Samsung CS: "Push email service is not available in Samsung devices..." - Galaxy Note 3 General

I sent an email to Samsung support yesterday about the erratic behavior of push (sometimes works, usually doesn't). I'm surprised to have gotten a response so quickly, but more surprised at the response itself.
Thank you for contacting Samsung Telecommunications America.
We do understand your concern.
We should inform you that the Push email service is not available in Samsung devices as of now. However, should this service become available, it will be posted on Samsung website. We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused.
Should you have more questions regarding your Samsung Mobile Phone, you can also reach out to our chat support team by accessing the following link. Live Chat is available 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Have a wonderful day!

I can't even tell if this is supposed to mean:
"It's broken, but we're working on it."
"It's not supported and don't expect it."
"My name is Aaron and I don't know what push email is..."

I'm going to go with -----

Tell Samsung yourself that GPS is worthless - www.galaxyshelp.com

Samsung just released their official help site for the Galaxy S. I just finished a chat session with tech support concerning the GPS issues. Basically, he said they are aware of it and the engineers are working on it. If enough of us report the issue, I'm sure they will feel the pressure to release a fix to us ASAP.
You dont need to register, when it ask you if you have registered you phone, just hit "yes". Then it will bring you to ways you can contact them.

I must have gotten a bad agent, cause she told me there was no patch or fix (at least at the time), and she told me to try everything I've already done. *Sigh* I think I just have bad luck when talking to people online or over the phone.
How will annoying them get it done faster? The help agent isn't going to tell the software engineers to work faster.

Most help lines mark down the general reason for a call. Later the stats are compiled to determine trends. If gps ranks high someone will probably notice and decide it is important.
yup!
Anyway I don't have a big issue with the gps. Just wait 60 seconds and it's good ( in Los Angeles, suburban areas. )

Uh...it's in the title of the thread
Emailed them and sent them links to all forums that discusses GPS issues.
Got on galaxyshelp.com and talked to a rep. The second I mentioned GPS he gave me a phone number to call and said that higher up reps would have to discuss the issue with me. I'll try calling sometime this weekend and see what I can find out.

Sorry. Didn't notice. I'm accustomed to people putting clickable links to use.
While you are at it, tell them you want them to fix the IO glitch, add some more audio codecs, fix the fm radio, and optimize touchwiz for the next patch.

Chat Transcript
info: Please wait for a Samsung Agent to respond.
info: You are now chatting with 'Sylvester'
Sylvester: Hi, thank you for contacting Samsung Technical Support. How may I help you today?
Visitor: When will the Captivate be getting Froyo? Why doesn't Media Hub work yet?
Sylvester: I understand that you want to know when will Froyo be available for your phone, am I correct?
Visitor: Yes. Does the phone have to have Froyo for Media Hub to work?
Sylvester: I am sorry, but we are unable to speculate when/if this software revision might be available due to the fact that this might lead to inaccurate information and confusion
Sylvester: However, media hub is a different application and is not related to the Froyo update.
Visitor: Is this your response or the "Canned" response put out by Samsuing? Are you saying that it may not ever be available for the Captivate?
Visitor: How do you get Media Hub to work?
Sylvester: It is not a canned response, you will get the update very soon.
Visitor: Which update? Media Hub or Froyo?
Sylvester: Media Hub is only available for the Galaxy Tab and the Epic phone.
Sylvester: The Froyo update.
Visitor: One of the reasons I got this phone was for Media Hub. Samsung represented that is was feature of the phone.
Sylvester: I can understand your concern, but there will be an update very soon for your phone for both Froyo and the Media Hub.
Sylvester: Not to rush you , are we still connected?
Visitor: Can you speculate as to how soon? WIll it be over the air or a Kies update? I have not been able to get Kies to see my phone.
Visitor: Will the update come from Samsung or AT&T?
Sylvester: It will be an over the air update and it will be posted on our website in the Samsung Download Center
Sylvester: It will be from the Samsung and the Froyo update is provided by both.
Visitor: Do you have any idea of how soon we should see it?
Sylvester: I can not speculate the estimated time of approval, but i can assure it will be in the next few days.
Visitor: So I am to understand that it has not been approved yet? If so, how can it be coming out in the next few days? A few days sounds like less than a week!
Visitor: Approved by Samsung or AT&T?
Sylvester: I can assure that it will be released soon because the update has been released fo rthe Samsung intercept phone and it was successfull.
Visitor: What about the indefinite postponement of the Vibrant update? Will that have any effect on the Captivate update
Visitor: Soon is very vague. Will it be in a few days or soon?
Sylvester: It will definitely be in the next few days for sure.
Visitor: Thanks for your help. I look forward to the update.
Sylvester: You are welcome and wish you a very "Happy New Year."
Visitor: You too!
Sylvester: Thanks.
Sylvester: It was a pleasure assisting you. Thank you for contacting Samsung Technical Support. If you have a minute, please click on the blue “X close” button to receive a transcript of your chat and fill out a brief survey to help us serve you better. Have a wonderful day!
info: Chat session has been terminated by the Samsung Agent.
Thanks for sharing but unfortunately the wait is stil on indefinite.

Considering how many of these threads that are posted with no information of value i would highly doubt most users find these threads useful. Your chat has no info at all that clarifies the froyo issue. So what is useful when you chat with a rep giving standard and or bs answers to keep you happy.
This is my captivate. There are many like it buy this one is mine.
i for one, do appreciate OP for the info.

The real thing that should be advertised is the way that ATT & Samsung are doing to their U.S. customers. Facebook & Twitter is overwhelmed by 2.2 froyo requests and yet they go unanswered.
I have gone through this thread and cleaned up the off-topic posts. A reminder that members have two options when visiting a thread:
Option 1
Responding with helpful and constructive information as opposed to "use the search", "try Google", etc.
Option 2
Move on. There is absolutely no reason to respond in a rude tone or to make someone feel stupid ... it is not constructive and serves no purpose.
There seems to be a significant amount of animosity in Android-related forums. I'm not certain as to why this is, nor do I want to hear any reason for justification; what I do know is that it is unacceptable.
XDA is about bringing together folks who have similar passions about mobile technology. As the forum is accessed worldwide, you will encounter all types of folks from different walks of life; some of these folks will be extremely technical, others not. In all cases, it is the responsibility of all members to remain respectful of one another. We all have different opinions, we do not all have the same level of knowledge, and some folks are looking to feel like they are learning while trying to contribute.

Thank you mine were set to share, never received email or told about this before hand.
Funny thing is right after reading this thread yesterday I checked and all five of my lines were set to share. I changed all of them to not share and then this morning I received the same email the the OP received.
While we're on the subject of being spammed, always remember that no matter how "confidential" or how much "respect" they will treat your account with, the real kicker is those 3rd parties. While verizon says they will never blatantly give out your information, there's always some line buried in there that basically says they are not responsible for what their 3rd parties do. So if company A gives info to only company B, but company B can give info to CDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ123456789, then basically company A has just given your info away to the entire universe. See how catchy that works? I just always like to point that stuff out. "We will never give your information out, but we cant be held responsible for what our partners do lolololz!"
This program really isn't new. Ifyou google around you'll see they made it"opt out"last year sometime when it should have always been opt in. I think I first read about out in theconsumerist.com. It's evil though.
I got the Verizon email last night, DENIED them after reading. But seriously, what are the benefits to the consumer of this?
I swear to god, I opted out last year. However, here it is again this year, and I'm opted in on all lines...
I never got the letter, but thankfully, mine was set to "Do Not Share". I wouldn't put it past the sneaky ba*tards.
finally got my email on this. checked the setting and it was back at allow after i switched it to no! Jerks!
Yeah, no email here, but all 5 lines were set to share.
Thanks for the heads up mate

Contact Samsung directly in regards to Bootloader

Hey guys, instead of only filling complaints with the FCC/Verizon, we should also be pursuing Samsung. I already went ahead and sent out a message on their contact site. It isn't a direct letter to a CEO or anything like that, but, one would believe that enough attention will get a letter slipped through the cracks.
Remember, use tact, type grammatically correct, and be extremely respectful. They may "work for us", and we may "own the product", but without them directly breaking a law, we have no reason to get out of line.
For those of you who have yet to file a complaint with the FCC, might as well spend the time doing that as well in the same sitting.
Here is the letter I sent, as well as the link to their form.
https://contactus.samsung.com/custo...MailQuestionProduct.jsp?SITE_ID=1&titleCode=1
Sir or Ma'am,
I am writing today in regards to the issue with the locked bootloader on the Verizon SCH-i535. In many regards this is one of the greatest phones I have ever used, I also have the Verizon Nexus device. My issue, along with thousands of other Verizon subscribers, is that we would like the capability to unlock the device for free use.
Verizon was just recently fined for not allowing certain apps like tethering to be used on the network by the FCC. I know this doesn't hold any relevance much to the bootloader, however, it seems as if with Verizon being the only network requiring such locks that there must be some other underlying decision. Manufacturers like HTC have taken measures to allow unlocking of their devices on Verizon with their HTC Developers portal. This may only be a personal, or small community opinion, but I believe the device would sell significantly better, at least among the knowledgeable developers/modders, if it was unlocked, or unlock-able.
There have been several petitions past around, as well as dozens of e-mails, tweets, and the like to try and understand why we are being forced to be locked down unlike the other carriers. It doesn't seem appropriate that the Galaxy Nexus should be capable of being unlocked, while this device cannot. How does locking one device prevent harming the "integrity" of the network? If this were truly an issue, I would assume any and every device would be locked before they were even introduced to the network, as well, other carriers would follow suit.
In a side note, many willing customers have been awaiting the "Developer Edition" device. We are all aware that there really is not difference between this device and ours, aside from being capable of unlocking. So, how can there be 2 of the same devices on the same network, yet the device we hold cannot be unlocked? It really seems as if you guys are trying to work FOR us, the customer, while Verizon is working against all of us.
In the end, really I am just another loyal customer curious as to if/when we could see a utility that would give us the capability of unlocking out device to use at our liking? We are all well aware that it may void our warranty, but in our eyes the benefit outweighs the risk.
I would like to ask politely if my concern be passed along to all of those that may be concerned, specifically Samsung Mobile US CEO and such.
Thank you all for your time, I look forward to a response.
Respectfully,
Andrew Lemacks

No problem. This tactic has worked on HTC devices, I would assume Samsung should follow suit. Although, Samsung has less to lose.

Awesome, the more the better.
Anyone who hasn't seen, you may want to follow up with using EDNYLaw's template for filing your complaint in about the best manner possible. He couldn't make it any easier! When they FCC gets flooded with complaints like that, it's a lot harder to look the other way as you shred what look like "legal" documents. Take the time people. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1820634&page=8
Good luck!
No need for luck.
Already sent the FCC complaint, not just did this as well.
Awesome, let's continue the push everyone!

Thank you for your inquiry about your Samsung Galaxy S® III (Verizon)(SCH-I535) and we understand that you're having concern with the locked bootloader of the phone.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. We appreciate hearing from our customers, as your comments are vital for us to continue improving our products, as well as our business.
There is no configurable option on the handset to unlock the Bootloader, as this may affect the software of the phone and also can cause unstable performace.

We will forward your feedback request to the appropriate parties for further review and consideration.

This. This! 1,000 times this!
The fastest way to get any communication to a company round-filed is to be disrespectful, to not meticulously grammar-check your writing (seriously, have at least one other person check it for you before sending), and to resort to foul language of any sort (even milder stuff like "damn", "hell", etc can give your letter an offputting tone).
As AtLemacks said, they're not breaking the law, and they've done this under the direction of Verizon. As crappy as Samsung can be in the software arena, they are not ultimately to blame for this (though they could bear some culpability for not pushing back).
So please, check your writing, have someone else read it, read it again, put it down and go to bed for the night, then read it again when you get up in the morning before you send it out.
I got a response from Samsung today and I just had to post it here. My emotions as I initially saw that I had this but then started, and completed, reading it: :victory: -> ->:rofl: -> :crying:. I have not altered ANY of this email including the names. As you read it, keep in mind my letter was extremely polite and grammatically correct...and my name is NOT Rick.
Dear Rick,
Thank you for your inquiry. I see that that you have question of unlock the bootloader so you can customize the phone.
As of now We still do not have updates about that, and as of now verizon lock the bootloader.But if we have update about unlocking the bootloader will be posting it to the website so please do visit our website(www.samsung.com/us).
At your earliest convenience, please call Samsung Customer Support by phone at our toll free number 1-800-726-7864. Please choose the following options by pressing 1 – Customer, 2 – Tablet, and then 3 – Wi-Fi Galaxy Tablet.
We appreciate your continued interest in Samsung products.

ps : sorry for long conversation but this is reality
It's an 18 month old device, receiving the latest OS is fairly uncommon for devices of that age.
The fact about such customer service associates is that they don't care about the person they are talking with and nor about the company they are working for. They have automated replies for certain types of queries which they forward or frame sentences having the same meaning.
So even if we ask or request them thousands of times they would simply submit the conclusion of the query to their system and put an end to it. We can only believe about a update if it's stated publicly via their websites, social networks, official blogs, etc.
It just says not eligible for a nougat update, but that could simply mean at this moment in time since officially there is no nougat update for any iteration of the Style/Pure. These guys are typically front end customer service reps and may or may not have any knowledge of what goes on in the programming/development departments.
It also means .....don't call us we'll call you and if we have something to say we'll say it.... So stop bugging us!!!!
Lol the same canned responses came out when I was on the lgg3 in regards to Marshmellow. And we ended up getting it. As others said quit asking front end dumb dumbs who know nothing about this as they only know what their computer says at the moment.
I used to work in customer service. Customer service workers know nothing regarding what goes on behind the scenes... If they did, they'd be getting paid a hell of a lot more than they do. Their only job is to get the customer off the line with as little friction as possible-- as fast as possible. They don't care about your personal grievances nor do they have any influence on the company that they work for. As long as they did not objectively insult you, they did their job regardless if they even answered your question. And Damn was I good at all of the above.... Sometimes depending on how the customer approached me and the customer's level of intelligence I'd throw a sly sideways insult in there in such a way that I could get away with it on the recordings. Moral of the story - don't make the assumption that customer service cares.
Also... Please be nice to customer service reps... Because of all of the above, if you actually want something from them, be SUPER NICE AND APPRECIATIVE... Then and only then will they go out of their way for you..... /end of rant [emoji4]

LOL. Being super nice has not always worked in my experience... But then again, if the reps are working from a scripted system and are making me go through a process that I have already been through the first two times I've called about fixing a specific issue after I have informed then of previous calls, they deserve a firmer response.

You are right. I should have clarified. I was speaking about US based customer service. They typically don't have hard "scripts" just guides and touching points. Foreign customer service have the scripts that they will ramble off... because they don't even understand what you are trying to say in the first place. You will never get anywhere with outsourced service... That is the reason why I only deal with companies that have service in the US for the important stuff that I don't play around with (banking and credit cards)

Believe it or not, banks outsource their service too. My gf works for Chase. She's in the Philippines.
According to the only official source we have, the Moto X Pure will still be receiving Nougat.
Yes many companies do outsource. However, some are actually smart about it. My bank doesn't outsource and they have always provided phenomenal service for the hour of day. However, with tech companies, due to bad customer service experience, by the time I have to call them, I have thoroughly researched the issue and tried everything I could. I have found that due to the fact I have some degree of technical knowledge and know how, when I start explaining the issues and what I've done to the rep, they are lost before I get started good. It is at that point I politely ask for someone who can actually understand the jargon.
Yeah Moto's help site says we are still.

something good is happening

We don't know anymore... It used to be through the Motorola Feedback Network, but you can't enroll devices anymore, the link is just gone.

Yet it has had a limited roll out of n and we have been promised we would get updates. Quicker than we are n should have been pushed to our devices in December and we should be discussing if we will get O or not(not likely we are not Nexus/pixel)

I'm not saying it wont receive N, I'm just pointing out it's not as strong a candidate as a lot of newer devices. News of the soak test sounds promising, but I'm yet to see any evidence of it... You'd think a few benchmarks would be cropping up etc.
