You're right, they have no control over when the firmware comes out. But they have the exposure to the people who do. They can also make official statements about the state of development.

I think that if a hard date was set, and a promise was officially made it would help settle this issue a lot more.

If more detail was given as to the reason the release is so delayed, well that's even better.

We're not looking for a solution, we're looking for communication.
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
Nice second post, guy. Is there any possible way you didn't realize that the point was to flood them with complaints? Or that I don't really care if they respond? Or that I was just telling someone what I was seeing? Do you realize that at some point they'll have to tell their bosses about the uproar on twitter and facebook about not getting FroYo when they promised? Which will force them into making a statement?
[Epic 4G General] dannyzen:
This really represents a bigger picture problem:

Firmware support and updates.

If carriers and manufacturers put more resources into developing and supporting high end device firmware the devices might have less issues and more features. The device becomes an investment for the user and not something that is thrown away after a year or two for a new device. Maybe that IS what the carriers want? I'm not sure.

Imagine if Sprint took half of their marketing money for the 4g devices and put it into firmware development and support giving users a faster turn around.

Pie in the sky, but if customers kick and scream saying they want it, you never know what can materialize.

I tend to ignore the people calling for things like this and not respond to the posts here. I find it helps it die until the next person with the exact same idea pops up.

If someone really wanted to, they could search these and other forums and gather up all the people who have started these posts and organize something more official.

My advice to you is to let them do what they want and stop posting on their threads so they move away from the front page. They have every right to post what they feel here just as you do but when you continue to post negative comments, it just keeps the thread that annoys you alive.

Personally, I don't think complaining does anything with this company. The stock Moment had serious defects that they refused to address so I doubt they'll even consider listening to us about this when Eclair works "fine" with our phones. But it doesn't bother me so much to attack those who have "faith" in the system.
[Epic 4G General] dannyzen:
The point of companies having a social presence is two fold:

1- To market

2- To respond to customer inquiries

Can't hurt trying.

Flame away at us if it makes you feel nice.

Sprint and Samsungs support for one of their "flagship" phones has been abysmal... after paying a premium for the phone and "4g" service i expected much better. safe to say that when my contract comes up i will be thinking twice about going back to either

posted that on both fb sites. forgot to mention the epic by name but i dont' really think it matters
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
I don't mean to be rude, and please understand I am skeptical of everyone on the internet, but is there any way you can provide any evidence of this?
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
Then let them claim victory. Does it change the outcome by allowing people to falsely claim they had a hand in something? Does it harm you or your family personally? Did they gain financially from their efforts? Did they take money from your pocket?

If it helps people feel better about themselves, then let them feel good about something that has no affect on your life. As a matter of fact, perhaps by their feeling good about something they will take that day and make it more pleasant for those around them just by being happy and confident. I say that would be worth it to allow them their "victory", don't you?

I'm going to have to agree at this point that your posts are no longer a guy voicing his opinion. It seems that you are actually attempting to troll this thread now.

Hardware compatibility issues?

I just got off of both phone and internet chat with Samsung. Every time you ask "When is Froyo coming out?" They respond with the blanket "We are unable to speculate if/when..." thing. Then they say "Very Soon," which clarifies the "If" part. So I tried a different approach, basically asking them to clarify the issues plaguing the Froyo release. Both on the phone, and in their support chat, the conversation essentially went like this:

Me: "What's the holdup?"

Samsung: "Hardware compatibility issues."

Me: "What kind of hardware compatibility issues?"

Samsung: "Idunno"

Me: "Who does know?"

Samsung: "Idunno"

:(

Rarely, post here but just a thought.

Perhaps everyone should also add poor reviews on cnet.com, samsung.com, and others to lower their ratings. Might help to steer people away from galaxy S and might actually put a dent in their revenues. Well, enough to make them take action.
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
Please don't troll on this thread.

This is a good idea and one I've been considering. I have a few reviews out there I wrote shortly after I got the phone which represent an opinion I no longer have. Just deciding whether its worth it.
[Epic 4G General] user9991:
We could also be patient, as id rather wait for a less bugy os, then get a more buggy os now. Look at what happened with vista. It was rushed and it sucked.
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
You make an interesting point but there is a flaw: The issue with Vista was that the original build destined for launch was Longhorn which halfway into the development of Microsoft realized they had tried to do too much and rather than pushing the deadline decided to just meet it by making something completely subpar.

Android Frozen Yogurt 2.2.1 has no such issues. The reason it bricked phones in canada was because of the OTA system and not the update which is why it is now being released differently. There is something else going on here that needs to be communicated to the end-users.
[Epic 4G General] murso74:

[EVO 4G General] kwajr:
Don't remember the thread but a while back some guy here said the evo 2 would be out by the end of the year and everybody said he was stupid well I guess he was right
[EVO 4G General] thetakara:
lolwut? There is no EVO 2.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
It's just a Desire Z renamed as the EVO Shift to ride off of the EVO's marketing. Wouldn't exactly call it the EVO 2.
[EVO 4G General] kwajr:
Evo shift
[EVO 4G General] kwajr:
I wouldn't either but when someone says there is an evo 2 coming out months before everyone hears about it and the phone says evo the dude is right
[EVO 4G General] themuffinman:
God damn I hate this thank you button, anyway I was trying to reply and I hit the thank you button by accident.

Anyway, I bet you that by the end of 2011 there will be an evo 2 and I bet that by the end of 2012 there will be an evo 3. My point is anyone can make a broad generalization, its all about the specifics. Now if the person said 5 months ago that it will have a slide out keyboard with a 3.6" screen with a 2nd gen snapdragon running 800mhz then thats different.
[EVO 4G General] sdc177:
Related question...does anyone have any idea what Sprint devices will be out in early June 2011 when us launch day people will be eligible for upgrade? Seems like we knew about the EVO/supersonic for months and months before release. I wouldn't mind a 4G tablet...
[EVO 4G General] CarterF:
What? Can you not read? It's not the EVO 2. It's just a different model with a slide out keyboard, and no hardware improvements at all. In fact, it's the opposite of a hardware improvement; it's got an 800MHz processor.

The EVO 2 will probably have a dual-core and better GPU to fit the requirements of 3.0
[EVO 4G General] thetakara:
Your guess is as good as anyone elses.
[EVO 4G General] jonathaflores:
evo shift is not the evo 2, is like saying the droid incredible was the droid 2??? no pfff,
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
How many times does it need to be said that the 800 MHz CPU in the newer HTC phones are better. Plus the GPU is not absolute crap.

I bet you the EVO 2 will have the same 2nd gen Qualcomm as the current HTCs. And then two months later HTC will release dual cores. And although I do believe that Honeycomb will require a decent GPU, there are no known requirements.
[EVO 4G General] themuffinman:
Personally, I believe that the evo 2 will more than likely have a dual core processor. I would even guess it will be atleast 1.2ghz dual core with 1gig of ram.
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
Don't think anyone is denying that the new internals aren't a step up, as that's obviously the case. But also not quite sure who would honestly see it as a second Gen Evo. I would personally hope that HTC would really take advantage of next Gen dual core CPUs and make a true Evo successor. A man can dream but only time will tell. I would hope to see no keyboard as well...for obvious reasons.

SWYPED from my SUPASONIC
[EVO 4G General] tangstang:
A) Its not the EVO 2 its the EVO shift. You are correct

B) How is a 800mhz processor that runs better than the Snapdragon not an improvement? Believe that it is supposed to have the 205 GPU instead of the 200, that's an improvement as well.

C) If the CPU and the GPU are both BETTER, how can you say it doesn't have any hardware improvements? It should be a sound device, very capable, I'm sure they'll sell a ton of them, I've always thought HTC had better build quality than Samsung, (because they do).
[EVO 4G General] Jbcarrera:
You are totally correct the EVO shift4G is a cdma port of the G2 with a different screen so yes it is better in alot of ways, but EVO2 it is not. as for the 4g tab there is one comming code name right now is Shift4G not EVO Shift but just plain old Shift specs are varied right now so there are no confirmed specs right now
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
I want my evo 2 to have a 5 inch screen, a dual core processor, 16gb internal memory, tegra2 graphics....and 3 more wishes
[EVO 4G General] werxen:
It should have a 3.7 or 4 inch screen with better resolution. Dual core is meh - I would rather have better app optimization.
[EVO 4G General] tangstang:
I know radioshack is advertising it will go on sale on the 9th.... it isn't in the playbook yet, hasn't shown any specs for it yet, and the prices change on the 9th... the Shift isn't mentioned on it. Seems kinda weird.
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
I will never again have a phone with less than a 4.3 inch screen, I don't care how awesome it may be or cheap to buy

my evo fits my 6ft 5 body very well but bigger is better, heck gimme a tablet that can make calls and will tether to my laptop
[EVO 4G General] xlGmanlx:
seriously 4.3 is the sweet spot, but i wouldn't cry over a 4" screen. HTC whats the haps on your tablet? seriously knock that crap out so we can buy your tablet
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
Yeah, 4 is as low as I'd go concerning screen size ... tiny phone will I not have.

SWYPED from my SUPASONIC
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
4 is prolly the low for me as well, but 4.3 is prolly the max. Anything bigger just looks silly.. like the dell streak I seen.. I thought the guy was talking on an ipad.

About the 800 mhz processor, I would think it would also help battery life as well? That's always a big plus. I know there will be people who can't get over it being 800 and make all kinds of wild claims of how slow it is or whatever... it is what it is.

Not my type of phone tho, I hope the "evo 2", whatever upgrades are made... is at least manufactured under better QC. I'm rocking an EVO with light leakage, screen seperation, loose kickstand and a speaker that blew out in about 2 months without ever listening to music through it (I use headphones). So whatever the hardware/software upgrades.. I want the friggin QC to be miles ahead of what it was when my EVO was built.
[EVO 4G General] potna:
I love he screen size of the evo, that's he main reason I bought it. But i still think its funny to hear someone say ewww, that phone is huge, yet placed on a table next to other phones it really don't look so much bigger that it shouldn't be a then off, besides, the evo is all screen.

Oh another thing people say is ewww the evo is so heavy, so I whip out some ziplock bags put their phone and the evo in seperate but identical bags and say close your eyes and tell me Auchan one is the "too heavy" evo. I have

Only done this about three times and usually they have a hard time even telling the difference. Honestly I do this test to how people how dumb they are. Admittedly I know the evo is most likely heavier but not by a substantial amount.

Ok, I'm being mean, and i'll stop now.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] digger1985:
I am sure a lot of us miss the quick toggles. Is anyone actively working on this? I have posted this on the official MS WP7 board as well.

The way I see it, once you get the menu bar by pressing the volume keys, you should be able to swipe the bar left/right to get to a new pane in the bar with toggles for all the settings.

Hopefully MS does this soon! or maybe the xda devs here can implement it to foce MSs hand.

I dont have a data plan for my slide, I just want to use my regular minutes to be able to talk on it while I'm on the road and use wireless for everything else when I'm at home, work, etc. I've got the 3G turned off, but about once a day it seems to turn itself back on. How do I turn it off permanently? I dont want any data charges or anything.

By the way I'm not rooted, but I think I'll do that and put on a 2.2 ROM this weekend.

Thanks.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
Longpress power button, turn off connection to mobile network. You may still see the 3g icon at times because picture messages and certain data communication goes over the data anyway. But you won't get charged for that. But if you root and flash a 2.2 rom, beware that you will not be able to send/receive ANY data if you turn data off, which means no picture messaging either. In the stock roms it still allows picture messaging.

If you root and flash a new rom, there's an app that restricts what applications can use data. I'm pretty sure its called DroidWall. I put it on my friend's droid so he can pic message without other apps using data.

Hi all...

My first post in the amazin forum.

I bought a new Xperia X10i and updated it to 2.1 from PC Campagin... works just fine.

I don't have the Market app installed... is there a way to install it manually? is there a version that works for Xperia X10i? I was goind around the forum the last few days and Already installed some vending apks. one of them installs fine and I can launch the Market but when I try to click on any app to install it the system crashes and I have to Force Close it...

Any help?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] emarino14:
That happened to me with a HTC Tattoo from the company because it was a Phillipine phone. What I did to solve it was to install a ROM on the phone, if I find one compatible for the X10i that will have the Market working (maybe an international standard version) I'll reply again.

You should probably post your question in the Iced Galcier rom thread so the developers can see it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dclaw_fantum:
I answered this question in the ROM thread.

It is caused by the browser cache being filled. The stock browser can only have a max cache size of 6 MB. The pages you are loading are larger than the cache, which causes the browser to close and clear the cache. You'll notice that when you open the browser back up it goes to the default start page.

Try Dolphin HD or Skyfire from the market, they look to have dynamic caches sizes that get cleared when necessary or upon exit.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shlongwoodian:
bchen03 and dclaw_fantum are correct. There were also users experiencing FC due to Adobe Flash Player. Ultimately, the browser and Ice Glacier perform flawlessly for me and most everyone else. If it's not the issue dclaw_fantum posted, Adobe Flash Player could also be at play. From what everyone posted, it looks like just going to the Market and reinstalling Flash helped.

I know this has been covered several times, but I've finally decided that i'm pulling the trigger and replacing my old HTC Touch (1) phone after CES. I've been off contract since June, waiting for Sprint to have WP7, and have decided that once CES happens, i'm going to pull the trigger. However, I'm really starting to lean to Android....probably the Evo, maybe Epic as my choice, with the primary reason being the ability to hack to allow tethering.

With that said, anyone working on this have any incite as to how close we are to seeing tethering working for HTC phones? I'm assuming that *if* Sprint has phones right after CES, it's only going to be the HTC model.

So...any ideas, incites, possiblities for me?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] IM0001:
I am partially in the same boat as you. Waiting on Sprint and the 7 Pro.

I did have the EVO for the month and while it is a nice phone with a lot of power and awesome 4G. (even with it no official in Sacramento, I got 6-10Mbit)

However for tethering alone, it has it's Pros and Cons.

Pro = Wifi Infrastructure Tethering. *Awesome*

Con = 4G Wifi Tethering is still broken. (Wired tethered 4G seamed to still work)

I do hope we will soon get some good tethering abilities shortly after the first or second update and if not, XDA will probably have WP7 pretty well cracked by Summer 2011 I would believe.

Once CDMA Devices hit the street then the ball should get fully rolling.

My market was working fine (You know what they say... if it ain't broke, don't fix it... I really should have listened) before I tried to add the new Vending.apk

The steps I took were copying the new market to my SD and backing up the old to my SD.

I deleted the old one on /system/app (all using Root Explorer)

Moved the new one to System, renamed it. Changed permissions and rebooted.

On boot, no Market.

Went to restore the old one, rebooted, no market.

Now I try to install the new one in the system/app with the .apk, and it simply says Application not installed.

Any chance I can get the old .apk just in case mine is faulty, or any advice?
