Won't EF02 still have all sorts of diagnostic **** enabled since we are fairly certain its not a release candidate?

I ask because I have a feeling it greatly reduced performance having all of that crap running in the background.

[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Until it is in the Sprint release Playbook I have no expectations on a date seeing the issues still in the leaks. But since the Conquer is supposed to be released on July 24th with GB, I would expect it to be perfected by then.
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
The Conquer?

Sent from my Epic 4G, awaiting official gingerbread
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Yeah, it is the Epic Lite. Cheaper materials, less MP on camera, but shipping with Gingerbread on July 24th. Will be about $100 or less with 2 yr contract.
[Epic 4G General] dieselg5:
Cheaper than 100% plastic?
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Did you ever feel the difference between the EVO and EVO shift? Like that. I know I have dropped my Epic on concrete and Tile and nothing more than light scratches. I don't think the cheaper Conquer will handle that.
[Epic 4G General] hmiem81:
Epic is to Conquer as Moment is to Transform...In other words less specs in certain areas for cheaper and probably hardware bugs ironed out. IMHO.
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
So, its the D600? I didn't know it had been given a name yet.

Sent from my Epic 4G, awaiting official gingerbread
[Epic 4G General] XxLostSoulxX:
The transform was the baby epic the intercept was the baby to the moment haha

You have it wrong, and this conquer will most likely handle performance but not durability.
[Epic 4G General] hmiem81:
Actually, the Intercept was thought to be the Moment's successor but then turned out to be a horrible downgrade (only sharing its processor and camera really). The Transform turned out to be internally quite similar to the Moment even though it looked like the Epic in style.
[Epic 4G General] XxLostSoulxX:
Yes i get what your saying but the transform even by Samsung they said that was a downgrade from the Epic. And yes the intercept was supposed to be 2nd gen moment but is sh*t. And not to mention that the intercept was given froyo but then taken off lol so those guys who downloaded it got it and those who saw it said android 2.2 on sprints website. a few days later they changed it back to 2.1 WOW
[Epic 4G General] Shoulon:
So would rumor's say if Tomorrow is actually our day of gingerbread glory? (imo id say it'll prolly be around July 1st and manual updates on june 27th)

I'm asking since I haven't been browsing our epic forums much recently since everything soo extremely chaotic around here.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
It's not in the Sprint release Playbook yet. have to wait until Wednesday night to see if it will be next week. There haven't been working manual updates on the Epic, ever. They only work after OTA starts.
[Epic 4G General] bkolodny:
Is it in this weeks playbook?

Is it in this weeks playbook?
[Epic 4G General] Shoulon:
Nope. =/

[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
It will probably coincide with the release of the Conquer D600 with 2.3 on July 24th so they can make tons of sales. Plus it seems there are still bugs to be worked out. It would be nice to get a full EF16 tar and see if things are fixed.
[Epic 4G General] omair2005:
something tells me we'll have another leak on july 4th weekend.. i have no source! just going off of what samfirmware has tweeted.
[Epic 4G General] NEXUS 4G:
Just left the Sprint store. One of the techs said my problem should be resolved with the update coming out next week... Than would not explain.
[Epic 4G General] northvibe:
I think the tech meant next year. The lack of updates for the prime samsung phone line is a disgrace. I will never purchase a samsung phone ever again. HTC and MOTO now they are on top of things.
[Epic 4G General] vita10gy:
Everyone thinks their phone isn't given the love it deserves and every other phone is getting showered in instant updates. Many a person vowed never to buy HTC again during the Hero "debacle".

They don't owe us gingerbread, they barely owed us Froyo, and even that was only cause a lot of the people were told before buying it that it would be upgraded.

Every phone, every upgrade, every carrier, has taken way longer than their owners expected/hoped.
[Epic 4G General] NEXUS 4G:
I wouldn't say so... Dk28 held me down for a while... Than eb13 was good, and I hear ee03 was good but I went with ef02... The way I see it is if I really want something I go out and get it.... They leak out so the power user can get at it...by that time scale we get updates every 3-4 months, which is awesome in my eyes...

Besides I like the fact that I can't perma-brick my phone... I hear htc's don't have that privilege
[Epic 4G General] ac16313:
This actually is what will hold me down until official gb comes out, EF02, its really stable and seems to have all the bugs from EE03 fixed up.

I'm always up for leaks knowing I can't perma-brick my phone too easily.

Plus jut like nexus said we get a leak pretty often, those on my part count as updates since I try them out anyway.

Sent from my SPH-D700
[Epic 4G General] nutswillkillme:
We definitely caught up quick. Almost ahead of the game now. We may not have the strongest dev community on xda but we are getting some nice updates lately and that helps a ton. There are still a lot of phones out with froyo. Everyone was dissing Samsung for a bit but now that are having their phones unlocked and dev friendly, putting out some nice updates. I'm liking them more and more.
[Epic 4G General] vita10gy:
I wish these weren't leaks. I really think everyone would be happier if they semi officially dropped these as beta builds. The uber nerds could get their updates, the problems would be quickly found, and everyone would wind up with better results much quicker.

They take so long trying to make a perfect build, and there's just plain no such thing. No matter how careful you are there are going to be 50 scenarios you could have never conceived that happen to at least 1 person within an hour of release.

Then, since it took forever, people aren't at all forgiving about them.

Release early and often, and be upfront about the likely problems. This forum is full of people who install the very first version of roms that have the newest android version, when data, accelerometers, cameras, etc aren't even functional.
[Epic 4G General] xopher.hunter:
Personally I have loved samsung since the blackjack 2, the only underpowered phone I had was the moment (what a pos cpu) and I remember specifically the upgrade to winmo6.1 on bj2 and then to winmo6.5 on my newer "jack", they have always gone at least one update on every smartphone I bought from them. Now they are spitting out as many updates as the hardware can permit which I think is awesome since they really have no financial incentive to do so.

I forgot to get back to you, sorry, but this is what I've heard, "They are trying to iron out the problems in the modem, this is the big delay, but its not the only thing being finished." This tells me everything but the modem was ready, and all else is being finalized while they get the modem 100%.

[Epic 4G General] MikeyLee:
What's the big problem with the modem here? I'm on EF02/EF10 and my phone has absolutely zero problems what so ever. Some people have issues, some dont. Do they not realize that for some reason these phones do not all work 100% the same? I mean I just went and bought my father an Epic on Sunday. Shipped with 2.2 (mine had 2.1 when I got it) and his imediately force closed the gmail app after creating his account and syncing data. That's brand new out of the box. To me it seems like Samsung is very low on the totem pole when it coes to development.
[Epic 4G General] Mutiny32:
I'm guessing they delayed it because they thought they could work around the problems that were fixed for the Nexus S in 2.3.4 while using 2.3.3 like the phone randomly rebooting and the radio icons staying on (I've actually had both EvDO mode and WiMAX mode get stuck on at the same time, the bastard got WARM).

I also noticed that in EF16, they updated the CORE utils to 2.3 instead of keeping them at 2.1. AND, they didn't have video calling enabled via google talk. Basically it sounded like EF02/EF10 were just getting 2.3.3 running properly on the device and then if the issues that were fixed in 2.3.4 were still affecting the phone, they would move up to that code, which they did in EF16.

Also, EF02/EF10 actually DID include a new WiMAX baseband version unlike what I had said earlier; one from March of this year, most likely from the Nexus S 4G.
[Epic 4G General] sauron0101:
Assuming that this is correct then, how long before they begin rolling out the physical update? Presumably, Samsung will also release the source code around that time. Lets just hope that there aren't anymore bugs.

Awesome, I'll be out of the country from the 6th-21st :( Not that I won't flash it on the 15th anyways :P but still. Hopefully we'll see some movement on cm7 by then. Sounds like the gs2 is only a 'mic in call' working away from a cm7 release (based on a post I saw anyways). Kinda considering doing the "dumb phone" trick to get unlimited data on att just to have the international version of a phone for a change (for the community support). Love to keep sprint but really, especially with cyanogenmod development is just so much more than cdma. You guys are great by all means, same to our devs, but software support has quickly become priority #1 for me... decisions decisions. Although if we get cm7 on the epic I'd be glad to ride that for a while!

[Epic 4G General] dmbatson:
i actually just took the evo 3d back after 4 days. i could NOT stand the screen and felt the 3d was a gimmick.

went back to the epic on the ef02 leak

if we get gingerbread soon and a source code for it ill be one happy dude.

OR if sprint gets a good phone with keyboard and samsungs AMOLED screen with a dual core (but ill keep dreaming)
[Epic 4G General] sauron0101:
Hardware-wise, I think that Samsung has HTC beat - bigtime. I don't know what the Evo 3D is like as I haven't see it, but the Epic's lower resolution pentile screen is better than the Sensation's LCD.

When it comes time to, I'm definitely going to replace this phone with Samsung's then-flagship, or one of the North American variants anyways.

On the current Galaxy S2, the only thing worse appears to be the audio quality. The Wolfsson dac is better than the Yamaha. I also like having a camera button. Then again, the S2 is like 10 steps forward and 1 step back.

+1 for the keyboard, but I don't think we'll be lucky. I definitely prefer having a hard keyboard; can you imagine typing a post this long on a virtual keyboard?
[Epic 4G General] Marlinsfan88:
and thats why i wont buy the within. i type texts and emails that long and longer everyday on my phone and no matter how accurate it might be it would drive me crazy typing on a screen. the epic 2 is gonna be a joke so ill wait for the folloing year. maybe sammy will bless us with G3 WITH slide out qwerty? that would be nice =D
[Epic 4G General] slybarman:

[Epic 4G General] bkolodny:
I think it has to do with what makes the Epic so much greater than whatever else is coming out, the keyboard. Just all it's lacking is the latest update, but once it has that, it'll be the best phone for all of us needing a keyboard.
[Epic 4G General] squshy 7:
Sadly, no update is mentioned in the playbook today :(

Oh, and can I get a +1 for some of the 3Ds shipping with crooked screens? :D
[Epic 4G General] D`Nyed:
+1, while doing an exchange of my Epic at my local Sprint store I was playing with the display model of the Evo 3D and saw the screen was crooked. I figured it was just an abused display model though.

Regardless, after a few brief minutes of playing with the Evo 3D and I was happy to get my Epic back in my hands! Wow I love our display!

Incidentally, I thought it was pretty cool when I mentioned rooting my phone that the associate swapping out my phone mentioned there was a good leak of Gingerbread on XDA! I already knew that DUH! but still cool regardless
[Epic 4G General] compuw22c:
LOL, I'm more interested in the fact that HTC still hasn't made good on their bootloader promise, and no root :P Looks like I made the right choice to wait for the gsII (although I'm hoping they get their act together with their screen issues, yellow tint and suction cup marks)
[Epic 4G General] Wizard Knight:
Not trying to troll so I'll make this quick. The bootloader promise came after the evo 3d was already in production. It applies to all future handsets

I have no proof of any of those dates, pure speculation and hope on my part.
