Not sure about you guys but I only use twitter for news/tech updates.
Since a twitter account doesn't exist for galaxy s updates I figured I would make one.
https://twitter.com/TheGalaxyS
I'll be trying to keep up to date with all the galaxy s news and post updates as often as I can.
The updates I will post will be about application tweaks, firmware updates, rom news, sim unlock etc...
Updates will include all of the galaxy s phones.
Galaxy S I9000, Vibrant, and the Captivate.
If there are updates that i've either missed or you think they're very important, just tweet back at me, or email [email protected]
Pretty sure Samsung Mobile has this covered, but the more the better
link?
I'm sure there are a lot of things that samsung can't post for legal reasons.
Are you 12? If so this is really cute. If not, this is kinda sad...

whys it sad?
because I'm using twitter?
I love being able to check twitter and see small news updates for various things, its like a more customizable RSS feed.
There wasn't one so I made one...its nice being able to see if the galaxy s has been unlocked without having to check the site daily.

I applaud you for being an ass to someone that is trying to help out the community.
Good idea OP. Samsung won't be tweeting about hacks and tweaks in their Twitter so I'm glad you will keep up with this.
OP, if you'll keep me updated on larger-scale ROM news (like CM finding its way to the Vibrant/Captivate), Galaxy S firmware updates, and the like without spamming me, I will gladly follow you and set your updates to go to my phone as well.
I find myself mainly reading this forum because I'm waiting for a custom ROM or FroYo to pop out on the Vibrant before I buy one.

thats what I'm waiting for, that and sim unlock.
And you don't have to worry about getting 'spammed' by me.
I don't care about gaining followers at all, I just figured that there are a lot of other people looking for the same things as me.
Great idea! Thanks!

Yeah, that one post was extreme.
I should have read the op closer last night, didn't see the other things mentioned.
I assume you follow cyanogen, wes, and the whole crew to get updated yourself?
I went to see Inception last night (WOW), so, my brain was not 100% here.

Does anyone here even care ANYMORE? It will prolly be a downgrade
compared to what we have now anyway with a bunch of flaws
just like our 2.1's in the beginning. Look what the devs have made
for us and APPRECIATE it. Start a thread after you have compiled
AOSP or find someone who has....I THINK MORE THAN A FEW OF
US WOULD REALLY LOVE TO SEE THAT POST........this isnt
twitter, and most of here arent morons. So if YOU know it, you
can probably bet WE do too...FYI
Be warned.
People here do not like these rumors showing up on this forum.
They will have it removed.
I know. Happened to me.
Yet when the date was March 26th, no one had them removed.
This forum needs one of those setups where when you starting creating a thread the forum searches for keywords and gives you options of threads that have already been created before creating the thread. Ive seen it done before. They should implement something like that since no one likes to or knows how to use the search feature.
Can we please stop posting on speculated dates and wait until this *actually * comes to fruition?
Waste of time to even post on this.
you spin me right round baby right round, like a record baby right round right round.....
I was bored so I e-mailed them and told them people may believe it more if they used a picture of a "Sprint HTC Hero"

we got 2.1, the only good that can come of this is the brillant dev's here taking the crap sprint dishes out and making something truly awesome. Which is really hard to imagine since DC's current rom is pretty dam on the money, at least for me anyway.
I propose that the next person to post that link be banned.
Ya I would only care from one of these if it was an OFFICAL date from sprint. and then I would just blow it off anyway and continue using my Rom like nothing happened

I think the post is accurate, it does say HTC Hero roll out April 16th FOR Europe though “Nordic/Greek/RUS/UKR/SA” regions. They say it will trickle down to Sprint which will most likely be April 30th which sounds pretty close.
I could've sworn this was a discussion forum about the development of the CDMA Hero. Weird.
I must be lost because these people don't want to know any of the news (which does often include rumors).

actually they are teasing with us. they just dont bother their sorry ass to give a proper release date. they just dont even care about to give out an spesifications about the new system. nothing. just some fake news also new screenshots could be fake too. we simply dont know anything about new update. 4 example is the new crappy youtube app staying? what about horrible keyboard?
it just could be stupid update without any new features. also it could be something revolutionary like eclair. but we already knew them BEFORE the eclair released. were just waiting for google's jokes if whole gingerbread is just about some stupid skin and stuff.

Please tell me english isn't your native language, I'll totally understand then. Anyhow Google have 0 commitment to providing us with pre-release info. It's *UNRELEASED* therefore they could deny the existence of GB itself and are completely within their right to do so. These little bits of info like not so secretive tweets are just a bit of fun, surely I'm not the only one who likes the suspense/surprise regarding the lack of GB info?
EDIT: Well, some will say this effort had no impact, others will not be so naive and realize the voices of MANY of you were heard. Really applaud everyone... regardless if it helped or not, Samsung has stated that they have heard us AND that it's something they are not used to, but will make an effort... I feel like this is success.
OTA should start tomorrow. Source should be released very shortly after that:

THANK YOU ALL FOR HELPING!!!
For those not certain why this thread was created: PLEASE READ
--------------------------------INITIAL POST BELOW------------------------
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 AND we need to spread it all over Facebook! I am ignorant and have no interest in learning Facebook. I know the majority of you use it daily so I am going to rely on you guys for that!
To do this on twitter, 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)
[email protected] & @Samsungtweets I will never buy a Samsung product after the way you've treated your customers. #NeverAgain

Sent from the helm of Vibrant Territory!
Awesome, please do what you can people... the whole point is to be organized, make it trend on twitter and Samsung will be forced to respond. Maybe that is why I am so upset, they have not made any effort to debunk these rumors.
I personally am tired of defending them...
Do u suggest I keep saying it or just like once a day?
to be most effective, I think you should post this is all US galaxy s variant forums. Fascinate, Epic, Captivate, and the other one or two. Get all US Galaxy S users to do this too!
btw, i dont have a twitter account or have ever used it. any suggestions on how to post your message once i create a twitter account?
EDIT: i just set up a twitter account, how do i post that hashtag to samsung?
Creating an account is super easy (and the best way to keep up with our developers). Once you have the account created, just PM me if you need help.... you could just copy/paste what I have in the OP if you like.
#NeverAgain... waiting for a dual core HTC on TMO then dumping the vibrant...
I would never ever imagine this coming from you but you actually did a pretty good thread. I don't think it would make diffrence, people aren't going to follow up, XDA is a small portion of all samsung phones.
Like someone said samsung is known for their eletronics that are release as is, no follow up update. As big as they are they become greedy. Its a company out out for money, "making a new phone with new software" will get the most sales.
If they give us froyo now it will drop their new phone sales dramactecly (spelling). Because an old phone will be cheaper then a new phone The vibrant 4G isnt really a big update besides the FFC and HSPA+. Thereby the orignal vibrant.will get.bought.
Another thing to think about is when the vibrant 4G/plus gets out we will not get froyo right away, maybe a month after.

Wrong section.
But yeah, at least the gs family looks like it will all get gingerbread.
Usually if its pertaining to Froyo/GB people don't mind seeing it in here. Hell, most people only view this subforum of the Fascinate and not general or any others. But you're right.
I feel like the Epic and Vibrant will get it in a few months, and then 25 years later Captivate, Mesmerize, Fascinate.

I don't see how it'd be ironic if Samsung is first.
Google worked with them to release Gingerbread on some hardware that was only slightly different from the rest of their phones... They had an experience, resource, and time advantage over every other carrier... and yet they failed.
That's ironic. Samsung had every advantage, and yet couldn't even freaking get Gingerbread out on their flagship product before someone else. Seems like more motivation to me to avoid any future Samsung products.
And yeah, where to post things seems pretty obvious to me: Any discussion thread, where we're just talking about various random things go in General, questions go in Q&A, and actual releases (or things closely related to development... random questions about a ROM wouldn't warrant a new thread) go in Development. Posting things in the wrong section just to get more eyes seems fairly silly to me... if people aren't reading General, it's probably because they aren't interested in those things, probably only wanting actual ROMs/kernels/etc. Then again, making any comment on this topic seems to be a good way to get people to just flame you.

Here is hoping they end up including the variants. That said, it was my understanding that the delay in getting Froyo on the Vibrant had as much to do with T-Mobile as with Samsung. If nothing else, an official ICS release with a new kernel for the i9000 could mean better custom ROMs for the variants. Right?

I am not one to spread propaganda or high hopes, but this one looks like it may just happen given time will tell.

We tmobile vibrants have not gotten gingerbread yet! so for them to spit out dreams of ics to us.... danger danger lies ahead!
But we do need to keep the squeaky wheels turning so sign the petitions tweet the "we need gingerbread for vibrants"

For anyone that cares; http://www.change.org/petitions/sam...ile-give-us-gingerbread-or-ice-cream-sandwich
Spread the link around! Post it on Team Whiskey's Facebook page and ICS Passion's, Google +, Twitter, porn sites! Anywhere.
I will sign this and put this on comment every time t mobile post something on the Facebook. The more of you guys can do this, the more attention it will get from t mobile. May be we will never have gingerbread but at least t mobile owes us an explanation.

Did you make that? Thanks if you did.
Signed it, and i think we should make a bit more viral on these forums than just one post in a random thread.
Can anyone do it? or should I just do it now.. if a good "speech" comes to mind i'll make a thread.
Also to whoever made that, are we asking for GB or ICS? lol

Indeed, I made it.
I just said we wanted an update, either Gingerbread or ICS.
I'll write up a thread now.
Signed but I don't have high hopes at all...

For a couple months now everytime "tmobile or samsung" put out some tweet like "invite your friends to tmobile or what would you like for the holidays..or any number of inane tweets they put out"
I have been working into the retweet with comments along the lines of ;
...give the vibrant gingerbread!..#shameonsamsung #boycottsamsung
invite your friends to tmobile "why so you can screw them like you did the vibrant owners!..give the vibrant gingerbread!..#shameonsamsung #boycottsamsung
Tmobilejohn actually replied back to my friends one...
Any ways the point is to work into the retweets the basics "give vibrant gingerbread".
And if its true that tmobile had more than a passing hand in the decline of gingerbread for the vibrant I will gladdly pay the ETF and tell them where to stuff it!
We need to complain till they cant stand it anymore!
