Captivate owners, your time is nigh! Today marks the day that 3 of the 4 major US carriers have brought the Froyo update to their Galaxy S phones. This update is performed via the Kies mini software, and it’s highly recommended that you backup pertinent information before proceeding. No word on when/if this update is coming over-the-air, so unless you’re really uncomfortable with updating this way, we don’t recommend you wait on AT&T to push it out to ya. Full download and instructions available at the source link.
Some of the features include:
· USB Tethering
· Mobile Hotspot
· Flash 10.1 Support
· Enhanced Microsoft Exchange Support (Auto-Discovery, Global Address list look-up, Increased Security Features, and Exchange Calendars)
· Speed and Performance Optimizations
· Ability to Install Apps Directly to SDcard
· More details in the “Android Froyo 2.2 Information For The Captivate” section on Samsung’s site.
Also, in AT&T Froyo news, they informed us via Twitter just about a half-hour ago that the Aria will receive the update tomorrow.
HTC Aria lovers–the Android 2.2 update is coming TOMORROW! Check back for more details soon: http://go-att.us/ggdw
Great to finally see 2.2 making its way to more phones…just in time for 2.3 to start dropping. But you won’t hear me complaining, as I just love my Froyo.
