communicate with samsung...

http://www.xda-developers.com/communicate-with-samsung/ samsung and xda's new way to ask questions check it out see if we finally get answers
edit: By the way you should check out http://twitter.com/supercurio if i could have anyone represent me right now i believe he would be the best

so, we are only allowed to ask questions we should already know the answer to, or could look up via search engine? C'mon, really?...really?

I dont know just providing the link saw it on samsung johns twitter we will see what questions actually get answerd

does anyone know if xda sells out cheap, or if samsung had to really wine and dine first?
at any rate I say boycott the new "communication" attempt like a plague

i for one am going to compiled all the questions i have about what doesnt work with my captivate and my gf vibrant and send it and probably will never hear back on those issues and still be angry with samsung im about 200% sure this is mine and her last samsung device but answers could lower that to about 150%

hmmmm ...... I thought xda wasn't corporate.....

I did not open this thread to bash anyone just to inform people of samsungs next step so please leave that out

Example of good questions:
What’s the difference between Super AMOLED Plus and Super AMOLED?
Why did Samsung name its flagship phones “Galaxy S” … what is the significance of “S”?
What determines whether Samsung upgrades a phone to the next version of Android?

i hope whoever created this list of "good questions"
didn't do so with a straight face.....doesn't samsung have their own support site for basic knowledge/softball question of that nature?
Not trying to flame but that seems pointless.
PS - i think it is completely asinine to say that "where is froyo" is a bad question or off limits when along with questions about flawed gps or random shutdowns is probably the most pertinent and pressing question especially given that it had been promised by the end of 2010....my 2 cents.

this is useless. its a big pr stunt. all of the questions that are "good questions" are the ones we dont need someone inside samsung to tell us. the "bad questions" are the only ones we want answered. yet again, samsung fails.

Just sent a question, a good question by their standards. Will post back when and if I get a reply.

step one: google "samsungjohn" or "samsung john"
step two: only submit questions about those questionable results...

i asked my good and my bad questions and probably wont get any answers but might as well ask them it took 2 sec and i was done who knows what will happen

Yup, all the questions I have would be in the bad category.....figures.

Pathetic. I'm ashamed that xda has become Samsung's propaganda machine. Tell Samsung to answer the questions we have about gps and froyo. No one cares about the S in Galaxy S. That's a horrible question.
Take the page down tell Samsung to do their own advertising.
NO ONE RESPECTS SELLOUTS.

i was taught in school that there are no bad questions just bad answers. Is no answer a bad answer?

they should give us a more comprehensive list of acceptable questions.
and since they will only answer acceptable questions and generally know what the acceptable questions are why don't they just release it as a FAQ.
the only part of that form that makes any sense if the developer feedback.

my questions
"Thank you for opening a line of communication to your user base. My questions are,
Does Samsung see a value in the work that the devs have done on Xda?
Does this value help or hurt our chances of future updates to the phones?
Now that multiple threads by SamsungJohn have been open and closed due to obvious and just flaming (flaming could have been toned down), Does samsung actually see the anger of its customer base and are they willing to actually do anything about it. This site has a lot more pull when it comes to word of mouth than what they perceive.
why are you only wanting non technical questions that we can get the answers to by reading our manuals, or searching on the internet"
Hopefully i won't get flagged/banned or whatever.

I'm a full time software developer. If I told my boss that asking when my next software version will be released was a bad question I would be fired.
Samsung - You're fired.

Main forum for samsung galaxy fit gt 5670

request to moderator of XDA
please create development (Main FOrum) for galaxy fit gt S 5670
we have a LOW activity device forum till yet
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1260
Hoping for good development after this forum

Because themes and ROMs magically appear out of thin air.
Do you even know if the device has been rooted? :/

yes i rooted my phone and i didnt mean that
what you think bro
i m using 2.3.4 and rooted
froyo also can b rooted with super one click

yes its an emerging device so the development should be encouraged

@ XDA moderators i am expacting a reply plz

Do you have any idea how many devices that XDA already provides a home for? Unless there's a SERIOUS audience for a device, it won't be added. They've said this so many times before. You probably won't get a reply from the Mods.

k thanx

The device is fairly old, and specs are very low. Can't really see much development interest in a device like it...
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_fit_s5670-3726.php
240 x 320 pixels, 3.3 inches
600 MHz processor

its not old its launched in march 2011
the device is already having gingerbread 2.3.4 by samfirm please do
something abt it

Same here buddyy.... even I've requested alot but got no positive response........ feels like throwin my device or cracking this website..... there's no developer of galaxy fit available here.......... also guyz I've seen developers for galaxy mini here where its a very low end device...... n our device is a competitor to lg optimus 1 whose forum is also available n many dev.s are also avialable for it.... so y r device is treated so bad..... don't kno....?????

kk...PLzz give me the OFFicial froyo 2.2 for galxy fit DDKA6

our device is more advance than
galaxy5
galaxy mini
galaxy 3
galaxy spica
lg optimus 1
@ mod check properly first then plz provide us a forum too

I don't think you guys get it, you're not getting a forum if they don't think there's enough demand for it.
5 of you asking over and over again won't change that.

@liquidsolstice
Bro its k if we r not gettin a new forum but can u just help us out n figure out a good way to request the developers for us.... I really need to grow now.....please suggest us something....
Sent from my GT-S5670 using XDA App

liquidsolstice
bro if i have gt 5670 and i am demanding forum there is nothing bad in it
everyone want development for his phone
and this websight for us too maybe we will get it later

I checked with the magic 8 ball and it said "Chances not so good". Im pretty sure XDA's magic 8 ball must have said the same thing, hence the lack of a forum. Cheers

Why discrimination ؟؟
Main forum for galaxy fit Required

yah the forum should be on xda
xda should should support this new phone i may be too demanding.

thanx for ur support guys

I'm telling you, you need a much larger demand than just the few of you.
Have you reached out to anyone with the phone who's messed with it? Perhaps a system dump? Maybe seeing if the hardware is similar enough to something to port?
You can't just jump in, make requests, and assume XDA will magically make it happen, guys.

What will be a suitable time for our forum to move away from here with old devices?

I want to ask the moderator for my serveral concern.
1. What is the criteria for being a forum on top or to be list in compact view? Is it about the number of post? No. The number of posts in our android development part is great in number, even more than the phone I am using now HTC sensation and no need to say about galaxy mini ,ace or moto atrix.
2. Is it about the number of Roms? surely not also! We have quite a number of ROMs although most of them are edited from stock ROM, but the number of developers are also quite enough for being a phone on top . The number of themes, mods, tweaks are so many as well.
3. Is it concern about the update frequency ? Again it is a mistake .our forum update frequency is on the top level. About 100 new posts appeared everyday. Is that an enormous number? Not quite, comparing with galaxy s2. But I think it is quite a number comparing with other phones like HTC Evo3d or Samsung galaxy captivate.
4. Is the phone not popular enough? No! Our phone is one of the most popular phone in Asia. With cheap price and relatively high spec, the number of user is still increasing. As I know in China and my city Hong Kong, the number of user of i9003 is more than I9000!
5. Slow official update, no CM, no miui, I9003 don't deserve a place on top.
Well maybe we don't have miui is a fact. But we can see that the speed for Samsung to update the firmware about our phone is suddenly in an incredible speed. So slow official update is not a matter. Many phone on top page even loses the promise to update to gingerbread from their manufacturer! Is that a reason don't let us to be on top? Our cyanogenmod is now developing! Maybe our cm developing stage is slow but at least we are doing! Is that reasonable ?
I hope the moderator can gave the answer to us as soon as possible. I hope the mods can provide us a schedule about what is the criteria and when can we be on top.
I know I am no longer an I9003 user. But I am still a member of the community, the business of I9003, is the business of mine!

superb buddy...same thing was going in my mind from so many days...

I'm not sure, let me me see what I can find out.

I think our community is now mature enough and we should take action now to request the moderator to promote us to a new position.

agreeing with you fxzy

It's strange that I didn't see this post at the November.
I agree with all your words in your topic. Strange that we are still in the "Legacy & Low Activity Devices". Because both these parts are not true for our device.

We need to break free from this low activity forums!

If I9003 is a legacy, but why galaxy s 4G can live separately with i9000? Galaxy S 4G is more similar to i9000, but they still get a separate forum on the top.

that's the problem.....its the same with AT&T ,and T-Mobile variants of galaxy s2(they have just got a .2 inch bigger screen!)
they give separate forums for these devices which are released in the US...after all ,the core moderator commiittee are Americans!
since the i9003 wasnt released in the US,hence the situation!

what would be improved if our forum was relocated from the low activity section? is it just a feeling of happiness that you're no longer considered low activity? yes, I have this phone, but no, I don't really care which section we're in as long as it's working fine. I will say that being a sub-forum of the i9000 was a bit hard, especially for organization of information, but whether we're "low-" or "high-activity" makes no difference as far as I see. please explain the improvements we'd see...

Can't only agree with you guys, the popularity of i9003 won't change now, and be here or elsewhere won't change anything to the situation.

Tottaly agree with you like the others. It's about time we were put in the proper place.

Sick of XDA's biasedness.

Well I post this in the Sony Xperia S' forum. But I think it should be addressed here as well. If you're a Samsung fan boy feel free to walk.
Ok folks here's my sentiment about XDA's biasedness towards Samsung. If you're a samsung fan boy feel free to walk.
So the US versions of the Samsung Plasticky s3 have not come out yet and yet there already are forums for them? Sprint Samsung galaxy s3
Verizon Samsung galaxy s3
ATT Samsung galaxy s3.
Tmobile Samsung galaxy s3.
But the Sony Xperia Ion is coming out in the same time and it's the only Sony phone in the US but it does not have a forum? I remember when the international s3 had not come out yet and it had its own forum. What bs is that? I'm not really a Sony fan but I'm so sick of how Android is morphing into a Samsung-only avenue. Why not just rename the forum from XDA developers to XDA Samsung's ass kissers to not mislead newbie Android users? I know I will get warnings and stuff but I dont give a crap anymore.
Update: Excuse for not having a Sony Xperia Ion forum:
As I said here a few days ago:

Not every phone can have a home in XDA.
There are many factors affecting the decision, one of them being interesting and continuous development, this is xda-developers after all.
P, U and Sola are relatively new devices, borderline low-end, middle-end at best, so it could go either way.
You need to be patient and in the meantime, try to make the accomodation of more than one phones under the same section bearable.
It is your responsibility to post in the correct sub-section, provide clear and to-the-point thread titles ("HEEEEEEEELP " "OMG wtf happened to my phone" "???" etc, are NOT acceptable) with tags ([P], , [Sola], ) so that the forums are as clean and helpful as possible.
Thanks!
Ion, even though definitely a high-end phone, is just not that popular at the moment. I do not think XDA favors Samsung, users do, so they render their products popular.
Please make your requests here, keeping in mind that they may or may not be met after all.
Thank you!
Now look at the image attached. I call BS on this.

Yawn.

i dont really agree with your sentiment,
Sammsung has flooded the market with their phones they hit every carrier and every pricepoint so there is gonna be alot more users. the GSIII has been a very highly antisipated phone in fact it may even kick the iphone off its pedestal as the single most popular phone.
i find XDA's coverage of Sony to be exceptional the news feed mentions a Sony related item at least 3 times a week. that is impressive because market share wise sony is almost non existant. The forum is very active for most of the Sony models. way more than i have seen on any other site.
What us sony useres have going for us is the fact that Sony has been very accomodating to the Dev comunity and all we need to do is enjoy it and continue to encourage it.

1. I do not see an ATT, VZW or a Sprint dedicated Galaxy S III forum. Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place? Using xda app and don't see it under forum alphabetical names anywhere.
2. The s3 is the most anticipated Android phone of all time, it has something like 20 million units sold/pre ordered already.
3. WWWWHHHHHAAAAAAAA (baby's cry)

So do you think that just because a manufacturer releases a phone that XDA should open up a new forum for it? Got news for you, XDA is FINITE. Hard decisions have to be made about where to allocate resources. That is why there is a specific thread for this purpose. It is sticky noted to the top of the general XDA-developers.com subforum.
New Device Forum Requests
Perhaps if you can get enough people to request a new forum for your device then the admins will see enough of an audience to warrant allocating those resources.

S5 Premium

The S5 Premium is still coming... what do you think?

Of course not. Samsung, with it's IMMENSE marketing budget/strategy will again remain the largest seller of mobile phones this year. Without any doubt.
That being said, sincerely hope a more premium S5 will be released as the current one does not make me giddy in any way whatsoever

There is a thread in this section for "other" device discussion. Otherwise, we do have a Galaxy S5 forum.
