Hi!
I know some of you have run flash with the released 2.2 firmwares.
I wanted to try it out, and went to youtube. So it said I needed to install it and redirected me to a supposedly download page, but no download found.
Can anyone post the apk perhaps?
Search function we have, use it you must.
Was it wrong of me to read that in yoda's voice?
yoda, you always have the perfect thing to say.
May the force be with google, and appbrain and android market.

Use search term "adobe flash apk" you must. There is a topic in the app forum title "adobe flash 10.1 player for froyo".

Just a seemingly genuine question and this is the rhetort from a 'grown' man. Listen, son, all these media arts are what we label 'fantasy' - just as we have the 'Bibles of the Masses', religious artworks used to promote dogma, we have the 'Bibles of the Geeks' - Star Wars, Dr Who, Star Trek - Geek dogma for the socially inadequate - As we moved into that which we called the Enlightenment - say the late 14th Century beginnings of the Renaissance into the full blown 'scientific' Enlightenment - a move which revealed the 'truth' of that which we now label science, in a similair manner we must mirror this and see the very real inadequacies of those who cling to poorly scripted and acted fantasy programmes du Jour - rather than blindly accept the geek dogma, failing to see 'real' people wince and shy away at the embarrasment of it all, as with the 'faith' of the pre-Renaissance masses - it was very misguided - and, in retrospect, foolish.
This is without getting into the multilayered ironies of your own lack of awareness of yourself and how you are percieved and it's massive removal from reality - that conceited belief in your intellect and value - to say it's miguided ......

Nice information.
Rather than flooding their mail boxes, why don't we write a formal open-letter in the name of XDA developers Community exposing our findings and suggestions?
Any volunteer? (my english is not so good)
Please note that I'd not approve a letter that is based on insults or describes this product as "rubbish"... I'd prefer they understand that we may have a win-win cooperation in order to make this (and others) product better. So if we're going to expose some problems we'll need to document every problem in a technical way.
Already a thread about this in General:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=791130
I have my doubts if one letter on behalf of xda will do the job and make them sit up and notice, maybe a Zerg rush would work better???
Why not try both
Poor guys...
Well maybe poor guys... nonetheless their emails were easily found and in the public domain, and they are listed on Linkedin, so fair game in my opinion
The emails were in that Samsung "do not download internal testing" app on Market, unpacked it and looked through the code - THATS PUBLIC DOMAIN! lol...
the professional way to handle this is via Facebook, as already mentioned on the other topic
it works, and we already got results
so lets do it again
+1 to Facebook.. its kinda public so theres bigger chance ull get some results..! instead of personal emails..

What would be the effect of flooding?
They are pissed, delete the mails and remove the e-mail adresses.

Much better effect can be obtained by an open letter, at best in cooperation with other well known (regional) forums and a message to some news sites.

Well, I disagree. POLITE emails directly to people involved is better than indirectly through FB imho. But why not use both methods as someone suggested?
I agree. What we need is a well written coordinated letter to the samsung staff, which would represent members of this and/or other forums and websites and thus, many galaxy s customers....

Could you provide his email?. So we can have the maximum # of folks petitioning him and WP7 via various channels. If you think if more people writing to him will ruin it, then no need to share.
Give me a couple of days to see if anything materializes. If I get the run around then I will post it.

Guys, bring @FCC also into picture when tweeting.
Has anyone tried to add @tmonews in their tweets? or @tmobile or anything of the like? Tmonews is pretty good about responding to fans / concerned customers...they are pretty known (at least with tmobile for sure) and therefore they could broadcast the problem or so...idk , just an idea...

Nice idea but android rules on tmonews. Their WP7 forums are deserted, any post that even hints at being pro-WP7 is invaded by android lovers bashing the OS, so I doubt you will get much help from that site. T-Mobile also couldnt care less, in fact from what I've heard all carriers are just paying lip service in their support of WP7, the truth is in their stores where store reps are free to bash WP7 and actively steer people away to other platforms. As we saw with verizon, if a carrier is behind an OS it shows all through their company, from store reps to execs and we are not seeing that happening for WP7.
Can sometime tip TMONews?. I tried for the past few days and the page is constantly loading and fails to send.
Interesting in today's WP Mango event - Dell is not mentioned as Hardware partner in the slide they presented. Just Kick Dell out of the arena. They are actually a scum and ruining the WP7 ecosystem.

If Dell is pulling out of the phone business, which would be very likely, since they didn't anticipate having to pour so much money over customer service, then those of us who bought the Venue Pro get screwed unless someone files a class-action suit against Dell to refund our purchases.

Sony Ericsson forces us to close XperiaBlog.net
by XB on October 19, 2011
in News
It is with great sadness that we have to bring you the news that this will be the last post on this website. Sony Ericsson has filed a formal complaint about the use of the trademarked ‘Xperia’ name in our domain name and have requested that the domain names, including that of XperiaX10.net, be transferred to them.
Sony Ericsson is alleging that we have used the domain names in “bad faith”. We are stunned and disappointed that Sony Ericsson, a company that we have spent much of our free personal time in promoting, especially the Xperia brand, has decided to take this formal action against us. After all we are just like you, passionate Sony Ericsson users, who have strived to bring the community breaking news and an independent viewpoint.
We do not have the resources to fight Sony Ericsson on this and therefore this is the last you will hear from us. Sony Ericsson has made great strides in its Xperia portfolio, especially in listening to the community. This makes it all the more confusing as to why Sony Ericsson would want to shut us down. We genuinely believe that 2012 could be a bumper year for the company, we just wish we could have been there along for the ride.
All the best.

Thats utterly shocking, why support developers and custom rom makers on xda then go and force others with the same ideas and in my view not using the xperia name wrongly at all, quite the opposite infact, shame on sony ericsson indeed

Technically SE is correct, Xperia is their trade mark that they have registered no one is supposed to use it. But it's really bad that they are asking to shutdown after having such a success with the blog. If they had a problem with the blog they should told them when they started it.
Yeah i agree from a legal point of view it is very understandable, what SE could have done is taken control of the domains and the blog but kept the starter of the blog and others as moderators, that way they get their xperia name not being misused by unauthorised people but still have the blog going, plus consumers would still be happy as we would still have our beloved blog

Shame to SE for being hard on their fan base. But, legally can they do this? What if XperiaBlog is claimed as one word?
LOL! After 12 years of worship to Ericsson - SE it's the first time that I say and I mean that I'm going Samsung! Enough with the SE bull$hit! Galaxy nexus!! Here I come!!!! :-D

XperiaBlog has also written some critical posts about updates for the X10 etc. I don't think SE appreciated that.
Another bad turn when the site posted the comparison between Arc S and iPhone 4S when it should've just let the Chinese community handle it...

SE is always sensitive to what sites put down about their product. When you put out something that may reflect negatively, which it did against the Arc S in the camera comparison, it's not a surprised result. Since the site is also using Xperia in its name and actually damaging it's reputation (may be not alot, but it still does). Think about a scenario where I want to know more about the product. I found the site, oh hey, it has Xperia in it. Seems like a good site to find out good reviews. You step in, and you find criticism on it. Would you have a good impression on the product? I've worked on many club sites under SE, and many were closed down for the same reason.
Sites like Mobile-Review was also abandoned for the same reason, alot of premature conclusions and no filtering to what is posted. Not that I want press to censor their opinions, but some opinions/assertions were far from true.

Changing the name of the site would be easy but SE wants the domain name. Setting up another website with the same content would be time consuming and a major pain in the arse.
It's a shame considering all the effort they've put in maintaining it and updating it with the latest info.
And it's not like they were cyber-squatters or anything.
I don't think that stories like
http://www.xperiablog.net/2011/09/0...2-with-1-5ghz-dual-core-4-3-inch-720p-screen/
or
http://www.xperiablog.net/2011/10/1...icsson-walkman-w23i-with-dual-core-processor/
were perceived with pleasure over at SE's HQs... Still a shame though.

Actually this is what happened to me when I first started looking for xperia info some time ago, I thought it was an official site so I was surprised to read some of the posts.
For that reason I can understand why SE have taken this action. On the other hand, theres no reason why xperiablog cannot start up under a fresh name, if they have so many followers already it wont be so hard to spread the word.
They could, but from my knowledge, there are 2 reasons they're demanding the close. First is to prevent any damage to their brand from the site, and the other is to demand the xperiablog domain. I'm sure xperiablog.com will be popping up soon from them, which they have the authority to do since the word "xperia" is their's to begin with. So to prevent any confusions for people who hit SHIFT+ENTER instead of CTRL+ENTER wouldn't be redirected to the wrong site.
I just went to the Samsung site looking for their Customer Forums where could report some bugs in their latest OTA and suggest some improvements.
THERE ARE NONE.
Seriously, a multi-billion dollar company with NO way for their customers to interact, get problems solved or make suggestions. Nothing. It is inconceivable to me that in the year 2012 a company the size of Samsung would be in the stone ages of customer interaction.
Want to know how they get customer feedback? You log on and post a review of the product. That's it! No interaction, no feedback, no idea if anyone even saw what you wrote - you just post a review and pray.
Yeah you can go to Samsung's Facebook page and post something on their wall but that's not a proper forum.
http://www.facebook.com/samsungsupport
I am honestly dumbfounded at this revelation.
They do it on social media. In a pretty big way too.
Surely, in your research of the GN 10.1, you found that out - I did. They do have a question and answer area.
A "rant" is neither productive nor helpful. They don't have forums. Period.

That's probably why they don't have forums. Not enough people ranting. You'll have to forgive me. I didn't research whether Samsung had customer forums. I just assumed they weren't living in 1960.
I am endeavoring to report some bugs on their Facebook page. I have no idea if anyone else has already reported these or if there is follow-up as their "forum" has no apparent structure. Will report back if I get any feedback.
unfortunately yes.
I've been looking for its own forums few years back, and find NONE. :cyclops:
They rather use a facebook page, which we don't know the page is being maintained by who.
But, if you need a fast response, you can try their website, there's a LIVECHAT down there.
Facebook is really a pathetic idea to make it as the main forum of such a big company (in my opinion).
If facebook is being used as an additional media, then yes, it's a good idea.
Time for Mr. Peabody's WABAC Machine
For support: Not a forum and not Facebook.
Samsung needs a Web and Android App accessible Support database.
From 1979 to 2002 I was an IBM Mainframe Systems Programmer at UF in Gainesville Florida, then at the School Board of Alachua County Florida.
I watched large companies like IBM and CA move into the web era with their Support. I moved with them from phone calls and mailing fix tapes to Customer Searchable Databases with user entry for new issues, and with Downloadable Fixes for resolved issues.
Of course, way back then issues for my organization affected 10s of thousands of people where resolving an issue meant dealing with only one person in our organization.
Moving forward to today, we've got 10s of thousands of people and many, many more who all need their individual fixes. Very time consuming compared to dealing with one person.
This is one reason why more and more OTA forced SW updating is happening and why the big companies are pushing cloud computing. Such as Google evolving the Chrome platform; Adobe offering Creative Cloud; and VMWare and IBM competing for hosting Enterprise virtual computers.
Aloha.. Al :highfive:
Is it just me or do 80% of their Facebook Support moderators look like complete burnouts?
If a Forum is too hard for them how about a simple Suggestion Box where users can report bugs directly to the Design Team?
My faith in their meeting future needs with OTA's is greatly diminished. Hopefully they will surprise me.

I think you should put in an application to work for the Samsung Design Team, you seem like their kind of guy. :cyclops:
They used to have customer Forum. I was a member. They were so heavily censored, that you could say virtually nothing negative.
When the Galaxy S was having GPS issues, a class action suit was initiated about the GPS problem. I posted this fact and my post was edited to eliminate the sentence stating that. My post appeared but the words "Class Action Lawsuit" magically disappeared!
Moderators would actually cut pieces out of your posts before they would appear.
I then tried to send a private message to another forum member about the censorship and they censored and blocked the private messages as well and then sent me a message saying any more communications of that type would get me banned.
I then posted a second time to the main forum complaining that they were censoring negative posts and was in fact banned from the forum. So there isn't much of a point to a Forum where you aren't alowed to communicate.
So perhaps they just decided to institute the ultimate form of censorship and eliminate the forum altogether.
