[Q] Galaxy S being phased out? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since galaxy s was released we have been receiving huge amounts of supports like roms, mods, and other things. But now that new and better phones are being released do you think that the galaxy wouldnt get the same support as it has today?
Edit: Please move this to the general thread. i thought i was at general but i only realized that i was in android development and now i dont know how to delete it. hehe. sorry!

You mean 'phased out'?
Answer is no, btw. At least not right away. Nothing is officially announced as coming to a given carrier, why would it be phased out?

sorry for that! hahaha!

As of this week Galaxy S is still being launched on new carriers in the US and Canada. This is Samsungs flagship phone why would it be phased out?

I dont think it will completely. Samfirmwares said samsung thinking bout giving gingerbread to galaxy S, but you know how that goes. By the way for anyone interested, they just posted the first i9200 galaxy S2 ROM @ Samfirmwares.

why dont you start using your brain and read the whole post first? and by the way, that edit was done WAY BEFORE you posted your post

When Samsung introduces new phones, the Galaxy S will drop in price, making it available for more people. Which is a good thing. The hardware of the Galaxy S is great and the device has a lot of modding potential.

Phase out
Samsung Galaxy S i9000 Phase out in the philippines
is it just here in the phils?
I just talked to the saleslady in the Samsung store inside one of the malls here in the Phils .. She Quoted " The phone you were asking for is Phased out for a 3 months now " Is it true ?
But i haven't tried asking other malls ..
Also i asked different stores in the mall and they said the same answer ..
dang !

This thread is 18 months old now... and technology has moved on. You probably need to look at second hand market now if you want a Galaxy S GT-I9000. Still an awesome phone!

i dont know bout i9000 but i9001 is phased out in malaysia already. i bought the last unit in the whole store in feb. o.o

got my i9000 as a second hand phone and works like a charm...if I had to choose another phone,I'd buy the plus version.

it was a dumb thing to buy that garbage in the first place ... u guys just eating ur own medicine
never buy a low-mid end phone and expect it to fully function , these are crippled devices and they get no attention from companies after launch ..
Couldn't have put it better myself. I prefer dev phones from google, tbh. But, that's just me.
sounds like most phones released. Bugs caused by carrier overloaded crap and then no support.

Hmmm whats this?

Were is Gingerbread ?

Now i no this may have been covered in other posts But !
I no there versions of 2.3.3 kicking around but i look after a company's 15 mobile phones and they only update via kies.
I no in the UK the roll out has been pulled, and service centres have been told not to put the firmware on, i also no that Android (Google) Told Samsung to stop the update this was weeks ago all my contacts have been told to say nothing
All the new stuff coming out eg Google talk the company i'm looking after they want but i'm not putting firmware on that is not meant for the phone.
The phone is very capable to run 2.3.4 as the phone is the same spec as the Nexus S, They have already asked if they should of got this phone.
I to have had doubts as to weather i should of got this phone, and gone for a Nexus S
Any one no what is going on with Samsung and android will XEU customers get any form of Gingerbread?????
If you "no" that the subject has been covered in lots of other threads, why the need to post this?
The info is on here time and time again. "no" one "no's" any more than you can see.
lol
And yes, I am sure obliquely threatening that Samsung will use 15 customers on a website that is not owned, operated or likely even closely watched by Samsung, will spur Samsung to drop their stalling and release Gingerbread before the version is ready.
I also think that that readers without English as their first language might have difficulty in reading the OP. lol.
lol!
I didnt want to be as blunt as that
Any one no what is going on with Samsung and android will XEU customers get any form of Gingerbread?????
latest i heard was no update for SGS .
Fact or Fiction no idea .
Samsung know XDA dont .

very sad to see so many people talking s**t about the note 4.
It might not be a huge difference from note 3 but is definitely a big upgrade from my note 2.
I think everyone expect to have extreme changes in the devices every year and that is not possible anymore.
I think now the upgrade should be every 2 years.

Someone told me that if you get the TMO version it won't have a locked bootloader, and can be usedon ATT. I'm not sure if this is true, but considering going that route.

Verizon :/ I really am getting tired of it from them tbh. I buy the phone, why should they lock the bootloader. (Yes, I know there are reasons, but still) they are not leasing the phone to me, You buy the device and use it on their network.I am paying for a service. That's just how I look at it.

I sure understand that thought. But I also understand the carriers not wanting to warranty phones that we hose trying to mess with them.
It's probably too much effort to position themselves to offer an unlock code for the bootloader, which would cost 'loss of warranty'. If they don't have to warranty them, then why should they care?

probably because so many people lie when they call for warranty service, saying they dont know why their phone suddenly "stopped" working..
Now, what could be done, is to sell an unlocked phone/boot loader, NO WARRANTY AT ALL, and see how many folks buy that model...
Not many I bet..

Can agree on missing things, but then, which OEM even thinks of unique ideas with the stylus and big screens, except for stretching the UI.
At least it can be a worthy upgrade from our trusty note 2

I can't agree more.
Most of the people are like, Exynos is crap or useless, and when asked a question about why, they don't have any answer except for saying that overheats, seriously? My Exynos note 2 never went over 45°C even after 3 hours of asphalt 8. How is their snapdragon? 0°C much?
There is a special thread dedicated to being disappointed by note 4, Because some people just want to act smart and have more threads to their name, like it gonna give them some of the recognized status without giving anything to the community.
I just want to really give a bad mouth to some of the people making those useless thread, but then, courtesy and kindness to everyone, can't really do much about it.
Some of the people aren't even using a Samsung device and come to the forums to just abuse that device.
Well, to all the haters saying bloated Touchwiz, how is your battery backup? Enjoying 3-4 hours SoT with less than a day's usage?

Request Samsung Update Our SIII To Lollipop

Hello everyone, do yoy want samsung update our SIII to Lollipop?
Let request Samsung:
"
Hi Samsung, today i want to reveal something that most Galaxy SIII's user like me has harboured from the bottom of our heart: Please release Lollipop update package for both of us: Galaxy SIII and Galaxy Note II users all around the world. Having used S3 and N2 for a long time( maybe from the day that they were released), we think that our devices still able to run TW Lollipop. Because we know that your news devices-which have a worse hardware can run TW Lollipop. Do you know that we were to excited to see our device-SIII and N2 in your confirmed list containing what to be updated TW Lollipop soon. Then things went disappointedly, SIII and N2 has been removed from that list, which means that it was cancelled. Our belief completely faded away. Do you know our feeling? That look like you have been abandoned after the moment of being happy-just days ago.
It's common of us to think that: "Why Samsung did that?", "Probably their golden flagship has been left behind?" And if this update may affect the performence, why dont you release "manual update" instead of OTA? By doing that, anyone who is aware of slowing down their phone won't be affected. In the second hand, the majority longing for the updates still enjoy it. If after reading my post and you still reject our devices, please tell us why. Or following my ideas and then release it as soon as possible. We're looking forward to hearing good news from you soon.
Again, we're all respect you that has given us wonderful devices, we still love them now
Sincerely
Samsung SIII's users"

Probably Samsung will listen now more&better because of their falling solds. But don't expect any effect for old phones (and for sell-managers S5 is already old).
Maybe create a petition letter in one of those sites specialized for that and we can all sign it

Haha, i find it funny. Samsung is never going to do that, never... They want us to buy a new device to get Lollipop.
However, we have unofficial CM12.1 on our beloved S3 and i think they are doing a more than great job. The S3 is with CM12.1 is as fast as it can be with only 1 GB of Ram and i think after more than 3 years and 3 month we can be happy that we have that amoung of custom Roms out there. But for Samsung, i never think that they will ever release LP for us.
This is going nowhere.
