Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant will get Froyo tomorrow, says T-Mobile CMO By Sean Hollister posted Ιαν 20 2011 at 02:07μ.μ.

Hi,
I couldn't post in the developer section with being a Noob!
Flashed my stock Tab with 1.6.3 last night. Overclocked 1.4. UV -200 all steps. Stress tested over night. All good!
I had to log back in to the android app store to get Titanium backup for restoring apps. This morning I have an email from the Android Team to my Gmail account:-
"Google and Samsung have partnered to bring you Nexus S, a pure Google experience phone. Learn more:
Register your Nexus S for access to premium support from Samsung. "
plus some other Galaxy S support pages.
Is the galaxy tab being identified as a Galaxy S on the app store? Will this cause any future issues? Is a fix needed?
Cheers
2.3.3 with TW3
2.3.3 with TW4
2.3.4 with TW3
2.3.4 with TW4
I voted for 2.3.4 with TW3 that would be realy nice. getting tw4 would be super but i can't see this one happening.
I know it sucks for the current 10 million+ SGS owners, but Samsung have to offer a unique hardware and software combination for the SGS 2 to entice consumers to purchase their new product line. For existing SGS owners, probably a revised, slightly less bugged 2.3.3.
with 2.3.4 is possible but with TW 4.0 i dont think so and never put any hope on that but if it is happening I wolud be pleased!!!!!
2.3.4 with TW3 is Realistic.
Video chat with google talk is the only function that is missing in our Galaxy s. Most network operators do not offer video calling, and if it's too expensive. That would be a brilliant alternative.

I agree. it could be the almost only use for the front facing camera.
with that, my Phone would be complete.
Well, I guess 2.3.4 (heard google asked sammy to pull off, so video chat might be added) with TW3 (TW4 exclusive for the S2).
I bought a BELL 8.9LTE Unlocked Tablet, i am using it on ROGERS. When the ICS update finally come out will my tab find the rogers or bell version?

so thats mean if ics come tomorrow .... it will be from bell
I'm dying as well. Been hunting down an 8.9 as it's an optimal size for gaming (for nearly 2 months). I finally found one bnib for $300 only to find out it's on 3.2 and that' only gets me the old version of my game (that I'm addicted to). I'm literally dying here.
The 10.1 played the game awesomely (does the 10.1 have ics? I thought it did, but it was too big, hence I downgraded.
Anyway., it's supposedly a carrier free 8.9, but I see Bell PVR and crap like that in the apps.
Is there any way to get ICS on this tablet currently or not? I've never rooted or delved into that stuff so if there is a way, I may take a chance and gettur done.
I'm dying here. I'm literally twice a day checking if there's an update. I can't believe there are people who've had the update since July or earlier.

There's no carrier free canadian gtab 8.9 LTE, you maybe just got an unlocked device from the seller. I also have the Bell version 8.9 LTE since release date which I unlocked & now using it with Rogers much more reliable LTE and its always been in the same 3.2 HoneyComb firmware. Currently there is no ICS update for it yet, but I am also patiently waiting for it because I saw great renewed life on my Galaxy Tab 7.7 on ICS and my 11month old daughter's Rogers Gtab 10.1 is running awesome with its recently released Rogers ICS update.
Im pretty sure the ICS Update is coming really soon and it will come when you lease expect it.
I feel ICS will also make this device more awesome.

That's reassuring to know....but still impatient for the release.
Since you disclosed all that info-I have a question for you. Processor-wise, shouldn't both the 8.9 and 10.1 operate similarly? There's a multi-player game I'm addicted to that played great on the 10.1 with ICS (a later version of the game-which I'm thinking is possibly the cause). When I play on the 8.9 this past week I have two issues.
1-controls glitch infrequently (eventhough multi-touch tests don't show any issues)
2-the game is shockingly slow and laggy.
I'm playing on the same network (wifi), no other differences, just device is different, and the game version is different. I'm praying that with ICS the tab will function much better (same as the 10.1), and the compatible more recent version of the game will equally play better.

Someone mentioned that there is a recent (8/12) Rogers ROM on Sam Mobile.

That info is not confirm yet, and those brave fellow xdadev members that tried it only got light bricked results.
So currently we're still waiting for its release.

Processor & CPU Clock wise, on paper Gtab 8.9 LTE is better than the Gtab 10.1
P7500 Gtab 10.1 - only have 1ghz Nvidia Tegra 2 T20
While
i957m Gtab 8.9 LTE - have 1.5ghz Nvidia Tegra 2 T25
Comparing my i957m to my p7500 when both of them we're still 3.2HC - the i957 was more faster & stable.
Now that the p7500 got the ICS update, difference in speed and stability to my i957m is night & day. i957m doesn't even come close to the p7500.
So hopefully when we finally get the official ICS update to our i957m it will maximize its speed and stability to the fullest to solve your problem to that game you're playing.

Hello,
I am trying to get a phone for my 17yr old daughter: she is not heavy data user (just web browsing).. I am torn between the Samsung Captivate or Galaxy Ace: I can get both from Amazon for about $150.
Which do you think would give the best bang for the buck (I know I am posting in a Captivate forum, so I am aware of the implicit biases)?
cheers, MN
From reading the specs,
With ace you get LED flash for camera, FM radio. Those are the only two features which are not found on captivate. It has an 800 mHz processor versus 1,000 mHz.
In terms of variety of ROMs and support both at Xda and elsewhere, Captivate is the phone to get. Although the last official captivate ROM was 2.3.5 gingerbread officially released in Jan 2012, there are solid stable Jelly Bean 4.2.2 ROMs available, and ongoing nightly or weekly updates.
So unless an LED flash or an FM radio is essential, go for captivate.

Samsung Captivate is just overall better phone then Galaxy Ace.
Captivate is beats!!
