Froyo release day - Nov 11th

[nitsuj17]

Do we know yet if Froyo was at least released to the carrier's today?

if it was the obsessed members of fascinate nation would know at this point

 

[cesardrgn]

If if gets or not how's everyone going to know? Are we getting a notification to upgrade? Since we don't have a desktop application I was wondering how are we going to update

 

[Frisco]

Just curious, when the November 11th date was leaked, did it also include the year?

Nobody here will be able to tell you, because our phones are too modded to receive the ota update.

Well, yeah. The 2.2 ROMs will be sprouting like weeds pretty soon anyway; keep your eye on

Fascinate Android Development - xda-developers

lets just hope the leaked like crazy nexus s is dropping soon, even if on tmobile. birdman seems to think it ll be possible to port 2.3 from it.

granted thats just a stray thread from irc, but it d be funny if 2,3 got ported from the s around the same time vzws 2.2 ota went out.

For whatever reason I chose not to root until the official froyo updates comes out so I can take that one and see if I need anymore functionality.

My question is, if KIES is used for the OTA update, then why does VZ have to get involved? I suppose I am hoping to get this around Thanksgiving or just after.

I will say that the phone flies on its own, except for the occasional second or two lag; haven't experience the GPS issues on mine so I guess I'm lucky. Haven't regretted getting this phone for a second and I was going to get the Dinc, waited months for this phone and I am glad I did.

You're expressing pretty close to the way I feel about the Froyo update.

My Fascinate is bugless, fast and furious. But I do root it from time to time to run things I see questions about in the forums so that I can have a bit of experience behind my responses.

It's rooted now and I'm thinking I'll run the first 2.2 ROM that shows up for the above mentioned reason; that's why I'm waiting for Froyo.

Unrooting is a snap, so I might as well "toggle" the two.

I flashed a couple ROMs onto my Omnia, yeah I know, but I just didn't see the huge benefit to doing it. Always ended up moving back to the stock ROM. I was using omniaroms.com so may I just need to try the XDA flavors and they might be better.

Convinced my brother to move from a flip phone to the Fascinate on the two for one deal and I just told him if there aren't any solid rumors about froyo the week after turkey day I think I am going to go to the dark side.

So there you go. They don't call me a noob for nuthin!

 

[triple486]

Samsung said so.

 

[MutantCheese]

here we go again...

 

[rehpyc]

I heard there were slight bumps in its release and that it'll take till the 13th.

 

[MutantCheese]

and carriers never release on Saturday's so make that the the 15th.

i came from a droid1 to a fascinate. i do miss the physical keyboard sometimes, as well as 2.2, but other than that, the fascinate is awesome! if you've used swype, you'll be ok without the keyboard.

I came from the D1 also and found the physical flat keyboard absolutely useless- So did Moto, hence the D2 with raised buttons.

I do not find the Fascinate cheap feeling, it's plastic which is what it feels like. I have a TPU smoke case so it could be metal or iphone glass and I would never know (except for the heaviness).

I like swype but voice text is pretty good too. Looking forward to 2.2 which I don't miss that much.

Great upgrade for me. It way faster can actually play gif's with out using the browser or downloading Hancent which I hatted. It can play some videos with in the browser it self. Don't even worry about bing I cause it really doesn't make you use it only with the exception of the capacitive search button. The only thing I miss about the Droid is its solid feel.

I called it a few days back...100% by Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving of 2011..Lmao

i think all froyo talk should be tabled until the ota starts

Trust me, those running the site are fine with the banter, it increases site traffic which increases traffic and hits which increases ad revenue and site valuation. Its good.
