Wow how many build #'s come out every week...does anybody still believe we're actually going to still see official GB on the 22nd...its looking highly doubtful with all these new RDF pages showing up...(from what I understand with how the process goes)

[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
I know this sucks I wish they would drop official so we can get source already. As long as its not bricking phones figure out the bugs after we get official cuz obviously they are committed to a perfect software this time. Maybe it will be cm7 and that's what's taking them so long. Lol
[Epic 4G General] murso74:
they could drop CM7 straight from sammy and there would be people that would ***** that there's no touchwiz

[Epic 4G General] :
it's not a modem fixing this time it's a whole different build. EH17 had a diff. build number in it which could some mean fixes of the build. But for Eh18, maybe somethings wasn't fitting in with Eh11 that they needed to redo everything to get it right

They just leak the builds that Samsung makes.
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
I think they're trying to cut sone bleeding without taking the massive pr problem they had before.

hmm, people are saying that its grainy, well with the screen issue aside which would you personally go for, development wise? cm7 ? ;D
[Epic 4G General] Wizard Knight:
I know this isn't directed towards me, but I'm bored so here's my 2 cents...

Everybody I've talked to with either the photon or the EVO3D gives tons of pros and cons... if I weren't a rooter, I say photon, but HTC has always had the biggest development communities, so for that reason alone I'd go with the 3d.

personally... if my epic broke right now... I'd go with another epic. I'm so super happy with this phone that I have no intentions of moving until I get an SGS2
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Photon is progressing slower then evo 3D because people were scared they wouldn't be able to unlock the bootloader. Well it was accomplished in 2 weeks. Development is moving faster for the photon than any other device. Custom rom and kernel, no because there is no source yet and not a lot of developers have jumped on board.
[Epic 4G General] kwazytazz:
thanks for the input guys, i got a get out of jail free card with sprint on my 7 lines due to the increase in admin fee, so ill port my 7 lines to google voice then reopen my lines as a new customer to get that new customer pricing ;D 100 bux for a photon on letstalk.com ;D!

i think im leaning more towards the photon, because im not too fond of 3d stuff and their camera in the past hasnt been all to great(mogul, tp1,tp2). anddd the photon has a sim card!!

isnt' our display also a pentile display? i'll notice the jaggies sometimes, especially on text (well really only on text) but its not really that noticable
[Epic 4G General] Fatonuseni:
They are dropping the price because new phones are being announced soon so they're trying to move old stock. Also, isn't the epic due for eol soon? I think the epic touch is dropping on aug 29th!
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
Nah, that's 11 days from now. They should at least give us a two week notice prior to release.
[Epic 4G General] Fatonuseni:
I think that Samsung might just announce it aug 29th, the ship phones in sept. What do you think?
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
If you honestly ask me, I'm going to predict Sept 11th as the release date.
[Epic 4G General] Fatonuseni:
I don't think anyone will touch that date!
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
Then Sept 18th.

they are raising the administrative fees from 99 cents to 1.50 and according to your contract that you signed, if there is material change to the contract, you can have you etf fee waived within 30 days from 9/9
[Epic 4G General] hayzooos:
I'd ballpark in the $599 range without a contract. I'm hoping $199 on contract, as Sprint doesn't usually go above that, but I could see the SGS2 and the next Nexus possibly being $249.

I've heard otherwise...

Anyways, here is an update

Epic is going EOL, but not soon. HTC EVO white is already EOL and the original will be going EOL September 9th.

Sprint is trying to clear inventory of all their soon to be EOL devices though. Namely, EVO, Epic, Nexus, and Echo. Shift is still current and not going anywhere.

The Epic looks like the update will be the dying breath of the Epic. Expect it around October, not September at all. I would put my date say..the 24th? Maybe total guess, but I can lock in an October release.

And in other news, I am the first person to S-OFF HBOOT 1.5000 for the EVO 3D!!!

Proof in my last twitter status or in the EVO 3D dev forums :)

Quick question: are you referring to gingerbread updatein october or te galaxy s2 in october?
[Epic 4G General] OrygunGal:
Samfirmware did not release a pre-rooted leak. It's just that their release of the leak was not posted on xda but it was posted elsewhere. The pre-rooted ROMs posted here would have originated from that. I did a google search and found their release which was a password protected zip that included a stock tar and odin. I'm fairly new to this but that's how I've been seeing their releases. Hope this is helpful.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Gingerbread. Galaxy S 2 is coming next month with Exynos processor.
[Epic 4G General] viper786:

Hopefully, people still decide to work on EC05 a bit considering we won't get GB until October if this info is correct. Although, I don't know what else can really be done to improve EC05 a whole lot more.

Since I'm planning on getting the next Nexus, it looks like I may only experience GB on the Epic for a grand total of about a week. That makes me sad :(

This just doesn't add up. Why have a flurry of new builds with general agreement that we're almost there and then not release for a month or two.

I just have this feeling that somehow communications got crossed up.

Just a hunch.
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
I think sammy is just taking their time with it, fixing one bug at a time. Having builds everyday gives them something to fall back in in case they mess up the next day.

Posted by Mr. Z's Epic 4G.
[Epic 4G General] Caraes_Naur:
That's a pathetic excuse from a developer standpoint, and implies that they aren't using any kind of source code management, which nowadays would be laughable.

More like the Epic GB update has fallen down their priority list, but I have a hard time believing we have to wait until October.

[RUMOR] - Samsung Roadmap Leaked

Possible Nexus Prime maybe not until December?
[Epic 4G General] swear0730:
Agreed.

It seems to me in large part we are not dealing with rumors but with pure speculation. I know that Korey has stated he has an insider to talk to so I listen to what he says but take it as passing along rumor or speculation.

Anybody who is not a Sprint or Samsung developer or has not specifically talked to one of them is just engaging in pure speculation. Not useful at all.

But also to answer someone earlier SGS2 still slated to launch either 9/9 or 9/11. The announcement is coming August 29th! :)

[Epic 4G General] :
I kinda haae a understanding of why it's taking samsung awhile to give us GB.

From http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-D700/ED12.rdf to http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-D700/EE03.rdf were just the basic GB 2.3.

Then came along http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-D700/EF02.rdf & http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-D700/EF10.rdf. Samsung went a step up from the basic GB to a little more updated GB 2.3.3.

And now from http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-D700/EG22.rdf to http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-D700/EH18.rdf it's been the latest GB 2.3.4.

They have been trying to please us by giving us the latest GB.

Whosdaman June Gb release theory started around build 2.3(EE03), it changed because samsung jumped to 2.3.3(EF02/EF10). Then that's when he made a speculation that we might get GB in july because of 2.3.3's arrival.

Samsung made another jump to 2.3.4 with builds EG22 through EH18. With 2.3.4 that's when the august release date came about with EG22. Now since they've came to stand still with which GB they want to use they're trying to improve/complete it the best way possible. That's why we're having so many builds during this month because they're finishing things up.

An October release seems a little too far fetch, September is when we should see Gb. Unless they're stepping up to 2.3.5. If so we will get GB in Oct/Dec.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
I have no word from my source on the October thing, it is just a highly educated guess.
[Epic 4G General] hayzooos:
ICS isn't supposed to have any buttons on it, so the whole screen will be, well, screen. Like the capacitive buttons (or whatever they're called) won't be there anymore, so the whole thing will be all screen. I don't think the physical phone will be too much bigger, it'll just be more screen within a similar sized package.

@Korey - I'm probably going to get the next Nexus as soon as it comes out. I'm right outside Chicago, so if I go through you, what kind of timeframe are we looking at?

I know Sprint gave Premiere members early access to the Photon, so I'm hoping they do the same for the SGS2 and/or Nexus.
[Epic 4G General] OrygunGal:
I thought su was what provided root so, if that's the case, the leak wouldn't be pre-rooted if you have to install su after you odin. I'm not trying to start an argument, just going by what I have learned and my own logic for what it's worth. I was going by qbking77 vids. I would have thought if adding superuser to the stock release were as easy as installing through the market, his videos would reflect that. Instead, he has you odin the leaked tar, odin CWM, and flash su through CWM. If I remember, I'll try your way on the next leak to see if it works. Couldn't hurt...
[Epic 4G General] steviee7:
it is big but since there is no home/back/search/menu buttons on the screen it will probably look size wise like the evo
[Epic 4G General] steviee7:
meant to quote instead of thank... anyway theres no indication if sprint will get it, and if it does it will probably be later... in the road map theres nothing about a sprint version, usually sprint phones have sph something in front of it
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
Well, you're learning smething new :).

SU doesn't provide root access, it just exploits it, and gives other apps access to root. Its necessary to run root only apps. Its confusing because everything we have gives it all to us at once.

Posted by Mr. Z's Epic 4G.
[Epic 4G General] hayzooos:
I'll take the thanks regardless ;). It's anyone's guess when Sprint will get it, but I would find it really hard to believe they wouldn't. There isn't anything about any carrier-specific releases in that roadmap, not that I saw anyway. I think they're just giving out model numbers, not necessarily which carrier will get which specific model.

And who knows if Samsung would even put the Nexus on a roadmap anyway, and if they did...it's all just rumor for now anyway, who knows if it's even legit.

I'm betting on a Nexus release right around Thanksgiving at the latest, not in December. Why...not sure, just based on everything I've read, October seems to be the one with most 'record'.

Either way, I'm not jumping on the SGS2 until I know for certain Sprint is getting the Nexus, and when.
[Epic 4G General] Wishkah420:
I would rather buy from you than the jerks at my local sprint store, however lately I've been going to radio shack to get the instant rebate instead of the mail-in. The mail in rebate took months to get when I first signed on. I have partial upgrade eligibility sometime in september and I plan on getting a manual override to a full, if you can give me the instant rebate the commission is yours. ;-)
