XDA/Samsung

Hello Guys,
My name is John, I recently became the social media analyst at Samsung mobile. I wanted to start opening the lines of communication between XDA and Samsung. First I wanted to say I have noticed your work on our devices on the XDA forums. I think you guys do an outstanding job, I myself am a developer for mobile devices. So let’s get down to business, we’re going to be in Austin from March 10-15 for the SXSW(south by southwest http://sxsw.com/convention). I was wondering if any of you guys are going so that we could meet up and share a couple of ideas I have. I am looking forward to meeting some of you GREAT developers!
Thanks in advance,
John

Awesome man, nice to see a hand out.....
any insight on when source will be released?
Did you hear about the #NeverAgain Samsung movement?

Bump, would love to see connections between XDA and Samsung to improve on the great hardware provided by Samsung. Too bad I am in Dallas though...

Very cool to get an official Samsung voice in here.
Want a suggestion? Samsung should pay out bounties to devs who do special things for Samsung handsets. For instance, did you know that Supercurio's work has turned the SGS into a credible audiophile DAP? It sounds better than many dedicated DAP + amp combos, which is extraordinary. Samsung should reward that!

Partnership
Partnership! That's the plan, you guys in my opinion, are the biggest influence to the android community.

If you guys are seriously planning on strengthening the relationship with XDA, take a cue from HTC, and put your source out quicker for us to play with. If you think the devs here are great now, open up that sandbox and you'll see what they can really do.
This is a great gesture though, I hope something great can come of it.

Partnership
Yes, I have been watching you guys work and I must say is very fantastic. I am here on behalf of Samsung to establish a partnership. Do you guys suggest me posting this in the development forums?

Nah, you'll get reamed if you post in the dev forum. I'm sure this thread has been noticed by all the dev teams.

Hi,
I suggest you to post a thread in the i9000 section, you've post everywhere except there, while it's the "main" branch of SGS
Does Samsung has planned to implement the wonderful Supercurio's work (like Voodoo great sound improvements) and to work with him?
Edit : I've read your're also a developper, so yes, you should post in dev sections

can you post your @samsung email so that we can verify you are the real deal? not to be offensive, but the internet is rampant with trolls and cons.

Welcome and thanks for joining us. Make sure you check out our devs and themers. There is some amazing talent here. And these guys do this as a hobby!

He's from samsung mobile usa that's probably why he didn't post on the i9000 section.

yes please, please make sure and confirm to someone here that you are the actual Samsung developer, we have many of these kinds of little kids who fake this, and that makes our trust go down on the real people.

Thank you developers

I am creating a thread because I don't know how I else can show my gratitude.
But I just want to thank all the developers that give us these ROMs. Its amazing how much work and effort you put into development just for us! A simple thank you is no way near enough.
I don't understand why some people (fortunately, just a few) complains over bugs, WLODs etc. - considered the many hours being put into it and given it away, we should be thankful even if the phone can't be turned on.
At the moment I am running Wolfbreak's ROM v. 054 without any issues at all! The battery lifetime is just mad!! 88% after +10 hours. For me, that's way better than SE 2.1 stock!
Again - Thank you

Yes very good job! Congratulation to jerapela wolfbreak zdzihu and all other who give us a perfect xperia x10!

Just an idea: by throwing some bucks their way!
I totally understand that times are hard and there are not plenty of money
to spare, but I bet each one of us can provide a dollar or two.

Awesome.. i'm sure the dev's appreciate it.
Yes XDA has given many new wings..

In my case - with Wolfbreaks amazing work, I've saved many 100$ (2000-3000-4000 Danish Kroners) by extending the life og my X10, instead of buying a new phone - so throwing a couple of dollars his way, is the least I can do, so I will definitely do that.
I believe that might be the case for many of those using ROMs by zdzihu, trip, jerpelea etc.

XDA provides the 'thanks' button feature for this. I'm sure no developers are gong to read these threads as a new one gets started daily. All this really does is clutter the forums with threads that help nobody. I know the XDA app doesn't have the thanks button (it should!) but if you want to thank them bad enough to start a thread how about opening the browser and thanking them officially instead, that way its actually reflected in their profiles here.

Of course I could "just" use the "thanks" button - but I felt that starting a thread and writing a few words of my gratitude was the right thing for me - regardless of the devs reading it!
I don't believe that starting a thread and say thank you is a wrong thing to do

VOTE for me...PLEASE

UPDATE:
Wow. I didn't even know this thread was still open. I'm so touched that you guys are visiting this everyday and voting. You are all so amazing. I wanted to say thank you and see if you would be willing to help me once again. Recently, my wife left and I'm caring for all three of our kids with Autism on my own. I don't know what happened but all I can do now is focus on the boys and try to keep us moving forward.
To do so, I've put together a fundraiser on gofundme. I'm not asking anyone to donate but I was wondering if you would be willing to share the link on Facebook etc. I would really appreciate it..... Thanks again for everything. You folks are amazing people.
Single Dad of 3 w/Autism Needs Help
Hey Everyone,
I need some help and you guys are just the people to do it. As you all know Autism Awareness is something very near and dear to my heart. In my never ending quest (in my newly discovered free time) to help spread awareness I listed my blog on a site called Picket Fence Blogs. VERY popular site. I need votes to keep me towards the top of the list. There aren't many Autism related blogs listed here and the more votes I get the more people will read my story and the more Autism Awareness is spread.
All you have to do is click this link. http://picketfenceblogs.com/vote/3616
When you click it you are voting for my Lost and Tired blog. It will tell you that you just voted for me. You can vote once a day. You can also vote from your phone as well (as it's a different IP address). Please feel free to share the link as you see fit. I don't get anything for ranking on this site accept sharing my story with more people.
UPDATE: I have been nominated for Daddy Blogger of the year on Parenting Magazines site. You have to sign up to vote but I could sure use so help there. You can opt out of emails form Parenting Magazine. I slipped out of 1st place a little while back but have made a comeback.
http://blog-awards.parents.com/blog-awards/mom_blogs/387-lost-and-tired
Anyway, I would really appreciate your continued support for this cause. I'm trying to occupy my time since I haven't flashed a ROM is 2 days 23 hrs and 17 minutes...twitch...twitch

Clicked the link, I can relate as I was home-schooled too.

ok then... Well thank you.

Request. How about a Banner with the link added to it? I'd be happy to rock a Banner =)

Clicked through. You're only a few votes behind #1!

Thanks everyone. You all never cease to amaze me.

I clicked! I watched a 20/20 video on you tube the other day about a teenage girl who has autism. It was pretty amazing because they put her in front of a computer and she was able to communicate. Shows you how the mind adapts even when it might not be able to communicate the way it wants to.

I clicked on the link I will make sure I save this to my favorite on vote once a day.

The same board are circulating thru the entire forum in search for the potential and deserving people to be recognized for there great help and contributions they made inside the community.
<>
As of now there are only two of us here (me and lucastan96 has the tag "Recognized Contributor" and obviously you know the reason why we have that special recognition. I can see that there are so many of us here are potentials and deserving as well to have that tag with the benefits to access special boards, meet new friends, entitled to have premium host and ads free accounts.
So for all of you guys wants to have that tag I am challenging and encouraging everyone to follow the path that we took.
Before we can nominate you to be one of us. Let us discuss here first who are deserving people to be nominated
Here are some question to answer.
1. Why are you deserving to have the tag?
2. Tell us something about your contributions and help. (with links on the contribution).
Note: The nomination will start here before we brought it up to RC Nomination Board. Lets us discuss here first if really the person is deserving for the Recognition

wow, nice thread.
I Think maybe b.jay or eagleyetom could be a recognised contributor. I dont know how many guides they have, but eagleyetom's thread on how to create a cm7 rom guide thing helped me

Yes they might be nominated as I can see some FSM with RC tag as well..

Im sorry, but you'd be wasting your time by trying to make me a recognized contributor...I can't become one because I have 1 warning and 1 infraction...so I will be turned down either way...I'm touched that there are those who would recommend me ...that's reward enough...and I recommend Irishstuff09, Wilbso, Spevky and Chris95X8 as recognized contributors

I am opening this thread because of these things:
Our regular thread got closed because of senseless OT,fighting,and egoism by some immature members.
I used to get all latest GS2 and android related news from it so far.
But now that thread stands closed and I cannot follow all the posts made in different threads daily because of my profession(we have a lot of friends in the same situation) I request all our Indian friends to come and contribute here about GS2 and Android EXCEPT

NO MORE APPLE/ANDROID BASHING

* If you dont have answer for any queries raised by a fellow user either ignore it or try helping him/her in a polite way.
* If you find some useless posts or feel someone is going beyond the rules simply report the post with appropriate reason, the rest will take care of itself.
* Sharing is knowledge!! share your knowledge of sgs2 and android as always.. it helps others a lot.

But seriously the last one was a good thread lot of nice helpful people and a good place to hang out

My dear buddies.. looks like this is going to be our new thread
Please keep in mind the following things before thinking of posting
* This thread represents a whole nation so pls respect it and keep the rants out somewhere.
* If you dont have answer for any queries raised by a fellow user either ignore it or try helping him/her in a polite way.

Though many of the senior members here know these rules, im pointing these things again specifically for the new users.:good:

@nelson
Yes this was like a hub where we used to share all S2 main related news. It used to be a summary kind thread where we used to know what all have happened in other parts of XDA or Android. Be it be a new ROM, a new app or tweaks or mods. Sad that old thread got plagued by lots of OT and mindless fights.
Hoping this thread will stay clean and much more knowledge oriented
Thank you for taking the initiative on starting his thread.
So now since the OP is now active in XDA (unlike the old thread) we can update some nice "must know points" as and when the days progress (like it's been done on S3 thread).

You have bookmarked some important posts in the older thread.[like H001]
Can u post them here so that they will be helpful for us and for any newcomer?

Yes, nice to see another thread. But I highly doubt how long is this gonna last. Just hope for the best.
Just a KIND REQUEST to the kids, please think thrice before posting OT and restrain yourself from posting if you aren't sure what you're doing and what's your purpose here, it's easy. There are PLENTY forums elsewhere, floating, where you can fight and argue about XboX, PS3, PC, Apple vs Android and blah blah and all those highly nonsense bull****, so why chose XDA? And please keep using proper English, this is not a literature topic that you need to show your language skills with your mother tongue, no one is interested.

The old thread is closed people. This thread will be too if all the posts rant about the closed thread.
Lets make a new beginning.
