Galaxy S Android 2.2 Froyo update begins to trickle out

galaxy-s-froyo-image4.jpg

Based on breathless reports we're seeing on Twitter and in the XDA-Developers' forums, it would appear that Samsung has just pushed out the official Android 2.2 Froyo update for its Galaxy S as promised. Our Nordic friends are the first to report seeing the build I9000 JPM update in the latest version of Samsung's Kies PC software. It's early days though, so do let your fellow i9000 owners know how it goes in the comments below.

Ooooooh fingers crossed this end too!!

Hmmmm Kies just told me to update it from 1.5.1 to 1.5.3 and now it doesn't run anymore even after a reboot LOL!

Will have to uninstall and reinstall and will try again....

EDIT: No update yet so still running JM1 - If the new update doesnt fix my alarm clock I'm getting rid of the phone anyway...

Ive been using this update for some time now and never had a problem with it. I upgraded from 2.1 about 3 days after getting the handset.

It is a far better speed improvement over 2.1, but i found it still worked better when it had the OCLF installed.

Other than that, there are a few tweeks here and there on the main screen, but since i run Launcherpro, it doesnt really effect me.

How do I go about doing that? Do you have a guide that you can recommend?

Hmmmm I don't have my phone on me at the moment so can't check but I think you power on while holding volume up and home?

It should come up with a list of options with reset being one of them - Use the volume buttons to scroll up and down and the home button to select.

Don't forget to sync the phone to your google account and use SMS Backup+ first so you don't lose any contacts, calendar or text messages! Ooooh and make sure there's no photos saved on the phone memory that you want to keep!

Good luck!

Samsung announced it was a staggered roll-out with nordic regions getting it first.

If you've installed any lagfix remove it before updating or it can cause some very odd things (market missing etc) that might only come back after a phone reset.

You should be able to upgrade from official roms via kies without losing settings/apps, but some prefer to wipe still anyway.

According to the xda forums have a registry trick that can fool kies into thinking you are in a nordic region to get the update right now, it does not cause your phone to change imei or region or anything after the update, it only fools kies to let you download it, the update itself is the same for all regions it seems.

Firstly, I downloaded and installed the latest version of kies (Kies_1.5.3.10093_82) and ran it and connected phone to PC, chose kies connection mode and once detected clicked firmware update option in kies. It said it couldn't be updated. I kept kies running, minimised it and ran regedit, located HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\DeviceDB and searched for string SoftwareRevision, HIDSWVER and ProductCode under DeviceDB. Once located, changed them to:

SoftwareRevision to “I9000XXJF3/I9000SWC/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3″

HIDSWVER to “I9000XXJF3/I9000SWC/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3″

ProductCode to “GT-I9000HKDXEE”

Closed regedit and swapped back to the running kies and clicked firmware upgrade again. This time it gave me the option for the 2.2 update.

Much better that you read through it here - http://www.careace.net/2010/10/15/galaxy-s-froyo-2-2-update-gt-i9000-device-country/ or here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809423

tried that and it did not work.

As far as I'm aware, the update is only compatible with a GT-I9000, for phones from Europe, Australia, Asia and Africa. If you have the correct model and reside in a supported country, what stage didn't work for you? Kies connection issues or unable to locate relevant sections in registry?

Worked first time for me, using O2 and from UK.

Thats why, I live in Canada.

Looks like the issue might be the new firmware not being approved to use protected apps. Hopefully this will resolve itself after a few days, when Google updated the market for my new firmware.

Ive been on the firmware for some time and not experienced any such issues. Why do you think the firmware is to blame?

to reset:

Settings>Privacy>Factory Data Reset.

Make sure you backup your contacts first!

    • I am not a US citizen nor a Trump fan. Respect to both left and right. But I will, for the sake of fun, predict something for my own. There will come a day when the US and China will collide like titans ( over Taiwan or anything else ). Then, on that day, some people in this comment section will realize how good an idea it was to become independent in areas like that. ( Or atleast try )
    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen by Usama Jawad Microsoft Edge may not be the most popular browser out there, but it does receive quite frequent updates that sometimes bring surprising new features and axe others that are not as popular. Now, Microsoft has detailed some of the new security enhancements that it has introduced in Edge for Business, typically used by commercial customers. Microsoft has emphasized that security features are baked into Edge for Business and offer native integration with security and governance tools like Defender and Purview. Browser sessions are governed by default on managed devices but can also be governed through dedicated work profiles on unmanaged devices. An important aspect in this area is controlling the use of shadow AI. We have talked about this before, but it essentially restricts employees from using unsanctioned AI apps through data loss prevention (DLP) policies, with Edge redirecting them to trusted AI services like Microsoft 365 Copilot. This feature, available as a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) license, ensures that confidential data never exits AI boundaries set by your organization in Purview. Additionally, Microsoft also has strong DLP policies for contractors. Contractors leveraging a Entra ID-joined work profile provisioned by their contracting company on a device managed by their actual employer can be restricted from downloading files locally. In such scenarios, the file is saved on the contracting firm's OneDrive rather than being downloaded locally. Another useful Edge security feature disallows copying and pasting from unmanaged locations and apps. Similarly, DLP policies can be configured at a granular level to restrict screenshots or downloading of files from certain locations. In the same vein, IT admins can block the installation of extensions, hosted apps, themes and scripts, and control if users can install extensions from external locations. They can also enable the installation of specific extensions and allow users to request access to certain extensions, so that they can be managed on a case-by-case basis. Finally, Edge for Business now has an on-device AI model that uses computer vision to see what's on your screen and block potentially malicious content immediately. This does not rely on site reputation, as it simply monitors what is being displayed on your screen, which means that it is effective against malicious content that takes over your screen and employs scareware tactics. Since this is an on-device AI model, it does use your system's resources, so it's enabled by default only on devices with at least 2GB of RAM and four CPU cores. You can find more details in the Microsoft Mechanics video here.

    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.
    • Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?
