T-Mobile UK wanted to get Android 2.2 for their Galaxy S out two days ago: that was November 30th. That didn’t happen, and they promised that in the event of a delay, it’d certainly be out the day after that: December 1st. I looked at my calendar today, and it’s December 2nd. I didn’t have to look at my calendar, though: you guys are livid and have filled our inboxes up. While I’m not a T-Mobile UK customer (I don’t even live in the UK!), I feel for you. Where’s their Froyo, T-Mobile? Barry – the gentlemen who keeps us updated on the matter over at their support forums – hasn’t been around for a couple of days. Most of you have just about had it. We’ll try to squeeze an official update on the matter out of them. In the meantime, just sit tight. Why not discuss some of your favorite Android games with our other readers?
[Update]: The power of “spreading the word” works wonders. Barry – the gentlemen we were wondering about above – updated us just minutes after we put a spotlight on this issue and had this to say:
Hi folks
I’ve been talking to the handset team and the Samsung people today and the latest news is as follows.
Unfortunately the 2.2 update will not be available via KIES today as expected and Samsung have confirmed that FOTA will not feature as part of this update, but should appear at a later date. Samsung are indicating the firmware will be made available at some point next week.
We’ll keep you posted with further updates as we get them.
cheers

I’m certain you guys aren’t any happier than you were, but hey, it’s a response.
Quite the feat to go December 30th and see 2.2 still not released for the Galaxy S lol
Lol Sorry about that.
I knew it. Samsung makes promises about android upgrades and break it all the time. This is not the first time.
We should all learn the lesson and never believe what Samsung says.
I wouldn’t blame Samsung for this one…. There are many FROYO ROMs leaked. i’ve been running FROYO for a couple months on my Captivate, its the carriers that are taking their time….
How many times I see a a news regarding GALAXY S GETTING FROYO!
It Falls into both hands. Carriers and Manufacturers. Samsung is the one that builds the ROMs and work on the back end of the Updates. The carrier goes thru the test, they add their bloat wear and test. Which in turn adding their bloat ware and changes they do can push back the testing and the ROM release. So its an even part on both ends. I been running Froyo for a while on my Vibrant. Its a lot more stable then stock ever was. Even when i was running a Custom 2.1
Lol, I’m running a Bell Vibrant ROM based off JK3 on my Captivate. it’s quick!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
everybody should stop complaining the fascinate still hasn’t seen a leaked 2.2 rom yet
TMobile ALWAYS falls behind. SO do the carriers. It took Motorola & TMobile almost a year to get the Moto Cliq to 2.1! Honestly….be happy you have 2.1. 2.2 is nice, but thats what custom roms are for. Ill never run a loaded down slow turd like a carriers official release. I dont want crap-ware on my phone!
Funny how the US Vibrant devices got the leak and we are running it here??? My vibrant has been on Froyo for about 3 weeks now!
@ Steven S. I couldn’t agree with you more!!
I’m not in the UK, so with no word for the Vibrant just leaves me a cold feeling. But in this case its better to hear something then total silence.
Well. There is a new Froyo leak for the US Vibrant Modal called JK6. Go over to the XDA website and have a look. :) They have both a version to ODIN and a version to flash through ROM Manager. :) And a deodexed version as well. So it should make anyone happy I would think.
I’m pretty certain you all knew what’s going to happen with Samsung and firmware updates, yet you still went for the SGS phones…
I sure am glad I went for the Desire instead of holding out for a graphically superior SGS. Atleast I have froyo for over 4 months.
Funny thing is, there was not a single post on any site about the SGS’s without former samsung users warning about their crappy update schedule, including on Phandroid :-)
The most annoying thing is this constant tease since about September for Froyo. If Samsung/T-Mobile had said Jan 2011 and kept to that, I doubt either would be getting the grief they rightly deserve. Stretching the analogy it is a bit like telling your kids Christmas morning that Santa will be coming tomorrow, then the next day. After a while you’d tell Santa to stick his toys up his own chimney.
Samsung is too busy on nexus! Not enough complaining! Lol.
when the nexus s comes out and it runs perfect that’s when everybody will start complaining because there’s still bugs with froyo and no fix for GPS
I would just not hold my hopes that high with samsung . After I and some thousand people got taken by them with the behold 2 fiasco .Im glad i wasnt dumb enough to get another samsung product,i will not get the next nexus because its a samsung product. Hopefully people will now see what type of company samsung is.
Unless Samsung turns things around soon this will be the last Samsung phone I ever own. The EVO has had 2.2 for months now and there are already rumblings that 3.0 is around the corner yet owners of the insanely popular Galaxy S are still stuck on 2.1? Get your act together Samsung.
every body need to start complaining to samsung this is the only way we will win
@Joe
STFU about the behold 2. Two different cases entirely.
I am still waiting for Froyo on my mTouch3G slide.
I got my Epic 4g rooted with custom froyo rom and its smokin! I have a quadrant score of 2400! Neocore Fps at 60 nenamark at 55.7. Browser is super quick. I’m enjoying my phone with froyo.
@sasopu
wth are you getting at. we chose the galaxy s because it is an amazing phone, albeit, with carriers taking a long time to release updates. I have an captivate and have been running 2.2froyo longer then i can remember thanks to all the roms at xda, and it’s probably 10x better then your phone
This is my first android phone(galaxy s captivate) and was sold on the premises that it will have froyo. I have been patient and quietly
Waiting and am loosing my faith in at&
t and Samsung
at&t usa is a lousy loser. I bought the galaxy s on the same premise that it will be updated to Froyo in a short time and still they are breaking their promises after 4 months. They need to get teir act together. I think every single owner should write to their respective carrier and to samsung. This is my last samsung phone and my last contract with at&t. i am not going to renew the contract and never ever going to buy a samsung phone again in my life.
