SamSUCK

I really can't believe this. This is ****ing ridiculous! I'm mad for you guys. So glad I exchanged my Vibrant for a MyTouch 4G. I can't believe Google would contract a company like SamSUCK to make a dev phone for them. Why couldn't they stick with HTC. They make good solid hardware, they actually support the devices they make.

I fell in love with the Vibrant at first (due to the screen of course) but I just couldn't take the GPS problems, the lag, retarded file system, lack of Froyo, TouchWiz, no front facing camera, no flash, no LED indicator lights, cheap plastic build. I should have known better but I absoutely loved that screen and even my iPhone 4 friends were impressed.

I just couldn't take it anymore. My friend introduced me to this forum, installed ROMs for me which were bug filled, MMS didnt work right on some of them, the pics came in blurry, the GPS was still not good, etc. It was hard for me to do but I took a deep breath and said, F*CK YOU SAMSUCK! Seeing a friends unrooted MT4G getting 1900+ on Quadrant was the last straw. I really tried so hard to like my phone but it was time to give up on SamSUCK. They just don't support their hardware. If you want an Android device, stick with HTC or a phone that runs simply stock. Lesson learned. Samsuck always falls short. Look at the Nexus S. No microSD, no HD recording, no HSPA+. Is this what Google calls revolutionary?? What are you ****ing kidding me?? Typical SamSUCK. HTC would have never done some **** like that. FAIL
[Vibrant General] Zylograth:
Buying a Nexus S is basically doing what they want you to, it is made by Samsung and works on T-Mobile. So either way they got your money LOL.
[Vibrant General] YatimaMeiji:
I would recommend a custom rom if only we would finally have an official(and by official I mean from Tmo, and by Tmo I mean the ota update) base to work from. These 2.2 roms are based off of leaks, and to make things worse, there are more then one leak. But then I just went back to stock as I was showing symptoms of ORD lol
[Vibrant General] falafelfro:
I have tried out most of the Froyo roms for the Vibrant, and some of them are very fast and stable, but ALL of them have various sacrifices in features or performance. For example, Axura's rom, which I found to be the fastest and most stable, didn't provide the touch to focus feature in the camera app.

We shouldn't simply resign ourselves to getting unofficial and unsupported Froyo roms through unofficial channels. The main reason our discontent has fallen on deaf ears is because we have failed to organize and make our discontent known through more mainstream channels. Samsung can relax knowing that only the "geek-o-sphere" is upset and others consumers don't know and therefore don't care. With a well organized petition, combined with press releases to mainstream media, we can make this issue too much of an inconvenience for them to simply ignore.

If Samsung's delay is due-to technical hurdles they are facing, then I agree we they should take the time they need to debug the software. However, we should expect better communication so that our expectations are at least aligned with reality. In the end, we will all vote with our pocketbooks, but we can do a better job of uniting to express our discontent, and doing so outside the walls of XDA or other techie forums.

We could even get Google on board by framing this as a more profound and important issue than a mere delay in software updates. Google's goal is to maximize marketshare of their Android platform, and they should start to question their decisions to use T-Mobile and Samsung as their medium to do so. Personally, I find it upsetting that Google would choose to release their flagship model on a hardware platform made by Samsung - a company that has demonstrated its ambivalence about post-sale satisfaction.Android's platform lives in a world of competition. The apple folks can claim they don't have these troubles with their iPhone platform and they'd be right. Apple gives their phones software updates the moment they are available.

I for one, am not willing to get stuffed up the rear by a big company simply because I'm too insignificant to be heard. Let's unite, rather than saying nobody cares.
[Vibrant General] velocd:
Im guessing you haven't tried any of the custom roms yet then? Nero and Macnut and the Gingerbread clone are fantastic and very stable. There is also the JL4 that just leaked which has been reported as stable. Waiting for froyo to be released by samsung and tmo is a bad strategy. It's out there already.
[Vibrant General] YatimaMeiji:
Then you didnt read all of my post as a sufferer of ORD, I've tried and played with every rom and kernel out there. I just got tired of it all. I'm not saying they aren't great roms, I'm just saying I've found inner peace by sticking with stock.

btw isnt it up to JL4 now? I'm losing count! lol
[Vibrant General] stealthj:
i want to do this too! too bad i dont have T-mobile :(
[Vibrant General] pdefazio:
Pause

What seems to be lost in all of this wailing and gnashing of teeth is that the release pull ONLY affects the BELL VIBRANT. It has nothing to do with T-mobile's version.

A few things to contemplate:

1) The Bell Vibrant is actually a i9000. Very different from the US model.

2) The upgrade to 2.2 was being released through KIES.

3) Samsung is still distributing upgrades to Froyo for Galaxy S phones throughout much of the world.

I would put money on KIES being the problem in this case; or, perhaps, something Bell put on the phone is the culprit. We are seeing leak after leak of TMO US firmware upgrades to 2.2. They are obviously working on it. It will come soon.

Im with you buddy. Right now I just need something to work . And after bad experiences with eugenes rom after a couple of days of use. TW roms usually last a lot longer, but Im tired of constantly flashing. This time of the year is extremely busy for me, and I have to be able to count on my phone. Even my best rom use to date with jl6 is starting to run sluggish. After that I tried the eugene super io, and now its going down hill.

don't Care

i love having the custom roms and until the s2 comes out there is nothing out there that is as good as this phone with the custom rom (support all the devs):D
[Vibrant General] pwood40:
If you look on samsung website for the vibrant; it has always, from day one, said capable of upgradIng to 2.2.
[Vibrant General] Dougefresh91:
Another froyo delay. Is it that time of the month already?
[Vibrant General] princejb134:
if i knew how to program i would so help these developers

and help out with the custom roms
[Vibrant General] Kwaii49:
Honestly, once I saw they already been working on gingerbread that kind of clue'd me in. Then the nexus s came out. Its been 5 months since the vibrant came out, no froyo(for the majority) and they just happen to put gingerbread on the nexus s actually giving it everything the vibrant should have had? Yea XDA is my second home now.

X2 fuk samsung...i am already on 2.2.1 so they can kiss my ass

Vibrant + Heathen's 2.2.1 <3
[Vibrant General] EvilMonito13:
I'm about patient as patient gets, but I'm kinda getting sick of the wait myself. I know I can flash yet another unofficial version of Froyo if I choose to, and most of you change ROMS like you change your socks... That's awesome. Good for you. I'm just not comfortable enough with my tech skills to do so... I wasn't told I'd have to be when I gave them my money. I paid a first rate price for a device that gets second rate support... if even that. This device has so much potential, and despite that, continues to fall further and further behind by the day. I've even started discouraging my friends and family from getting this phone. I love my Vibrant, but it can be so much better than it is at the moment. Yeah, I know an 'official' version of Froyo isn't the end all solution to all the kinks and bugs that need to be worked out, but it's a BIG next step... even with an official Froyo release, we're still a step behind. It's a shame that feet are being dragged, customers are unhappy, questions and concerns aren't being addressed, and accountability is not being taken. I don't feel like I'm getting what my money paid for... but dat's my shiiiiiiii! -j
[Vibrant General] ibnturab:
You know that your customer support sucks when the mytouch 3g gets froyo before you do. LOL. Say what you will about htc, one thing is for sure, they do support their devices, even the crappy ones.
[Vibrant General] edward099:
You installed 2.2 using the kies from your pc? Its a pain for me cause I cant even sync them. Good for you
[Vibrant General] brian_v3ntura:
the MT3g froyo update is still a very MINOR update as it is a low-end android phone these days. it lacks the needed hardware to even support JIT well enough and other performance enhancements in froyo. plus the mt3g is stock android.

AND the froyo update was pulled from Bell's Vibrant(which is essentially more of an AT&T captivate)

AND according to supercurio and his internal source, samsung has been working on 2.3 for months,but this can just be taken as just a rumor,but highly likely.

i suggest you do your research before ranting
[Vibrant General] PePPaZ:
What are you going on about? How is it a minor update, its the same Froyo as everyone else with the addition of custom T-Mobile stuff. The myTouch meets the minimum requirements for Froyo, thats why there was an official update. Why defend Samsung so vigilantly, I have a Vibrant AND a myTouch, and HTC just has their stuff together way better than Samsung in terms of updates and support. Samsung is one of the biggest companies in the world, and I bet their downfall for the Galaxy S line will be their insistence on using their own RFS file system. If I sold 4 million + phones I would be damn sure that they stay updated and current. If Team Whiskey can do major releases of Froyo with only VERY minor bugs, there is no excuse for Samsung, end of story
[Vibrant General] brian_v3ntura:
i didnt say i was defending the vibrant, its just the froyo update is very minor compared to froyo for higher end phones. the mytouch3g lacks the needed hardware for the performance tweaks thats was implemented in froyo.

and its easy for TW to release roms because its UNOFFICIAL and UPDATES CONSTANTLY. it takes money and resources to distribute updates to the masses in a way thats not harmful to the average consumer. and its not 100% samsungs fault that there is no official froyo for the TMO-US Vibrant as tmobile handles a part of testing and tweaking. END OF STORY please do your research. did your mother ever tell you to think before your speak.

AND please take that stupid pic out of your signature. Quadrant Standard scores does not mean a thing, its all about user experience and oclf's ext2 loop back is NOT more stable and faster compared to voodoo's ext4 conversion. It's already been proven that OCLF uses an exploit that gives the i/o test a much higher score which is why i use quadrant ADVANCED to break down the details
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
FroYo isn't about performance. If the phone doesn't perform that great on Eclair/Donut, you probably don't want the device period - FroYo or not.

FroYo brings some needed software updates for some. Flash, C2DM, the ability to run applications that simply will not run on these phones with Eclair, or point blank require FroYo. Updated Google Apps require FroYo as well...

FroYo is more important for the software and service improvements than the JIT compiler. If Eclair performs decently on the phone, then the JIT is just icing on the cake. It's not that big of a factor, and it's not much of a game changer, IMO.

There are too many quality of life enhancements in FroYo. Having a modern phone, and having SammyT-Mo drag their feet is ridiculously bad.

They guaranteed FroYo before the phones were even released, and we're still waiting almost half a year after we got the phones for an update.

How long did it take Moto and HTC to get FroYo out to their Flagships (Evo, Droid X)?

[Epic 4G Android Development] hayabusa1300cc:
If you are referring to what I posted, it was source code

For the Nexus S kernel Android version 2.3

And yes, pretty cute we have available source code for a new

OS before we seen a piece from any Android 2.2 source code for our Epic :-P
[Epic 4G Android Development] sprice5:
Now for the million dollar question. What are you predictions for a working 2.3 rom for our Epics?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mylasthope:
Slow down, Sprice. Gotta get 2.2 first. ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayabusa1300cc:
I think the million dollar question is what are the predictions for an official 2.2

rom for our Epics? jk but I think after samsung and sprint gets ahold of it first.

Otherwise it would be another AOSP like cyanogen.
[Epic 4G Android Development] decalex:
I've got a related (and hopefully not stupid) question regarding the process.

So, I know we're waiting for the 2.2 kernel source for our epics, obviously.

Generally, what's the process in between Google dropping a version's source, and it being released (by samsung) to us? This is not a complaint-- I'm really just curious how it works.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayabusa1300cc:
I know someone can explain better than I can.

Google drops the stock rom. This wont run on our phones without drivers, and support for specific hardware for our device. Then you have Sprint carrier modifications like VVM, ota updates, 4G and other configured apps. After all the work is done, developers can go back and modify things to their liking.

Otherwise you would have a from the ground up like CM,

where its a lot of trial and error, getting the ROM to support hardware/software.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ddpacino:
I'm no developer or expert, but i'd give it a week or two before we see a slew of ROMs, maybe less. Its great that Cyanogen has 4G working on the Evo, so cant wait for 4G-enabled CM6/7 for our Epics. As for an official 2.3 update from Samsung.... March is my earliest guess :mad:

I'd say we get official 2.2 updates in a few weeks. The leak is out, so they are probably just cleaning it up for release. The plain-jane (no custom ROM) leak works flawlessly on my phone tho.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bigdbag:
At this point Noobnl is going to deliver faster than Samsung is on the Froyo. He's got CM pretty much done it seems. Whenever Cyanogen's done with gingerbread source for CM7(im presuming) noobnl will hopefully start on that as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bryanfritz1:
I bet that the hardware drivers for 2.2 will work with 2.3, sounds like 2.2 to 2.3 is a lot less of a change than 2.1 to 2.2, but I could be wrong.

[Epic 4G Android Development] dannyzen:
For Samsung it's more rational for them to use their dev's time to spend on making new working firmware for new devices that are debuting at CES and to ready the firmware for those devices.

Samsung's strategy has changed over the years and is now executing the mantra "first out the door with new technology." While this is great for those of us who like new toys, it's a set back when we want long term support for our new toys. If their R&D resources are tied up working out new firmware for the next gen, they lose focus on their current customers.

If you've kept up on the latest engadget, gizmodo, boy genius, etc etc news - you'll know there's a dual core super duper galaxy whatever chip coming out soon. That's where the resources are now. For a company that has been lagging behind in innovation for the last few years in the mobile area, this is their new direction... Innovate quickly and be the first to market. Support resources are but a second thought; overhead.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-...uct-crisis-as-choi-tries-to-triple-sales.html might give you a better perspective of the company.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KillerFu:
So if I am reading this right....

Once we have CM6 running on our epics it will be a lot easier for us to get Gingerbread installed; for that matter any new verisions?

[Epic 4G Android Development] gophergun:
Should be. That way we have a good AOSP base to work off of.

So I know this may be the wrong place for this, but how is it that Google releases the SC to 2.3 today, Sprint pushes an official 2.2 release to the Intercept, yet we still have an F-ing beta release of 2.2 for the Epic? Does anyone else find this whole picture FUBAR? :confused:

Hey everyone,

Throughout the last couple of months I've been reading a lot of touch screen stop working after a while.

Maybe we can all work together and figure out the cause.

So far i notice, people using hardware keys could cause touch screen to stop working, temperature change could cause issue, some people stated andriod could cause issues.

Just a couple of ideas.

[HD2 General] kashifsiddique:
We'll my screen became unresponive when I turned it on with the end call button out of the blue one day, the touch did work with all the other keys though. However, within a week after that, none of the buttons made the touchscreen responsive again.

I just got my phone back yesterday from HTC warranty's repair center and they replaced the screen and the hardware keys.

However, now I can't seem to charge the phone correctly unless i apply pressure to the micro usb cable when it is plugged in the phone. If I just plug it in and leave it alone, it won't charge or connect to the computer. Not sure if it's the USB Cable or the phone, I have to buy another micro usb cable to test if it's the cable, else, it has to go back to htc again and I won't see it until a few weeks :(
