[Q] Why Official Froyo Being Called Back?!

Hi all,
As with the topic above, anyone knows the real reason with the call back of the official JPM firmware( or JP6)?
Read up on some sources, some said that its causes unstability. However, so far it seems okay to me in terms of stability and usabilty. Running on Darky's Steel Edition Rom 3.0. Seems good.
Cheers.

Just take a quick look at the changelist from JJ1 (SC02) and JPK, JPM / JP6 and compare these. All of these builds are from the same tree!
And did you ever take a look @ your logs (being on "stock" JPM / JP6)?
Yes, the customized ROMS are really really good. But all of 'em still have some (mostly minor) issues. I think Sammy has got to fix all (or most) of them before
they finally want to release it.
Btw, do you remember the first 2.2 releases from HTC
The only question is: Which way does less overall damage?

I think the final release will be almost identical as JPM/JP6 but Samsung has to patch the Kies so that it won't brick SGS so easily.

My Froyo 2.2 is unstable!!!
I for one really can't wait for the next "official" fix
My cold boot up times are way slower than the JG5 firmware and the phone suffers from forced closes sometimes and lags like hell!
It's just so annoying knowing what the phone is capable of but not having the firmware to back it up.
I hope the official froyo 2.2 release fixes all the bugs!

Well mine run better then ever on the official jp6. Granted root and lagfix is still needed becouse of the lovely rfs...

Here's hoping that the delay means that they will upgrade to 2.3 rather than 2.2 that will save you samsung.

That would be one of the few things hey could do to justify the wait. Unfortunately I hear someone knocking on the door, it's reality.
That guy always ruins my dreams...

[Q]SGS or w8 gingerbread?

hello ppl,
I'm planning to buy Samsung galaxy S soon but I heard that Android gingerbread is coming out soon too so I want to ask:
1-will it be better to wait till Gingerbread to be out and then buy a device that has it already? if yes how much would this take?
2-would there be a huge difference between Froyo which we can get on the Sgs and gingerbread that will worth the waiting if its long?
3-is there any chance for Sgs to get gingerbread as an official update ? or its hardware cant run it?
4-any remarks about the price of the devices that will come with it when it comes out?
btw I'm normal user and my usage isnt that heavy or needs very high specs but still if its worth it to w8 please answer the questions
P.S srry if i'm posting under wrong section or asking an already answered stuff
thanks

2.3 (gingerbread) wont come out to SGS till next year beacause of SGS screen problem. <-------- What screen problem?!!!!
So you might aswell buy a SGS OR HTC DE HD.

Did i miss some news some where?
I've never heard of a screen problem on the SGS
there have been single instances here and there, but nothing major like the internal SD problems...
back on topic
1) it will depend on the manufacture, don't count on Samsung, HTC will have it out before Samsung as usual
2) is hard to say, unless we can play with 2.3 there is no way to compare it to 2.2
3) yes it can run it, and eventually it will be released just like 2.2, knowing Samsung and their horrible customer service, 2.3 will be out like on 2012, if it took them so long to release 2.2 (2010/2011)
4) prices are all guess work, there is no way of knowing until the device is advertised by the carriers

thanks to all who replied but can u guys plz just stick to the 4 questions i asked

Well, to answer all 4 at once:
GingerBread is not out yet, only speculation are made as of now.
Nobody knows if it'll be out for SGS, nobody knows what will be the Nexus S (or 2), no one can tell if it will be released to the public.
So, basicaly, if you'r waiting on speculation, you can wait a long time!
And, when it's out, another device will be rumored and will be the next best hype!

1) If you have the patience, then maybe wait for gingerbread. Only thing is tho, when gingerbread comes out, im sure something new will be leaked out and then you're gonna want to wait for that. Gingerbread is to be released soon i believe.
2) I think for differences on the SGS, gingerbread MIGHT not be as smooth as froyo or eclair, mainly because who knows if samsung will release an official update, or if it will have to be a ported version. Having said that, i find froyo to be much smoother than eclair (using docs bell rom V1.1)
3) I think the SGS will be able to handle gingerbread hardware wise, seeing as how the tab is supposed to get it, and the SGS and tab are somewhat similar in the hardware department
4) Prices will likely be similar to the prices of the phones that are out right now, anywhere from 300 - 600 i would say, depending on if you take the contract way or buy it outright.

well so to conclude
should i wait for a gingerbread device to come and buy it or just buy Sgs now ?

- If I were you, I would buy the SGS now.
- Who cares if it gets gingerbread or not, its a very nice phone as it is.

+1
Get the SGS, its an excellent device out of the box. If you want a little monster just add Lagfix; if you want to experiment, upgrade to 2.2 and so on until you brick it and you end up in these forums crying for help lol jk
If you "wait" you will WAIT forever, cause when you get a device with gingerbread 2 days after you will see a new device with honeycomb. If you wait for honeycomb then you will have a dilemma with Icecream, or waffles or LOLCAKES or w/e the next release is called
and so on... you will spend the rest of your life "waiting" ... like a slogan says.. JUST DO IT!!
Hope that helps

[Q] Gingerbread for Captivate

At one point wasnt there an internal build Gingerbread rom "leaked" from Samsung for the Galaxy S? I thought at one point I remember reading that there was. If there was, is anybody doctoring it up for the Captivate?
I'd like to go for Gingerbread on my Captivate but kind of dont want CM7, since it's stock based its too "green". I actually kind of like the samsung touchwiz based roms since they have the blue highlighting and the TW launcher isnt too bad, it looks sooooo much better than that puke green color of stock gingerbread.

There was a leak for the I9000 but since they did not release the source code it can not be ported over to the Captivate.

so far there is CM7 and Miui built off 2.3.3.. your only 2 choices so far. Neither are out of beta yet.

i believe samsung has said they will be releasing gingerbread for the galaxy s phones starting as early as next month... not that I think they can keep a date to save their lives, but they do generally follow through... eventually

just wait for a while, since others (htc, sony) will release 2.3 update pretty soon, samsung will do the same thing ...

What's wrong with Thrill?

Everyone keeps saying there returning there Thrill, its not worth it, blah blah blah. What's so wrong with this phone besides Froyo? Just curious causevim Thrilled about my purchase

I'm seeing alot of people are pissed about the thrill because its running froyo. An outdated system on a new device is what they say. People are holding out for the galaxy s 2. What they don't seem to get is all over the net there are videos and comparisons to the galaxy s 2 and the thrill. The results are pretty much dead even. Some parts the thrill destroys the s2 in tests, NEVER DOES THE S2 DO THE SAME. and guess what the s2 is running the latest version of android. So with that said, once we get gingerbread people will be eating there words. Plus people don't understand all dual core phones are the same except for the thrill/optimus 3D, this phones internals are so unique that we have dual channel support. Watch this video, it just makes sense >>>

Personally I love this phone and to be honest I get better battery life outta this phone than my atrix. Y I'm not sure. I don't have any lag issues so my real life experience is great.
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda premium

In my experience, people don't even know what the differences are between Froyo and Gingerbread; they just want the latest so they can tell their nerd friends that they have the latest.
I know the differences, which is why I'm not so gung ho - yes, it's later and it improves on some things, but the differences are mainly beneath the surface so I don't get the fascination with the latest.
When Ice Cream Sandwich is released, will people be returning their GS2s for something newer?

I agree with everyone above, I love this phone and have not had any problems with speed or lag. Gingerbread will come but to be honest I would rather LG just give us Ice Cream Sandwich as soon as it comes out at this point in the Gingerbread game. And after using the 3D for games and I even rented Sanctum and it looked fantastic, I don't think I could not have 3D now.

There's nothing wrong with the Thrill. Very beautiful device and works extremely well.
I guess this quote explains the reason people keep returning it very well, "The grass is always greener on the other side."

I have the rogers optimus 3d (which i beleive is the same as the thrill). I love the device so far. The only issues i have with it as of now are the tinny speaker and the lack of a bluetooth hid profile (I want to use a bt keyboard!!) I hope development picks up soon.
Sent from my LG-P925g using XDA App

I just cant get over how HORRIBLE this battery is. I have owned several android devices this year and by far this one takes the cake for crappy battery. Hopefully Gingerbread improves it like it helped the Inspire (which was way better even with froyo) but I wont be sticking around to see it.
That and the delay with opening certain apps like the camera (which takes about 5 seconds to load) and the delay when waking the phone up im just amazed at how low quality this device is. The 3D is cool, but I need a device that can atleast meet the standards of a low-end smartphone when it comes to anything else.

I'm glad to see some optimism here. Who the heck cares what ROM comes on the phone? Maybe I'm just overly optimistic, but this is my fourth Android phone (G1, MT3G, G2X, now Thrill) and I've never run a stock ROM for more than a month or so (or however long it takes for custom ROMs to be released). The phone has already been rooted, Clockwork is out (albeit still in beta), and it's only 10 days old. We'll have custom GB 2.3.5 on this beast in no time, and we won't care that it's still running Froyo on stock.

Buy a SGS or wait?

Hey guys, would you reccomend buying a SGS 2 or waiting for the next version? Anyone know when the next version will be out? I am on AT&T thanks!

it simply depends on the fact if u can afford a better device when it comes out... if you can then go ahead and wait... if you cant then there is no point... and if you choose to wait then wait a little longer to see if the device has sufficient developer support, if you are into rooting n custom ROMS...

I think it's best to wait for the S3 i will definately wait for it and i think it's worth waiting
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA

Its better to wait for S3 it will be very good for sure

I thought to buy the galaxy s2 because my s1 don't became ics and was very slow with all roms that i tried. But with the slim ics ROM I'm now very happy and the performance is great. Now i will wait until the s1 will die or no more updates will come from the Android community.
That save a lot of money and I'm very happy with my old lag free phone.
Just my 2 cent.
And excuse me for my English, best regards from Germany.
send from SGS i9000 with Slim ICS 3.1

I completely agree with the last poster. With Gingerbread, I was looking to upgrade. After I put ICS on my phone—especially with bigmem kernels sporting 400mb of available RAM—I see absolutely no reason to upgrade. My phone doesn't lag and I can play any of the new games I want to. I would definitely wait for the S3.

It depends on what you wanna do with your phone.
You are on XDA, so i guess you wanna try new roms an tweak your phone to the fullest
In that case buy the SGS 2, there is already a lot of devs building roms for the SGS 2
If you want the newest phone..... and can wait for it's release (don't know exactly when)... and can afford it..... and can wait for root to come out, the SGS 3 is your choice.
I have a SGS 1 to play with so my choice would be simpel... wait for the SGS 3.

Sgs3 22nd may UK. I have seen it and it really looks as if its from beyond this galaxy!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk

I'd totally wait and even after S3 being released would wait some more.
I never buy something new after being fairly well tested and reviewed.
And even so, i'll probably hang to my SGS. I'm not even joking my phone's fast as hell even with a GB based rom, have probably the best sound you can have on any phone around, the perfect screen size for me with a beautiful screen with beautiful colors to look at, frontal button with no useless touch buttons (really who needs a dedicated search button anyway), built in a perfectly solid enough case with battery to spare for a whole day (i ask for no more).
i've been using mintberry miui for a good while now, have it well customized (plenty of wireless passwords saved, loads of apps with several data, everything works flawlessly without a single FC for months) and i can't really imagine all of this going even faster, it's fast enough as it is. I don't even consider changing to an ICS rom just yet.
The only things i would change is the **** gps that never really worked regardless what i try and wireless going into sleep mode regardless of me configuring it not to (although this is a rom/kernel problem). But i can live with both, my car already has gps, i already had a dedicated device before getting this phone as well and i can always have my phone not entering sleep at all in the first place, so... meh This is nitpicking anyway.
Really, i've put to thought changing my phone many times, but after considering what i'll get i always end up realizing my phone delivers everything i need with power to spare.
If you own an SGS you probably already have the best there is

I'm waiting for the Galaxy S4

i got both sgs1 an sgs2 so comparing sgs1 is sexy on gb but sgs2 is sexy on gb too..but performance of sgs2 is better an iam planning for new device tht will b latest may b sgs3 so better wait cause teck speeking quadcore,cam,speed war will start soon an every company will rush out new phones,so ull hav a chance to select,an may b the price falls too (who knos)........cheeeerz

Wait.
Definitely.
Ultimately.
Short time.
10 years only.
And buy Samsung Galaxy 95.
Any earlier model would be a crap.

I thought I read somewhere that it will not be out until Q3/Q4 this year...but if you ask me, I would certainly not wait...considering the current SGS (almost 2 years old?) is still able to run ICS decently, I really see no reason the upgrade the hardware, or in this case, to wait for newer hardware...

If you ask me I would definitely wait for S2 till it's price would fall or just wait some more time to buy S3 . i wouldn't go for S1 generation anymore
