Samsung & carrier fees reason for Froyo delays? - Epic 4G General

I do not know how accurate, truthful or factual this person is, but their post explains why we don't have Froyo yet - basically US carriers have to pay more for feature updates rather than maintenance updates, and Samsung insists Froyo is a feature update but carriers insist is a maintenance update being that Google did the majority of the work:

If this is the case (and it kind of makes sense) I am quite disappointed in all parties concerned. What the heck.

O_O .... I have nothing to say to you for this! . . have a nice day...

These posts keep getting taken down by the mods. Cut the guy some slack! He didn't know. My post on this had over 1,000 views and over 30 comments and still got taken down. I mean, we're all clamoring for ANY news on Froyo. I mean, what else do we have to talk about here? Rooting or installing the Froyo hack?
Honestly, OP, I like and can't get enough of the "Where's Froyo?" posts either. Why? Any news at all is worth a read for me. I want my Froyo!

Please search before making a new thread. There are numerous threads discussing this same topic.

Froyo on it's way

Saw this today and hope it's for real.
In the mean time Bionix Final with Core V1 is the bomb.
Thanks Whiskey guys.
http://www.examiner.com/gadgets-in-...-froyo-update-will-hit-u-s-by-end-of-november
Why r they kept using the UK news for US version
And how exactly did the examiner get that a tweet from Samsung UK would have anything to do with T-Mobile US? They based their article on incomplete information and conjecture.
Real journalism is dead
I feel the flame is coming

Why do they keep using the U K news as source for the USA release ?

Im with you man, BS or not who gives a damn. Even the flamers hope its real as do we. If it happens it happens. I just want the source code, could care less about the actual update.
Others are reporting that samsung started the role out today in the UK and we all should have it by the end of the month.

That's not what that article says at all! Unless by "we" you mean you are in the UK and you are talking to all of the UK users here, which are none, because we are in a US phone forum.
It's Samsung UK tweeting that it's started rolling out today and all Samsung UK handsets should have it by the end of the month.
Haven't we been through this like 10 times already?!

Preparation H will soothe your aching butt. Too many people are butt-hurt over the update not coming to fruition. Its really not funny when it has to be explained.
I'm sure this will just cause another argument resulting in a locked thread.
I think there needs to be a Vibrant Argument forum.

This was more humorous than the OP, maybe photoshop Samsung into the box...
Come on the op went for humor not straight complaining. Laugh don't laugh but it's actually the people who hate threads like this that fill them up. Is it so hard just to go on to the next thread. A person sees so many replies and they think it is of value. The flamers give these threads life. There should only be 1 post if this thread is pointless, 2 if the original post was confusing.

Supposedly 2.2 is official?

http://thetechjournal.com/tag/sprint-epic-4g-get-official-android-2-2-froyo
simple google search, but what does it mean? could hell have finally frozen over? is it another ota beta leak? can i have it?
edit: disregard completely!
google said that my search result was frmo 14 hours ago, but after looking at the page more closesly it was dated from back in december. douchey move, google. douchey move indeed
Dude that is from Dec 5th.

And I thought the OP was late to the party...
Don't blame google. Crap websites with no hits have been re-publishing that 'story' since the third week of December to get them to the top of news sites and search results. It is a marketing strategy for weak traffic sites.
Im sick of these threads -_- everytime i see it my heart starts to race then i click on it and get sad 8(
well the op certainly lived up to his name lol
jk dude. honest mistake
haha yeah i feel pretty bad about this messup. I got so excited until i decided to recheck the page. then just an overwhelming sense of sadness and regret came over me.

Do we have any indication that Samsung and/or SamsungJohn are hearing us???

I didn't want to pollute the issues thread (and I commend the ones that started it). I am just curious if we have any indication that Samsung and/or SamsungJohn hear us???
This forum could be a GREAT way to feedback directly to Samsung and give them input on their software (if they are indeed serious about fixing it). They could even use a portion of the XDA population (those that are capable) for beta testing and feedback since their beta testers seemed to miss quite a few big bugs, some that have been known to us for MONTHS.
Like I said, I commend the effort, just wondering if we KNOW (for a fact) that the right eyes see your work.

It's not that we're celebrating or anything. It's just many of us saw this coming from Samsung. I promise I'm not rubbing it in.

Okay, since no one on XDA knows how to operate the search function or even read a thread on the first pages of General or Android Development that they post in, I'll make this tutorial.
1. Click this button:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2. Type in what you think is a useful post:
3. Check the threads that result.
4. If they don't pertain to what you want to talk about, then make a post. Might want to do a few searches.
5. If search is down, at least look past the first thread.
For the love of God, please do not make any more HC threads.
The Nook Color has a very ghetto-rigged version of HC that barely works. We don't have it because the AOSP hasn't been released and the boot.img hasn't been grabbed from the Xoom (more important than the system dump). Another issue is Nvidia hasn't released the Tegra 2 proprietary libraries.
No one on XDA knows how to read apparently. Just a few threads for HC:

Really? 14 threads in General about HC and 2 threads in Android Development (not counting deleted/moved threads).
If you don't want to be flamed here, don't post things that have been posted.
P.S. Sorry to go all out on you, but I and many others have gotten tired of sifting through all this clutter.

Thanks for seeking to be involved. I am sure that TheJesus (non-deity for sure) meant no ill will.
Search can be daunting to say the least as it's not very intuitive - I do know that some changes are in the works for searching at an undetermined time...
Closing this thread to stop flaming.
