I have firmware version,,, with 2.1 update 1 beneath it.. is this a sign that the froyo should be coming to my phone soon or what... and do i need to keep the samsung kies i installed on the phone or should i get rid of it before the froyo update?

Are you going to get the my touch 4g?

[Tanman831]

do u have to pay for the gps or is it free?

[Jabbajawz4life]

Well I got my update last week(Chicago). I don't really notice much of a difference except the stuff you said in this video.

i,m in no hurry for 2.2 because my in-law got a 2.2 update for his droid and ever since then his phone went to shit. It's all slow and less responsive i hope when they send it out no problems will happen but imma wait and see how everyones phone take the update before i do it..

@MsBadAssXIII ... I like the HD camcorder icon, especially when I need to quickly shoot a video (such as the Tesla video I posted in here, shot while I was in my car and could not really see the screen since I was moving).

To shoot a video without that camcorder icon one has to:

Click the camera icon.

The click the arrow on the left to get to the camcorder icon.

Then click the camcorder icon.

Then click the "Start" icon to start shooting.

That's ridiculous.

[HeartInSanFrancisco]

@rohw0016 Great. Thanks for posting this info so people can see how the roll-out is going.

[TheDsb03]

when is the update for 2.2 coming out

[HeartInSanFrancisco]

@TheDsb03 ... I thought this month (October), but I don't know.

If the old MyTouch is any indication, T-Mobile is currently rolling out an update to FroYo (2.2) for that phone. So T-Mobile is aware of and capable of updating its Android-based phones.

So IMHO any day now we should get notice that the Vibrant can be updated to 2.2.

dude i love how you get ever great phone for the vibrant

[raw415]

if i rooted my phone would updating it brick my phone??

[Zerodynamix]

I recently bought a brand new samsung vibrant in a box still from eBay. It's a tmobile phone and I have a tmobile sim card. When I use my sim card with it and start it I don't get any message or anyway to download or update firmware. I want to fix the gps and all. What are my only solutions for fixing it? I just had my phone for a day. Also, what's some good stuff I should download for my vibrant? Still learning... xD reply!!

After your OTA update, has your gmail changed? When you click on gmail and you see your list of emails, there used to be little boxes to the left of the emails you could check to delete multiple emails at once. After the update, my little boxes are gone. Is this the case for you as well?

[HeartInSanFrancisco]

@seanp666 ... The option is still there on mine. The boxes on the left of the in-box are unchecked (albeit they are a light shade if gray against a black background so they are not easy to see).

I press the box next to each e-mail and a green checkmark appears. At the same time three boxes pop up at bottom of screen saying "Mark read" "Add star" and "Delete."

I can uncheck any e-mail where I change my mind. If I uncheck all the e-mails the boxes at the bottom disappear.

Thanks for the video. Still waiting for my update >:(

[HeartInSanFrancisco]

Also, I went on T-Mobile, My Account, and the update was NOT available, that I could find anyway. So it seems this is a T-Mobile OTA update only.

[gdude6064]

I'm still waiting for mine

[Sader2202]

@gdude6064  me you both. sucks

[jokekill117]

where do you update

cause on kies i clicked update it said its the newest verion

[HeartInSanFrancisco]

@jokekill117 ... I imagine that Kies would be now allowing the update since it has been fixed.

Or it may not have the new update if T-Mobile wants people to use its version Ji6. So I would use T-Mobile only.

[HeartInSanFrancisco]

@jokekill117 ... Also, I am not sure, but getting the update via Samsung Kies is NOT a T-Mobile authorized procedure in the U.S., for the T-Mobile Vibrant.

So IMHO using Kies to download and install the update is at your own risk. If something goes wrong then T-Mobile may not honor the one-year Vibrant warranty.

Note: If there's a delay in getting the update notice from T-Mobile I suggest giving T-Mobile tech support a call and see if they have info on getting the update.
