Source wouldn't just enhance chances of Cyanogen ROM on our phones... it would pretty much guarantee it!

They've been saying forever that if they had source from sammy then we'd already of had CM on our phones
[Vibrant General] eminembdg:
Also, like I said earlier... It's just way TOO much of a coinsidence that now they rolling out froyo.

We did it, we all did it. I can bet we helped! And it's all thanks to you s15274n!!

You sir have rallied us and besides just that are a great invaluable member to XDA sir!
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Extremely kind, thank you man. I hope all of our efforts helped, but regaredless, Samsung now knows we are serious. Here is hoping this leads to better things in the future, ala Samsung Hardware + Being Open.
[Vibrant General] TJBunch1228:
I'm thinking there is no coincidence here. You had no impact with your Twitter campaign.

That guy with the fake lawsuit though, I give him full credit. Sammy was shaking in their boots.

*sarcasm meter EXPLODES*

There is NO way Samsung and T-Mo would be coming out and saying the things they are today if it wasn't for this effort. Well done, sir.
[Vibrant General] eminembdg:
psha... man i'm not being kind... I mean you've already helped us with things like the bible and so much help throughout the rest of the forum. Kind, nah, just honest and keeping it real.

Again, thank you. I'm being really sincere when I say thank you. I've used my thanks limit up today. So I felt I should say it in a post. You deserve it.

Also I can't say it enough, the Android community is just amazing! I've been an Android user since pre-ordering the G1 back in the day. And I'll tell you , this has got to be the most amazing community ever. I've "converted" at least 5 people to Android, 3 of them being iSheep. They are in love as well.
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
I bet cause if this forum, this is why we got froyo...

OP, very nice job, this got us froyo. Believe it or not people...
[Vibrant General] dcpetterson:
Honestly all of us vibrant owners have done something really special if the ota really rolls out. I am proud to be a XDA member today!

Best part? Us no talent people helped get source for the real special ones like som and master. We actually helped ourselves by helping them! Lol!
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
I agree. I made sure to help tweet and write on facebook also.. Thank ourselves but mostly op for the thread....
[Vibrant General] Indigo779:
Edited
[Vibrant General] dcpetterson:
Good point, edited post, I was just being a snotty jerk. Congrats all!!
[Vibrant General] jokersax11:
They have had source for 2.2 for the I9000 and no stable cm yet. One day
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
Hey seems like this campaign worked. Now lets start the Gingerbread hashtag, lol.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Alright, the next step:

If you get the OTA, please try and help the community BY DOING THIS!

Also, I can take no responsibility for the Bible, that is all almyz125.. I just did the stickies in the gen/q&a. THAT guy does a tremendous amount for us.
[Vibrant General] AustinKnight45:
OP OP OP ! I think this crusade might have worked, thanks for starting this man I really think are tweets where heard this is beautiful thing good job!
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
I didn't do anything.. The Android Community did :)
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
Ya and for some reason, I made a similar thread the day before you made this one, asking people to flood samsungs twitter and facebook and the moderator closed it, but I complained and it was reopened. Either way, the community came together and our tweets and facebook messsages were heard, or at least I like to think so.
[Vibrant General] aleph23:
Damn you t-mobile activists! :^) Getting everything you're asking for by diligently hammering away at ' the man'.

Now you leave the rest of us less-vocal SGS users to fend for ourselves! Sigh

[Vibrant General] iwillkillyou:
Dont get me wrong, your sticky helped me out when I bought the this phone, I havent checked it in a while. what I meant by that is, seeing you make a thread to complain but you did it in such a fasion that it doesnt compare to the rest. It is a complement and your welcome.

Added my 2c to twitter. Hope this continues and we start a trend. Spread the word.

Can someone post the xda link or info to http://forum.androidcentral.com/t-m...samsung-doesnt-want-you-have-froyo-thing.html thread?

I think it might have impact there also.

OP

You have support from Samdroid community as well, just posted this on the Samdroid board

http://forum.samdroid.net/f38/hashtag-twitter-those-upset-samsung-neveragain-3850/

We do not want you all to face the same problem as that of Samsung Spica i5700, a phone capable of running 2.2 and Samsung said that the phone does not have the hardware to run 2.2, the devs at samdroid have ported AOSP & CM Froyo to it though and are curretnly porting GB.

Anyways the devs over there also hate the Samsung closed sources and mails to Samsung have resulted in no reply, hope the twiiter hashtag can make Samsung chnage there so called rules ..

Hope to see you all around on twitter land.

Use the hashtag, spread the word.
[Vibrant General] LexusBrian400:
I approve of this.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
^^

Thank you for posting that on another board (which I will now start checking out). If others check other forums, please feel free to copy / paste or link to this thread.

The more the merrier!

I'm honestly shocked at the volume of #neveragain tweets... Love it.

It's certainly getting a lot of tweets... This is a cool site that shows trends:

I hope that spike continues to climb.
[Vibrant General] munchy_cool:
thanks a lot for coming over to samdroid just to thank.:D
[Vibrant General] trunkstar1:
Don't forget to make your voice heard here! http://on.fb.me/dAG5d1

No character limit and much more "face time" for your message to Samsung.
[Vibrant General] f0li0:
Ive tweeted!
[Vibrant General] munchy_cool:
One of our devs over @ samdroid just tweeted that

the 3d drivers for the Nexus S were shared as a BINARY package by Samsung,

so Samsung Open Source is a joke , I will #NeverAgain buy a #Samsung.

how about retweeing the same to @jbqueru

I did RT it to @jbqueru, hoping he listens and asks Samsung to Open source there stuff and stop violating ...
[Vibrant General] TheBrandonWRX:
Gonna laugh when 2.2 drops week before Vibrant Plus releases. Samsung is NOT doing something all crazy conspiracy like. The phone has been announced. There is NO benefit to them not to release it unless you are talking more Vibrant like hype. You release Froyo on Vibrant before Plus hits and the whole web is talking about Vibrant again. On top of that some people simply are not in a position to upgrade so it doesn't impact them. This whole thing is a wasted crusade. I apologize in advance.
[Vibrant General] Dougefresh91:
I doubt Samsung will care, but I retweeted it. Screw 'em. I've already decided to stop buying Samsung products, including the $1200 TV I've been saving for. I'll buy LG or Sony.
[Vibrant General] emonero:
I tried to do this a few weeks ago and only a few people wanted to do it...We only need about 50 people posting for one week on samsung and tmobile facebook and twiter ona post a day and I think we could get notice!
[Vibrant General] munchy_cool:
I agree we need to be persistent.
[Vibrant General] d_bot:
I understand that they are a business and the point of a business is to make money, I understand that, but if you are going to use Android, an open source OS, then you MUST play by the rules. If you don't want to play by the rules, go develop your own OS. /rant

Posted my two cents on Twitter hope we are heard....and even more hope the vibrant 4g fails hard. I got my vibrant, loved it, talked 3 of my family and friends into getting it over the MT4G and G2 and now they pull this stunt. #NeverAgain

@Samsungtweets @SamsungMobileUS Very disappointed as a consumer! Shady business practices & no OTA have led me to #NeverAgain buy Samsung
[Vibrant General] hazard99:
The amount of badgering they are taking is awesome!
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
I'm glad to see others joining the effort... keep spreading the same message.

#NeverAgain

To the ONE person who doesn't understand, your point was noted.

and rejected. :) I kid.
[Vibrant General] }{Alienz}{:
GOOD JOB. Spam them.
[Vibrant General] eminembdg:
I've tweeted and also retweeted several other tweets i seen tagged #neveragain, hopefully they get the message... keep it going!
[Vibrant General] iwillkillyou:
Haha I wouldnt say only one person, im sure many others think the same. But its shocking how fast this is spreading. but I still stand my ground, it wont work.
[Vibrant General] sarge363:
Looks like another leak was released. Hmmmm what if its a Samsung strategy to slow our movement of #NeverAgain.

Sent from THE Vibrant......
[Vibrant General] eminembdg:
that may be true, may not be. Also ... how many thought a homeless guy could get a free house and job just cuz some guy video taped him and he had a great voice?

fact is... weirder stuff has happened lol
[Vibrant General] swehes:

[Vibrant General] StefanB86:
I tweeted @Samsungtweets and @SamsungMobileUS, and today got an email saying that @SamsungStore was following me, my first one! lol :D
[Vibrant General] DreamcastDC:
I really hope news spread that they are holding back the 2.2 update for Galaxy S phones in the US, so people will think twice before buying a Samsung phone.

Same with 2.3, it's clear that the Nexus S uses the same processor as the Vibrant, they could easily ported it over, but choose not too.
[Vibrant General] GTO777:

[Vibrant General] GreggoryD502:
So what can us non-twittering peeps do to help the cause??
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
^ facebook

I know nothing about it, but I included a lot of their info in the OP.

PLEASE ALSO USE FACEBOOK.... IT WOULD BE MORE BENEFICAL THAN TWITTER.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Pressure bloggers u know to try to get it published more. Nag Engadget and TechCrunch about it as well.
[Vibrant General] trunkstar1:
Here's the link Samsung Mobiles Facebook fan page: http://on.fb.me/dAG5d1

Post your thoughts on their wall! They have almost half a million fans that could see your message and it will get more face time than it will on Twitter.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
^ NICE find, thanks man!
[Vibrant General] swehes:
Do you have to like them to be able to write on their wall?
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
^ Hopefully someone else will chime in soon with a response for you.

I've updated the OP. If you guys see something on there that needs to be improved, please let me know.
[Vibrant General] swehes:
Well. I clicked on Like and I was able to edit. So I added a comment to your post. Will see if this gain speed.
[Vibrant General] Haxel:
The poor person at http://twitter.com/GalaxySsupport must be required to respond to everyone. He/she sounds like a broken record though. I almost feel sorry for them.
[Vibrant General] swehes:
Almost being the keyword. Although I agree with you. It is the Management and Board that needs to be whacked over their head.
[Vibrant General] couped:
That story sounds like an I'm a T-mobile rep story that went too far. Even the bulls are holding their nose.
[Vibrant General] }{Alienz}{:
Hammer them. Everywhere. This is not acceptable.
[Vibrant General] trunkstar1:
Yes, you do. Then when you post on their wall, your message will show up in the "Just Others" section (or the Samsung Mobile Global + Others section).

If you really can't handle the fact that you "liked" Samsung, you can unlike them after you post your message ;)
[Vibrant General] Haxel:
It appears #froyogate is taking off as well.
[Vibrant General] trunkstar1:
Something else we all should definitely do is send a letter to the Open Handset Alliance, letting them know we feel Samsung is not doing enough to honor it's committment to be "open."

Email addresses (I'd just send one email to both ;)

press@openhandsetalliance.com

[Vibrant General] ndwgs:
S15 (OP),

Update the OP with these list to the tweets. Omar and Leah started to follow me and @SamsungJessica respond to my rant stating: " Hi I'm sorry you had to see that story about the company putting a hold on your update. I myself has not yet heard of any official news release if these were true or not."

These list might be somewhat important? Maybe a direct line workers or some kind of management to Samsung US Enterprise?

How could they have their own name with @Samsung if they aren't important enough?

Sent from the helm of Vibrant Territory!
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
And the fire grows... keep sending out messages over ALL methods.
[Vibrant General] Col.Kernel:
Done!

@SamsungMobileUS & @Samsungtweets After the Behold II fail and the Vibrant fail.. I will #NeverAgain buy #samsung.

Even more angering since I own both.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
^ haha, ouch man... Samsung appreciates your $ though :)
[Vibrant General] Col.Kernel:
I'm also tweeting that line, with the #froyogate hashtag, to Phandroid, AndroidGuys, and will add BGR and Andrionica as soon as I find them.

Oh and Google has a couple of Twitter accounts, I'll post them here when I get the chance. The main Google and any mobile/android Google Twitter accounts will get the same thing.

Facebook is next.

As I've made clear in several other posts on this topic, I am a customer, not a consumer. Consumer is just business-speak for a mark who can be fleeced again and again.

As you (or someone) commented earlier in this thread, I couldn't care less about an official Samsung update, but the FroYo source needs to be up so the modders can get to work on it.

May I suggest you post a complete list of hashtags and Twitter accounts in your OP?
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
EXACTLY, that is the point people need to understand. Samsuck needs to release their source to our developers and comply with the open handset alliance.

To the last remark you made, the tweets will be more effective if we all use ONE hashtag... that gains more of a trend and identifies we are all together. The more tags used, the diluted the effort on twitter.

That is why emailing forums, websites and facebook needs to be the next attack.

I have a feeling I am going to read this in a month or so and be emabarrassed, but if it helps US and the DEVELOPERS it is absolutely worth it.
[Vibrant General] funeralthirst:
this is my tweet, if people just want to c/p:

@GalaxySsupport Still no 2.2 or 2.2 source. But the same phone being (re)released with 2.2 and hspa+? I will #NeverAgain buy #samsung..
[Vibrant General] XPLANE9:
Twitter away!

(Hopefully samsung does what they did to the Spica, update to 2.1 from 1.5!)
[Vibrant General] here.david:
Chicken and Egg kind of thing...

I have two points and a viewpoint, Point One: It does not matter if both or just either are the ones not allowing, I use the word allowing as that is all it is, the GalaxyS to have the latest Android OS. What does matter is that Samsung repeatedly made statements that updates to fix all the issues AND the updating of the OS would be forthcoming over six months ago therefore it is and honor thing. Point two: Both Samsung and T-mobile (as we are only talking about the Vibrant, yet is also the same for the other carriers) by not standing up with respect of their customers and honor of their words and deeds, by making a full disclosure of the facts are at fault. If T-mobile shows its customers respect they would make a statement as to what they have/or are doing to update AND WHEN if they are going to do so. The same goes for Samsung, yet neither have done therefore sadly they BOTH are the problem.

Better yet, a road map of each devices, before going on sale, as to what version is current and SPECIFIC dates “IF” any updates are to be forthcoming. If they miss that date the phone is returned for any current and any future phone within a set time frame of say six months with no costs to the customer. Would be nice if some politician needed to get elected (re-elected) would put forth such a bill. The public airwaves really do not belong to companies rather are owned by the people (elected politicians decide how to regulate) and NOT THE COMPANIES. If they cannot be fair and honorable than it is time to regulate this! The free market place is only free IF your behave honorably, otherwise, it needs to be regulated. Enough is enough!
[Vibrant General] Col.Kernel:
As a Behold II owner as well as a Vibrant owner I have tweeted the following:

After the Behold II fail and the Vibrant fail. I will #NeverAgain buy #Samsung. #froyogate

To:

@AndroidGuys

@Phandroid

@AndroidCentral

@TMobile

@Androinica

@TmoNews

@GoogleMobile

and I will be posting on the boards of the top 4 sites I have tweeted to.

I'll get to the Facebook stuff after I get home.

I'm sick and tired of big corporations treating their customers like we something that came from the bottom of a bird cage.

Google set up the OHSA to allow full access to the OS. Samsung and Motorola have done their best to circumvent that. I, for one, resent the hell out of that attitude.
[Vibrant General] swehes:
Leave the government out of this. We the people loose freedom every time the government goes into to regulate something. Instead let's band together, create a business plan and find an angel to support with the money. Let's create the best phone out there that gets the best support. Let's make it American and kick the bad companies out.

If we continue to let government regulate soon you will have only one type of phone sold to you by the government. We will have an eastern block type of regime.

No this is best handled by people who cares, not politicians in the government. Let the free market reign!
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
^ & ^^

I do not want to steer the thread in the wrong direction, but your last comment made me think of Cyanogens New Years Tweet where he hoped 2011 would be the year an Android phone SHIPPED WITH CYANOGENMOD on it.

Can you imagine? wow.
[Vibrant General] Haxel:
I back the free market standpoint. Just remember with the whole "government regulation" thing, everything has a cost.

Besides, most of the time "government regulation" is just the easy/lazy way out.
[Vibrant General] swehes:
You know it could be done. :) They just need to find a manufacturer that are willing to provide the hardware. Put in bands to cover GSM and CDMA (Verizon have world phones having both) and off we go. :)

I don't mind if Samsung provides the hardware as long as they stay out of the software portion of it. LG seems to be having some good stuff as well. OK. Maybe need to do a new thread for this stuff and keep this what it needs to be.

My dream is to be able to buy phone parts and put it together myself the way we do it with computers.
[Vibrant General] Dammit2Hell:
Not sure how many followers you guys have. I've only got 820 but I have been getting a lot of DM's inquiring about what I am ranting about. This is really taking off.

[Vibrant General] ionic7:
I can already tell you that you are just wasting yours and other peoples time, your little "protest" will not yield anything, if you want a new phone just go out and buy it when it comes out but if you are gonna get pissy when one better than yours comes out my guess would be never ever upgrade and wait till the uber best phone in the world comes.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Did you even read the first post?

You are so far off it's laughable.
[Vibrant General] funeralthirst:
it's not that they are coming out with a 'better' phone. it's that they are essentially rereleasing the same phone, except with a software upgrade we were supposed to have months ago.
[Vibrant General] AustinKnight45:
Who invited this guy to the party, someone spike his coke zero with visine:cool:I think where a lil pissed because sammy is holding back the 2.2 update for are vibrants to boost there sales on the new vibrant plus, at least thats what Im pissed about.
[Vibrant General] Dammit2Hell:
Done.

Seriously man, no one is trying to get a new phone out of this.
[Vibrant General] kboater:
I tweeted again on both of samsungs twitter accounts
[Vibrant General] gancho:
Dusted off my Twitter account just to share my thoughts (sent to the 2 Twitter accounts I saw listed here). I am directly responsible for 4 Vibrant sales (maybe a couple more I am not sure of) that will not be getting replaced with Samsung phones if the delay keeps up.

I was aware of the BH2 fiasco but thought there was no way they would mess up the SGS upgrades since they were wanting to make such a big splash. Guess I gambled wrong on that one :)
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
Good Idea, hope the mods don't close this thread like they did mine, trying to silence angry Galaxy S owners.
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
It is creepy the way samsung and t-mobile start following you on twitter. Kinda creepy.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
Ikr! after I spammed samsung 2 of their accounts are following me lol
[Vibrant General] munchy_cool:
I do not want to be rude, but as long as you are intelligent enough and not wasting your time on this, you should be least bothered.

If you cannot encourage , please do not discourage other people also, we are just trying to make a valid point out here.
[Vibrant General] SuperJMN:
I have just wrote on the wall of Samsung Mobile Global:

"I'M REALLY DISAPPOINTED with you Samsung. Samsung Vibrant is not receiving any support from you. I bought this device after seeing your promises. I did a great effort to buy this phone, imported from the USA to Spain, and now I found out that you're leaving it apart for dead because you're about to release the Vibrant 4G+ that is what the original Vibrant should have been. Not only you delayed Froyo (2.2) on purpose to increase the sales of that device, but you're making it obsolete prematurely with the lack of a really working GPS. People: the GPS in the Vibrant is defective!! I have to tell the world that Samsung is abandoning the customers every now and then with every new device it releases. A little bit of respect for us and proper support NOW."

I also twitted about Samsung with #NeverAgain. Come on! Do it!
