Hard Work & Big Lists - SamsungJohn & Phase II?? - Epic 4G General

I want to start by thanking ALL the members who compiled bug lists to submit to SamsungJohn. And to all those who dug deep into bugs, found coding errors and made effective repair patches. Great work one and all.
I understand SamsungJohn was probably overwhelmed by the responses from the XDA community. However, I was a bit disheartened by the "canned" responses I received in response to PM's with very specific questions.
To the forum I ask, Has anyone been provided any information on what Phase II is or when it will be implemented?

What was Phase I? The "give me your questions" thing?

I'm still wondering where SamsungJohn ran off to ?

I thought he was hanging out at xda to learn...?
Or did he not like what he was learning and leave?

Well, he's probably lurking around the forum. I have a feeling that if he posts without some "real" information that the flames will be EPIC

He works for Samsung. You expected open and honest communication?

Senior Status?

I always wondered how you got senior status. I am older than dirt so I knew it wasn't age. I have been a member since March 2006 so it is not how long you have been a member. I am smart, good looking, and modest but no one could know that.
Then I hit 100 posts and I became a senior member but I did not get any bonus gift or anything like that. Old age is not for sissy's and life is tough.
Edit: Now it shows "OP". Maybe that means "Old Person".

The only playa I knew anything about are the playa lakes around lubbock but then I did the google thing and found that a playa could also be "Playa, colloquial spelling of "player".
Outdated player would fit fit me.
Getting a reply from the famous Toast was cool.
Edit: Also found out what l33t stood for. Now I can be a l33t outdated playa.

ATTENTION PLEASE regarding J.Anderson

hey guys. thought id fill you in on some info then ask for a favour
as you all know j.Anderson is a tremendous pain in the kneck. and has been banned for being one.
however another thread popped where you all speculated its was his second account. the thread was deleted but im here to tell you it was his account.
the reason im telling you this is because now i know he is not beyond making sock-puppets to make stupid posts
so the favour i want to ask is, if you see a post that seem familiar in wording or content. as well as reporting via the correct methods could you also let me know.
weve had this issue before with another user not long before 2.1 was due to be released and i dont want it to happen again
thanks in advance
PiLoT
Will do, chief!
I am absolutely convinced that he is mentally ill, possibly even schizophrenic. I think he really believes that he has some secret or unique knowledge. Some of his posts at talk.sonyericsson.com are even more puzzling.
yeah i agree his posts are nonsensical. i remembered the other user i had trouble with. Its was iHim.
Looks like the neighborhood watch is now in effect! We'll be on the lookout! That goober's posts stick out like a flasher in a trenchcoat at the playground and he's likely in the same state of mind.

If I (or anyone for that matter!) help you, dont be afraid to press THANKS!

Hey guys I found the keys...

(take that file and unlock the phone)
then open file manager and type this into system/app
*DURR..... AHHH DURRRR*
i'll post more soon once i get online
(just a heads up as to what to look for)

I have a favor to ask :)

I'm not going to be able to be on xda 24/7 like I usually am for the next two weeks. I am asking this community to please keep me informed by private message of any new developments like: News on the GB update, news on the WiThin, etc. I'll have the app set to notify me of new messages every hour, so this would be very much apreciated. I ask this, because two weeks of catching up would be a lot of work lol.

I didn't say he was trolling, I was providing an example of what trolling is. Call me what you wish, it doesn't change the fact that he didn't search enough to not have seen other threads about recent .rdf leaks.

Your right you didn't. I just don't see why you have to hop on every thread that the op didn't thuroughly search google for. You know a lot of us are on tapatalk or xdaapp and its impossible to search. And besides this is the only thread discussing this current build, if it wasn't it'd be another story and you'd be right to flame him for not even looking through the first pages. I'm really not trying to argue with you, you seem like a cool, informative person I just wish I didn't see you on so many threads in every subsection chastising people for not searching or whatever, it gets old.. and this is general! Nobody cares about general!!!

This is way more deserving of it's own thread than the other 75% of pure crap that gets posted in here. If an official software release version for this phone doesn't deserve it's own topic, than nothing does.
Now back on topic, here's hoping this is the actual release build and we'll see it within a couple weeks. The last leak ran great other than a couple bugs.
Actually I'm at work and saw it there while playing around on my break. I did a search for EF29 on the xda search tool and got no hits so I started the thread.
Begin rant (not targeted at anyone individual)
It's really sad the every f*ckin thread in the general section has to turn in to this. Can't anyone just appreciate that someone takes time to post information? This is way better than the 250 see ya bye, the epic sucks, or threads about other phones in the epic section. I'm really starting to see why the developers are leaving this site. The site I came here from wouldn't put up with this crap at all. You get 3-4 post like what happened in this thread and it get's closed and warnings go out to the instigators. Who want's to put up with this crap? I'm hoping this is my last post in this thread, but somehow I doubt it.
End rant
@063_XOBX: Why would I add place info about EF29 in the EF16 thread? People first look at a thread by the title, not by what's buried 100 posts in.
