Android 2.3.3 "Gingerbread" Update
Anyone who purchased a 2011-released Android phone, which includes the Samsung Infuse 4G, is eligible to receive the latest version of the smartphone operating system, Android 2.3.3 ("Gingerbread").[10] Either AT&T will roll the update to the phone over-the-air (possibly via Wi-Fi) or the user may need to upload the update to a computer and connect the phone to the computer to install the new OS; AT&T's priority is the former method. Phones that are harder to update and need a larger OS file will need to connect via USB.[11]
As of 09/14/2011 AT&T rolled out a 14.5MB maintenance update with unknown contents. Firmware 2.2.1, Baseband I997UCKH1, Kernel 2.6.32.9, Build FROYO.UCKH1. No word from AT&T on the previously mentioned Gingerbread update release date.[12]
Legal battle
- Samsung and Apple have filed at least 30 lawsuits against each other in 10 countries which San Jose court, California has refused Apple's lawsuit request to block sales of Samsung's Infuse 4G and Galaxy Tab 10.1.[13]
