Samsung USA Getting Hammered On Facebook

For anyone interested it's a good read. Galaxy S users are pressuring Samsung USA on virtually every post Samsung has made on the lack of the 2.2 update. I doubt it will have any affect but it does shed light on the plight of the Galaxy S owners and with hundreds being posted somebody will respond sooner or later somewhere whether Samsung or AT&T.

Haha, I especially enjoyed this comment:
I was going to check it out on my Captivate, but it's turned itself off again. Maybe when it gets through rebooting.

Good thing the GPS doesn't really work, or people would be showing up at their headquarters!

Might help raise awareness of the issue
We are the 3% of the Captivate phone owner population that realized we are getting screwed, but the other 97% might never know of the update situation and are completely unaware that an update could potentially fix a lot of their problems

Did they close/delete the post? Your link is not taking me to it. I WANT to give my two cents too.

It's the principle of the thing, you know? Support your products, Samsung. We aren't going to buy new products just to get an open source upgrade. Thank God for xda...

Still there, once you get to the page click on Samsung USA + Others

I just reported the page to facebook as a scam or spam page....

Seriously? And you did this why?

Because the promise of the update has been a scam so far...and they're unwilling to answer inquiries directly.

Well at worst case all that would accomplish is getting their FB page shutdown (highly improbable) and close a source for the public to get informed.

looks like they turned off posting to their wall

You just need to "like" the page first to write comments. Just remember to delete the fact that you liked it on your profile page
I left some friendly () comments of my own

Just be sure to be a little nice about it but make the point that we need/want what was promised. no need to go over the top.
I am going to check it daily and post something on every new topic i see. I request that others do it also, aiming to just get some sort of info from them about the situation.

Haha I've been one of the people posting over at Samsung USA for the last few weeks. I try to go ever there and post a comment or an article every so often. It's been good to see more and more people doing the same. Don't know if it'll do any good or not, but at least it's cathartic and it spreads the word. Glad to see some people have taken notice.

If the word gets out, it will do damage to brand reputation. And everything is about advertising.

Class action lawsuit filed and in motion for the vibrant. very much worth looking into and seeing if us Captivate owners can get in on it as its basically the same device.

They also have a samsungusa youtube account to leave comments on

bug on nexus s?

is it true that there's a bug in nexus S phones that's why the price dropped tremendously ? , for real ?

Who told you, the wind?
If you want serious answers you should consider sharing your sources.

i just saw some articles over the internet
just google it if you're interested..coz i got only 2 post counts and am not allowed to share any links
i just wanna know if it does exists, before i buy one for myself

If what exists? A bug? All phones have bugs to varying degrees. You need to be more specific and detailed.

I have had my Nexus S for four days now and have to say that there are no bug's that I have found on it, so unless you can say just what kind of bug, say such as something doing a force close, then I do not think anyone will be able to give you a answer!!!!

DOH!!! Damn you.
BTW, if the price drop of the nexus has dropped to
320 British pounds sterling = 519.6160 US dollars
That's still a lot of money.
NYYFan325, had to thank you for the laugh

On a serious note I did read somewhere (too lazy to go find link) that the NS4G was being sold for $99 w/ 2 year contract. Thats a solid $100 less then Sprint stores.

You guys know how it works, they care more about the 2 yr contract extension than they care about the
price of the phone. Wirefly and amazon sell pretty cheap. You can get cheap prices at Sams club and Costco. Doesn't mean that the phone has a bug in it.

Sorry i forgot to mentioned the bug that am talking about..
have you guys heard of the "Reboot Bug" in google nexus S ?, i heard it just reboots the phone automatically,

The Nexus S, on the other hand, has not given me one hiccup after a month of use.

When is the OPO coming out for actual sales?

Im joined up to OP to be inline for invite but it will prob take awhile as joined maybe a week and half back. I'm happy with my HTC one max. But really like this phone. I'm not paying over the odds when to actually buy its £280 but people trying to get £350+. Thanks

Asking here is fairly pointless, you're not gonna get a solid answer. The only people that can answer that are OnePlus themselves.

It's been tallied up, through various sources, leaks, hearsay that they have only sold around 50,000 devices, from late May til end of July.
Run the numbers, and you might get an idea of how long it will take if that turns out to be the case, UNLESS they can push production
way up, which I doubt. They originally said they could produce 30k per week, but obviously that was another OnePlus fable.

This is purely speculation but I wouldn't be surprised if we don't actually see that day. We don't know for sure but they are either making very little or actually losing money per device. We also know that this phone as a whole is losing them money. The invite system might be their way of limiting that loss while keeping the hype high so they can release their next device as an actual money maker that is open for all to purchase.
I could be totally off base but I also wouldn't be surprised if this is the case.

Hmm OK. I'm really debating whether to just leave it and hold out until 2016 when my contract stops and check what phones are around then and just get a 128gb sandisk and stick with current phone just being able to use it for a lot more stuff.

I hear tomorrow is the day they are being sold to the public....

Come on now just like you said its pointless to ask and the face I put at the end of my statement meant I was joking. Lol
Don't even know why someone would even post that question but that's just me... Lol Again I was kidding

Yeah it's really hard to say what they plan on doing.
I was hoping for shareable invites since that's how I got my Opo but who knows.
One rumor is that early supporter invites are fine and now it's only via shareable invites that you can get One. Until it goes to presale.

Mate what because I asked when will it be coming out for actual sales are you serious I only asked because I like the phone. You may have managed to get an early invite or someone gave you an invite doesn't mean 1000s of people out there would love the phone but haven't had as much luck

Aliexpress seller with no yellow screen

Hello. I want this phone since the first rummors appeared, but it scared me a little bit when i read that many people have the yellow screen problem.I want to buy it from aliexpress, seems to be the best prices there. I want to share your experience with the sellers and if it had the screen problem. I know there is a topic in the general section about aliexpress, but i want some straight answers. Thank you

There's already a thread for this.

Check on swappa. I have seen multiple phones there with the seller stating that the phone doesn't have any yellow.

Just as a warning: depending on where you live, the chinese OPO edition may not have the 3G/LTE bands you need.

The Chinese OPO has all the bands except some very specific US only LTE bands.
OT:
Doesn't matter where you get your phone from, the yellow screen issue will probably be there in one way or another. I bought my phone from Aliexpress and it had a slight yellow tint at the bottom that slowly went away with usage in a few weeks time.
Contrary to what many would have you believe, the Chinese version and the international version are basically the same. So if you really want to get an OPO, go for it.
And yes it should work great in Romania

Anyone else tired of their note 5

TL;DR I can't stand Samsung and my note any longer, anyone else feel the same way?
As I sit here looking at my note 5 and all the accessories I have for it, probably 10 cases, several tempered glass screen protector's, level on Bluetooth headset, 2 level on wired headsets, 2 Samsung qi chargers, most of which hasn't even been used and I find myself hating it all. I prefer Nexus devices yet I thought I could handle Samsung again, I was wrong. I can't lol. I still owe on the phone else it would be gone, am I the only one? Anyone else just want out from Samsung?
Not really whinning, I got myself into this mess and eventually will get out of it but the thought that I may not be alone has me intrigued. The phone itself is great, Samsung and the elements of tw that I can't ditch as well as still being on L have finally just gotten the best of me I suppose. You? First world problems at its best I suppose.

I have always enjoyed compiling my own builds and picking what I like when running AOSP, something I knew wasn't going to happen with the note but none the less, I miss it. I prefer stock Android, again, my fault for thinking it wouldn't get to me like it has and also lack of updates, even security updates. The phone has its pluses, no question and has an awesome screen.. Just not enough for me anymore.

Absolutely true, if the phone was paid off or I could afford to pay it off I would go that route. I can't right now, I owe around 500 on it, they sell for less and I would then need to replace it with another phone for around the same amount. Nothing I can do right now, more or less just frustrated and wanted to complain lol.

Maybe you could afford to pay it off if you hadn't bought all those accessories.. ಠ_ಠ
I just don't get the point of this post..
Lets take the logic of it and apply it to something else.
I really like building computers, love swapping out parts and beefing up the memory, swapping graphics cards so I can play the latest games. Then I bought a surface tablet. I'm sad, anyone feel the same way?
Did I mention I also got every color keyboard they offered to go with it? What was I thinking.

The accessories were given to me from Samsung, part of the promotion's for buying the phones. They sent me the Bluetooth version of the headset as they were out of stock on the regular ones, I purchased 2 notes and an s6 edge +.
The cases and screen protector's came from amz trader, have maybe 5 bucks in them all total.
You do not have to understand this post, don't have to agree with it yet you feel the need to comment that you don't understand the point, ironic no? This is the general section for the note 5, I am posting my thoughts on the phone after 4 months of using it, I am over it and made a mistake on buying it.

What I don't understand is someone buying a device they obviously wouldn't be happy with then coming to write a post about how they unhappy with it.
The whole point of my over the top analogy was to draw attention to the fact that you bought something you wouldn't like, and surprise surprise you don't like it.
Usually I don't see much purpose in posting the obvious.
Now if you were looking for ways to like it then I could see a point. No one said you couldn't post. I just shared my opinion on it.
It's not ironic at all. It's just how forums and social networks work.

It's the advertising hype train, got a buncha yall on the s7. See those shiny new devices and run out and buy them, advertising so good it makes you ignore what you want in a device for whatever they are giving you.

Not going to get into a back and forth with you over it, just seeing how others feel about the phone after having it for a while.

I'll say it does suck being stuck with something you aren't happy with. Maybe consider trading it in at best buy to pay off the EIP and get a nexus. See what kind of dent their trade in will put on your EIP. I'm thinking it's at about 200 to 250 on trade in though.
Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk

I'm in the same boat.
I wanted the S7 edge to be my new phone but the locked bootloader forced me to upgrade to a note 5 for root.
The Nexus 6P has serious build quality issues. It literally folds when a phone shouldn't.
I could trade in my Note 5 to T Mobile for 242 and that would leave me owing $170 EIP.
What else is there?
The LG G5 has some serious build quality issues (small space between chin and screen, it's plastic, lower quality screen, heat issues, etc).
Compared to what's out there, the Note 5 is the best of the rest less the S7 edge.
I really miss my S4.

Come on guys, the man made a thread to complain .... let him do so along with those who want to. Coming in here to force them to see it your way is not going to fly, and will just lead to arguements that will take away from the purpose of this thread....as against it as you may be.
He is a note owner, and he is stating his opinion just as you all have about how much you love it a 5 years after its release (yes im over exaggerating)
