As Galaxy S owners, we are all united. As Android users we are all united. As far as Samsung is concerned we are all NOT created equal. Our device, the Vibrant (SGH-T959), is now being left to the wayside for any future updates from Samsung even though our core specs are extremely similar to the Google Nexus S, which has already received the ICS update. The CyanogenMod team has left us due to the on-going issue of 911/e911 and the lack of the proper code from Samsung to alleviate a potentially fatal result of a custom ROM. It is our intentions to serve Samsung with a petition asking for the update to ICS, which will in-turn, alleviate the 911/e911 issue as well.
We are asking all Galaxy S users to sign this petition to get Samsung to reconsider giving all top end Galaxy S devices the ICS update. Please help us with our goal and sign the petition. If you are on a Galaxy S phone, this affects you too.
Thank you for reading this and please see this link for more details and this link to sign the petition.

Me too, if GS is not updated ICS, i never buy SS phone again.
Samsung have a very good reason to not update the device.
Begging them for the impossible is a waste of time.

I disagree.
We, the consumers, have a voice. Yeah sure they have our money but what they DON'T want is bad publicity. If they get that the people who HAVEN'T bought their phones won't, and the people who know whats going on won't. Thats a big population that will not be buying their products. If you don't know what #neveragain was it was a twitter petition started by one of our fellow Vibrant users. Vibrant was denied Froyo, and so we started that and it showed up EVERYWHERE. and Samsung granted us Froyo.
I would also like to know your "very good reason" that Samsung has to not update the devices.
ICS can run smooth on our phones, we have a stable build of ICS on our forums.

Don't worry fellow Galaxy User, this is not just for Vibrant users. This is for the entire Galaxy S series.
Spread the word, and thanks again for the signs guys.
I feel discriminated. Your petition did not mention the other galaxy s models like S PLUS (i9001).
Son, i am dissapoint.
I will sign this only if you add i9001 there aswell.

This would be exciting if we had received 2.2 back in September, when it was promised. Samsung is a joke, but we all know that already.

I really think Samsung does it on purpose. I've gone through so many scenarios as to why they are delaying FroYo for so long, and I just cannot reason it. I am certain it is on purpose. Why? That's the one million dollar question. Could it be to sell more Nexus S'? Could be. But no one knows for sure except Samsung...
I just don't see how a company as big as Samsung can't devote the manpower to put this thing together and up and running months ago.

Because Samsung never have to made products that needs long term commitmenets. They make TV, Monitors, and Flash Disks, and dumb phones which were all sales are final kind of product; as long as there are no large manufacturer defect, it's pretty much end of support - minus some lemons.
They did have the omnia series, but they develop the OS in house, but was also slow as hell to push out updates. That's the only counter argument I foresee.
Overall, Samsung is just very bad at software, kind of like Sony before PS3.
Tip! Only believe what Google says!

what year did they say 2013? As others have stated Samsung has failed to deliver on 2.2 I think 2 or 3 times now and keep pushing it back.
Why would anyone have any faith that they are going to release 2.3 when they can't even get 2.2 out?

True, Krylon did say he is legit, but still I have my doubts. I'm all for good news, not broken promises, or neglect.

If Kry says he's legit, he's legit. I wanna throw my guess to the big announcement-I think that they will not only release source but will have Vanilla android builds for those not wanting to wait for Touchwiz customizations (w/bloat obviously).
Gingerbread?
Now THAT would be an announcement.
One can dream.
Cant wait for the announcement, dont wanna get my hopes up but I hope it has to do with our favorite 's' word.
Again its funny and embarassing to see xda members direct thier complaints at you like you're some magic man that will end the nights they cry themselves to sleep over Samsung's mobile strategy. We appologize for them.

I am a bit skeptical about this announcement since user complaints seem to have fallen on deaf ears for a number of months. However, I hope this will really be something substantial that will sway myself and many other users towards purchasing samsung phones again instead of holding up #neveragain signs. If samsung would be willing to fix my GPS on my vibrant that would be amazing.

An announcement as to if and when T-Mobile gets a galaxy 2 is what I would like to know. The vibrant 4g is the phone the vibrant should have been out of the gate 6 months ago but I think that was probably tmobiles decision. We probably could have had the international version if tmobile had asked for it. My concern is that if they are getting the 4g version vibrant at the end of this month then its going to be a fairly long time if ever that we get the full featured galaxy 2.

Hi fellow XDA users and friends,
There have been alot of OTA leaks for JB in last few days. One thing that you might have noticed was that the Leak happened almost the same day when the FW was built. I mean if it was built on 21st Aug it was leaked on the same day. This might be coincidence but who knows.
If that was too easy to leak by Adam/Sammobile/farhyaab/samupdates then did Samsung manage to keep everything about S3 secret till launch date. No FW was leaked until the release date.
Now LH4(Build Date 14Aug) leaked and we downloaded, installed and reported bugs. Those bugs were fixed mostly in LH6(Build Date 21Aug) and there were others that popped up. Now some of those are still there in LH7 which will be fixed in LH8 and the probably Samsung will officiall release LH9 or LHB OTA.
So the point is, Google releasing Android updates quickly results in burden on manufacturers like Samsung who have very less time to implement these updates and then test it and then release to masses.
We around 2000 people on XDA update our devices report bugs and Samsung releases it's updates successfully. Now as we are working indirectly for Samsung, it should at least remove the clause of "Voiding Warranty" in case we flash the custom firmwares..
Your opinion??
I see Samsung as dealers providing flashing junkies with their fix. Has been going on since the S1 and hopefully will continue for years to come.

Haha, and we're all waiting for our next fix, I love it!
I see your point abouw warranty and beta testing, however while most of the people here know what they're doing there are some users here (and other sites where info generated here is distributed) that shouldn't be flashing. Looking at the leak threads, they're filled with people replying who don't have a clue. As there are some options available in custom ROMs which can damage your device like OC'ing, to me it's logical Samsung warns about warranty being void.
But warning is one thing, actually not repairing broken phones is another thing. I once returned a fully customized SGS1 which died due to being a bad batch. The service center wasn't making an issue at all, while there are some ways that they've could find out that the device was flashed. Maybe wait and see what actually happens when people bring in broken, flashed SGS3's (with flash counters >0) at repair centers.
As said if you want to beta test you give the samples to those that are capable .
Last thing you do is give it to the clueless .
Nothing to say that Samsung did not start out in the early days feeding stuff to XDA when it was a developers forum .

So after years of enjoying xda anonymously I had to ask: why the sudden secrecy about the ICS leak for the Atrix 4G?
I've been enjoying xda for my Bionic and over 'there' (lol) we don't care. If there is a leak we all go crazy and post howto's and upload it to a dozen fileshare sites, share info and just go buck ass wild.
Over the past couple of days I noticed there was a thread about a leak, then it got deleted, and ever since then it's "That ROM" and everyone is anal about providing info about it. What's the big deal? Really. Someone explain it.
I would love to get an ICS leak for my wife's Atrix 4G. She's having so much trouble with cellular data and Wifi it would be like a new phone to her.
I just went back to stock on my Bionic to wait for a soak test OTA for ICS I was invited for. If it works as well as the leak I've been running for months I'll be happy as a slinky on an escalator (sorry, had to use that one. It's from a US commercial and cracks me up).
So, what's the big deal with the secrecy?
The problem with XDA is perpetual misinformation.
Thread got deleted. People jumped to conclusions, thought it must be Motorola or some other company. Now everyone thinks if they keep it all "hush hush" that they won't realise people are bug testing and developing on the leak lol
The other day people got pissy and suspicious when someone who's been here for years (but only posted recently, sorta like how i started here) because he asked for AT&T APK's and logs (plaintext, anyone could comb through for personal info and remove it before sending).

I SAW THAT .. that was hilarious. I was really close to comment about that in my first post; something like "Don't worry, I promise I'm no undercover spook from Apple" (since they own the Atrix's fingerprint reader company now). Bringing Apple in here would have really stirred up some ****
I guess I'll wait until things die down and get organized. My wife doesn't like me messing with her phone so I need to get it right the first time lol
Initially there was a mis-understanding due to lack of information, people assumed and inferred too much from epinter's thread removal. Whether or not the paranoia is justified, fact remains that epinter wanted his thread removed and that some company wanted the leak hushed in XDA although they did not do it via the right channels.
Now I think it became the defacto standard to call the leak 'that rom', not due to paranoia but because people are familiar with that name. Its quite cool too, adds a story to our beloved phone.
We are all masons. That's why.

Yes. Only you know what is really going on. Only you are smart. But you won't be sued. You are anonymous but the board is not and I don't think they have enough money to go against software companies.
Be reasonable.

I do often think that I'm one of the few here who has a lick of common sense. But I guess it's easier to go with the smart-ass answer than admit you may be part of the problem, eh?

Interesting. Now, back to what I was actually talking about, re: people making baseless assumptions and running with them until they become convinced it's "the truth" (and presenting it as unsubstantiated fact). Any opinions on that, sir?

Says the person who won't even discuss the issue I brought up, who instead tries to deflect the issue by talking about something else? Okay, sure.
Atrix ICS/JB over due!!
Atrix deserves an ICS update!! Love this Phone.
Personally I feel that the community should set an example by creating a stable ICS/JB build for the phone.

You're new here, but don't ever expect anything from the community. They "should"? No, they shouldn't do anything, they don't owe you or me anything. Be happy with what they're already done.

Forgive my sense of humour...
If your wife insisting on ICS then the easiest solution is divorcing her, otherwise your marriage is safe in spite of her Atrix ownership.
A working ICS ROM is not going to happen from any ROM leaks unless Motorola finishs cooking the ROM. The support of ICS ROM by XDA members would be an issue, at least for me.

Cooking????? ROM??????
And why would a Firmware supported by xda developers be a problem for you?

Lol. My wife doesn't care what she runs but she has horrible issues with cellular data stability. I had too with my Bionic before I installed an ICS leak. That's why I'm banking on this leak.
I don't know the state of this leak, but if it is anything like the Bionic leaks it's good enough.

And if you ever feel the community should do something, set up an example and... do it then share with others.
Punit Soni needs to know that there is a lot of people intested in the kernel source of their incomplete work on ICS.
Let's ask him for that https://plus.google.com/111499908439497508351
I think it could help us to get an working ICS =)
Thank you Guys!
We were lucky to get anything other than a standard textbook reply from Motorola. Motorola will never release source as it has a lot of proprietary code and drivers to which they might no longer have rights to. Also, I can't imagine them releasing it only to be told that unpaid enthusiasts were able to do what their employees couldn't.

But if we get only the GPL sources, we could use the proprietary libraries in the leak. If the proprietary libraries are ok, then we could fix the problems with the leak's kernel (like battery drain, deep sleep).
In fact, looks like they have reasons to not release the GPL sources... But doesn't hurt to ask Punit Soni about it...

He isnt the vice president of moto. He is the vice president of product management. For about a month straight the atrix and photon community asked him over and over to do something to no avail. By all means, try again. But just saying, its been done before.
Well let's just add a layer of anger. I'm pretty bored of this crappy company not giving us what we need.
imho Punit is the guy that's responsible for the cancellation of ICS update. He was talking about bitter decisions before the announcement.
And as an employee of Google, he wont give anything that will give more life to Atrix.
If you want a phone with 4.x, sell your Atrix or work some overtime and buy another phone.

May I ask why are you still following Atrix threads and posting posts like this?! If you have or made decision to buy another phone, just buy it and leave others without your advises.

Thanks for the advice. But couldn't you tell me how to get 300€ to get a Nexus 4 ? I bought my Atrix 6 months ago and I waited something like 6 months to buy it.
I think its worth a try to get a reply of what he thinks of helping us!

I think we should make this as a hot post and
make atrix users post comments for need of atrix ics or kernel in his g+:fingers-crossed:
Krystian Plonski posted about engineering atrixes with enabled uart on headset jack. Let's put a "+1" on his request!!

Because I still use the Atrix, obviously. See how it does that nifty trick of saying what its sent with?
I'm not sitting here complaining about ICS for the Atrix. I use CM10 If you want ICS, get another phone. Very simple. Like me, I'm working overtime to buy another phone. But trying to spam a guy isn't going to get ICS on your phone.
And I should point out you are in the wrong place to tell someone they can't advise people abut phones.

This is not first time that you're giving that kind of advice. Someone is not willing to work overtime or just can't. Someone just like Atrix size and features, doesn't need anything better... So many reasons.
Actually you're wrong. I had Desire. HTC announced that will not be GB update. Community was so loud that HTC change its mind. If a lot of people request, Motorola must do something. The worst thing is to do what you did, buy another phone (doesn't matter which vendor) because that's exactly what vendors wish!

Buy Nexus. Problem solved. If you don't, don't expect updates. View them as miracles if they get pushed trough.
