Too bad its for the GSM I9000, so has absolutely ****-all to do with the fascinate.
If this were under xda/general someone might care. But we are in the U.S. on a carrier that is notorious for extra testings and build rejects. VZW is on a way different schedule than the rest of the world.
Froyo=slow galaxy device.
good day.
EDIT: Well, some will say this effort had no impact, others will not be so naive and realize the voices of MANY of you were heard. Really applaud everyone... regardless if it helped or not, Samsung has stated that they have heard us AND that it's something they are not used to, but will make an effort... I feel like this is success.
OTA should start tomorrow. Source should be released very shortly after that:
http://opensource.samsung.com/
THANK YOU ALL FOR HELPING!!!
For those not certain why this thread was created: PLEASE READ
--------------------------------INITIAL POST BELOW------------------------
I generally remain calm and try and remain upbeat and defend... but the news (rumor/leak) about Samsung holding off the froyo release to sell more phones set me over the edge.
While nothing is confirmed, I still believe Samsung needs to be aware of just how pissed they are making our community. I'm not talking stupid class action, blah blah... I simply want our voice heard, and for a Froyo release to happen ASAP... but beyond that, I want them to adhere to the Open Handset Alliance and release their source for our developers.
http://www.openhandsetalliance.com/
I believe we all now who is going to put out a better product, and right now they (our developers) are handicapped because they do not have everything they need.
That said, we need to be organized!
We need twitter to trend AND we need to spread it all over Facebook! I am ignorant and have no interest in learning Facebook. I know the majority of you use it daily so I am going to rely on you guys for that!
To do this on twitter, we all need to use the same #hashtag. We also need to threaten something that means something to them... the whole problem is they are not updating to help with their sales (allegedly). Well, we need to threaten to never buy Samsung again.
Please use this #Hashtag:
#NeverAgain
would work.... it is easy to use, short and to the point.
An example: (just copy/paste this if you like)
[email protected] & @Samsungtweets I will never buy a Samsung product after the way you've treated your customers. #NeverAgain

I don't have twitter or anything, but for this cause, I'll make one...
Still on my vacation till the 12th of Feb...
Ill try to do it on my phone.
Yes, a vacation of 3 months, hehe!
Sent from the helm of Vibrant Territory!
Awesome, please do what you can people... the whole point is to be organized, make it trend on twitter and Samsung will be forced to respond. Maybe that is why I am so upset, they have not made any effort to debunk these rumors.
I personally am tired of defending them...
Do u suggest I keep saying it or just like once a day?
to be most effective, I think you should post this is all US galaxy s variant forums. Fascinate, Epic, Captivate, and the other one or two. Get all US Galaxy S users to do this too!
btw, i dont have a twitter account or have ever used it. any suggestions on how to post your message once i create a twitter account?
EDIT: i just set up a twitter account, how do i post that hashtag to samsung?
Creating an account is super easy (and the best way to keep up with our developers). Once you have the account created, just PM me if you need help.... you could just copy/paste what I have in the OP if you like.
#NeverAgain... waiting for a dual core HTC on TMO then dumping the vibrant...
I would never ever imagine this coming from you but you actually did a pretty good thread. I don't think it would make diffrence, people aren't going to follow up, XDA is a small portion of all samsung phones.
Like someone said samsung is known for their eletronics that are release as is, no follow up update. As big as they are they become greedy. Its a company out out for money, "making a new phone with new software" will get the most sales.
If they give us froyo now it will drop their new phone sales dramactecly (spelling). Because an old phone will be cheaper then a new phone The vibrant 4G isnt really a big update besides the FFC and HSPA+. Thereby the orignal vibrant.will get.bought.
Another thing to think about is when the vibrant 4G/plus gets out we will not get froyo right away, maybe a month after.

K, done. I doubt it will have any effect on whether we see updates for our Vibrants but at least I've contributed to the "user outrage", such as it is.

10 hrs? That's plenty of time. Most people don't bid until the end anyway. Look up 'sniping'. If thats what they still call it these days.
No wonder these are cheap; they are not brand-new.

does ebay let you bid on your own auctions?
maybe, if you win it, you can ask yourself if you can just pick it up from yourself...so you wont have to pay shipping to yourself?

You can't estimate what an item will sell for on an eBay auction because the real bidding doesn't start until there is about 1 hour left.

I've been putting them on my watch list to see what they are selling for. The average prices for 16 gig have been somewhere about 365 plus whatever the seller is charging for shipping ....so your right in there
The bundles with dock aren't fairing so well. If you sold better to split them up.
Cool. I want a dock, maybe I can buy the bundle and break it up.
FYI: I start everything on e-bay for $.99 and haven't been burned once.

you say in regards to buying a Galaxy Tab

and from polara360's buyer feedback

dude the fact that I'm bored and you posting an arrogant "FAIL" comment I just had to look into this... around the same time your posting about a Galaxy tab car charger polara is buying a Tab car charger vi ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150600743067
Your posting from a HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App, polara just bought http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330567053867 (4 skins for HTC Sensation 4G)
from a quick cross reference of your posts and all the items polara has bought on ebay i say BS to coincidence
After it's been released please post on this thread a list of any online retailers stocking the Samsung Galaxy S3 and state what country the website is in,etc this should be helpful to others on here.
