XDA seems a little dead lately? - Vibrant General

not alot of rom updates, and not alot of new posts...
is it just me?

it's you. lol

The froyo storm has passed. Now its about getting everything else optimized & possibly having CM sooner then later.

Wait until OTA for 2.2 starts rolling out, there will be a plethora of "OTA bricked my phone" threads

Kinda waiting on that nexus s to come out and see what can be ported over
Constantly Drinking

I think the truth is that there's only but so much one can really talk about here.

The new development is on the horizon - CM is making its way to Vibrant!!!

lul! wut? everyday the devs are releasing updates!

Ya know what I'll start a poll about who prefers what of the 2.2 ROMS from the Devs in the forum...

I think I'm gonna jump ship for HTC. The battery life even with mods is garbage. I went from 100%-78% in an 47min checking my school email ...I hope they get some activity going as well. Maybe cm will liven up this forum again when it comes out . Also fix batter drinking

HTC = Heavy Tawainese Crap.
You have a defective unit. I just had a 30 minute convo, checked 2 emails and posted a facebook status update. All in the span of an hour and the phone went from 100% to 94%.
People *****ing about GPS and bad battery... You got yours from a bad batch. Probably one of the suckers who got it the first day. That's what happens. Never get a new phone on a launch day! I have none of these problems. NONE!

Actually it is Samsung's poor quality control. This is not an eastern european car, where you have to have "luck" when you buy one.

Will Tmobile and Samsung Give us

a update this week on a Update? lol
Im gonna say no. Its the 6th of oct. now and I believe sept.28th is when the Kies update hit and Tmobile said do not update, Information about a update will be posted in a week or Upcoming week I dont remember. Well, a week has gone and past and nothing.
I will say I bet, that by the end of this week, lets say Saturday night, there will still be no word on a update.. I for one am rooted and flashed Eugenes Twiz final so I dont need a 2.1 gps fix or what not, I want froyo. Even then though I doubt there will be any word on any update this week.
So, POLL.
Edit: Please dont respond with, why does every *****, blah blah be patient a update is soon. SOON IS NOT 1/4 of a DAMN year, Every other SGS has had a update, hell Captivate has a leaked FROYO rom. How long will people keep saying, keep waiting, we will have it soon.
EDIT: I post threads like this so it bites me in the ass and we get a update sooner. See, it worked. WE got a update before my timeline was up...
they'll give us froyo when people stop asking every 5 minutes.
So never.

Ok back to what the thread is SUPPOSED to be about. Do I think we will get it? Nope, not while Galaxy Ss are still selling like hot cakes.

They have sold more than 5 million already and 2 million of that was in the US alone. Samsung is making money with the product as is so why throw a lot of money at development for a phone they have already sold?

i hope that they give us the froyo, especially now that phones that are built in with froyo are out in the stores and of course the galaxy tab too. i don't care if it's not this month or it will be by the end of the year, i just hope that they give it to us.
You know why they don't say anything definitive? Because if something goes wrong at the last minute and the deadline slips, they'll catch even more flak.
We can't make this go any faster. Nothing you say or do is going to make Froyo come out faster. Just go out and take a walk or something. Life will not end in the interval between now and Froyo.

Yea yea knew you would post in here, as the guy on page 1 said, don't keep bumping it.

Again what's your guess I'm sure you voted.....?
It is clear to me that both Samsung and TMO suck at updates but we will get Froyo for sure. Its not a question of "IF" but "WHEN."

I'm with ya. The phone is a monster even stock right out of the box. The Cortex A8 Hummingbird is by far the fastest stock Processor out there (in my opinion). My wife has an Evo and I can navigate around my phone and web 5x faster than her.

While for many, this update won't mean much, for others is actually a very important update. Our current gmail app is seriously crippled for some email users, no android management tools, no push notifications plus a more restricted market. I briefly switched and was stunned at the improvements made to the gmail app...eventually had to switch back though because my Battery life took a *HUGE* hit. Samsung/Sprint is really starting to drop the ball IMO.
2.2.1 is still being worked on,,,but the talk around the water cooler is 5-6 months for gingerbread,,,but it will be ported long before then.

Who cares, use DK28. It works great and has the best battery life I have ever seen on a smart phone. Most recently, from a full charge with calls, texts, internet browsing, emailing, facebook, and over an hour of angry birds I got 31 hours of use before I put it on the charger at 6%. I used it the whole day, left it off the charger for the night and used it the next day just to see how long it would last. If they are making these kind of improvements I an very happy with the progress and they can have as much time as needed.

You are doing something seriously wrong if you think DK28 caused bad battery life. I suggest you try again and calibrate your battery. See my previous post, this thing lasts FOREVER.

Are you trying to say that is the release date? If so, you just destroyed your own credibility because they would never release a huge update on a holiday. No one wants to be stuck with a broken phone on Christmas sitting on hold for tech support. They most likely have less staff working too, which would just compound the problems.
funy thing is I dont care if you think its credible,Im putting it out there,if Im flammed Im flammed...And to clarify what my info is,12/20 is when they want to have RC2 ready for .4 version test phones,the window is mostly 5 days for bugs to be reported,now we are looking at 12/25-26,then if it is given the ok,it will roll out before the end of the year as expected,not everyone will get the OTA the first day.So I cant say when you will get it,only when they expect it to be done....And if you follow my trail, posted exactly when DK28 would hit 3 weeks before,I said 26-29. And Ive said this before,DK28 was supposed to be final with an update 2 weeks after the roll out to fix any unseen bugs.I mentioned this here and on SDX,does that seem credible enough for you?

Running Epic Experience DK28 at the moment. I've been getting GREAT battery life and very few issues.
A little laggy at times, but nothing serious.

Is everyone that owns this phone a whiney bish?

Seems to me every post on here lately is just people whining about what they don't have...
I use my phone daily, and get a lot of use out of it.. I obviously am not as obsessed as many of the whinners, but I guess it gives them something to do.
Why don't all the folks whinning about not having 2.2 just start a thread *****ing about not having gingerbread..
. . . . This concludes another useless thread that doesn't not further the use of an Epic in anyway.. Please move along!!

F*** off. Don't come on this forum if you dont like it.
The point is that this is one of Sprint's "top of the line" phones. Why don't I have the bells and whistles that the comperable Evo has? I paid a premium to have this device and all the features its capable of. I'd like to be able to enjoy those highlights.
On a side note if Samsung/Sprint did a little bit better job of keeping everyone in the loop on where they were with updates it wouldn't be such a big deal. I don't need specifics but a ballpark timeline would be nice. It's all about managing people's expectations.

I still love this phone and have since launch. I'd rather have timely updates like the rest of us, but either way I think this phone is bad ass. I let everyone else QQ And just sit here and listen.

Hopefully fix gps / keyboard issues. My gps locked like a glove on DK28 and closer than I have ever seen on DI18. I enjoyed the new style of text messaging too. Its all about user expierience. Flash would be nice too.
I ran the leaked DK28 build for awhile and enjoyed it quite a bit but it obviously wasn't finished. I'd like to give the finished product a run.
Im in no hurry for froyo til mobile ap starts working on it, wireless tether sucks ass in comoarison, also my gps works great on d118 the only thing froyo will bring me is flash and apps2sd which apps2sd is not even a big deal for me im nit running out of space or anything and my phone does everything I want my phone todo. I dont care if froyo officially doesnt come out til january 2012.

The main thing I want it on my wife's Epic is for C2DM or cloud to device messaging for third party apps. I'd like it so that apps can use less battery power that do notifications among other things.
Also the JIT's kinda nice too..
I haven't done any complaining about it on the forum but one would think one of the best/most expensive android phones on the market would come with the latest version of Android. Anyway personally I went back to running 2.1 with Phoenix/Syndicate Rom after trying a whole slew of 2.2 ROMs. I'll just wait around for the official Froyo and try not to think about it....

So how do you feel?

Waiting for october 22nd and then aweek later and now its what?
The end of november for the expected drop of gb?
I hope you all finally learned your lessons about listening to a bunch of dribble from people who want 15 seconds of fame on a website.
Gingerbread will come officially.
There will be no exact date unless samsung mentions it.
Stop waiting on the playbook everyweek.
Its obviously useless. Come on guys. Stop waking up at 6am refreshing evry minute on wednesdays. When its in the playbook, it'll be made public. Stop asking them everywednesday and Thursday if there's gb for epic.
Wouldn't YOU announce it the second you get the info? Wouldn't YOU get annoyed by the constant hounding the second you wake up because you have to constantly repeat the same thing to everyone (no gb this week)? Wouldn't it feel insulting to your intelligence when you say its not here this week and the next response is "did you read the whole thing?"
Um, I wouldn't answer a question with a straight "yes" or "no" if I wasn't sure. Id expect a majority to be the same, but that's obviously too flattering to the human race.
Please guys. Stop breaking your heads over gingerbread!
It WILL get here. Remember how long it took to go rom eclair to froyo. Do you really xpect samsung to release another update so fast with their obviously inadequate development team which took what? 7 months for the first official froyo? And then another month for an actual stable froyo?
You're all gonna get gray hair. Just chill back, flash one of the few gb roms out there, gt yourself familiar with the differences and then if you don't like it go back to froyo. If you do, then you should be satisfied till the official drop.
I, myself am running eh06 stock and have been sinceit dropped. Its as stable as ec05 for me. I get no reboots unlike everyone else for somereason, I can watch netflix no problem even on 3g, my battery lasts 20 hours.
If this is from 2 builds ago, imagine what official gb is gonna be like.
Its gonna happen soon

I had flashed EH06 and seldom had reboots until about two weeks ago. Then it was one after the other. So, I flashed back to Stock--end of reboots. Then I rooted. Finally I used my wifes upgrade and got a ET 4G and gave her the epic. Had to do a reset on that to get rid of my account. It's nice to see 10 of 12 sats in use with accuracy to 9 ft again, and not a single reboot. I (she) can wait for the official. When that comes I'll flash the best rom the devs make for us. In the mean time, I'm enjoying the stuff out of my touch. 16 hours and still 36% of battery left. I figure I'll be able to use my upgrde about the time the Nexus Prime is released.

Yeah I'm not wasting my upgrade just for new software. My epic does everything I need and thensome. Including gps. I just came down to florida from nyc and the gps only crapped out in South Carolina for about 10 miles. Ofcourse, its a straight shot on the 95, but I felt it was the optimal oppurtunity to test eh06 gps capabilities since its a 20 hour drive.
Idk man iguess I lucked out with my epic. I can oc to 1.4 with no problems and run it at 100mhz without wake up lag.
However, if they gaveback the 1 year upgrades, I wouldn't be here right now LOL but I'm not wasting my last 1 year upgrade on a phone that's already been outdated by its own manufacturer (look at the Galaxy SII HD LTE in korea. Its basically the nexus with an exynos.)
Its hard to believe I stuck with my bbcurve for more than 2 years before I upgraded (lol) now phones are being released like candy :/

Since we got the official kernel source and the GPS fix posted I've been feeling pretty good. I've been running EH17 stock with the mkasick kernal and gps fix for a few weeks now and it's so smooth fast and stable it's almost boring. But a good kind of boring! Official gingerbread will be an anti-climax.

Yeah I guess I gotta go to browser mode I'm rnning a back up of the app because they tried to make me buy it again but I wasn't going for that and just took it from my ec05 backup.

Waiting for october 22nd and then aweek later and now its what?
The end of november for the expected drop of gb?
I hope you all finally learned your lessons about listening to a bunch of dribble from people who want 15 seconds of fame on a website.
Gingerbread will come officially.
There will be no exact date unless samsung mentions it.
Stop waiting on the playbook everyweek.
Its obviously useless. Come on guys. Stop waking up at 6am refreshing evry minute on wednesdays. When its in the playbook, it'll be made public. Stop asking them everywednesday and Thursday if there's gb for epic.
Wouldn't YOU announce it the second you get the info? Wouldn't YOU get annoyed by the constant hounding the second you wake up because you have to constantly repeat the same thing to everyone (no gb this week)? Wouldn't it feel insulting to your intelligence when you say its not here this week and the next response is "did you read the whole thing?"
Um, I wouldn't answer a question with a straight "yes" or "no" if I wasn't sure. Id expect a majority to be the same, but that's obviously too flattering to the human race.
Please guys. Stop breaking your heads over gingerbread!
It WILL get here. Remember how long it took to go rom eclair to froyo. Do you really xpect samsung to release another update so fast with their obviously inadequate development team which took what? 7 months for the first official froyo? And then another month for an actual stable froyo?
You're all gonna get gray hair. Just chill back, flash one of the few gb roms out there, gt yourself familiar with the differences and then if you don't like it go back to froyo. If you do, then you should be satisfied till the official drop.
I, myself am running eh06 stock and have been sinceit dropped. Its as stable as ec05 for me. I get no reboots unlike everyone else for somereason, I can watch netflix no problem even on 3g, my battery lasts 20 hours.
If this is from 2 builds ago, imagine what official gb is gonna be like.
Its gonna happen soon
As for ICS official, forget it. Don't torture yourself even more.

Well said, I feel pretty much the same way. I only flashed my first gb rom yesterday, after reading gb rom threads for the last three months, I never saw one that, given the issues, was worth using on my daily phone that just has to work. We all love to tinker and play and get the latest greatest, but its astounding how some of the people here behave. The amount of crying and whining and whining about whining and temper tantrums reguarding this issue is disheartening and disgusting. Just my two cents. It seems that the animosity around here is unusually high lately, and the patience unusually low. Despite that, I have to thank everyone who has been kind to my n00b self, and there have been plenty.

Like I'm standing at the front door of Michelle's house and her mom is telling me that she isn't going to play (doctor) with me because she's over at the new kid's house playing with him.
Stupid new kid.

How do I feel? Like some people here should get a life outside of their phone. You want Gingerbread...put on a freakin GB ROM. There are plenty and no reboots with the new kernels. Or trade your phone for an HTC piece of crap, gingerbread with plenty of bugs. Either way quit whining, man up and grow a set. Too much freakin estrogen in these threads lately.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
part of the reasoning behind this failure to provide an update has to be to force people to the newer model Epic, right? it can't be a coincidence that a GB OTA hasn't been released in the weeks following Samsung's next cornerstone device. Why would they run the risk of getting a 15-month old device remotely on par with one that's only been out a few weeks?
Im betting that we dont get GB untill they have moved on to 2.3.7 or so. Dont really care. Definitely wont buy another samsung device after my Epics life is over.

Lot of free time between jobs...LOL. I am on here to help people looking to make their phone better but lately getting real sick of the whining. It seems some of the people have absolutely nothing going on in their lives but to make threads crying over not getting Gingerbread. I can imagine how they whine over not getting winning lottery numbers at their local store...after all the Lottery says all you need is a dollar and a dream.

I haven't read any of this thread. But I'm responding to the title:
I could care less. We have source. Great things are coming. Boo hoo to all the people who want gingerbread on stock epics, get out of here. Sammy did, in a way, exactly what we wanted them to. Gave us source. They also saved their own asses and didn't have an ota for the people who don't give a crap about gingerbread.

So much for Miui coming to the Atrix today...

I know that the OP of the previous thread supposedly asked for the thread to be closed, but seriously, I came home early to be able to install Miui onto my mom's Atrix so she could get off the CM7 beta2.
I guess for now I'll have to install the latest 'CM7'-ish rom for her, considering the Atrix still isn't officially supported.
You could always develop it yourself instead of whining. The developers owe you nothing! I know if I was the dev I wouldn't release it just because of people like you!

what is it about the current CM7 build that isn't up to par for you?
I kinda understand some people are annoyed, irritated, just plain mad because so and so said would release x rom on so and so day and didn't happen. *I get that.* But really people?

As far as I've experienced on the CM7 build for the Atrix, the battery life is simply atrocious along with the lack of webtop and proper HDMI-out support.
Lol @ installing miui on your moms Atrix.

I am owed nothing from developers.
But when I read that a build of some ROM is coming x day, and I take the time to come home to help my mother put that on her phone only for it to (as of yet) not come to fruition, I am less than pleased with said developer.
They still owe me nothing, but they have less than my full satisfaction.
MIUI is based off of CM7 so chances are more than likely the same stuff won't work that doesn't work on CM7 for the Atrix.
Battery life is my main problem with CM7, it just wont last more than 2/3rds of a day. I've been finding myself to bring the charger wherever I go.
Here's to hoping that the developer who was kind enough to even think of getting MIUI for our Atrix devices, gives us a more solid timeframe.
It's all about setting expectations I guess. For me, my expectation of the Atrix in itself has been surpassed with the bA2tf CM7 release. I guess I'm easy to please!

What? Did you expect it to be released at midnight last night? There's still up to eight hours left in the day depending on where you live. Have patience my friend!

I'm not getting the whole " my battery doesn't last on cm7 " I can get a solid 8 hours of constant use without the need for a charger.. 10 % per hour give or take. With the stock kernal. I even nought the siedio 3500 mah extended battery. And find I really don't need it ATM.
While miui would def rock to have on our atrix... I'm content with cm7 for my needs. And not in anyway getting caught up in the where is this or that drama.. sit back enjoy your phone. Lol

Looking for pity and using your mom's well being in her phone-life to get it? You are the type that will drive slowness up for miui development for the Atrix.
You should buy your mom a new phone and try not reporting it to the world for a change.

you want on time? Order a frigging pizza! This is xda not dominos! Like anyone gives a piss if you're fully satisfied or not!? Lmao
You think your mom was disappointed? Wait until I tell you about my grandpa! He was hell bent on getting MIUI but I was fortunate enough to get the same wallpaper the guy in the video had. I think I have a few days before he notices that its a customised cM7 that he was using.
