Spica: Android 2.2 Offical! Edit: No Froyo

[RavenSavior]

The only way to update the Spica is to use the PC Suite that came with your phone. install it and just wait =]. the suite is pretty useless for anything else but update.

Once your on the PC Suite, you will see a button saying

Firmware update.. when the update is out we can use that. Or talk to someone in a 3 store but the only other way is to send it off and i dont think you would want that XD

new pc studio will not work with 2.1 only 1.5 so you will have to use kies to update the phone

 

[Tiggybot]

You dont have 2.1 already?

Nope, no 2.1 in the UK on t-mobile.... 3 got it out of the box, but everyone else is still stuck on cupcake. So you can see why we are skeptical about your post. It's all a wait and see.

So, Galaxy S is getting Froyo in September,

T mobile UK are releasing 2.1 for Spica this september

And 3 Ireland UK are releasing 2.2 for Spica around the same time as Galaxy S.

Put it all together

September we are roughly getting this update

Now all non believers, what do you say ? Confirmed all round

SPICA IS GETTING FROYO
(at least here in UK and Ireland)

 

[andy-roid]

Looks like i will have to update both my phones tio 2.2 now my galgaxy s and portal

 

[waxwrong]

Samsung admits that the Spica cannot be used with Kies (mine doesn't get recognised) so I don't know how we will get the update

 

[waxwrong]

This is direct from Samsung site

229707. Galaxy Spica i5700 and New PC Studio
New PC Studio is not meant for Galaxy Spica. This model runs on Android OS and it is not compatible with the New PC Studio. At the moment, for file transfer, you will need to use the Mass Storage option. Please ensure that there is a memory card in the phone. When you connect the phone to PC

Strangely, my bada phone (Samsung Wave) IS compatible. Android isn't but Bada is!

As the saying goes: I will believe it when I see it.

 

[RavenSavior]

Im loving how many people, non members included are viewing this topic.


Its all looking good for Spica users but this could and probably will be the last update the Spica shall get. but who knows. its got a pretty good CPU for a lower end Android.

I'm loving how your reputation will look if it doesn't happen.

 

[RavenSavior]

My rep? I have rep?

Please tell me where it is and why id care about that.

You can believe me or not but in the end it looks like you will be wrong.

Samsung as confirmed that 2.2 is in development for both Galaxy S and Spica.

numb nut

I'm in Canada, with Rogers, and I got the Spica. They probably don't have it up on their site anymore.

I'm still waiting on 2.1 from Rogers (I bit the bullet ages ago and Odin'd for it anyways).

I'm not going to hold my breath for 2.2.....

 

[RavenSavior]

Well look back, Its confirmed from Samsung. But yes its up to your Carrier aswell.

petrol here is on T Mobile UK and they havnt updated it to 2.1 either yet 3 UK has.

 

[redpyramid]

hey RavenSavior, did you contact Samsung with this issue just by going to Samsung.ie, then Support section and Contact us, or something along those lines?

if you're right, I'll buy you a Galaxy S!!! The really big deal? - Google Voice Actions (2.2 only) -> speak into your phone: "Text.. Paul.. I'll meet you there at 2pm", and it sends that text just from your voice command!

 

[RavenSavior]

Dont think there is a samsung.ie

i went to samsung.com and filled out the customer support page and asked them.

 

[jipo]

If UK/Ireland got froyo..we'll got froyo too sooner or later

 

[RavenSavior]

well no Samsung with Android has over 2.1 yet so the Spica and S are due 2.2 this september here in Ireland and UK then the odin way will work by october

 

[confabber]

September is starting tomorrow. Hope u r right RavenSavior

right, to be precise, if you go to samsung.com from Ireland, you're automatically directed to samsung.com/ie
