I went to sprint today to pay my bill and I asked about gingerbread and the rep said they're still testing and said wewill get it right around the time the evo3D comes out.
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
Oddly, it was update firmware last time, I believe. The other would make more sense.

I'm just happy Sammy saw fit to keep the Epic updated and gave it some gingerbread love. As bad as I want this...NOW! I can wait a few more weeks for them to get it right.

You'll probably have to go back to stock to do an OTA update. Custom roms usually arrive a day or so afterwards.
[Epic 4G General] blu9987:
A joke as in jokes on you, not as in a comedy joke.

Actually i find it funny how many of you really wanted screenshots as proof. Obviously I raised your hope a little too high. Do you really think dk28 would even get an OTA update? Maybe if you guys used a little common sense you wouldn't be so butthurt. I really thought atleast one of you would get it... apparently not

Until your phone is cued on the Sprint OTA sserver you cannot update manually. It will keep saying Lno update available" and that you already have the latest version of Android. Neither of my 2 Epics would manually update until the 4th day of the OTA.
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
I think by "manually updating" we mean odining/manually installing through an update.zip .

Makes sense with the EF10 release. Since releases usually happen the Monday following 2 weeks from code date, that could mark the EF10 release to begin on the 27th.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
IF EF10 is the release candidate.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
Very True. i'm hoping that we don't see another .rdf file show up in the next 2 weeks.
[Epic 4G General] ylcricky:
We will get ota update 9:00a.m.?
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
Let them take some more time and get it right if that's what they need. GB is likely to be the last major update we get, so it's kind of important. I just hope they release the code so it can be used by the brilliant devs here.
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
I disagree, samsung stated that they would continue updating the galaxy s as long as the hardware will permit them to. Since the nexus s is basically a google galaxy s, I see us getting, at worst, one update less then the nexus s gets (when touchwiz becomes a limiting factor). Given that the nexus one is still getting updates I'm guessing that time is in the distant future.

To you doubters who will say that this only applies to the i9000, you may be right, but how long ago was it that no one believed we would get android 2.3? A month or two?

Edit: Wouldn't it be hilarious if we get official ice cream sandwich and the evo/evo shift don't.
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
Sure, I'd like the updates to keep coming, especially for bug fixes. And I didn't think we'd get GB. It's just that the device is nearly a year old and so I find it best to keep expectations low at that point. As someone who runs stock, I am very curious as to whether the new version will feel or perform much different overall.
[Epic 4G General] slybarman:
The problem is that they take forever and still screw it up.
[Epic 4G General] Pete720:
Like I staed in a previous post, I would like to think if my brother-in-law's HTC Hero got 2.31 and now he tells me it updated to 2.32 that the Epic would get 2.3. Intact I'm pretty sure the Hero skipped right over 2.2. I just want my Epic to last as long as possible before having to upgrade. I love this phone. Bring forth the cookie Sprint/Samsung!!

"Gingerbread rom for D700 and I897 tonight online! Europe time."

I hope this is true. :) ...and I hope it's official.
[Epic 4G General] ilostmypistons:
Anyone have info on this
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
This is a site which leaks samsung i9000 firmware. I saw some rumbling in the captivate forums about them leaking roms for the cappy. I wondered if other US devices would get leaked firmware as well. It's cool to see we will be. I guess we are going to get a lot more leaked builds now.

This is awesome!

Just as a referrence for which rom we might get. The Cappy leak was built on june 7 (probably EF07), so we might get our hands on EF10 tonight!!!
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
He is lying. The only thing above 2.1 for the hero is ported ROMs. Check the Hero specs on HTCs page.
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
A new gingerbread leak is supposed to arrive today. Samfirmware said it would arrive tonight (european time). It is 4:43pm in Berlin, Deutschland which means we should see the leak in 6 to 7 hours or less.
[Epic 4G General] castro08:
Is this forsure?

And all they say is European time, anyone know what part of Europe:)
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
Just my opinion, like yours is, but both DI18 and EC05 work smooth and stable, with the exception of a few notable bugs. And I don't think any phone maker (at least for Android) isn't guilty of that. Unless I hear some very bad early reports I'll feel pretty OK with taking the chance and putting the official new ROM on my Epic.

There appears to be a Germanic language of some sort on their twitter page.

[Epic 4G General] Sim2:
dumb question

Ok, this is probably a dumb question at this point but WHY are these incremental updates so difficult to deliver? Why is it not as simple as compiling Google's source code with your (the carrier's) driver code? Do the hardware drivers need major modifications for each new Android release?

On Windows or Linux, once you have a good working driver it does not need to be changed each time the OS is patched or updated. What is different about Android?
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
We would all love such a system but our carriers and manufacturers wouldn't like that. They love to modify core components of the operating sytem breaking portability across similar architectures.

Why do the HTC Evo and HD2 get every rom ported to them within an hour of some firmware being leaked? They have open drivers and unmolested framework. All of the drivers from the roms released originally on the stock evo rom (except wimax) could easily be ported to new roms. Touchwiz breaks our driver portability in a way that make it especially challenging for our devs to port our drivers to Non-Samsung Roms.

TL DR;

Basically, Samsung make the situation similar to trying to port BSD Unix drivers to a Mac by touchwizifying android's core.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
From the limited time I've spent with Linux, lots of modules need to be rebuilt any time there is a kernel change. Every time you change any code you have to go through a full round of tests because you can't completely predict how those changes interact with other parts of the system. You may have noticed that even though Windows and Linux have mature releases they continue to release patches, bug fixes, and security fixes YEARS after they released the operating system. I'm still getting updates on Windows XP and that was released almost 10 years ago.

Warning:

I was just reading the captivate forums. The new firmware does not work with existing oneclick root methods. I remember konane saying sometime back that they had to pre-root ED12 and EE03 before installing it to get super user. It also is supposed to update the bootloader (I don't know what this can affect).

When this is released, be careful.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Silas0220:
One word, genius: Sideloading. AT&T phones can't do it, Gameloft's website requires it, end of story.
[HTC Inspire 4G] suprtrukr425:
I used my stock browser in mobile mode. Go to Google.com search for gameloft. Click the android link under the first result. Find the game you want, and buy then download it. If you do not have sideloading enabled yet, you have to hook the phone to the computer. Go through your sd card under downloads, your game .apk should be there. Now copy it to your computer hard drive, and use sideload wonder machine to install it on the phone. This worked for me, I now have Lets Golf 2, and GT Racing Motor Academy. If you don't have sideload wonder machine, google it. It was very easy to do with full instructions, and worked beautifully.

Comes up in the market for me. The tegra games don't but I think you need the tegra zone deal. If your looking for blocked apps on the market just enable airplane mode, enable WiFi only and search away.. used to work anyway.

Modern combat 2 is a bad ass game, definetly recommend it. I am hooked on that tegra pinball game though, **** is sick. Samurai 2 is fun but tedious to me. Just my. 02
[HTC Inspire 4G] BAleR:
They do now, and sorry if my genius remark came off as sarcastic, dont take it the wrong way, it wasnt ment that way, now have a beer and laugh..... Genius...

I think you guys are too easily offended

But anyway, there are only a few gameloft games through the market, no Nova1/2 or hawx or any good ones
[HTC Inspire 4G] Silas0220:
I'da done that either way :D. Seriously, probably the best way to get the Gameloft games without rooting and having Sideloading enabled is probably the method posted earlier with the sideload wonder machine. That's how I used to get Amazon App Store stuff before I rooted.

That, or root. It's so worth it!
[HTC Inspire 4G] BAleR:
Alright, well thanks for the help, I was really just kinda curious, i was just trying to figure out what it was or if it was what I thought it was. It was just kinda weird that it said it wasnt supported. i guess it was cus of the sideloading thing, But really, thanks for trying, I just like the people that try, and I know there are plenty of them on here. thats why im here:cool:

I agree, I love this case. Most people can't even tell my Evo has a case on it. I've been told many times that I was an idiot for having a "naked" phone. It's great to show these people that the phone is protected and then ask them, "who's the moron now!"

Yeah, for me I am not really worried about dropping the phone. I just wanted something that I can gently toss/ slide on the table and not have to worry about the camera lens scratching.
