Still no Verizon i920 support. Will there ever be? #153

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Download current build
2.Put files on SD card
3.Install Android
4.Kernel panic

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Always hangs on kernel panic. This has been the case for quite some time.
Would like to run android on this phone before I throw it out the window.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Current and all previous builds.

Please provide any additional information below.
I am almost to the point of giving up. I give props to the Dev team for working 
so hard on this project. However, it does not seem that the i920 will ever have 
a working version of Android. I am almost to the point of giving up and tossing 
this piece of garbage out the window. Paid $300+tax for it new(on release day), 
and never did use the phone. Sadly my beat up Omnia1 did a better job than my 
Omnia2. I hope, someday, that I will be able to run Android on this handset.
Thank you devs for your efforts.

If it helps, I was the one that led the charge against Samsung and Verizon 
Wireless on the false advertisement of the Omnia2. I spent countless hours on 
the phone with Samsung's corporate relations group, and the highest ranks of 
the technical support team. The only thing I did not do was speak to the 
software developers themselves. Believe me, I did try, but was shunned like the 
plague.
I also spent hours upon hours on the phone with Verizon Wireless corporate 
office, attempting to get i920 owners some kind of resolution. Verizon refused 
my plea, despite admitting that the specs had indeed been falsified. I have 
saved documentation of where both Verizon and Samsung changed their webpages 
daily when I was applying heat to the situation. Samsung changed the i920 spec 
page 3 times in one week during the time I questioned their specs on this 
phone. Verizon must have been in talks with Samsung, as they changed their page 
also to reflect the "corrected" specs.
I still have the phone numbers to Verizon's Corporate employees that I was 
dealing with, but they like to change their numbers often. I am sure they have 
changed them by now, especially after the long heated debate over this issue.

Anyhow, I am sorry to ramble on. I just thought that I should explain who I am. 
And for the record, I was attempting to get a resolution for ALL Omnia2 owners, 
not just i920 users. I hope that I will be able to run android on this device 
someday as mine is basically brand new since I never used it.

Again, I thank all the devs for their hard work on this project. Please 
continue, and best of luck to you all.
