Hello Guys,
My name is John, I recently became the social media analyst at Samsung mobile. I wanted to start opening the lines of communication between XDA and Samsung. First I wanted to say I have noticed your work on our devices on the XDA forums. I think you guys do an outstanding job, I myself am a developer for mobile devices. So let’s get down to business, we’re going to be in Austin from March 10-15 for the SXSW(south by southwest http://sxsw.com/convention). I was wondering if any of you guys are going so that we could meet up and share a couple of ideas I have. I am looking forward to meeting some of you GREAT developers!
Thanks in advance,
John

I honestly hope you are authentic. It is about time that the people who make the phones embrace the superior developmental process.

Or at least attempt to embrace some kind of something. That'd be a start for Samsung.
Sounds like BS advertising to get people in seats at this event.
Interesting...go through his previous posts once, not exactly his first time posting on the forums...

Yeah, sounds troll to me, but it will be nice for them to show here...and learn a bit of how things are done

Yes I am the real deal, I am a developer/social media analyst. I don't mind taking a picture of my badge or something to prove my credibility.

I think he's legit, folks.
If you are indeed an analyst for Samsung, welcome to XDA. I'm sure you've already noticed by now that there is a lot of cynicism both for Samsung and your claim of being an employee. Simple reason for this is that most everyone here feels that Samsung has ignored their pleas for help, didn’t deliver promised upgrades, and left millions of Galaxy S owners with buggy software/hardware, etc.
If your goal is to reach out to Samsung users at the grassroots level, you're in the right place. However, you also have a tough job ahead of you. The disenfranchisement runs deep and it will take a lot of effort to fix.
Here are some suggestions for you to escalate internally within Samsung:
1. Support the development efforts of the XDA developers. There are many talented people working quite hard to customize, fix and generally improve Samsung firmware. Samsung should make some effort to provide these developers with source code, tools, and help.
2. Take an honest and upfront approach to product defects that find their way onto store shelves (e.g. GPS, battery, etc). I guarantee the cost of addressing the problem will be fully offset by the shift in customer loyalty. An unreliable product is perceived many times worse if the OEM denies or ignores the issues.
3. Set a release schedule with carrier partners and stick to it. Apple has set the benchmark for frequent over the wire software updates. Android applications are updated with fixes and improvements on a regular basis. In stark contrast, our firmware lags far behind Google’s releases and FOTA is failing more than it’s working. This has to change. Samsung needs to push out regular firmware updates that are applied seamlessly without loss of data. Forget FOTA and do it like Apple does OTW (over the wire).
4. Allow users the option of switching to AOSP. Some people like TouchWiz and some don’t. Give them the choice.
BTW, in addition to being an informed consumer, I work in the mobile industry. I know a fair amount about how it should work. The Samsung Galaxy product suite is performing very well but the real question is how long will it last. Loyalty takes effort to maintain and is easy to lose.
P.S. I may very well be at SXSW but I won’t know for sure until a week or so beforehand.
I understand I have a lot of work ahead of me. As I said before, Im here to establish a partnership with XDA developers. Inbox me to let me know if your going to be there so i can arrange somewhere to meet.
If he was legit, one of the Admins would be announcing that SamsungJohn is a rep from Samsung; he wouldn't be doing it himself as a post in the forum.

You would think that someone who is in the position he claims to be in, would come in a little more professional than just a random post.
He said he has been lurking the forums and likes what he sees. So he has also seen all the dissapointment that is running through these forums as well.
If you were in his position would you not want to come in here, with support and proof of who you are? (there is multiple threads of the same post in other categories, all have been asking for proof for hours)
I'm not saying hes not who he says he is, just think he could have introduced himself a little better.
Guys, do a little research. Pretty easy to figure out that he is either very thorough or he's actually legit.
Maybe we should tell him that it is a welcome first step to see him here.
He is an analyst so he's going to have to escalate pretty far up the food chain to be effective. Hope you're a good communicator John.

To the board of XDA.
Please give us more credit than what was proposed from Samsung. You are dealing with real people here, and no one is being paid to be a part of this great community that has been growing.
I found it offensive and belittling to all members that the solution that was brought forth was to try to establish a sub forum with specific brand in mind, for all our issues and concerns. We know, as well as them, the problems and concerns we have with our devices.
This site is "registration free", all they need to do is come in to each of the carriers forum and read what our concerns and issues are. Instead they try to take us on a rollercoaster ride that was very counter productive plus a waste of time. A mirage sort of speak for their political gain. In no way it benefited the members here.
I was actually shocked that it went as far as it did. The "hype" that they created was nothing like I've seen. They even posted a youtube video as a metaphor what was in store for us. Giving a false hope and yet tarnishing their company name even more.
What was the main goal? To sugar coat answers?
We want real world solutions, not the same redundant answer we've been getting (or poll).
Bottom line: A real fix. That's if they really cared
As a billion dollar company, Samsung, they can hire hundreds of people to go through all the post in these forums and collective data for themselves. As fore mention they know it's "registration free".
But someone was being paid to come in here to minimize bad PR. He was doing a job! And it was easily revealed. We, as members, are here voluntarily of our own free will. That's what makes this community so great. Keeping it real.
I know XDA was only looking out for our best interest, right? But I can say, "I saw this coming from a mile away".
*grabs torch and pitchfork*
Just wondering why SamsungJohn whats to create a "poll" when we've already gotten the shaft!
Come on guys no need to let it get out of hand. Let it go for now till we get more info.
Listen up people. This is what we need to do to help the public become aware of this very damaging Act. We can not let Big brother push us around any longer.And there constituents the big corporate companies. If you go to this web site and you click on the names of all the people that are in support of the SOPA act. You will see the huge contributions and a generality of where they came from.
http://projects.propublica.org/sopa/
What I and all the members of this site are in need of is something that we can print on paper that we can distribute to the public. So I ask the members to help us to get this done. Pleas come up with or help find the proper info that we can copy and past into a word document that will allow us to print it out and then hand them out to the public. I know that this is something that maybe I should do my self. But, I am on the road all of the time and I work two jobs. And have a wife and two children that I like to spend time with when I get home. I don't have much time to concentrate on this at this time. And we do not have much time. So I ask that you help us out. You do a lot for us in the community. And we as a whole are extremely grateful. We would not ask for your help if it were not so urgent. So I ask that if this is something that when and if done, you either post a comment here or you PM me the item in question. If this info is a collaboration from members and the info is PMed to me I will include if desired the members names that came up with the finished product. Maybe I am saying to much here as I some times do. Maybe this is a bad idea. But, I am not sure as to what else I can do at this time. Again, I travel all over New England all of the time. I will make as many copies as I can to distribute to the public. Also if there are any paper print shops that are willing to help and make prints to give out to people when and if this info gets posted here. I believe that we all will be extremely grateful for the help given.
As a matter of fact, I will make a place holder for the work of art that should be printed up. To the people in the print shops. I live in MA on the Northern boarder of RI. If you are going to pledge your support in this battle. I ask the members that are willing to distribute these flyers get in contact with what ever shop pledges there support and let them know when and where you will pick up the flyer's. And, as a note. If any one here does get involved in this. I can not stress enough that our conduct must at all times be civil. If we are in a parking lot and putting flayer's on peoples vehicles. Please be mindful of the accessories that you are wearing. So as to not scratch other peoples vehicles. And if the owner has the rite to kick you out of the parking lot do not quarrel. Just go and start else where. Thank you and i hope that I have not made to big a fool of my self. good day/night.
Place Holder:
I really hope this gets nipped...
i don't think many people realize how big of a deal this is..
i am all for helping out in any way possible to prevent SOPA

It was originally introduced "by House Judiciary Committee Chair Representative Lamar S. Smith and a bipartisan group of 12 initial co-sponsors."

I can see that they want to stop piracy, but this is clearly the wrong way to do it.
And they're up to 30 co-sponsors now, by the way.
Keep on them "do nothing" representative's before they screw us again!
Agreed, im actually more concerned about this than studying for finals

I urge everyone to take one minute out of their busy lives to read and then sign this petition from the EFF for patent reform. It's very simple, and very well thought out. Many big players and developers already support this. Please do your part as an American Citizen and a member of our great community to stop the patent tyranny that Apple had taken advantage of.
https://defendinnovation.org/
Please reshare this to everyone and every forum you know.
Shifted from Outer Space
I'm British, not American, but I've signed anyway. I find the current state of affairs with respect to patents absolutely disgusting. If it carries on down the same paths then it won't be long before Barack Obama has the ability to sue me simply because I happen to have two arms, two legs and have been born after him.
I posted a thread about this already at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751455
But it mostly just turned into a flame war..

Oh it's fine. People can flame me if they want. I didn't start the petition. I'm just passing along what is a very well written reform thesis

As all of you are well aware, Scott is a major reason why we are able to enjoy Jellybean goodness on our Infuses. Without him, who knows where we would be. He decided to take the challenge of building JB for us, and has continued to improve it so that we can now enjoy a wealth of new features.
Well Scott recently let me know that he was invited to the very first XDA Dev-Con. For those of you who don't know what that is, XDA Dev-Con is a conference by developers, for developers. It's a chance for the brightest developers across XDA to come together and meet in person to share and collaborate their ideas and help further the development on XDA. As well as attend presentations from the very best on XDA.
And as some of you probably already know as well, Scott has a little one coming along the way, and if he's like any other parent out there, he is investing a lot of money in preparation for having a baby around the house. But I know that he would very much like to go to the XDA Dev-Con.
The conference is being held August 9-11 in Miami Florida at the Conrad-Hilton Hotel. This location that was picked is "relatively inexpensive", but I can only imagine what it must cost to stay in Miami.
So this is where you come in. I am asking the Infuse community to come together and see if we can't raise enough money to help send Scott to the XDA Dev-Con in Miami. I think it would be a great way to show Scott how appreciated he is for his development on the Infuse. And his Beanstalk ROM has been slowly flooding across XDA to other devices, including much newer devices like the SGS3, and the Note 2. Yes, the SGS3 and Note 2 are running ROMs that Scott had built for the Infuse because it is that good. And if you read through those threads, they all praise how many great features are built into Beanstalk. I believe it's been ported to about 15 different devices. And I'm sure more will follow. All because of Scott's dedication to the Infuse.
I know that we can find a way to help send Scott to Miami. I'm not going to set up any kind of fund for him, but ask that you donate directly to him through his donation link found here:
Yes! I want to Donate to Scott!
We can let Scott decide how he would like to spend the money.
I know that I would love to see a post from Scott that shows a confirmation letter to XDA Dev-Con. I hope that you do as well. And even if we don't manage to raise enough to send him, I for one will know that I have donated to a great developer, and a great person. And soon, a great father.
So let's send Scott to Miami!
Infuse Rom maintainers, if you would be so kind as to post a link back to this thread I would appreciate it. *I want to get the word spread to others that may not see this thread, but I do not want to spam. *Thank you.

Im honored that this was opened for me. I would absolutely love the chance to attend the developer conference. The invite i received list the conference in the beginning of August and will be 2 nights and 3 days. During that time, I would have a chance to meet and collaborate with many of the other well known developers and im sure that I will be able to learn a ton from them.
With a community like this, I dont think I will ever be upgrading my phone. I may be infuse for life.

Special Announcement!!!
A member has recently contacted me and requested that I make a very special announcement on his behalf. This member would like to remain anonymous for right now. He has informed me that we need to get Scott the recognition that he deserves. I was absolutely blown away by his message and i believe this is what XDA (and the infuse community especially) is all about. I could not thank him enough. So enough blabbering, here is the announcement.
This anonymous member will match any donation towards sending Scott to the XDA Dev-Con this year!
In addition, if we are short of collecting enough money, they will make sure that Scott at least breaks even!
Incredible! But to the rest of the infuse community. Let's not let this one generous member bear the weight of this. Let's keep those donations coming and show Scott and our anonymous friend that we can pull this together and give back when we have been given so much.
Infuse users, keep donating! And a huge thank you to the users that have donated so far. You guys are awesome!

That is great news! Do we know what is it up to now and what is the goal?
So it appears we have a problem. I was discussing this with my wife and she pointed out to me that the conference is scheduled 3 weeks or so after the date of her c section for my sons birth. She informed me that since it is a major surgery and it is shortly after the surgery, she would not feel comfortable being alone with our newly born son and it is my responsibility to take care of my family first. So with that being said, It looks like the Dev-Con trip to Miami for me is cancelled for this year due to ****ty timing.
Although I am not able to go, I would like to express how truly grateful I am to be a part of such a great community like this one. The fact that this page was created to help send me to Miami for a few days is unbelievable and shows just how awesome the XDA members are. I couldn't be happier to develop for the infuse threads. No matter what i say, it will never justify how appreciative i am for all of this. Hopefully the conference will be a success this year and will be scheduled again in the very near future and i will have the opportunity to attend again.
Now... Where do we go from here? To the members that donated and had promises of donating: Thank you very much for your support. Since i am not able to go this year, I wanted to give the members that donated a chance to be refunded if they so desire since the donation was technically to help fund the trip to Miami, which i am no longer able to attend. Please shoot me a PM and let me know if you wish to be refunded and i will do so.

Sad to hear it, but grateful to be a part of this community. Congratulations and blessings on the new born to you and your wife, from me and my wife. There aren't many things that I feel good to contribute to, but this community ranks among the highest. Thanks for everything so far and a toast to all the great things to come.
Buy some diapers and an outfit with my donation! Congrats and good luck on everything.
I was looking how infuse section was and came here. I dont know how to say how much happy I am seeing this. This community is the most united I've ever seen. I own a Nexus4 now but I'll aways remember and like this section. I'll aways remember my infuse and like it. You'll never see a treath section like the infuse one. On Nexus 4 section you dont see things like this one. Anyway I want to thank you Scot for all this. You aways make a great job and you deserve all this. Congratulations! And I'm happy to say that my first jB device was an infuse
Truly Amazing...
Such a Nice Community we have.
Nice saying,
I liked your last line "remember that we're not your kids"
