I can't believe how much work Sprint and Samsung put into these updates. That is a while lot of test builds. This thing should be rock solid by the time a OTA is released
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Calkulin:
That's because they had a deadline and now the OTA is past due, so Samsung is really trying to get it finished
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] neudof:
Samsung past due on an update.....

I don't believe you, that could never happen!

:D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kj13569:
So has this always been this way? because I remember in the OG epic and moment that they only leaked the final few builds.

Seems like now we have all the leaks they make...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ttieder:
Is there a difference with fc22
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_exactly:
I would assume so. I know of one pretty embarrassing error they need to fix already. I say we are still at least 2 weeks out from the OTA.

Dialing. Someone got a little over eager and stuck an extra *l* in there so it reads, dialling.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Ota is pretty far off. Assuming it'll come after the Nexus release is a safe assumption. all carriers usually do that to boost sales. I won't have the epic touch by ota release lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
What are you going to replace it with, the Nexus?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingdazy:
I wish I was that hopeful. perhaps 2 weeks until a build is reached that will become our OTA.

I am also a pessimist at this point. ;) ignore me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingdazy:
boo. hiss.

"I just flew in from China, and boy, are my arms tired!" :rolleyes:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Yep yep, I already have a buyer for the epic touch lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eaponte23:
that misspelling has been there before in one of the recent leaks. I'm positive I've seen it before
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
It's been in all of them
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
I don't want the Nexus but despite initially deciding the Note is just too big, I can't say with certainty I wouldn't make the leap if it ever comes to Sprint however I'm holding out hope that the official ICS update will keep me satisfied with the Epic Touch, for now. lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_exactly:
I wouldn't waste an update on the nexus. At least not with what I know. Not unless they have some nexus 2 that no one knows about.

The next 8 weeks will be good.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iSaint:
Waste update xD

Sprint never takes away my updates 3 days after I got the Touch they gave me another upgrade Im sitting on 4 Upgrades

you should call them. In my experiences they reset them pretty easy got them to do it a few times now ...

Calls

877-775-4886

Sprint rep will answer :

You-"Hello sir/ma'am I was wondering if you could possibly reset my upgrade status"

Them- "Alright sir hold on let me check blah blah blah"

Them-"Okay sir we were able to reset your upgrade it should show up on your account in blah blah blah ..."

But seriously it's a chance .. but its worth it right

Tips:

1. Be a kiss ass ex. "No problem sir.." "Take your time"

2. Talk with a good tone (Im serious)

3. Right now I would tell them I really wanted to have an upgrade to be able to purchase the Galaxy nexus (You don't have to buy it just say that ...)

Worked for me a few times so its worth a shot ...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bsmoove386:
Oh ok so in a nice tone say

" Excuse me miss ***** please can you reset my upgrade"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iSaint:
Was a joke :p

I'll make it more serious if you want.

Edit: There it's more serious
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Yeah make it serious ;).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bsmoove386:
I know i was jus playing a long lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bbedward:
I got them to reset mine after I returned the evo 3d and I never had one to use on the 3d in the first place.

If you don't have an account in good standing they won't even talk to you about it I know from my friends experience

Wimax to LTE could be good leverage to get an upgrade reset. Although some reps will offer to cancel your service before resetting the upgrade
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Nexus is worth it. You'll be waiting til September for the Sgs3. HTC evo x will be June, but that's an HTC device lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Well my epic is still up for sale again. The guy backed out unfortunately
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
$50. :)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I think a key to getting an early upgrade is having your account without any late payments for 12 months. If you did have a couple, it may take more kisassery. I think my Epic/Nexus line is up for upgrade in June or July but I will still probably wait to see what the S3 is going to look like and the specs etc
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
I can't get an upgrade for one of my lines if my life depended on it. The account's never had a late payment since Jan 1999.

EDIT: The line I'm referring to is eligible for an upgrade in September.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wcr84:
I talked to a guy at my local sprint store this morning. I dunno how to take, but he said to the best of there knowledge they was looking at a may 1st thru may 15 th window and he actually said we wont have it before may 1st. This kinda makes since considering it would give them 15 to 30 days of galaxy nexus sales as onley ics device.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iSaint:
Kinda steep but I'll up it to $51

PLUS I'll pay for shipping

... do you like fu*king boys b/c that's what you're doing to me with this price.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Pheno.menon:
Nexus is so not worth it.. why would you downgrade from the epic touch? Most of my friends have nexuses and they like my phone better.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wcr84:
I personally dont like the nexus. Verizons has a little lag at times and my epic feels better in my hand. Maby the sprint version will be better
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
Got outbidded. :(

I'd jump up to $52 but shipping too much.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] neudof:
I am on a sprint employee plan, and Sprint won't even offer new devices to team members until the supply/demand for the device stabilizes.

So by the time the Nexus is available to team members, everyone else will be about ready to get in line for the sgs3.....

Unless you plan on buying outright or are the store Android advocate.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I really like the look of the GNex and the multi color notification light at the bottom, screen, etc but I have been paying attention to the forum and people are bragging when they are getting 3 or 4 hours of screen on time on wifi and they are unfervolting and toggling airplane mode to do it. That would be a big step back for me...I just don't know. I think patience for the S3 is the call here. I always get the urge when new tech comes out (especially LTE) but damn I don't see very many positive battery reports.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Lmao that's funny because that's about double the screen time for me lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
I just thought of something, Korey if you're leaving us for the Nexus who can we count on to constantly ask "where's the tar?". ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Wait a second Korey, are you telling me that you can't get 4 hours of screen time on wifi? I am getting over 5 everyday without undervolt or underclock. Now on 3g or 4g those numbers change of course
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Hahaha, yeah. Fortunately the GALAXY Nexus uses images, so I can ask where's the img?!?!

---------- Post added at 02:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:26 PM ----------

Well I haven't gone a full day on nothing but WiFi, but an average day I can get about 2, maybe 3 hours of screen time total using Caulkin's EL29 Battery tweaked ROM. I've had my battery tested and it checked out too :-\

That's why I wanted the GALAXY Nexus. Figured I would get better battery life with that
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
We need a Whosdaman comeback with those full stock tars!

Edit..Korey, out of curiosity, do you use Social Hub and those apps tied to it? I tried using that a few times and it crushed my battery. Also are you a heavy G+ or Facebook user? I don't use those much and they are not battery friendly

Edit 2. .I go talking crap on the GNex and I get a tiny scratch on my Nexus screen from being in my pocket! One of those grain of sand scratches.. I better shut up before my Nexus self destructs! Lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Hahaha, yeah I a very heavy Twitter and Facebook user. That could be a major problem. (Not so much G+, it kinda died.) I don't use any of the social hub apps, in fact I believe they were all stripped out in Caulk's ROM.

I wish Whosdaman could make a comeback, though he is getting his job back at Sprint for the Summer since he is too broke to afford housing here in Gainesville for those 4 months lmao.

Turns out my Sprint Rewards Me is all jacked up, my card has been stolen (just reported it), I can't access Rewards Me Plus because it says I haven't earned $50, but I have. I just changed my email from my old work email to my personal email, so that might have conflicted it since they are two different sites. I'm going to email them now about it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] master acehole:
Hahahahahahha thats funny lol I got ten hrs stock one....ONCE
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
The key to getting Sprint to do anything is saying you are going to cancel your account. Dan Hesse will come to your house and perform oral sex on you personally of you threaten to cancel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Are you serious? I am not doing anything different with my setup other than getting rid of Social Hub and the apps tied to it and replacing with inverted apps

Battery life is great so far on the FC15 and FC18 releases of the AOSPMod ICS rom. Loving it so far.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
"Ooo NoZzZz, Sprint is going bankrupt?! Dey sux newayz. Imma go 2 Verizon. But imma call up sprint and tell em to give me a free upgrade so i can gets wutz i deserve!"

That's what half the people on XDA and the internet sound like. The other half just sit back and take the pain because of people ripping off Sprint constantly.

Sprint introduced instant mail-in rebates on all devices, people abused it and they took away. Sprint allowed 1 year upgrades, people still didn't think that was enough and abused it, now they took it away. Provided 4G the fastest, nope not good enough. People complained about it being too slow and that WiMax sucked. Well They sent Clearwire's stock down the tubes along with Sprint's stock. Cheapest plans around, lowest fees, and turning around the customer service 10 fold, nope not good enough.

People demanded more, even though Sprint was the ONLY ONE to do any of these things, but it was never good enough. So people kept abusing Sprint, and making them lose more and more money, and constantly complain about them, driving down their stock prices, while they were trying to do their best in taking care of their customers and try to take a lead in the industry. Instead, their own customers shoot themselves in the foot. You know what's next? Unlimited data. People will complain about it not being enough, well Sprint won't be able to afford it much longer, especially with people using every malicious way possible to extort money from Sprint.

"Imma cancel if you don't give me free stuff." Really? Kicking a carrier while he's down. You think Verizon would do that? Or AT&T? Hell no. They kick your ass off the network and not give two craps. Sprint needs their customers, and rely on them to make money. Right now, they are relying on their loyal customers to stick with them for right now so they can stay afloat. But of course, you have bottom dwellers who are trying to use every way possible to not give the very carrier that provides you service money by threatening to cancel your service? Really? How low can you get...

And to the people roaming non-stop, congratulations, you are the biggest hurt to Sprint. using 2 to 5 GB's of roaming data kills them. Roaming cost Sprint an enormous amount of capital, fortunately they are going to change this all soon with the Nextel Sprint tower merger. But, I really hope they kick you all off. If you like Verizon's speeds so much, then why did you even get Sprint in the first place??? You had to have tested your service before hand. HELL, Sprint gave you 30 days to try it, money back guaranteed...o wait, that's not around anymore because people abused that too. Now their down to the federal required 14 day policy. Sucks, and it sucks worse for the loyal customers who actually enjoy their Sprint service.

So thank you and that's the end of my rant. I'm getting offline for awhile now. Sigh...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Sprint has always treated me great. I keep insurance on both lines and have never had a problem with anything. When I am home my 4g is rock solid and customer service and tech support have been great to me. I try to pay it back when I can though. My Nexus had moisture damage and the tech ordered me a new one instead of making me go through insurance once he saw I had my ET4G as well so I bought a screen protector and a case from the store. I have no complaints to make about Sprint but I am almost never on 3g.

Things are moving along very nicely for us according to the Sprint site. Looks like we are now on version FB15. This is the fourth build we currently know of. Be sure to thank user nightlybuild for the find.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard Knight:
Looks like they're really going at it with this build. Makes me NOT want a leak at this point. If they're putting up that many builds, it seems that they're running into a lot of bugs that they're trying to squash. I'm more interested in keeping an eye on the rdfs at this point
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackroseMD1:
While I agree with you to a point, I'd also like to see what they've gotten done so far. A leak at this point could probably make a pretty good base rom for devs, and some of the devs here might actually be able to squash some of the bugs themselves.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
this is pretty much what I've said as well there was 3 builds until today now 4. I'm actually happy there is not a leak yet my guess is it's not ready for it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tokuzumi:
At least we know it's being worked on. It's not a random statement from Samsung saying they will update the GS2 line of phones. We actually have update version numbers, and know there have been multiple. So, a group of somebodies have been hard at work.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Yeah, CNET did an article back in the summer where they explained in detail the behind the scenes update process (with the manufacturers and carriers as there sources). The carriers order the updates, the manufacturers build them, the manufacturers test them, they then send them to the carrier for testing, which accepts or sends the update back to the manufacturers if they find bugs. If sprint is testing, it means the update is in the final stage of the process.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Apk07:
Maybe this is a testament to them still being in testing:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
I prefer samsung phones, well just samsung products on general. Never had a problem with a samsung product.

However assuming that the galaxy nexus is the same as the Verizon version then the Epic touch has a faster CPU/GPU combo.

HTC phones are good top, but just because it is supposed to have a quad core cpu doesnt mean it will be screaming fast.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
My last source inside sprint just told me that the nexus is old news. And that I should wait til June.

He stated that HTC will be releasing multiple lte devices, not just the evo
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamesey:
If jelly bean comes out q3 or q4 doesn't that mean fresh nexus? Based on past nexus releases oct is the month. Whether it's on sprint that's another story
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
Its going to be a dual core for the United Stated and quad core for international.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Well then a fail to see how it is going to any better than the epic touch and galaxy nexus then.

Both phones dont bat an eyelash at anything currently available software wise.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Its A15 dual core. Its even better than quad core
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Nexus doesn't come out in October. Galaxy nexus came out in December. And sprint will get all the nexus devices, the question is when will they get it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Better than what quadcore? I doubt its better than my intel 2500k in my PC!

It may be better than the current quadcore arm cpus. But tomorrow or the next day or maybe next month there will be a faster arm based quad cpu for phones.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
No, A9 quad can't beat A15 dual
