So was samsungjohns big announcement not the support/questions thread. Just a question no flame intended. I think the vast majority of us that were all over that thread figured that support thread was the big news. So please inform us if it was not the news
Edit: Please keep this flame free this was just meant as a simple question

SamsungJohn should have just said what he had to say when he could. If he can't say today, then don't start a thread today. No need to hype it ahead of time. His first post should have been whatever big news he had. That would have avoided this debacle.
Thank you very much for your responce

Thanks, please keep us informed. Cause unlike john, you're not part of samsung and have nothing to hype. Just shoot us straight.
I really think svetius needs to teach him a little pr. Maybe even have orb write his posts. I don't think he knows what he is doing.
No prob guys I would not leave you in the dark about this. I want to beleive the guy is here for good things but I just dont. If you stop and think for a min I think you will agree he is about as out of place here as as a fruit logo on anything other then a kids toy lmao.
On a side note lets not open anymore threads about this. I will leave this one open but others will be closed on site

Double True that!
I've seen mention of the Samsungjohn announcement a couple of times, but have no idea what it was in reference to, can someone please catch me up on it? Searching that user name yields no results..

No one knows, all that has happened so far was several q&a threads that were opened and closed quickly because for good reason we are all pissed.

LOL, I have always said this to my friends who have the phone with the i in front of it (I will not directly mention that dumb phone)
Yea, and everyone around here on XDA were total D-bags and flammed the poor guy.
He's a marketing rep for Samsung, and I think was honestly trying to find a way to reach out to the XDA community. And in return, everyone ripped his thread to pieces.
I guess the old, "you catch more flies with honey than vinegar" doesn't work so well around here. Pitty too. Cause unless all the idiots around here plan on rushing the Samsung corporate headquarters and holding the CEO ransom, burning the one bridge set forth isn't going to get anyone anywhere.

I did finally find the thread, catching up now. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a trade in offer of some kind involved. Just speculation on my part tho. of course, after the reception he received here we probably won't hear anything now..

I agree. The way I see it, we have nothing to lose. They already have our money. Why not let the guy say his piece? Is there anything he can possibly say that will sway our opinion without doing something about the problems? Is he going to hypnotize us into buying more Samsung products?

With all due respect. Samsung has brought the hatred and anger on themselves. They choose to enter into agreements where they cant comment on the updates they provide. They choose to enter into agreements where they cant update their own hardware without the carriers blessing. They choose to allow their PR reps make comments about updates that never come dangling a carrot in front of those hopeful for the advanced features others on identical hardware in other countries enjoy.
Sorry they burned their bridges, they doused their customers with gasoline, you cant blame us for wanting to embrace them with our last fiery breaths.
Ok guys if this turns into a flame fest or name calling i will close this one as well. I am not sure what will happen if anything other then empty promises as like stated above "they already have our money." To be honest This will be my last Samsung device I ever own. No matter What Samsung has to say, I will never again promote a Samsung device, as I had big hopes for the Captivate. I should have known better after all the work I have had to do on their other smartphones, that this one would be just as much a POS as all the others, BJ, BJ II, Epic, Jack.

I agree.
But when fortune turns in your favor, what's the best thing to do?
Continue the outrage and anger (justifiable as it may be) or turn the other cheek and see if something constructive can't be done?
It is a very good step taken by Wikipedia and Reddit by making a whole day blackout against the SOPA Bill. No one would to like to be restricted while internet is such a place where people can enjoy the web with absolute freedom.
We should also vote against the SOPA bill.

Yea, I got up this morning and noticed the blackout on here. Glad to see there's so many major companies getting involved in this.
By the way, I love Google's homepage in opposition to SOPA and PIPA today.
Yeah this is a but more serious than I expected. 2012=doomsday. It's started already

Now to see if the "blackouts" will do any good. Rumors have it that the White House is rethinking it's stance on SOPA. Maybe Obama is smarter than we think? Any kind of censorship whether for good or bad gives me the shivers.
We will see. I really dont see it happening as that would cause the people that are already unhappy with the government to get even more up in arms. Now mix in the deal with the FEMA chip and we could see a very long year to come.
So used straight talk for about a year, always under 2 gb data.

I dont think that the people replying to you were actual employees, were they? It seems as though they are just random users who also liked the page and saw your post.
Randoms trolling u pretty hard
Dude, I highly doubt they work for the company. They're just random people on Facebook and you did kinda freak out at them for no reason.
ermagerd, TOS. I've linked people to them before - from T-Mobile, Verizon, and Sprint in recent memory - and I sure don't work for all of them. Not even one. I'm a biology student who has weird hobbies like reading legalese for the lulz (also called, "anything to procrastinate more is fascinating").
I mean, I post here but I don't work here. I post on tons of forums and give tons of advice about everything from piercings to fish care to making movie props. Facebook is just like a degenerate forum. People are bored - doesn't mean they work for anything related to what they're blabbing about.

Wow. Almost as bad as Cricket. Except Cricket's CSRs are dumb as rocks.
This thread makes no sense. Those weren't Straight Talk employees. So Wtf were you wasting time there for? Seems you sty yourself up for the rope a dope.

They sure didn't act like employees. They were most likely other followers of the Straight Talk page on Facebook.

Not really, as they had my account details.
Also they were 'trolling' everyone who had a negative comment on ST's page for about four to five hours.
Notice all of the females had three names, private profiles etc.
Plus they sounded exactly like the ST CS reps.
You can think what you want.

Well to be honest, it can happen to anyone. Imagine the social anxiety that would set in if your teleprompter malfunctioned and you have 1000+ eyes on you. Your throat wells up and you can't talk. While I do find it funny the man posted on his blog right after and joked about it. He took it like a champ.

I know..happened to me a couple of times too...
I've inherited an android device from my dad.
It has been given to me as it was, unchanged, and with his XDA app and account still on it.
I'm getting messages from someone who obviously dislikes my dad.
I've explained in the CM13 forum that my dad has now left XDA and I've been gifted his phone.
I'm only 16 and this is my first android.
I'm not sure how to remove my dads XDA account off the phone but this person won't leave me alone and keeps messaging me saying I'm really my dad but telling everyone I'm one of his children.
Can someone please advise me on how to stop these messages, they are really nasty with bad swear words and nasty names and have upset me, and I've told my dad but it seems the reason he left XDA was over these messages.
Please help, this is bordering on harassment now.
This is the message I got.

OK that's why you decided to drag the drama into the forum then? You really his son or is daddy acting like his son now? Either way it's ****ing pathetic lmao. If you are his son then your dad is the most immature ****ing 44 year old father of 3 I've ever ****ing heard of and that's the truth.Go view his posts and see that I'm not the only one who has brought up his drama and victim games. He just didn't like how blunt I was about it and apparently can't take it like a ****ing man.
You don't think it's weird that e comes in to announce that he's calling it a day on this forum and the reasons why are personal and he won't et into it. Then goes right into saying why RIGHT AFTER saying he wasn't going to mention it. Then feels the need to mention his age and how many kids he has and that he has heart issues? What the **** does that have to do with anything other than trying to et sympathy? That's a sad excuse for a man in all honesty.
He can take that people ale him out on being very immature. Plain and ****ing simple. He heard he truth bounty and can't deal with it and that's just ****ing sad
