[Fascinate General] tps784@yahoo.com:
With froyo out now for the fascinate does the phone show that it has 512 of ram?
[Fascinate General] adambobbyburgers:
No; a new OS isn't going to change the amount of ram. Task Manager still shows 336 MB, Quadrant shows 347072 KB (338.93 MB)
[Fascinate General] tps784@yahoo.com:
is the phone at a loss without 512 ram? I have a droid incredible, I would like a bigger screen.
[Fascinate General] adambobbyburgers:
Not necessarily. The phone technically has 512 MB, but only 384 is useable; the other 128 MB serves as the dedicated graphics memory. So it's basically give/take: you give some memory up for a better, dedicated GPU.
[Fascinate General] charleypark:
why is this in the development section?
[Fascinate General] sonofskywalker3:
Because nobody reads or understands the rules
[Fascinate General] adambobbyburgers:
I agree. But aren't there mods to take care of these situations? Seems like they are non-existent...
[Fascinate General] sonofskywalker3:
oh they exist. one jumped right in and locked my rom topic when I posted about the vip exclusive 48 hour early release. there's just too few of them and too many topics in the wrong section on every board on this site for them to handle.

That's why it would be smart to make local mods, make people who actually use a board mod that board only.

As I have noticed 1 or 2 game apps requesting access to "Phone calls - read phone state and identity"

any good news
[Vibrant General] lordmalice:
if you are truely part of samsung id have to say samsung dropped the ball on the vibrant 4g not having internal sd or the nexus s not having ext sd its like yall got confused there the biggest sale points for me was internal storage and nice screen but now i have switched over to htc i own a mytouch 4g and am very happy with it probably wont come back to samsung after having only samsung phones for along time
[Vibrant General] eunkipark92:
ehat do u mean no internal on vibrant 4g...it has 16gb just like vibrant 3g... mytouch have have like 2-3gb internal after all the stuffs they havd on my touch 4g

So John, what's this big news about??

And what XDA users had meetings with you? I know supercurio was contacting Samsung Korea (via Twit), and who else?

Also, why is it that your other thread you've started was closed down? Were you banned? Are you fake?
[Vibrant General] shreddintyres:
well if you continued to read the other thread Krylon confirmed he was real in addition the other thread was getting out of hand and away from his point. Im fairly certain he started this thread to make sure his reply didnt get completely buried.

We appreciate efforts to answer our complaints with Samsung, but adding teasers about a "Huge Announcement " after 6 months of corporate neglect....... does not instill a "Warm and Fuzzy"..........I am pretty sure you understand our unhappiness with the Treatment we have Received from Samsung... et al......

It's like a Joke...... even Boost mobile and Metro pay as you go phones get 2.2 updates long before we do...........

But we are open to the MAGNANIMOUS OFFERING that is about to be bestowed on us and wait patiently for its arrival:cool::)

[Vibrant General] richiehd:
If Kry says he's legit, he's legit. I wanna throw my guess to the big announcement-I think that they will not only release source but will have Vanilla android builds for those not wanting to wait for Touchwiz customizations (w/bloat obviously).
[Vibrant General] strictlyrude27:
Gingerbread?

Now THAT would be an announcement.

One can dream.
[Vibrant General] Arkasai:
Cant wait for the announcement, dont wanna get my hopes up but I hope it has to do with our favorite 's' word.

Again its funny and embarassing to see xda members direct thier complaints at you like you're some magic man that will end the nights they cry themselves to sleep over Samsung's mobile strategy. We appologize for them.
[Vibrant General] Homeless2:
I am a bit skeptical about this announcement since user complaints seem to have fallen on deaf ears for a number of months. However, I hope this will really be something substantial that will sway myself and many other users towards purchasing samsung phones again instead of holding up #neveragain signs. If samsung would be willing to fix my GPS on my vibrant that would be amazing.
[Vibrant General] jamesd86:
The vanilla builds would be awesome. Here's to hoping.
[Vibrant General] Jayrod1980:
An announcement as to if and when T-Mobile gets a galaxy 2 is what I would like to know. The vibrant 4g is the phone the vibrant should have been out of the gate 6 months ago but I think that was probably tmobiles decision. We probably could have had the international version if tmobile had asked for it. My concern is that if they are getting the 4g version vibrant at the end of this month then its going to be a fairly long time if ever that we get the full featured galaxy 2.

[Vibrant General] presence06:
It's "coming... soon". :rolleyes:
[Vibrant General] PaiPiePia:
I get the feeling that the announcement is the release of the official 2.2 source. I mean it fit with the spirit of XDA, hacking and tweaking. Also, John mentioned he read XDA, so I don't think it's too much of a stretch since people have been asking for the source for a while now.
[Vibrant General] ELStiko:
Kind of hard to release a 4G phone when there isn't a 4G network. At that point all Tmobile will get are complaints on how they released a 4G phone without a 4G network. Either way people will whine.
[Vibrant General] n2ishun:
I personally think this @slambungjohn clown is a **** drizzle.

FREE BULGOGI and KIA TEST DRIVES FOR ALL GALAXY S OWNERS.

Bring your Vibrant to the nearest Kia dealership and you will get a plate of bulgogi and be allowed to test drive a Kia Rio on an autocross course!

Drivers who put in a top time will get a beta code for Starcraft 2!

I kid! I kid! (but if you are offering bulgogi then I'll take it! That stuff is yummy!)
[Vibrant General] 1eyedjack:

[Vibrant General] swehes:
I agree with some people here. @SamsungJohn nothing against you personally. But in my world Action speaks louder than Words and Samsung have not provided much action on their current users behalf. Many empty words however.

I also agree with people that the carrot of "coming soon" is not necessarily a good way to play with as people are still quite upset with Samsung after their "Here is your Froyo update now please be quiet" upgrade without giving us the source code at the same time.

Would rather hear about a froyo source release for our phone than a official froyo release to be honest. Our devs do way better work with source than what samsung would release as official froyo. Look at the amazing work that noobl has done without source for froyo and we have an awesome dev that even has released work of an miui port (which I am most excited for coming from an htc incredible with a fully working port).

Samsung John, thank you so much for making a connection with the people at XDA and being less transparent with the end user. However even if you are coming out with an announcement, could we have at least an eta. After a while of hearing nothing but coming soon, something along the lines of coming in a month, 6 weeks, 2 weeks, whatever would be much appreciated with any announcement. I am not even talking about froyo, I am talking about anything in general. But again thank you for coming and creating this channel with XDA.
[Epic 4G General] rygran87:
I'm curious what the announcement could be... Perhaps a confirmation of rumors we've heard/read this month? If so, no offense but... Yawn!!!!!! Not that official FroYo wouldn't be nice, because that means source to follow. I just think it would be rediculous to collaborate with XDA just for that. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! Announce something more worthwhile than "FroYo is being released for the Epic within the next week!"
[Epic 4G General] Top Nurse:
What sounds good to me is if we just get a running dialogue going in regard to source code the day a phone goes roll out. Samsung lettin loose on the biggest test bed in the world woul most certainly get them some crazy ideas for following updates (a win win for everyone).

Are we getting free replacement for our epics with a new galaxy S-2 or

at least skip froyo and get the honey, what's cooking big out there better be

something bigger then 2.2 that we already kind of have it.
[Epic 4G General] rygran87:
Ok so if you do some searching through samsungjohn's threads, XDA member, supercurio, made reference to a proposal that was made to samsung korea. He seemed to be urging them to share new versions of android with our developers. He states that doing so would increase brand loyalty, help get faster releases of bug free versions via mass beta testing and 3rd party development on said releases. I REALLY REALLY hope that Samsung USA does this. I think I'd be a solid Samsung Mobile consumer if we saw this collaboration.
[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
I completely agree,this could be a very good thing for Samsung and XDA...

I hope Samsung has come to the conclusion that the devs and the Android following is growing into a serious force. I know we influence alot of people around us,I have gotten atleast 15 people to jump to Samsung/Android... The impact an open communication between XDA devs and Samsung could prove to be historical in the Android movement. I cant wait to see what we can do together,and cant wait to see the influence you may or may not have with what happens in the final decision of anything that benefits XDA and Samsung owners.

[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Yes he is real, he has been verified by XDA mods and he has posted via Samsung Twitter..not to mention he put up some pics...anything else you need as proof?

Edit: oh and if you still don't believe it he said he'll be at a convention where you can meet him.

Anyways I hope supercurio's proposal works out..my only concern is how the carriers would view it..For example, we all want to have Samsung Kies and TV-out..but the carriers don't want us to have it :(
[Epic 4G General] rygran87:
Really? This would be 100 times better than official OTA 2.2.1! Think about it: Full source code/driver disclosure. TRUE open source. I just fail to see how the possibility of a Sammy/XDA merger doesn't excite you even a little bit.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
I don't think we are going to get driver disclosure...thats proprietary technology in there :/...would be REALLY nice but I doubt it..
[Epic 4G General] rygran87:
This could provide a workaround for these stupid issues. Carriers have nerfed our devices so badly by withholding or disabling these features.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
But see here is the thing..the carriers don't want us to have these...while its possible to have samsung help us with source and testing betas..I doubt they can assist with things the carriers ASKED samsung to lock...

we have to find a middle ground where us the consumers, the carriers and samsung is happy..we won't get everything we want but it'll be way more then what we have now...
[Epic 4G General] dreamsforgotten:
I could be wrong but I dont think carriers ask Sammy to lock anything. In the case of the Captivate, att locked the option to install non market apps while the rest of us have the option. On the other hand the Captivate has a menu option for tv out (dont think it works but the menu is there. So the carriers get the source and lock down features as they see fit. Opening the doors between us and Samsung directly gives us the freedom to bypass Sprint code and use the true samsung source before "carrier corruption"and given Sprint is dead set on implementing Sprint ID in the future if this its what Samsung is proposing, we couldn't ask for more.
[Epic 4G General] rygran87:
Did they ask? Or did they take it out in house? We have the hardware. If they asked Samsung to lock it, why not remove the hardware and save some cash in parts. Idk how it was done, but that simply doesn't sound right. I agree that it will probably be something where everyone is happier in the end. But there's no harm in hoping for a little more.

Froyo coming isn't worth making this much of a splash.

It wouldhave to be something worthwhile.

There's no need to get excited over an obligatory update considering it was to be released "soon" over the last 7ish months
[Epic 4G General] magoo5289:
Call me jaded but I tend to agree. I highly doubt it is Froyo as many are speculating. That would come from Sprint. Who knows, maybe it is a GB release to Sprint and they've just decided to skip Froyo. Would certainly save Dev time for them, which equals money.

Then again, it may be like sprint's latest announcment on their PSP phone. and we all know how well that went. lol

Either way, I welcome the transperency and having a conduit for our frustrations.

[Epic 4G General] Ex0d0s:
sounds good!.... [back to reality] Samsung would have to give Gingerbread to every single US carrier. Samsung has already released Froyo to the Vibrant variants. Why would they skip the Epic's Froyo release and not the rest?
[Epic 4G General] phdeez:
Thinking the same thing... We can all hope to hit the lottery, but this is just another ticket. All the other tickets (promises) were losers.

No way would a manufacture GIVE AWAY upgraded hardware, think of having to replace the 5mil handsets in the US! OUCH!
[Epic 4G General] abrognlie:
As great as source or drivers would be, I think we all need to take a step back and remember we would never get those without Sprint's explicit support, which seems to be lacking here. The only sources we will continue to get are those Sprint signs off on, which will only happen with the official releases.
