Hey everyone,
I am one of the device specialists for Cellular South. I don't do any kind of development work, but I will be happy to contribute in any way I can. If anybody has any Cellular South specific questions I'll be glad offer any answers I can. Also, any inside info I get on release dates or anything that may be of interest I'll share that as well.
We are in desperate need of a factory odin flash for the showcase.

so are you here as an Official Rep for Cellular South?
Welcome to XDA, and ditto to what he said above...
You can see my thread where I'm trying to make one (or as close as one as possible) but it would really BE GREAT to have one like every other Carrier has
I will send an email up to see what I can get. Nobody will be in until Monday so I'll keep you posted. I am not here to represent cellular south in anyway and I doubt they would recommend any modifications at all to the showcase. I am just letting you guys know my position and may have access to things that could help advancement and would like to contribute if possible.

sounds good... Well, they may not be willing to just give up the files.. I think the others were leaked...
If you can find out that a factory flash exist or someone that will admit that cell south actually has it, it will be a GREAT starting point
Excellent. I know the guy that would have the answer. But, like you said, it may not be something they have or are willing to share so I'll do some digging and see what I can find.

Super Awesome.
I live in Clinton, Ms and a SUPER android fan. I am sure I will have many questions.
1st off. What is the official release date of the 2.2 android for the showcase? and can you get it to me early?
2nd. do you have the ability to activate unlocked CDMA phones , not purchased @ cell south. (thunderbolt looks tasty!!)

They have not released a date for the 2.2 nor have they shared any other information with employees. From what I understand most of the wait comes from Samsung's end. Unfortunately since we are so small compared to others we tend to be the last carrier the suppliers worry about. We had the same issues with the HTC Hero. Also, with the Hero they went through several versions of 2.1 before they got to one that worked even semi stable and it was released and then a better 2.1 was released a couple months later so if they have a version that they are even testing yet then it honestly probably sucks. 2nd, I do not have the ability to activate unlocked CDMA phones. Cellular South's system uses a method to activate phones that also searches their full inventory. So... If the ESN or MEID hasn't been in Cellular South's inventory at some point in time, the system will reject it and you can't program it. Does it suck? Yes. However, they are supposed to be putting in a new POS system in the next few months. I doubt the conditions change but if for any reason they do I'll let everyone know.

I contacted the guy who does our software releases about a 2.2 release date and this was his response:
"Looking like the end of March but we cannot commit to that date yet."
So there you go. And to be honest I wouldn't expect that at the end of March. They always push the date back several times.

With something like a firmware upgrade why do these companies bother releasing it in different countries at different times? Why not do just one worldwide release for it?

Why not US? Money.
The companies in the United States want money. Plain and simple. Most companies want money, that is true, however the ones here in the US want money more than anything else.
That's why.
How does releasing a firmware in the US later give a company more money? If the firmware has been created funds don't need to be allocated to R&D. I'm in your boat though, it's BS. Can we run UK releases on our our phones?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I would agree with you 100% there, however...
Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, and the worst one of all AT&T have to put their "finishing touches" on them, thus delaying not only the release of the update, but also making sure that funds ARE allocated to their R&D to make those releases possible for their repective services.
In other words, the telecom companies need to mess up the 2.2 release so we all here can go in and fix them.
That's how the Circle of Technology works. ^_^
Why do you say that AT&T is the worst when they were the first to release a Galaxy S device? Just curious.
I would infer that AT&T will be the first U.S. Galaxy S device to get Froyo......of course that could be wishful thinking since I have a Captivate.....

Have you taken a look at the Samsung firmware leaks. All of them are fully loaded with bloatware. Samsung is putting everything on themselves. AT&T will probably only test it on their network and then release it.
How do we let AT&T know to not slack on releasing the 2.2 upgrade
I have already wrote to Samsung through their website about releasing the upgrade on time. How do we let AT&T know.

It seems like to me that if indeed AT&T is incapable of doing OTA updates (dont know if this is true or not) then it would make sense to package the gps and froyo updates in just one flash and release rather than do it one at a time

No its Glass! I would never consider a plastic screen.
Sense seemed to fly. best looking phone ive ever played with. But in the end if the 4g is not $30 unlimited like i was told i will be skipping this and getting an iPhone. The only that makes me getting android worth it is unlimited 4g.
I still think iphone is the most complete phone. But i will be getting the thunderbolt just for the 4g.

Good to know its glass. Good sign.
Called the local Best Buy and they are telling me they do not have a release date set. Checked more into verizon and was told that HTC has posted an information block on the phone till march 31st. Found on engadget an article about a picture block and because of posting rules I am not allowed to post the link. Horray for spam control rules.
I am hoping next week would be the time but verizon and Best Buy are reporting that they do not have a release date and that "soon" is all they know. Was told soon for verizon could be a week to 6 weeks.
All speculation, trust no one

I agree, maybe they are waiting to see if its worth selling the 14th/17th because of a dud in iphone sales
Or is the iphone is a hit (which it is not) then they would post pone the TB
all speculation though
one thing i think is funny that the Verizon Iphone is becoming a dud. most people who wanted a iphone already switched to ATT so whats the big deal about getting wht someone already had for awhile
I think if you're going to offer pre-order(Best Buy), then you'd better have a hard launch date. Offering pre-orders without one is a poor business practice.

Guys I just prefer the iphone, but am still getting the thunderbolt because of the 4G.
And also as i stated before the bestbuy store i preordered at had them in stock a whole closet full!!! And will sell to me on that date.

Every single BB employee that has posted on the forums has said none of the stores have gotten any stock in at all yet. Also why in the world would BB release the phone on the 17th? That is a Thursday and no one has ever heard that date mentioned by any of the sources out there. It has always been either the 14th or the 24th, the date makes no sense.

The 17th is only relevant due to Verizons habit of releasing on Thursdays. Highly unlikely that that's the date. IMO if it were the 14th, we clearly would've heard officially about it by now. If it were the 17th, same thing. 24th...well I think we need to heard about it sometime next week, sooner rather than later for that to be plausible. I just don't see it being released without some sort of ad campaign prior. Until I see ad's I am being pessimistic.
You know what im changing my tune , you right. Its not out till its out. Theres no point sweating it. If i get it when i assume im happy if not....oh well.

It will get updated to gingerbread at some point, but nobody knows when.
Most of us guessed towards the end of September(about a month after the EP1W GB leak was released publicly)
Here's a fact: Nobody knows exactly when it is coming out. Even the support people at Verizon don't know. They are notified that something is on the way, but they don't tell them until it actually hits the streets.
My opinion, based on info i've gained reading various sources: It should be soon, probably in the next couple weeks. And it won't be EP1W.
I had a brief twitter conversation with p3 a couple days back, asking him if he had heard anything since the leak was released. He didn't offer any info on ETA, but DID say that he knows EP1W is no longer official...in his words, they "blew past" EP1W
This could be good, as personally I consider EP1W rather unstable (in my personal experience) and would love it if the final, official GB release is being developed further to deal with those kinds of issues. But... this could also add significant time to the release cycle as well.
Sent from my GummyCharged Charge
if the release for Gingerbread on the Droid 2/Droid X are any "guidelines", i'd say another 2 months with verizon's release schedule.
On two different occasions with two different people at the Verizon store i was told with authority to expect an update this month (sept). We will see. I tried checking for software updates on the verizon site but it wouldn't let me enter my model, which was strange. I know only the owner's manual was on there but maybe they're getting ready to add something.
I meant the Samsung page- sorry!
When is gingerbread coming to the charge? Not happy with buggy froyo.

Well, I for one can say that the Humble ROMs from danalo have been faster and more battery efficient than the stock ROMs from Samsung. So, I would be willing to bet that the Humble ROMs available now are going to be better than whatever Samsung has for the next "official" release.
That is, until Cyanogen starts his development job at Samsung, and gets some really awesome CM-like stuff incorporated into the stock Sammy ROMs.
Should be by the end of the month like the thunderbolt update.can't wait!

The guys at the Costco booth don't work for Verizon for once. The one's at my Costco are incompetent and seem to give two ****s about their job or helping the customer. I would HIGHLY recommend taking anything they tell you with a grain of salt. I find it very hard to believe they would have any true insider information on this.
Anything the guys at the booth are telling you is hogwash. They are just repeating something a co-worker or customer told them. Verizon does not provide those details to salespeople. Even the tech support people only have vague info like "coming soon", or maaaaaaybe a "this month". You can't miss target dates that you never announce in the first place.
VZ's own techs don't know when the update is coming.
I am friends with a tech at one of the local VZ stores & he has no more idea when it's coming than we do.

first off you have to wait for the att/global version to get it.
then two or three months and bloatbloatbloat later you will have your warranty friendly ics.
or you can go to the dev page and as soon as some sauce is out (there are leaks but the still have issues) get it then. your choice.. i just keep an odin tar of i727r around if i need to return it. as long as I don't flash anything dumb like note radios.. again. HA.

LOL... I hear you Uhhdoug... I actually used my tar last night after I bricked my phone testing a buggy rom... (not the one in my signature)
That tar is now a good friend.
Sooner or later we have to get an official release... then our Dev's will have the tools to create more stable releases.

Curious as to why you posted this yesterday, if you got this email Monday? Why would you withhold that information from us for such a long period of time?

Am I the only one who read the part where Samsung said that ICS was going to be released for select devices starting today with the rest of the devices mentioned over the rest of the quarter?
That means that they have until the end of July to release it.

Probably not, but do you know of ANY devices that have received the update?

either or, no devices had ICS that day so that would be invalid information

Wow I thought the French where nicer then that. It was a joke, no need to get your panties in a bunch over it. Guess what? I have a wife, three kids, a house and a minivan. Who the eff cares.
I'm amazed at the amount of thought you put into that post. Definately made my day!

I do stand up. Thanks for noticing and glad I made you laugh. Try to keep your eyes on the road though, I know how good the drivers are in Montreal.
I just wanted to let you guys know about the poor experience my friend has had with this company. I will start by saying that I have used the service before and was very satisfied. So when my friend's Galaxy S4's charging port failed I recommended mobiletech to her. She sent the phone in and that is where the fun began. She did receive an email saying that the phone was received, fast forward two weeks and she has heard nothing about the phone, she emails them and gets no response. After a few days she finds a number and calls. She is told that "Josh" is out and will return her phone call. She finally gets a phone call back the next day and is told that the part had to be ordered, she then inquires why she was notified of the delay, they apparently have nothing to say about that. She was told that they expected the part to be in within the week and that she should have her phone back in about a week. Two weeks have gone by and again no word, not calls, no emails, nothing about what is happening with her phone. IT HAS BEEN OVER 5 WEEKS!. Of course I feel responsible because I recommended her to this company. I am also disappointed because I was going to send a phone in the get repaired. I know a lot of people have had good experiences with this company, as have I, but based on this recent experience I would caution you guys about using them. I will update this post if anything changes.

This is a fairly well known company around here, and like I said I used them before with no issue. Another week has gone by and she still has heard nothing. I was secretly hoping that someone from there would see this post and maybe look in on the issue, but I guess not. I guess I will have to start leaving negative reviews around the internet and see if that gets their attention.

My negative review...
Sorry to hear about your friend's problem with this company. I'm going to write about my experience with this company...which I have to say is just as negative. In short, I placed an order with them to remotely fix my EFS. After setting an appointment up, I never heard another word from them; even after emailing them....STILL NO REPLY. So I was thinking about titling the post...

It's strange with all the great reviews this would be happening. My phone was signed for on Wed and I haven't heard anything but I wish they'd just say they received it (someone signed for it) so I'm hoping come Monday I'll here something. I paid for faster service and haven't heard back via email or phone yet
Mobile Tech Videos - what's up??????
I sent my Galaxy sIII in to them for a "hard brick" problem (yes I tried all OTHER ways before resorting to this). The Phone was sent on 7 July and they received it on 9 July. When I logged on it was shown as being "completed". I had hoped that the phone would be returning shortly. After a week still no phone. I sent them emails..... no answers. I called them and left voice mail...... no answer. I contacted them om Facebook... no answer. I had thought, from people on XDA, that this was a legit service but now I am having second thoughts. If I don't hear from them soon I'll just deny the credit card payment and cut my losses. This really sucks. I hope no one else has this bad of an experience.:crying: :crying: :crying:
I saw somewhere on XDA that they were in the process of relocating and once that was finished they would be able to get everything done since they are so backed up.

I sincerely hope this is true, I just sent my phone for efs repair to them last week with no updates on them "awaiting shipment". Found this thread through google and just hoping to get my phone back now
Hi guys/gals!
OK, let's get some things sorted out for everyone here! What are your order numbers? I actively monitor another thread here on XDA but didn't realize this one was going so I'm glad I searched for it. It is 100% true we are relocating to our brand new facility on a large section of land that I purchased and I've been contracting the entire project. Although it is an exciting transition, it's been tougher keeping up with emails and communication so I am very grateful for everyone's patience. As most know, we run a clean operation and this is unusual for us so I do apologize for the inconvenience a small percentage of you have had bestowed upon yourselves. So, we have around 3 weeks remaining on our build and we plan to be into the building and running completely out of it the week of August 25th and onward. This process has been rolling since mid-March so the end of it is greatly welcomed by my team and my family! I greatly appreciate the customer base we have of loyal XDA patrons and the likes of many other online avenues. In addition I'm hiring 2 employees to add to our team to better assist our customers in the future for better customer service. I look forward to completing that transition and continuing to uphold the high standards we have set and come to be known by in the future.
So, what are your order numbers? Let's see about making this a response thread for those having trouble getting updates from us.
Thanks!

Order #24129. I called, it had a damaged logic board, but was able to get it booted again. Asked if you could remove root, and reset things so I could get my warranty to cover the replacement. Then it was supposed to be sent back. Maybe it is en-route? Also, there was talks about a partial refund since not all services could be rendered.
Any updates hopefully?
Glad I found this, I was worried from the lack of response or progress on my order. My order number's #24137
Here is an update:
My friend got her pone back about a month ago, she was told that a former employee broke the screen on her phone and hid the phone rather than take responsibility. Mobiletech fixed the screen free of charge and the original problem and shipped the phone back. The phone is now working great. Of course my continuing concern is that had attempts to contact been return in a timely manner this probably would have been resolved sooner. I hope this is a lesson learned.
How do I get ahold of these guys at Mobiletech?
I have emailed them and called and I can't get a hold of anyone at Mobiletech. Does anyone know if they are still open?

Hey Josh,
I am a customer of yours (order# 24225) and I gotta say my experience has been a little less than pleasant. I run a cell repair outfit and I had my JTAG tech out on vacation. So I decided to try you guys out since I had seen your videos, and heard ok things about you on XDA.
I understand that you guys are in the middle of a big move but this is the exact thing that you should have as a large post on your main page or at least your payment page. This should also be something that you anticipate when you are still selling "Rush Service" which I unfortunately paid for. Hire more customer service staff during the move so that you can at the very least communicate with your customers. I have had a phone with you for 4 weeks and have had to fight to get any response at all. Many times I have sent emails, and left voicemails and I haven't gotten any response at all. It wasn't until today that I finally got someone on the phone to get an update and they told me that they would have to call me back as your computers are not up. I understand the hiccups and hangups that moving can cause but it is unacceptable that you don't prepare for this and at least have your people doing regular callbacks to customers to keep them updated. My outfit does approximately 50 repairs a day for people local and shipped in and we make it a point to at least call every day or two to let people know what is going on. I also only employ 3 other people so I know this volume at least can be handled with minimal staffing. It just requires a customer-centric attitude from your employees.
All in all my Note 3 has been with you guys for over a month now and I have been promised call backs, told on numerous occasions that it will "ship this coming Thursday" (Been told that for 3 weeks now), and sent emails/left messages that do not even get a response. I am sure you guys know what you are doing and are quite skilled at reviving hard bricked devices. I also know that it is not easy so I commend you for building a business around it. Your lack of communication and ability to deliver what is advertised, and what your employees told to your customers within a reasonable amount of time is what I am disappointed about.
I am still waiting to hear from someone who promised they would call me back in an hour. That deadline has passed by about an hour. Hopefully we can at least get some resolution on XDA going because reaching you guys directly and expecting accountability is obviously out of the question.
Thank You,
Collin
I just checked in with Collin are there any other order numbers anyone wants checked out?

First of all, Order 24289
While you're at it, call every customer with an order older than 4 days--or less, for the poor bastards that paid you extra. Explain the nature of the delay, take ownership of your selfish blunders, tell your customers that you are human.... just do something. Avoiding messages and phone calls makes you look like a total asshat, when you're probably just a little scared of confrontation. I get it, but you need to stop that.
Also, you need to add some HUGE banner text to your website informing other potential victims of your halt in operations. The smart & ethical thing to do would be to disable ordering altogether while you figure out the best way to remove your head from your fourth point of contact.

Hello my order number is #24437. While you didn't update your website until the 27th of August I believe, I mistakenly shipped it too the old address two days prior to the 27th and with no reply or word back from you guys I am really worried. Please get back to me.
