XDA/Samsung - Vibrant General

Hello Guys,
My name is John, I recently became the social media analyst at Samsung mobile. I wanted to start opening the lines of communication between XDA and Samsung. First I wanted to say I have noticed your work on our devices on the XDA forums. I think you guys do an outstanding job, I myself am a developer for mobile devices. So let’s get down to business, we’re going to be in Austin from March 10-15 for the SXSW(south by southwest http://sxsw.com/convention). I was wondering if any of you guys are going so that we could meet up and share a couple of ideas I have. I am looking forward to meeting some of you GREAT developers!
Thanks in advance,
John

Awesome man, nice to see a hand out.....
any insight on when source will be released?
Did you hear about the #NeverAgain Samsung movement?

Bump, would love to see connections between XDA and Samsung to improve on the great hardware provided by Samsung. Too bad I am in Dallas though...

Very cool to get an official Samsung voice in here.
Want a suggestion? Samsung should pay out bounties to devs who do special things for Samsung handsets. For instance, did you know that Supercurio's work has turned the SGS into a credible audiophile DAP? It sounds better than many dedicated DAP + amp combos, which is extraordinary. Samsung should reward that!

Partnership
Partnership! That's the plan, you guys in my opinion, are the biggest influence to the android community.

If you guys are seriously planning on strengthening the relationship with XDA, take a cue from HTC, and put your source out quicker for us to play with. If you think the devs here are great now, open up that sandbox and you'll see what they can really do.
This is a great gesture though, I hope something great can come of it.

Partnership
Yes, I have been watching you guys work and I must say is very fantastic. I am here on behalf of Samsung to establish a partnership. Do you guys suggest me posting this in the development forums?

Nah, you'll get reamed if you post in the dev forum. I'm sure this thread has been noticed by all the dev teams.

Hi,
I suggest you to post a thread in the i9000 section, you've post everywhere except there, while it's the "main" branch of SGS
Does Samsung has planned to implement the wonderful Supercurio's work (like Voodoo great sound improvements) and to work with him?
Edit : I've read your're also a developper, so yes, you should post in dev sections

can you post your @samsung email so that we can verify you are the real deal? not to be offensive, but the internet is rampant with trolls and cons.

Welcome and thanks for joining us. Make sure you check out our devs and themers. There is some amazing talent here. And these guys do this as a hobby!

He's from samsung mobile usa that's probably why he didn't post on the i9000 section.

yes please, please make sure and confirm to someone here that you are the actual Samsung developer, we have many of these kinds of little kids who fake this, and that makes our trust go down on the real people.

HASHTAG FOR TWITTER: #NeverAgain * Update: Froyo OTA 1/21 - Source within 60 days *

EDIT: Well, some will say this effort had no impact, others will not be so naive and realize the voices of MANY of you were heard. Really applaud everyone... regardless if it helped or not, Samsung has stated that they have heard us AND that it's something they are not used to, but will make an effort... I feel like this is success.
OTA should start tomorrow. Source should be released very shortly after that:
http://opensource.samsung.com/
THANK YOU ALL FOR HELPING!!!
For those not certain why this thread was created: PLEASE READ
--------------------------------INITIAL POST BELOW------------------------
I generally remain calm and try and remain upbeat and defend... but the news (rumor/leak) about Samsung holding off the froyo release to sell more phones set me over the edge.
While nothing is confirmed, I still believe Samsung needs to be aware of just how pissed they are making our community. I'm not talking stupid class action, blah blah... I simply want our voice heard, and for a Froyo release to happen ASAP... but beyond that, I want them to adhere to the Open Handset Alliance and release their source for our developers.
http://www.openhandsetalliance.com/
I believe we all now who is going to put out a better product, and right now they (our developers) are handicapped because they do not have everything they need.
That said, we need to be organized!
We need twitter to trend AND we need to spread it all over Facebook! I am ignorant and have no interest in learning Facebook. I know the majority of you use it daily so I am going to rely on you guys for that!
To do this on twitter, we all need to use the same #hashtag. We also need to threaten something that means something to them... the whole problem is they are not updating to help with their sales (allegedly). Well, we need to threaten to never buy Samsung again.
Please use this #Hashtag:
#NeverAgain
would work.... it is easy to use, short and to the point.
An example: (just copy/paste this if you like)
[email protected] & @Samsungtweets I will never buy a Samsung product after the way you've treated your customers. #NeverAgain

Awesome, please do what you can people... the whole point is to be organized, make it trend on twitter and Samsung will be forced to respond. Maybe that is why I am so upset, they have not made any effort to debunk these rumors.
I personally am tired of defending them...
Do u suggest I keep saying it or just like once a day?
to be most effective, I think you should post this is all US galaxy s variant forums. Fascinate, Epic, Captivate, and the other one or two. Get all US Galaxy S users to do this too!
btw, i dont have a twitter account or have ever used it. any suggestions on how to post your message once i create a twitter account?
EDIT: i just set up a twitter account, how do i post that hashtag to samsung?
Creating an account is super easy (and the best way to keep up with our developers). Once you have the account created, just PM me if you need help.... you could just copy/paste what I have in the OP if you like.
#NeverAgain... waiting for a dual core HTC on TMO then dumping the vibrant...
I would never ever imagine this coming from you but you actually did a pretty good thread. I don't think it would make diffrence, people aren't going to follow up, XDA is a small portion of all samsung phones.
Like someone said samsung is known for their eletronics that are release as is, no follow up update. As big as they are they become greedy. Its a company out out for money, "making a new phone with new software" will get the most sales.
If they give us froyo now it will drop their new phone sales dramactecly (spelling). Because an old phone will be cheaper then a new phone The vibrant 4G isnt really a big update besides the FFC and HSPA+. Thereby the orignal vibrant.will get.bought.
Another thing to think about is when the vibrant 4G/plus gets out we will not get froyo right away, maybe a month after.

K, done. I doubt it will have any effect on whether we see updates for our Vibrants but at least I've contributed to the "user outrage", such as it is.

I agree... but we NEED to try.

[rant] Thhis community is seriously lacking.

There is NO organization here. No moderation. The bible isn't kept up to date, the different variations of the Tab are thrown all into one pot. The Dev forum is a HUGE mess. And there's no easy way to find the stock roms.
This seriously has to change. I see this as a huge mark on the community I consider myself a member of. Have you guys seen any of the other forums? Very nice. Especially the Vibrant forums where I come from. Why can't we have that kind of organization? It's seriously needed. Mods, where the hell are you guys? Why are you not doing your jobs and keeping this place cleaned up?
Noobs! Stop asking questions and search. I'm sick of seeing question threads posted in the development forum. I dunno about you, but I see a Q&A forum. USE IT.
Devs, maybe you guys can collaborate and make a super ROM that would be awesome and actually have everything working.
And would it kill someone to make an AT&T and T-Mobile ROM without the voice calls?

This place is a mess but it is a world apart from the vibrant thread. They may be organized but they will disembowel you for asking a noob question. They are 6 months ahead of us in development and experience. Their phone is distributed in mostly English speaking countries, many of our members struggle to understand our posts. Why don't you go away. You have caused more flaming in one thread than I have seen in months! Good job.

Brand New Galaxy Tab Wifi in box to dev or devs with working HoneyComb rom

Honestly would settle for Gingerbread. But I have sold a fair few of these and am getting asked all the time (and so do I want to know) when is it coming....
So here is the offer will give the lead dev a free band new 7" wifi tab along with keyboard doc and several 16-32gig sd cards (class 4) as well and a few beers and pizza's to all the team via donate.
If you want I have no problems in coordinating and updating the thread to make sure the latest info is in place.
Anyone interested just comment below, anyone one to check my bona fides PM me and I will send you my details.
I really need some Honey Love on the Galaxy Tab GT-P1010 soon!

Although you have good intentions, this topic is pretty meaningless and does not belong in the development section. This section is for posting dev projects/reference like builds/roms/kernels/tuts etc.
All the latest info goes into the actual HC dev topics that exists, what point would be in putting them here?
If you want to donate, donate.
Spacemoose1 is already doing his\her best to create a good working port and Dip7 (as much as I know) is not working on HC right now. So I doubt that your offer will change anything in HC development.
Spacemoose already has a new Tab on the way to his home, so I doubt he would need another one to continue working on his HC port.
But he is a fan of donations, so if anyone wants to donate, go to his thread and toss him some pizza & beer money
Spacemoose's HC thread;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1020167
Like I understand it spacemoose1 has both a cdma and a gsm tablet on the way, but it sort of makes sense for this guy to send him a 1010 wifi only tab, I've heard that hardware is somewhat different. So if there's very little development done on 1010 then it's understandable that he wants to make sure something gets done.

Dude, there isnt even a custom froyo rom for the 1010 so what makes you think this topic is going magically make a HC appear?
It is a good idea though for the OP to send spacemoose a 1010 and when another build is created it can be tweaked and tested on it.
Its the biggest problem that there is nothing, and my coding is so fecken rusty acid would not help otherwise would start it myself...... Can't wait for sammy to do it hell it will be the next rapture event by the time they get there job done but by then..... Well it will be the rapture so that means everyone using windows phone i guess >:~}

Its why I created the thread in the hopes that Space or others would be interested in starting this then I would have no probs in sending them a dev tab to play with and when they are done send them a brand new one also!!
Like I said I have shipped lots of these devices to UK and Ireland and would love to be able to say to clients its actually going to happen and some time soon??? but hehe knowing my luck a few good devs start it get it done then in the same week sammy then release the offical rom

If u consider xda a mall, then yes I am lol. Still as I said, its a matter of courtesy. We are under no obligation to follow any request from other forums(that I'm aware of at least). I said something because paul is a huge figure as Android community goes and he deserves respect as does everyone. Android community is built on the backs of people liked him.
In comparison your post is pointless & if it want explicitly directed at me I would be removing it as it is unconstructive and is a direct attack (for lack of a better weird) on another user which is not tolerated. as it its I'll let it slide, but don't try and push it, I doubt another mod will do the same.

Atrix forum going out of control

Take a look at post #20. Is a resumed part of what I meant from the start. Sorry for causing so much troubles.
Out of control???
I'm on this forum nightly, usually moving questions to the Q&A. I don't have the time to read every thread in every section, that's why we Mods rely on ''you'' to report off topic, rude, etc. posts; and then we will deal with it accordingly.
Thanks for your concern however. I will try to give this forum a bit more attention. In the meantime, use the reporting system that is in place, if you feel a thread or posts deserves special attention, in keeping with the XDA rules (see sig for link).

Swiftks how do you get to become a moderator?

One does not ask, one is chosen. (j/k)
You join the XDA IRC and say "ops plz" (repeatedly so they notice it quickly). (j/k, and also I don't even know if there is an IRC).
In any case I do believe the account has to be a certain age and you have to have a certain number of posts (or at least those should be basic criteria).
It's probably in a FAQ somewhere on the site (or if not, should be).

Excuse me... you're "warning" us? I wasn't aware that you were made a moderator. Oh, wait, you weren't.
If you find problems, use the reporting system. But don't come waltzing in here and issuing threats and edicts when you don't have the authority to back them up. If you're not a moderator, you're a regular member just like the rest of us, which means you don't have the authority to tell us what to do. You aren't in charge here, and I'll thank you to remember that.
Lol this kid.
Someone needs to lock this ****.

You've obviously weren't around here when the Atrix Forums first opened, or perhaps you've forgotten what it was like around here.
Basically it was a lot of ex-iPhone d-bags that got the Atrix as their first Android phone, and had little respect for XDA. IMHO The Atrix forums has been "pleasant" lately compared to what it used to be when it first opened...

Dude, posting stuff like that is a good way to loose all friends here - nobody likes a self appointed hall monitor. Let the mods do their job, I don't think the policy is to remove every post that might offend someone, it's the tubes; you need to grow a thick skin.
Don't worry, the angst lake will drain once the ICS situation resolves itself - one way or the other. Although, prepare for some awesome gnashing of teeth and wringing of hands if Moto pulls the same stunt they did with the Dext and cancels the update at the last moment.
Well I'll have to admit : I knew the Htc Magic, Htc Touch2, Htc HD2, Samsung Galaxy 10.1v and the Xperia Ray community and the Atrix one is by far the worst. A lot of aggressiveness and unthankful people...

So what devices have a GOOD active community then? I'll sell mine and go get one of those.
Honestly I don't think this community is all that bad. It's like any other community really, in that you have your good users and bad users.
What would really be neat is to take the regional and economical demographics of all the smartphones and compare them. Then you might have something.
Of course people's standards of good and bad are different as well, so you're always going to have someone complaining. Trust me on this, I'm a goth/industrial DJ and getting everyone in this subculture at the club to be happy is like spitting into an oncoming wind!
I don't say it's hell on earth either...it's just that there is a level of animosity that I never encountered before. Why is that, I don't know...

Then I guess you haven't seen the HTC Hero forum. There most of the fighting is between devs, and the majority of bans, blocks etc. is toward the devs, that dont play together nice...
As for this community, I admit that there are some that dont stop complaining, but as already said, in the beginning it was worst.
The best thing here is that most of the complaining is to Motorola and stinking nVidia (Burn bi$#h burn!!! ), whereas practically all the Atrix forum dwellers pay there respect to the devoted devs.
I think that most of the complains will be gone once Moto will release the ICS update. If they will not release it this community will just die slowly...

Toshiba Folio, Kindle Fire sub-forum are good and active in my opinion. The Acer Iconia A100 is not active, however people there treat each other especially good. I can say more than 99% of the users there are good and humble, respectful of each other.
Get an HD2, it's more religion than gadgetry.

Same thing with the HTC Aria. Its an old phone now, but the people there NEVER demmanded anything and were so grateful for what ever they got (Rom-wise).
This forum...not so much....
Sent my Atrix that is faster than most phones
Dont' take all I said personal, it was most directly to Mods. I don't know if you want to ban me or do whatever you want with my account Mods but I'm going to tell you the truth...
I feel like you're not doing your Jobs... that's my 2 cents...
If you want I can change the main thread because is causing so many confusion and other things but that's all I had to say in others words.
