State of the Os Address

Just read a article that someone posted in the xperia arc forums, and it has a chart with all US carrier pre-froyo phones and how long it took to update to froyo once it came out in may...
Aparrently, only like 7 of 41 pre froyo phones were updated o.o
Andof the samsung family tree, the intercept is the only one to get the update.
I wish I knew how to post links, cuz it was an interesting chart and It shows me we're not alone in this plight.
And, honestly, atleast we got a semi-official froyo build out...the x10 owners are stuck with eclair and a statement from sony erricson saying how they feel the custom 2.1 is on par or better than vanilla ui lol

This link has some info on it. Some guy says you can get it in the Sprint store. Until we get other confirmation though, I call BS. Then again I've also heard Tuesday may be OTA, which may corroborate the above statement. Either way, it is all complete rumor and no sources have proven to be reliable.

Wow sasung is just circle jerking. I wanna know what's so different in the vibrant 4g that it has froyo but the regular vibrant doesn't.
If I'm not mistaken, the only difference is the hspa+ radio and ffc right?
And nah you definitely won't be ale to get it from the sprint store lol and I doubt it'll happen this Tuesday. They're just hanging the carrot infront of our faces, but I don't cre to follow it anymore. If they decide to cut the string and give us the carrot, I'm happy, but now I'm just indifferent when I see it.

Samsung=1 phone
Motorola=2phones
Htc=3 phones

Galaxy note 2

Hi
On the note facebook site they just posted the Galaxy Note 2 due in 2013!
For those who thought this year its unlikely

Does Samsung own that particular Facebook page? It seems rather odd they would announce a 'sequel' to a product a few scant months after the first version of it was released...

2013 is a year away guy...

http://www.facebook.com/SamsungGALAXYNote?sk=info
Seems kind of fishy, considering there are only 23k fans of the page. With 2 million phone sales you'd think there would be more. But then again, big companies like to take down unathorized FB pages that could do the brand damage. Seems like a weird way to spill the beans though

Nice information...

Yes, but announcing the next version of a product a few months after the first version has been released will destroy the first version's sales... It's like Apple releasing the iphone 4s, then 2 months later revealing the iphone5 with much better specs. Who is going to want to get locked into a contract when they know the bigger and better is coming out a year later?

And by January's 2013 they'll announce note 3. Wohoo such great news!!! So actually you advise everyone to pause life and wait 11 months? I

FAKE ehehehe... Why would they release FB page for a 2013 product?

FAKE for sure. The graphics are terrible; they've been copied from the web somewhere in low res, probably converted to jpg and modified. Look at the white space around the pics; it's full of pixelated artifacts. Total amateur fake.

4g yes or no

recieved this email from hantec
Dear customer
.We are emailing to inform you that we will have the WHITE Galaxy Note II in stock later on*today*and will be dispatching orders placed for that model on Monday. We realise that you have ordered the TITANIUM model but thought we should ask you if you wanted to change to white as we are not expecting the titanium version until week commencing October 10th.Also, we have learned that the SIM free stock is not 4G capable, only 3G capable so if you wish to cancel your order for that reason then please let us know
No 4g do we really need 4g in uk as it isnt out yet but when it is the phone is not compatible what do u guys think

Well, I'm not in the UK, but I have lived my entire Mobile life without 4G / LTE. I've streamed netflix just fine, pandora or other music, downloaded podcasts, everything just fine. So do you "need" it? I don't think so. But I think extra bandwidth is always a good thing.
Btw, my average download speed was 1.6 mbps, sometimes higher, others lower.
Don't know if that helps any, good luck in your decision!

You only need 4G when you have poor 3G in you country/area.

yay I'm now a member.

LTE is WAY faster than HSPA+ even at 21Mbps due to its low latency. Please do not say "3G" is sufficient as I was so wrong to think that. Downloading ROMs in 15 minutes is a freaking blessing.

Cancelled Best Buy AT&T Note 3 Order Due to Delay Email

Originally Best Buy was talking about estimated ship dates of around 9/27. With all the delays, I knew it wouldn't ship around then, but I had hoped that it would ship by Friday.
I received the e-mail in the video this afternoon and after work I gave them a call. They couldn't give me any idea of when it would ship or if I was closer to the front of the line or the back of the line. The only reason I was trying to purchase through Best Buy was for points and sometimes even if they aren't running a special, they'll send you a $50 gift card. Happened with my S4.
Anyways, I think I'll sit this phone out. I'm sure it will be great. I guess it's Optimus G Pro until the next best phone after the N3.
Enjoy everyone. There's always a possibility that I will break down Friday!

Must not have wanted the phone in the first place

Huh?
You are going to sit out the N3 because you won't get it shipped to you as fast as you thought?

I do videos on phones, cases etc.
If I'm not going to be one of the first then the phone is a scrub for me.
My phones... LG Optimus G Pro, S4, HTC One, Cricket Admire 2, Verizon Note 2, AT&T Note 2, Cricket S3, Verizon S3, Sprint S3, AT&T S3, and I'm sure I've left some out.
Make a little more sense?

AT&T Note 3 4.4.2 Kitkat info

I was chatting today online with someone from ATT and I asked her about the Kitkat update for our Note 3 and this is the info I got from her.

Apparently the update was faulty.

They told me the same thing last saturday.

I'm amazed a "big news blog" hasn't posted anything about it then
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

Korean Note3/S4A(S800 variant) are getting bugfix and stabilize update like every 3 days or so, at least 10 updates after 4.4.2 release. Since AT&T does not like minor inclined maintenance updates, they will probably wait until it get settled and push all it once later.

To be honest I kind of like having the new software and having updates pushed frequently for example ios but if it fixes the bug and makes it more stable then I'm fine with that
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

So a CSR reading off a script or making things up says "The update was faulty, so they pushed it back to get it all fixed that way it didn't ruin the phones" qualifies as AT&T's genuine progress statement on 4.4 to you guys? We're a couple of weeks behind the other U.S. carriers and Rogers which means nothing may be wrong and the wheels of progress at AT&T are just slow(er). Some of us have been using the leak for two months and it didn't "ruin our phones" so you'd have to imagine the final build can't be worse than the leak. Of all the customer-facing priorities AT&T faces I'm sure getting the N3, a single device out of dozens they sell, updated to 4.4 isn't one of the most pressing. Especially because their average customer could probably care less.

Wow thanks for the info because I've been looking all over the Internet for something and no one has said a word about this "faulty update". You've been a huge help. Thank you!

Well I was getting spammed by her so I decided to end and close the chat and I copied and paste it to a notepad and deleted everything to only see the important part that was told. Maybe the leak was good but they started adding other material which made it faulty lol.

well this will be the other reason why they have not pushed it out waiting for 4.43
