their are rumors going around that the samsung moment will get 2.1 on the 22nd. if that is true would someone jsut be able to port that over to the hero pretty easily since they are both cdma?
just curious
We already have the CDMA drivers done on the leaked 2.1 build. All we need to put in are 1. Camera drivers 2. Bluetooth drivers
Toast just got multitouch working, so yay!
yeah true, well bluetooth is what i really need and I actually kinda like stock 2.1 more than sense, i think its mostly because ive had sense for awhile and like change.
sprint reps officially stated that there is no plan to release any update on the 22nd of the sprint forum.
It is well known that we are going to rollout 2.1 for the Moment, so that's not a new revelation. To me the intent of the article is to predict the impending release and I felt I should set the expectation. Many folks have expressed they are confused and they get conflicting information or no information/silence and they have been given promises that go unfulfilled. Just look at the comments following that article from folks who are certainly going to be disappointed even if it has been tagged as unofficial.
Yes, the target date is still 1H2010 and while I don't intend to address all future posts containing future date predictions, I feel it is necessary to disclaim the end of February rumored date. Customers who read that article should not hope that the 2.1 software will be available so please don't call the stores, please don't call Customer Care, please don't call Samsung taking a chance on the software.
Instead, monitor the situation here. This is your best source for data, I promised I would return from time to time with some updates and anyone who believes that know that if the software was that close to launching, I would have posted about it (basically means I am "coming back with an update as we get closer"). So I'm sorry I had to be so strong with my characterization of that article but with the high expectations for this update and I wanted to make sure this didn't go anywhere. No software for neither Moment nor Hero on 2/22, sorry. Please be patient and check back here."

well i dont go fully by that. I AM A SPRINT REP and work at a sprint corporate store and in all honesty people here at xda, gizmodo, endgadget etc... usually get info 10 times quicker than they tell the employees.

The whole point of Sprint's forum is damage control.
Do just the opposite. Call Customer Care as much as possible, Call Samsung / HTC.
yeah we really need this 2.1 update already.
As soon as the devs get the camera going i will run 2.1 as my daily rom. I dont use bluetooth so that doesnt matter
Anyone want to trade a moment for a hero? The keyboard or lack there of is killing me. I ve had the hero since release you would think I would be use to it by now.

Im with you on that.. and i can type pretty dam fast on it.. but its always wrong.. and I noticed its hyper sensitive... for instance, if i hover a finger over a virtual key it thinks Im long pressing it.. even though Im not touching it.. and if another text comes in while Im typing the key being pressed for that moment gets long pressed..
Haha I'm totally opposite you guys. I HATE physical keyboards. Back with AT&T, I switched a Samsung Eternity out for an Impression... big mistake. Not only the was the added bulk incredibly annoying, but the keyboard was SO innacurate, I just gave up on it and used the virtual keyboard. Trust me, virtual keyboards are better (if the keyboard isn't crap!). But have you guys tried Swype? I've been using it instead of the HTC keyboard, and I can type pretty accurately and fast now with it.

Yeah I did swipe for about a week. My main issue with V-KB's is that they take more focus. Its not that its anything wrong with it, I just cant bang out a text like I could on my Touch Pro.
As matter fact, I find myself not texting people back because I get annoyed with the KB, but seriously whats the best route for trading.
You only need to read the first 3 paragraphs below to get the idea, but Google and Verizon are talking about a deal to throttle internet speeds to websites that can pay more money.
Anyways, here's a link to a pre-made email to send, all you have to do is put some info in. http://freepr.es/bXFB7i
I don't really want to sound like I'm some spokesperson about net neutrality, I just agree with it, and I think this is a bad deal, so I'm trying to get the word out best way I know.
Google is about to cut a deal with Verizon that would end the Internet as we know it.
According to a front-page New York Times story, the deal allows “Verizon to speed some online content to Internet users more quickly if the content's creators are willing to pay for the privilege."
It would create fast Internet lanes for the largest corporations and slow lanes for the rest of us.
That’s why we’re starting a mass protest by Google users to stop these two companies from joining forces to sell out millions of people like us who use the Internet.
If Millions Join Our Call, We Can Stop this Deal: Tell Google, “Don’t Be Evil"
Google’s motto is supposed to be “Don’t Be Evil.” But this deal puts the company in bed with the devil.
From the beginning, the Internet has been a level playing field that allows everyone to connect to one another and the world of content available online -- whether it's ABC News or your cousin’s wedding video. There’s only one Internet, and it shouldn’t matter who your provider is or whether you're logging on from home or your cell phone.
This deal will change all of that, allowing Google and Verizon to pick what websites you can see over others. The result couldn't be bleaker for the future of the Internet and for free speech and independent voices online.
Founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin created Google to make information freely available to everyone online. But this deal is a complete reversal that abandons their core principles:
Sign this letter and tell Google’s founders:
“Your Verizon deal IS evil, and it must be stopped.”
It’s up to the millions of people who use Google every day to tell the company to do the right thing.
Google must walk away from this bad deal, and make sure Internet users everywhere can enjoy the entire open Internet wherever, whenever and however they want.

It isnt just Google..this is really getting to be a big story. Check this story out.
http://www.cnn.com/2010/OPINION/08/05/franken.net.neutrality/index.html?hpt=C2
I havent had a chance to really dig into this but if it is as the couple stories I have read about it suggest this is not good.
Net Neutrality has been a big issue for awhile now. Google was known for fighting for it. That's why this was such a big deal. Turns out it to be false.
if this is true it could very well be android related as Verizon could shut HTC and other manufacturers out. i would like a more firm statement from them

They could I suppose, but HTC makes phones for them too, and they could probably afford to have the speed increase if this were true. I don't know why Verizon would do that.
I don't follow news very well, but it looks like both Google, and Verizon, have denied this.
I haven't read into it much, but sounds like it's false. I'm glad Google is fighting for net neutrality, which is why when I heard about this alleged deal, I was upset at Google.

Good luck. Didn't we just see the news that Android is killing the other mobile platforms in sales? I still believe in Google. They fought against Apple and MS, and now they're taking serious ground. They'll do the same if they meet opposition from another front. But, yes, they do need to state their position unequivocally and officially.

yeah... clearly they are. but RIM is still top for business solutions. I just hope it stays that way. Android should keep their noses out of business [to an extent] and RIM should keep their nose out of social networking/more of an entertainment arena. at least for now. neither has a grasp fully on the other and trying to do so will just water down all phones

Nothing as crazy as your example though.

The phone bases its suggestions on letters that are close to the word typed. Look at that anal is pretty much the same keys just off by one letter for A and L. Not be an as$ just informing you. The system is actually pretty smart working like this.

Never live in the past but always learn from it.
Their whole point to introduce this device as a security featured phone that can be adopted in the corporate world. Hardware encryption, the use of Webex for secure meetings, Kies security for remote management.
Well face unlock is a really bad feature since it usually works with pictures too... If they fixed that, it is a great feature.
wow, thats crappy.... We will have to wait and see how it functions.
i'll say they should replace it with a Eye Retina Scan

It just seems to me after I spent 500 dollars on a device [tab] and another 300 on the phone , they might be willing to at least throw in a couple of online extras for free....wishfull thinking I guess...

I tried to find an official Samsung forum after reading this.. There is nothing on the UK Samsung site and Google turns up nothing either, other than XDA, lol!
Are you referring to the Samsung developers forum? As that's the closest I found to an official forum.
I think he has gone to some third part forum or some private samsung forum for developers which requires membership.
