Its been 2 months here very shortly and we have no GPS fix or any word on froyo. FROYO has been out since may, the n1 has it, evolution has it, incredible, d2, dx soon, g2 etc. But no Samsung galaxy or even rumor on when we should get it.
The GPS fix was promissed this month, and well its halfway over I just don't see within the next two weeks a GPS fix being rolled out. Of course also no word on froyoz and not only that but CM6.1 may or may not even support our sgs ..
Sooooo, if there is no froyo or atleast a GPS fix by Oct 8th (rumored g2 release date) I'm selling this damn thing on Craigslist and getting a g2...
I love the vibrant way more than the g2 but I'm sure its gps will work and its coming with stock 2.2.
Wtf Samsung, get your act together. I heard rumors about slow updates but wow. At this time now the evolution had cm6 and a real rom from HTC/Google.
Anyways, hurry up Sammy or I'm going back to htc with the g2.
Edit: lets not be stupid either, if Samsung could fix this GPS issue, it would be fixed by now and the epic as they said would work would work properly ...
I've lost all faith on a software issue and believe its hardware. Why else would every version be wacked.
Just in case though I'm giving them till the g2.

Well just remember this post when there's no GPS fix or froyo out when there's yet another released phone running froyo.
Nice theory.

The thing is... These half assed threats of switching to a different phone vendor are pretty lame. No one (including samsung, HTC and google) cares what phone you have. Keep the vibrant, dont keep the vibrant. Who cares.
When you got on your rant what were you setting out to accomplish? Oh...thats right. Nothing.
So here is an idea. If you are an unhappy customer and feel the company you bought your phone from. The same company that you did your reasearch on and accepted the risk the phone bring updated wouldnt fit into your time frame. Use your powers of free will and go.but something else.
Good day sir.
The samsung galaxy s i9000 has froyo.
The thing I don't understand is everyone is having lag and gps issues but me. I have no lag at all. I use my gps to navigate daily, plus I use it for geocaching and always come within 10 feet of the cache. I just don't get it.

What's lame is you ranting In my topic about what I make a thread about. Obviously you cared and it made enough of a impact on you to reply . I have every right to ***** and you will see more of it from others for the rest of your life. So before you act lime a preacher and try and change the world/forum, think again, your post is as washed up as this supposed topic your saying.
I stand by my topic, we should all be frustrated for Samsung not fixing our GPS or atleast saying its completely fubared. Froyo, where's froyo? I've got valid gripes and *****es, that's what forums are for and I think many agree things are getting to near and we don't see no light at the end of the tunnel.
Yes Samsung should care on their Rep cause in the end that's what gets them a returning customer.
I was all for this phone and backing up waiting, but common were going on a quarter of a year withouwfixes or froyo, some people don't but have a phone for 6 months, 3 of that 6 there waiting like crackheads for a bag?
Please no rude responses I have a valid gripe
Good day ma'am
Couldnt you rant in the countless other "where is froyo" threads?
Why do you feel the need to make a new thread for something like this?
I'm all for stateing your opinion but atleast do it in an already existing thread about the exact same thing.

Why did you open this thread then if there's others?
Stop acting like forum police
Really this thread is a watch. Froyo nor gps fix will see this phone withing 1 month... so for those wanting to buy this phone for those reasons and expecting a fix this month, think again.
THERE WILL BE NO, I SAY AGAIN NO GPS FIX OR FROYO THIS MONTH OR EVEN SHORTLY AFTER. THAT IS WHY I WILL BE GETTI G A G2. I'd advise anyone needing GPS or froyo to find a new phone. Samsung isn't gonna do **** anytime soon... yes that's negative but I'm a realist, it's not gonna happen.
I personally don't care if there's "yet another thread" about this. I understand people are pissed (I get pissed too). Yeah, Sammy doesn't care whether we are happy or not - they are a huge multinational corporation half a world away. There are so many layers between us and their management it's not even funny. Our concerns get lost in a call log of a customer service department or in a product manager's inbox of automated reports. Plus, even if they did read and have concern about these issues, it's too late. Usually it's cheaper for them to take these issues and fix them in the next iteration of the product than to re-tool the factory or make a change on the line. A massive corporation like Samsung is all about efficiency and not stopping production. Our only hope is a software fix or, by the grace of God, a recall if the problem is so bad it requires legal action.
I agree with the poster that says we can just walk away and get a different phone or whatever. However, some of us paid $500 for this thing and it's a significant investment to buy yet another phone. Yeah we can eBay it (which is what I would do). Or for others it's just a disappointment because ON-PAPER this is the "perfect phone". I'm a little of both. I love this phone - the form factor, the screen, the UI, etc - but it's not operating as advertised. If the phone would work as intended it would be my perfect phone. That's what many of us are holding out hope for. We are frustrated and want a fix, not a new phone.
I had to get rid of my Evo because of horrendous QC problem (mine was literally coming apart). It was almost heartbreaking because I waited so long for that damn phone to come out. But once I got the Vibrant, the Evo was forgotten about - until the buzz wore off and the lag and GPS issue became a serious problem. OK, I'm done storytelling.
With over 2 weeks left in the month, let's hope Sammy pulls through and tries to save their reputation. I'll say this though - I will think VERY carefully next time I buy a Samsung phone.

i agree i just talked to android about it. they said not anytime soon because 1 month ahead they get notified if they update would come to a certain phone or not. and she said there is nothing about 2.2 on vibrant. so we are ****ed..
You must be part of a forum gang.
If you are so unhappy with your phone do yourself and this forum are favor by returning it and get a phone with froyo.

That is strange, I talked to Samsung at the beginning of the month, they said when they dropped 2.2 for the International one, which has happened, they pushed the build to their "vendors" at the same time. So now it is in the hands of Tmo/ATT and such to finish their "customizing"(read "****ing up") of 2.2 before they push it out ...

Yes exactly, Come oct 8th I will be getting a phone with froyo. I just don't want to have to play the sale my vibrant game, and miss the things I do love like the screen.
And why the heck no cm6 yet? Hell people bought them a vibrant just for us and still nothing...
Doesn't it seem at least a bit difficult to port Froyo to another phone as a side hobby?
Edit: let alone get the gps working too . Not like froyo is the be all end all fix for everyone's problems.

Hell the dam hd2 has froyo on it and its not even a android phone. What's going on with vibrant development.... unmarked maybe I should sell the vibrant and big 2 hd2s and put froyo on them and give my wife one.. lol
Sad that a non android phone has froyo but yet a 2 month old top of the line android phone is yet to even have a custom rom.. lmaooo.
I've supported this phone up till now. Now, I'm pissed. Sorry to upset some of you but this is utter crap.
If anything, anything give us a GPS fix.
Edit: also I have a n1 with froyo, were missing a lot without it..
Couldn't resist the offer for a free upgrade to the Charge and 4G was just switched on this week in my area, so it was a sign.
Just wanted to say thanks to everyone, devs and anyone else who helped make this device much nicer. Been running stock ED04 for 24 hours now and coming from CM7 boy can I say...this phone was a complete turd before you guys did your wizardry. Its been a long journey from launch...boy did we get far...
I am sure some of you will be making changes as well, but I wanted to say thanks either way, hopefully will see you on the other side.
Did you get a replacement over the phone? Mailed out to you? Verizon said I can get replacement mailed to me when in stock. Followed up after not hearing back and was told now that the only way to get replacement is by checking with Verizon stores in the area if they have the replacement Charge kit in stock. Blasted!!!

I got my Fascinate replaced with a DX2 and then upgraded to a D3 and gave the X2 to a friend. The Fascinate was a great phone and I thank all of the devs. Without them, it would've sucked and I never would have gotten one. But it was time to move on to a dual core beast. And man, did I miss the reception, call quality, and build quality of a Moto phone.
Should get my Charge today. Been on a stock build for about two days and its horrible. Really makes you appreciate all the work you guys have done.
I too will be receiving my charge today I believe. Its been an enjoyable 5 months flashing this phone but time to move on.
I want to thank the devs as well for all their hard work on making this phone awesome. I have been stock since Sunday and its totally a big diff its so slow now lol. Anyways thanks again devs

If vzw considers that to be a valid excuse to send me a new device, count me in. Like I said, I've got another year with this phone. I can't afford to miss calls from my wife who is at home with our special needs child, or the facilities that I manage.

Mine was having issues with missing calls, not getting messages, and I was having trouble hearing people and they were having trouble hearing me. And this was whether I was stock or on ComRom or CM7/MIUI, no matter which radio, and no matter how much signal strength I had. I missed a few important texts in an area where I had a full bars and signal strength at around -70dbm.
Thank you for your input GoogleAndroid. I can't believe this is such a widespread issue. The best thing about this is hopefully I won't need to use my wife's upgrade to get a decent phone. Win win me thinks. The ;-)

if you have a legit reason then i was in no way meaning any offense...your post i quoted listed no issues that you were having (if they were in previous posts, my bad) and lets face it...at this point everyone is hoping they have issues to get free phones out of it
id hazard a guess that half of the root community on xda has switched because they heard it was a possibility so they went looking for a problem...my issue was hardware related (and not related to whatever else had)
my point was just that your post made it look like u were itching for a new phone a year early...since ur saying thats not the case ill take you at your word

well, my daughter finally, and reluctantly, traded in her Fascinate for a Charge, after four dysfunctional Fascinates. Hers was the missed call problem. I still have the Fascinate, running CM7 since the demise of GB CommROM - and I have zero interest in the Charge, DX2 or Dinc2. The modded Fascinate (thank you devs!) is in my opinion the best smartphone available. That is, until...

it is with a very sad and heavy heart that i've decided to return my samsung galaxy s3 to Verizon today. it's by far the greatest cellphone i've seen.
i had shattered my Thunderbolt a couple weeks back, and wanting to keep my unlimited data plan, i was more than glad to pay full price for this device. it's really that incredible.
unfortunately, upon receiving the device, i learned of +Verizon Wireless' locking of the bootloader. they were the only carrier to do such. this has soured the taste in my mouth so greatly, that i am forced to send this incredible machine back to Verizon.
a truly sad day to be a geek.

i am, when i preordered the device there was no 'developer version' (and there's yet one to be for sale on Samsung's developer page)
when it goes live, i'll pick up one, though it makes me wonder just how much Android developer support will be on the Verizon model. not too many devs are willing to pay full price, the community is likely to be very small.
Imo your better off sticking around and waiting for Adam Outleter to finish unlocking the bootloader. I doubt too many will be getting the dev gs3. Dont see much point in a developer edition when there wont be much development on it...

I am awaiting for about 100 respondents then i make some stats and wil publish that on xda, or samsung has to pay me 10 million dollar and give every user their money back... but i dont expect that so i wil post the stats as soon as possible.
ATM i have 25 responses so its not possible to say something very interesting but this is my view atm.
- half is blue half is white. (earlyer i heard it would be only blue)
- most users say they didn't root
- most users reported that they notice some lags and bugs one or two weeks before the phone died.
ATM 40 respondents keep reporting :good:
This thread should be sticky as it is very important. Samsung should make public their problems which affecting more and more of us and fix it or atleast fix it for free when time comes no matter is under warranty or not, because is their fault and nobody paying 600euros/700$ for a phone should pay extra to get it fixed when is Samsung's fault.
Done my part.

After this $am$ung will have to make an official statement and replace all faulty devices for free. Things like this are not acceptable from ,,smartphone of year''. Nothing to complain about the device i own 2 of them and i love them with all my heart and i cannot ask for more at the moment, but things like this should not happen. Only here are lots of dead phones, but who knows actually how many are out there from people who doesn't even know/access this forum? Samsung should take action about this ASAP, if not maybe we can do something more and get together some of us with affected devices and call samsung in court.

I think You should make the list public. With usernames of the victims...

I will think of that, if i do that i first delete the email addresses of the respondents because that's privacy.
ATM i have 83 filled in forms so keep reporting if you didn't already do !
Very important thread!!
I think this one should be the leading thread for the sudden death phenomenon, or at least make sure every xda user who posted his case on the other thread, fill up his form.
Anybody knows perhaps how many S3 users are on XDA? This way we may estimate what is the percentage of S3 out there which got suicide.
OP - keep up the good work!

ATM i have 25 responses so its not possible to say something very interesting but this is my view atm.
- half is blue half is white. (earlyer i heard it would be only blue)
- most users say they didn't root
- most users reported that they notice some lags and bugs one or two weeks before the phone died.

Can we please have an update on the trends?
I have the Verizon variant and had major problems with mine suddenly. My phone would freeze and then not boot again. Flashing a rom would get it to work for a few minutes then it'd freeze again. I'd have to try to boot to recovery about 10 times before it would actually boot recovery (CWM). The phone would even exit odin mode during the middle of odin flashes. I got the phone replaced about a month ago. Pain in the butt though.

On December 15, Samsung may release an update to Galaxy Note 7 smartphones in the US that would stop the phones' batteries from charging.
Bring it on.

Yep. They sure are. And yep, bring it on ? im keeping my note 7
I'm with note 7 all the way
Now they're saying December 19th. Is this similar to them talking about shutting down the IMEI on T-Mobile? Is it just an update or like an official shut down.

How will you avoid it? I still have mine as well.
What if u rooted it back to the original N7 rom.? I wonder. If it would effect it. I mean i got the pop up message to go away and i am currently writing this charging @ 73%. So i am curious it will effect those. Me and my wife got one during the 2 week window after the first recall. N now another update has has me wondering?

Why? Like seriously, why? It's a risk to your own safety and it's just going to get worse and worse. It will never get nougat since it is discontinued, it will not be getting any more development from here since most developers I assume have abandoning the device. You can't go on an air plane with the device. It's a risk to people around you. You can trade the device in for a phone that's just close the note 7 (the s7). Please, it's a dumb idea to keep it.

Dude, are you suffering a stroke or exposed to a gas leak?

not every phone was bad actually the percentage was rather small. We act like there are not other things in our daily life that could be dangerous but we still do it. Not everybody flies and if so they may have another phone they could use. Not everybody likes that god awful S7. Hey we are adults and if this is the risk we as adults want to take then so be it.
You have the right to not like it as others have the right to not want to get rid of it. Hell I still dont understand why people buy Iphones, why do people smoke cigarettes, why do people drink alcohol, etc.......
Those things can all kill ya...
