Froyo release day - Nov 11th

yeah who knows how long it ll take verizon to skin it and push it out....what is more promising actually would be the mesmorize getting froyo as us cellular might push that out faster and already without bing :) and then with a small tweak or two we have it

That would be great if something could be done with the mesmerize to adapt it to the fascinate.

virtually everything for the mesmorize and sf is the same with the exception of bloatware and google/bing....the devs said the kernel is actually cleaner on the sm and look like they are incorporating that into the new kernels.

so really the mesmorize is great for us as it gives us another source of updates and goodies.
 
Yeah, as soon as one of the all-star dev's get their meathooks into a good copy we'll be golden. I probably wont even bother to un-do my phone for the VZ OTA. I'll get mine thru xda et al; might even get it before VZ folks, depending

yeah, i would never ever take an ota again in the future on any phone...so many units get bricked by verizon otas (see droid x and droid debacle) that its better to wait for an update.zip or the like from the our very talented devs.

This definitely sounds like the route to go for people who are rooted or have voodoo or have altered their phone in similar ways. I'll most likely wait on the OTA update unless I feel like undoing everything I've recently done. Hopefully like Droidus said, Samsung will have something along the lines of froyo release-related news for U.S. carriers on Nov. 8th.

yeah everyone has their own take on otas...personally i like to avoid the chance of a brick with verizons spotty track record.

i like that the devs usually deodex the releases first so thats one less thing to do later on.

personally, id really prefer the mesmorize getting froyo first as in general it appears thats the way to go
 
I am holding out on the lag fix for 2.2....

Nov 11th is when Samsung releases it, but when will VZW pushes it? Don't they have to test it first?
 
Verizon should have it already! If they first get it on the 11th, we wont see it until the end of December...And it is a little annoying that the tab is going to run it out of the box, and were stuck waiting..

well this is one thing i cant blame big red for...thats all on samsung. like i said before though us cellular doesnt put half the bloat as verizon and don't de-google so they (and by extension us) should have it before vzw pushes it
 
verizon has been pushing out updates faster lately for some reason but I don't want the update like the X got! The fryo on the X has a lot of issues and verizon released it. The updates are created by the manufacturer not the carrier so I just hope this one is good I just past my 30 days on my Fascinate!
 
I've sent a couple of messages to the testers I know to see if the Fascinate is already in testing. The continuum is coming loaded with 2.2 so it shouldn't be too hard for Samsung to get things in order for the rest of the Galaxy S line, especially those with CDMA radios.

are you sure that the continuum is coming with 2.2? everything up to now has seemed to point to it having 2.1. i mean it d be great if it did have 2.2, as that could be ripped right off the device, tinkered with and ported for us.
 
It would make sense for the continuum to come with 2.2 , and since the Galaxy tab is dropping the same suspected day as the continuum, you would think it wouldnt be rocking 2.1? But who knows
 
If Continuum indeed comes out with 2.2, I might switch to it instead of Fascinate as we don't know when it's coming to Fascinate. I don't mind using smaller 3.4" screen with the same resolution plus small ticker screen for notifications. Other specs looks pretty much the same as Fascinate.

if the continuum launches with 2.2 we ll probably have 2.2 ffor us rom the xda guys 2 days later.

Think it'll take that long;):p

haha prolly not. just my point being that why would you trade the 4 inch fascinate for a weird 3.4 inch continuum that im sure the secondary lcd screen will be a pita. 2.2 isnt going to make THAT big of a difference really to go from one phone to another.

yes i want it, but its not gonna reinvent the wheel :cool:
 
Wishful thinking...I would hope it gives us the same screen set up as the Galaxy tab...looks more Android, and less iPhone if you ask me...otherwise small little tweaks, Full Flash...which I don't really use...and a bump in overall speed for the OS is pretty much what 2.2 will bring to us...I'll take the speed, got the need for speed...hehehe!
 
And no I wouldn't trade a 4" screen for a 3.4....no way, they can keep that ticker. Incredible at 3.7 is too small for me, 3.4 is smaller then an iPhone...no thanks..
 
I'de take a 5" screen if I could get one. And not with a Motorolo label on it, as I'm not a fan of moto.

How long do you all think from the actual release date to the date "V" is ready to push to the first end user? Would a couple months be fair to assume? So like, mid January I suppose would be about the worst case, maybe "V" can get it ready and out the door in under a month... so maybe around mid December to X-Mas time OTA to us?

I see everyone getting excited about the release on Nov 11, but that has nothing to do with the "V" push to our handsets..... that is the real question! How long of a gap from Samsung release to carrier push?
