Dont bother with this update install jm9 with Doc's RomMod v5 slim version plus theme pack and lag fix via mcr scripts. Gps is amazing phone is fast and quadrant and linpack scores are very good might as well wait for a better version to come out in a couple of months or a custom cooked rom.

But isn't something out of the box more appealing and easy for a normal user? I mean not everybody is too techie go ahead and install lag-fixes. Samsung must be knowing already that there's lot of talks about their under-performing rfs. Then why rfs again? And yes, fm is now stereo, I tested that and it does stream stereo output now. Thanks.

The official Froyo is not so bad, at least not worse than any earlier firmware, and and it finds gps a lot faster than before, and I am not sure but the FM-radio sounds less mono and maybe its stereo. I guess Samsung made us expect to much with these hardware-specs, but they did a big misstake using rfs, and that is why so many are disappointes with this official update even though it is not really bad at all IF we inatall lagfix.

Continuing from my last post, here are few issues those I personally experience with the "OFFICIAL" 2.2 (jpm) update :
-- lag lag lag !!! la la la la la !!! lag lag lag !!! where's mr. banana come dance \:d/ :>P Too much of lag. Unfortunately that scary rfs is still seems to be there I guess. Samsung, for God sake bury that beloved rfs of yours into deep grounds of earth and get your logics straight with the proven ext2 or ext4. Nobody wants to be test-lab rat after spending too much $s for an sgs unit !
-- This build is not stable. I tried to record HD for 17 seconds before I hit stop. And then guess what? I was presented with an lovely error :-| "The video recording failed!" ouch!! I opened up the gallery and was happy to it was still there but with only 14 secs. What happenend with the remaining 3 secs.? don't know...
-- Talking about GPS fix, I never tried GPS before on 2.1. With my first experience with the GPS fix, I went up to the roof top and started waiting to get the GPS fix. It took about 20 minutes for finding for the signal before I finally gave up. Then I downloaded GPS Test from the market and resumed waiting for the fix. It took about 15 minutes when I finally got the fix with SNR value > 40. The coordinates were almost accurate - nothing serious to worry about (1-2 meters accuracy I would say, yep!). But the problem doesn't end here. I came down to my room, closed the app and reopened it, and it was now in infinite loop, no re-fix!
-- The gallery is too slow (thanks to rfs again). There are only 4 pics and one video (yes that half one :>P ). I hit gallery to open it and it sits thinking whether to show thumbnails or wait for me to change my mood to close it and open something. WTF ??? How come this thing lags this much after the update ????
Samsung read this!
Will keep posting on more as I go along test it more. Otherwise I'm planning to revert back to jg4. Too bad experience with this "official" update, the much awaited and all that #:-S.

Just do not want to defend 2.2 by saying this release is awesome and I'm happy with it ( I earlier though I was :( ). The truth is I'm NOT HAPPY WITH THIS RELEASE OF 2.2. (jpm)
Samsung If you are reading this, Kindly pull this update of yours off from every source where it's been published lately. I want gsmarena as well to bring this word into samsung's attention by making a separate post regarding issues with the official 2.2 build, if possible. There are really serious issues with this ROM. I will try to keep posting what I find wrong this ROM. I request people as well who also has updated to 2.2 to cross-check if they have the same issues with the official 2.2. Samsung kindly do read and give us the stable & lag-free update. Keeping this post short, will post issues in subsequent posts. Also, my english is not too good, so people kindly bear with me. Thanks.

After the update the device is very laggy! I don't recommend it at all. Samsung needs to do more testing before releasing Froyo.
Froyo should be the best not the opposite way around, what good is froyo with lag!! WTF sammy, go to hel* you and your device. No more samsung for me

For all the people complaining about KIES and have issues connecting or upgrading through KIES. Your problem is that you don't have the latest KIES version. As mentioned by others here, KIES is probably the clearest indication of continuous software development.
As an example, when I had the I8000, I could not for the life of me figure out wht KIES does not show an upgrade when winmo 6.5 was available, until I upgraded to the latest KIES and bingo, there was the upgrade. The simplest fix for any KIES problem is to stop complaining about KIES or samsung here and use your intelligence to upgrade to the latest KIES. That's why these softwares include the function to check for upgrades, everything requires upgrades in this day and age.

I have both the X10 and the SGS, to my disappointment even after the update SGS still suffers from noticeable lag! I guess I just have to deal with it. I'm looking forward for the 2.1 upgrade on the X10 and I'll give you the feedback afterwards.
But it's really funny that 1.6 in the X10 is snappier and faster than froyo on the SGS! But when it comes to gaming my sgs beats the x10 no questions asked. I just would like it not to have this terrible lag, I mean come on this is android not windows mobile.
