One of the biggest distributors for samsung told me today that ALL samsung galaxy player models are EOL
At first I thought it was only the 3.6, but now they told me that ALL galaxy players are EOL
Galaxy Player 3.6 or Galaxy S WiFi 3.6 (YP-GS1)
Galaxy Player 4.0 or Galaxy S WiFi 4.0 (YP-G1)
Galaxy Player 4.2 or Galaxy S WiFi 4.2 (YP-GI1)
Galaxy Player 5.0 or Galaxy S WiFi 5.0 (YP-G70)
Galaxy Player 5.8 (YP-GP1)
damn you samsung, damn you!
Don't believe me? Call best buy and ask if they have any of these units anymore.

when they run out of stock they will not be getting more if they buy direct from one of samsung's 10 distributors.
I don't know what EOL means but I assume it is a device that isn't being sold. Anyway in the UK it is sold new and secondhand.

Amazon UK still stocks them.
I bought my SGP 4.0 with a warranty from BestBuy. What will happen if it is EOL?
It just means that samsung stopped making them. It does not mean that warranties become invalid or that the existing stock suddenly disappeared. I'm sure plenty of people are selling them, but those people are not Samsung or direct Samsung distributors.
Looks like 'everyone' is getting out of the bespoke portable music device business in favour of using your phone....bit of a shame whilst battery life is so poor if used for music, calls, etc....
I'd hate to think what battery life I'd get if I tried to use my S3 for phone calls, wifi, GPS and music playback.....?
EOL = End Of Life
The more causal term is sun-setted as in 'it's being sun- setted'

A co-worker of mine is interested in a wifi-only Android handheld... something he can buy anywhere, without a data plan... but not a tablet. Something the size of a phone... like a 4" screen. There used to be a wifi-only Galaxy S... is there such a thing for the S2?
Ideally:
- Android
- OLED screen
- 4" (5" might be ok, but no bigger)
- Good GPS
If not Samsung... any recommendations for a comparable device?

Thanks... the Galaxy 4 though was the wifi-only version of the Galaxy S, which has horrible GPS issues. Due to excellent GPS needing to be a feature, that eliminates the Galaxy 4 and Galaxy 5, unfortunately.

Certainly a technical option, but at $550, not a practical one.
I'm sure I've seen wi-fi only option on s2 but can't seem to find it now. Can anyone confirm this pleas
e?
never heard this kind of model before.
There isn't a wifi only model of the S2. The closest thing in this case is either the Galaxy S series already mentioned, or a wifi only tablet.
I get the impression that Samsung are giving up on the wifi only phones now. I assume they've never done that well.
Right then guys, I am going to buy a new phone in the next week in the UK, problem is im stuck for choice. Ive always had HTC (desire, Sensation) as I am a fan of Sense so was convinced to go for the Sensation XL (mainly for the beats headphones).
Im looking between XL and SG Nexus S (as it has the new ICS 4.0). for the last few weeks I have been using an ICS themed sense 3.5 rom and I know the dev is very close on the sensation for the port of 4.0 so I dont know what to do......
Any suggestions?? or would any recommend another phone completely??
Cheers guys
Samsung Galaxy S 3 (HTC Edge & Galaxy Nexus killer )
Samsung Galaxy S II (costs here in Germany only 400€ and the ICS-Update comes truly) - Or you wait for the Galaxy S III
galaxy ace! cheap, good looking, fine performance!
i think the samsung galaxy nexus is a good choice because of the performance(battery too) and the screen. i like the superamoled screen because of the brilliance. the only problem for me is the plastic cover
Yeahh GALAXY S3
Galaxy 3/Next Nexus

When is the galaxy S3 released? My GF has the S2 and the camera is amazing.
Most replies here are around Samsung and Ive always had HTC................... aaaaaaaaaaaaargh decisions lol!!!!
I am sorry if this is in the wrong forum but there doesn't seem to be Galaxy S wifi 3.6 sub forum here.
I originally thought I had bought a defect Samsung Galaxy S wifi 3.6 (YP-GS1) but I received a replacement today after complaining about a problem with the volume. However I am still having this volume problem on my new replacement Galaxy S wifi 3.6
The problem is that when adjusting the volume while palying music from level 16 to the full maximum of 30 there is no (if only slight) increase in volume. However when the track is paused and played again the full volume is loud. I have sent an email to Samsung about this matter and warn anyone who were thinking of purchacing the Samsung Galaxy S wifi 3.6 (YP-GS1) to reconsider and buy either the wifi 4.0 or wifi 5.0 instead.
I don't know whether to get a refund or wait in the hope that there will be a firmware update to correct this problem.
REFUND!!! Get the Galaxy Player 5.0 It is awesome!!!
I'm planning to buy/upgrade to a new android phone but I don't know what phone to choose. I'm wondering what's the best android phone out right now for Sprint?
I think Samsung I9100 is The best choice
Yup.. Galaxy S 2 all day!
You should wait for the HTC One X at least.. it'll be out soon
What is your budget
Well what are you looking for in a phone, the latest?, the biggest? etc
If you're on a thight budget maybe a older Samsung Galaxy S1 will fill your needs escpecially with a 4.0.3 rom from this forum on it.
I'd go with the samsung galaxy s2 personnally.
Definitely the better well-rounded high-end phone, imho.
I think HTC ONE X is best android phone

The HTC one X, only annoyance is the lcd screen.
Has to be HTC one X, Samsung Nexus or Galaxy S2 (or S3 when its out).
Or if you dont mind the size, how about the Samung Galaxy Note??
All good phones, plenty of happy users here and plenty of support as well!!!
Galaxy S2
what about samsung galaxy nexus?
I've owned the HTC Inspire, the Motorola Atrix, the Samsung Galaxy S II, the Galaxy Note, and now the Galaxy Nexus, all of which I've rooted and used for extended periods of time, and I've gotta say that of all the phones I've owned, the Galaxy Nexus is my favorite. Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwich is deliciously smooth D) and, though I absolutely loved my Galaxy Note's huge screen and S Pen, the 4.65" screen is still plenty big and offers a great media experience, and it's nice that you can customize the three on-screen softkeys and even add more if the new layout's not your thing. The camera's not quite up to par with the S II and the Note, but it still produces good-looking video and stills. I honestly can't make the Nexus lag no matter how hard I try, which says a lot for a six-month-old phone when compared to the brand new HTC One X that still lags and stutters despite its quad-core processor and all-around superior specs (though that's at the fault of the always increasingly bloated Sense UI, not the hardware). I'm sure that can be remedied on the One X with custom ROMs and better optimization, but if you're looking for flawless performance out of the box, the Nexus is what I'd recommend. Couple that with Sprint's new LTE network and you'll have yourself quite the badass phone. Honestly though, between the Galaxy S II, the Galaxy Nexus, and the EVO 4G LTE (One X), you really can't go wrong. None of them are by any means bad phones, so just go to a Sprint store, spend 5 or 10 minutes with each of them, and take your pick, and revel in the fact that if you're not happy with your choice in 30 days it's not too late to swap it out!
I made some suggestions to another fellow who had a similar question

Galaxy Player 4.2 is coming to USA very soon; May 15th I believe.
In a reveal that comes alongside the just-released Samsung Galaxy Player 3.6, here comes the Samsung Galaxy Player 4.2 with no monthly data fees, Gingerbread, and connections galore to the other devices you’ve got on hand. This device comes to the USA with a lovely low $199.99 price tag – this compared to the full price of the rest of the Galaxy S devices comparable to this one (complete with mobile data and monthly fees) being downright reasonable. What you’ve got here is Samsung’s baby running an experience relatively close to what we’ve seen on Galaxy S II devices for software, Galaxy S devices for hardware, and more Bluetooth functionality than you’ll be able to handle.

$199.99 sounds like a reasonable pricing.
I wonder what the specs are. Are they going to give it dual core like the new Galaxy Player 70 plus has? I hope they provide more internal memory this time.
Does this also mean we will being seeing a Galaxy Player 5.2 to the USA also since the GP70 Plus is for Korea only.
I'm in the market for a PMP but depending what spec the SGS3 is, I might or might not need to buy a seperate PMP.

I'm satisfied with my 5.0. There's a 3.6, 4.0, now 4.2, and a 5.0?? What next? xD
I'm waiting for this to hit Stateside.

Yeah, I'm waiting for the much anticipated galaxy player 4.1, but might also get a 4.3 or 4.4 when they are released
Samsung's life goal: have a media player with every screen size varying by a 10th an inch! (Is 4.2 really that much better than a 4.0 inch??)

I agree. The specs are almost no different at all other than the small screen size change. All samsung is doing is screwing up development for these devices. Just when the 5.0 and 4.0 were getting some developing going, samsung comes in with a 3.6 and a 4.2, which give more options to buyers, and less chance for more devs for our devices

Might take a while but you can order the Korean version from here

I've been doing a lot of research & can't make up my mind if I should get or not. But, I'm starting to lean in getting it. I was hoping to find more people that do own it to give me some feedback before making up my mind.

This is what I don't understand from Samsung. If their #1 enemy is Apple then at least release models that compete against their iPod series.
great it's beautiful

That's one sexy beast, but priced a liitle too high. Maybe $299.
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII EPIC 4g Touch with a bite of VeNum on XDA Premium!
I would pay maximum $350 because it's 32gb and dual core.
But the 16gb version is $365.82
such a great product
