[Deal Alert] Official Samsung Infuse 4G Dock (Fits the Galaxy S III Too) On Sale For $5 At AT&T

Posted by Jeremiah Rice in Deals, Galaxy S III, Infuse 4G, News, Samsung

Docks are hard to come by for Android hardware, where very few individual models rise above the pack. But if you're one of 30,000,000 people sporting a Galaxy S III, or one of the considerably smaller number using AT&T's Samsung Infuse 4G, you can pick up an official vehicle mount for a song. Assuming that you can sing a song that's worth five American dollars.

The Infuse 4G dock is currently $29.99 on Amazon, but some wary forum poster over at SlickDeals spotted the same dock at AT&T's online store for just five bucks even. This particular model has been a favorite on XDA for a while, where user "ookba" (who had upgraded from an Infuse 4G to a Galaxy S III) noted that the larger phone fit in the dock just fine, thanks to the gently rounded corners.

Gingerbread (Build UCLB3) For The Samsung Infuse 4G Available Again, Might Actually Work Correctly This Time

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Infuse 4G, News

Last Updated: April 9th, 2012

A little over two months ago, AT&T released Gingerbread for the Samsung Infuse 4G. Turns out that it had some "issues," so the update was yanked, leaving many users with half-functional devices and others update-less.

After taking the update back to the lab and Frankensteining on it for a while, Samsung has now made available the new build (UCLB3 for those who are into knowing that sort of thing) for Infuse 4G owners. Like with most Samsung updates, you'll need a copy of Kies Mini to pull the update. Once you have that, connect your phone, select 'Kies (Firmware Update), and the rest should be easy peasy.

[Update: Link Now Works] Samsung Infuse 4G Gingerbread Update Released, But Someone Forgot To Tell Samsung That

Posted by David Ruddock in AT&T, Gingerbread 2.3, Infuse 4G, News, Samsung

Update: The link to the update is now working. Get on it!

Infuse 4G owners have been chomping at the bit for some Gingerbread love since the device's release in the middle of last year, and it seemed this morning they were finally going to get it. A moderator at the AT&T forums posted up the typical changelog marketing spiel, chocked full of customer benefits and exciting new fonts like 'Choco Cooky' and 'Cool Jazz' (I am not kidding).

Unfortunately, it seems AT&T neglected to inform Samsung that it was update go-time - the link to said update 404s. Whoops. Of course, if you have Samsung Kies installed, you should be able to check for updates using that.

[Updated: Here Is The Winner!] Turkey Day Giveaway #2: Win A Samsung Infuse 4G On AT&T For Answering One Simple Question

Posted by Cameron Summerson in AT&T, Contests / Giveaways, Infuse 4G

Last Updated: November 25th, 2011

A few days ago, we received a mystery package from the good folks at RadioShack. Inside the package were three phones - the Samsung Stratosphere on Verizon, HTC EVO Design 4G on Sprint, and Samsung Infuse 4G on AT&T. Since these phones are ours to do with what we please, we've decided to do what we always do when we end up with extra goodies: give them away.

Since we have three phones to hand out, we're going to make each contest quick and dirty. Each one will last for one day, and one day only.

Before we get into the giveaway details, we want to give a shoutout to the guys at RadioShack.

[Leak] Android 2.3.5 Now Available For The Samsung Infuse 4G And Galaxy S 4G

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Galaxy S 4G, Infuse 4G, News

Owners of the Samsung Galaxy S 4G on T-Mobile or the Samsung Infuse 4G on AT&T have been waiting quite a while to leave Froyo behind and move into the world of Gingerbread. While Sammy and AT&T or T-Mobile have yet to drop the flag on an official OTA for either device, the good folks over at SamFirmware have released leaked versions of Android 2.3.5 for both devices.

Since these are leaked, there's not much of a changelog floating around, nor is there any indication of whether or not this is a final build. What we do know, though, is that these are made to be flashed with ODIN, so if you're not familiar with that process, you should probably do a bit of research first.

AT&T Promises Gingerbread To All Post-Paid 2011 Android Phones

Posted by Cameron Summerson in AT&T, Atrix 4G (Olympus), Captivate, Gingerbread 2.3, Infuse 4G, Inspire 4G (Ace, Stallion), News

It looks like the ATRIX Gingerbread update that started over the weekend is just the start of a line of updates set to hit all AT&T 2011 model post-paid smartphones by the end of this year. Ma Bell is standing on the rooftop shouting out this glorious news for all to hear, along with a list of the phones that will see Android 2.3 sometime this year:

HTC Inspire 4G
LG Phoenix
Motorola ATRIX 4G
Pantech Crossover
Samsung Captivate
Samsung Infuse 4G

Once the ATRIX update is complete, the next device to get some Gingerbread lovin' will be the HTC Inspire 4G, with the update rolling out "in the coming weeks."

Where applicable, the updates will be in delivered OTA (over-the-air) fashion, but in some cases may require PC intervention (because we all know how much manufacturers love their proprietary software).

[Deal Alert] AT&T Samsung Infuse 4G Available For $50 at Target July 17-23

Posted by Matt Demers in Deals, Infuse 4G, News, Samsung

For those of you who've been looking for a nice deal to help beat this summer heat, Target is now offering an Infuse 4G for the low, low price of $50 on a two year contract.

The deal requires you to sign up a new AT&T account for the pricing to take effect, and is available both in their brick-and-mortar stores and online. I'm not sure if this little caveat means that current users of the service will be left out in the cold, or whether they'll just have to renew their contracts.

The promotion is only running from July 17-23, so if you're thinking of taking part, you've got a week.
