[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
I've run into a bug with the new youtube app. If you have a video loading and let the screen come off. After unlocking it, the video lags a lot doesnt respond to touches. You can exit out of the app but then the audio of the video doesnt stop playing. No choice but to restart the phone. This happened to me twice this morning.

Do you guys think this is a bug with the youtube app or maybe the Desire HD because i recall the preintalled youtube app had a major bug as well on the DHD.

[Epic 4G General] styckx:
If this is true, and followed through it will restore my faith in Samsung.
[Epic 4G General] OShocke:
Just a rumor.... but makes sense.
[Epic 4G General] shook187:
On second thought. Why would samsung OTA us to 2.3, by doing so that would make the Nexus S just another Vibrant over at T-Mobile.
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
My understanding is that the Nexus S (like the Nexus One) is a stripped down, super-phone, demonstration of new technology and in this case the most notable difference would be the form factor and the NFC. I think Sammy would face more backlash from consumers for ignoring hardware customers already paid for so as to make a new product with near-identical hardware better.
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
I would assume to have a 2.3 powerhouse phone on all major carriers for bragging and sales purposes. Would make a ton of sense.
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
That *would* make sense. Also, it would rock.
[Epic 4G General] globalninja:
Is the person who posted that credible?
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
From the article:

Personally, I'd never heard of him but I've requested to follow him on twitter. In the end we'll just have to wait and see but it would be nice. If this update were coming soon I think there would be some RCs floating around but seeing as we have Froyo ones and a 'near-official' OTA update that went to .4 phones its hard to know if we'll skip 2.2 and go right to 2.3. I want this to happen but the evidence I have right now would seem to go against this.
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
I honestly though don't care about gingerbread all that much. I'm planning to have this phone for awhile. It does everything I need with ease. Big difference from when I had the Moment and from day 1 felt the need to smash it into a wall because of how slow and laggy it was. I would hope samsung realizes this isn't a phone to cut ties with because it defintely has staying power even after it's superceded by something faster on paper but probably only marginably faster in real world use.
[Epic 4G General] BopChie:
if we skip straight to 2.3 I will start rescuing kittens!!!!
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
With how good samsung did with sales from all the galaxy s phones, i wouldnt be surprised that they would do this.. that would be so sweet to have gingerbread on epic and since its on the nexus s with samehardware screen and stats, makes sense they could upgrade all variants epic will definitly be the top of the line if it got gingerbread, but also i agree with the poster above about caring less as long as i have a good running phone with 2.2 ill be set til the dual core processors come out and another top of the line phone comes out for sprint next year or 2 years,
[Epic 4G General] globalninja:
I agree, its better to wait and see. I would rather not get myself excited only t be disappointed in the end. The best i could see out of this is samsung releasing gingerbread much earlier then any of us would expect. I don't know...lets just see.
[Epic 4G General] mxcoldhit:
I would have to agree with you. It would be nice, and it would increase following among sammy, but will it be released soon? At this point, possibly but not probably.
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
Indeed. I spent months reading about how my Mytouch was getting Eclair only to be let down every time. I will say that if they do leapfrog 2.2 and get my device up-to-android-date then when I buy my fiancee's new phone in about a month she'll be getting a Sammy device. Otherwise, I'm not going to get her a phone that's always out-of-date.
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
Now if we dont receive an update b4 january first for anything this might prove that we will have gingerbread later and prove that they skipped froyo.

I mean if they dont give us froyo b4 the end of the year like they promised, they could be working on gingerbread we shall see by the end of this month.
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
The only thing I am not looking forward to is the possible return of these forums turning into unreadable garbage of people trolling, fighting and starting multiple threads about when or why Gingerbread is/isn't on the epic.

This thread has been nice though.
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
i completly agree with you hopefully it doesnt get posted all over the place including the develpment thread, this was a nice find and read tho thanks OP!
[Epic 4G General] acegolfer:
What you are saying makes a lot of sense. Good post.
[Epic 4G General] shook187:
;-) np .... Hopefully we could keep most gingerbread talk here. After all, anything we hear to this point are only to be considered rumors.
[Epic 4G General] adamw1101:
How would you rate the transition of eclair to gingerbread compare to cupcake to eclair
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
I think 2.0/2.1 was the biggest jump in terms of "wow, this is totally different". 2.2 had more under the hood changes and less "in your face" changes with the exception of flash. 2.3 looks to be more refinement and polishing, which most point releases are. As of 2.2 they have an overall powerhouse os now that if for some reason they dropped code development all together would still thrive for a long time.
[Epic 4G General] jtw78:
You know what would prove we're getting GB? An OTA update on my phone right now. Until then it's just rumor - a fun rumor, no doubt, but just a rumor.
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
Indeed. But it never hurts to dream a little. :)
[Epic 4G General] lepapirriky:
And that's the problem, some times people just take rumors too serious, when in reality it could be someone just making things up to stir things arounds forums, because we all read those websites.

I really don't care for 2.3, because we all know samsung/sprint gotta do more than the others brothers since it has 4g and a kb, so hoping to be first for everything is nice but not real.
[Epic 4G General] Grogck:
This makes far too much sense to be true.

Either way though, I'm hoping/assuming the launch of the Nexus S will make unofficial Gingerbread (and later, Honeycomb) ports over to the other Galaxy class devices that much quicker and less buggy.
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
You're 100% right but as long as people can understand that the difference between speculation/hope/wishes and fact its alright. I personally don't put much stock in this rumor but I do hope it is true. If I get it, I'll be ecstatic and if I don't I'll be a little disappointed but I don't expect it to be true, I just hold a small glimmer of hope.
[Epic 4G General] flash_c4:
Gingerbread in time for Christmas... That would be a pretty slick marketing stunt if they pull it off but unfortunately I think we will probably be stuck with Fruitcake...
[Epic 4G General] knx2:
Man. I don't care about an update to a 600$ phone...*** FACE PALM ***

Just one question.. Are you ****ing retarted?

We shouldn't be saying. Nahhh I'm happy with the phone how it is and/or but samsung would struggle making it work.

NO.. **** that. We are the customer and we keep them in business. If it is too hard for samsung with their top selling device to keep it updated I will buy from someone who can update.
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
And so it begins
[Epic 4G General] itsmebryan:
Well, it was nice for a while. :)
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
All of the OEM's pretty much blow dog nutz at updating their devices. Complain all you want, but its no better on the LG, HTC, or Motorola side (Though moto may do just a bit better than most.)
[Epic 4G General] atriad:
I'm still stock with 2.1. Just got my epic less than a week ago. I'm sooo much happier than i was with my Touch Pro 2, now that I have my phone rooted for tethering and an RDP Application.

Should I really care about going to 2.2? and then 2.3? What next? 3.0? It's fast and snappy and pretty customizable..If we get official updates great, if not...what can we do...I know there'll be roms out there with 2.3 but I don't have the time to eff with my phone anymore...

although...are the Nexus S and Epic/Galaxy lines of phones almost the same thing or what?
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
They are pretty much the same thing except epic is cdma service and has a keyboard, and nexus s comes with gingerbread and is gsm service other then that they have the same hardware and feutures...
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
Also the Nexus S has a built in NFC chip!
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
Oh i didnt know that was new i thought it was a feuture in gingerbread didnt know it was a new added chip, ok well that reason too
[Epic 4G General] atriad:
and thats just for security systems that make use of NFC card or something or for use by other applications like bump to transfer data
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
Exactly so the differences are essentially cosmetic.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Nexus S has that sexy curved screen too.
[Epic 4G General] Isira:
There are a few key differences between the Nexus S and the Epic. Off the top of my head:

The Nexus S cannot record videos in 720P (records in 720x480), the Epic 4G can (1280x720).

The Nexus S does not have an LED notification light, the Epic 4G does.

The Nexus S does not have a SD card slot, the Epic 4G does.
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
Sorry to derail but do you know of a reason why the Nexus can't do 720p?
[Epic 4G General] jeremiah.rs:
http://www.google.com/nexus/#!/tech-specs
[Epic 4G General] atriad:
Well, even though I'm on Sprint and CDMA, It sounds like I got the better of the handsets.

More and more reasons to love my epic!
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
Yes me too i love my epic..
[Epic 4G General] Pito2k6:
On that site,it says "The rear-facing 5 megapixel camera is capable of taking stunning pictures and HD videos that you can share with friends and family".
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Once again it says 720 x 480 (480p)

Not 1280 x 720 (HD 720p)
[Epic 4G General] bobdude5:
That has to be a typo ...if you watch the videos posted from the nexus s on youtube you can change the quality to 720p..
[Epic 4G General] thematrixkid17:
Yeah, i'm sure that's a typo, somebody mixed up their horizontal with their vertical.
[Epic 4G General] Inferno4213:
For those of you who think we might skip straight to 2.3... it's not going to happen. We just got a leaked version of 2.2 so we are clearly getting Froyo in the meantime.

I'm not saying we won't get Gingerbread but we most certainly aren't skipping straight to it.
[Epic 4G General] Magic Oreo:
not just a leaked version of 2.2 but 2-3 of em.

chances of getting gingerbread and skipping froyo are slim to nothing.
[Epic 4G General] live2ride96:
As far as I'm concerned, Froyo is still a rumor until I have an OTA on my phone. So pretty soon, we'll be two OS versions behind. Fantastic. I'm growing quite frustrated with Samsung. A top of the line phone should be up to date. Otherwise, in my mind, it's not a top of the line phone. And we've been waiting almost 4 months for an OS version that was 2 months old when our phones were released. Hopefully, Sammy really wows me soon. Cause that's what it's gonna take to change my tune.
[Epic 4G General] haas599:
No notification light? Wtf?

Also, there is no mention of the Nexus S using gorilla glass.
[Epic 4G General] sndtubes:
At the rate they're goin' with FRoyo, the dang thing will be 5 years old before they get 2.3 ready for it.
[Epic 4G General] 1999TL:
that makes too much sense.
[Epic 4G General] crayak:
If a cdma version of the nexus s is released, well atleast be golden for a port to epic. It would most likely have very similar hardware
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
Probably because of the curved screen.
[Epic 4G General] arashed31:
The version of Android 2.3 Samsung made for the Nexus S is stock Android. Samsung is going to take an extra 2 months to put touchwiz on 2.3 and 2 months of carrier raping.

I'm purely speculating but I think the Epic will get a 2.2 (DLXX) by January. And Android 2.3 will be out by March (February for International/Unlocked versions)
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
Seems that way at the rate there going however samsung promised froyo b4 the end of the year like i said on a previous post, my guess if we dont get an official froyo updaye b4 January 1st, most likely be waiting more for gingerbread hopefully... No garantees just my opinion..
[Epic 4G General] hayabusa1300cc:
I agree. After four 2.2 builds, I think

It's a given we are getting froyo first.
[Epic 4G General] skeeterslint:
If this is a true dev phone then there will be no touchwiz or samsung bloat on it.Thats the whole point of a dev phone is to showcase googles software not sammy bloatware.
[Epic 4G General] byersbw:
So I haven't trolled around any of the galaxy s forums but does anyone know if any of the other US galaxy phones have froyo beta's out? Is the epic the only one? I'm hoping I'm wrong when I think that (IF) since the other galaxy phones haven't gotten froyo beta's that they may get GB and we'll be stuck on froyo for a while. That would really make me a very unhappy customer.
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
I know for a fact that there was a leaked froyo rom for the Captivate. Not sure about any others.
[Epic 4G General] skeeterslint:
I believe there is a leak for the vibrant also.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danerer:
I have a dumb question, and didn't seem to get a direct answer. I just recently started flashing new roms and using odin, but was curious about O/Cing. With the Fusion rom already flashed, do I just flash the Voodoo kernel or do I reflash the stock firmware and THEN flash the kernel followed by the rom? Or is there something I should or should not do in there, lol. Any input is appreciated, as I am relatively new to all this.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danerer:
Ok, so I read up and flashed the Project Core v2 kernel last night on the 1.2 Fusion rom and it ran perfectly and was super quick at 1200/200 on setcpu. Problem is today after rebooting, it will completely freeze every once in a while while doing something media-wise, such as watching youtube videos or playing Hyper Jump. I know I didn't flash the kernel or rom wrong, so is there something I am missing? I also have the OCLF installed, if that matters.

Tonight I am going to reflash them both to see if it works, but would like to see if there is something I can do before I get off work.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chalup:
The chips in our phones are not stable when over clocked.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brian_v3ntura:
you can just flash the voodoo kernel over fusion,but not all vibrants are capable of using voodoo. i.e. the vibrants with the larger nand chip does not support voodoo. if you do flash the voodoo kernel and your phone does not support, everything will still work just fine,but voodoo will not be enabled.

as for OCing..not all vibrants are capable of OC. it may run smooth at first,but some vibrants will start freezing up or slowing down. i found dragons kernel to work amazing or core 1.0ghz kernel
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danerer:
Alrighty, I may just drop the OC then. I just wasn't sure if it was me or not.

Thanks for the input guys!

I recently bought HTC Wildfire and found out the Maps and PDF Viewer apps are missing

couldn't find them on the market (found similar with different names but not the original Android apps)

Where and how can I find and install these apps?

contacting HTC support they told me "Kindly note that the provided serial number ” XXXXXXXXXX” states that your device is branded to Vodafone and the branded devices are using custom Rom"

I actually bought the phone from a store, I don't have Vodafone in my country

Don't see why we would go to froyo with gingerbread around the corner.

[Captivate General] stuff:
Of course you don't know that.

And what has kept me rofling with the xda community is their lack of hope. Before the Nexus S was announced, many people speculated it being real. A lot of folks kept saying "No, CEO of Google said no Nexus Two." Which is true, it's not a Nexus Two. It's a Nexus S. They just kept quoting Eric Schmidt and saying "see he said there will be no new device" etc. And it eventually happened.

So I wouldn't be in complete doubt about this. I'm not in high hopes either. But it wouldn't surprise me if Samsung was working on 2.3 this entire time.

And everyone says "it's at&T that is holding it back." Where was it ever even confirmed that at&T received the software from samsung and was "adding" in their bloat? I don't recall EVER seeing that.
[Captivate General] JiminSD:
It wouldn't make sense to me from a business point of view for Samsung to skip Froyo and push out Gingerbread while releasing a new product for a new client "Nexus", unless they are trying to boost image and make up for the GPS fiasco by doing the unexpected? Do you think Google would have anything to say for when Gingerbread gets released by Samsung?
[Captivate General] flucks:
But aren't there reports of the Epic getting Froyo?
[Captivate General] nephets0:

expecting samsung to develop gingerbread for the phones already released is kinda like playing russian roulette with a glock and expecting to win...

That depends on which theatre you're in. If you're in the eastern zones and you want a large, you can't get a Dr. Pepper. We will be selling a super-large Dr. Pepper shortly though. And unlike our previous offerings, it will have all the stuff you wanted in the "large" such as ice...and Dr. Pepper.

At least this one is marked as a [Rumor] rather than a "Wouldn't it be great....:)"
[Captivate General] skinien:
It wouldn't make any sense for the Galaxy S phones jumping from 2.1 to 2.3.

It's obvious that Samsung has already invested time and money on 2.2. For Samsung to now scratch the 2.2 release and go straight to 2.3 would mean they toss all of that work in the bucket. Only a company with a terrible business practices would do something like that... wait, we may be jumping straight to 2.3 after all. :p
[Captivate General] ryusen:
hey! there's still a chance it might jam and not fire .p
[Captivate General] ryusen:
While the odds are slim, i would not completely discount it. There's the possibility that since they have already been working on the new Nexus S they have come further along with 2.3 than 2.2. if i was Samsung, i'd have put more developers and money to toward 2.3 and the NS. If they are similar enough, they could port it and you now.. gain some customer satisfaction and possible repeat business.
[Captivate General] rye&ginger:
Nexus S is pretty much a Galaxy S, so a port might be quite easy.

Also 2.3 seems to be tailored towards power saving for AMOLED screens, with more dark elements, so again it might be easy.

Apple releasing OS updates for iOS for about 2 years has not seemed to hurt their sales much. Yes they are a different situation somewhat, but if Samsung wants to create a brand following with this S brand, they better show some customer loyalty before I show them any loyalty. Thats how Apple earned their following; they deliver at a high level to their customers.
[Captivate General] swedishcancerboi:
Ugh, how is it that people think just because Gingerbread came out, that all phone companies should be able to release it immediately? I mean, geez, it took months for anyone to put out Froyo. Maybe I'm wrong.....

To my understanding (correct me), Samsung makes phone while Eclair is in the wild. Samsung (obviously) codes phone to work with Eclair. Google releases Froyo. Samsung says "I want that" and has a 2nd team begin coding Froyo. Samsung can't just drop the months of work to produce Eclair and start all over, it would delay the phone. Samsung releases phone. Samsung releases update. Google releases Gingerbread. Samsung COULD start coding Gingerbread. But not until they get their hands on it.

I hate hearing people say "why can't we just skip to 2.3", or whatever. Things take time. I always thought that companies had to wait for Google to release the OS before they could start working on it (or do they get it earlier??). With that being said, how could Gingerbread be right around the corner? Froyo was released in May, Samsung released their update in what....September or Oct (I don't remember and don't wanna look it up).....it took at least 4 months of development. So, if Samsung were to release a Gingerbread update for Galaxy S, it won't happen until what.... April? Then of course it'll take another 2-3 months to reach the Captivate. So now it's July 2011.....and I'll be buying another phone by then. I remember hearing people during the Froyo launch complain that Samsung should just "wait for Gingerbread, it's right around the corner." Yeah, if you consider 6+ months "around the corner."

I mean, I hope I am missing something......I would love to see Samsung keep support fairly current for this phone. But there reaches a time when its no longer feasible.

Sorry if you actually read that.......just annoyed....

::end worthless rant::
[Captivate General] ldd2142:
This is what I think would happen, if anything...i see sammy doing the same thing that moto did with the cliq and backflip, integrating parts of 2.3 into 2.2... moto included jit in 2.1 for those users (used to be me) and it kind of quieted the noise

However, it would start some major fires in europe, so it probably won't happen.

And we probably won't get an official gingerbread either.
