[Fascinate General] 420fan:
I sent an email out and got them to allow me to upgrade to a thunderbolt for 125 bucks. They were trying to send me a refurb for free and not extend my contract, but I pushed back a few times and finally got them to send me a TB for that price. I did have to do 2 year contract, but at least I'm getting a new phone, that I don't have to wait on Samsung to update, or verizon for that matter. I was polite and made my case about how every time I go to the verizon store, that I was told someone had gotten froyo, and it would be right around the corner. I do believe if you present your case without being disrespectful, you can get an upgrade.
[Fascinate General] ajd88:
Sent an email last night. Just curious to see what happens. when I get a response ill let everyone know what happened.
[Fascinate General] onemotodroid:
I did not think of this . I will give try to get an upgrade and report back.
[Fascinate General] ajd88:
Ok got a response and doesnt look like ill be as lucky.

Thank you for contacting Verizon Wireless through our website. I apologize for the delay in responding to your inquiry. My name is A'Darryl, and I am happy to assist you in regards to getting an upgrade to a device that has the Froyo 2.2 software upgrade.

I can certainly understand your concern with getting an upgrade to a device that has the Froyo 2.2 software upgrade; I know the importance of customizing your device to your preferences. I am happy to provide you some information in regards to your inquiry.

Verizon Wireless is committed to providing quality customer service. As a reflection of my commitment to you, I attempted to call you on the contact number ending in X6839 at approximately 2:45pm to provide you with some additional information needed to complete your request.

I have reviewed your account and I see your update date is not until June 1, 2012. At this time, we are unable to move your equipment upgrade date to allow an upgrade. I apologize for the inconvenience this may cause you. I do not have a definitive date as to when the Froyo 2.2 software update will be available for the Samsung Fascinate.

Should i continue to ***** or just call it quits?
[Fascinate General] Phasze:
Continue, request to speak to someone with more authority and complain more.
[Fascinate General] iTz Nicholas72:
I wouldn't give up that easily. Just ask to speak to someone higher up again and again.

I just sent my email and included the fact that I filed a FCC Complaint.
[Fascinate General] Dread This Day:
I got to someone fairly high up and it was actually easy. Of course he blamed Samsung for our delayed Froyo and had no information, but told me that when I've been with them 6 months they'll give me an early upgrade.
[Fascinate General] dadsterflip:

Epic getting 2.3. So can't really blame Samsung eh? But I don't know much I check this section for my wifes fascinate. Sucks everybody else has their upgrade. Yet Verizon blames Samsung but look at all samsungs devices all up to date but the one on Verizon.
[Fascinate General] Slacker101:
I fully believe that it is Verizon being stubborn and somehow whether it's directly or indirectly, delaying the updates for this phone.
[Fascinate General] Slacker101:
I completely love this phone. The only way I would consider an upgrade is if the devs on here continued to slow down at the rate they have. I don't blame them for anything it's more frustrating for them when they have to either port code from another phone or wait the ridiculous amount of time for an actual update.
[Fascinate General] jordanzink:
what email did you contact? I figure i might as well give it a shot using the "i need froyo thing."

also, when I get the standard reply back saying we can't do anything, how do I ask to speak to someone higher up? should I just say can you tell your supervisor to email me?
[Fascinate General] absens:
I just want to let you know, the customer service reps you complain to... They really really dislike you.
[Fascinate General] iTz Nicholas72:
It's all part of the job...
[Fascinate General] iwasaperson:
Sent an e-mail

I'll tell you guys how it goes.
[Fascinate General] ajd88:
Ok sent a second email. Just got the reply the guy offered me a certified pre owned droid x for $290, no thanks. Im gonna call this time.
[Fascinate General] iTz Nicholas72:
I got an email saying to call customer service.

I just want an upgrade so I can get an iPhone.
[Fascinate General] papstar:
Its actually funny how little these people know. I sent an email last night and just got a phone call. The guy tells me that Google releases the source code to.verizon (lol) and he kept referring to android as droid. He told me to just keep checking. Pathetic.
[Fascinate General] ajd88:
Ok heres another response i think the third and there not budging.

Thank you for contacting us again through our website. My name is Tim and I'm happy to assist you with your inquiry regarding the issue you've been having with trying to get the update for you Samsung Fascinate. I regret to learn that this has been an issue. I imagine that it's been frustrating for you.

Mr.Dasilva, in an attempt to resolve this for you in a timely manner, I attempted to call you earlier around 1:05 PM. Since I was unable to reach you, I left a detailed message.

Mr. Dasilva, once the Android Source codes for their newest Operating Systems or updates have been released, it's at the Manufacturer's discretion to update the device to the new platform or not. Samsung has not decided to update the Fascinate as of yet. This isn't a matter that Verizon Wireless has control over. A decision like this can be due to the device not having enough memory or processor capacity to support the 2.2 update. Should Samsung decide to update the Fascinate, the update will be distributed through our network to all of our Fascinate users.

Sounds a bit ridiculous to me.
[Fascinate General] papstar:
"Not enough memory or processor capacity"...lol. These people really have no clue about anything. Its a shame that verizon doesn't give their employees better technical training so they can give their customers half decent responses.
[Fascinate General] iTz Nicholas72:
Call them... maybe you will have better luck

My email response said that he didn't know when or if there was going to be an update which IMO is a much better answers than the above lol

I'm going to call tomorrow and hopefully get an early upgrade to an iPhone.
[Fascinate General] 4GivenByChrist:
If you want to get right to someone who can do something. Tell the automated system you want to cancel service. It will get you to the retention representatives.
[Fascinate General] DirgeExtinction:
Hm, I kinda want to try this for the SGS2...
[Fascinate General] renf:
This. The undeserved sense of entitlement that has consumed this thread is sickening.
[Fascinate General] iTz Nicholas72:
Sorry I don't want to have to deal with horrible manufacture support... I guess we should just allow corporations keep screwing us over again and again...
[Fascinate General] Bobboman:
no i have to agree with the previous post

1) did Verizon/Samsung sell you a working Cell Phone that did what it was advertised to do and if it didn't provide support to fix the problem?(the answer is yes)

2) did you decide to choose the Fascinate over other phones with froyo (most likely, the Original Droid, Droid X, Droid 2, and Droid Incredible have all gotten or launched with Froyo before or since the fascinate came out)

Verizon/Samsung DO NOT have to provide you with an update to Froyo, its not stated anywhere in your contract that they do, as much as i hate this phone because i prefer my old droid incredible to it(thats another story) it still works as a damn good phone that does everything that it was advertised to do and then some, and the Modding community has done a damn fine job to get us a working version of Android 2.2(currently rocking the Cyanogenmod 6.2 port)

jesus christ i remember a time not to long ago where phones never got Firmware updates and we were happy with it

personally my only gripe is with Best Buy, they should have had my droid incredible fixed, and it was my choice to go with the fascinate over the Droid X(because i knew the fascinate had an unlocked bootloader) and as much as i say i won't get the Galaxy S II because of the no existant "froyogate" i know i will probably lean towards it because of again the fact they are committed to keeping the bootloaders unlocked

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtechfan:
You would think it would be a one piece deal, but at least you can charge other USB devices with that then, right?

Is that case made of microfiber or some other synthetic? It does not look leather and it says Xperia Arc, whereas mine has Sony Ericsson stamped on it.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Step666:
I reckon it's cheaper for them this way.

I mean they're having to manufacture the USB cables anyway, so they may as well use them for the chargers too.

About a week ago I broke my phone/display stopped working. It turns out I'm still under warranty so I called and they said alright we'll send you a new one but if we find something you have to pay

So I started freaking out because I rooted and flashed n stuff

Now I somehow managed to Odin back to stock but I'm sure there's still traces of root

Like my Rom Manager backups and stuff

Plus I think it might still be rooted, just not flashed

Any way I can unroot/access some of my files without the display?
