Folks - Samsung is giving Galaxy Indulge users the hard shaft, and in the process, violating the GPL. They have been extremely unresponsive, and it's high time they're brought public. The Galaxy Indulge is the Epic's little cousin on MetroPCS.
Please read the following, and spread the word everywhere possible. Samsung's behavior is nothing short of shameful.

We should fight this for sure, if we let them get an inch, they will want a mile next year, we need to put a stop to this now before they are allowed to change the rules...

Would this be something to bring to the Electronic Frontier Foundation (https://www.eff.org/)?
I'm not sure if they would handle things like this but if necessary they have the funds to actively fight Samsung in court.

I'm not sure about that, but I sent email to the FSF and the Software Freedom Conservancy (on the recommendation of Randy T.).
since K0nane's explanation post mentions a broken netfilter, Harald Welte at http://gpl-violations.org/ sholuld be interested.
He has taken many companies to court for GPL violations of netfilter code and won. by June 2006, he had finished and won over 100 cases.
Just a thought...

Read a little more closely - they later uploaded a package with a working netfilter. That is not the problem.

Different people have asked me privately if I would mind if they nominated me to be an Epic 4g mod. So, I'm saying this so everyone knows. I thank those that think i'd be a good mod, I really do, but I don't have time to be a mod. I'm only on xda a lot because of the app, I'm hardly ever on a pc. And school and soccer are starting back soon. So, thanks, but please don't request me anymore .

Well its not... eh sort of just ordered my gnex today. Soo pretty soon here I will being jumping forums. Id just like to start an appreciation thread. I don't know if most people realize this but, this forum is in pristine organization. Looking at my new forum... it is SO unorginized so crowded, and people hardly get along. Here people collaborate, help, and inform. However we do have our flame wars.... but those are soon resolved. Also people here are very appreciative... I don't know how or what exactly I did to deserve 900+ thanks... but people sure do appreciate things. Anyways to wrap this up id just like to say thanks for the wonderful expierence with android and xda. Had it not been for the orginized and close-nit community we have here in the Epic 4g forum I would still be running an out-dated version of android or a bloated version.
Thanks
So here express what you are thankful for in this Community.
