My Answer:
Samsung release the source code to us but don't let us change anything.
Or do they just have to release the source code as its GPL?

There is nothing weird about not providing warranty for software that isn't theirs. The hardware is still theirs though, and they should still provide warranty on said hardware.
I have personally encountered issues regarding the same thing with HTC though. In that case, they actually claimed it was the software that damaged the hardware (apparently, HardSPL is bad-ass enough to physically break the digitizer). I had a lawyer look into it, and at least in my country, this practise is illegal - and I would guess the same thing goes for all of EU. However, succesfully fighting it would be much more expensive than the phone is.
Go & buy a DROID/DROID X phone and try hacking its bootloader (which is quite impossible)...
Samsung phones are considered as a picnic in comparison.

I am not complaining about the fact, that Samsung wants to refuse warranty if the device is rooted.
I think the Galaxy S got easier rooted than the Nexus One, since it accepted unsigned update.zips on 2.1 with stock firmware. That was really nice of Samsung in difference to HTC with their two new models..
I'm complaining about the "fact" that it seems as if Samsungs' developers waste their time with develping their ****ty rfs filesystem, different launcher versions for every galaxy model etc.
Cbeck rooted phone just by app's icon?
Next,someone need to change the icon to Angry Birds icon.
Better way to check is by using adb.
adb shell
$ su
# id
......
These instructions were intended for Samsung's Tier 1 representatives. you think that they know how to run ADB?...
fr4gg0r - my point is that if Samsung really wanted us to stay away from software modding, they would have acted like Motorola, and encrypted the ass of the sgs.
Yeah they're probably cool with it, obviously they don't want to replace peoples phones for free because of it though.
I'm sceptical that that's even real. The English is absolutely dreadful!

Which smacks of total authenticity to me...go read some other Samsung documentation, or hell, just wake the phone up from sleep and see:
"Sweep screen to unlock"
LOL didnt realise but you are right! 'sweep'!!
hahaha never though of it!
This is normal practice, and there are PLENTY of good reasons for doing this:
1) Firstly, you'll notice it says "if it causes instability". As root, you have permission to wipe important system files. It's unfair for Samsung to be forced to pay when the problem is entirely your fault.
2) You can wipe /efs easily
3) There have been cases of new kernel drivers bricking devices on PC's (such as an Intel networking adapter in the linux kernel)
4) With root access, you can trash the bootloader with mere commands
5) 3rd party programs suddenly have permission to do all these things, and trojans can trash the system easier.
It's fair to do, and remember, many embedded devices have similar policies.
^ mm it's all pretty obvious stuff. You would hope they don't use this as a reason not to fix hardware faults though.
And, sweep does *sort of* make sense.
lol samsung is a bunch of tards

Nothing wrong with saying sweep screen to unlock.
This announcement is news? Seriously? Everyone seriously thought that manufacturers were cool with you rooting the phone and getting access to the system files and stuff?

If they had made a fully functional phone then i guess we don't have to screw around with it. The problem was created by them guess the guys here are just rooting their phone and adding fixes to make it usable. I for one would have smashed my phone if not for fixes offered in this forum.

Personal warning I'll also include AppsPlanet into those list if I were you.
Note that, since everyone on Nexus S is presumably running at least Android 2.3, the vulnerability those apps exploited is already patched, rendering the malicious code ineffective. It's only people with older OS versions that need to be concerned. Yet another argument for taking responsibility for software updates out of the hands of manufacturers and carriers.

So, fragmentation actually helps some of us
Google needs to fix this and adopt a similar process like Apple does. I try to be careful when downloading stuff, but there are many, many people out there who are not tech savy and this can be a large problem down the line. Piracy is another issue they need to fix. Has Google ever found a way to stop people from downloading an app, backing it up to SD card or PC, and then requesting a refund? If they haven't, they need to immediately.

there's something along the line in regards to DEV protection about that.
It basically lets you only refund it once! for the lifetime of your Google account
so any app that you refunded once, you will not be able to refund it again the second time
which basically will prevent you from ever upgrading to a new version, even if you did rip them off once.
there are updates to your installed google apps like once a week, or once a day depending on the developers
the worse ones EA for example are aprox once a month upgrades
it's extremely annoying to not be able to update the apps, you always get annoyed about new apps alerts if you don't update.
so i always make sure all my apps are legit, so that i can use the UPDATE ALL button without having to manually update each app independently
wow here we go !
Luckily I don't download every app. Especially those that use the word sexy.

But those are the best ones!
Thanks for the heads up. Thankfully I didn't download any of those. To the point of the android app market becoming like apple, I'd resist that. Freedom is why I stopped using my iPhone and got a nexus s
most of these apps sound like porn anyway so who ever downloaded should have a virus or whatever the case may be. use your computer lol not your precious android.
not all of them, there are many legit apps and "useful" apps that were hacked, and then injected with the trojan, then release back to the market for free
like PewPew for example it's a legit game, but this is a fake version that works too, or too well, as it will download the trojan meanwhile you play the game
in the PewPew case, they didn't even rename the app
many of those other apps are just the same originals but renamed with the added payload inside

Don't laugh but my first thought right when she dumped it in the fishbowl was.."so this isn't like the water marks of the iPhone? It doesn't void warranty? It can actually survive minor water accidents?"

Nice commercial; they're realizing that the average consumer doesn't need to be blown away by specs and CG graphics to buy the product. I hope they make more that showcase the qualities of the phone but they are heading in the right direction.
I fail to see how Moto continuously makes the spec oriented adds for the Xoom when Apple is winning the hearts of many with it's emotionally attached and "awe inspiring" commercials of the iPad 2.

well that's kinda simple...
the Tech oriented commercials are trying to attract the geeky / nerdy cloud of consumers (Us here people on forums)
the Awe, Cute, Funny, Nice, etc type commercials are aimed to the regular home user that knows nothing about the phone, they just want something that looks great, and works, and fully packed with features they don't even use.
and Samsung is doing well in the 2nd type of commercials

I know this, but as you can see with the sales numbers, the Xoom isn't selling THAT well. People are quick to forget that "we" make up a small percentage of the market and that isn't where companies need to advertise.
Think about it, how many people who actually know what those specs mean wouldn't already know about the Xoom? The point of a commercial isn't to advertise to your target audience (of course it is, in a way) because we are already "sold".
With new products like these, they should be going for the average Co sumer, one who doesn't know about the tablet and is wondering why they should get that over the iPaD.

Indeed sir. If I get access to the KIN's filesystem, then I'll try to make some modifications to Themes, Apps, and maybe Sounds.
Interesting, very interesting.
But on the other hand, i think that skinning is the last thing we should do, if the OS storage is opened.
Trying to open any non-kin-native App and/or the storage to the "user" like crazy peeps could be better.
So i like that "few glitches" instead "reskin"

and I love the thought of windows phone 7 on the kin, even a watered down version would be enough for me. I would just like to see some apps and facebook integration back, that would be awsome. Idonno something like the live blocks on phone 7 with the contact syncing we see in phone 7 or even the non M kins.
calm down, calm down. Putting another OS here is not a piece of cake, and in any attempt, there is the (high) risk of bricking. That including a normal flash, not a experimental space orbital thing.
Also, we dont know if we can replace things around, or just put red instead green in colour things... so slooow down.
who is in the line to do the tests? I'm not buying another kin though! (3 is too much).
I'm all for exploring this rabbit hole as far as it goes, but I agree with JohnKussack that we should calm down about this being the breakthrough for a new OS. It may or may not be. Personally, I think even some small improvements to the OS we have can go a long way, such as being able to add or remove (Win CE?) apps, change the skin, replace the browser, enable flash, etc.
yea your right, just wishful thinking

how many have you bricked xD I think 1st we should come up with a recovery, which I'm sure your opensorce file system could help with
Just 1 one (and was enough, rofl).
I'm kinda .... skeptical yet. Personally, i doubt that a new os is feasible and think that just "filetweaking" is available (which would be OK for testing apps).
On the recovery... that's why i got another one. It's older brother is awaiting in a fridge.
Unfortunately, the mtp->storage wont be an option for it.
One thing I would like to see honestly is the Kin being able to play games. Not through Wifi either. games like angry birds or something.
I might be able to help.

I might be able to do some testing on things. I am new to kins, actually mine is arriving soon, but not new to bricking phones. I have done alot of work with android, and now have a tablet. I use it so much, I am giving up my thunderbolt, and switching to the kin twom to save money on data. I like the look of the phone, but I can't resist hacking away at every piece of electronics that get into my hands. Anyway, I am looking forward to being part of the kin community, and I hope more people get into this phone.

Stop reading any old tripe you read on the internet. The HTC thing isn't MALWARE. Thats just silly sensationalist reporting. You out to punish the tech idiots reporting that crap by going elsewhere for your tech news.
As for this, i'm guessing it's something like Android Lost, where you can send a push notification from the web (after logging on with your Google account) and your tablet will enable GPS or Wifi and work out where it is and respond back.
Try Android Lost to see what it's all about... It's unlikely to be a permanent tracker, more an on-request location service.

I agree. The mobile phone insurance company Asurian had /has an app called Mobile Recovery. Once you log in securely from a PC you can activate your phones GPS for its location. You can also set off an alarm or wipe it remotely.

When an application can cause DAMAGE, in the HTC case, STOLEN PERSONAL INFORMATION, then its MALWARE, pure and simple, When its fixed so that only HTC can get the logs of what you type, do, use, your location, then it becomes SPYWARE. No need to try and convince me otherwise because of the amount and specifics of the data collected and inability to opt-out.
Nice try however.

Plenty of applications in the world have the ability to cause damage. To call every single one of them malware is plain stupid.

Well spotted!
The thing that annoys the most with this phone is the Norwegian translations, especially the info screens. Now, I work as a proof reader and translator, so it might tick me off more than anyone, but a monkey with Google translate could have done it better. It's horrendous. Can't believe how that slipped through.

While these are pretty small and insignificant things, I definitely feel manufacturers should pay more attention to things like translations and typos.
I can guarantee that when you buy an Apple (for example) device, everything has been translated with greater care and attention to detail, and also I would be very surprised to find typos in the Macbook Pro documentation, for example.
Of course everyone makes mistakes, I'm sure Apple has as well. But I mean that all these little things work together, it all matters, and details are indeed important. This is something that a manufacturer like Apple seems to understand, while many others don't.
I agree with the above. So many underestimate the effect correct use of language has. Not only does it make the sender look unprofessional and not very serious, but the whole notion of downgrading the importance of the tool upon which the whole concept of communicating with any media is built, is just absurd.

I don't have this type, strange
Lol. .so this phone is so freaking awesome that all we have now to discuss about, is a missing 'y' in the help manual? ?
handwritten from my note 2 (N7100)
same here no problems, battery is spelled correctly
Mine is spelt "batter" as well
Probably an early firmware. That amused me anyway.
Someone discovered this very early after its release.
Mines has "battery" tho. I guess was corrected on the last update.
Another typo in the CPU power saving.. They have used "effect" instead of affect.
All fine here, you must be drunk

Correct me if I am wrong, I am not a native speaker of the English language, but I still think it should be "It will not affect normal usage" instead of "It will not effect normal usage". I'm sure native speakers will corroborate!
Look above, the affect is written not effect

Oh, maybe I misunderstood. I was referring to the pic the OP has uploaded..
Mine has a mixed bag : battery is spelled correctly, but affect is not. I also noticed another typo in the OP screen shot : colour instead of color, mine is correct!

Mine says batter too, thats a bit crazy :silly:

Nice one! I didn't spot that till you mentioned it. I guess some of us have it and some of us don't.

Couldn't agree with you more there. Although I'm not a great fan of Apple products, I do appreciate their attention to detail. I just feel as though they care about the user experience a little bit more than, say, Samsung etc. That being said I'm not particularly complaining about the Galaxy Note 2. So far I've found it absolutely brilliant...so brilliant, in fact, I'm willing to overlook small niggles like these. But hey, I was just curious....

Actually "Color" is american and "colour" is british based.
And I agree with the previous post that apple are some perfectionist mother-efers. In weird areas tho; dont know if the absence of those details would have hinder in their success. For intance, apple has a subsidiary that does all the packaging, and the package material, presentation and methodology passes thru the usual Apple QC tests.
