NexusS will be supported until the phone that will follow Galaxy Nexus, something simmilar that we witness now

i get my phone for free every 2 years =) thats why i do not see a problem in exchanging it in this time period :]

trust me, no ics for i9000 is not an option, i9000 is their best seller for the moment.

leaving all shose people wo latest firmware upgrade would not be logic.

they are aware how many people would be pissed at them due that fact.

they were ahead when releasing sgs/nexuss now competition is catching up very quick

i do notthink that they are ready to piss so many people

question is how long will it be supported with ics updates and i guess this will decrease untill sgs3 release after witch it will stop
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gigeaky:
you all need to take a chill pill. think of it this way: until samsung will release an update for the existing phones they will release an ICS device and after that they will try, hopefully, to update them and that could take some time and i don't think they will update a phone that will be so "old". it's logical... if they update the sgs and sgs2 to ICS why would you buy the next phone? if you were stuck on 2.1 or 2.2 on your sgs you would have taken into consideration to buy sgs2 but knowing that the differences between sgs and sgs2 are in terms of camera proc and size you are not willing to do this... damn that was a long message that no one will read :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] boliveira2:
Your thinking is wrong. If Samsung doesn't update their 400€ phones that are 1 year and a half old (And don't even care to do proper QA), then why should you buy another one that will get no updates after that period, even when the hardware can handle it very well? And then you look at Apple that updates their old 3GS (that runs at least twice as fast as the Galaxy S stock)... What reason has Apple to update the 3GS when they just launched the 4S? This is how you gain customer loyalty!

If at least the phone worked well stock, then I wouldn't complain much. But take JVT firmware as an example. It has so many bugs and is so slow!!! How can they do it with this hardware??????????????????
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
i will not buy SGS2/3 if i will not see ICS on SGS1, i would not want to get stuck again with no updates because they want to sell me their next, new phone

also with ICS on SGS i am aware that it could be missing some features from Galaxy Nexus version, and that it will not be as fast as on newer devices

i do not think that i am the only one that when considering GT-I9000 purchase was looking at this info/fact also
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gigeaky:
@boliveira2 it's called consumption market... they want you to buy the newest ones otherwise they could just try to develop and optimize android os for all version (a little exaggeration i know) so you could run it on any phone... cyanogen released 7.1 for the Moto Cliq that didn't even get a 1.6 update here but they managed to do something about it... it's all marketing... why would they waste money and time and man power to update an old phone? i know it is disappointing, i am in the same boat as you... i'm not happy about this but this is it... i hope that i am wrong but... BTW is gingerbread official for all sgs's? i mean anyone can upgrade using kies?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
us carrier variants seems to have froyo still same as some countries for gt-i9000 did not upgraded due to the bugs in gb (ex poland)

looks like samsung got overwhelmed by the variety of devices they support and obligations to google to update asap to latest firmware version (that "with Google" partnership) what resulted in overall mess ;]
[Galaxy S I9000 General] haloimplant:
I think in the end if you want the latest updates for a long time you have to buy the Google phones, period.

It's a shame but that's just the way it is. I think if many people turned their noses at the Samsung/HTC/Motorola-branded phones until they improve their updates they might actually get the picture. As it is most people rush out to get the latest, shiniest closed-driver carrier-specific device and then complain about updates later.

Perhaps this will change now that many Android users are more experienced and have learned their lesson, like so many of us here. If a huge chunk of us ignore devices other than Nexus they might get the point. One thing they may have to do if they really get serious about better updates is tell the carriers, especially the glacial ones here in North America, to screw off and stay out of it. Apple and Nexus phones get their frequent and timely updates mostly because the carriers are out of the loop.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Northern.dj:
What most have also forgotten is Google want ICS to stop fragmentation but what's happened is its made it worse.

Doing a petition to google to force samsung to roll out ICS

Samsung are clearly using this to sell devices as always

Then after that you have networks to sort as Vodafone in the UK have not released any updates to the Galaxy s past 2.3.3

Google phones get updates faster then from samsung and networks but the Galaxy Nexus is not that good i'll wait for the Motorola Nexus next time round

The rom is designed to work on the Nexus s and the specs are almost the same as the Galaxy s

Fragmentation Kills Android

[Galaxy S I9000 General] jcagara08:
wow very nice work!

So is it safe to flash from CM7.1? cause that's my present rom now..

and how to get back to CM7.1 if in case I flashed ICS to my phone?

Thanks and more power to I9000 users
[Galaxy S I9000 General] boliveira2:
For me it's called stealing. There are some reasons why I think they should upgrade at least to ICS:

- The phone as is doesn't work properly at all as it was publicized ( lags, lots of bugs, gps doesn't work at all... ). If the phone worked fine, then I wouldn't be pissed for not getting the upgrade.

- We paid (at least me) 400€ or more for this phone. If it cost like 100€ then I would accept that.

- The hardware is exactly similar to Nexus S ( slightly superior in fact!! ) and Nexus S is getting ICS and I bet it will run smooth as butter.

Reason number one alone should be sufficient to make Samsung give ICS to us. And a proper one! If they don't, I am not going to buy any other Samsung phone ever or even an Android one, and will try to influence everyone I know to go Iphone and never Android. Shouldn't be difficult after they know these 3 reasons.

It's time for these companies to change their business model and focus more on customer satisfaction. That is what Apple is doing and why they upgraded their old 3GS to ios5 and it's running now better than ever. Apple gets it, and you'll see how much they'll benefit from it, directly and indirectly.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] telep:
I dont have any bugs on jvt rom, gps works fine (and it worked fine from day one). But i want ics, they can do it, and need to make it work, because there is apple, i can give them little more money for better software support.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PJcastaldo:
You people will never be happy.. first you needed 2.2 even though you bought a device with 2.1 on it. Then it was need 2.3 so following leaks they are obviously working on it. And now its give me 4.0 or I'm going to Apple. ... guess what. No one care what you do. You are an ass clown.

I understand wanting updates but don't be an ass clown.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] telep:
U mad bro?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] boliveira2:
Let's keep it civil ok? If none care what I do, then just ignore it. On the subject, my galaxy s was never ever ok. If the phone was with no fc or bugs or slowness or the gps was working in 2.1 then I would be satisfied with that. I am hoping that 4.0 at least correct some of these bugs and performance problems. If not, then I am done with Samsung and Android. Hope WP7 catch up quickly.

---------- Post added at 01:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 PM ----------

It's not possible. On JVT I got:

- black screen of death when it goes to sleep,

- In browser sometimes the page is only one quarter rendered, like the browser control has a very small height and there is nothing u can do except restart it.

- In browser, sometimes clicking in the address bar open the bookmarks page. the only way to fix it is to open a page from the bookmarks and then u have the address bar back.

- When filling any text field ( in browser or any application ) the cursor is almost useless. There are times you can't position the cursor in the end of a word!! That is so annoying.

- GPS: Unusable since day one.

- Lag is all over the place ( even with lagfix applied ). I guess it's memory related but can't remove anything else, it has very few apps running.

- FC on phone ( since I don't even know when... )

- Wifi is always restarting. Can't try the workaround suggested here because the router I have is pre-historic.

- Because of the wifi bug, the battery drains very very quickly.

Ah and I installed JVT after formatting everything and reinstalled all my apps. Now I have Galaxian Kernel and it's just a little bit better in terms of performance but the bugs are still there.

I could go on and on and on, but I know you guys have experienced some or all of these bugs/problems. It's really unacceptable that Samsung release a product like that. So, please don't say JVT has no bugs or works perfectly well because it doesn't, in fact it is far from it!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] magos1:
I hope to bring ICS to GS1!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] telep:
GPS works super fine for me

FC phone i had on jvs but on jvt no

black screen of death when it goes to sleep - dont know what that is because i never saw it

No WiFi bug
[Galaxy S I9000 General] moeebee:
I must say there are some good points for argument but "ass clown" is diffinetly funny. iPhone is a good piece of hardware if you want to wait on untethered jailbreak ( 4S and iPad). The small size screen is a bit dated not too mention with every update there is a modest wait for jailbreak update. Trust me android users don't have that bad, you could be rockin a windows phone. Knowing there is a flood of aandroids on the market it's usally best to keep a top tier to help insure good updates from the manufacturer.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] goughymachine:
Of your problems, the only ones I've experienced are some lag, which was pretty much solved with lagfixes, and I guess the battery drain to a degree, though I can't remember which rom that was on. It's normal now, and was normal before.

GPS has worked from day one for me (eclair) and has worked in every rom I have flashed. No browser problems or text entry problems. I had phone fc after other user ended call on one rom I tried, but only the one. I've never had any issues with my wifi.

Don't know why your experience is so much worse than mine, but it does seem that different people have different levels of luck with it. Kind of like how some people have stable systems with some oc/uv settings while others don't with those settings.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] wGRV:
I am afraid if Samsung wud give any official feedback to users regarding update. Why I m saying so because long time back people using Sony Ericsson Satio had too many issues with Satio handset, they were demanding for update in their online petition, nearly 1lac SE users signed for the petition including me, but damn SE didnot gave any feedback regarding OS update n they device remained buggy as hell!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] parhelion69:
I've got NONE of these issues, no FCs (only got one when playing with chainfire 3D plugins), wifi works like a charm, I use the browser the whole time without problems, I've no idea what you're doing wrong. I'm on Simplicity (based on JVT) and the only thing that annoys me is that gingerbread uses too much RAM (can't multitask properly)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] 3d_jc:
I'm sorry to differ, but I have none of the issue you mention, but the wifi one, for which several workaround are available, 2 of them at least not involving your router at all.

Am yet to find a completely bug free device, but on JVT, I consider the i9000 to be on the very reliable side of things.

Back on the subject, we have seen LG changing their mind on ICS to broaden support already, I guess if the user base makes enough noise, who knows !

jc
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Hrithan2020:
Kindly enlighten me, on the "several workarounds" not involving the router. Have had the issue, nothing except messing with the router helped.

Also, regarding LG O2X, it is still among the flagship phone w.r.t LG, whereas Galaxy S and its variants [newer ones should be getting] have been superceded by Galaxy S2 and its variants. Also, Samsung has tons of phones to support [including their Bada & WP7 phone] unlike LG..

But, lets hope for the best :D

[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
i think they are following xda at least a bit,

just want to let them know that many users including me will abandon samsung brand for a SUPPORTED_BY_GOOGLE device like galaxy nexus or any other manufacturer that will be releasing latest & bugfree firmwares - and samsung is not following those two ...

what could help more that such petition is SPAMMING samsung public relations / product managers with something like my above statement

i understand that they want their latest device to be selling best but you can not ignore such horde of users of their earlier devices ... it could be easier to understand if we would have latest android updates and the firmwares would be tested and bugfree, but as for now gingerbread for sgs1 sucks salty balls:

- it is still fcing phone apk in latest firmware for eu

- it has problems with battery level when phone left on charger

- it still is not as fast as nexuss that is basicly sgs1 with flashlight and nfc :)

and that is only top of the iceberg ...

i will not be freakin pushed around to buy samsung latest device to have updated firmware and bugfixes for it ...

SAMSUNG: SGS1 (and its variants) is still your bestseller and all those users are disapointed by quality of the updates you push to their devices. keep that in mind ...

at the end sgs1 will e left with bunch of wierd kernels and crappy roms that will surley not atract new users to use your brand
[Galaxy S I9000 General] phzi:
I'm not even slightly disappointed with my sgs. Honestly nobody cares if you all don't buy Samsung phones again. Stop whining about ics when it isn't even released and find something less childish to do with your time then listen to yourself *****ing on xda. Samsung isn't going to read this, and if they do it doesn't represent enough users for them to care.

And a petition as suggested in the op is beyond stupid.

Mods: start moderating this damn community and delete stupid threads like this that are based on nothing more then speculation or personal thoughts and garbage. Xda really needs more mods.

itll never happen and why would you want it to

why on earth would any person with a little bit of nouse want to use a SGS1 with ICS? that last 2 updates slowed the phone down on each occasion and for some reason you all want to now put ICS on it, you really are all crackers to think the sgs1 is a bottomless pit of available power and resource, its a laggy slow phone that doesnt really meet the needs further than being an email-video-camera-phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
jvs & jvt infact gave a bit more responsivnes (or placebo effect)

but for sure did not slowed down the phone

and there are two more updates pushed that was not reported as slowing-down ones

let me go further - are you aware that nexuss is basicly the same phone as sgs1 in terms of hardware (basicly led + nfc + buttons rearanged) and ics FLY's on nexuss

Can anyone post a link that actually DOES work? I would really, really, appreciate that!
