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

Good write up on TF in USA today tech section. today
Here is the link.

It's an Associated Press article, so it has been reposted on tons of sites.

Yahoo news is a good place to read ignorant comments.
'iPad apps, including The Wall Street Journal are not available at all'!
He's never heard of 'world newspapers app' then!
'Others, such as The New York Times, are available only in inferior versions, designed for the smartphone'
Never bothered looking through the market and found 'New York Times Tablet Edition'!!
What's the point of having reviewers that don't know jack ****.
Great, now laymen will be competing with us to try to get the unavailable tablet...

More sales, means more focus from ASUS on bug fixes and updates.
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.

Social media is a pathetic replacement for an actual Forum. Lol, can you imagine xda-developers as a Facebook page?
Massive fail Samsung. It's clear from some of the changes they made in the last OTA that they aren't listening to the users.

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.

tonyz3,
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.

Hi Guys,
I am fairly certain that many of you will have been as frustrated as I am about LeEco's response to our requests for the source code for our devices. Many of us have been met with we did not release the phone to the US market so please contact the 3rd Party seller. You and i know that this is an unacceptable stance and in breach of the GNU etc.
I think it's time for all frustrated owners to show LeEco what we think of their stance, and take a stance of our own as many of us have already started to do, and see if we can twist their arm a bit. The best way in my opinion is to hurt the company where it hurts most, and that's in the pocket and in the public eye. I therefore recommend that all users go to their face book account and leave a review of 1 star and explain why. Making sure you also mention our device in the comments section. This is bound to hurt and just over the last day i have seen their review score drop a few points. Now if everyone who signed the petition did this they would likely have a score near 1 out of 5. Which is roughly what I would give their service just now.
I have also been instructed by Lemall.US to email their opensource team a request to release the code which I have done and hope many will take time out to do the same.
Keep in mind we have been treated completely different to the buyers of the CN model who seem to get endless updates. While we get BS!
All of these reviews can be changed in the future if they release the source code and let us be free of their crappy, malware firmware.
Here are the links
https://www.facebook.com/LeMallUSA/
https://www.facebook.com/LeEcoIndia/
https://www.facebook.com/LeEcoGlobal/
email for opensource request
[email protected].*
Seems to be definitely working, now at 87 one star reviews and certainly LeMall US Team have taken notice, but we must keep the pressure up.
48 hours have now passed and 49 reviews by US X800 Users.
What can we achieve at this rate in the next 48 hours?.
This is awesome considering the Campaign is in its infancy and only went live on a few other sites last night so hopefully it will pick up exponentially over the next few days. Like the petition on change.org did.
We need to try and aim for at least another 63 reviews, so that we equal their 5 star reviews and they will hit the 2.5 rating, but obviously the more the better, so keep on spreading the word.
Still no further news from LeEco since this morning and not so much as an acknowledgement from le.opensource. But i am in communication with them in all channels and not giving up.
I honestly believe we are not far from cracking this.
I will keep everyone updated with any new developments as soon as I hear.
Awesome effort so far guys!
Respect!
Thanks for putting effort into LeEco finally giving us the source code.
Just posted a 1 star review. Currently it seems they are on a 4,0 star average with 772 votes.
We need more votes!
Posted a one star review.
We need more votes!!!
Desmond thank you for the great idea!
.....
Hahaha, leeco is treating it's costumers like we're toddlers ! They removed two threads that i posted on their website http://forum.le.com/us/index.php?forums/technical-discussion.26/
I've got them back from Google cache but i can't post them on their FB because i don't use FB to let people know how touchy this company is.
And such a company tries tol make it in US and Europe, with this attitude they can forget it !
I have unmasked Saab Unleashed: he is mainly promoting, headunits send for free by resellers. He says he isn't paid for it or whatever, and even denied at first for deleting my comments on YouTube.
Several times I mentioned AlliExpress, both times my comments got deleted. But the second time I took a screenshot, because I was expecting this to happening.
So a fair warning: take the reviews from Saab Unleashed with a grain of salt, he is heavily sponsored by Chinese resellers. Please don't trust him, as he makes these Android head-units look better than they are.
This guy is what we call a person, who isn't honest and basically just an influencer. And the point being, he is just promoting all these unknown brands. While avoiding his viewers, of getting knowledge of others places to buy these universal units.
Hey Dexter / Wesley,
Let me begin by saying that I am extremely disappointed that you have chosen to brand me as dishonest, especially as you are an active member of this community.
I said in response to your comment on my video that you are entitled to your opinion. However, as you have deleted the conversation that we had on my channel comments, let me reiterate what was discussed and add a few points.
1. I don't delete comments on my channel, ever. If they are deleted, it is for reasons out of my control, something to do with YouTube. This should be obvious due to the back and forth we had in the comments; surely I would have just deleted that instead of responding to you? (I see you deleted it once I provided information in response, but I still have the comments in email notification)
2. I start each of my videos expressly saying that I do not get paid to endorse any companies or products, and I further explain the circumstances of how head units are sourced in my latest video descriptions. The main point here is that a free head unit does not guarantee a positive review, and I have proven this multiple times with scathing reviews on bad products, to the point that I have been asked to take down the review from the manufacturer (which of course, I don't). If there are negative points, I always mention them. I always score each of the head units based on my opinion of using them, and there are plenty of low scores. That's all.
Regarding your comment suggesting that I make head units look better than they are; I try to be as transparent as possible with my reviews. I show clearly everything that I am doing in various tests, showing load times, missing features etc. I have a unique perspective of being able to play with multiple of these head units, so I can see where one is better than the other. But the idea is that others form their own opinion based on what I show.
I'm a guy who has a personal interest in electronics and gadgets, including in-car technology, I use my platform as an opportunity to play with these head units and show people what I think. I do it for fun, not for profit, but I understand that not everyone will appreciate my content. That's fine. But I do feel the need to say something when someone publically suggests something which is simply not true.
Anyway, you and I share the same interests, and rather than assuming the worst about me, I'd much rather have constructive feedback from you (and anyone else) on how I can make the videos better.
Best,
Stu

I´ve seen some of your videos.
One thing to mention:
Most of these are just labeled by the reseller as their own units and they are most probably also delivered by other reseller with the same back, the same firmware and MCU and even the same packaging.
Example: Pumpkin... They are just reseller and buy their units at different manufactures and just put a sticker on the screen... nothing else.
So may be a good idea to have a look at the MCU which is installed in their units, so you are able to tear the units down to the real manufacture.
...but... I appreciate your videos, even if they are not relevant for my personal decisions.

I know a few of these head units share the same base hardware, however, some have their own variations of specific components, and indeed, firmware. It's true I don't do teardowns, mainly because that gets ultra-technical and the majority of people that watch are just looking for something cool to put in their car, so I mainly focus on the end-user experience.
That being said, what I am thinking of doing is creating a sister Insta account which goes into more detail to answer those more technical questions.

Yeah, the reviews are definitely not XDA-worthy.
I wasn't trying to be mean. I was just speaking as somebody who has broken things that I paid hard cash for because I reached for a screwdriver/guitar pick before I ever even powered the brand new device on.

I really feel with you.
In the past I was exactly on the same page... Buy, disassemble, reassemble and test. May be some occupational disease to look inside what I spent money for.
But as I am becoming old now, I buy them, test them first, and then tear down that stuff.
