ravisghosh · Aug 10, 2010

Probably, it would be a great idea to question them about product support on twitter hoping it would cause them good enough shame.

Have tweeted the galaxy, service and UK.

Samsung are f**king useless, and I'm giving this phone away to my kid and buying something like a Droid X or something else that runs 2.2.

rusky · Aug 11, 2010

I keep visiting websites that need flash. The links take me to Adobe who then tell me that I need 2.2. Tell me something I don't know!

old-timer · Aug 12, 2010

I just learnt from the latest itpro mailing that MWR InfoSecurity have found a serious security flaw in the webkit based browser in android 2.1 and earlier that leaves us open to identity theft on dodgy websites and dodgy wifi networks. This flaw has been fixed in the 2.2 update. So, as I see it, it's a duty of care thing for our service providers/phone providers to roll out the fix to us.

That's what I'm going to try tomorrow. Can't hurt.

I am guessing 2.2 upgrade is dead and buried?

Does not seem to be any new form discussions about this - i see with "Kies" there is a 3rd upgrade option for 2.1 to JD1 but does not seem to be much of a diff from what i can see from JC1 so am not going to bother with it.
So is this it, we have to be contempt with 2.1 unless we flash to a 2.2 rom outselves where there seems to be issues with cam drivers and such.

Beerkan · Oct 16, 2010

You should bother with it. JD1 is where most of the speed improvements and stability improvements were introduced.

You'll not get the 3xtimes speed improvement you get with Samdroid Turbo, but then you need to root the phone to install Samdroid Turbo.

nx1977 · Oct 16, 2010

Does upgrading with keis still wipe everything, or is the update simply that?

Beerkan · Oct 17, 2010

If you're upgrading from 1.5 to 2.1 the upgrade will wipe everything. Check out my guide for instructions on how to backup your phone.

nx1977 · Oct 18, 2010

Sorry, I thought there was another 2.1 update? That's what I was referring to.

mcsy · Oct 26, 2010

Don't worry about it, we just have to wait

Hahahahaha.

As a former Spica owner who is now intimately aware of how Samsung are incompetent liars I am certain that this will never never happen.

"will get Android 2.2 whenever it is officially released" - there's your clue there that this person has no idea

TmobileUKhelp Hi ****, the SGS will receive an update to 2.2 before the end of the month. Thanks
18 Nov at 17:02 Delete

***** Any more news on when the samsung galaxy portal is getting the android 2.2 update? Thanks

Good News? I think so!

rusky · Nov 20, 2010

Sorry but I just don't beleive them!

karnka · Nov 20, 2010

Read it properly. They're referring to the Galaxy S.

rusky · Nov 20, 2010

SGS Samsung Galaxy Spica or Samsung Galaxy S

Galaxy S does seem more likely.

ateam55 · Nov 20, 2010

Nah, I think it is the Galaxy Spica EG The Portal. I also got messages earlier in the month, but didn't think about posting them on here. They seem more hopeful!

TmobileUKhelp Hi ****, the Galaxy Portal will be receiving an update this month. Thanks

***** Hi, I am a User of a Samsung Galaxy Portal running Android 2.1. Do you have a release date for Android 2.2 in the UK on the Galaxy Portal?

harrybarracuda · Nov 21, 2010

I'd put my money on it being the Galaxy S.

nx1977 · Nov 24, 2010

Yes, they mean the S not portal.

r3JAM · Nov 30, 2010
