this was a result of Samsung posting that ATT had fixes in the works and myself and others went off on their facebook page. Samsung shortly like 3 minutes posted that they are working with ALL carriers on a fix.
I didn't see them tweet or post about Froyo, but that they are working on fixes
Meh,
This has pretty much become Behold II 2.0
I guess we were warned by Behold II owners.
meh it could mean months for all we know..... unfortunately. If the gps/compass is fixed, i will be a happy camper, I can wait for froyo.

Why don't you fixed the problems yourself. 1. root your phone, 2. install lagfix,

Well, some people may not want to root -- either don't know how, or feels it's "illegal," or don't want to run the security risk.
In practice, even with lag fix, the phone still freezes on occasion (usually when a call comes in, which means I can't answear it, or when trying to unlock. It's rare, but it shouldn't be happening.
We paid our $$$, now the ball's in Samsung's court.
Sounds to me that this update that the Captive got didn't improve the GPS much. Some even say its worse after the update. MAYBE, Just maybe. T-Mobile had to see where these updates went and Then fix it before we get it. Then when it works on the vibrant we can be happy?

I wouldn't worry too much. I'm sure Samsung is tired of being shown up by a bunch of dev's on a forum who don't get paid for what they do. I'm not worried though because even if they go to a locked bootloader, give it a week or two and someone will find a way to unlock it or just get around it. I have full confidence in the dev's here...
This is a leak for the International version of the Galaxy S....this might not mean anything for us just yet...
At least it's a start. Given that the International versions got their Froyo in November (?), maybe we'll get ours in roughly 3 months after that due to conversions to CDMA and all the other stuff our unique Epics have.

With Moto already locking bootloaders and HTC fiddling with the idea, I think a lot of people in the scene are a bit concerned.
I can totally see the entire hobby marginalizing itself to Nexus devices some day. It's not like any major vendor is going to step up just to appeal to a tiny community of hackers any more than carriers are stepping up to make their networks strong enough for that 2% of customers sucking up bandwidth. :/
How can they legally lock the bootloaders? Wasn't it ruled that once we purchase these devices, they're OURS and we can hack/root/jailbreak them all we want?

You can hack it all you want and void your warranty, but they are not required to ALLOW you the ability to do it. They just can't do anything about it other than void your warranty.

No offense to the devs,but does it really make a huge deal if its gsm/cdma? I know the difference between the 2 networks.I've had the epic since nov. Or dec. ,and coming from the htc hero the devs in that forum kicked ass(no offense to the ones here).but I noticed they'd make roms for the htc hero(cdma) from gsm roms.I belive they even got gingerbread fully working for that phone,haven't checked.sorry if it sounds like I'm pissed or something,not pointing fingers.really appreciate the work y'all done for this phone,for real.

Every AT&T user by now probably knows about the "feature" that protects your touchscreen from constant touch input from a waterdrop, right?
For every one of us that looove using our phone while swimming *sigh*.
Know why they implemented it? To protect your phone? No. Because of lazy, poor and dumb "copy & paste" engineering work.
Moto devs copied this "feature" from Defy:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOHxx3P-YdU&noredirect=1
Only thing they forgot is that the Atrix IS NOT a waterproof phone.
Cool story bro.

From what i understand malicious apps from the play store can gain root access to your device using this method.
I hope this won't be regarded as spam, but i didn't see anything referring to this topic in this forum. If this thread is unnecessary, delete it.
Well another reason to root your device yourself and use Superuser or SuperSU, so you can control what app wants root access.

It's already insisted by Sammy official fw. But I wonder if official jb will also has, since jb main mem r/w mgmt security feature was array system layout randomization (ASLR) which randomizes all r/w processing in random ram address, so it'll pretty hard to get ramsysdump log access.
And also imo that's not a conspiracy by Sammy. I think they infringed consumer privacy rights by opening this exploits to make their bloatware (Sammy apps) runs smoothly without public confirmation.

lol, I am sorry, but that's a bit too far fetched. Just think about this from the end user's point of view (Not power users like XDA users/ ORB sufferers), the negative publicity Samsung will get (Since this issue is pretty much reported across all sites, whether dedicated to developers or just end user tech sites), will have more far reaching implications than any potential sales they will have from "switchers" from the S2. Further, general users tend to take such warnings where their data is potentially vulnerable very seriously (Even if there is a 0.00001% chance of it happening).
