I'm not going to be surprised if the Droid Charge gets Gingerbread before the Fascinate (they are also practically the same phone much like the Galaxy S4G and Vibrant). After the crap Samsung/Tmobile pulled with the Galaxy S4G vs. Vibrant, I won't be surprised if the same thing happens with the Droid Charge vs. Fascinate.
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
You are trolling so hard. First of all, it isn't FACT as you said. You need to get your FACTS straight. Motorola has made it very clear that their phones have unlocked bootloaders prior to Verizon getting their hands on it. Verizon is the one locking the bootloader. Motorola has made that very clear. Blame the carrier and stop trolling.
[Vibrant General] fulaman:
I guess I have to take back what I said, The Fascinate may be getting Gingerbread after all, I'm really hoping that my "Vibrant" brothers/sisters get the same love:

http://www.droid-life.com/2011/11/1...-the-samsung-fascinate-build-eh03-on-the-way/

We all know the Captivate will be getting it, several leaks of Gingerbread have surfaced for the Fascinate. Yet none not one from Samsuck/Tmofail has surfaced at all.
[Vibrant General] beowolf:
I am glad that my sensation 4g is on the way and i can finally get out of the vibrant ghetto. Gingerbread and ICS here i come.
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
The SGS4G and other variants of SGS had gingerbread leaks months ago while the Vibrant didn't have anything at all. I don't think we'll ever get anything.
[Vibrant General] fulaman:
That's very true, I understand your pain. Just today, the Fascinate (Verizon's Variant of the Galaxy S) just got a leak for 2.3.5
[Vibrant General] thachosenone:
that was only the Droid razr. You should read more.

Here's AT&T:

FACT....like the fact you have no idea what you're talking about.

Now how is Verizon locking bootloaders on phones on other networks? Anything else I can prove you wrong on?

Don't really see a problem with Bing. I get slacker premium for free thanks to Bing rewards. So I do all my searches with bing. It pays me. Google doesn't so f me :)

Free slacker. Free Xbox live gold. Sorry, the incentives are just too good.

Android makes it easy to set defaults so for non search things it's not hard to use whatever you want :P

Battery life on my GB ROM seems pretty damn good to me! This is on a stock 1500mah battery. Better than any HTC or motorola phone!
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
The fascinate should be getting gb soonish lol

Whatvwas that about Verizon. Didn't they release that phone months after the vibrant too? Like 3 months or so?
[Vibrant General] cashyftw:
Okay so why did you get a vibrant if the Samsung behold went through the same thing?
[Vibrant General] dardani89:
because I didn't know about the behold. do you not know about the vibrant? let me tell you a story...
[Vibrant General] KWKSLVR:
Look, the Vibrant is NEVER going to get Gingerbread. The Vibrant 4G is probably NEVER going to get ICS. It's T-Mobile, not Samsung. Part of having cheap service through T-Mobile means that they have less money to play with. Less money to play with means fewer updates that they were willing to pay Samsung for. This should be a simple thing to figure out.

Also, the freak'in thing is almost 18 months old, which is ancient in the smart phone world! People need to learn two damn things already:

1) If you want the latest and greatest, don't get locked into a contract, or be willing to pay an ETF/Full Retail the next time around

2) Buy a Galaxy Nexus and never worry about "fragmentation" again.
[Vibrant General] fulaman:
They did, I hate Bing on it though, but i hear in Gingerbread when you hit the Search key, it won't go to Bing anymore and now google which is a relief.

I really do feel for Vibrant owners, as a Fascinate owner myself. Don't forget that we Fascinate owners were the last to receive Froyo out of all the Galaxy S phones. I believe there may be light at the end of the tunnel even though you guys have not received any Samsung/Tmobile unofficial GB releases. Let's pray that they announce something soon.

U.S. Galaxy S Variants that have received the Gingerbread update: Samsung Mesmerize, Samsung Showcase, Samsung Epic 4G, Samsung Galaxy S 4G(Vibrant 4G)

The U.S. Galaxy S Variants that have not received Gingerbread: Samsung Vibrant, Samsung Fascinate, Samsung Captivate

The Fascinate just got a recent leak, and many are impressed with it, I haven't gotten a chance to root my phone, so I don't know how good it is.

The Captivate has also gotten many Gingerbread leaks, and I'm sure they will soon have Gingerbread officially as it has been confirmed by Samsung. I just don't understand why they wouldn't do it for the Vibrant. Aesthetically speaking, the Galaxy S phones are all very similar to the core, therefore, like you guys said, Carriers play a huge role in this.
[Vibrant General] thachosenone:
I read on another thread that asurion no longer sends out vibrants for insurance. So i'm thinking that there will be no official update to GB, since they don't even have replacement phones. I could be wrong though.
[Vibrant General] caldran:
are there any custom vibrant roms being built on this Samsung Galaxy S 4G gingerbread update.
[Vibrant General] os2baba:
I knew about the Behold, but got suckered into thinking that with the Samsung Galaxy S being a worldwide phone, they would sell a lot of these and there would be a lots of Devs working on it. They certainly sold a lot of it, but they never bothered supporting it.

I can't believe that people are still supporting Samsung and blaming T-Mobile. Google released Gingerbread on a Samsung phone that is very similar to the Galaxy S. With all the advanced code drops, they should have been working to get Gingerbread on every one of their Galaxy S phones. But they didn't. They should have released all the drivers for all their Galaxy S phones so at least we could have got custom ROMS easily. But they didn't. Then they worked on the ICS code. They should have released ICS on all their Galaxy S phones, but fat chance.

I will never buy another phone from Samsung again. The only exception is the Nexus line. I really wish that Google would have gone with HTC for the latest Nexus. My next phone is either going to be a Nexus or an HTC who for the most part do a fairly decent job with the mod community.

I don't have a problem with the Samsung hardware (and apart from the GPS, I'm very happy with the Vibrant). But their support sucks eggs. I will not return to an iPhone, but Apple knows how important it is to keep your existing customers happy. They make all their money from hardware. They could easily have decided to force their customers to buy a new phone and never let them upgrade iOS exept for bug fixes. But they know that the old customers, when they upgrade, will always look at Apple first. That basic business sense seems to be missing from all Android vendors and Samsung IMO is amongst the worst, if not the worst.
[Vibrant General] KWKSLVR:
1) Not all Galaxy S devices are the same.

2) No one is going to update a device for free. In the business world, every carrier paying Samsung to update their version of the SGS and then T-Mobile getting it for free is a REALLY bad idea. Carriers ask/pay for updates. Samsung also wouldn't have the right to load T-Mobile's bloatware either.

I realize there are a lot of dense people but come on, let's try to understand Business 101.

3) Samsung's drivers are proprietary to Samsung. They are NOT open source, they're essentially intellectual/private party and do not have to be released. Does Apple released their driver source? Does HTC release driver source especially for devices that do not have official (enter Android version here)? Driver source is device specific, why would Samsung take the time to develop, for free, drivers that they can't officially support? That's retarded.

4) Samsung not updating the Vibrant has EVERYTHING to do with T-Mobile, and the Vibrant 4G.

I can't believe people are still complaining over an outdated device. I swear, the *****ing in the Vibrant forums is beyond ridiculous. It's like everyone is 12 and has never owned a smart phone before. I'm gonna go write a nasty letter to Microsoft blaming them for Acer not releasing Windows 7 compatible drivers for my netbook. Damn Microsoft.
[Vibrant General] KWKSLVR:
Another thing, comparing Apple to Samsung is like comparing apples to fried chicken. Apple has 1 device and 1 OS. Even at that, the iPhone 4 doesn't run the same OS with the same features as the iPhone 4G. There are iPhone out there that are outdated. It's called progress.

Android and Apple are NOTHING alike. Comparing support for one phone with one manufacturer running essentially one OS to Android devices makes zero sense.

Apple users aren't happy because they get updates. 80% of iPhone users don't even know what all the device can do in the first place. Their iPhone makes them happy because they've been marketed to in a way where it makes them happy. Don't believe for a second that iPhones are without issue. I owned 3 in 2 months. The first 2 died due to hardware failure. The latest update for the iPhone 4 has been a monstrosity. A buddy of mine that is a certified apple tech in a local school system has horror stories about updating a good chunk of devices.

There is a difference between what Apple says and what Apple does.
[Vibrant General] Woody:
I like everything KWKSLVR said but.....View attachment 787386.....Plus those were two long ass posts from his phone judging by his signature. That is some thumb skills.
[Vibrant General] KWKSLVR:
ROFL! Now that made me LOL.

What can I say? SwiftKey is fairly swift. Plus I get a kick out of yelling at people over the same old tired BS. ;)

Whine and complain about it all long enough and I'm sure a flying spaghetti monster will appear and deliver automatic updates every month for the foreseeable future for the Vibrant!

T-Mobile is notorious for not supporting their devices, and T-Mobile customers are notorious for not accepting that fact. I've been with T-Mobile since they were Powertel. Since the dawn of the smartphone there's been T-Mobile ditching support for them.

You guys can blame T-Mobile and I'll blame a flying spaghetti monster. We can all be wrong together.
[Vibrant General] thachosenone:
Ha ha ha! Where's the

OP at? I'm surprised that he hasn't chimed in since I proved him completely wrong about the bootloader situation. I can't think if a single non nexus stock phone that was released around the same time as vibrant that didn't have some sort of performance problem.

Like I said before, we should all be content about this phone. If you don't like the current stock state, we're all posting on xda, so therefore, we all know something about rooting our devices. Be thankful that Samsung keeps shipping phones with unlocked bootloaders, and thank the great development community for taking their time to give us awesome hacks and ports to keep our almost year and a half phone relevant. life is too short to sit around complaining about things. If you don't like how something is, do something about it and stop *****ing.

What is vibrant plus?

[Vibrant General] stutter butter:
We should get ginger bread first!!!! The vibrant came out way before the SGS 4G
[Vibrant General] KWKSLVR:
No, we shouldn't, because we aren't getting it and never were! You know, the Droid X doesn't even have stable Gingerbread. T-Mobile has always been good for about 1 software update per device. A buddy of mine left T-Mobile for Verizon and walked away from his MyTouch for a DX because CyanogenMod wasn't complete (no bluetooth and some other things I believe) and CyanogenMod was his best option for Froyo at that time. T-Mobile said they'd update the MyTouch and never did. He decided that he wanted a larger network, and the lack of device support nudged him to leave T-Mo. Now it's a similar situation over at Verizon. Gingerbread is out for the Droid X but it isn't a very good experience. It's NOT "Samsung". It's NOT "Motorola" or "HTC", it's carriers.

It's asinine to blame Samsung when the Vibrant is the only variant without Gingerbread. Blame the carrier, not the manufacturer. Short of a Nexus device, someone tell me an Android Smartphone that has gotten timely updates for a 24 month period and is completely up to date with 2.3?
[Vibrant General] fulaman:
They have a right to complain, Samsung is supposed to support phones for 18 months.

If other galaxy s phones are getting the update, and the vibrant isn't, when it in fact has the capability to run gingerbread then the carrier/manufacturer are not doing their job.

Sorry that not everyone here is a rich boy like you and can afford the best and latest out there.
[Vibrant General] fulaman:
Now this I agree with, Apples marketing procedures are the best for such an overrated product.
[Vibrant General] stutter butter:
LOL

10 Char
[Vibrant General] KWKSLVR:
Samsung is supposed to support devices for 18 months? Where did you get that from?

1) It's up to the carrier to PAY the manufacturer for updates. Tmobile didn't do this. This is 100% Tmobile. A lack of understanding of how business works doesn't make it less true. Pitching a fit over it doesn't change it either.

2) What I buy is up to me. It's not my fault if most people love subsidiaries, contracts and whining because their carriers don't give them the latest and greatest for free along with subpar customer service to complement their 2 year agreement. There's a reason why contracts exist and it's because that carrier didn't really make anything off the device they sold you.

3) If you want the latest and greatest, then buy a Nexus. Put $50 in an envelope every month and at the end of the year you'll have $600 for the next Nexus. If you can't save $50/month, then I suggest a claimshell or NOT complaining because your budget is to tight for toys. If I were rich I'd swap phones every 3 months.

Plan, save, execute or whine and complain. Whining on XDA about Samsung does nothing to fix Tmobile's decision to not pay Samsung for a device update.

You guys need to prioritize. Toys are important to me and not having contracts are too. There's value in it for me. I paid retail for my Vibrant. I have a 4G MiFi on VZW I paid retail for to avoid a contract. I have cash set aside for a Galaxy Nexus to swap to Verizon without contract. I plan for it, not my fault if others don't.

I prefer to be able to come and go as I please for whatever reason I choose. Choosing to be subsidized and stuck to one device for 2 years is the consumer's choice. No where in your contract does it say Tmobile will update your device. Tmobile supports your device, not Samsung. Tmobile makes the call on the devices THEY bought from Samsung then resold to the consumer. The only thing Samsung guarantees you is a 12 month warranty against defects.
[Vibrant General] fulaman:
Well, I can't argue with anything you said here, because you are right.

Whining here isn't going to fix the problem.

Which one of these applications is more accurate when evaluating CPU speed?
[HTC EVO 3D] cajones42:
I would say neither. If i had to chose it would be linpak because quadrant is for single core only. It is fun to run every app on your phone at once and then do a quadrant test. Evo 3d doesnt drop a point, and all my other single core phones would make a huge difference.
[HTC EVO 3D] jshawjr:

To remove the update notification you can freeze the update centre system app in titanium backup
