I got a question about sprints new network. I know they're rolling out 1900mhz first. Then where do 1600 and 800 come in. And when does iden officially die
[Epic 4G General] shane6374:
iden dies in 2013. Rip

I hope they put the network on the 800 mhz channel. It would be nice to not have such a huge signal degrade by just walking indoors.

[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
I think they will eventually after 1900mhz, but when? Before or after 1600?
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
Hehehe, I wasn't alone in thinking that joke.
[Epic 4G General] shane6374:
Isn't the 1600mhz bandwidth what they're building the lte network on? If that's correct then the timing would be close to the same since they're talking about lte deployment in2013.

Just pushes back my tablet plans a bit.

though I think its a good idea to push back the announcement, I don't think they can wait more than a week or 2. Fact is that apple is still a competitor and you can't give them much a a head start.

You should google "Sprint Network Vision" As I understand it they are planning to use the various parts of the spectrum like concentric circles of coverage, with 1900 mHz handling calls close in and and 800 mhz handling fringe coverage, leveraging the strengths of each band.

[Epic 4G General] rygran87:
As vigilant as you and others have been so far, I kinda doubt one was missed. Hopefully this means it's close to OTA. The Stratosphere releases Thurs. right? So, murso may still be wrong. At least I hope so.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
I would have thought we would have gotten it around the time of Epic Jr. release, the Conquer. But that didn't happen. Maybe there is an OTA glitch they can't get right
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
I really hope they don't update it. Just keep it how it is and give us source.
[Epic 4G General] ac16313:
Conquer has a different processor though
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
I thought all was the same as the Epic except no keyboard. Ff camera and cheaper back camera...my bad.

[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
But u said they'd have an rdf that day.
[Epic 4G General] rygran87:
This. You aren't making sense... Same thing as EI22 just renamed EJ22?
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
So that would put it into November for release.
[Epic 4G General] murso74:
Omg people he was making a joke
[Epic 4G General] hayzooos:
No, I think what he was saying was to expect another RDF and the release date would be Oct 22, he just tried to shorthand it. But, if people have been diligent about checking RDFs then that date wouldn't really make sense considering any new RDF (even through a few days ago) would put us past that date.

I think the time for speculation on this needs to come to an end. We've been at it for what, 4 months now? If someone takes enough guesses, they'll be right eventually. My guess as to the release date: As soon as the first person pops up on here saying, "I got an OTA update!!!"
[Epic 4G General] omair2005:
it would make sense.. a week after statosphere release..
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
The thing wrong with that thought is Stratusphere is Verizon and not Sprint. If it can't work through the Sprint OTA process properly then it won't be released until it does. Also there are no guaranties that Verizon is not rushing it out with bugs just to get the sales started. The Thunderbolt had a ton of bugs plus random reboots.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
I don't get this date, because all the other OTAs started on a Monday and the 22nd is a Friday. Why would you release at the end of the week, with their senior tech crew off for the weekend unable to deal with potentially bricked phones. More likely we would see it begin to roll out on the 17th or 24th with a few days notice in the playbook, just like the other releases.

[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
Lol i love seeing you fools stuck on an rdf.

Its obviously not being released yet. Wasnt dk28 the last froyo leak until eb13 finally became official? i dont remember, but if it was, you can put it in relative terms and say theres going to be a while for official since (and if) eh17 was the last "leak"

if theres more leaks after eh17 then that just means more months (re:not weeks or days) until official gb.
[Epic 4G General] omair2005:
statosphere = SCH-I405

https://opensource.samsung.com/

kernel source should be out tmrw.
[Epic 4G General] dr_gibberish:
I think you're not correct with this though. First, an rdf is not the same as a leak. There were lots of Froyo rdfs between the DK28 leak and the final release. Just no leaks. Also, samfirmware.com has changed things a lot by putting out regular leaks. (I cant help but think this is covertly ok with Samsung, who could easily shut them down if they chose to.)

In general however, there seems to be about a two week gap between the last rdf and the final release. This is also the first time we have gone more than two weeks between rdfs since the initial Gingerbread leak. Barring major bugs I'm betting we see the release in the next couple weeks. Of course, no one can ever rule out bugs...

Another post in the Epic 4G section brought this to my attention. If you search for Desk Home Samsung you will find two versions for the epic, one for Froyo and one for Gingerbread (both by Samsung). The Gingerbread one was up on the 8th. Unless Samsung supports rooted phones this means gb is done and Sprint is holding the update for some reason. Or they could just want the gb version up ahead of time. Either way it seems the last build is it or at least really really close. Just my 2 cents.

So, what would be a logical explanation of why Sprint wouldn't release the update if it's ready? I mean, it's not like to prevent us from buying a new phone, GB is going to be outdated the second we get it, literally. It just doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense to hold it back from a carrier perspective.
[Epic 4G General] ac16313:
It actually could to make us buy newer phones. Or maybe issues with OTA or other things.
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
I bet we get it within 3 weeks.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:

How many jumped to the Epic Touch? And there has to be a reason why all other upgrades to GB were not OTA. Sprint always seems to have issues with OTA you would think the would learn.
[Epic 4G General] AproSamurai:
Get us to buy new phones. Think about how many people have switched to the Nexus S 4G, Epic Touch 4G, EVO 4G, EVO 3D, Photon 4G(?idk), while we've been waiting for Gingerbread. Their tactic is working, but I've found a tactic which makes me invulnerable to their tactics. It's cold the Broke Person Contingency, I was lucky enough to get this Smart Phone I'm going to get my full use of it until I'm able to upgrade.

Totally agree.

The idea that Sam/Sprint is withholding Gingerbread to get people to buy new phones is just ludicrous. The 1% of us that are geeky enough to care are going to buy phones every 6 months anyway, the rest of the users just want an easy way to text and call.
