If anyone can confirm which ones are official and which ones are fan based, it'll be greatly appreciated.
The ones in the Mobile Department and Country specific are definitely legit, anything else are most likely fan based sites.
- NEW full list of legit Samsung Twitter accounts -
http://twitter.com/Samsung/lists
And where to write them now, that their filessytem is bad, and thy should use another one? like ext2/4
i think this is why you posted it here, cause we were talking about an official letter by xda, about what we found out etc.
and you said its better to contact them via facebook.
so any idea how to start something big, that they notice, they have to change the FS and fix gps and all other problems?
the way we did it last time to get the 3 button fix, is simply by everyone posting into the wall about the problem
the more people that post the better
so everyone needs to join in to comment on the problem about the lag, so that they can fix it
Thank you for these links. Very nice organised list!
thank you for sharing these infos,i just sent a e-mail to the samsung, through facebook i think is a better way to contact with them.
It's a good list....... and I thank you for your efforts in trying to build a forward list of users wishing to express their opinions.
Unfortunately Facebook (or any other portal for obtaining information) does not interest Samsung.
I and many others have already posted on Facebook and not once has Samsung come back.
An example being in the past week quite a few have posted asking for a Froyo update..... When Samsung finally came back (and it was just the once) they spouted off about a competition. They totally dismissed any of the pleas and have not been heard of since.
I've also tried on Twitter which according to the UK P.R. Manager for Samsung is the media of choice.
Again, NOTHING!
I still think direct communication and getting the news to tech sites (Engadget, Phandroid ect) could be much more effective.
You really expect the engineers are Samsung to browse Facebook and read the loads of crap that their pages get flooded with? Professionals have better things to do with their time.
Direct communication can get through to high ranking people and developers, seeing news about their software screw-ups on major websites will encourage them to act.

That is also my opinion.
Again I commend AllGamer in trying to inject enthusiasm into this issue but I personally have found the direct line of approach to be more rewarding...... even if it still does not bear fruit at this stage.

Sales people and Marketing team cares about Image, and when you pressure the sales team, they will get into action.
I've been through many large companies, the companies runs based on the feedback from Sales/Marketing team
It doesn't matter what was the big picture the Development Team had in their plans, all that will go up in smoke the moment the Sales Team announce another "feature" or "new product" even though it wasn't even on the original road map, the Developers will have to do a full 180 to go and work on the new stuff the Sales people are selling, even though it's all vaporware.
the GPS issue we know they are working on it already, although they never officially admitted it
We did it with the 3 button SPL fix, and we got results, we can do it again with the Lag issue as well.
The reason it worked is because everyone chirped in, when you do it on your own, or with just a few people, it wont work, you need the support of the masses.
As long as everyone pitch in and give them the same message they'll have to acknowledge it
Good points. It's not impossible to take both approaches of course.
Cheers for this. Almost worth signing up to Facebook again - almost. As someone else has said, at least in the UK, Samsung's preferred social media site is Twitter. And if you look through tweets mentioning @samsungukmobile, all you'll see is lots of people being ignored. By all means give it a try, but personally, I'd recommend not putting all of one's eggs in one basket, so to speak. Instead bombard them through all available communication channels - e-mail, Twitter and Facebook. And wherever else you can think of...

You are correct about Sales and Marketing.
A large Multi-National company was evaluating a product I developed under an exclusive option.
R&D loved it and had all kinds of plans for it.
Sales and Marketing didn't know what to do with it.
At the end of the option period it was dropped.
Head of R&D resigned in reaction to the decision.
In the end, Sales and Marketing rule.

That was me.... On that, Samsung have not posted on that page since the 20th Sep but what is worse is I have replied sending two tweets and not one has shown up on their twitter page.
Have a go.... post a message to @samsungukmobile and I bet your message does not show up on their page.
Now I know why it is their page of preference..... Tweets are being deleted.
this is why we need an organized effort to post on their walls, tweets, emails from all fronts
Their sales/marketing people can't spend a whole week deleting messages from their accounts

Yup. Been there, done that, still waiting for a response. They're not deleting tweets btw, as they're only being mentioned so don't have the power. Instead, they're just ignoring them, because they're wankers.
that's the difference with Facebook, they can't just ignore it
and if they Delete it from facebook, then you know they did read it but did not want to touch that topic
yet if they leave it on their facebook page, they will get criticized if they don't answer it

It does work we got Samsung Canada to release the 3 button update.. Via Facebook... After a few post about the problem Samsung Canada replied that they are looking into to the issue.. they even asked for more info from some users.... about 1 week later Samsung Canada updated us saying they found the problem and would be release a fix soon.. a few days later the update was released. and they even thank some people for bringing the issue forward to them.

Bear in mind that, just because something works for one national arm of the company, it doesn't mean that it will always work for others...

Galaxy S3 on your experience here will be very useful to share with friends.

OK. Thanks for your notify.
Hi,
It is not allowed to post here in the languages other than English. So please first write in English then Turkish under it.
I support this topic since there is no actual global company in our counrty. For example Samsung Turkey is actually an independent Turkish company who has permissions to use Samsung's name and buys devices from Samsung. Just like a tech market whose name is very very similar to Samsung with its own after sale services.so they are not really related to Original Samsung. Fortunately it has an agreement with the real Samsung so if they really fail on providing services we can still write to Samsung and they can give warnings to Samsung Turkey.
But here is how it works in my country: first you go to the service with a broken phone and then they take it for repairing and tell you nothing unless you call and ask for a 100 times a day and get your phone aswered if you are lucky. According to the law they have only 20 work days to either repair or replace the device but they always tell you that law is not valid when the phone needs to be replaced even if you go there with a paper printed the law in your hands. Therefore they blame Samsung for holding them for waiting the new device and they add it could take a couple of months. So you find yourself either trying to find some high rank employee there to speed things up (because this is how things work in my country shame on us ) or threatining the guys by telling them you will be waiting just outside of the service senter where the street cameras are not present when their shift is over with a couple of guys with beysball bats..
One least used method is to use public press by writing to the right places, making complains to the right departments and gathering together with people who got this attitude from Samsung Turkey. Once we are crowded enough and it is about to come to the press then they start to remember they have to obey the law "suddenly"..
And I believe this topic could save us from using the first 2 methods.

We’ve managed to score a system dump of the Facebook phone! There’s nothing in it that’s too earth shattering, and you could probably guess most of the features, but, since we’ve got it, we might as well take a look at it.
[This is not an April Fool's joke. I promise.]
Now, this being Facebook, nothing really works unless you sign in. The problem is, all of this is pre-release, so it’s set up to only work for Facebook employee accounts. Everything is basically packing unintentional always-on DRM, so screenshots are going to be a little sparse.
Source
And this system dump isn't available anywhere for download, right ?
(And yes I read the articles; No download URLs I saw.)
Yeah so........ you have the system dump but you're not going to share it with anyone???
Who are you talking to ?
Nobody here has it AFAIK.
One of the sites had an article author who had it, but AFAICT he hasn't released it and it hasn't otherwise been uploaded anywhere known.

Well obviously since the OP says "we have a system dump." I was probably talking to the OP genius.

He quoted from the source linked.
When the thread is in the development section with the title apk breakdown exclusive, it kinda leads me to believe there is a download link and apk.
Should of been posted in general section to not confuse Facebook home fans.

Hey,
Sorry, I know this thread will probably be irrelevant, but it just occurred to me. I have a Western Note 4 (I'll keep country vague just for my own protection). I'm very technical and a massive Android Power User, but not a Dev. But if there is any use in me doing a system dump or anything, I'm happy to do it, with a little guidance.
Feel free to ask any Qs etc,
No, just send me the whole phone.

Hi, this is a very new phone and I really need info from it. If you don't mind please install this Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app and send (PM or email) me screenshots from it.
I also need your help to test the function 'Refurbishment Check' (under the Menu).
Thanks for your time.
I find it quite funny that you're not telling us the country for security reasons.
If you're worried about it being a 'leak', the phone has been on official sale in the Netherlands since the 16th. Don't worry.
If you're worried about us finding out where you're from, you might want to remove the 'London, UK' from your profile.
Any chance you could send me the entire phone? No? Awwwww....

Maybe s/he will give you it in exchange for locating things on his computer? Or a discount for your opinion of his/her digital organisation?
Again, as per your arrogant opinions about my computers and me, you assume too much. Why should s/he be in London because of a profile/avatar? Mine says "Gelderd End, 1974". I am not there. It doesn't even exist anymore. And only people with a working knowledge of football stadia 40 years ago - or with enough interest to Google it - would have the slightest inkling to what I'm referring to...
New Zenfone 2 Model spotted: X551ML
More info on International Business Times
IBT is nothing but a spam clickbait rag with terrible labor relations, a spotty reputation and something vaguely resembling the corpse of "journalism".
I did a Google search for that model number and Zenfone together and only got sites sourcing IBT or copying their print wholesale.
If it is a new model, it seems to be India specific variant.
Please let's make a conscientious choice as a community to not give IBT traffic and page hits or click on every rumor article.

Hello there! Well, then sorry for my post. The funny part is that I usually spot inaccurate (with missing solid references) media articles, but outside the tech world. Related to tech, I think that the only clickbait websites I came across, may have been some related to tutorials.
My guess is that the X model is actually either ZX550ML (the upcoming Zenfone Zoom - which I guess will run on the same ZF2 firmware, as I already see some files related to Zoom in the system) or a different version of Zenfone Zoom like maybe "ZX551ML"
