I honestly hope the EK02 full update gets leaked soon. I put off even going into sprint to see about getting it refreshed and just held off hoping we would get something. Not that I'm upset but After hacking my Android phones after all these years starting with the G1 I've come to learn don't mess with the modem on samsung Phones unless the official stuff (ie EG30) is there to go back to in full. Chalk this one up to me learning something new no harm no foul just kinda sucks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] maddoggin:
well of course if your rooted it wont work!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
Ha...I got sick of waiting and power cycled. 20 minutes after reboot, I got a notify of the update. When I went to install, it failed. Not sure if this is because I'm rooted, or because of my LOS kernel. Going to flash stock kernel when I get home and see if it lets me install....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] maddoggin:
dude this is done all the time, relax its not the end of the world, when the update comes out if your fully stock and i mean fully stock youll get the update!

whats wrong with your phone anyways? is something wrong with it?

Actually, you are a perfect candidate to tell us if this update actually fixes the issues. It will be interesting to see if you have any LoS or other issues this week. Thanks for sharing the screen as well.

Pulled update .zip from cache, here u go!

For some reason it wouldn't upload. Here's a link to dropbox. Hopefully it's useful to someone. I've been running rooted eg30 for weeks with no issues. So, I saw no reason to install just yet. Not sure if dropbox implements a limit on how many downloads can be used. But, here's the link...

I'm in MD and o just got the update but I have a rooted phone running he LOS kernel. Is it safe to update?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
Everything will revert back to stock other than your data. So you'll loose root and the stock kernel, but root is out regardless.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dishun71:
got the update

Got the update here in Atlanta ,Ga had to restart the phone 2 times before the update came.

Ran a quadrant test, it does seem a little faster...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bbedward:
Losing root simply means Odin recovery and flash su zip and install busy box :)

I'm Northeast of DC still haven't gotten it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] raveniselizabeth:
Ok so is the update different than the EK02 that some of us already flashed? I am on the EK02 Radio with the EK02 Kernel. Should I put everything back to EG30 and get the actual update or do I already have the same exact thing?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] srgwidowmaker:
Go to setting/about phone/system update /update android thats what i did but u have to odin back to eg30
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Some very knowledgeable people matched the MD5 sums and they matched exactly. They seem to be identical. Also, OTA's aren't always problem free. If you have the kernel and modem, you may want to let themer devs work their magic first

Device Reset ##RTN#: Following the software update, the phone will clear all information on the internal partition when performing a ##RTN# on the phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
No problem glad to help.

That font would give me a headache if I had it on my phone.

I'm running only running ek02 kernel and I haven't seen los in a while. I only got that symbol today at Disney land, only because the sprint service sucks balls in the park. dl roam control to stay on Verizon 1x because it was more stable than sprint 3G.

How the OTA doesn't mess up my phone, I don't have my laptop here.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kenneu:
I saw the update offered while on Calkulin's 1.5a. I ignored it and restored my nandroid back to stock so I could accept the OTA. Now I'm back on stock with no notification of update and I can't "pull it" using the check for updates (either firmware or android).

Is there a way to trigger it to happen again?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LegionCmndr:
I was playing around with Fontamizer app when the update came through.

Helvetica S made a prompt return
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] neudof:
If you did update later, the sprint documentation says you will be prompted a few times per day
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nivron:
Interesting. What internal partition is ##786# going to clear? This is my favorite way of fully wiping the phone after Odin.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] princebabyeater:
is there a way to turn off the notifications I'm happy with my set up I don't want to update
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
your internal SD card. We had a discussion on our internal forums about how ##rtn# only wipes /data, and sprints specifications states that the hard reset # code that manufacturers put in the phone (every phone except the iPhone has it) needs to wipe ALL phone data, including the internal SD card. I for one was against implementing it, but that's just how it is.

Just flash a custom ROM based off of it, or I believe Calk posted a Rooted stock rom based off EK02, no need to wait!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ajac:
any custom roms with CWM AND orginal kernel not that I900 stuff lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
See any kernel that says "stock kernel repacked" which is basically the stock kernel with a custom recovery, bring your own root and busy box which can easily be done here LINKY
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
It must be random because I am about 20 miles away and I got it the morning of the 7th
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
It's totally random. The updates are dished out by Google's GOTA servers, and phones are picked at random. The rollout is supposed to be completed 10 days after the release date.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jtashcraft:
I'm stock but rooted eg31 will I get the update?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
You will get it, but it will fail. Get on the EG30 modem and unroot if you want to take the OTA update
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheDudeAbides:
I'm stock, rooted, on eg30. i will lose root, huh? if i update?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Yes you will.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kikoshi:
now um.. the only thing that i've changed from making the root on my phone is just the Kernel to LosKernel, and frozed a few Spam app's(Bloatware), havent removed any apps, eccept normaly Uninstalling, the uninstallable bloatware that came w stock.

So er... all i gotta do is install the "EG30 Stock Kernel that just got extracted, and im good to do the update?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_exactly:
Kikoshi, yes, you will be good to update. Just go to the dev forum and download the modem. Then flash it. Everything to update he phone is already on the site. You don't have to wait to update.

Well isn't the kernel only affected on my end, why flash the modem when its already EG30, but the kernel was the only thing i flashed :confused:?..., and i'd like to have the update from Sprint OTA than the leaked tar... who knows if something got changed from that leak to the current release?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ssconceptz:
Wondering if its newer than EK02.......
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rbaucom:
I tried the leak after, my stock everything except for root with cwm.

Lost wifi and started getting fc on phone systems.

Restored everything to the stock, redid ota via standard recovery as it had lost ota by redoing it and I had coppied it to my sdcard when I got it.

I'm good now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kikoshi:
just went ahead used Auto Root then went to option C then B meaning reflashed EG30, waiting all night for the update, nothing... So then i went ahead and downloaded the Update.rar that was released, went to stock recovery, and updated. Everything is stock eccept i went ahead and ran Root, but no CWM5, and its all nice and dandy at the moment :D
[HTC Titan] Woodway:
I switched from a Focus to the Titan about a week ago. I love the Titan, except it seems to me that the antenna sensitivity is pretty poor. Cases in point:

1. On a call on my Titan at the office, I enter a stairwell in the building, and immediately the call drops. With my Focus, I could walk up and down these stairs all day while on a call and never have the call drop.

2. At home, I get very poor coverage. Last night at home my Titan is telling me that there is no network available. I walk over and pick up my wife's Focus and it is showing AT&T network and two bars! I power cycled my Titan hoping that it might re-lock onto the network, but it continued to tell me that no network was available all evening. I was unable to make or receive any calls last evening.

3. Right now, sitting in my desk at work, my Titan is bouncing between 2-3 bars. My Focus, sitting in the same spot would always show 4-5 bars. When I pick up my Titan, the signal strength display drops to one bar.

I really, really like this phone, but if this is the indication of the signal strength that I can expect, I am going to have to return it. Anyone else having this problem?
[HTC Titan] Woodway:
OK, I may have answered my own question. After posting, I saw this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18523952&postcount=12

I opened the case on my Titan, contacts looked fine. But when I put the phone back together, I squeezed the case very hard at the bottom, and the signal strength indicator immediately went to four bars. Will monitor and see if this takes care of the problem.
[HTC Titan] eeichhorn:
Just received my Titan.

The signal is terrible. Sitting right next to my hd7s, the hd7s gets speeds of around 1mbit/sec while the Titan gets connection errors.

Checked the contacts and they are fine

Everywhere I test, the Titan consistently has a weak signal. This is on att in central NY. I wont even compare it to the signal on my Droid with verizon. I absolutely love the phone, but with the signal problems I'm probably going to be returning it :(
[HTC Titan] bennyj71:
Did you get a new SIM card or are you using your old one. The new micro SIM made a big difference on my Titan. I had a one year old sim from my Focus. My nephew had a 15 month (?) old Sim for an Iphone 3Gs. When I put both in two Titans, mine was had better signal and internet connection. I noticed that Titan uses the micro SIM(saw someone with it), so I got a new micro SIM yesterday. My signal is even better. The internet flies on my phone now.
[HTC Titan] Tempest790:
I'm still using my old sim that I had from the Focus (and earlier). Did you get your micro sim at the AT&T store? I may get one myself.
[HTC Titan] bennyj71:
Yes, I did. Make sure to go to a corporate store. It's free. If you go to a franchise they'll charge $20, I believe.
[HTC Titan] Woodway:
When I bought my phone online, they sent a new SIM with the phone.

Signal strength and quality seem better since I made my original post. Still not as good as my old Focus, but acceptable.

HTC Titan low signal homemade solution

Hello there,

After getting my Titan from AT&T, I saw that the signal was much lower than my iPhone 4.

When I got home, I had no service in the house where I had 1 or 2 bars with the iPhone 4.

I checked the contacts, but they where fine, so I started to make test to find witch of the 2 botthom contacts was the positive of the antenna.

With the phone face down, the faar right contact is the ground of the antenna, because it has continuity with the chassis of the phone.

So the left contact is the one to work with.

I then research on the internet for the lenth of a 850mhz antenna, & I found that it is 9 cm.

I then cut a piece of brass shim half a centimeter wide by 9 centimeter long.

I soldered a small hard copper wire thru the left hole of the cover & soldered it to the inside tab of the back cover, making shure that no solder or wire protrude from the contact. Otherwise you will have problems to close the back cover against the phone.

I then made a pin hole thru one end of my brass shim I had previously cut.

I then turned the cover over & pass the brass shim thru the hard copper wire I just soldered on the inside. I used invisible regular tape to secure the brass shim on the back cover & then proceeded to solder the shim with the hard copper wire as close to the back cover possible. I then tested my invention & I have now 2 bars where I had no service before.

Of course, I Had a Hard Cover shell to cover this installation, but the results are fantastic.

You have to be aware that the phone back cover will be altered in case of warranty, but you can get a replacement cover on Ebay for aprox $36.

Do this at your own risk

You can sand this soldering in order to prevent having difficulties putting a protective skin or cover.

I strip of copper can also be used for this homemade antenna.

You can PM me if you need more help for the installation.

I now have a full functioning HTC Titan that I now have learn to cherish.

By the way, the problem that a lots of people are having with slow downloads, is directly related to tha lack of a good antenna on this phone.

Hope this hep some of you out there.:)

Edited Febuary 2, 2012

I found the real problem with signal issues of the Titan.

I had bought a second HTC Titan & I thought of trying the back cover on my first Titan.

The results are astonishing. The back cover was all that was wrong on my device. With the second Titan I purchased from AT&T on the Web, there is no problem with the sigral.

I have now ordered a new cover from Ebay & will try to get a replacement from HTC for my original one that was defective.

I really think there was a bad batch of those back covers for this Titan & we where the unlucky ones to get them.

If you know someone that has no issues with his Titan, try his back cover on your phone.

Hope this help someone.

Good luck.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jsny:
so i cracked my EVO screen for the first time in 1 1/2 years and rather than replace it, decided to upgrade to the SGS2...........

a couple weeks back i was at my gf's house playing with NFL Sunday ticket on my laptop and EVO. it looks "decent" on my latop and HORRIBLE on my EVO. so i decided to try her iPhone(sprint 4s) to see how it handled it. i was dumbfounded. the iPhone looked close to HD quality. i was pissed! when i was at the sprint store discussing my EVO i brought up the iPhone's performance vs. the EVO and the rep said the SGS2 would perform just like the iPhone.

SO....i decided to order an SGS2. i was excited when i got the phone. used netflix and youtube and have been very impressed with the video quality. THEN....i tried NFL Sun Tix. BUMMER.....same quality as my EVO. Grabbed my gf's iPhone just to make sure it wasn't a network issue? nope! iPhone was HD quality..............

i did notice on the SGS2 on netflix,(i live in a non 4G city) once i load a movie if i hit "pause" for 30 sec's or so and let it buffer, the quality remains excellent. while on NFL Sun Tix, there are no control options for the video playback. there are though on the iPhone. so i'm blaming DirecTV on this one. looks like they've given the iPhone developmental priority over the android platform. it's really pretty sad too considering how well the SGS2 plays video. just too bad they didn't implement any video playback controls for android.

has anyone else found a way to harness the SGS2's video power's with the Sun Tix app????

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bakedbread:
hey guys,

I just read an article about the Verizon extended battery + cover for the Nexus (it's OEM - i dont think i'd ever buy a 3rd party battery)

http://www.androidcentral.com/close-look-verizon-galaxy-nexus-extended-battery

http://forums.androidcentral.com/ve...s-extended-battery-2100mah-battery-cover.html

The 2100mAH seems like a good upgrade from our 1750mAH battery, but im more curious if this would fit in the GSM version? But then again, we would also need a cover as well, because i know the LTE dimensions are slightly different...

or has anyone heard of OEM extended battery coming to the GSM version?

If its a small sacrifice in thickness i'd probably jump on it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crazifyngers:
as long as it isn't a hunchback cover i will most likely get it. i'm all about extending battery life but those covers make the device very uncomfortable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bakedbread:
if its anything like the OEM extended battery for the Galaxy S2 , it should be very minimal difference in the back cover

You know the tiny "hump' at the bottom of your phone on the back?

I think the extended battery basically makes that uniform with the cover+battery, so there's no longer a hump but just a straight back

it might even feel better to grip
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bilhouse:
I will definitely be buying this. I was interested in the 2000mah one from Korea but this is even better. Hurry up and get announced for UK/EU!
