Hello
With the S4 soon to be released (in april) theres a lot of talk about the phone on Facebook and on Twitter. It is therefore a good time to start writing on Samsungs' Facebook- and Twitter pages about the promised sources that we never recived and how you feel about that.
Hopefully we will get a response from Samsung (it has worked before) and if not we might have saved some people the trouble we have had with the lack of Exynos 4 sources.
This might be our best chanse to get the Exynos 4 sources sense Samsung probably don't wan't alot of bad pr on social networks right before the S4 going to be released.
If you honestly think that the mention of "exynos source" on a Facebook page will mean anything at all to your average buyer, you are sadly mistaken.
In Asian countries the concept of respect holds far more weight than in most Western economies....hence spamming and name calling will achieve absolutely nothing, in fact it may well be counter productive
If you want pure Android, buy Nexus
..... good luck with that.

Lol, how did I know you would post here? We had one guy who strongly believed immaturity and spamming would suffice, and he hasn't set foot in the S3 section (or maybe even XDA?) in months now.
Just.....can't.....help....it

The avrage buyer won't care sense they don't check Samsungs pages but some of the ones that do might change there opinion about getting a Samsung, but far from all.
Isn't the reason they promised the Exynos sources in the first place that they didn't wan't people to see the bad pr they got from us on social networks?
It has been a bit quiet sense the end of 2012 when they promised the sources to be released and they have not even said why the sources has not been released and it have soon gone 4 months. So just sit quiet and wait will never get us the sources.

I'm still of the opinion that people who want AOSP support should just buy the Nexus 4 or should flock to devices that are known to have stable CM support. Having CM on devices is a bonus. I however bought my Galaxy S2 and S3 because of the stock experience with the possibility of flashing custom roms. I think its ignorant to buy a device and expect support for something which they have not promised. The only question one needs to ask is if CM will maintain the S600 version of the phone.

It says origen board, that was the first sign that we were in for disappointment.
No CM official support for S4 is really bad. I'm sure some adventurous dev will step in and provide unofficial builds... Some people just want to watch the world burn.

I don't know where Lirkaren is from, but here in Sweden a Nexus costs as much as a normal phone. Although they've dropped a bit in price, they still cost well over $600 here.
Just thought I'd clear the air about that.
And all the new phones (GS4, SXZ, HTC One) will all cost around $970-1000 unlocked.

You are a lucky 17 years old guy, congrats, but you're not a representative example for the average student, sorry (I mean.. sorry that you are wrong, you're still a very lucky guy I had to save money for couple of years when I was your age in order to buy my first used genuine Fender Strat...).

How much is the Nexus 4?
And it wasn't a bragging thing guys. I know I'm lucky. I'm glad I have a good work ethic so that I can get things I want and need.

Every morning I do a quick search of the interwebs to check for new ROM leaks - so I search "Epic" "Froyo" "DL11" "DL15" etc.
I just googled "Epic Froyo DL15" and THIS was the third result. It looks like an unfinished FAQ for a DL15 update.

So after more than a week, Samsung still hasn't completed this simple FAQ, no wonder it's taking them so long to get FroYo out.
I don't see why they wouldn't push out the latest version. Average person isn't going to want to flash again a week later for minor fixes.

What are you talking about? Samsung wouldn't publicly release something that messes up your phone and they can't release an OS straight to our phones anyways, it has to go through the carrier before its released

This is really the only reason I miss the evo...atleast the coorperate devs t htc and sprint rolled out updates...they have gotten 3 updates while we are still stuck on di18
I have to be honest, I'm really reconsidering buy this thing. The evo can be modified in all kinds of ways, and it gets updates from Sprint/HTC in a much more timely fashion.
Samsung and Sprint doesn't seem to give a crap about the Epic for some reason, I'm not sure why since Sammy has sold close to 10 million of these galaxy s phones. I mean if you don't support these devices and provide timely updates, I don't see people being repeat customers of Samsung.
This has been my first non HTC smartphone, and frankly its looking to be my last, its a shame too, the hardware itself is terrific.

It's not that they don't give a crap about it. Froyo was designed on and optimized for a different processor and file system. For whatever reason, Samsung insists on using their own file system, which means they basically have to port Froyo to work with their specs. In addition, a company that only makes phones and pda's like HTC, can concentrate 100% of their resources on those products. While Samsung is making microwaves, TV's, Cameras, and whatever else, so they prioritize a little differently.

There comes a point though when they have to actually release something. Would you still be ok with the wait if they decide to start working on build DL21 and then move on to DL24, etc... and not release a damn thing in the mean while?
This is just freaking ridiculous. We were promised before the end of the year we would have Froyo and it seems that is not going to happen now.
Whats up guys ...
Hope you all enjoy Gingerbread it seems to be close to release and comming along pretty good ...
I also want to thank the Devs and all of the people who's hard work goes into making Kernels, Themes, Roms,How to videos ...
This has been my favorite forum (even with its ups and downs -_- )on XDA all of you guys are awesome
Thanks!! for making the epic a truly Epic phone.
Keep up the good work guys hope you guys enjoy what time you have left here.

Its amazing the maturity of the people on the Epic forums compared to the Evo forums ... it's ridiculous
woot woot!
Ditto on the Within. I haven't truely made up my mind just yet (although I hate the screen, cams and battery life on the evo3d). I don't get my upgrade til September (epic release date) after calling Sprint about premier gold vs silver (thanks again guys!) and my plan is to wait about a month (if necessary) to see what Cyanogenmod prospects look like on both platforms. If the within has good progress at least being made, within for sure. But if it's a small dev community (don't get me wrong, ours is certainly quality over quantity ) again working on a very different us variant with issues, it may be enough to make me take the Evo3D. I love its resolution like you wouldn't believe, but I think the screen looks like crap because of the 3d surface on top of it. Plus qualcomm crappy battery life, 720p 5mp only cameras... should be interesting!
I don't think I'm alone in saying though the epic taught me a very valuable lesson. Never buy on release day. Its hard I know but the epic is great, we've STILL got great devs hard at work, and gingerbread and flash look better than on a mac (which almost always suck with fash). I'll wait it out a bit. If I upgrade it'll be mostly for software support, mods and a bit more running ram for multitasking.

Mystery's ability to do what he did with froyo makes me wonder what we'll get from ACS regarding GB. This release was sick. It's the froyo we were all seeking. I think we're on track to see our phones rise as their reliability continue to cruise. I know people still joining older phones for cost reasons. We'll have another wave enter our community down the road. It's all cyclical. The Within crowd will be demanding before they learn patience. Be strong, grasshoppers.
That reminds me, in preparation for my trip to Amsterdam and Germany I was updating my old TP2 (for the sim card slot, last year I got 6.5-7mbps on vodafone germany, for ten euros for the month prepaid! Way faster than 3g sprint, kinda funny). They still have active development going on! Its awesome, I love the community! June 6th for the rom, then they've got a very nice froyo (and somewhat unstable gingerbread) in both nand flash or haret boot. Amazing. That and the wpa-supplicant ad-hoc hack for the epic and I'll be tethering my epic to the tp2, google voice and skype, ten euros prepaid internet and I'll be good to go! Did I mention I love the community?!

Yea sorry to burst your bubble, but im pretty sure his big announcements are going to be to announce upcoming nexus devices.
I doubt we are going to see an official Gingerbread release for the vibrant because it doesnt just pop up over night, an official release require extensive testing, the likes of which usually result in leaks or at the very least somewhat substantiated rumors. If you recall in our wait for Froyo we saw countless leaks over the span of several months.
I for one cannot wait to see the announcement for the prime and other nexus devices. Im through with carrier branded devices.

Ah my bad, i only read the first page :x lol
I got his attention:
SamsungJohn,
I'm not meaning to harrass you at all, but is there any way you could shed some light on whether or not the Samsung Vibrant will be getting a gingerbread update?
It has been in question for a long time now, seeing as the other SGS devices got it... we are all kind of wondering why it was left in the dust. I mean, Gingerbread improves on the CPU the Vibrant is equipped with, bringing it to its full potential more-so than Froyo.
I, and many others purchased the phone on a 2 year contract with updates in mind. Its only a year old phone, it seems kind of rude that it has already been abandoned (if that is the case) I know you don't make all the decisions there at Samsung, but If you can see it from our point of view, could you maybe speak with someone that does have control over the situation?
I love the Hardware, beautiful screen, and Samsung in general... But please John, tell them they are going to lose future customers if they drop phones after such a short amount of time. It irritates people who bought a phone with the SGS label, and already people are seeing it as inferior to device to those of the same timeframe, such as the G2... Because HTC has kept the phone updated and their customers happy, Many of them will return to HTC for their next device.
Thanks for your time, and being a part of this community.

I am not sure what SamsungJohn's official title or job is but he is certainly not in customer relations. He has never given a decent straight forward answer. I almost think I would rather have a lower quality phone that gets updates than a high quality hardware phone that never gets updated.
I love my phone but not releasing updates has made me think my next phone and tablet will not be a Samsung device. I have a 2.2.1 wifi Galaxy Tab that has never seen an update and a Vibrant with only one update. And to be fair, the update to FroYo on the Vibrant was something that it should have shipped with to begin with. To compound the issue we get no response or time frames on any updates. That is just horrible customer service.
Thanks for the hardworking of T-mobile or Samsung,
I wont get any Android products without "Nexus" in their ass
I will stay with T-mobile because it suits my current needs. 2 lines $130, unlimited un-throttled data on both; but I will never buy another phone that is not Nexus.
I almost rather be the douche with an Iphone, know it's being locked down, have less features, etc, but know I will have a working gps and support in 6 months. Being able to make calls....well they are all just holding the phone wrong anyway.

Maybe your energy should be focused at Tmobile, who had proven track record of not providing updates.
I do believe that going with non carrier based phones is the correct track.

I'm really not sure when people are going to get it. It's Tmobile to blame, not Samsung.
As i wrote on the Ultimate GS3 Sudden death topic let's
make a TT like that( #SolveGalaxySIIISuddenDeath ) and maybe Samsung will care much about this topic.At least we can force them to explain the issue.
Samsung still sells phones, I don't think their care is stronk on this.

Mother board on devices bought between may amd agoust had nand corrupted. If u try to resurrect with pit u recive errors. The life times is 150-250 days and i think the problem was a mistake on production of devices.

They do care, after sales care is just as important as getting people to buy a product in the first place. The sudden death could do a lot of harm to Samsung if they just sweep it under the carpet, they will be seen as a company that puts a high price tag on inferior products.
Something all businesses believe "a good reputation takes years to achieve, and can be destroyed in seconds" In essence Samsung has taken years to build a good reputation (it's why most of us bought the S3) now if they don't at least try to solve the sudden death it could severely damage their reputation, and people will not buy their products.
And let's not forget the warranty repair costs to Samsung, we don't know how much they make out of each handset sold, but motherboard replacements for a lot of devices will heavily cut into their profit margins.

what a childy thing you said..
is obvious that only the elder phones can die at that range ( 150-250) simply because phones made later haven't reached that date
so is only a luck question and yes, they sold 40m of devices and how many died?
So please do not alarmate

Thats the key to this problem 40 million devices and how many SD .
Very very small number so far .
Twitter and all the rest surely a customer would be contacting Samsung both via service center for repairs and via a complaint letter to head office .

I have to pretty much agree with you on this, as the issue will put people (well people who research before buying) off of at least buying the S II, SIII and note 2. As I'm one of those people, and I'm sure there'll be others. I already bought one Samsung Note 10.1, and because of it, andI was thinking of updating my phone, and was considering the SIII but now I've found out about this, I'm in two minds.
And I'm sure there's others who are now thinking twice about buying more Samsung products in the future, so it's definitely in Samsung's interest to fix it and do so as quick as reasonably possible to prevent loss of face.
Fix!!!

Sorry, forgot to include that. You know, i got lost in the moment
Still, I think it's great that developers can roll the update out to the consumers faster than samsung can send the official fix/update out ota.

Technically Samsung released the fix in their sources, so it's them that made the fix available to all of us through our developers. And OTA updates are slower because they need to be approved by regional operators.

One of the winners has slipped through the cracks and is selling his one piss on ebay
Item location:
Murfreesboro, Tennessee, United States
And people are bumping the price up to other flagship levels, how absolutely predictable.
Idiocracy... it's coming.
Holy......!

Like I said on the oneplus fourm. I would have sold it too. All the begging for it + the invite system made this all possible. Highly demanded product, virtually no stock.
It's just a phone. You can always buy another later.
I wouldn't had made the I can't use it on Verizon comment. If I know enough to enter a contest and smash my phone I'm going to know enough to know it won't work on verizon.
Who ever buys that for that price,is a FOOL.IMO:laugh:
Err...it's Plus. One Plus. Not piss.
Jesus foot that amount any logical person would sell it

You're probably right. However still worth it. That's only if the winning bidder pays up that is... and that's highly doubtable
There were people with brand new ebay accounts (no feedback) trolling him by boosting up the price. I think the price was at 10k and the seller removed the auction. Probably knows he was being trolled. If you guys seriously think it would sell for such a high price then let me sell you my beach front house next to the Brooklyn, Golden Gate and Bay Bridge. I'll give you an awesome price you can't refuse.
I hate to bump this, but am I seriously the only one who sees that he typed "One Piss" twice? Is this some sort of crappy nickname being given to this device, or am I just going crazy?
EDIT: Well, at least four people seem to see it, so I guess my sanity is still safe.

he bought an s5, so he has to put down the oneplus so it somehow justifies his decision to buy it and not regret not holding out for this.

I thought he was calling the person piss as in piss poor person but I guess it could be the way you stated.
Apparently auction ended and no buyer

Looks like it was relisted and sold for $650, nice little profit depending on what phone he smashed / donated
