[WARNING] Galaxy S being phased out?
Hi,
I came across this article.
- http://www.cellpassion.com/2010/12/28/samsung-discontinues-galaxy-s/
Can somebody confirm this?
PS : Most of the major cities in India are out of stock & the retailers are telling No stock is coming from Samsung.
Galaxy S has been discontinued in INDIA, and this fact, i have been looking for one from past 2 weeks for my dev work, though i have allreday 2 phones with me...
here is one of the source... not sure its true or just a fake news... but no stock in BANGALORE

This is probably true. I went to a Croma today (at Mumbai), they were out of stock and they would not comment on when and if new stocks would arrive. They didn't actually say that it's been discontinued, however even the display piece has been removed.
I enquired at our local TheMobileStore & they said that production had stopped & no further stock was expected.
Why would it be phased out to make way for the Nexus S. I thought the nexus was Manufactured by Samsung for Google so they don't actually sell it it's google phone to sell. It could just be though that in India the market appears to be moving over to purchasing the Nexus so its pointless selling the Galaxy there?
i bought mine on dec 15th 2010 . Guess i am one of the last set of lucky owners
Bought in HYDERABAD
But ya in many stores it was not there finally found it in PCH mobiles
thank goodness! I bought a bit earlier (july).. else i wouldn't have come to know about the gorgeousness of super amoled and computing power of hummingbird + powervr

It will be 'obsolete' in 3-6 months once the dual-core phones hit the market. Hehe. I think LG is planning a launch anytime now, Samsung et al will certainly follow.

Have Anyone tried that clone of htc hd2
Chinese model. Only changed the button below!
The clone is just that, I understand it works well, but the roms are different, so if you'r thinking of buying a cheap model and flashing it to Android or a decent win mo then its a no go and you will end up with a brick - there are posts on it here, try the search option

I just bid goodbye to my sgs2..sold it yesterday for 950 usd..i had used it for two weeks and it is simply the best phone i ever owned and maybe the best phone ever release, but because of the nature of my work i have to give it up for a smaller phone (Desire S) more usable on my site work.
Cheers to all of you owning SGS2 here, its the greatest phone as of now! Thanks!
Shame you have to let the phone go. Have fun with your new phone though

maybe im the first one who had it here in qatar,its in demand here.. since its not yet released here it can be sold on a higher price.
And the one who bought is a local arab man here so that amount of money is nothing to him, local people here are very rich...
I'm a Structural Engineer / Project Manager in Australia with Caltex. I agree, working on site is no place for the SGSII. I use my Moto Atrix on site for work, and SGSII off site for leisure.

thanks for agreeing sir,we both work on the same environment but maybe it worser here because its a desert country..
Hello members, so i was reading about the GooPhone that is supposedly patented with the Iphone 5 design in China. They are apparently ready to sue apple once the phone is released.
Anyway it led me to a site that has android/windows/blackberry devices.
Now they seem legit, have looked around and seen that there are some reviews, only negative comments are about the long shipping.
My question is, has anyone here ever ordered from this site.
http://www.fastcardtech.com/
I was interested in maybe ordering a device playing with it for a while, then maybe sending to a dev to see if the components would match that of its US counterpart to see if custom ROMS would be able to be installed.
So please read, look, get interested, and chat about the site!!!!

a 6" phone... holy crap... are these any good? My mother has been wanting a Galaxy note for the screen size but she uses none of the features of a smart phone other than basic calendar and to do tasks. This would be great....

If she really doesn't do anything on it then I would get out for her because 512mb of ram is the same a an IPhone which has fast enough speed for every day tasks not sure if she will need more than 4GB of space but there is a microsd slot up to 32GB so that might help 1GHz processor is beyond overkill for what you said she does so sure why not!

After some careful research, and some digging into chinese forums. These phones are complete fakes.
It seems that they may not ever make it stateside. They also have IMEI problems, so they may work for a week, but after that they seem to start having disconnect problems. Also looks like the GPS will not work, being that it is based in China satelittes will not transmit here.
I almost bought one today, like 3 times, but after more and more digging, I have decided not too.
This seems to be a complete scam. There are a bunch of sites claiming fraudulent accounts among the site as well.
What seemed so nice quickly slips away.

Ouch... Buzzkill... Guess I should've done a little more digging before posting those sites. BTW, do you have any reference links?
I first went on www.fastcardtech.com/forums and was reading the results of users. Alot sounded pretty upset. Although there are not very many replies, there are some feedback.
I asked a question about a device, and then asked the same question again 2days later, and got a different answer. I will do it again, and get a screen shot so that I can show you all. There was another forum in XDA about the site, there are some saying its legit, others not so much.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561534
Will post back with more.
I am still considering ordering one, just havent decided yet. I know as soon as I do that they will announce the Note 2 for Tmobile.
I have found a few more credible sites, there is,
www.koobay.com
www.exportandgo.com
Upon searching the fastcardtech site brands devices to companies that dont actually have these devices. For instance, I have found the HDC (china phone maker) and they list their products, then you reference the FTC site and there are thousand of HDC branded devices that are not actually HDC brand!
I've seen an apple S4 by them. The screen res is terrible.it had virtually no memory. Build was terrible. Do not waste your money. I'm sure no rom with work on them.

any of these knockoffs will not work with any of the regular roms, you would have to make a rom for that knock off device model.. as you can imagine without a lot of people owning them your chances of getting a good rom is slim.
This is news to me, but I received this email regarding my order for a HTC One.
Hi [redacted - me!],
Unfortunately I was provided with the incorrect information by our supplier last week!
I have just spoken to a member of management at Expansys (our supplier) and unfortunately been informed that due to a lawsuit between HTC and Nokia, there is currently a hold on this device. Expansys are a direct client of HTC, meaning they have not been provided with any more stock and currently struggling to re-stock on this device. Expansys will find out on the 7th May whether they will be stocking more of this device.
In the meantime I have place an order with Dabs, within 24 hours they will confirm delivery date. Should everything run smooth with Dabs.com, I will cancel our order with Expansys.
I will keep you posted [redacted - me!] and really sorry about this delay.
Regards,
[redacted - customer service chap(ess)]

Has anyone else heard of news regarding a HTC/Nokia lawsuit?
I want my One, damnit!
EDIT: Dabs.com don't have any stock, either.
As far as I know HTC has no dog in this fight, it's a company that supply a component exclusively to Nokia decided to sell it to HTC ,so no Nokia won't be dum to sue HTC .

I don't think the other threads mention that a supplier has stated that they cannot get the One because of the lawsuit. It is apparently having an impact on supplies.
But I agree it would have been better placed in the other xda thread.
I'm pretty sure the court dismissed the case so it shouldn't pose an issue for HTC

No, the court issued an injunction that keeps HTC from getting the microphone chip for 6 months. It was unclear from the press reports if HTC could continue building phones with their existing stock.
There is no delay anymore. HTC can still make phones with the existing stock of chips and have already received an alternative chip for it. Read it on engadget or something

I did read it. I have not seen stated the number of chips that HTC had when the injunction was issued.
As to alternate chips, I have read that HTC was studying the issue, not that they have found a solution.

Not sure exactly what you mean. The HTC Ones currently shipped used a microphone chip designed exclusively for Nokia products, with a 14 month clause saying it could not be sold to other manufacturers. A Netherlands judge just issued a worldwide injunction preventing HTC from using the microphone chip in their phones, at least for the next 6 months of time remaining in that exclusivity clause.
Gotcha...
