Lots of words that answer nothing. I suspect you were sent a form reply that the service tech thinks most closely matches your request.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] burhanistan:
Sorry, but I think you're being a drama queen. You asked the wrong department about finding a retail location for a product that isn't available in all areas yet and you met with some language issues.

Not really useful for a post here at all.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] XDAKhan:
For a senior member, you're quick on the name calling. Since I am a junior one, I hope this is not the norm around here...

Wrong department?...really...?...The one and only Samsung Support line/email?

Do you suggest I go and circumvent all the Samsung European Support lines (...as I have successful done in my own country...) in an effort to have a clear reply from each country I might consider?

Since I've met with clueless support that even didn't knew the models had been announced when I contacted the "Portuguese" support number and now have been served this answer after contacting the Dutch support line what exactly do you recommend?...Drive to Samsung Europe HQ in Chertsey, Surrey, UK and put the question in person?

I disagree.

Together with my previous experiences with Samsung (...the same kind of thing happened exactly the same way when I tried to procure an BR/HD-DVD player, the BD-UP5000 a few years ago...), this points out to a kind of "unsupport" people should be aware of.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] burhanistan:
Heh "Senior Member" just means 100 posts. It's a pointless rank.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] GOF007:
Some questions do not have solid answer.

And they can not just said "We dont know" do they?

Even they are Samsung, it doesnt mean they know everything about their own market plan; the HQ may not come up with the release date or release area yet so they really have no info to answer. And again they cant answer "We dont know".

In the end you get a lengthy reply with equal meaning to "We dont know".
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Gaugerer:
I think the technical support provided by Samsung on their Official Site and via telephone and other specialist sites such as their firmware site is normal for a large manufacturer but not outstanding.

The release information of new models such as the 32GB/64GB is probably only known to a few people within the higher echelons of Samsung who will release it when they are ready and that is no different from other manufacturers. However, as someone who is impatient to get ICS I understand how you feel.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] XDAKhan:
Fair enough...at least we know how unorganized they stand.

Since day 1, with the GT-P1000, I can't shake this feeling that Samsung has kind of a "Tsunami" approach to this tablets things...They keep pouring and pouring models out, in "fuzzy" all-out-all-in" approach that even they can't keep pace and track of.

How difficult can it be to announce a model, it's various incarnations and, come the "D" day, have them all in the stores for the customers to choose from?

Apple does it, so...

...as far as the support regarding information about their product goes, in my continuous experience, they better get their act together or they will fail miserably short of the top Android tabs global player they're aiming to be.

With Apple in mind and adopting a oriental tone about Samsung, if I may: "No mater how much he may which so, a cat does not become a tiger just because he thinks he can roar".

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] GOF007:
Even App** will have hard time keeping track of the products if they have so much models and model variations like Sammy.

At the moment App** do not(or can not) release their products at the same time in many countries, and "not at the same time" means many months delay with no solid release date too. There is no official "The New iPad" here yet in Thailand and also many other countries.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] XDAKhan:
Precisely!

Don't even go there...there's no comparison.

Apple announced the 3rd generation iPad March 7th, 2012. They announced 6 models x 2 colors.

On the 16th of March it was released in the US. All 6 models, in two colors.

Since then, it has steadily been released across the globe in 55 different counties (Thailand will added to the list soon, as I understand it)

All the announced 6 models. In the announced 2 colors.

We're talking a flawless launch at global scale in about 2 months.

If I decided right now to buy one, I would have it delivered at my door, from Apple Portugal within 5 working days. No inquiries. No endless searches. No clueless "support" operators.

Just one of the 6 models in one of the 2 colors I would have chosen from.

...All I am saying is that Samsung really goes the extra mile for us, their customers, to feel alienated.

If it wasn't for the obnoxious format, the inferior display (for photography) and the "gated", non-adaptive-fully-exclusive philosophy behind their products I know which "buy" button, I would be clicking right now...

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] 九千.:
As cold as the reply you got from Samsung it seems to be, they are telling you the truth. 32GB and 64GB version of SGT 7.7 exists, but are not selling on global scale. I have been told they launched them in India, but beyond that I have little knowledge with. As it was not intended to be a global launch, a direct comparison with iPad is not quite appropriate.

For a heavy user like myself I think 16GB version is sufficient, though I wouldn't mind extra 48GB if it's available.:D
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] reverendbill:
For a company that exists to sell things, they shouldn't make it so hard to buy their things. They should have a database of products and where to get them. Not, 'I don't know, you figure it out.'
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] 九千.:
I don't know about Samsung, but some other vendors operating on international scale would actually discourage their staff from releasing products information like pricing and availability outside their own region. This is called regional market segmentation, its purpose is to maximize profit on their own region. (Yes, I know Apple is an exception, because they tend to sell at perpetual high price)

Say, they won't want to let customers in Hong Kong know that they could get a 64G version in India for half the price of 16G in Hong Kong. (Just an example, not for real :))
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] XDAKhan:
Sorry, I don't think you've read the reply right.

To the question "When and where would this product be available in the Netherlands" they replied by, basically, sending me on a wild-goose chase around the country (mine?).

This is no way to treat anyone in any kind of relation, let alone for a manufacturer to treat its clients.

I buy a lot of electronics and photography related items and, I can assure you, this is not the norm.

Once contacted, the manufacturers usually check when and where the requested item is available, or where it will be or, if permanently not available, informs what the limitations are.

...In fact, this was the very same logical and respectful approach I got from Samsung Portugal, once I figured how to talk directly to them !

It's just this "Official Support" masquerade that they have put in place that behaves in this unsporting way.

XK
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] zazonk:
hi, I also wanted to buy it from Netherlands but got it the last minute somewhere else. But I did find that dixons.nl had good customer support and actally answered my emails, give it a try
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] 九千.:
I actually side with you, but not in the obvious way that you could notice. I think I should make my stance on all these for you now.

The guilt in Samsung is too deep that there is no manageable way to right the wrong they have done to you. I was so furious when I came to the part where they gave you a Brazilian-Portuguese speaking support while all you were asking is a less Brazillian one. I would be pretty upset and frustrated if I were given a Putonghua Chinese speaking support while they they have full-knowledge of my Cantonese Chinese speaking habit. That is a-b-s-o-l-u-t-e-l-y o-u-t-r-a-g-e-o-u-s.

You deserve better, but damage is done. If I were you, I would not give them the privilege of abusing me any further, by refusing to use any of their product, A-N-Y-M-O-R-E! They will regret having losing a valuable customers like you very soon. Mark my words. ;)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] chrisrotolo:
same thing for me around the time the tab plus was released. I called multiple samsung reps, chatted online scoured all the websites. For a few days I believed there would be no 3G version with voice.

Until someone on Xda sent me the link where he bought his in malaysia.

Since then I have absolutely given up on their support.

I had even said, I understand the 3G version will not likely come to US, as the first one didnt make it, and I can understand that, but is there anywhere in the world, I said; that "might" (hint) be selling these?

they're a bunch of parrots reading from their computers or manuals.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] XDAKhan:
Zzzzzttt...

(The sound a fly makes when, wondering aimlessly through the air, stumbles upon one of those bright blue contraptions.)

;) ;)

XK
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] XDAKhan:
Hmmm...it seems they don't have it, like everyone else across Europe.

For a moment I had some hopes, as some Swiss and Austrian sites listed a 32Gb version, but it was also a hoax. All the ones I contacted said they had none and didn't know when they might have.

Dixon NL has a very nice price for the 16GB one, though...Maybe I cave in the next weeks, while over there and just get one of those.

Meanwhile, the announced new Toshiba featuring a SuperAMOLED display is just adding more options for my decision...

:rolleyes:

XK
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ikeny:
Take it easy guys. If you don't like Samsung, vote with your wallet and buy an iPad. You'll get better support.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] XDAKhan:
In sensu stricto, yes.

In sensu lato, no way.

You see, what is allowed by a system and what is denied by its creator can also be regarded as "support" (...or the lack of it...), in a broader sense.

XK
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ikeny:
There are two sides of every coin. Limited hardware and OS variants may be the reason why Apple is more successful in post-sale support. When Apple upgrade iOS, all supported hardware get the them, and get them on the same day. This will not happen with Android for a loooong time.

However, I too like Android for its flexibility and customization. Just don't expect Samsung or Google to show you how to do that. As much as I love my GTab, I still couldn't believe how Android can get away with NOT providing a way for user to backup their in-app data (game levels, documents generated inside app).
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] XDAKhan:
Yes, I see what you mean...but I don't think replying accurately to customers queries (...or even so much as knowing what's be inquired about...) has nothing to do with the multiplication of devices...maybe it has to do with the fact that Samsung is multi-product, multi-target behemoth.

Anyway, this is now a moot point for me, as I decided to get the 16Gb version in the next few days.

Now that I have established here and in other forums that my need for large amounts of storage (...for the tab to also act as a photo viewer/bank... ) can be sufficiently catered for with the ability to connect a USB flash stick, I'll just get a 128GB one and forget the all-elusive 32 and 64Gb versions of the 7.7.

Today, I pulled the trigger on a 64Gb microSD, a Jabra Clipper, a EFC-1E3NBEGSTA case and a 5$ (!!!) chinese version of the EPL-1PLRBEGSTA USB & SD Connection Kit. :)

From Thursday onwards I'll be in Holland and I'll just get myself a 479 EUR GT-P6800 from Dixons NL, thank you very much :p

...thank you all for the support and help and, especially, thank you zazonk, for the Dixons tip... ;)

XK
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] 九千.:
Let me get this straight....regardless of all those poor supports you received and after all those rants against Samsung, you still want to buy from Samsung?!

Aren't you encouraging them to further abusing you?

Do you hear the sound? It is the sound of a fly heading toward a bright blue contraption and died after yelling out loud that contraption was being wrong to him.

Anyway, welcome abroad the pirate ship. :D
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] XDAKhan:
Yes, because:

1. The 7.7 is the tab that, objectively, best serves my needs.

2. My previous one, the GT-P1000 performed (performs) flawlessly, providing exactly what I expected and needed from it for 16 months already, day-in, day out, in such a competent way that, if it wasn't for the less than convenient recharging cycles, it would be "transparent" to me.

3. What has failed (multiple times) on me, regarding Samsung, is their Pre-buy (un) Support. I've never had to resort to their after sales service, so I don't know the level on that one.

...but since I've already established a direct-link with Samsung Portugal, I don't expect much problems in that area (EC law stipulates they have to provide assistance to any Samsung product bought within the EC).

No, because once bought, you have no idea how the EC legislation protects any item I may have procured from them.

It's huge and yes it is bright blue...but that's what Samsung is all about.

I was referring to other contraptions. The ones whose lethal nature can not be understood by clueless flies.

Thanks...quite some helpful blokes, for a pirate ship :)

XK
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] 九千.:
Right you are. The form factor alone makes SGT 7.7 worthy. Seriously, the back panal is so cool. ;)

BTW, joke aside, I sympathize your unfortunate experience with their support. In the past they offered best support services here in Hong Kong. So I hope what you have encountered is just an unique case and hope you get much better support services in the future.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zin0:
I've read countless threads/posts regarding how adding the gallery and music player to the "auto-end list" will stop Poweramp from pausing when the screen times out. The thing is, 1. I don't have a task killer, 2. In the native android manager, I don't have an option add anything to a list, and 3. The only app that might be close to a task killer is Juice Defender Ultimate. In Juice Defender, I added Poweramp to the Configure Apps list. Nothing seems to work.

Edit- It stops right when the lockscreen takes effect say for example, 5 secs after the screen times out.
[HTC Rezound] Wendemixda:
I want to try a ROM with sense 4. I understand there are some small issues with ROMs running sense 4, such as bluetooth not working properly, or MMS. Can anyone advise about a sense 4 Rom they have used? what issues they have and if they can be used as a daily driver? I want to try the ROM with the least issues. Thanks.
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
Best thing to do is check the first post of each Sense 4.0 ROM. The Dev's list bugs they know of so users know what they are flashing.

Currently I am running RezRom S4 1.2 which is fairly stable. To my knowledge, this is the only Sense 4.0 ROM which has MMS working properly and is fairly quick. Bluetooth for streaming music works on all Sense 4.0 roms, however, using bluetooth for phone is not. If you absolutely need that function, Sense 4.0 roms are not for you.

To be honest, I think you should try them out and see which one you like. I run RezRom S4 as my daily so that could be a start for you.

I will stress that you read the OP's of each rom THOROUGHLY that way you are not disappointed when you boot up. You absolutely must exit the initial setup and disable the animations to avoid ghosting and serious lag.
[HTC Rezound] Evocm7:
Newts one xxx is pretty stable. Mms worked for me. Didn't try Bluetooth. All sense 4 roms have been kinda laggy for me though. Nils business ics is a great Rom as well with sense 3.6
[HTC Rezound] bbeaulieu:
Yeah all the Sense 4.0 ROMs are pretty stable and most things work except Bluetooth calls and maybe a couple small things depending on the ROM you get. Only issue is they lag a bit, especially when switching home screens. Seems like maybe we don't have full h/w acceleration yet on thes ROMs but I'm no expert.

If I HAD to go with a ROM I'd pick |||bored|||'s since I've had the most luck with it, but I generally go back to ICS with Sense 3.6 since more things are working and they run smoother. Sense 4.0 is definitely fun to play with though.

[General Questions and Answers] Coltie:
The CM's developers are an unbelievable organisation.CM is used by lots of people..A lot I mean. I'm not much into all that stuff but I think that the 7 version of CM is considered as an original android development.Do you think they would jeopardize that for some random email? I dont think so..Maybe it is a coincidence, maybe it is not.I'm almost sure that it aint a virus..but you could never know.If you have any doubts about them you can change your rom, but there's no way imo that they have stolen your account..Good luck.
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
Did you download CM7 from the official sites?
[General Questions and Answers] Zeitgeist4:
Wipe all and make a fresh install of the rom.

And change your gmail account password!
[General Questions and Answers] jtdroid:
The rom was downloaded from the Bravo dev section and is the only CM7 rom available for the phone. It is not officially supported and therefore not on CM7's site
[General Questions and Answers] olyloh6696:
It won't be the issue. I don't think you should blame CM.
[General Questions and Answers] cyr0s:
As said earlier, the official CMteam don't, and wouldn't backdoor their ROM. Other parties (those who make unofficial variants/other ROMs) don't have the reputation to protect. This is why, when I install a ROM from a not so renown team, I make a phony gmail account during the signup.

You could try an install the gapps bundle from CyanogenMod wiki (I can't post links as I'm new, but google "cyanogenmod gapps" and it's the first result)
[General Questions and Answers] jtdroid:
I'm not blaming CM. I was just asking what might have caused this. I just found it strange that it happened within hours of installing the ROM. I have never had my email hacked.
[General Questions and Answers] SmiteIke:
RESOLVED: Turns out it was GO SMS causing all the problems. The most recent update fixed all my problems. Still have no clue why this would cause my stock messaging app to crash *shrugs*

I have an HTC Evo3D, which had been working fine until this morning. Any app that deals with SMS messages now hangs up and freezes my entire phone, requiring me to take out my battery and restart my phone. I normally use GO SMS, but the default Messenger app crashes as well. Usually the app will load, and I'll see my list of conversations, but if I try to load a conversation or send a new text, everything freezes up and I'm left beating my head against the wall while my phone restarts. I tried to install an SMS backup app, but it froze up as well. Cleared the app data for GOSMS, but no luck.

My phone number is integrated with Google Voice, so I'm willing to erase all my SMS messages if I need to, but I have no idea how to do this without access to a messaging app. Needless to say, this is pretty frustrating :(

Any protips, Android Gods?

EDIT: I just realized that the GO SMS popup shows up when I get a new text, but if I try to reply or open the conversation--crash, crash, crash. This makes me think there might be something wrong with my SMS archive, but I'm clueless how to fix it.

when im on original firmware i dont have this problem, but after i flash/downgraded to .42/.58 i have this problem.

i wonder if its my router or sd card problem. because when this problem occured if im not mistaken it was the day when i bought a new router due to old router are ****ed up because of lightning. or maybe because my sd card are ****ed up.

and also, my wifi disconnets by itself too when im browsing android market and appbrain market. while im browsing for an app my wifi disconnected constantly and reconnect again which is annoying.

but had no problem disconnecting while i watch youtube and surfing the web which is weird
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] miniProBhashi:
Could be a problem in ur WiFi router. See whether if u have set direct download limits from ur compt. To the router.

phones restarting when downloading should be a memory management problem. Ur SD card should not be filled.

So I just got a message update to 4.0.4 was ready. My nexus was rooted / bootloader unlocked. Update went fast and flawlessly.

The build number us IMM76I

All I can say is, WOW (no not the trash mmo)

- The whole phone is faster.

- Faster screen rotate

- Browser feels 3x faster. Pages load really quick.

- Keyboard lag gone. Text input on forum bugs gone.

- Sound seems louder. I will stop using volume+

- Signal strength seems great. 3 bars right now.

- Noticeable better camrra performance.

and more !!

Overall, great upgrade. I cannot spot any bug anywhere now.
