Thats really sad news, i mean why SE bothered releasing it in some region, it was better keep it all till October , rather keeping us waiting :( there is still a whole month till October and then wait again till its available in ur country !!!

R u sure about that :D ? :p
[Xperia Arc General] Awesome_Aleks:
DemonicHawk is correct, Sony Ericsson Australia just posted that they will be rolling this update into the V2.3.4 update in October
[Xperia Arc General] Darth Glacious:
It's bloody unbelievable, still no update for unbranded arc from Germany. I'm living in Romania too, got my arc from Amazon.de, no update available, not via SEUS nor OTA.
[Xperia Arc General] BONNIE_62-10:
Flash it to the latest update

I flashed mine cause i was fed up of waiting for it to come :D
[Xperia Arc General] transfers:
Can you point me to where you saw this, so I can keep an eye on it?

[Xperia Arc General] tibidt:
I have stooped waiting and just flashed the HK version, rooted and updated via OTA.

Now I have .368 rooted and have removed some unwanted apps.

By the way, I got about 2 days on moderate use ( by switching off data traffic when not needed).
[Xperia Arc General] ExxarK:
I don't know how other people in Belgium do it to get the update, but on my unbranded Neo, I still get the notification that my phone is "up to date", even though it isn't :(
[Xperia Arc General] d.hoogduin:
KPn netherlands afaik unbranded phone.. nothing over OTA or PCCompanion ;{
[Xperia Arc General] cherryfish:
I can update to 4.0.A.2.368 via PCCompanion.

German unbranded Arc.
[Xperia Arc General] aru:
OTA to German unbranded.

Available now.
[Xperia Arc General] KP_:
I can confirm German unbranded Arcs are updatable through PCC and OTA
[Xperia Arc General] takisrs:
I just updated my xperia arc to version 4 via OTA (Greece)
[Xperia Arc General] ExxarK:
The update for my Neo is still not available.

I wonder why it takes more than a month to roll out an update that is available in some places from the day it has been announced.

I even sent an email to the local support emailaddress, but 2 weeks later, still no answer...:(
[Xperia Arc General] hanifh:
available in Kenya too.
[Xperia Arc General] Mercano:
I have a german phone and after this update, all the HD 720p (example - music videos, cca 60-70 mb) videos stutter when playing. The audio is fine, but the video is lagging behind like hell! What the hell?!

It was all playing fine with the old software!
[Xperia Arc General] Darth Glacious:
Got it last week, finally. Haven't noticed any issues so far. Though I would have to do some reading on the new feature to check them out.
[Xperia Arc General] doministry:
Anybody confirms Poland unbranded?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UGator:
Hi, I rooted my Tf and was running the Clemsyn OC kernel/ROm combo. It was running great until last night, when I decided to push it to see how far I could OC. I had it running stable at 1.6 and deicided to put it on the charger and head to bed. That was at 12:30 AM, got up at 5:30 AM and took it off t he charger and everything was force closing. Nothing seemed to work, I tried a data wipe but it keeps getting stuck on an attachment, I had sent via my gmail account, so I tried to delete it using Root Explorer and can't b/c Root explorer will not allow me to mount as R/W. I tried deleting via Total Commander and it tells me that I am not rooted!?!?! Please help! Nothing seems to work - except - Monkey Preschool Lunch (My 1.5 and three y.o. will be ecstatic). I will try anything. :confused:

Thanks,

[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
I'm really starting to get tired of this. If Samsung is going to continue prolonging the wait for official GB they should at least throw us a bone and give us kernel source.
[Epic 4G General] stilesja:
what if kernel is what they are having problems with fixing?
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
Most have said it is the modem.

Even if it was the kernel, it would still help our devs with adding CM7/MIUI support.

I agree and as long as SamFirmware keeps up the great job then we can enjoy practice roms till we get official GB.... personally I don't wanna run cm7 because I like to support local projects but that's just me.....
[Epic 4G General] Fatonuseni:
Its says the modem was messed up from the start! They are trying to fix it thru software!

Oh, and someone needs to alert samsfirmware!
[Epic 4G General] Shoulon:
You know there are different types cm7 roms also right?
[Epic 4G General] duce102:
Already done :)
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
Whoolooolooo!
[Epic 4G General] duce102:
Yeah but idk I just like to see what our devs can do with samsprints updates..... sorry to go off topic but why didn't we ever build cm6.... I know we would have only used it for a couple months but it seems like it would've been good practice for cm7 possibly cm8(yeah right lol)?
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
Biffmod FTW! I used it on my HTC Magic 32B back in the day.

I know that the same dev is now working on the i9000,Captivate, Vibrant and fascinate. Maybe he'll work on ours as well when we get CM7 working.
[Epic 4G General] faceless:
once more, with feeling!
[Epic 4G General] Shoulon:
It doesn't matter what version is built. Were (cm team) always stuck and its the same stuff not working.

We need our hardware driver souce.
[Epic 4G General] gophergun:
And that's not GPL, so does that leave us screwed?
[Epic 4G General] ksmullins88:
mann were probably gonna end up getting EL13 or something.
[Epic 4G General] Specialksg1:
Damn it Sprint, why won't you just give us the unfinished product so we can complain about it not working instead of complaining about not getting updates sooner?!?! Lol
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
ROFLMAO!!
[Epic 4G General] poit:
Finally, an honest post! ;)
[Epic 4G General] formula84:
So has there never been a driver source released before for us? or just GB driver source?
[Epic 4G General] edonnelly:
I think the 2.1 to 2.2 update was a big deal, because Froyo did give us a lot of new features. With 2.3, though, I'm not seeing a lot that seems all that better. I've tried some of the leak roms, but I'm pretty happy with the 2.2 custom roms and kernels right now. Once we get GB and the new kernels start coming out, I'm sure I'll upgrade to it, but I'm not too excited about it and I wouldn't really be bothered if we never got it at all.
[Epic 4G General] avlon:
IMHO, I just find it strange that it's so difficult for Sammy to get out timely updates considering that they manufacture the Nexus S which is nearly the same hardware.

If one looks at the Nexus One to the EVO, when the Nexus gets a major release, the EVO tends to follow not too long after.

Gingerbread was designed around the Galaxy S hardware and yet they can't seem to get things right yet when it comes to timely update.

Sad because I really do like the hardware in the phone. Hopefully they will get their act together.
[Epic 4G General] Shoulon:
there's no such thing as "GB Driver source" lol

Driver source is the code that tells us how our internal hardware operates.

And no there's never been a release for our epic. if there was, well we'd have everything we could want already.
[Epic 4G General] Wizard Knight:
which leads to the question, if they've never released it before, why do we think they'll release it with gingerbread?
[Epic 4G General] formula84:
So is this Samsung in general {even nexus S 4g} that does not release driver source? Or is it just our phone?
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
All companies release kernel source not properiatiary driver sources. The other companies driver sources are a lil easier to work with and figure out.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Sammy released Gingerbread for Galaxy S phones months ago. It is Sprint and FCC regs that bogs it down in the U.S. Europe gets their updates right away. We are always 3-4 months later.
[Epic 4G General] lbe:
That's bs blaming it on sprint and fcc. There ain't many sprint apps in there and the one that's in froyo build already work in gingerbread. Fcc reg also do nothing extra from froyo to gingerbread.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Then what do you think it is? If Samsung updated all the European Galaxy S phones months ago? What is different in the equation? If Samsung made major improvements but FCC requirements would not allow our phone to operate at those levels then that would leave Sprint and Samsung to figure out how to make it work. Simple math.
[Epic 4G General] belovedson:
simple solution

why not just hand over the european version to replace the usa poop versions.

to those complaining about gingerbread and epic. please read the damn post regarding cyonogen 7 and our hardware before you complain. read the shiz biatches
[Epic 4G General] Shoulon:
Because there's a huge STICKY that says "READ BEFORE ASKING ABOUT CYANOGEN."

>.> thanks for your input sir. Very helpful.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
European versions weren't CDMA, so that's irrelevant. The Sprint Nexus is CDMA however. Makes me wonder if the hardware really is that similar. Wonder if maybe there is a difference in memory or radio hardware. Otherwise the Nexus drivers and source would work for an Epic. There's gotta be some reason they have had so much trouble with the modems on the Epic.
[Epic 4G General] Shoulon:
whatever idea's are thought of, its already been tried and theorized lol. So don't worry.
[Epic 4G General] MrTimz:
So, i'm new here, first post.

From what i gather: EH11 = 2011, August, 11th?

And stock(EC05?) is 2011, March, 5th?
[Epic 4G General] Shoulon:
You've got the idea =)
[Epic 4G General] MrTimz:
Thanks! i think i'm catching on pretty fast.
[Epic 4G General] Shoulon:
yeah, feel free to PM me on anything you need.
[Epic 4G General] dewey1973:
I'm being cynical here... Could it be that Sprint/Samsung is "perfecting" this release because the Epic is "end of life" and this is the last upgrade we will be seeing?
[Epic 4G General] Shinydude100:
I beg of you, if you don't know what the FCC is responsible for, don't even mention them. They have nothing to do with the Gingerbread update on hardware that already exists.

[Epic 4G General] Qwallace70129:
Yea....honestly that sounds like the best excuse I've heard so far
[Epic 4G General] lys3rgic:
if im not mistaken end of line/life doesnt mean end of support.

and also isnt ice cream sandwich suppose to be on all devices? meaning we are suppose to be getting that update as well? and obviously from the cm7 thread. our device differs in ways a lot of us non-devs could even comprehend since even the devs are having problems with it.

end of line from what i read from sprint just means its not gonna be sold anymore. and it is understandable since the next galaxy s line is coming out. the duo core phones. and after is the quadcore. it doesnt mean that our phone wont get software support.
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
More than one knowledgable person here said we'll be getting ICS as well. I find it hard to believe, but I've been wrong before.
[Epic 4G General] duce102:
Your right about us still getting software support and that eol means they quit manufacturing the epic in factory and continue to sell whatever they have left..... but about ice cream sandwich, it will be mostly able to run on devices that can already run GB so we may be able to get it..... also google says if the phone is over a year old at the time ics is released, it might not get it.....
[Epic 4G General] snargledorf:
This might be a stupid question, but I haven't seen it asked anywhere else. Is there a way to see a list of these rdf files? Like is there a site sprint posts them?

If so is it publicly available or only by sprint employees?
[Epic 4G General] Migital Warfare:
The site that sprint posts them to is linked to on the OP.

http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-D700/XXXX.rdf

it's just up to us to enter in the right revision number (XXXX) to see if there has been an update to the code yet. There isn't a viewable list of the revisions (at least not publicly available).
[Epic 4G General] snargledorf:
Hmmm it hardly seems possible that people are just entering numbers to try and see if a build exists. I ask because I'm thinking of writing something up to make viewing the information in these build files a little easier.

Would anyone use such an application if it were made?
[Epic 4G General] edonnelly:
Enter this in a google search:

Then choose the "repeat the search with the omitted results included" option after you get your results.
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
I tried this and it looked fine at first but then I noticed that EH11 wasn't on the list.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
Yet that's what we do. If you just take the "EH11" in the URL and replace it with EH12 you can check to see if there is a new build today.

I think it's just XML, so any browser that displays XML cleanly will display the data cleanly. For instance, IE8 displays it in table form, very easy to read. (It's the only thing I use IE for.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
More likely the want to reduce the support costs incurred by a buggy release. I'm sure that whole EB13 thing wasn't fun for them.
[Epic 4G General] snargledorf:
Was thinking more along the lines of this: ;)

Just a mock-up, but kinda the idea I was going for.

Maybe if I find some time to actually learn java I might make an app instead of a windows application.
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
So they will leak EH06?
[Epic 4G General] snargledorf:
Something new to play with! :D

Can't wait to see the progress they've made! Hoping GPS is fixed...
[Epic 4G General] hayzooos:
This would be my assumption as well.
[Epic 4G General] dewey1973:
At the last Google I/O, Google announced that it had worked out a deal with partners which guarantees Android updates and upgrades for at least 18 months from device launch, provided that the hardware can support it.

The Epic launched August 31, 2010 so we should see upgrades up through February 2012 as long as the phone can run it.
[Epic 4G General] omair2005:
Does that include already launched phones, or phones released after the deal
[Epic 4G General] dewey1973:
Good question.
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
Please stop repeating this rumor. This isn't just aimed at you but rather to everyone in the community.

Google hasn't guaranteed anything other than that they are going to be a bit less tolerant of OEMS releasing new phones on ancient OS's.
[Epic 4G General] dewey1973:
Source: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/05/android-momentum-mobile-and-more-at.html

So it seems that it is only "new" devices.
[Epic 4G General] hayzooos:
So does this mean the SGSII will come with ICS? I'm only half joking, as you would think GB would be considered 'ancient' by some standards around here.
[Epic 4G General] lys3rgic:
wasn't a rumor

[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:

[Epic 4G General] AproSamurai:
They posted sometime yesteday that it would be EH03. They said it was the the one they had found.
[Epic 4G General] Shoulon:
I wasn't asking lol. I did that so we could go back to thread topic.

thanks tho.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
So what's the point, unless you're a flash junkie? If they are further along the EH03 will have a lot of the same bugs or different ones. The rescheduled the Conquer (Epic jr) until the end of this month in order to get 2.3 working correctly. So let's hope they get a release by then so they don't postpone the release for another month. (Incentive on their part)
[Epic 4G General] snargledorf:
According to samfirmwares twitter, they have postponed the leak till Monday so that they can get either EH06 or EH11 out.

[Epic 4G General] Fatonuseni:
Lol, I think that was all xda!
[Epic 4G General] misterlee622:
Getting EH06 or EH11 on Monday? Cool beans! Even tho we're not getting the official GB any time soon, nice to see a steady flow of leaks coming out. . . no pun intended.
[Epic 4G General] deano0714:
Well... Lets see if the debuging stuff is stripped out... Maybe eh11 will be official.
[Epic 4G General] DCRocks:
I wonder what modedm problems would be the issue?

The EG22 modem worked fine for me with EC05 SRF 1.2

Seems to bedoing fine with ERA's EG22 ROM as well

Are there known specific issues under testing/repair?

[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
I just want a final gingerbread build already that has EC05's battery life.
[Epic 4G General] BubZX:
+1 on that, i went bck to EC05 cuz the battery life sucked for me on EG22. it was fine for the first 2-3 days and then it went in the crapper after that.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
If it changed after 2 or 3 days then something is running in the background. ROMs don't change themselves 2-3 days later. Something updated and turned on a sync or is running in the background. Check your deep sleep time with cpuspy and check your running services. My battery life 3 weeks later on EG22 is still waaaaaay better than stock EC05.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
EG22 still has some random crash/reboot issues. I don't know if it's modem related or something else but I've had issues where it wouldn't unlock, it would just freeze on the onlock screen. Had to pull the battery. I've also had a few reboots with the phone just sitting on the table.
[Epic 4G General] rygran87:
EC05 had good battery life and all but my experience was that the GB leaks have had comparable if not better battery life. Currently on CM7B1 which is a completely different animal. Again, battery life is amazing. Without the rediculous widgets and respawning services that they add, this phone is great on battery no matter what build you're using.
[Epic 4G General] Shoulon:
I can rock 4hrs screen time with Gingerbread so its better then ec05 ;)
[Epic 4G General] deano0714:
Yeah.. Cant wait for source itll be better :)
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Once we get source and cm7 is official, I'm staying on that rom for as long as I have this phone XD.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
I thought someone said we were getting either EH03 or EH06 from a samfirmware tweet.
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
No, at first they were going to release EH06 today but with the new builds showing up so fast, they are going to try to release EH11 or EH06 Monday.

"Monday we will release D700EH06 or D700EH11. Sorry for this, but there are to fast new versions for this device."
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Hmm...may be worth a look if it is EH11.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
Unless EH15 comes out Monday:rolleyes:
[Epic 4G General] Esteway.619:
Same for me cm7 and miui :D lol.
[Epic 4G General] schnowdapowda:
My cheapness just won't allow me to not use my 4g... I don't see how so many people are willing to give up a feature the phone is named after just for a rom. I'm sure its bad ass and all but it just doesn't seem worth it to me just for a few extra hours of battery and better "performance". Anybody know some more specific reasons why cyanogen is so much better? I don't want to hear "its pure aosp" lol :) sorry if I'm trolling here.

Cd's or tapes?
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
Most of us are no where near 4g so it doesn't matter to us. We rely on wifi
[Epic 4G General] deano0714:
Well speed and battery... But the best thing about them are how customizable they are... Basicly every mod for cm7 can work for anyone if it only has to do with framework... Same with miui and it is great to show off... Also many thangs are different and optimized in miui.. It makes doing anything on your phone easier(not that its hard)...just my oppinion.
[Epic 4G General] dewey1973:
Question. Devs were saying we'd get CM6 when the Froyo source was released but before that CM7 had been started and we never got it for Froyo. Are we sure we'll get CM7 when the GB source is released? Ice Cream Sandwich is on the horizon. What if CM moves on without us?

Don't get me wrong. I love our developer community and appreciate everything they have done to make the Epic the best it can be.
[Epic 4G General] NEXUS 4G:
Customizability (if that's a word), timely updates, a huge community, themes, the screen works upside down, hardware optimization for aosp. To name a few.
[Epic 4G General] deano0714:
I think they stoped tring to work on cm6... Whats the point when it would be outdated... I think we will but by the time we do i will probly have the gs2 and have to wait again but not for long (hopefully).
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
The point is it wouldn't have been outdated. It would have gotten 6 good months of use. It might have even made figuring out CM7 easier. Instead we get a big middle finger on both counts.
[Epic 4G General] murso74:
i think the problem was not having a snapdragon phone with AOSP on it to pull drivers from.... like we do with the nexus S. so they'd have had to build the drivers from scratch? OR i could be talking straight out of my ass but that's the explaination as i understand it. with GB we have the Nexus S and S 4G that' they've pulled some stuff from, and now we are waiting on our own GB source to complete it

Bah yea, just saw that tweet, EH06 is basically guaranteed to be buggy since they released EH11 just a week later. I guess they are still trying to iron out modem issues. Still, better than nothing I suppose. I was hoping for EH11 since Samfirmware delayed the release but I guess they can't since they can't find it on any Samsung servers.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
Perhap EH11 will be like EF02/EF10. Install EH06 and the modem updates via firmware update to EH11?
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Doubtful. That was when Sprint actually had it on it's servers hoping that was the actual release. They probably have learned not to anticipate after 10 or more new builds.
[Epic 4G General] sohardivetried:
that sucks. i just got this phone in march... leave it to me to be the last to adopt. Loving gingerbread i dont know what the complaints are for. Battery life is excellent, everything works. I have no problems at all with EG22. **** is piiiiimp!
[Epic 4G General] Schuby:
I have a feeling this is what will probably occur. Samfirmware said themselves that EH11 wasn't on the servers. A while back I tweeted them asking about EF10 shortly after EF02 was released and they said they had no plans to release it, which makes me think it wasn't a full build available to them. EF10 ended up being a small patch (7kb if I remember correctly from the 'modem catching' script thread a while back).

My theory: EH06 is a final build and that it is in the final stages of testing, then possibly a bug was found that can be fixed via the 'FOTA' (or whatever it was called) update just like EF02/EF10.
[Epic 4G General] omair2005:
