I also want to add GalaxySSupport to complain to on twitter. It is the support twitter feed for all of the US Galaxy S variants.

Sent from my Shoe.... I mean my Samsung Shoe.... I mean my Samsung Epic
[Epic 4G General] OperationMove:
I tweeted them my 2 cents. Thanks for this. I hope alot of people actually jump on it. Not that it's likely to do anything. Still worth a try though!

That being said, it's pretty sad, because the epic has tons of promise. Oh well.

[Epic 4G General] dreamsforgotten:
Don't be so sure of that. A smaller website maybe, but one like xda that reaches so many people, its possible to scare them enough to believe we can effect their sales. Its energy better spent than posting over and over speculating about froyo so it also serves a two fold purpose. Overall I'm behind this.
[Epic 4G General] decalex:
Done as well.

Man, i hope that rumor isn't true..
[Epic 4G General] Pettro:
Did my part. I hope Samsung listens. They make great phones but need to step away from using an open source platform to maximize how much money they coul make by leaving their existing phone users to die.
[Epic 4G General] crajee16:
I agree with everyone that says the hardware is great, but I just can't stand the fact that Samsung is so slow to update to froyo even after all the complaints. There isn't any sort of support for this phone. Also, the fact they can't promise 2.3 (Gingerbread), as LG has done on the Optimus, even though they were able to put 2.3 on a Nexus S which basically has the same hardware is ridiculous.

You can tell me that I should just root and stop whining but that doesn't solve the problem. It's the principle. I feel like people are just sitting back and saying that the corporations will do what they want to do, which is to look only at short term profits (based on the article on AndroidSpin). If we can affect their bottom line through bad reviews of their products and petitions such as this one I'm sure they'll listen.

Also, if we just sit back and do nothing they'll just do it again and again. The reason for the "whining" is not for the sake of just whining, I just personally want to have the best android platform we can get.

In addition, isn't it just easier for everyone (rooted and not rooted) if we got the upgrade from Samsung directly? So why not try to make our lives easier.

That's why I'm all for this. Just my two cents.

Also, I would suggest people write poor reviews on places like CNET where less "techy" people might read reviews on cellphones before making purchases.
[Epic 4G General] boominz28:
dont think this is going to work because with twitter they haev the same canned response everytime its mentioned , someone needs to reach the higher ups like super management somehow. let them know how unhappy everyone is
[Epic 4G General] deisel:
Whuts do we need to post on Samsung site? I honestly post sumthing to them daily about dropping the ball on froyo n galaxy

They responded to me w the bull ish Re they sent to everybody about froyo due to the complexity whutever lol
[Epic 4G General] leatherneck6017:
Done and done.
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
I wish HTC had invented the super amoled and bought intrinsity instead of samsung. After hearing about all these "new" galaxys s phones being released I can only hope that if and when the froyo source is released it will give devs the code they need for porting 2.3 and beyond. I hope people realize they shouldn't buy these phones and the new galaxy s sales plummet to hell.

I don't use twitter, so I can't post but I do hope this movement is successful in getting samsung to wake up.
[Epic 4G General] ED2O9:
I just posted a "tip" link to the Vibrant article on Engadget. The whole Galaxy S Froyo update has been a running joke there, so hopefully they will pick up on this latest news.
[Epic 4G General] decalex:
hm.. this is really getting a lot of response-- #neveragain

besides all of the unrelated tweets.. like this one:

That's unrelated.

Anyway, even if Samsung doesn't respond, it's kinda cathartic :)

At the risk of getting lmgtfy'd, are there twitter analytics to see the number of responses to this?

Sign me up!

Samsung is heading towards the same direction as Sony Ericsson did with their Xperia X10 Series phones. After a whole year with Android 1.6 they finally get updated to 2.1 and then Sony announces that:

"We believe the features included in the Android 2.1 phone are on par with, and in many cases better than, a vanilla insallation of 2.2"

The hardware on the Xperia is more then good enough to run 2.2 or higher ....but Sony just screwed their customers over.

I guessing Samsung will do the exact same thing to the Galaxy S phones. We will get an update to 2.2 sometime in the future and NO UPDATES to 2.3+ in the future.

I will try and do my part to get the word out to #NeverAgain buy Samsung Phones.
[Epic 4G General] themirthfulswami:

[Epic 4G General] dreamsforgotten:
agreed, despite the anger many share, professionalism is a must to be taken serious.

I don't think we will appeal to Sammy by telling them weren't not happy, I think by appealing to the people who have yet to purchase an Epic, we will light a fire under Sammy to not loose sales. I like the collective energy here!
[Epic 4G General] glen_e:
This really does suck. I am with Sprint on a Ford plan, and if I raise enough hell, I know I will be able to get another phone.

@SamsungMobileUS I have a feeling my Epic is going to end up in the same box as my Cybiko, and I'll go HTC. #NeverAgain

[Epic 4G General] s15274n:
I LOVE that CNET wrote on this, the more large sites (CNET, XDA) that can write on this, the better. I have emailed Bonnie thanking her and referencing our thread on XDA.

PLEASE email sites and even send a link to them if you can (this the one that I update the most)

Are you guys hitting up their facebook wall? A lot of Vibrant owners have been doing that as well.
[Epic 4G General] s15274n:
THIS COULD BE WORKING!!

I do not want to jump to conclusions.... but I heard samsung has released their source for the Fascinate today!! It would not be hard to modify that for the Vibrant.

THIS IS EXCELLENT NEWS. (sorry for the HUGE red, I was excited).

[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
They wont.They will block your tweets like they did to my Behold2 tweets.

After me getting screwed with my Behold 2(stuck on 1.6) I said to my self "Never again".

But when Galaxy S came out I thought "Well maybe its a good investment because this phone comes out on 5 US carriers,so they gotta update because they cant leave all 5 carriers screwed",well I was deffinetly wrong.

Samsung is a company that dont give a fck about nothing and nobody,and if they didnt have Amoled screens monopolized then I would switch brands in a second.Sht even Sony X10 got 2.2 already.

I bet if every single person in the whole world bought a Samsung phone-Samsung would still **** on them with no remorse.I think this company is ran by robots that have no feelings and cant be resoned with,lol.
[Epic 4G General] murso74:
so what's the next best screen to the samsung? the evo screens always look terrible when i play with them.
[Epic 4G General] sauron0101:
The X10 won't be getting 2.2 - worse, it has a locked bootloader. Sony Ericsson is a firm to stay the hell away from it looks.

Samsung, despite its flaws has left the bootloader open. On the other hand, they did promise Android 2.2. Not to mention, they advertised that there was a functioning GPS - they NEED to fix that. It's not something that can be let go.
[Epic 4G General] JGeZau:

[Epic 4G General] JGeZau:
I tweeted today at about 3:30pm and just received a reply from @GalaxySsupport

"We are working to make the Android 2.2/Froyo upgrade available to all U.S. Galaxy S owners as soon as possible. Due to the complexity and unique functionality of each Galaxy S device, we are performing additional testing. Samsung feels it is important to make Android 2.2/Froyo upgrade available only after we feel that we can give the millions of U.S. Galaxy S owners a simple and reliable Experience. ^Sabrina"

Anybody else getting similar replies?

[Epic 4G General] OregonLAN:
CTRL+V

That's all your response is...
[Epic 4G General] glen_e:
Everybody is getting pretty much the exact same response.

I really wish Samsung would publicly announce EXACTLY what the issue is.

There's nothing wrong with saying "We are having issues because installing this update results in ________ and we currently have X amount of people working to fix Z," or something of the like. The fact that Samsung is not communicating in a forward, detailed manner leads me (and others) to suspect that this is a political issue more than a product issue.

I recently saw an HD Camcorder on sale at a nearby store, and was actually itching to buy it when I saw the price and features as I had money burning a hole in my pocket; it was an absolute steal! But then, I saw it was a Samsung.

I'm dead serious. I didn't care about how much of a deal it was. I will NOT buy Samsung products unless this current situation reaches a viable resolution that is beneficial to me and other Samsung costumers.

Sometimes, I think that sounds a little selfish, if not overly demanding. However, a timely operating system update for a top-of-the-line product is expected, and absolutely necessary to preserve both the integrity of the product and the company that produces it.

It's like buying a 2010 BMW with a navigation DVD from 2004. That comparison is about right in this instance, as exaggerated as it may seem.

[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Samsung responded to the guy from XDA saying that they are holding out for more money from the carriers by telling some website that they are in fact NOT doing that, and they will update us on the status in the near future.

At this point, I fail to care.

I'm on board, but have switched back to my Evo....but I am still watching here hoping something will finally happen. I have honestly given up on Samsung. As others have said before, we were hoping they would turn around with the Galaxy S line but.....

The Epic is a fantastic phone, but without a working gps, no voice dialing and Samsungs arrogent attitude towards it's costomers......I'm done (maybe, it is a good piece of hardware, minus the obvious). When and if we ever see 2.2.1 on the Epic, and if all issues are resolved, I may go back to it. Samsung needs to start stepping it up! Good luck guys!
[Epic 4G General] dwd3885:
If the EVO had a better camcorder and audio recording, I wouldn't have even thought about the Epic. But I got the Epic last week off ebay and LOVE the device. It just really needs official 2.2. I honestly like the Epic a lot. If the Epic had 2.2, it would be perfect.

Thing is, it was released 3 months AFTER 2.2 and still doesn't have 2.2. It should be getting 2.3 right now.

Samsung Vibrant Froyo Update Coming January 21st
[Fascinate General] s15274n:
I generally stay in the Vibrant section, but was hoping you could help.

I generally remain calm and try and remain upbeat and defend... but the news (rumor/leak) about Samsung holding off the froyo release to sell more phones set me over the edge.

While nothing is confirmed, I still believe Samsung needs to be aware of just how pissed they are making our community. I'm not talking stupid class action, blah blah... I simply want our voice heard, and for a Froyo release to happen ASAP... but beyond that, I want them to adhere to the Open Handset Alliance and release their source for our developers.

http://www.openhandsetalliance.com/

I believe we all now who is going to put out a better product, and right now they (our developers) are handicapped because they do not have everything they need.

That said, we need to be organized!

We need twitter to trend.

To do that, we all need to use the same #hashtag. We also need to threaten something that means something to them... the whole problem is they are not updating to help with their sales (allegedly). Well,

we need to threaten to never buy Samsung again

.

Please use this #Hashtag:

#NeverAgain

would work.... it is easy to use, short and to the point.

An example:

(just copy/paste this if you like)

OR (thanks to @JunkDruggler):

You need to tweet:

@SamsungMobileUS and/or @SamsungTweets

I sent a similar tweet earlier, and they are now following me. THEY ARE LISTENING... MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD!!

I do not use Facebook (wow), BUT, here is a LOT of their information compliments of a post from XDA user AllGamer.

All as the newbie, I want to test to run MKV video on my Galaxy. I was able to copy and run 2.5Gb mkv but having problem copying >5Gb file. I.m using darky 8 and lagfix ext4. From the wiki I understand that ext4 can handle file size up to 16Gb, so what would stop this from copying big file to my galaxy? kernel ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arise:
The lag-fix replaces RFS partitions with ext4 partitions.

The partition you mount and see in Windows is a FAT32 partition, it's not RFS and it's NOT ext4. The max limit for file size on FAT32 is 4GB.

Final Update

: Its with a heavy heart that I bare this news unto all of you.. After 8 hours of struggling, Howard Dean the Second, know to his friends and family as HD2, has passed. To say he was simply HD2 is not enough... He was MY HD2. 4 hours into operation things were grim, but we held our heads high as he sat in front of the fan, hardening his frame and removing the moisture from our eyes. In hour 6, his buttons became stuck, immobilized by the same glue that was to be his savior. And in hour 7, just before he could pull through, the unthinkable happened... He failed to boot. Not a sound.. not a look. Gone. Screen replacement is an almost impossible procedure.. we did our best. You will be missed my friend.

SELLING PARTS HTC LEO FOR PARTS TMOUS RELEASE PM ME!

So I broke my screen, ordered a replacement with digitizer of ebay. Finally arrived today after 3 weeks, and I braced myself for a tough hour or two. It's now been 5 hours and I have the touch screen, lcd and middle piece put together. I decided to go with gorilla glue, which after 4 attempts is being left to dry with glue streaks around the screen (between the touchscreen and lcd). In an previous try at cleaning off the lcd I must have left some moisture on it, because now there is a big spot in the middle of the screen.

I'm not sure how this will look, because it's currently drying and I haven't even tried to put my Leo back together. I guess my question is, whats the best way to try and be rid of this? I already broke the volume ( at least the volume, maybe more) when removing the copper colored opaque stick from the motherboard. If my phones ruined I'm going to be extremely disappointed. I got to play with Android on my hd2 for a whole 10 minutes before it broke.

Any advice would be amazing. Ill update this as well with my findings once my phone is dried and back together. Sigh.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Truaim:
Attempt 6: Buttons were stuck when I went to check on the device. Disassembled and placed correctly, re-glued, and slightly more enraged. I feel the need to wear purple cutoff jean shorts and paint myself green, then proceed to smash everything in sight. Hopefully this doesnt occur.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] red.on.fire:
that really sucks mate. I tried to fix my HD2 as well and failed miserably.

Pretty much everywhere I have read says don't bother getting the digitizer/screen separate. Obviously it costs more to buy the whole screen unit but it is near impossible to get it right if you try and attach the digitizer yourself. Besides, cheaper than a whole new phone

Otherwise, if you still have the receipt try for warranty? I had mine repaired under warranty despite the damage being clearly my fault and a very obvious failed home repair attempt.

Best of luck anyway

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuzzysmallthings:
So far it has been hit and miss when flashing 2.3 ROM's on my Nexus One.

For example I can flash the same ROM but depending on the order maybe I'm usually not getting any data connection icon or anything. It's like it's not there.

But every once and awhile I manage to flash something in the correct order and it appears. I make a backup when this happens and its fine. However if I want to flash any new 2.3 ROM I have to start the guessing game all over.

Can anyone explain what exactly is happening here or how I can get a data connection every time?

Thanks in advance.

I have exactly the same issue! After searching/posting about it on here, and across the WWW in general, i was starting to think i was the only person with this problem.

I'm on Vodafone UK so it's not as if it's a small carrier! Somebody suggested using an App thats available from the Market to backup your apn settings and then use it to re-apply them to the new ROM. I've returned to stock now but if you want to give that a try i'd be interested to hear if it helps.

APN Back & Restore will definitely do the job, I've tried it.

MicroMod777 GB included a Vodafone APN, but I used my backed up one just to be sure.

Be good to know if this works for the OP. I tried the Vodafone apn setting when running the ROM you mentioned but that didn't help. Perhaps the app would have done the trick.

OK I figured out that APN Backup and Restore is a program. Now I have a backup of my APN ... HOWEVER ... Now I have a new problem lol.

How does one go about installing things without some sort of file browser? IS there a work around for this problem?

Am I missing something totally obvious?
