Fyi, till December 31, in corporate retail stores sprint has a targeted offer to allow upgrades many months in advance for "high value" customers. Basically I've seen customers with bills averaging over 130 getting upgrades available as early as 9 months before true eligibility. Only way to check is to actually go in to a corporate retail store and have them look at your account. Under offers for your line it will say early hup. Manager has to override price but you could hit the upgrade lottery :)

This will NOT be reflected online, on the phone, or through any other method than physically setting foot in the retail store. Just FYI. Good luck.

Please don't repost this, it's only for my epic brethren.
[Epic 4G General] TexasLTE:
THX 4 that info ;)
[Epic 4G General] algorhythm:
Is there even anything worth upgrading to yet?
[Epic 4G General] D-Buckner:
When I was looking a couple nights ago at phones I decided that waiting awhile was the best option for me. :-(
[Epic 4G General] algorhythm:
Yeah I feel the same way.. sure, I can roll the dice and see if I can drop 200$ on an early upgrade E4GT, but it's not THAT much better to burn my upgrade so early.
[Epic 4G General] jdelano:
I got my daughter the epic touch; it is pretty nice. ROMs are still maturing though.

How spoiled are we when custom rom selection effects phone selection :)
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
my wife is due for an upgrade in june, but they told her about this in store a few daysw ago. same rep almost sold her an "iphone4g" for 99 bucks saying it was on sale.

im glad i changed the pin number a few weeks ago, or i wouldve had to have stabbed someone.
[Epic 4G General] ac16313:
I'm hoping the sprnt rep lol...
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
Yes, lol. The rep, for hustling my wife.
[Epic 4G General] bhess:
I just found out about this and walked out with a new Epic touch for the wife and I.

I called sprint to see if I could get around the $36 activation fee. What we ended up doing was the allowed me to buy out my term for $45 each then he credited me $100 on my account and waived the activation fees! :D

Sweet!

So I went to post it here and found this thread!
[Epic 4G General] poit:
No upgrade for me until a decent LTE phone arrives.
[Epic 4G General] Bluerai:
That's my plan too. I'm still enjoying my epic, and I don't see any need to upgrade before then
[Epic 4G General] VeNoM vZ:
Is there a way to find out if one of those stores are near me?
[Epic 4G General] pvtjoker42:
Yeah, as much as I like new toys to play with (root, rom etc.) there's nothing available that would even tempt me out of my $200.. now if Sprint gets the Galaxy Nexus in the next couple days.. that might be a different story (my buddy keeps sending me pics and updates about which roms he's flashed etc.. he just got the damn nexus today.. lol)
[Epic 4G General] phdeez:
Our account is just over $130/mo with taxes and such... 2x (SeroP + 4G + $8 TEP). Anyways, my wife has been complaining so much about her Evo, and won't let me root/rom it that I want to get her an iPhone just to shut her up...
[Epic 4G General] abhaxus:
I managed to pick up an epic touch for cheap without using my upgrade, but I have to say I would hold onto my upgrade if I didn't have other options. Phones in 2012 will be quad core, amoled hd, and lte. But if you are desperate, it is another option for you.
[Epic 4G General] shane6374:
This could make my daughter very happy.

[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
I am happy I didn't jump on the upgrades a few months ago when I could. Now my upgrade comes in July right when the new LTE phones come out. So everything works out if you let it :)

Thanks OP for the info though.
[Epic 4G General] shane6374:
Yup this is no bull. All of my lines are eligible.
[Epic 4G General] jdelano:
got mine the epic touch; she had the htc shift. she is all :eek: now.

haven't rooted it yet, letting the roms mature a bit before putting anything on it.

it is very nice, the sgs3 though is looking like a sweet phone, i'm waiting to see what all unfolds next year.
[Xoom General] M_Cheevy:
Greetings folks.

First time posting to these forums so I have to post here. I did see another thread in this forum on the Eos ICS Nightly builds but it has degraded into a discussion of the limitation of posting in the Dev forums, something I'm not fussed about. So far I'm extremely impressed by the work done and am more than happy with my understanding that this is an Alpha Build and not everything works.

This is not a complaint about things not working but rather a query that has come out of reading the entire EOS Nightly thread.

One thing I can not ascertain from the forums: it seems some people are able to use the External SD card in Read/Write mode. Unfortunately, I can not seem to be able to do so. I'm only able to get it in Read Only mode.

I've tried issuing standard Unix chmod commands (g+w) to change the mode without success. I tried checking for a mount table in /etc also without success.

Can someone please advise if a) /mnt/external1 can be made Read/Write under Build 12, and b) if so, how to get it going?

Much Obliged,

M_Cheevy
[Xoom General] burden010:
I think I read in the thread that using root explorer works... I think!
[Xoom General] M_Cheevy:
Burden,

Thanks for the swift reply. I'll give it a try.

I should have mentioned that I've tried using Alpha File Manager to do this. Up until now that is ;) Also, in the past, with the Tiamat kernels, Alpha was able to Read/Write to the external. However, I do understand that not all applications are ICS ready. I'll try Root Explorer and post the results to this thread.

Much Obliged,

M_Cheevy
[Xoom General] xoom68:
It only worked for me when I downloaded an External card write app from the market.

As far as my thread went, well you classing it as me complaining mybe explains some of the comments I got I suppose. My point on OTG was not a complaint at EOS but as you have mentioned here it does not work. All I was aiming at and if you read the Motorola forums both external card write and OTG mount were never enabled by Motorola, no one seems to be saying if they will with be enabled by Motorola in ICS ?

Now if this is was an Alpha build by Google I could understand, but if Motorola can only work with this and thats it, it does concern me with how much better off we will be.
[Xoom General] M_Cheevy:
Xoom68,

Please don't mistake my characterisation of your query as a complaint. I merely stated that the thread had gone that way. I'd really rather this thread merely addressed the specific issue I had with Read/Write.

Burden010: Thanks. I did cough up the $4 for Root Explorer and it was able to access the External SD in Read/Write mode successfully.

I'll update the thread header with a "Resolved" flag. (Tried, but doesn't seem to be possible)

Much Obliged for all your help,

M_Cheevy
[Xoom General] burden010:
Glad it solved your issue :)

Also... and I don't want it to look like I'm trawling for thanks points here (although I blatantly am) if someone helps you out on the forum, it's customary to hit their "Thanks" button. ;)
[Xoom General] M_Cheevy:
Etiquette lesson received and acted upon ;)
[Xoom General] jerses:
i have questions to ask. is the problem with games fixed? like dead space not rotating screen or gameloft games not recognizing the xoom...or if there is any problem with apps not working...i dont care is its lags. and i dont care about camara,hdmi...just want apps and games to work. any feedback on games?
[Xoom General] RMerlin:
I suspect most of these issues will have to be resolved by the game publishers, and there's not much the EOS team can do about it. These are probably compatibility issues with the game itself under ICS. I'm fairly sure they will be gradually resolved by game publishers as more ICS devices get in the wild.

hi i have an installed overcome 4.0 on my p1000. i downloaded tegrak overclock and it said max frequency 1.6ghz 1.5v does this meen its been overclock to that already or can be.Does anyone have step by steps for this ?
[Galaxy Tab General] rafaeker19:
The overclock can be set to that speed/volt

I recommend, to overclock max to 1.4ghz.

1.5ghz and 1.6ghz can damage your device.
[Galaxy Tab General] hambalos:
I tried almost all the overclocking apps.it is better to overclocked your device onlu at 1300 if it exceeds to 1400 and above your device will reboot sometimes or hung and can cause your tab to brick.
[Galaxy Tab General] hj3669:
i like it p1000,it's my friend
[Galaxy Tab General] fabricatedhero:
Yah 1.5ghz or 1.6ghz would always run a bit to alot unstable.

Although i personally like SetCPU instead ;-)
[Galaxy Tab General] -=Android Man=-:
Not when you do not put the overclock on the 1,6 Ggz. Our processor is not designed, although there is an option.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wolfman87:
I was writing a reasonably long email today on the phone (which was dreadful enough :P ) and the keyboard kept freezing with the blue indicator still up. If I stopped typing after a short delay the rest of my sentence would come up and shoot across the screen as if I was typing it out. I guess it was still registering my keypresses while it was frozen/stalling. A couple of times if missed sections of text.

Was I typing to fast? Why would this happen and does anyone else have problems with the keyboard?

EDIT: Mods, please move to the Q&A. Thanks!

Hi all;

I'am a proud user of SGR and I'm using stock 2.3.4 carrier-free rom, I only flased the asian kernel via ODIN to get root ( I got yellow triangle).

What I want to report is that I'm having just one annoying bug, I'm getting ramdomly music pause of course I'm not pausing it ( I happens within music, Streaming shoutcast , recording audio..) So... Is this happening to any of you too? Or you all are using 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 where this issue is solved?

I have flashed nothing but rooterd kernel.

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Fulgente:
Right now, I have only two bugs:

- The display, every time you restart the phone, loses the display mode and returns to "Dynamic".

- Some microSD cards (Samsung 32GB Class 10) results in excessive consumption of battery.

Sorry for my english.

P.D: I´m on 2.3.4 (root).
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] krobar77:
yes exactly!.. I'm having this bugs too!

the Display mode always set back to "Dynamic"

but i'm on XWKG8 2.3.4 with ardatdat kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] m.kochan10:
I confirm it!
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Luk@s:
- Changing display to dynamic.

- Sandisk 16GB MicroSDHC Class 4 = poor battery life - I can't use this card with my phone, however I didn't try it in my previous phones. Do you know, is it hardware or software issue? My father has the same microSD card in Galaxy S2 and no problems.

Thank you for sharing your thoghts!

I'm also having the screen mode bug.

It's only two major bugs as far as I tested it, pretty content though.

But the mp3 player bug its the big one for me.

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] m.kochan10:
2.3.4 - random freezings, very rarely and short but f...n irritating :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] legion1911:
Why do you people stay with the old 2.3.4 and complain instead of taking the European 2.3.5 of October or the Asian 2.3.6 of November?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] m.kochan10:
It's not about compaining but about sharing information, which is especially useful for new users. I'm personally on custom 2.3.6 :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Fulgente:
I don´t know if these bug´s persist in later versions you mentioned.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Google86:
I'm backing it up all , but I'm not updating to 2.3.5 until I find out If these bugs are still in the german rom, It will take more than 5hours to set all my settings even using Ti backup.

In 2.3.4 I have these bugs:

- Music player , radio FM, stops ramdomly

- Display mode it sets every time you reboot to dynamic.

-Brightness ramdom disadjustments

-Native Email APK doesn't have push notifications.

And is this rom capable to switch between 2g/3g ( some carrier roms doesn't allow)

-Autorotation with root does it work?

I guess all these questions will help a lot of people that we are still in 2.3.4 because you never know if a newer rom would have even more bugs than older ones.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] krobar77:
for me.. i'm waiting for OC kernel on 2.3.5 or 2.3.6.

ardadat kernel cannot be use with these rom yet..

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bondosho:
Just for ****s and giggles I ran quadrant. I'm on stock rooted EL13 with crawj's all in one. I got over 4k.

Not to bad, but going from 3k to 4k, I don't feel any difference in real world performance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
That's because quadrants don't mean jack.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clipsedrag:
quadrants are only partially helpful but its kinda fun trying to see how high u can jack it up
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
I think its also fun how low you can go.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hypersonicx:
I also got 6094 using the same kernal as the op and with the same OC using setcpu though.

Rom is Calks latest. With EL baseband.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mazook98:
Agreed.

I agree that quadrant scores may not translate consistently to real-world system performance, but I also can easily realize that if quadrant scores are "skewed and unfair", then they are equally "skewed and unfair" for everyone, which actually makes them fair in the end.

What does this mean?

It means a quadrant score of over 6000 is from a phone that is RIDICULOUSLY fast, I don't care who you are.

If I ever ran a 6000+ quadrant score on ANY device, I'd be stoked about it, too.

(And anyone who says they wouldn't is just lying, IMHO.)

Nice post, OP.

:-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
Uhh, i dont troll forums to rain on "parades". I just worked a 13 hr day and when i got home it was the first thread i read and it brightened up my day - nothin like a good travolta joke. And yes, it was funny. I didnt say anything about trashing the "phone we all love", just thought it was funny, period. I think you need to re-think the urge to start posts with "people like you" over something so small. I really like this community, and merely commenting on a joke wasn't showing poor taste.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clipsedrag:
Yeah man REAL funny. I'm sure the OP really liked you two laughing at his expense. You sir are correct, it was great taste! (Insert sarcastic john travolta image and joke)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skyline247:
I was simply being funny, not trolling. Quadrant scores are essentially meaningless for today's devices, just for your information. So if you can't take humor, take your 66 posts and join date of April 2011, and maybe find another forum, say, less humorous. That is all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clipsedrag:
Oh excuse my 66 posts, i obviously shouldn't be posting with the likes of "skyline". Unfortunately people of your stature frequent all types of forums. How about you quit wasting your time posting meaningless pictures in a sad attempt at getting a fellow internet gangster to giggle and give you the thumbs up! I thought the quadrant score was awesome
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] il buono:
Ok guys lets break it up now. There's no need for another thread to turn nasty.

I have yet to break 6000 so anytime this happens is definitely good news. Excellent job OP :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skyline247:
It was humor! My God, does the internet not have a funny bone anymore. :-) Son, I'll take it easy on ya, since I see you haven't been with XDA long. We have been poking fun at each other on here since before I joined. April, 2009. Yes, 2009. Back then we had touchscreen pbones, but the screen was usually 2.5", and was on a windows mobile phone. Android was just a fad then. We laughed, made jokes, & participated in camaraderie. If someone needed help, we helped. We might have tried to get each others goat, but it wasn't mean-spirited.

Nowadays, there's a new breed of xda'er, I guess including yourself, that doesn't know what XDA was like back then, and how it got it's origins. They don't understand the humor and poking fun. The camaraderie, & the relationships fellow hackers have. I didn't mean to offend the OP, I was merely making light of Quadrant standard.

I now, nor ever, have been a troll, & am here, as always, to help someone who is having an issue with their device.

That being said, maybe take things a little lighter, and try to be less serious. We are, after all, a community, and I think we do pretty well having each others backs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
"internet gangster"? Hyperbolic much? Take it down a notch, take it down a bunch of notches. I never meant to offend anybody, and i have a feeling the OP has a better sense of humor than you, so stop speaking for him. Geez, so much drama.

And i agree with skyline again, take a look at his(or mine even though im a new member) post/thanks ratio. Clearly here to help more than make fun.

"Tell us the story again, 'Grandpa!'... What WAS is like back then?????? "
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bondosho:
This I know. People used to get all bent out of shape on the OG Epic forum because it would score in the 900s.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
XdA was like a mullet, business up front (general and development) and a party in the back (trash and off Topic)

I do agree the entitlement and trolling has been a lot more common in the forums. I blame the popularity of android brings a majority of the new users and a younger crowd. Back in the WM days it was mostly adults that were into those phones. Kids had sidekicks, blackberrys and razrs.

Anyway I guess the op set a new high score of quadrant. He's got the biggest e-penis right now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iSaint:
Lol that score aint **** you guys really cant get higher than that ?

;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bbb1977:
I am new to XDA and love getting feedback from other users and what Kernels and ROMs they are using. Thanks to all of you that have positive feedback and advice to those of us that are new to the game.

Thats not even close to the high score. Check my rom... I was afraid the guys phone was gonna catch fire... Kids nowadays....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ipetloudog:
Umad
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mazook98:
Okay! I'll play....

I just checked your rom. (by the way: very, very nice work on that: you prolly HAVE made the fastest Rom available to us), and there was a link to someone who got a quadrant score of 6135 once. (which of course, IS higher).

That guy posted his score, and not only did he not get flamed for it, it was apparently deemed a worthy enough post that it was even added to your OP.

This OP got a 6047.

6135-6047= 88 points.

Cmon, now bro...

I'd say that qualifies as "even close", and something to be excited about.

But, what do I know?

His phone/Rom combo with a 6047 MAY be so laggy and slow that it's just quite unusable as a daily driver. (Because everyone knows that the REAL performance doesn't kick in till you hit the 6100 mark.)

ps: I'm not including reference to the 6300+ score in this post, because that was from a Quadrant Advanced run, whick adds about 10% to the length of your "e-peen" without you even asking for it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bbb1977:
I never clamed to have the "highest score" but i am very satisfied with my phone and its speed and stability. Like I said earlier, im trying to get feedback on what everyone else is using as far as ROMs and Kernels to try and compare.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
I agree that Venum's rom is awesome fast, and sips battery. Cheers :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iSaint:
Looks man its okay if a devloper includes it in their op to appeal people to use their ROM and when people post in with their home screens in the screen shot thread but every week we have another thread created just to show off a quadrant score that doesn't mean crap and every week it amounts to the same crap figured people would stop this crap by now
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
Meh, Im too lazy to download quadrant from the market again. We did this already in a few older threads.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shiftr182:
Any of you remember back in the Moment days when Noobnl posted that 10,000,000 or something on SDX? I think it was Noobnl, it might have been Meatcurtains, I dunno... he hacked the app, or the i/o process, or something...pretty funny.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] il buono:
A phone that fast would rip a hole in the space-time continuum.

Sorry, it's the nerd in me :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gedster314:
And in the end, its just a phone and his 6000+ score doesn't even get him a cup of generic, recycled coffee ground coffee.
