Introducing the sprint samsung galaxy s 2 epic 4g touch.

I wonder has sprint realised that's a mouthful yet. I laugh everytime the commercial comes on.

[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Yeah, I read that too. I really hope that rumor isn't true.
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
Its says "exclusively" in quotes, so that means to me, that it can be released on other carriers under a different name.

Examples:

DROID Prime, exclusively on Verizon Wireless

Samsung Prime, exclusivley available on T-Mobile

Nexus Prime, exclusively available on Sprint.

Galaxy Prime, exclusively on AT&T.

Somthing like that maybe?

Omg, I will instantly buy this device. I will ensure of that. I don't care if I'm flat broke. I will sell **** to get that thing. What is the one thing iPhone users use against the SGS series? Plastic body. If the SGSIII has metal body, stays 9mm, and is still below 5oz, they can do screw themselves.

At least you won't have to wait for root. This is torture but when you install Kies Air it updates your drivers and it will auto update firmware when it comes. Also gets you all set for Odin.

Nice of Sprint not to block Kies for THAT device. Is there a USB keyboard available for it? I seen one for the DIephone.

Actually I will flash your final Sense theme and then think about going back to Ccyanogen but the lack of 4G is holding me back. If I pay for it and have it available, its hard not to use it. Oh that's right, the $10 is a "smartphone" fee

[Epic 4G General] Wizard Knight:
Quick off topic question...

I keep seeing people day things like "og epic" or "og evo". I'm assuming it means original but the curiosity is killing me.

And I'm asking here because this is the thread I spend the most time in and it seems to be filled with the smartest people :)

[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
They tools me they didn't have anything planned while ago remember? I think they dropped the epic...sadly they won't even help us on the epic touch and we need it badly
[Epic 4G General] hayzooos:
What do you need badly with the Epic Touch? There can't possibly be any sort of leak for a phone that has literally been out for less than a week, is there?
[Epic 4G General] InfDaMarvel:
I'm sure they have ics builds somewhere
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
Some people rooted with a kernel and lost data. I haven't had a problem yet and I have tried 3 kernels. They need stock kernel source
[Epic 4G General] hayzooos:
When you say 'lost data', do you mean as in anything that was previously on there, or the ability to save anything?

If rooting was literally the first thing you did when you got the phone, would this be an issue?

Chances are slim I'll be getting the Epic Touch, but I just want to know some of this stuff ahead of time if possible.
[Epic 4G General] ThrIsNoSpork:
I'm pretty sure he means data connection (3g/1x)
[Epic 4G General] Fatonuseni:
WOW! So they need something Samsung will never give them. It's an epic phone for sure.

Source from the international gsm not useful?!?
[Epic 4G General] hayzooos:
Wow...you can tell I've been thinking about flashing too much.

Hahaha, thanks for the clarification!

And the countdown starts again. Maybe now samfirmware will be able to get us EI09.
[Epic 4G General] Migital Warfare:
They have no real reason to make sure it's perfect prior to release. If you're anxiously awaiting GB for the Epic 4G, you most likely are not in the market for a new phone for a while. By the time you are, there will be some new hardware out for you to drool over and you'll forget all about the minor bugs that they never resolved in the GB release for an outdated phone. Sure, you may remember the long delays between google releases and Sprint/Samsung releases, but they will pale in comparison to all the high end specs they will have.

All they really need to do, in order to keep rooted customers happy, is release the drivers so CM7 and MIUI can be developed. Once those are out, no one will care what bugs were left in, because they can be fixed after release by community devs. Besides, if they gave you a perfect GB ROM, aside from upgrading for the sake of upgrading, what incentive do you have to go out and buy the SGS3 when your contract is up? MOST people don't buy new phones every year, and MOST people (especially in this economy) will hold off on dropping money down on a new phone if their current phone is fine. Samsung would only hurt themselves by taking the time to get everything perfect.
[Epic 4G General] steviee7:
The epic won't see 2.3.5-2.3.7 all those do is nexus fixes the original nexus didn't even get 2.3.5 they got 2.3.6 and ns4g already has 2.3.7 which enables Google wallet.. I just got a little annoyed of people saying "still 2.3.4"

[Epic 4G General] Wizard Knight:
now what happens if they release GB but without the needed source?

All this waiting is the #1 reason I don't have the epic touch yet. I don't want to have the same problems and hold-ups with that phone that I do with this one. Once bitten, twice shy, you know?
[Epic 4G General] gtuansdiamm:
Gb isnt that important you know

If you can map that app that does crt off ani for froyo to power button you have gb
[Epic 4G General] InfDaMarvel:
From a users standpoint maybe?
[Epic 4G General] ugothakd:
Then we still have compliant cm7, just not fully-working cm7. Which will mean that anyone can compile cm7 nightlys

[Epic 4G General] dexterboy1106:
Hope your right

I almost went to BB to get the nexus s today but will hold off for now. I was going to go buy the nexus s and sell my epic then use the money from epic to pay ETF then get the new nexus. But then thaught about the pain of not having a keyboard and backed out of that idea.

:eek:Plus the price of epic on ebay is $100 dollars new ETF is $300 haha
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Randy with Bonsai will still be on the Epic unless someone buys him a new phone. He will be waiting like a lot of us for full upgrade status.
[Epic 4G General] Migital Warfare:
If I were on any one of those payrolls, I sure as hell wouldn't be kicking back with an Epic at this point. It's a realistic look at the state of affairs, I'm not one to hope and wish and dream that some faceless company will do exactly what is in the best interest of their customers knowing full well that their stockholders are the ones that keep the lights on. By extending the life of an outdated phone, all they do is keep people from wanting to upgrade to the newest offering, it's as simple as that.

If they do ever release GB for the Epic, and it isn't buggy as ****, it will make my wait to the end of my contract more bearable, and I won't feel like I really need to shell out $600+ on a new phone. What kind of business plan is that?
[Epic 4G General] dbpaddler:
Why do people keep saying if it gets released?I can't imagine why Samsung would waste developers' time and money pumping out test release after release if they weren't set on getting it out. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
right, but how many more test builds will they make if there is no fix for whatever problems are holding them back. the first gb .rdf came out literally days after froyo was released. that was coming up on 7 months ago.

i could easily see them giving up soon if they dont overcome the issues they are having with gb because they cant release a crap build to the public.
