Does Froyo Fix the DHCP Netmask issue on the Galaxy S? Does it actually take the DHCP info from DNS and populate netmask as 255.255.255.0 instead of 255.0.0.0 on some networks? THIS IS ALL I WANT OUT OF FROYO! I want to finally be able to connect to my workplace's damn Wi-Fi. I take a lot of crap from my Motorola Droid and iPhone coworkers because of this enormous issue with the Galaxy S.

Yes, I fully understand your point... Trust me I have covered all of this with Samsung and the conversation was quite open and interesting.That may be the case Beards, but if samsung had given me a phone that worked properly in the first place and had not denied there was a problem i would not have done it. I waited as long as i could and could get no admission of a problem from vodafone or samsung.
i need the phone for my hobby of geocaching.
so the fact that i rooted and lag fixed is wholly samsungs own fault. If they had just admitted there was a fault and let me return the phone I would not have done it.
Yup, it's Official for Hong Kong running FROYO.ZSJPD now.

Whilst I am here ~ I installed (make that read attempted) to install the official Froyo using Kies yesterday. What a total disaster it turned out to be.
It did not help I'd just done a lengthy surgical procedure just prior to attempting the upgrade and nor did it help I only had a couple of hours before having to get ready to brief my team for the next surgical op but suffice to say my mind was not completely focused on the task at hand in upgrading the phone.
Anyway, I'd done all the normal tasks on the phone; removed both SIM & Memory card, checked the 3-Button Recovery was in place should I need it later, used a dedicated Samsung USB lead and connected to Kies.
At first all seemed well..... right up to the point when the phone's screen suddenly turned a bright Yellow and on the PC the Upgrade process froze.
I left it for around 30 minutes but it was clear, the phone was not responding.
I unconnected the phone, took out the battery, left it out for a good 30 seconds and tried to switch on the phone but no, it did not want to play....
Anyway, I now had to start thinking of the afternoon operation I had to perform so to speed things up I left a message on xda-devs asking if someone could leave a few links to assist me so that when I returned I could jump straight into solving the 'bricked' phone.
I received quite a few replies almost immediately and managed to exchange with them quite a few interesting observations.
In the end it was recommended I use Odin 1.3 and the JPO_JPO_U_JPP.tar file from Samsungfirmware.com
So, after installing and loading all I had a quick attempt before my afternoon procedure and again it failed part way through (at the Kernal upgrade part).
It was no use, I had to put it down, clear my head and get on with the surgery.
Later that evening back at home I tried once again, only this time before connecting I went into the 3-Button Recovery and cleared everything from the phone (reformat, cache, the lot) and once more loaded Odin.
In PDA, I selected the

Glad you are back in action.

How is your battery life? Mine is MUCH worse since 2.2 an I still cannot see what is causing it.
I've found that the new default for wifi is to NEVER sleep! So I changed that.
I'm trying 'spare parts' to spot anything odd - this shows that sensors are in use almost constantly too, though I don't know if thats normal. I have disabled sensor aiding for GPS and my screen is on manual brightness.
Will do a few powecycles to see if it helps.
The browser now seem slower, dunno if its Flash - but i've set plugin to 'on demand' in settings to see if that helps.
I do think Samsung have messed up somewhere and its screwed my previously excellent battery life - 2-3 days looks like it is down to 1 = and froyo was supposed to improve battery life!!!!
I've not had chance yet to do any intensive activity on the phone.. Sunday is the day when I help my wife on our farm which normally involves me sorting out the damage her horses cause ~ fixing gates which they often manage to knock down during the week. Later and for a bit of peace and solitude I take the dogs out for a good long walk.Nightmare. Glad you got it fixed. Ive recovered from my huff a bit now and have found that flash player does infact work, it was just the site I was trying or the app that connected me that didnt work. Also froyo is much faster than unlagfixed eclair and if I hadnt done the lagfix before i might be happy with the speed now. the gps though is much worse. Havent had another chance to try anything different like turning off agps. Strangely though my battery seems to last much longer. 72% when i went to bed last night, 71% when i got up 6 hours later. It used to drop about 5%
Hey tempest7,
Hong Kong here too and just upgraded to 2.2.
Everything works fine for me except I am having MAJOR issues with Email 2.2. I can download emails but it keeps locking up and sloooows down my SGS until it locks up. I had no issues with Email before the upgrade.
Is Email working for you after the upgrade to froyo? cheers.
Don't bother using Kies, use Odin instead.I have had so many problems trying to update to 2.2 using Kies. I have deleted all files on my SD card which have a file extension of longer than 16 characters - now the ATP Aplication works on my Samsung Galaxy S (instead of doing the looping stop and start), but when I run Kies, there is a bubble in the top right saying "Connecting the device, please wait" although this has been showing now for the last 20 minutes.
I have tried restarting my computer and running "Driver Recovery" in Kies, and also setting the usb mode to Kies, and selecting TW Launcher as default.
My phone just wont connect to Kies
When's this shit hitting North America ><
Next year for sure man, by the time 3.0 we will be getting the Froyo everyone wants so badly.
But trust me, 2.2 will be old cave man software once you see 2.3 and 3.0 to be the norm on all newer phones.
And then you will be like, OMG WHERES 2.3? and then OMG WHERE IS 3.0
Well guess what, FORGET IT!
Okay, this is what I have learned ~ The 'Official' Froyo is available now.
By the 11th Nov ALL SGS phones will have access to the 'Official' Froyo.
Re the Filesystem:
This 'Official' Froyo has alterations (don't know what they are) to the RFS but THIS IS NOT a replacement. That is still in development and should come at a later to be determined date.
