[Q] Using the i9000 2.3 on USA Vibrant. - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can I use the 2.3 update UK is getting for my USA Vibrant? I would like to know if I can just used the UK Kies and maybe it will update to 2.3?
PS: I tried searching for the same thread I posted but couldn't find any. Sorry if this has been posted already. If u found another thread with the same question please link me, thank you.
Update: Found a post about the same subject. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780728

No you shouldn't. It will most definitely not work.

Just after I was about to root, and after I even ask this question.. I get this...!
(Check Engadget or the Samsung website.
We get the 2.3 update in maybe late May or at least June... hopefully.

Where the hell do people keep getting a timeline for us based phones? No where in that article did it mention WHEN we were getting the update. It only said that we were.

Wifi Calling

Do you devs think the Wifi calling is hardware or software related? G2 just released the feature and I'm wondering if we can port it over to the vib.
http://www.androidcentral.com/t-mobile-g2-getting-ota-update-enable-wifi-calling
I'm no dev but this has to be software based. I am also going to venture a guess and say that software will probably only run on 2.2 out of the box.
i saw the company (kineto) that developed this using a vibrant for a demo. Supposedly it is made for 2.2 ..... I think it's going to come down to someone pulling it from that OTA and trying it out.
We should ask some of the top devs on the G2 if they can post that apk for us when they get the ota. I have been waiting for this feature forever so I will be on the lookout!

Yea I saw that picture of the test. I'd say its just an app running on the phone so it makes me wonder if incoming calls would go through wifi. Also this isn't UMA so no handing off to the cell network, is either this app is on or not, is my understanding.
I understand this is a dev related question but think it would be better suited for the q&a section

Moved to Q & A

Should I ota update?

On December15 the official froyo is getting released through OTA. If I update my phone which is rooted and has oclf lag fix will it soft brick and is there a way to update without getting soft bricked? How?
Don't comment saying install a froyo ROM I don'tlike roms and I will not use them at least not now.
Thanks in advance

Research shows the update folder for root seems to be the culprit for ota brick. I suggest unroot your phone and install the ota. I've done it twice with no issues so far.

where did you got your information on the official froyo release date? Really wanted to know, since I couldn't find it online. You could always odin back to OTA I think.

Ouch... There are plenty of people here who run stock roms. I would assume he rooted for benefits like tethering, metamorph and many others like the lagfix. IMO It was a viable question worth answering.
OTA is fine for rooted phones. The lag fix probably will be an issue.
I always wait for a developer to take the ota, enable root and make it a flashable zip.much better than ota in my opinion.
Not sure how you think you know the release date... You need to qualify that.

So you were born a genius on rooting android phones right ? Its been a few days since I first rooted give me a break. God.
Thanks guys according to what most of you said...
To be on the safe side I should undo the lagfix then unroot. Then do the ota I'm not comfortable with flashing new ROMS and stuff it gives me a feeling of Miscomfort maybe ill grow out of it

If they change the architectural software structure of Ice-cream(2.4 or 3.1?) then no it would not upgrade, But I would bet a dollar the phone will be able to handle at least 2 or 3 more upgrades before software and apps will require a larger ram and duo core cpu
BTW way to the other posting....... froyo, gingerbread etc are the code names they gave each version of android....... 2.2, 2.3 etc

Well either you or he was confused. There's more than a couple Gingerbread themes out there, but thats all they are is themes. There is one EXPERIMENTAL Gingerbread build out, but as such, its not stable and could not be used daily.
Its being worked on, but Samsung has not even released the 2.2 source yet. When that happens, maybe some doors will be opened in that direction.
But as of right now there is NO stable Gingerbread rom, no matter what your friend told you. If there was you would have gotten actual help, instead of some of the less serious responses.

You guys are ass holes and also idiots. The OP and the guy you quoted asked and stated real things. Just because gingerbread currently isn't stable doesnt mean the guy wasnt running it on his phone.

LG Mobile USA: Optimus One does not get Android 2.3

i dnt know if its posted here earlier but i just read this on lgp500.ru website that no 2.3 update for lg optimus one for usa .. i'm from india but i was wondering what if lg wont update our device as well its to late aswell
Edited: calm down We will get an update soon.. cheers..
All I can see on lgp500.ru is a directory listing. You know, there was no need to shoot the messenger.
I think he meant that website:
Code:

Here is the translated version of the article he's referring to.

LG aint that lazy
This is absolutely false. LG has already confirmed AND leaked the firmware, plus sent out 01's with Gingerbread for reviews. And another thing.. The blog post is based on a really old article from last year: http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_optimus_one_p500_wont_be_getting_gingerbread_update-news-2129.php
this all thing is a fake information. We will get an update.

Guys, remember that US carriers impose and regulate update schedules, builds and stuff like these for their phones (even if, internally, they are identical to a normal P500)! So, there may be some truth to this story after all...
As an example to their mucking around with the builds, the US version of all Android phones have tethering disabled.
This thread should be closed and deleted.

Please stop. There is NO truth in this at all. Even the person who posted the news in his blog admitted it was a mistake, and based on old news.
Any "news" on this should just be banned here. All the same crap all the time.
@OP: Kindly add [SOLVED BS] or whatever tag to the subject.
It's so sad to hear that
This is a lie. I think half finished the firmware does not throw.

[Q] ICS update

Is the official ICS update that is rolling out (not yet for Sprint) any different from the one released for Virgin Mobile that is part of the various ICS ROMs out there?
What about the Boost mobile one.. forgot the name but i saw it under roms page
What ever happened to the rule that YOU COULDN'T POST UNLESS YOU HAVE 25 posts else where? lol. Gotta love when the first thing someone asks is the same question that has been asked 20 times in the same week.
BUT SERIOUSLY!? HOW WOULD we know if it is different? how would any person on this site know when and how and where it is rolling out?
To answer your questions. YES IT IS DIFFERENT! How? idk. no one knows unless you're a direct employee of HTC or sprint that works directly in that department developing the software for the phone. Last time I checked... they would never leak any information like that out unless it is already out.

I believe it is essentially the same. I'm trying to get some guys to work on a Jelly Bean ROM. I don't have ICS yet so I will probably skip it and go straight to 4.1
