Samsung pulls out the Galaxy S Froyo update due to bugs?

21 October, 2010
As you probably know last week Samsung released the official update that takes the I9000 Galaxy S to Android 2.2 for the Scandinavian region. But just as we thought that worldwide availability is a matter...

    And that's another reason why I love my sony ericsson x10, well yes I know you made fun of me because it took the company a lot of time to release 2.1, but at least it's much better than waiting all this time to get a buggy, unstable froyo!

    My x10 is already fast, stable, and snappy. Even in several reviews people pointed out that it doesn't have some lag such as the SGS. And now my phone will even improve further after the latest upgrade to 2.1! Well no need to laugh on me now because both of us will have 2.1 right ?

    And god only knows when will samsung release froyo again, since most of us know that samsung are really terrible when it comes to support and updates.

      Yes nokia updates its phones, but update fixes (if it fix) one thing and makes a bug to another that has worked before.

          good luck with your Win7 phone, sounds like the old Apple OS for the iphone (1 task at a time) lmao :-P

          as for the Nokia user i do like the phones has an N95 for over 2 years before going android, however the app store is a joke

          but then it depends on your willingness to learn how to use the phone you selected and did you select the right phone for your needs

          i love my Galaxy S and although i do have to do the occasional reboot, it works for me
          battery life could be better but you have the same issue with all large touchscreens and if that was a deal breaker you would choose a blackberry, which for Nokia users bennifit knocks spot's off the Ovi store with app market

              I agreed. Kies is the worst sync software I ever encountered.

                  Anonymous, 21 Oct 2010Time for me to leave Android and it's buggy fragmented os a... moreWindows 7 hasnt been released idiot, if there are bugs, they will be found very soon. there is NO software that get relseased that doesn't have bugs. Its the nature of developement. P.s windows is as bare as it gets with regards to an OS.

                    I like my Galaxy S very much, and I am happy with my purchase.
                    Looking forward to having Froyo on my phone

                      [deleted post]FYI SGS with Android 2.1 is waaaaay better than iPhone 4, Nokia N8, HTC Desire. Yes there is a small problem with Froyo, but you seem to have forgot iPhone 4 antenna-gate, Nokia's ultra outdated OS. HTC has its problems too, just look on their page forum.

                        Well, Samsung has many faults but SGS is a great phone.
                        I'm just happy mine has no lag or other problems. Yes Froyo is nice and to wait is hard, but finally Samsug will sort it out. If not, they'll lose billions, once the word gets out Samsung cannot support their products properly.
                        I just hope they get rid of Kies and put a basic C++ or java app instead which just updates and backs-up the phone, no fancy and untested .Net Framework crp.

                            OMG!!!! it's Omnia HD all over again! I never ended up getting the Omnia after what happened to it and how its owners were left stranded. Now I see the same be the case with the galaxy s. but i will be optimistic..... I love my galaxy, still say its the best phone i ever used but kies! eewww! i have a feeling it's not even made by Samsung, maybe by some pokey third party company.

                              Honestly speaking, first i want to appreciate samsung for a lovely device that brings life alive but, i am so disappointed with the galasys s battery life.
                              i cant use the phone for a complete day without charging it like 3 time within the interval of 6 hours.
                              i am very unhappy and i expect samsung to reply me personally on how to improve the battery life cos have done all modification as instructed in the phone to save the battery life.
                              My email address is matoclarke@yahoo.com i purchase this phone with so much money and i expect an explanation and possible modifications to fixing this problem.

                                    this is called samsung...thats the reason Xperia x10 took this time to update to 2.1..to realese a stable lag free os...SE rocks...nd after this i would be happy that SE should take time as long they need to update to 2.2...at least it would be better than this..
                                    iPhone4 nd X10..the best
                                    glad i own both :)
                                    still many of u who want to upgrade to a new device get an iphone4 or the X10
                                    cuz samsung galaxy s nd n8 are just............................FAIL

                                      what a unprofessional way.
                                      they were saying (before release) that it is going through last phase of testing. this shows their standard of testing.
