Yeah that's the main deal. Mainly when the updates are not controled by them on most of the devices. Most of the fragmention issues people complain about is due to the fast updates. They may get it to the device manufacturer say in 2weeks after they release it. Then it takes the OEM 3 months to make it work on their devices. Then they ship it to the carriers who have to add their crap into it. So by the end it takes 5+ months till it is ready for current devices and by then the carriers refuse to release it due to newer phones coming out. If it wasn't for carriers it would be less of a pain but that just is not the case. Now that Google has allowed Verizon to add crap to a Nexus every carrier is gonna want to do it.

Just doesn't make sense to keep pushing out fast updates

[General Topics] sooyong94:
At least Sammy puts up updates faster than most manufacturer does though. LG and Moto actually has the worst updates anyway.... Still remember how LG screwed up their GB update on the Optimus 2X? :D

[General Topics] Skv012a:
Is that to say that they'll actually iron out ALL the kinks and polish a bucket of wax per new update or just gonna become totally lazy about them?
[General Topics] zelendel:
No it says that with fewer updates the carriers will be more likely to release the updates and then there will be less fragmentation

i didnt have samsung Phone :p
[General Topics] ~lll:
Thanks man, but i9003 Community dont have stable CM7, dont have Official Gingerbread ( we're basing on leaks ) with all working, we dont have MIUI

in this day i'm trying to port MIUI to our phone, but everyway has the same ( or added bug ) of CyanogenMod Port , becouse miui 's based on CM Kernel with CM libs

anyway its can be stable went someone fixed the absurde power compsuption, like 20% in 2 hours with screen Off

There is also a thing called brand heritage that you should not be forgetting. It is moments like this when you find out that the SGS is not going to get the ICS update you are going to remember when buying a new phone.
[General Topics] FinancialWar:
Which is again illogical, because what a company did in the past is in the past, when you buy a new phone the decision should be based on what the phone and it's company can serve you in the future.
[General Topics] zelendel:
That logic doesn't hold when talking about the smartphone market in its present state. Hardware is updating too fast. By next summer or sooner we will have the quadcore phones and then it should slow down and you can look at a phone for long term. Right now. The phone is obsolete by the time its released. Hell even ATT puts the phones on EOL after 5 months.
[General Topics] Skv012a:
Who honestly even needs half of the current available specs though? These are bloody phones we're talking about after all, not server PCs.
[General Topics] FinancialWar:
The only rumoured quadcore phone is HTC edge? Don't think samsung has a quadcore phone confirmed.
[General Topics] zelendel:
That's why I said next summer or sooner. Once HTC does something it is soon copied by others. Mainly when it comes to android.
[General Topics] Toss3:
There have been plenty of studies showing the exact opposite, people always think about the most memorable moments when considering repurchasing a brand. If Samsung has treated its customers badly in the past, no way are the same people going to buy from the same company again(except on rare occasions). THAT would be illogical.

lol whole line of 2011 xperia phones... BS how about the x8???

well at least its easy for x8 to upgrade from 1.6 to 2.1 not the same for my gt540 (full name is gt540 optimus swift. its the first optimus to hit markets but some how they make the optimus one sound like the first ...)

to me lg is the worst when it comes to updates they only (update each phone once in terms of android version eg 1.6 -> 2.1)

my gt540 did not even come with fastboot or a misc partition to house a recovery so we have to use some bull**** software at the chance of 70% brick and 30% pass to get both fastboot and create a partition for recovery. both the x8 and gt540 are still mostly using the damn ancient .29 kernel maybe except for some .32 or .35 kernel which are still in active development.

MICROSOFT SAMSUNG AND APPLE Reply

So Windows Mobile just had poor battery life to you?

Exactly. I might just watch a video of it, but I think MS is screwing us all big time with these "buttons the size of the screen" bullcrap being ported to the desktop.

I agree with you on the "cheap" part there. Hold a Samsung Fascinate in one hand and a Motorola Droid anything in the other hand and you'll see instantly. Even the original (and innovative) Samsung Omnia (epic machine by the way) felt too light for its size class.

I sure hope not. The way Microsoft screwed ten years worth of Windows Mobile progress with this abomination they still dare to call "Windows Mobile" is a smack in everyone's face. I'll never own another Microsoft Mobile product.

As an american consumer, korean products are a better deal than most japanese products. korea has a vibrant economy while japan has been experiencing deflation for the past 20 years.

Korean companies made all my newest phones, tvs, radios and air conditioners. i bought korean because the price is lower and the quality is the same or better. in the 1990's japanese companies made all of these things because they had the best quality to price ratio.

If i were only concerned with price, id buy chinese products.. Its price to quality ratio that matters.

Galaxy S is 1,5 years old. It went from 2.1 to 2.2 then 2.3. What else do you want. Just live with it. Its a company, it needs to make money to survive.

Galaxy S has a nice community, which will eventually get 4.0 to the phone. Just let Samsung focus on their newer phones.

I'm totally happy with the support I got for this phone. Hardware is awesome, I like touchwiz, phone is fast, awesome screen, updates for Froyo and Gingerbread. Its everything what I paid for.

You cant expect them to keep updating.

anyway you can just root your SGS i9000 and flash an ICS Android 4.0 ROM which are MIUI / CM9. i mean, THERE ARE LOTSSS OF ICS ROM for Galaxy S now don't you think? and it's just the very first S series so, why would samsung make it upgradable after the ICS version? it's cheap enough for it to have the next android version (After ICS) LOL. S2 probably will have an OS after ICS. and the upcoming S3 will have the ICS, but could upgrade it for newer versions.

[General Topics] zelendel:
Ok guys seems this has gone on long enough. This is nothing new nor is it a surprise. There is not Future proof phone right now. Hardware is changing way to fast. Once the hardware specs get stable then phones will most likely be able to handle more updates, but right now you cant expect your phone with a single core 1ghz processor to be able to handle an OS built for a dual core 2.5ghz. (just an example)

Check out my post... hope it helps fully... :)

[Miscellaneous Android Development] droidiser:
I'm assuming you're using windows 7 pc.

Download the adb and fastboot for mi 310 from above, extract it in c:/on your computer.

Navigate to My Computer (Icon)-

>Properties (Link)->Advanced System

Settings (Link)->Advanced (Tab)-

>Environment Variables (Button)->System

variables (Section) ->Path (Variable)-> Edit

(Button)-> Variable value .

Add ;c:/adb (including the semi colon, don't erase the previous values, just add this behind them) and press ok.

Test if fastboot is correctly setup by opening a command prompt and giving fastboot Cubans, if the fastboot help is listed down, you're going good till now but if it says fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command then you have to review your environment variable part.

Now, download the drivers for your phone from above and extract it anywhere.

enter fastboot mode on your phone by pressing camera + trackpad + power button until the black command prompt like screen pops up.

Connect your device to computer, now you're phone should say Processing commands.

Open device manager on your PC, and find where your phone is, click on update driver and select the location of the drivers you extracted previously,

Disconnect the USB and reconnect it again, if it says Google USB fastboot interface something like that in the taskbar, you're going great guns.

Otherwise try installing the drivers again.

Now, download clockwork mod for our device from links above and paste it in c:/adb and extract it there.

Press shift and while holding it, right click anywhere in the explorer and select open command prompt here.

Enter fastboot devices in the command prompt , if

? fastboot

comes up, its nice.

Now, give the command

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

And if it says okay, okay, then give the command fastboot reboot.

Disconnect the phone from USB, and switch it off.press trackpad+ volume down + power button till the recovery screen comes up, you can scroll up and down using volume keys and select something by pressing the trackpad.Go to backup and restore and perform a backup, it would take 2-3 minutes.

Download dodol ROM.from above.You've to use amend2edify (see my next post) and now paste the dodol.zip from the amend2edify folder to your sdcard.Again enter the recovery mode and choose apply zip from sd card, select the zip, it will start installing.After installation is complete, reboot your device using the recovery and WAIT

It will take upto 10 minutes for the first boot, if you can't boot even after 20 minutes, pull out the battery, enter the recovery and perform a restore, otherwise try installing it again

In this process, all applications from your phone will be erased but your data sdcard will be intact, but you can try backing it up to avoid any chances of losing it.

Browsing through your previous posts,i realised the error you're getting is regarding the use of amend scripts in the Dodol ROM.

To solve this,first download amend2edify from here:

http://attachments.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=532465&d=1299163136

extract it anywhere and double click on amend2edify.exe

Click on file>open>locate dodol rom

Something will come written in input and output tabs,no need to waste your time reading them.Click file>save and flashable version of dodol will be saved in the folder where you extracted amend2edify,copy it from there and paste into your sdcard and simply flash vai the recovery !!!
