Hey guys,
So wasn't sure if it was worth mentioning (hope it's not a waste of time) of a reply I had from SE when I emailed them to ask how I update software and apps such as office suite without having to purchase them off the android market. The reply was that the only way to update such software is through their own software updates. Then they went on to say that there is a big software update which will add new features will be arriving in Q4.
I asked if this was the android 2.1 update that they proudly announced to customer's would be arriving in Q3? To which i got no response.
Just wanted to give everyone a heads up and tell u not to get too excited about the update being with us in Q3.

I can't tell where you're from but if you emailed support and they said Q4 you're likely from the US. SE is doing a staggered rollout where some parts, likely just Europe, will get it in Q3 while the US will get it in Q4. This is for the unbranded updates of course, for branded updates you'll have to ask the various providers.
SE has made a lot of answers to the update questions on twitters. Before Q3 was the only reply.

I'm so angry, because in my made up fantasy world, Android 2.1 was supposed to be released for the X10 in January 1997.
Can we, for the love of Solid Snake, please stop with the "I DON'T THIENK DAT 2.1 IS COMEING IN Q3, DESPIET HUNDERDSZ OF CONFURRMATIONS SAYYING Q3!" threads?
Like, I assume most of the members of this board are adults, correct? You may have even purchased the phone with your own money. Awesome. Now, let's have intelligent discussion. If you have some sort of irrefutable proof that 2.1 will be delayed, please, bring it up. If all you have is an email with some customer support guy in India who knows nothing except for what's provided to him by Sony, keep it to yourself. Front line customer service reps know far less than you do, because they don't get paid enough to care. If you managed to run into the CEO of SE and he said "Android 2.1 is delayed", that's proof, and please bring it here.
Here's a final question: Why in God's name would they announce 2.1 was coming out in Q4 only to speed it up to Q3 and then delay it back to Q4? Wouldn't it be safer and result in less customer backlash to have just kept it as Q4? It's safe to say that a majority of markets will get 2.1 in Q3. Lesser markets, like say, Antarctica or Canada () will probably get it in Q4.
IM from te UK.
And I guess forums are still fill of people who wanna make users look small and burn them. Cheers for that. That was my 1st post on this forum, and if it's full of idiots like u, it will be my last too.

Totally cool with me. Users that just post topics without checking if there aren't several on the first page on the same subject are usually unneeded.
But, that's flaming. Just look at the threads before you post? Ain't hard.

It just boggles my mind that it wasn't posted in any of the other threads for the same topic. Talk from a customer service rep? We have that thread. Talk about 2.1? There's several.
It's awesome that someone wants to post, and their opinion is always wanted, but, when that opinion is thrown wildly out there without even considering the fact that many people are discussing the topic in other threads it gets to me. Pet peeve. I think what makes it worse is the fact that a new "2.1 is delayed" thread has popped up every single day this week, and all of them were still on the front page of the forum when this was posted.
Anyway, my bad. Just looooooook around before you post!
But when the firts devices are updated and someone uploads the firmware, everyone will be able to flash it, right?
I think they will release it in Canada, before the states. Reason? Theyeant to release it an ecomonomic economy where people can actually afford 2 dollar apps.
Oh snap, oh no he didn't.

"ITC to investigate Apple’s claims of HTC patent theft
By Chris Davies on Friday, Apr 2nd 2010 No Comments Apple’s legal case against HTC – in which they allege the smartphone manufacturer impinged on their intellectual property with various Android and Windows Mobile based handsets – has been green-lighted by the US International Trade Commission (ITC). The decision means that, within the next 45 days, the ITC must announce a date by which it expects to have come to a conclusion over whether HTC did, in fact, infringe Apple patents; if it finds in Apple’s favor, HTC could be forced to block functionality in their devices or even barred from importing them into the US altogether."

Yeah looks like there's no new info in that case. HTC has been in the smartphone game way longer than Apple, even if apple gets a couple of patents in that are enforcable, I'm pretty confident that HTC has several up their sleeve that are just as actionable. That'll most likely end with a draw, but if not then both sides could be losing some serious money on fighting each other.
Poor apple, they need to go put on an ipad before they get their panties all messy.
Woo, if Apple were to actually do this, there would be lotsss of very angry people.

Looks like Microsoft's patent attorneys decided to strike a licensing deal over infringing patents with HTC instead of suing them.

Maybe it is to HTC's advantage to keep it under wraps if it gives them the upper hand with their pending Apple lawsuit.
This whole Apple VS HTC thing does suck, and would be nice to hear some new info on it. But in the end, I dont think it matters to much for us. With the dev's we have in this community. Anything HTC is forced to remove software wise. we all know the dev's will replace or find/make an alternative. If HTC will be hurt hardware wise. Then we have an issue. Also if having the devs add features back into roms will be illegal, we all know we will be able to find them on another forum that doesn't care about the content posted.
WHAT YOU GUYS WHO GAVE NEGATIVE COMMENTS HAVE DONE SO FAR?
AT LEAST I HAVE TRIED TO BE A 5-YEARS-OLD KIT TO TELL SE MY WISH.
Hi all,
Few days ago,I left a comment on the SE product blog,realating to the "8mb file" on the SE developers.com and a SE support engineer emailed me and it probably shows that SE KNOWS NOTHING OF OUR CUSTOM ROM??
Perhaps he is pretending.....
Here is the email and my reply and I am trying to persuade SE releasing the bootloader.

Well he's definitely going to think twice about what he replies (if he even replies) now that you've posted his email for the whole world to see... you should have waited for his reply first
Ummm...you were sent an email because they thought you were a dev and wanted to give some light dev support; not read you rant about our gripes with SE. The enlarged bolded red font also makes you look like an immature idiot. Would it have killed you just to answer the questions?
Btw. TAKE OUT HIS FREAKING EMAIL ADDRESS. Seriously, wtf man.
Oh wow and not only that you specifically name people at xda developers andxda-developers as an entitt. that really makes us look mature so sony ericsson
Well done youve just helped this sight lose some of credibility
I'll be honest here, I wouldn't bother to answer your email if I were him. First of all your email shows the immaturity of your writing. Second of all, you are asking the wrong questions to the wrong guy. He is just a support engineer who took the time and tried to help you with your question ( the first one only ), he doesn't know about SE future plans, even if he does, do you think that he is stupid enough to give you answers so you can come here and expose them?
Come on get serious man
This is so stupid man... how old are you? like 5 yrs old? Come on..

+1 on the delete thread request. I see that the original poster has hidden his email address from the pictures of the email, but has not afforded the same courtesy to the SE Dev who was going out of his way to try to help.

What was your intention when posting this? You didn't even wait for his answer. All I see here is a dumb kid trying to show off what little knowledge he has. Why would you attempt to embarrass this developer when his only mistake was having the professional courtesy to answer your question in the first place? I know what I'd do if I was him. I'd call your parents and ask them to teach you some manners.
Do you think Samsung FINALLY HEARD OUR VOICES and bent under the cloud of losing market share (what I think) or what. Thank you either way,
Please feel free to express your thoughts here about the recent release of the source code and SamgsungJohn---
Thanks to XDA for providing a conduit to samsung , and thanks to the staff for helping all of us in the forum address the poor treatment we received from Samsung.
Thanks to SamsungJohn (albeit way late) reaching out to us, and at least acknowledging the superior development here is not a threat but an asset.
Thanks to all the people here pulling together to pressure a Big Corporation to respond to our calls to release the open source code (as required by the open source licensing agreement)
Thanks- ALL
The thing is, how can a major company like Samsung, take so many missteps?? Things like this is what they should have done in the beginning. They're slowing correcting their mistakes, but it certainly wont be forgotten. (I never had a Behold 2 so I do not know of that fiasco)
behold2 wasnt really a fiasco unless you were an impulse buyer.
if you did your homework before making a purchase you never would have bought one..
Was source released because of SamsungJohn? I missed that part.
I didn't think SamsungJohn actually did anything and then he just went away when we asked him questions.
It was also my understanding that source was released because they were obligated to - not because they wanted to show us some love.
Is there some information somewhere I'm missing?

I agree that I don't think this was SamsungJohn's doing. However we need to give the guy some slack. He may not have approached things in the best way. But he is still learning and hopefully will come up with a good way to be the liaison between community and Samsung.
samsungjohn is the face of samsung trying to make up for what everyone has been *****ing about for so long.
why are all of you ****ting on him?
i doubt it was one man that said "ok lol give them source kekeke" but he's the one that is trying to mend all the wounds with the SGS device owners that post on XDA. i can only assume the first attempt went wrong as the thread is deleted now.
i would imagine it looked smiliar to the SGS/Tmobile facebook fan pages where anytime anything is posted, it ends up with 5000 people saying "**** you samsung/tmobile where is my froyo" by a bunch of idiots that wouldnt know the difference between 2.2 and 1.6, other than the number is 0.6 higher.
a lot of you guys are being ****ing crybabies now, even though the devs now have what they need to get 2.2 100% stable.
not to mention the fact we have a voice now that could get GB on our phones faster than ever.

Not totaly true at all. The forums had a lot of promise but samsung didn't deliever on promises. I checked that forum before I bought mine. There was a dev that did amazing work so I bought one. When he gave up so did I.
He was known as BHMan aka eugene373
Did you guys notice on his twitter feed that he is a Social Media Analyst (aka, how many people are pissed at us counter) /Developer (what has he developed?)...
How can you work in social media and not know how to Direct Message?? Did you guys see the tweets with @Supercurio.... John had completely forgotten all of the really useful information @supercurio had sent him, and has shown nothing he has developed.... he didn't even know how to DM??? REALLY???
Sorry, but if you are on the @SamsungJohn train, you WILL be sadly let down. He is just trying to help with the rage we threw at Samsung. All they had to do was release Froyo/Source in a reasonable time and NONE of this would have been an issue.
It's funny to me that you guys expect something to come from this guy, who just appeared, and has done absolutely nothing to date.

fine, be negative, lol, whatever you want.
^^ Right, but the point is, a lot of people did buy the phone..... and they got F'd by Samsung who did nothing to support that phone.
I'm not being negative when I say not to expect anything from this John guy. Source was released, that's all we needed. I'm all for having a Samsung person who is really going to help.... I just don't see this going anywhere right now. I would LOVE to be wrong. I also hope future updates/source are taken more seriously by Samsung. Too good of hardware to lose customers due to support.

I'd be homeless.......... that is reality...... too bad they have different rules to play by and we just get to be the ping-pong ball
Isn't Samsung obligated to release the source code to their enhancements under the GPL?
I understand why they might be averse to doing that... but if they have a problem with it then they should switch to different OS for their devices.
I guess I have problems congratulating a company on doing what they are supposed to do.

I agree 100% but in business you learn to thank people for what they were supposed to do like it was something special.......... unfortunately that is the way it is............sucks but true
If you want more information on this topic please visit the new, redone, 'We Need Your Support' thread at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1427969
We have gotten no news of any kind of update for our Samsung Vibrants. No Gingerbread update, not even a small 2.2.1 update, and I honestly believe that's just plain wrong. This has nothing to do with this phone being too slow or too old to run Gingerbread, heck.. it can even run Ice Cream Sandwich. And before you stop reading, no.. this isn't one of those threads that is just posted to complain, we have to do something about this. Maybe some people don't care for an update, maybe some don't understand what an actual OFFICIAL update could do for us users and devs. The lack of support for this device from both T-Mobile and Samsung has been horrible. Ask a representative from T-Mobile about an update, they'll say; Oh, It's coming.. Samsung is working on it. Ask a representative from Samsung about an update, they'll say; It's being worked on.. no ETA. So now, either both of the companies are clueless of their own product, and honestly don't know what is going on, or they just won't give us a straight.. 'No, you won't be getting an update.' which I think is dumb. I got hooked on Android because of it's openness, the support and the community. One of the only major updates that we got was through KIES, it wasn't even OTA. Maybe most of you don't care, but T-Mobile and Samsung should do right by us. I don't care about getting the latest and the greatest, I honestly would respect both Samsung and T-Mobile more if they gave us a straight answer.
So, what I'm asking is.. please help us by signing this petition and spreading the link wherever you can, because we have the power to fight this, we have the numbers and we can do it. This phone isn't super old, it's one of the best phones I've owned. Samsung did a great job with it, but that gives them no reason to stop supporting it. I got this on a two year contract, they should atleast support it for two years, and simply because it's in the Android spirit.
Link here: http://www.change.org/petitions/bri...-s-varients-samsungt-mobile-give-us-an-update
Please feel free to spread it on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, anywhere you see fit! If we get some headline news on Android blogs and sites, that'd be great, too!
Samsung and T-Mobile, we need an answer.
Will be signing this petition in the morning.
signed, guys common we need ALL of the vibrant members to do this.
Why do they need our address...I'll sign, but I'm worried about that only.

just put something random down thats nearby.
I agree, but use US adresses. This phone US only.
I think we should write about the situation in each posts in all official T-mobile Facebook, Google+, .... pages.
People need to know about T-mobile poor support and poor attitude to customers.

Some i9000 users have helped us out.
But like I said, keep posting, tweeting it, sharing it.
It's our turn to get something.
Great idea! I hope this will make a difference.
Signed. Really hoping we get somewhere, but won't be putting any money on it
signed and sent the link to galaxy s twitter account..they should also know what is going on
Just signed it. Also, someone should contact neobuddy89 and ask him put a link to this petition in his ICS Passion v9.1 ROM thread. If that were done then this petition will gain a lot more recognition from the community because so many people visit that thread daily.

So that the petition system is not abused maybe?
Fake addresses that do not match the name may harm our chances.

Samsung started since December the development of Android 4.2.1 updates Galaxy S III #SGS3 #NoteII

Waiting for first leaks... let's hope they do more than just put old tw **** to new android 4.2.1, current tw framework needs lots of optimization.
They must really make improvements on Touchwiz, RAM management, and deep sleep..
I am having a bad time with these stuffs.
I really loved the phone when i had it during the 4.0.4 time..
but now, i am regretting it..
hope i start loving this gadget again..

Jup, the 4.0.4 time was really great, I´m sorry but 4.1.1 really was crap and 4.1.2 is ok. I hope 4.2.1 will run as good as 4.0.4 or better :laugh:

well, even if you can't believe.. you can just imagine..
Galaxy s3 was one of the flagship devices.. and 4.2 jellybean has been over a month old for now.. it's obvious that every company will be working on an update.. especially for a device like this.. plus, Samsung will be waiting to get rid of these bugs.. so many lags in the current firmwares..

I know we will get it, but it takes time to get a rom working with Samsung bloatware so I expect a little longer.

FYI, Sammobiles were the one who mentioned first about 4.1.2 roms which had multi view, it's better to have some respect instead of unwanted hatredness towards them at least they are accurate when it comes to rom related info...

Sorry for asking sources.. Please don't start world war.
By the time they will release it, Google will probably release a new version of Android.

What I have seen of Sammobile is they take rumours, decide if they are likely to happen, then their "sources" (who remain nameless every time they are mentioned) tell them and no one else, not even the large companies that could pay them for tip offs (if it's legal) then spam twitter with "look who called it"
Their pages are full of blatant typos either written by a kid, or someone who's first language is not English, (then what are they doing typing in English?) or the just don't bother to proof read articles.
They spam twitter with messages like "1 million members" "1 million members" "the biggest Samsung community" This is when they force people to regester to download roms from their site, so it's meaningless.
They are biased, whilst some people could understand no serious news site is biased.
They use extremely slow download methods, annoying users refusing to offer any alternatives to what they make money off.
All of this shows an amateur attempt to be a serious Samsung news site, who offer rom downloads.

Totally unrelated to the thread topic. Fan site or news site, their previous info regarding new android rom was trustable, so nothing wrong in believing the info regarding 4.2 roms. either it is leaked, rumour or whatever we have some info, so let's talk about what to expect with 4.2 roms not about the mentioned info.

Your English isn't all that good either.
English is the most widely spoken language in the world. They probably just want to reach a bigger audience. Don't hate on grammar. No one's perfect.

Except I aren't trying to make a serious news website so I don't care. If you are posting news about anything you should be checking grammar and spelling.
I'm not saying they should be perfect just one person writes something and another checks it to make sure there are no obvious mistakes.
How often do you see typos in BBC articles?
