And what XDA users had meetings with you? I know supercurio was contacting Samsung Korea (via Twit), and who else?
Also, why is it that your other thread you've started was closed down? Were you banned? Are you fake?

well if you continued to read the other thread Krylon confirmed he was real in addition the other thread was getting out of hand and away from his point. Im fairly certain he started this thread to make sure his reply didnt get completely buried.

We appreciate efforts to answer our complaints with Samsung, but adding teasers about a "Huge Announcement " after 6 months of corporate neglect....... does not instill a "Warm and Fuzzy"..........I am pretty sure you understand our unhappiness with the Treatment we have Received from Samsung... et al......
It's like a Joke...... even Boost mobile and Metro pay as you go phones get 2.2 updates long before we do...........
But we are open to the MAGNANIMOUS OFFERING that is about to be bestowed on us and wait patiently for its arrival

True, Krylon did say he is legit, but still I have my doubts. I'm all for good news, not broken promises, or neglect.
All XDA Users Rock!!
If Kry says he's legit, he's legit. I wanna throw my guess to the big announcement-I think that they will not only release source but will have Vanilla android builds for those not wanting to wait for Touchwiz customizations (w/bloat obviously).
Gingerbread?
Now THAT would be an announcement.
One can dream.
Cant wait for the announcement, dont wanna get my hopes up but I hope it has to do with our favorite 's' word.
Again its funny and embarassing to see xda members direct thier complaints at you like you're some magic man that will end the nights they cry themselves to sleep over Samsung's mobile strategy. We appologize for them.

I am a bit skeptical about this announcement since user complaints seem to have fallen on deaf ears for a number of months. However, I hope this will really be something substantial that will sway myself and many other users towards purchasing samsung phones again instead of holding up #neveragain signs. If samsung would be willing to fix my GPS on my vibrant that would be amazing.

An announcement as to if and when T-Mobile gets a galaxy 2 is what I would like to know. The vibrant 4g is the phone the vibrant should have been out of the gate 6 months ago but I think that was probably tmobiles decision. We probably could have had the international version if tmobile had asked for it. My concern is that if they are getting the 4g version vibrant at the end of this month then its going to be a fairly long time if ever that we get the full featured galaxy 2.

Here's an idea, how about we make one thread with ALL rumors of OFFICIAL OTA TO EVERYONE NOT JUST TESTERS, etc.... so that we only have one place to get our hopes up. Deal is you have to say rumor, unless its clearly stating upgrade to 2.2/2.3, from a first party source, Sammy, sprint, or google. And if its a sprint employee rumor please clarify that that I the case, as I've seen they are either totally right, or totally misinformed for sales purposes. No ill will, just clarify your source, and exactly what the supporting evidence is.
Cheers!

lol so many of their articles cite xda-developers as the source.
Yah I thought you were 'encouraged' to donate when you made profit off open source work... which is what this really is... aside from flame wars every complaint about roms etc. Is development... maybe they do donate, but I would hope google as well as these sites donate to the cooks too... amazing what they do in a day compared to salaried workers.
Personally I feel that the 2.3 hopes are crap as of right now. Why do you ask? Well seeing that the Epic does not have an official 2.2 or a stable(bugs fixed) developed version of 2.2, 2.3 will not be working for a good amount of time. Don't get me wrong the developed roms are good so far, but there is room for improvement. Words to live by "live in the present rather then concentrating on the future"
seeing as there arent any good 2.3 rumor threads out, im hijacking this one. Apparently 2.3 is due on june 20th, according to most people in the web. However, today we were told that we might get an update today? what are your thoughts on this? wdm had a pretty good time frame for the 6/20 release date theory so for now that seems to be the most viable option.
thoughts?
Its not true the guy was trying too get people fired up
i heard from a sprint guy who heard from a nextel guy who heard from a samsung guy who heard from htc that samsung will license the open sourced sense 3.0 for the all Galaxy S phones including the epic 4g.

Sprint and Samsung both have been very quiet since their last "ASAP" tweets and posts. They are either keeping their heads down to avoid getting them chewed off by all of the angry people or they are hoping that if they don't mention the E*ic or F*oyo words that people will just forget.
I wish I knew someone at The Onion because a great story would be, "Egyptian riots linked to angry Epic 4G owners demanding Froyo."
Another great idea would be an "Epic Flash Mob" on February 7th to go along with their big announcement.

Because we have better things to do than send tweets, facebook posts and emails to Sprint and Samsung over an update that we will get when they are ready to give it to us. Our phones are working just fine without 2.2. And once we do get 2.2...most of you will just start *****ing about 2.3.
Maybe you should all just get rid of your Epics...move over to an EVO and continue on with your lives. The devs here have done a wonderful job with the DK28 build and I couldnt be happier.

Agreed this phone blows any other phone out of the water without Froyo but even if we update this phone with the custom ROMS you still see that most developers would love to have the latest firmware and not just DK28.

Heck, would be nice to be ahead for a change....
But I'm not gonna hold my breath! ROFL!
More than one person here has said any official port of GB to the Epic would be far less work than Froyo has been for Sammy and Sprint. But I've always said that's being more hopeful than history warrants us to be. I'll be glad to just get a good Froyo on here without worries.

While I have my doubts about Sprint/Samsung actually supporting our phones with OS updates past 2.2; the possibility of the Nexus coming to Sprint and the speed at which they have (supposedly) fixed bugs and moved to release another Froyo update to us has me optimistic this may have some truth to it.
Maybe samsung does care after all

If this happens it could go a long way to make me rethink my never buying another samsung and going back to HTC. Samsung had great hardware.

Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I suspect much would be forgiven if Sammy actually accomplished this, it went relatively smoothly, defects were minimal, and the change persisted in the future.
I know I'd forgive and forget. As I posted in another thread awhile back, I'm not vindictive, and it makes no sense to hold a grudge against a company... I only punish myself, not them.

I always have believed that if a couple of dev's on this site can pump out a stable rom in a short amount of time WHILE having other jobs and doing this in their free time, there is no reason for any company that PAYS people to do the same job to take as long as these companies do.
As neat as it sounds to have Sprint and Samsung push out the first 2.3 updates in the US, I will not be holding my breath what so ever. I'll stick with custom roms and just Odin back if I have any trouble.
With that said, it'll be nice to see Samsung release this, but then again I just don't care. I love my phone regardless
Jus be patient ppl...it will come when it comes....
IF it comes that is.
Ok... Flame me if you want to, but I believe it.
You: Omg! No! Sammy will nevurrrr do that!
Yes, they would. They dont want to lose customers and more importantly, if the nexus s 4g rumors are true, it will most likely have the same hardware as the epic because the epic 4g radios arent broken, so they dont need to fix them, and even if they are, samsumg used some of the horrible moment files for us. Anyways, with a nexus s 4g, samsung will have a 2.3.x device with epic hardware, and since they already have the drivers from it, the epic 4g will get 2.3 quick like how the i9000 has official 2.3, even if we dont get it quick, we (the xda community) can get the nexus s 4g software running on the epic really quick.

The Headline says:
"Samsung Mobile could offer the first Gingerbread updates to US carriers"
I didn't see it say much about the carriers getting it out to any of us.

Technically, this is a Gingerbread rumor. The other thread is for Froyo rumors.

Totally agree. Samsung is slow, sprint is just as slow if not worse. I started out with blackberry(bowing my head in shame) and they were horrible with them. Rim atleast understood that so they let out leaks on a fairly regular basis for the devs to play with. Now with android, first the moment and now with the epic, sprint is terrible again. And whats even worse with both of them, and where they can stop alot negativity from even starting is if they both just comminicate more with the users. I feel if we had more info, especially on promised updates, it is an easier pill to swallow then being left totally in the dark.

Exhibit 4G comes with 2.3. Vibrant peeps, time to start up #NeverAgain
Yup the time has come once again. Let the war begin. I mean the nagging to Samsung.

Samsung screws us over and over, and yet people still want to buy the SGSII. Blows my mind. Or maybe T-mobile is the real issue.
Either way I'm in... lets get #neveragain going with samsung and t-mobile.
Someone post the twitter/facebook accounts for samsung and tmo please
thanks!

I never really stopped #NeverAgain-ing in the first place. We all hope they learned from their mistakes, but were the ones who haven't learned. Sensation here I come!

I fail to see how they are screwing us over. They release a new phone with the latest Android, as they should. They are updating the Galaxy S line to 2.3, including the Vibrant. Its already an official release in Europe. Some of you think its late, but how many old handsets have been updated to official 2.3 across all brands? Galaxy S/Vibrant will be one of the few.
So can someone explain to me how we are getting shafted? Did Samsung announce that we are not gonna get Gingerbread?
^ you are being to logical
The original #NeverAgain that I got going was under much different circumstances, I agree. It is too soon. Then again, I think manufacturers/providers/Google need to know the demand of the consumer.
Trying to sell new phones (by slow updates), trying to save money (no OTA updates), etc... those are wrong reasons. I hate custom UI's for the reason they are used as excuses for slow/no delays too.
Vibrant owners whine too much. It is a phone, not a lifestyle.

Only 4% of android phones had Gingerbread as of a month ago.
Give it some time, it will come. Froyo was deserved, but Gingerbread is a gift.

I don't understand why it's necessary to make this an issue to boycott anyone. Everyone should know fragmentation has been one of the biggest issues on android.
If the argument you're making is valid Samsung should charge more for their phones. Otherwise you should reevaluate your valuation of the phone when you purchase it.
If price you paid = $(vibrant2.2)
And
$(vibrant2.2) < $(vibrant2.2) + $(vibrant2.3 in the future)
Then we all got what we paid for, if not then you should reconsider what you expect from android.

But how are they? They've updated us to Froyo like we asked and now the whole Galaxy S line will be updated to Gingerbread. Please show me all the other OEMs devices that have actually seen 2 major updates. Hardly any.
If you people would take a look around you'd not only see that as of late Samsung has been getting better, but almost every other OEM is treating their customers worse.
I can't wait for 2.3 either, but this isn't exactly NeverAgain material... Put down the pitchforks and wipe your tears now please.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't never again mean never again?

So how does HTC and motorola able to charge the same as samsung yet provide all the needed updates? The Evo is already getting or gotten 2.3, most of the droids are getting it as well....doesnt sound like a problem with price like you put it, more like a problem with manufacturer, thats why my next handset will be from someone else.
My old crappy MyTouch 3g had froyo months before my Vibrant (which was sold with the promise of froyo in a couple of months or so) every did. BTW the MyTouch did not have froyo promised, hell not even eclair was promised

Now what gets me is that the Nexus S (90% the same phone as the vibrant) has had gingerbread since 2010, we are now getting froyo

Might be because of the fact that Motorola Droid's are limited to only Verizon and the Evo's are only on Sprint? Samsung has different versions of the Galaxy S across all the carriers.
