I also went through 3 vibrants a g2 and back to the vibrant, the last vibrant i got (the one im using now) the gps worked perfect on stock ji6, its been a little over a month now and now the gps has gotten flaky, the phone does lag but im still on official ji6. Ive flashed many roms on my previous vibrants and honestly yeah you get "2.2 froyo" but theres still alot of issues and bugs. Roms stating "improved/fixed gps" did nothing or mess it up. So im with the ppl supporting this in hopes of samsung releasing the update soon for people patiently waiting like me and others.

And whats really lawlable is the people whos gonna buy the vibrant plus that comes with 2.2 WHEN a 2.3 is alrdy out, kind of similar to when the vibrants out with 2.1 when 2.2 was out hmm... (ZOMG COINCIDENCE?!) Then they'll expect a 2.3 update to come to their NEW Vibrant PLUS! sigh those poor souls...

But my next phone will most likely be a Galaxy S 2 if they decide to make one and hopefully by then samsung will have perfected their hardware AND their software :)
[Vibrant General] presence06:
If I were you, I'd seriously look at something else... you'll get burned again. Samsung doesn't disappoint if you're looking for stock OS versions with no updates. So buy that phone and you'll be stuck at with maybe one update and then something new will come out. You're pretty much setting yourself up for fail.. just forewarning you.

HERES PROOF THAT SAMSUNG PROMISED ALL ANDROID USERS FROYO BY NOVEMBER

ALL USERS INCLUDING U.S. OWNERS OF THIS PHONE!

http://www.examiner.com/gadgets-in-...-froyo-update-will-hit-u-s-by-end-of-november

They clearly said

EVERYONE

Whats really sad is that there is a small group of T-Mo soldiers gathering my address and personal info

They are making borderline racist statements of a derogatory nature

Claiming I am a WANNABE White Rapper

http://Facebook.com/SinistaBeatz

I have nothing to hide

Judge me for who I am as a person

Not by the color of my skin or my chosen career path

This has

nothing

to do with this lawsuit

These people have been

threatening to do something to me for filing this lawsuit

They have attacked me time and time again for criticizing T-Mobile

After they blocked me from their forum

and IP banned me from their forums

They had the nerve to gather all my posts,

and REWRITE them so that I can fit their profile

I had received E Mail threats from Moderators from forums.tmobile.com

What they do not realize is that I am a fed up customer like everybody else

And I did something about it

They are only trying to demonize me, and defame my character

they obviously work for T-Mobile

They have to be working for them

since they are so dedicated to bringing down my lawsuit

These people obviously are acting like a bunch of sociopaths hellbent on going as far as they possibly can

to silence me

even if they have to

kill me

I know they want to.

You can easily see how many people joined JUST TO attack me

I KNEW I would face this level of adversity

by fighting such a giant corporation

These people hate it when someone does something for the people

These are all the behavioral characteristics of Satan

God Bless
[Vibrant General] tediberus:
seems to me the only thing samsung is guilty of as of now is not being able to deliver the "fixes" in a nice neat package via an OTA update or thru samsung kies.

most of the "problems" have been fixed by .... well .... custom roms here at xda .....

and this i think would probably more of T-mobile's fault .... as other versions of galaxy S already have froyo 2.2.1
[Vibrant General] presence06:
Wrong, none of the US carriers have Froyo on their Galaxy S phones. And the general public who buy phones don't visit this site and load custom ROM's, they just want it to work as sold.

Read...

EDIT: The UK and Canada networks have Froyo yes, but nothing in the US.

I just won a class action suit (that I didn't start) against a credit consolidation corporation from sometime back in '99 or '00. I received a check for $24 in the mail last week. Talk about a long drawn out affair. That's ten or so years!
[Vibrant General] Ms_Vibrant:
Why Don't you guys call tmobile and have them replace your vibrant with a g2 or mt4g.. maybe they will since this is their liability anyway and not samsung's... this is tmobile's fault for selling you a faulty evice,you didn't buy it directly from Samsung.. just think about it...

if tmo would let you get a g2 or a mt4g would you guys exchange it?? Im keeping my vibrant.. lol

at least try and call tmobile to replace it unless you can't keep yourselves away from the vibrant's beautiful screen.. lol.. and just want a better software on it.. haha
[Vibrant General] MicBeast:
I tried that

They WILL lie to you and PROMISE you one of those

[Vibrant General] eltormo:
Watch out from Tmobile moderators,they could shot you with their staple gun.lol Nerds..

Is incredible that people are so damn fanatic that they will defend a company wrong doing like that,i will file a complain against T mobile,for punishing me for using my connection to much when i have a fu**ing unlimited data plan,is not in my contract and it doesn't say anything about been capped if i pass 5GB,also they don't say your service will be completely ruin by the cap,and that you will not be able to watch videos.

In fact how the fu** does Tmobile even dare to do this,with phones like the damn Mythouch 4G that are advertised heavily for video chatting,something that is a huge bandwidth hug,and their 4G speeds and unlimited plan,just to cap you for using it.? in fact how can that be legal,one thing is that they tell me that i will not have 3G speed every where i understand that,but another is capping my connection because i use it.

Worst is not even on my contract,in no part is say i will be capped at 5GB,no were and in no part say that several of my phone application will not work,until my new cycle begins no were.

That is a clear breach of contract,i bet that is i use my daughter phone which doesn't have an unlimited plan,i could download 10GB at 3G speed and they will not cap me,but of course that serve them well.

Doppler808,

You asked for the truth, here is the truth. I do visit T-Mobile forum daily and here are the facts

1. Every time someone complains about T-Mobile you attack people.

2. Then your friends, Droid-o-matic, Lolita73, philyew, show up to support you.

3. When you got asked about your motives in supporting T-Mobile, your attacks increase even more.

4. When you get called a troll admins show up, ban people, and threads get locked. On the other hand, you call others Trolls all the time.

5. You also like to criticize developers.

I see Droid-o-matic already showed up here to support you. I'm waiting for Lolita73, philyew to show up as well.

You asked for the truth, I'm giving you the truth.

This is what Samsung needs to hear from the masses, that's where change happens.
[Vibrant General] brnstprr:
I think the suit is awsome

Look when the new phone comes out it is supposed to be identical. There is a camera slot for the vibrant but no camera. I have to say that is why they pushed the buy one get one, sticking people with contracts and getting rid of the defective product. If I would have known the GPS was defective, I might have never bought the phone. Wait and see if the "New" phone has the same issues. If its identical, we have a serious problem and they need to address it. What's fair is fair. I also thought the 2.2 was coming out for the vibrant. Other phones already have it. What's the deal? Hmm sounds pretty bad to me. I guess Samsung is going to be the Toyota of phones.
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
yes twitter them, flood their facebook, let them know we are angry!
[Vibrant General] Jmurph3:
Blog post or not, Samsung has still announced and even advertised that the phones are upgradeable to 2.2 Froyo. Several times it has been announced that it will be released with only more delays. On their own website, even in stores, etc. it has been said that the phone is upgradeable. Where is our update? Obviously its not going to be here before the new set of Galaxy S devices are released. That's very wrong to do to a consumer, yet, apparently unlawful.

I'm a Captivate user, but still, my GPS DOES NOT WORK. That is a hardware defect and under unofficial research it is proven. I would think the fact that any software update that was said to fix the GPS hasn't worked should be enough proof for that case.
[Vibrant General] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Let's not lose site of what started this.

I echo MicBeast original starting of this post!

I too have problems with Samsung, I'm with AT&T and have the same thoughts as to what is being done here. My biggest gripe is how many other COUNTRIES are getting 2.2 for there Galaxy S phone (Canada/Rogers) and Galaxy S was there several months after being released here.

Here is a question, is it the numbers? Overall subscribers of cell phones by country carriers shows the us has close to the fewest subscribers then most other countries. This may be why we're not as important as the masses of the world!

[Vibrant General] Jmurph3:
I do believe that was an AT&T thing, not a manufacturer.
[Vibrant General] Jmurph3:
Yes, we signed for a 2.1 phone with the said (from Samsung) upgradeable to 2.2 Froyo. There has been many word from Samsung that claims it will be released before the end of the year. It is now 2011, hence the end of the year part in 2010. They messed up and now someone is taking stand for it.
[Vibrant General] TGA_Gunnman:
This is my last Samsung phone. The non-standard way they implemented the OS is annoying. The lack of functional updates and the constant push-backs are frustrating. Then having a Vibrant Plus with all the features I wish the Vibrant had to begin with makes me feel ripped off.

Complaining aside I do love the S-AMOLED Screen and it is the main reason I purchased the phone, but had no Idea that the compass, GPS, phone having a bad lag issue and lack of a standard OS implementation would have plagued me.

Thanks to devs and the ROM community I have gotten past all that, but from the manufacturer this phone is a lemon.

P.S. Who still uses RFS (Riser File Systems) in the UNIX/Linux world anymore?!?! Samsung that’s who. Why would anyone want to use slow SD memory for their phones application storage instead of NAND?!?! Samsung that’s who.

Go Figure!!!
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
no, not even samsung anymore, the galaxy s series was made while samsung was drunk and on crack.

They made this as a "beta" phone, then realized that the RFS was stupid, and then what happens? Nexus S.

then they realized that every phone now-a-days has a FFC, so what happens next? Vibrant+

they're pissing me off by releasing something with like 1-5 changes and making it a whole new phone instead of supporting a phone sold millions.
[Vibrant General] AustinKnight45:
Come on people we need more signatures then 73, you going to sit on your hands until your due for a new upgrade or try to get a update before then http://www.groubal.com/samsung-has-...en-when-they-promised-end-of-year/#signatures
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
Can you please clarify.

Yikes, these statements have me worried.

I say this with all do respect, but I think you are a little bit confused, you better call the firm and speak to them about the financial aspect one more time.

I just asked a family member who is an attorney and they laughed and said you are mistaken most likely. You are mistaking "pro bono" with "contingency basis." Also, he wasn't kind enough to do anything, trust me, I know lawyers, they don't do anything out of kindness. He sees a potential huge settlement down the road, which means big $$$ for the firm.

Pro bono means the attorney and the firm is doing this completely free of charge from start to end, and any settlement goes completely to the consumers (100 percent unlikely in a class action)

Contingency basis means the attorney doesn't get paid unless you win (most class actions are handled this way). You lose the attorney gets nothing and charges nothing for his time, if we win then the attorney and firm takes a HUGE junk of any judgement or settlement.

Additionaly, are you sure you have actually filed a class action? Like you actually filed it? I was told there is a lot of evidence gathering, and finding more consumers with similar problems before the attorney feels comfortable actually filing a class action. Seems to me the attorney asked you to go find other people thats why you are hear gathering us up, and please again double check on the financial part, class action pro bono sounds unlikely.

Sorry, but again I have a feeling you misunderstood the financial part.

ps...the financial part can always be negotiated, just because an attorney asks for 40% of any judgement or settlement doesn't mean you have to agree to pay them that much.

Also, in class actions, consumers have the option to retain their right to sue individually by opting out of a class action.

Touche mic, lol. I drive to my corner office 5 hours away in Bellevue every day. Youngest exec in tmo history.

You have had unbelievably bad luck with your phone. Or you are incompetant. Statistically, incompetance is more likely, just saying. Probably a combo bc this phone does have a couple known issues, but nothing like you have described.

People can't take you seriously when you think tmo and sammy execs are trolling your BS thread for whatever reason. Rest assured pal, if I was a tmo exec I'd be banging my trophy wife on my yacht, not on xda making fun of some loser.

I would like to thank you very much for answering my QUESTION regarding whether or not you were a T mo exec

And as far the type of issues I've had with this phone are concerned

I have received E mails

And there are posts on this forum that prove you wrong

Their are also post on this forum which QUESTION whether the GPS is actually a HARDWARE issue and whether the Galaxy S should be recalled

you obviously have done nothing more than read MY posts and responded in a manner which OBVIOUSLY IS AIMED AT PROTECTING T-MOBILES BEST INTEREST and not the people

I just love how ALL of the Crony's came out

I wonder who you really work for

When you respond they way you do

DEFENDING T-MOBILE AND SAMSUNG REGARDLESS OF ANY AND ALL OF THE EXISTING CIRCUMSTANCES

SUCH AS; BUT NOT LIMITED TO

WITHHOLDING UPDATES

FAULTY GPS (HARDWARE DEFECT)

EMPTY PROMISES

A NEW VIBRANT 4 G WITH FROYO ON TOP OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THERE BEING 4G CAPABILITY IN THE CURRENT MODEL

A PROMISE THAT

EVERYONE

(WORDLWIDE)

WOULD RECEIVE UPDATES TO

FROYO

ALMOST EVERY MONTH SINCE MARCH

A PROMISE IN THEIR LAUNCH MATERIAL AND ADS THAT CLEARLY STATES WE WOULD RECEIVE FROYO WITHIN WEEKS AFTER THE LAUNCH

THE RELEASE OF THE GALAXY VARIANT (NEXUS S) WITH 2.3 WHILE WE STILL HAVE ECLAIR

AND SEVERAL PEOPLE EXPERIENCING RESTARTS AND/OR CRASHES WHEN THEY USED GPS IN JI6

WHICH IS WHY THEY ROLLED IT BACK THEN RE-RELEASED IT!

MANY BUGS, EXTREME LAG, AND HEY

WHERE IS THE SOURCE CODE?

WHY ARE THE DEVELOPERS ABLE TO CREATE FUNCTIONING FROYO ROMS FOR THE VIBRANT IN LESS THAN A WEEK

ON TOP OF MOSTLY FUNCTIONAL BUILDS OF GINGERBREAD FOR THE VIBRANT IN LESS THAN A MONTH!

BEING MIS-INFORMED AND STUCK IN YOUR WAYS

TRAPPED IN YOUR OWN TRAIN OF THOUGHT DOES NOT MAKE YOU SMARTER THAN ANYONE

IT MAKES YOU A CLOSE MINDED NARCISSISTIC EGOTIST JUST TRYING TO RALLY

AS MANY PEOPLE INTO BELIEVING THAT IT IS BETTER TO GET SCREWED

[Vibrant General] lawalty:
My opinion, i think why the Ol'USA is left out of receiving any Froyo updates its Galaxy S series phones is more political in nature than anything else. Yes, i also believe money is to blame, but really, 9 million Galaxy S phones sold world/wide, 4 million are Vibrants from the US. This whole 'holding back the update to increase sales' does not explain why the other Galaxy S series US phones from the other three carriers isn't getting any 'official' Froyo goodness.

Pure unadulterated politics my friends! It's still wrong as rain water in the living room, but you can boil it down to politics. Big business has it tentacles in governments for years now, and Samsung is no different. The decision has been made a long time ago to keep us last on the upgrade list (even though we purchased the most phones). Hell, i couldn't even find our country listed in any of the dropdown country lists on the Samsung website a little over a month ago.
[Vibrant General] MicBeast:
You still haven't finished...
[Vibrant General] megatherian:
There's a duplicate post in the general section too.

Even if Sammy did promise in writing to deliver Froyo to the Vibrant - there is no signed contract as to WHEN they have to deliver it. So if they want to wait until 2050 to give the Vibrant Froyo, they can do that. There is no breach.
[Vibrant General] ldsurftech:
I wouldn't file just yet. Wait until the new device is officially released and see if we get the upgrade then. I know that Tmo has been putting pressure on Samsung to deliver on their promise maid in Aug that all US devices will be updated to 2.2 by the year end last year but that didn't happen. So now from what I understand Tmo might be dropping a law suit on Samsung as well soon to force the update as our phones are capable to do HSPA plus
