Froyo?? Not so fast!

GalaxySSupport twitter page said the following when I asked them for android 2.2 info for fascninate.
"The Fascinate will get 2.2 by the end of the year. We will keep you informed on Twitter as we get more details! ^Mary"[email protected]
If were gonna wait that long they might as well just bump us to ginger..

"End of the year" who in the hell would want to buy this device, for a x-mas present for instance , with the uncertainty? Not a reel smart marketing move on Samsung's part.

lol I like how ppl think complaining is going to help, 2.1 isn't the best agreed but it's so much better running on the fascinate than my eris was. we are going to get it just suck it up and enjoy the phone.

I will not keep this phone much.longer without froyo. I hate to say it but the lack of support is.t a good sign. Most people in here likely bought this phone for the same reason i did and that's hardware, but that can only keep me on ship for so long.

I couldn't agree more. I am on my second phone and this one isn't much better. I should have kept my droid.....

lol, does anybody remember the wait for froyo on the droid. It was forever »+ empty promises. This isn't so bad yet.

Agreed, it's this way with MOST devices no matter the platform. Can ya'll imagine how uncluttered these forums would be if people quit complaining bout the same thing over and over again?? Just saying...

The thing you guys seem to be forgetting, there's only seven weeks left in the year, so it's not really a long time.

Very true spot mark. Just a little dissapointed and after reading all the i9000 threads the only upside I see to froyo is that Jt, angel, and adrynalyne can get ahold of this ***** and make it worthwhile

That's pretty frustrating. If not for the great progress the CM team has been making, I would be considering a different phone at the moment.

Maybe next year in 1st or 2nd quarter, if Sprint has nothing better to do. Do yourself a favor and get the DK28 leak.

its coming
I have confirmed with my sources, we were all part of an expirement by samsung and sprint to prove that they could put out a total **** product like the moment...... and then still promise the moon aka the epic 4g and we would all go and buy it and hope we wouldn't complain about not having froyo simply because we are not getting data lockups. So there you have it, 2.1 no data lockups if you want 2.2 buy there next phone it will come out stock with it but by then there will be android 3.2

Lol, sprint held off n releasing froyo because they saw then noobnl and the rest of cyanogen epic team is making progress. And they are testing it to steal some ideas and put a sprint branding on it. hahaha

Really? You think people have been patient? I've seen nothing but constant whining (in the dev forum, no less) since I first started lurking here back when the phone was first released.
It will be released when its released. This isn't a great place for complaints- nobody who cares or who could even enact a change will read it. This constant whining does nothing but drive people away who might be interested in developing or push down the posts of the fractional population that actually has something to contribute.
Take it somewhere else. Anywhere else.

Thanks for that troll... the epic is supposed to be epic, now its worse than the moment... Thats just horrible business. And i guarantee, If I had the source for the OS and Drivers and was being paid to do it, I could have a stable release of GINGERBREAD in 4 months time... and thats me programing alone.

I agree that this is not a great place to complain about ROM versions, but for whatever reason the dev section is 90% ROM related (there should be a ROM subsection). But...this phone should have been released with froyo. I was running froyo on my Vogue/Sprint touch for months before I bought this phone. Hopefully Samsung will catch us up soon.

Who cares? You're not running the ****ty software like the EVO, and 2.3 isn't going to be any different (for the most part). If you want to complain, go to a sprint store near you and ***** to them. Nobody is going to want to develop anything if people don't stop complaining. All of the resources are in these forums to make your phone look just like "2.3".

Yes they have. And you know what buddy, no one is forcing you to come in here and read and comment. I do agree these threads should be in the general section and the moderators often move them. But you know what, if you don't like reading these types of posts, than don't. It really is that simple.

A lot of people just wanna know what went down. What's happened happened so what difference would it make.
cd's or tapes?

I think he's a cool dude, agreed with the other poster that he's the "least understood". He'll be back He's said he was going to leave before and stuck around. He'll be here.

isn't this his 3rd or 4th time?

I for one, will miss him. He helped me tremendously with my theming. I hope he makes his return when everything settles down

Well all this is going to definitely change things....
k0nane... Out? Gone for good? We don't know.. Only time will tell...
Mystery... Same as above...
Dreamsforgotten, last I talked to k0nane personally on the night of the ACS/INC start he told me Dreams was knee deep in smali code (theming) for the Nexus 4g..
So we definitely have a lot of important pieces missing to the big Epic 4g puzzle... I sure hope one day they all come back so we can finish this picture.
We still have some great themers and developers, plus many new in the last month or so up and comers that have made a great impact on the scene so we are going to all have to pull together and do the best with who/what we have. Everything will be fine.
Now more than ever everyone needs to work together, hand in hand and share to make future GB and the last of EC05 development the best it can be for the Epic 4g.

Thread cleaned. No flaming please. Thank you.

Time to break my addiction

Well, I haven't actually had the Epic for 6 months now, though I still have 2 of them on my account. With my GS3 getting delivered tomorrow, I think its time to break my Epic4G thread addiction and say goodbye.
I want to say thanks to everyone here for a good couple of years. I made many good friends from this forum, learned a ton, and tried to pass on much of it to the group of themers that came after me.
I know that I will see many of you in the GS3 forums in the next few months, so until then, unless my daughter or ex f up their epics and I need help.

I know I am thankful for what you have given. You will and have been missed.

How about...all former OG Epic users who go to SG3 can simply post roms, themes, mods, and LeBron King photos over here in the Epic forums. There can be some kind of "code" used so we can differentiate between Epic threads and non-Epic (non Epic can have a suffix like "NE"- so we can have Peoples Rom NE, RandomRom NE, etc). Kenny, as FNM, can watch over to make sure no non-Epicureans get in (like the burly guy that stands at the velvet rope and let's the hotties into the nightclub). It will be like a "secret society" of old Epic users, complete with crest that can be used as splashscreen animation...
Shane, your contributions to the Epic were, truly, Epic. Thank you for your creativity and time! See you on the other side...

Jamie was always an all-around good guy in my book. Heck of a developer, to boot. He gave us one of the best AOSP ROM's for the OG EVO, and his Pac Man ROM for the EVO LTE was very popular, also. I hate all that's gone on lately. Jamie, best of luck to you.

in fact he could only have meant that post since that's the only post jamie has made on xda since the flurry of posting activity that irritated the xda people in the first place.
hardly what i would call posting "regularly", especially since he explicitly says it's his last post ever on xda unless some site administrators explain their response.
i don't really have a dog in that fight. i just liked the way reloaded runs on my phone and appreciate jamie's dedication in making that happen. if more ROMs come, i'll flash them. if i have to find them on twitter, i'll find them. for now i wish him well, even if i expect he isn't going away for long.

It looks more like the decision was Jamie's to leave XDA, not the mods. It has happened several times before where the Dev's asked the Mods to close their threads because of the drama that goes on in them. If he were banned, his account would be frozen and his threads would all be closed.
