Android. When you read about Android it's all good things. You like constant changes that Android brings to the community, so you go and buy a phone that will deliver that. You go and buy a Samsung cause you like the looks of it. This kind of phones as we know aren't cheap, you actually expect that the phone will be supported for this kind of money.
Samsung Galaxy and other Android phones from Samsung are good phones, that come with:
- terrible support
- New PC studio 99% of functions don't work with this phones
- NO major Android updates
- NO status on updates
- minor updates have to be done manualy thru NPS that sometimes doesn't even detect your phone
- the newest XXIK4 firmware isn't available to all, if this forum wouldn't exist I'd still have stock FW
HTCs Hero phone is getting ready for 2.1, while Samsung Galaxy is still at v1.5.
Samsung Galaxy users are becoming furious, they are selling their phones just because of the way Samsung is treating them. The more optimistic users are trying to make a difference with:
- petitions (Upgrade firmware of Samsung Galaxy to Android 2.0 - Petition Spot)
- writing their own Android versions, which is hard due to security in the phone
- delivering the latest minor firmware
- begging Samsung to release new version of Android, or unsecure the phone
etc..
- maybe Samsung is going to update Galaxy to 2.1 when the new Samsung phones come out with stock 2.1 but I think that's not gonna happen, I'm probably not the only one.
Anyhow everybody is starting to give up on this phones, thus everything that Samsung did will be forgotten. Everybody that bought this phones for big sums of money got screwed with a vision of progress.
Google as the partner of Samsung doesn't do anything to fix this shame for Android as Samsung prepares new phones that will probably get the same crap support.
All the people of this forum please digg this for max results, thank you.
