I know and feel the same as you.

I too have one of the latest Samsung Series 8 TV's and was looking forward to having that remote (my Granddaughter manages often to sneakily get the TV Remote. The TV comes with two remotes ~ a large normal remote and a small ball like-shaped remote which my Wife has by her chair)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Tachikoma_kun:
I will look for an appropriate email address when I get home from work, we should probably get as many people as we can with the SGS to email them and see what their reply is. Could probably throw in some "false advertising" talk and see if it calls their hand.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Beards:
That will be geat..... Rather than all of us looking and finding different email addresses it will make sense to have one common address to hit.

I'm all for sending off messages to those that do not deliver as promised. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Tachikoma_kun:
Let's be honest, if a certain fruit flavoured company did this, they would be looking at a swift invite to court.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] julian2002:
are they not part of touch wiz and switched on when you use the home or car docks? Not sure about the tv remote - but i heard that only worked with 2010 samsung tv's anyway (via dlna?)

i believe there are some developer tools that let you fake various dock schemes on the android marketplace if oyu want to check.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Tachikoma_kun:
Well for those of us in the UK this seems the best bet:

ars.samsung.com/customer/form/formmail/SEUK/input.jsp?SITE_ID=112&PROD_ID=79
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Beards:
Thank you for this.

I was just about to start sending off a message when I decided to first go to the Samsung-Mobile UK web site and get the names of the morning alarm and car screens which showed the application icons.

Imagine my surprise when I find the movie they used to play that used to show these screens (including the TV Remote) have all disappeared.

Has anyone else noticed these items seemed to be have dropped from the Samsung sites?

Here's the UK one which used to show them.

EDITED:

Okay, I dropped them off an email.

If anyone wishes to use/copy the one I sent please feel free to do so.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to you today in order that I may obtain information as to the whereabouts of various screens and applications that are missing from the previously shown video promotion for the Samung i9000 Galaxy S.

When the Samsung i9000 Galaxy S was first introduced it showed on various Samsung web sites a video promotion of the phone being run outlining various screen uses it would carry out throughout the course of the day.

The first of these screen uses were a 'Morning Screen' which showed the TIME in Landscape mode and had various morning applications.

Next we had the 'In Car Screen' where the i9000's screen had now changed with this time showing (again in Landscape mode) various applications laid out in a pattern that were associated with work/business.

Finally towards the end of the evening we had an 'Entertainment Screen', where one could sit back in front of their Samsung TV and use the i9000 as a TV Remote.

My question to you is ~ What has happened to these screens.

1. Why do we not see these screens and applications on our i9000 Galaxy S as previously advertised?

2. Why have these screens been dropped from the Samsung web site video promotion?

I purchased my Samsung i9000 Galaxy S in part based on the web video promotion and what was shown at the various Live Shows.

Now I find these screens and applications no longer advertised nor available on the i9000.

I look forward to your kind response.

Yours sincerely
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Tachikoma_kun:
Nicely put, I will use the same one, was a little tipsy last night so had to stop myself sending a message in case I said anything silly. :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] julian2002:
the remote is part of the allshare app - controlls your 2010 sammy tv via dlna. the other screens are dock specific - car and home dock respectively so i assume part of touchwiz.

a bit of googling is all you need to find this out.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Beards:
Then why has Samsung removed all reference to this from the web site I gave earlier?

Also, ref the DLNA screen...... I don't get any remote showing for my Samsung Series 8 TV.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Beards:
Well guys, I received a reply from Samsung.... and not one that I was wanting either.

Basically the department have washed their hands of the question and told me to go to 'Tech Supp'.

I've now fired another question to them asking why on earth this is a technical issue?

Below is the reply I received from Samsung:-

Dear Mr Paterson

Thank you for your email to Samsung Mobile Content UK regarding the I9000.

As your enquiry relates to a technical issue, you would need to contact our technical support team regarding this matter.

Please use the link below to submit your enquiry to the relevant department http://ars.samsung.com/customer/form/formmail/SEUK/input.jsp?SITE_ID=31&PROD_ID=954&AGE_ID=0 or by phone call 08456 7267864.

Please do not hesitate to contact us again by email on http://ars.samsung.com/customer/form/formmail/SEUK/input.jsp?SITE_ID=112&PROD_ID=79 or by phone on 0844 499 9992 option 3 between 0900 and 1700 Monday to Friday if you have any further queries for Samsung Mobile.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] TravUK:
Well, I've just sent a similar inquiry via the link provided asking about the missing features and whether I've been mis-sold the phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Beards:
Thanks Mark.

As you and anyone else reading this will understand, the only way we are going to get answers is to voice our concerns and questions.

The more that ask the stronger our feelings should be felt.

The answer is probably simple and clear but to make it that way we have to ask Samsung to 'spell it out'. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] TravUK:
... and I was given the same 'Go F... Yourself' response that you were....
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] TravUK:
I have subsequently responded saying its not a technical inquiry, but a sales/marketing inquiry relating to the Sale of Good Act. We'll see if that gets past the automatic response.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] TravUK:
And I received this response, that firstly states we're sending the request to the wrong place, and washes its hands of any liability for mis-selling the device:

Thank you for your email to Samsung Mobile Content UK regarding the Samsung Galaxy S.

The reason I referred you to technical support was due to the fact that you have emailed the Samsung Fun Club, and we deal with ringtones and wallpapers for Samsung mobiles. It was also a possible technical issue with the handset, if things you expect to be on it are not available to you. Also I can advised you that Samsung are not covered by that Sale of Goods act as we did not sell you the phone, your retailer did. If you feel you have been mis-sold the product then please take this up with your retailer.

If you have a marketing / sales enquiry then please phone Samsung head office on 01932 455000.

We hope this is helpful. Please do not hesitate to contact us again by email on http://ars.samsung.com/customer/form/formmail/SEUK/input.jsp?SITE_ID=112&PROD_ID=79 or by phone on 0844 499 9992 option 3 between 0900 and 1700 Monday to Friday if you have any further queries for Samsung Mobile Content.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Tachikoma_kun:
What a crock of poo, if they are so blase about this, I dread to think if they will bother with the 2.2 update now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Beards:
My reply was quite similar..

Nothing that gave any response to the question.

I'm going to be tied up in surgery for the next few days so won't have any time to push this.

If I can leave this open to you guys to have a look at, please post any comments you receive.

Thanks

Beards
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Tachikoma_kun:
My fault for not finding the right email address, sorry, it said nothing about ringtones and stuff like that. I sent another reply to their technical team, will see what they come up with to get out of giving us advertised features. They are right that Samsung themselves didn't sell us the phone, so we may just be out of luck.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] accinfo:
What I am assuming is that once the official cradles (car / home), these features will also be released.

Once you hook your phone to the cradle it'll automatically goes to the car screen / home screen. (once again it's an assumption)

If you're curious where I have read about the availability of the official cradles, you can try to search about the US NY event. They mentioned about the cradles then.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Beards:
If this were the case, then why we do we not see the screen for the TV Remote screen?

I've already got the latest Samsung LED TV.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] accinfo:
Do you see "Samsung AllShare" as one of the apps?

Try to use that to see if that'll do the trick
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Beards:
Yes, TravUK and myself have gone through AllShare for DLNA problems many, many times in the past.....

When you hit AllShare you get three options... and none will bring up the TV Remote Controller that you see on the promotion web sites (Vol Up/Down, Ch+/- etc, etc.

The TV Remote Controller is a separate app which is not listed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] accinfo:
Now that statement leads me to believe that Samsung will finalize that feature in the nearest future.

Btw, how old is your Samsung TV? I remember coming across an article stating that that feature only works with Samsung TV 2009+ or 2010+ DLNA certified product.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Beards:
My Samsung LED TV is the latest Series 8 purchased this year.

As to the TV Remote Controller, I don't think it is anything to do with DLNA, well certainly not using the AllShare app that is....
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] accinfo:
http://galaxys.samsungmobile.com/index.html?index=1&ver=high

I was searching about and came across this.

In the 'remote control' tab, it says,"

"

So i would assume only Samsung TVs 2011+?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Beards:
That would be idiotic!

I read it to mean it is only compatible with the current 'latest' Samsung TV's.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] TravUK:
Yeah that would be a little insane, if taken literally it could also mean, not compatible any Samsung TV that exists today.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] jUsT2eXy:
If only the remote control was infrared so we could control any tv... my HP Ipaq had that...good times...

but that sucks if remote isn't yet available for current samsung tv's
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] TravUK:
As I understand it the TV Remote will use the AllShare/DLNA system, but will be a different app to the current AllShare.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Beards:
Agreed Mark.... That is the only concrete information I found from Samsung.

Pity they could not tell me more about the 'missing' application and 'when' it will magically appear.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] TravUK:
I see that all mention of the Home Screen and Home Dock have been removed from the main Galaxy S website.

The UK site still shows a mock-up picture of the TV remote control but doesn't list it as a feature anymore.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] lgkahn:
get a tivo :) the tivo remote app works great over wifi.. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Beards:
Bugger!

...and if you don't have a TiVo then what?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] chefffe:
Allshare also works with my Series 6 TV really good (bought mid 2009). Allshare also provides volume control to the TV, but can of course not replace the big announced Remote control.

Really bad s**t what Samsung is doing here ...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] xfox:
i saw the remote app in the presentation but was down when i didnt find it on my phone!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] scotolsen:
android market

now i'm not sure if this is only because i'm in the US store or because i have a Vibrant, but if you search for Samsung Vibrant in the market two apps show up: Desk Home Samsung Vibrant and Car Home Samsung Vibrant. these may be what you're looking for, if you can't find them i'll try posting the apk's/screenshots.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Beards:
Apart from the fact this is a hardware T-Mobile Galaxy S phone I could not find anything remotely similar to 'Samsung Vibrant' as a software app.

If you could please post a direct link that would be helpful.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] terrorblind:
just an FYI

I just had a chat with samsung support who told me that the car-home desk-home and the remote will be availeble with Android 2.2..

I know its in Danish

Here it is if you want to google translate it into you local language

ME

ved du hvor jeg kan finde funktionerne car-home desk-home og fjernbetjenings app'en

SUPPORT

de bliver desværre først implementeret med android 2.2

SUPPORT

Måske kan man være finde dem over markedet, men det kan jeg ikke hjælpe med desværre.

ME:

nej der er fjernbetjeningen kun tilgænglig til 8500 og 8500L og filerne er .app og ikke .apk til android

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Tachikoma_kun:
Thanks Terror!

I don't suppose he gave any indication of when Samsung will launch 2.2 for the Galaxy S?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] terrorblind:

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Tachikoma_kun:

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Beards:
How can you believe his strength in being accurate when he's saying maybe it's already on the market?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Tachikoma_kun:

Fair play I didn't bother translating it so missed that bit, yeah if that's the case then I am not holding my breath.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] terrorblind:
LOL

yeah well :) i too doubt the Samsung support, i got several cases going on with the support.. they tend not to to get back you, when they say so... so Beards, im still waiting for my first accurat answer from Samsung :) but any who, ill keep you guys posted ;)

This is now gone past irritating..... I can't pick what annoys me the most!

The fact these two Apps were first introduced on the Galaxy S's web presentation pages and have yet to materialize or the fact Samsung can not understand the problem.

With that I rang support yesterday and their answer was to perform a 'Factory Reset'.

I nearly blew a gasket... After several attempts in trying to inform this hapless fool in why I do not need to carry out such a task the reply was a simple and calm... can you call back later.

So if anyone finds these Apps it will be interesting to see if they work on the SGS.

"This is what I'm running, but you need to try everything"

For sense run fresh rom or dc

And flash the oc kernel on top
[Hero CDMA General] cp0020:
ive tried all of the custom sense roms and i find this one to be the best. with this kernel OC to 710. its the fastest on my phone. and you can get live wallpapers from here.

Well if you like stability, and your gps and accelorometer to work properly. Ie you want to be able to use geocaching programs, and exercising programs like cardiotrainer then I would choose a rom based of of the official stock rom like fresh

[EVO 4G General] papaskispartan:
My wife and I both have an Evo. We use the same google account on both phones. I rooted them both and bascially "ghosted" them, so whenever I flash a new rom and set it up the way we like it, I just do it to the other one. So besides our background and different cases, the phone mirror each other.

Anyway like I was saying, I had both phones in front of me. I decided to download an app that I would want on my phone, and just when I hit install, my wife's evo started downloading it too. I updated a few apps on mine, and it auto updated hers

I just find that to be awesome!!! Saves me time!
[EVO 4G General] Pops_G:
Sounds pretty neat. I have a few questions, because I am going to be getting my GF an Android phone soon.

1) How do you handle emails? Do you guys see each others email?

2) You share all contacts? Is that useful? I talk to a lot of people she doesn't and vice versa.

3) Latitude. How do you track her position to make sure she is where she says she is? How does it know which phone to take the location from? ;)

4) If you buy an app on one phone for $, does it load on both?
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
Haha, too funny. I wonder what google would say about that...

If your phone suddenly starts downloading a Fabio calendar you must let us know :)
[EVO 4G General] papaskispartan:
Well, depending how open or trusting your relationship :)

First here are the reasons why we do it. It is easier for my wife and I to see our calendar.

There is no PC app that allows me to sync two google calendars with outlook. I do have the google app that does sync, but at the moment it can only sync one google account calendar. Another thing is when I purchase apps, they will be on her Evo too.

Here are the answer to your questions

1.Our primary e-mail is our gmail account, so we we have it on our phones. WHere it is different is why we both have our seperate POP e-mails with comcast. I have my own papaskispartan@comcast.net, and she has her own comcast email

2.Yes we do. we see eachother's friends on our contacts which we dont mind. Because we guys dont share the same friends, then this may not be the right choice.

3. THat is where we have an issue, havent gotten a chance to play with Lat too much. We want to try to figure it out, where she could find me, and I could find her. Not sure how to mess with that.

4. Answered above. Yes When I buy an app, it automatically downloads to hers once I purchase it.

Hope this helps!
