By on December 17, 2010

Sprint Samsung Intercept Froyo DetailAccording to screenshots taken from internal Sprint systems, Sprint is set to roll out Android 2.2 Froyo for the Samsung Intercept beginning today.

The update will enable official support for Sprint’s Mobile Hotspot service as well as fix certain longstanding bugs and issues such as the inability to access the Google homepage and add the unbranded TeleNav GPS Navigation app.

The build number will be pushed up to DL05 with the baseband version being pushed up to S:M910.05.S.DL.05.

Update: Sprint has published the relevant changelog for the update and has confirmed its rollout. In a break from previous updates, the update is also being pushed via Google’s OTA servers.

    Hoping this is true, and also applies to the Virgin Mobile version of the Intercept!

    Confirmed by Sprint to be coming to Sprint phones. No word on Virgin Mobile, though.

    Epic FAIL! Tons of Intercepts nationwide are now bricks this morning. Sprint’s phone system is on overload.

    Dito… tried to update and had to restore factory defaults to get Intercept to boot. Error was could not find file cache/S:M910.05.S.DL05 even though I could browse to that folder and see it. Now it is gone and I can’t get it downloaded again.

    @kris Did you get the live wallpaper with your 2.2 update? I updated but still no live wallpaper.

    Intercept has disabled some of the ARM calls needed for Flash and Live Wallpapers. There’s some debate in the hacking community about if Samsung disabled this on purpose, or if Intercept is downclocked too slow to benefit from those calls.

    And then you get into the debate as to if Intercept was underclocked intentionally, in order to stop it from competing with Moment and Galaxy S…

    Updated to Froyo…now GPS does not work. Frustrating.

    Edward, try clearing your A-GPS data. If you have difficulty with that, I would suggest a Factory Data Reset.

    I hate the update! My phone can’t do half the things it use to. I lost half of my contacts, and were do you put in the speed dial numbers and ring tones
