2.2 froyo update

When are we going to get this update we were promised when I bought the phone, and I don't want to hear the phone was just put out and we should be happy with what we have. That is not what we were promised and other countries and other phones have it and for the price of our plans we should have it also.

Hi.

Verizon Wireless began pushing Android 2.2, Froyo, to the Samsung Fascinate on April 21, 2011. Enhancements include support for Adobe Flash Player. You can visit www.verizonwireless.com/fascinatesupport for more information and download instructions for the software update. Customers will also be able to download the update manually by going to Settings > About Phone > Update Phone.

Thank you for your patients,

For those who are very exercised about Froyo (AKA v. 2.2), a quick visit to the Android developers's site could be illuminating. Quite a few of the advantages touted for Froyo are already built into the Fascinate.

http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.2.html

Maybe you have specific needs that are not addressed by the phone's design that will be fixed by Froyo, but I doubt it will be a panacea if you really hate the phone as it now exists. Which begs the question, why did you keep the darn thing?

Honestly I dont care about the update lol you can do more to the phone if you mod it any ways but the fact that the other high end phones verizon has that have 2.2 as promised by the manufacturer just makes me a lil upset you know what I mean?

MaxBuck

No, I don't understand the idea that people are upset they don't have 2.2 without even knowing what advantages it would provide. That seems like they're upsetting themselves for no reason.

I have 2.2, and can say honestly, it isn't a huge diference from a properly working/stable dl09. flash is properly implimented in dl09, the gaps in flash lite can be filled by skyfire. the GPS issues have been fixed for most with dl09. and dl09 is a zippy release. honestly, most of what I have noticed with froyo is cosmetic, with few exceptions.

Can I ask when you got the phone? How long have you had it?

XDA and Android central have had froyo for weeks.

Go there and get an odin package for your phone. Quick and easy. I reccomend Adrynalyne Superclean 2.6 (Froyo)

Let's see how fast this gets deleted.

yep...had mine now for a while

started running froyo (dl30) since the day (or so) it was leaked, I'm now running EB01. it's almost impossible, with the guides out there to brick one of these phones. it's not a windows mobile phone, android is linux based, so it's basically made to be open source, and developed by users.

My issue is that several of the apps I would like to have on my phone are not available for the simple reason, the developer is requiring 2.2 or later. Verizon I hope that you shortly will help your customers and resolve this issue.. and allow us to update our phones to 2.2.. Thank You for listening

nickjr

I was hoping Verizon would get this update out ASAP, several of the apps I wish to install on my fascinate require 2.2 to install and definitely in need of Adobe Flash player.. Thank You for listening...

Is There hidden fees for tampering with the phone like that? can you get charged any way what so ever for rooting?

PJNC284

No verizon can't do anything. The R word has been proven perfectly legal. The thing is, just don't expect to complain to verizon if you have an issue with a modified device (granted you can always go back to stock and then complain. lol)

gsp10

I Might consider it then lol
