Love My Epic D700 but, Dan Hesse Letter! (Idea's, Rants and or General Suggestions!)

I remeber back in my crackberry mod days,
We made ways for sprint to push updates and take us seriously about our phones by writing letters to Sprint's CEO! We were the new jacks from Nextel so we had a force like non-other... You bring a city hood chirp to the smartphone world and ain't making us happy?
Well... that's another thread!
This thread is about email bombing, sprint CEO dan hesse! Let's gather some ideas for those who like to write and let their presence be known as an idividual and unique type of smartphone users! We got " Galaxy S, Gen1 " devices with keyboards! What's up with either a new Similar product, with a Keyboard? Idc where the factory is that makes it but, give me an upgrade! Let there be a phone like this but better on a different network, y'all gonna lose my 1000 dollars a year! I'll give them 1500 dollars next 2 yrs for a bigger screen with keyboard!
Ok I need that rewritten!
But added to with different ideas and prespectives! I want to hit the frequency that taps Dan Hesse's creative nerves! Help us Help Us!

Emails are easy to block and ignore... the primary reason physical letters are effective in large enough numbers, is because the post office is obligated to deliver every single letter - and thousands of physical envelopes stuffed with letters will take up a -lot- of space in the office... emails, not so much...

We need your support - T-Mobile/Samsung - Give us an update!

If you want more information on this topic please visit the new, redone, 'We Need Your Support' thread at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1427969 ​
We have gotten no news of any kind of update for our Samsung Vibrants. No Gingerbread update, not even a small 2.2.1 update, and I honestly believe that's just plain wrong. This has nothing to do with this phone being too slow or too old to run Gingerbread, heck.. it can even run Ice Cream Sandwich. And before you stop reading, no.. this isn't one of those threads that is just posted to complain, we have to do something about this. Maybe some people don't care for an update, maybe some don't understand what an actual OFFICIAL update could do for us users and devs. The lack of support for this device from both T-Mobile and Samsung has been horrible. Ask a representative from T-Mobile about an update, they'll say; Oh, It's coming.. Samsung is working on it. Ask a representative from Samsung about an update, they'll say; It's being worked on.. no ETA. So now, either both of the companies are clueless of their own product, and honestly don't know what is going on, or they just won't give us a straight.. 'No, you won't be getting an update.' which I think is dumb. I got hooked on Android because of it's openness, the support and the community. One of the only major updates that we got was through KIES, it wasn't even OTA. Maybe most of you don't care, but T-Mobile and Samsung should do right by us. I don't care about getting the latest and the greatest, I honestly would respect both Samsung and T-Mobile more if they gave us a straight answer.
So, what I'm asking is.. please help us by signing this petition and spreading the link wherever you can, because we have the power to fight this, we have the numbers and we can do it. This phone isn't super old, it's one of the best phones I've owned. Samsung did a great job with it, but that gives them no reason to stop supporting it. I got this on a two year contract, they should atleast support it for two years, and simply because it's in the Android spirit.
Link here: http://www.change.org/petitions/bri...-s-varients-samsungt-mobile-give-us-an-update
Please feel free to spread it on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, anywhere you see fit! If we get some headline news on Android blogs and sites, that'd be great, too!
Samsung and T-Mobile, we need an answer.

Will be signing this petition in the morning.

signed, guys common we need ALL of the vibrant members to do this.

Why do they need our address...I'll sign, but I'm worried about that only.

just put something random down thats nearby.

I agree, but use US adresses. This phone US only.
I think we should write about the situation in each posts in all official T-mobile Facebook, Google+, .... pages.
People need to know about T-mobile poor support and poor attitude to customers.
https://plus.google.com/u/0/101502056223282249599/posts

Some i9000 users have helped us out.
But like I said, keep posting, tweeting it, sharing it.
It's our turn to get something.

Great idea! I hope this will make a difference.

Signed. Really hoping we get somewhere, but won't be putting any money on it

signed and sent the link to galaxy s twitter account..they should also know what is going on

Just signed it. Also, someone should contact neobuddy89 and ask him put a link to this petition in his ICS Passion v9.1 ROM thread. If that were done then this petition will gain a lot more recognition from the community because so many people visit that thread daily.

A message for invitation donors
Please send invitations according to the list (the person at the top gets the invitation first).
Please don't post here if you wish to sell your invitation. Be good. Donate it to someone needy.
If you don't understand who is on the top of the list and to whom you must donate, pass on the donation to me and I will give it to the correct guy. Don't worry, I will give you all the credits for the donation. I am saying this because sometimes there may be a delay in updating the OP and maybe the same guy keeps on receiving multiple invitations until the OP is updated.
If you give an invitation according to the list, post about it here so that I can add it in the invitation exchange history.
Send the invitations only through private messages. Don't post the invitations publicly.

A message for invitation seekers
Please be patient. Everyone eventually will get an invitation.
Don't sell an invitation after getting it from here. Anyone found doing that will be reported.
If you requested your name but don't find it in the list, please have a look at this post and request again.
Once you receive an invitation, please ask me to receive your name from the list.
If you receive an invitation through this thread, post about it here so that I can add it in the invitation exchange history.

Nice you have opened it. It will be good to request invites. I think people will start getting invite just few days before 2nd dec. Correct me if i am wrong.

Cool bro.
All we can do now is wait for someone to kindly pass along those invites.

I got two messages from Amazon on different email IDs that I have won the invitations!
If that is indeed true and none of my relatives need an invite then I'll share it here.

I never did.
But I did order one OnePlus One almost a week back using the international invitation.
Maybe because I'm an existing customer I got a few more invitations. But unlike the previous invitations, this email clearly says that its and India specific invitation.

Abhishek, would it be possible for you to share an invite? I've sent you a PM and you can help me with one if you've got an invite to spare. Thanks in advance.

Can i get one... my Family member are like going crazy jealous on my ONE!!!
They say you dont anything for us... you just keep good stuff to yourself... & One of them is About to clear a Medical Exam.. & he wants One As a Gift!
So his parents are on to me... i have international invite but i need a INDIAN one...I'm ready to share it! (expires in 4days-30nov)
Thanks alot! @AbhishekS
Warm Regards

Leaving comment in hope of getting just one invite. Will share the rest here if they send out some to me after purchase.
At present, I hope everyone instead of just waiting for an invite are also registered on amazon 1 in a 1000 contest by subscribing to the one subscription. Helps raising chances of getting invite overall.

1 in 1000 means... only a single user will get a invite.... not everyone gets it!
its rather misleading!!! but yeah better than nothing i guess!

Keep calm guys! If I do get the invitations as said by Amazon, I promise I will share AT LEAST over here.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

The only advantage I see of the Indian specific invitation is the charger.
With my US purchase I have to use an extra device to connect it on Indian sockets. That's the only drawback.
Apart from that, asking a relative to get it from US or some other country is not only quicker but a cheaper option too. \
But if you don't have anyone living there then yes the Indian specific invitations are your only choice.

Right now there's a forum post saying that they would hand over invites to all those 1000 participants. I am not sure if Ill be getting one as I went the round about way by just subscribing to the mailing list through the amazon subscription setting unlike those who clicked on the link and were automatically added to the subscription.

Yeah, we'll be waiting for invite to buy an year old model, while the world will be buying the newer version.
That's just playing foul with Indian customers.
I'll just buy a Nexus 5

Would have loved a Nexus 6 if it was 5.5". But the main problem is price. Though I pay for my own mobile from PlayStore app sales, I still can't justify to my parents buying a 45K mobile

I finally got invite to buy one from the recent amazon contest. Will try to share here if I get invites to share post purchase of the phone. Hopefully it'll be as good a phone as all those clamoring around it say it to be.

Good to know someone got an invite.
I'm desperately waiting for one..
After 3yrs of using my current phone I'm very excited for a new device.
Hope i get an invite soon.

We were all having some fun and blowing off steam...no offense!!! But tell me..how did you miss $300 worth of unauthorized app purchases?

Google sent out an email. Some lawsuit about kids charging parents accounts from 2011 to 2014, you have to go you your account page and check which apps you say we're purchased without your consent. Then they review them and refund them. I don't think they review anything. They just refunded all of man

Fraud is always fraud even if they aren't checking.

That's probably something I wouldn't posted about on a forum. Like the post above this is certainly fraud.

Get devs a G4 gofundme

I started a gofundme account to get the proper devs a couple G4s to help with unlocking the bootloader and attaining root. If you have a few bucks, throw it in the pot and I will get the money to whichever devs think they can get the work done!
The donations made will be split 50/50 between @autoprime and @thecubed to purchase 2 devices of their choosing, anything extra will go directly to them for any necessary supplies.
MOD EDIT by @gregbradley
Thread closed link
If you have any issues with money already donated please PM the OP, this has nothing to do with XDA, this is why we do not condone crowd funding.

Where's the link?

Well people like YOU are awesome who take the time of out your already busy schedules and develop for us! When I get paid Thursday, I'll be making a donation. My first non-Sammy phone in 3+ years and first one with unlocked BL in over a year so I will be "making it rain" to all the devs I can so I can have some development on this phone! Thanks again! (to all devs as well)

When I get paid on Friday I'll drop a few duckets in the bucket.

Same here. Been in-between jobs at the moment and don't start new one till June 8th, but I think I get my severance from my last job this friday.

How does this work? Which devs would get a phone? And for 1500 you can only buy 2,5 phones. Obviously the international version should be purchased as well right?

You donate, money goes towards the devs. One already commented on here ( @thecubed ) and not sure of the others. Phone is only like $550, but I'm sure a few extra bucks will be fine. Pfft international version? 'Murica!

I set the goal at $1500, but it can very easily go over. The money will be split 50/50 between @autoprime and @thecubed. If the device only costs $550-600, the rest goes into their pockets for any other supplies necessary and as a thank you for their time.
