie you can imagine. I hardly think that the official Froyo edition will be much better than an unmodified JPF.

The main problem that you can't use Kies for update.
[Galaxy 3 General] :
is it stable . i mean i am business man so i can't update to something that will make mobile crash or restart or loose voice connection . So if you know any good stable 2.2 please give link
[Galaxy 3 General] debaj:
JPF is pretty stable, but remember, these are beta roms, with no warranty. You can find the links in the development section.
[Galaxy 3 General] protomank:
There is one blocker for some people: language.

Current roms do not have brazilian portuguese or are configured to work with south americans number format (5555-5555), GPS and such, so you have to fix those after changing roms.

I for one, want 2.2 because of the gmail contacts sync bug in 2.1 (it shows all contacts, not onmy the ones from "my contacts" group) but can wait, 2.1 is working fine.

Actually I think, as there is so much delay and issues with the 2.2 update, that Samsung could simply skip it and give us 2.3 ;)
[Galaxy 3 General] gaby02:
I dont think Gingerbread for our galaxy 3 is the 1st preoccupation of Samsung...They are working on 2.3 for GS but I agree with you: WE NEED GINGERBREAD ON GALAXY 3.
[Galaxy 3 General] wess786:
Keep dreaming. Gingerbread needs an 1GHz processor which the Galaxy 3 doesn't have.
[Galaxy 3 General] heavens dragon:
wasn't Gingerbread confirmed for optimus one by LG?? and optimus one dnt have 1 Ghz procy :p
[Galaxy 3 General] JeroenGijselaar:
Samsung is giving me an headache...
[Galaxy 3 General] protomank:
Wrong, Google stated always that the 2.3 requirements are the same than those of 2.2. My idea talking about 2.3 was: "if Samsung can't get 2.2 to work on G3, maybe they should try 2.3?".

You know, 2.3 fixes a lot of 2.2 bugs, so maybe Samsung problems are less likely to happen in 2.3. If I was a Samsung developer, I would at least think about it.

I was once in a project that used Qt 4.6, it had a lot of bugs in touchscreens, we investigated 4.7 betas and found it fixed all those bugs. It is just commons sense.
