Funny thing is I had an interview with Samsung few days ago and got a chance to play with the Galaxy Tab. My thoughts were that it is was very buggy and just a big galaxy s phone, it literally serve no purpose in my book.
[Vibrant General] phillipxenxciel:
i call shenanigans
[Vibrant General] IDtheTarget:
A couple of weeks ago this would have upset me. Then I learned about the terrific developers here at XDA who are supporting the Vibrant, like eugene373 and sombionix.

They've cooked up some amazing ROMs that have really made the phone worthwhile again, and are committed to providing Froyo when it becomes available. I like their ROMs so much that i will probably forgo the official OTA update and wait until these guys have fixed it to where it should be.

The difference between these guys and Samsung's developers appear to be that xda developers actually own and use their phones, and are personally interested in getting the most from them, as opposed to just getting a paycheck. So their work is first-rate.

So, you can continue to stress out, or you can mosey on over to the Android Development section of the Vibrant forum and decide which ROM works best for you. I personally am enjoying the Bionix 1.5 at the current time, but your mileage may vary.
[Vibrant General] ookas:
that's weird, mine did too... IT MUST BE TRUE!
[Vibrant General] neok44:
lets see, t-mobile says that we'll see info on the samsung update later this week. and AT&T already got the update.

Also a leaked AT&T Captivate 2.2 final rom just got posted on XDA.

I'm calling bull**** along with everyone else. your friend dosn't know what he's talking about.

And until i hear it from T-Mo i believe samsung. GPS fix within this month. froyo by the end of the year.

And regardless, i'm sure that some of the great devs here can work their magic on the captivate rom and get it working on the vibrant
[Vibrant General] natecglenn:
Boner off this is legit. He just made an account on the 18th of september and only 10 posts so cmon does he really have friends in high places. If so he would have more info on tmobile stuff besides a update. How about you ask your friend when uma is coming to android. Le me guess the end of 2011
[Vibrant General] bobofosho123:
If the OP is right I'm thinkin' angry mob, torches, burning samsung execs in effigy, the whole nine yards. Maybe if we're lucky we can start a hostage situation and get sammy to dev and release froyo at light speed, they wouldn't wanna lose their CEO now would they (or would they?) :rolleyes: Hehehehe *laughs meniacally* :p
[Vibrant General] reddragon72:
Wish I had a nickel for every time someones friend had some info they heard from Fred Flintstone.

Mid to late October GPS fix and Mid November Froyo update. There have been internal docs showing this from Samsung and that is for all SGS phones. Please stop releasing all these "my friends, uncles cousin who knows Chinese heard some security guard outside Mcdonalds in china talking about it."

Not bashing, but dang people come on, stop all the odd rumors that are clearly not any where near the truth.

lol
[Vibrant General] chronos7:
This is BS...the thing is I don't know why people come on here with lies and false information...

[Vibrant General] NoDataFound:
This little stunt has already been pulled. By me. Search my threads and there is a "froyo cancelled" thread. Basically to prove a point.
[Vibrant General] Tpavey:
We will know next week if this had any validity. If it does I'll likely be watching for the My Touch HD. T-mobile likes to support that line.
[Vibrant General] pdefazio:
The OP works for Verizon. Who wants to bet? :D
[Vibrant General] guardian855:
You're assuming this guy even has friends.
[Vibrant General] krylon360:
^^ haha awesome,

Either way, I call BS along with everyone else on here. 1 reason.

If your "so called friend" works in the "so called dept for TMo Corp" then he would have signed a NDA when he 1st started working there.

Do you know what a NDA is? It's a Non-Disclosure Agreement, which means he is NOT ALLOWED to discuss ANYTHING he does in regards to he job. If he does, then legal actions can be brought against him.

So BS!
[Vibrant General] livinloud11:

OP is gay and he has no friends, and this post is BS.
[Vibrant General] spacecasespiff:
My bad the guy was from samsung
[Vibrant General] rudeguy:
Right. Why do people keep on posting 3rd hand information as something groundbreaking?

Here's my prediction:

The OP's "friend" is some other basement dweller who read the info on some random forum.

I have read enough of these threads to be completely sick. The last one was a guy who's "friend" had a Verizon iPhone.

Just STFU and admit that you don't know jack.

[Vibrant General] N8ter:
NDAs, I'm sure, have stopped many people from leaking information.

Seriously, why did you even go there.

Lol...

In any case, I've already basically given up on this phone. It's not worth the plastic case they used for it, as far as I'm concerned.

Already paid my 2 ETFs to T-Mobile, so I'm ready to move to another carrier whenever I please.

[Vibrant General] rudeguy:
I'm still loving Tmo...I just can't wait to ditch my Vibrant. I haven't gotten a chance to physically attempt to return my Vibrant yet. I plan on doing that tomorrow. I don't have a contract either.
[Vibrant General] flashfox:
Quite honestly, I don't really care if Froyo comes next week or next year... but I do want them to fix the GPS!

Essentially, if it wasn't for the messed-up GPS, I am pretty happy with my Vibrant even if it's "limited" to 2.1. After all, XDA (CyanogenMod, etc.) will offer a flavor of 2.2 ;-)
[Vibrant General] grennis:
The gps fix and other updates are all being rolled into one update.

ETA mid october but the next rom leak will be froyo so we will have it then.
[Vibrant General] presence06:
I don't trust OP. He keeps referring to his "Friend" that told him all this. I keep hearing Mid-Oct for fix/Froyo(possibly) so I'm gunna say this 2011 is BS.
[Vibrant General] spacecasespiff:
You guy are just plain stupid. Giving up on a great phone because you can't get what you want when you want it. Don't believe what you read until tmo and samsung tells you exactly when the updates will come out. It will not get released untill its done. The facanate did not get 2.2. Its not an affical release. Did att do ota ? No they did not. Just wait and be patient. Yes it all should have been fixed by now, but its not. I'm more then happy waiting for the gps fix to be done right. Releasing it early with bugs would be a bad idea especially with you people. Want it done right you have to wait. I don't know what it takes to do an update and what goes into one. I don't think its easy.
[Vibrant General] presence06:
If the video that's on Engadet of a preview of Fryo on the Capivate, with no Android KEyboard, I don't want. I hate swype (just me?) I love the Android keyboard. I hope it's not really gone..
[Vibrant General] dbm0361:
Why would you be a ass if they just got a leak on a us carrier for the galaxy I would say our odds are very good
[Vibrant General] rudeguy:
Because you posted information like you knew something but you didn't. You speculated. Crap posts like that have cluttered up enough of this forum. If we were to rely on this place to let us know if Froyo does hit, we'd have to sift through at least 1,000 posts like yours.

In other words: Don't post rumors. Just post facts. Its not that hard of a concept.
[Vibrant General] presence06:
This. True. Too many posts like this. News IMO is okay. But not to say "It's this date, or "I heard it from a friend of a friend"

STFU.
[Vibrant General] dbm0361:
Ok I never have gave a date or said I heard it from someone I was commenting on att just got it and I don't think we are far behind so stop being a tard...go to the captivate forums and read ... You should go get a windows phone might set with you better rofl

Guys,

this is what xda-developers to be for.

Hack the phone hell out and you can get froyo if you want!

You can also get the source code for the ROM, what more do you want?
[Vibrant General] Thegreatheed:
They want to cry and complain and troll. If they were on these forums for legitimate reasons, they would have a gps fix and lag fix installed, at bare minimum. But they aren't serious posters, they are trolls. Their only reason to be here is to either annoy others or to act self important as a means to prop up their non existant self confidence.

[Vibrant General] RoyLoo:
I'm not sure why all the vitriol regarding the Vibrant. Mine works just fine and I love it, even without froyo. Does anyone really know what the real benefit to Vibrant users froyo will be? Really? As for the GPS issue, ok it's not great, but it works well enough for the rare occasions I need it. Even with that, it's not enough to make me dump an otherwise fantastic device. I'm starting to believe the hotheads are indeed trolls. If not, they should be!

I just installed FRoyo....2.2.1......on my G1!

I feel like crying. Been running Froyo on my G1 now for months. 1/2 processing power, 1/2 RAM...but boy it works!

Hang in there guys!.Someday we'll all look back when we have Froyo on the Vibrant! Be strong!
[Vibrant General] 305buddyluv:
You can file this under that same crap dell is doing with the US version of the streak. Our Euro brothers have Froyo for over a month, we don't. I think am gonna sell my vibrant and go with the G2. WTF is up with Media Hub? Why does the epic 4G has it, and all other galaxy s devices don't?

[Vibrant General] kolyan:
the sad thing is that now they are pushing JI6 update.........i am pretty sure we will not see Froyo any time soon(by soon i mean 2-3 weeks maybe more). I doesnt really make sense to release an update and a week or two later push Froyo.....

I always thought Tmo was delaying the update because they wanted ALL-IN-ONE update (all fixes and Froyo)......i guess i was wrong.
[Vibrant General] willsnews:
Gps fix late october samsung media hub coming with it so says the t mobile facebook page

The guy on the couch
[Vibrant General] lexluthor:
2-3 weeks is very optimistic (unrealistic) for Froyo. They have said that this update will be delivered in waves and that all users should have it by the end of October.

I'd say that completely rules out Froyo for October.
[Vibrant General] kolyan:
yeah. i see it now. i wouldnt be surprised if Froyo will be up for Christmas or later....

to me this is just WOW.....first they promised late September update, then ATT gets Froyo leak, and we get pushed back month by month.....

is it that hard to keep a simple promise like Motorola did with Droid X ?
[Vibrant General] spiz516:
Stop posting here if you have no clue about the actual release of any updates. That goes for nearly everyone in this thread.

You can speculate all you want, but at least do it intelligently...

The GPS fix OTA has started today and will finish by the end of October (according to Samsung and TMobile via Twitter).

So using common sense, Froyo can't possibly come to us OTA at least until the beginning of November. While highly unlikely, that is the very earliest we can see Froyo on the Vibrant.

This thread is fail btw...
[Vibrant General] kolyan:
the funny thing is that November/December area is when Gingerbread is coming out and Froyo will be history.

didnt want to say it, but most likely will switch back to Nexus. without SAMOLED and water damage, it still gets better battery life then my Vibrant
[Vibrant General] spiz516:
If I had an N1 to switch back to, I'd probably do the same. I'll be getting rid of this POS as soon as something worthwhile comes out.
[Vibrant General] tpreludesh:
well, the current ota that is rolling out pretty much discredits your friend OP. the roll-out will be finished before the end of the month, and froyo will be before year's end as promised by Samsung via twitter
[Vibrant General] kolyan:
That might be true, but now i know that you cant trust Samsung.

and why the hell does it take ONE month to roll out the update.....it took less then a week on Nexus phones.
[Vibrant General] :
This thread should be deleted. Tour friend obnoxiously doesn't have a clue as to what he's taking about, seeing that t mobile started sending out the JI6 update OTA today. And to my knowledge it is not november! Everyone should stop with this he said, she said bull. Don't say something unless you yourself heard it from a should reliable source!
[Vibrant General] tjhart85:
The fact that it doesn't have a SAMOLED screen is one of the reasons that the battery life is better.....not to mention Froyo itself added quite a bit from what I've seen online.

Because Tmobile said that it will. Maybe it will only take a week, but TMO has allocated a month for it, probably so people like you won't whine to them that it showed up a day later than they promised. Samsung delivered on their promise.....only a week late. Truthfully, that's not bad at all.
[Vibrant General] kolyan:
i thought SAMOLED has better battery life then AMOLED..............
[Vibrant General] tpreludesh:
compared to the N1, there are more vibrants around because they were sold in store. it may take up to that long to roll it out, but it also may go faster. I personally have not received my update, but my wife did this morning. just be patient and you will get it in good time, and then it will be a short wait to receive froyo.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
In all seriousness, this update is about as useless as it can be. This phone has caused me to change the way I use smartphones, due to its bugs. No more latitude. No more Geotagged Twitter/Facebook posts. Deleted my Foursquares account. I've started lugging around my laptop a LOT more now because the lag is incredible, the Gallery app sucks.

The GPS on my HD2 works, but that phone overheats and reboots+freezes often when I use it off of WiFi (have to send it in to HTC to get it fixed, I'm sure it's a hardware issue). I'm regretting getting this phone over a netbook and a Skype Subscription, TBQFH.

FroYo, Flash 10.1, C2DM, AIR compatibility, etc. mean much more to me than their 10 point performance improvement in Quadrant and probably chucked GPS update at this point in time.

And it's not my fault, it's theirs.

Phone should not have been released with so many bugs [and showstoppers].

Most people who come from WinMo know how much of an inconvenience it was when Microsoft released 6.5 and features were exclusive to it - they were forced to backport some stuff back to 6.0/6.1 and in some cases even back to 5.0. Being locked out of stuff that is needed (not wanted, needed) because the manufacturer is dragging their feet to released a [rather old, by Android standards] update is a severe hinderence.

And good luck selling these phones on eBay/CL. Anyone with a computer has read of the issues with this phone/Samsung's trackrecord and will not want it. I had more emails for my HTC Aria than my Vibrant, and I put them up at the same price. Someone brought it to unlock it and use it on T-Mobile's network, Lol!
[Vibrant General] mjpacheco:
This thread is official a fail, along with OP, given today's events. Have a good day, all.
[Vibrant General] chaoscentral:
Should change your user name to H8ter. I have no such problems with this phone. Have you tried one of the wonderful custom ROMs out there? If not then why are you on XDA.

GPS has been spot on for me since the JI2 leak, and works perfectly fine and I get a lock on about 8 sattelites in about 5 seconds.

[Vibrant General] agentscuba314:
Really? You guys are as cruel as school children. But anyways the Vibrant is a decent starter device and the first android phone on TMO with a decent size scream. I'm a little upset myself that it has taken so long for them to deliver a official froyo update to our phones that was promised a while ago. But the custom roms are awesome, and allowed for froyo to be installed on the phones. Me personally I will stick with the device until the tegra 2 wave hits the market.i
[Vibrant General] samnada:
I actually prefer the vibrate setting to avoid annoying others, but to each his own. :)
[Vibrant General] tweak89:
Not to pick on this particular poster, but this "Put a custom ROM on it!!" is always the fallback for the Vibrant's shortcomings. While no phone is perfect, you shouldn't have to rely on custom ROMS to make a phone work like advertised. It's nice that they are out there, but people who hack their phones are a tiny minority (applies to any phone).

I have a love/hate feeling for the Vibrant. When it all works, it's a fantastic phone. But, that has rarely been the case for me. That being said, I still am having a hard time being able to justify a switch to the G2 or MT4G (T-mobile has offered me full upgrade discounts on both as I am on my 5th Vibrant). I think how Samsung handles the Froyo update (how much longer we will have to wait) will be the deciding factor in keeping the phone. I mean, c'mon, the original Mytouch is getting Froyo before we are!!!
[Vibrant General] Dammit2Hell:

So, by your logic (and that of many on this board) you should only be here if you are interested in modding your phone??

What about those of us who like to keep up to date on the latest phone tech, apps, news. Find out if the problems we have on our phones are isolated or shared by others?

I have no problem modding things (my Dash and G1 were rooted and customized-for fun and not to fix any issues), heck my Wii and PS3 are also hacked. But, that doesn't mean I want to do it with my current phone. Regardless of why YOU or anyone else is here, my point is still that a phone SHOULD work as advertised WITHOUT the NEED for modifications by the user. That you CAN do it is fine and dandy, but WE shouldn't have to fix what shouldn't have been broken!
