THAT is your example?? ONE post on that moeny grubbing "Askmefast" site that Google has been putting at the top because they paid for it? There aren't even any responses to the question other than one reply by "Anonymous". With all due respect - weak, uber weak.
Rev.
I hope anyone who is interested visits the site you referenced. If this is your proof that the issue is wide spread then you don't know the meaning of wide spread. Can you provide a source that list a multitude of users who are having this problem. And how about something more than "I asked Samsung? Your questionable phone from hell and your role as a sycophant for the HTC One X make me doubt your word.
One quick link is all the time it deserves. Anyone can look through forums and find it themselves if they feel the need.
As for talking to Samsung, that's what I do for a living. I won't divulge anything more than this is a known (to Samsung) issue with the settings.db because the tables have been re-arranged to make room for TouchWiz specific settings. It's been present since the original Galaxy S, and is proving very difficult to track down as it doesn't happen every time.
Accept my word, use Google, or pretend it doesn't exist. Doesn't matter to me either way. I guess I could put that on a blog post and make it official, but why bother? It doesn't help the people affected, won't help Samsung fix it, and just garners more hatred to an important Android partner.
One thing not being taken into account, is that I tend to favor Samsung devices over all others. The last couple phones I paid money for were Samsung phones, and I appreciate their screen technology over the "better" screens from LG, HTC, and ASUS. But again, this isn't a discussion over which phone Jerry likes. If it were, it would be in the Nexus S forums. Because of my line of work, I have to use a more current device. The Galaxy S 3 was not the device for me.
And I never pass up a chance to play with a troll in our forums.
i must say im glad this "arguement" happened. ive learned stuff and talked to my second favourite AC podcaster
(soz jerry, i like alex and all the americans speak over him
)
heh. Holler at me anytime. I'm just a smartphone nerd at heart. All this "official" stuff for a huge Android blog gets overwhelming sometimes.
