I enjoy posting, and have taken some tough hits along the way, but have also been able to post some jabs at others that came at me when things proved to be as stated just not when stated. Eso is amazing and always good for a laugh as well as sound advice, Tray well, he's Tray and loyalty is one of his strengths. Sextape has moved on, and soon I'll be adding, but not leaving E4GT. going to dual dev for E4GT as well as collaborate with Rujelus22 and dev for the SGS3 due to capability to provide the device for Ruj!

I've enjoyed this thread. I've learned a lot while I've spent way too much time focused only on it, instead of exploring the rest of the forums. Hopefully closing it will give me a chance to pollute the rest of the forum, LOL! But in all seriousness, through this thread, and through all of you, I've gained a new respect for, and understanding of, my phone. It's been nice to have a place to BS around and learn at the same time, and I thank you all for it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Yeah, I don't think any noon announcement is coming. Don't get your hopes too high.

But let's say it does. What does that change? Sure source gets released, but we already have the latest ics build for the epic touch. And if it was never released, you don't really need source to do work on the kernel. It just makes things easier for the developers.

After it is released nothing will change .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
Ouch! Sorry man. Not familiar with that variant. Was the update meant for that phone?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] The Root:
Stable custom kernels are desired. That does change things.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_exactly:
Well, just in case I don't get a chance to say it later. Thanks for keeping it fun.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ebuc:
why would this thread get closed if we don't know if ff18 is the last leak or not?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DCRocks:
Just wanted to say thanks to all those that took the risks and abuse to bring the community the info on the updates.

THANK YOU!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs2011:
I'm confused as to why this thread is going to be closed as well. Where are we supposed to discuss this topic until the OTA arrives?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gershee:
in before lock. its been real. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Omar04 had started the closure idea because they believe at noon today that there will be an announcement on the official ics update. That is all...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs2011:
oh wow! well, hopefully that announcment actually comes.

Im not buying into any announcement. Ill just patiently wait.

I'm with the other guy too; was that a troll? Sprint isn't good at deadlines.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
Yea theyll prolly just release it without notice. How about were getting ics!! At some point.. Lol now theres a fact lol

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH No!!!!!

Don't even start that yet! lol

FYI even Sprints EVO 3D is getting the ICS shaft, other carriers EVO 3Ds are getting it already. So maybe there's a lover's quarrel between Sprint and Samsung that's causing the delays?

Back to EL29

Can't figure out this Airave/Wifi issue and I know it worked in GB and I believe earlier ICS leaks. I swear it is further messing with things as I seem to have to put it into Airplane mode a lot to get service back, especially after leaving the office.

Also, the Tap to Re-connect or whatever goes on with Facebook app is annoying. Don't know if that is an ICS issue or Facebook, but frustrating non the less.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elwood:
The tap to reconnect is a Facebook issue. All Android phones are experiencing it.

There's a launch party for the galaxy s3 in New York/NJ today.

Rumor has it that Jelly Bean will launch a new featue called Mind Actions. It is similar to Voice Actions but it listens to your thoughts instead of your voice. It is still in beta though because the male testers' phones keep opening porn sites at inopportune times. Anyways, it is to compete against Siri.

AT&T just released ICS for their S2. msg was tweeted 3 hours ago.

Now how about Sprint get on the ball here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
So who here is smart enough to let's say theoretically hack Samsung and get some source files or code or whatever it is we need. :) Now I did say theoretically. LOL

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
There's is 4.0.3. Ours will be 4.0.4, and for all we REALLY know, Sprint could have sent the build back for complete re-working. It's highly unlikely, but a possibility.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
T-989 source dropped fairly quickly after official ICS release - will keep an eye out for i777 source as it isn't out yet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krisI0N:
Well it's three here, none as far as I know lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard220:
Well nothing from sprint but just over 3 hours ago AT&T did announce that ICS is now avail to their S2's. That would have made it about noon time EST.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Att had their update rolling out last week, then stopped due to issues with kies on Friday. Not a shocker that they'd restart today. The articles thought they would have resumed over the last weekend.

And since no one trusts what's said in this tread any more - Article posted Here on the 21st... Or Or Here on the 22d - to support what it is I'm telling you.. :victory:

Wow, launch parties must be REALLY important to you...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
I was just thinking they really need to drop this soon because we are turning into some cranky little *****es. lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Haha. That's funny as hell. Really they do need to go ahead and release it. Its been a few months of leaks and I don't see any reason why they couldn't have had it done already. Look at a comparison. A Dev on XDA can take a build and solve issue after issue and have a damn near complete ROM inside a month. That's with them working on it a few hours a day. These guys at sprint/Samsung have all day every day Mon Fri to work on this stuff and they make very little progress between each release. Honestly I say Samsung needs to turn source over to our devs and they would have had it done two months ago. lol

Sent using an AOKP'd ET4G courtesy of Times_Infinity!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
Totally agree!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
You aren't really giving Google/Samsung enough credit. The devs here perfect what they build from scratch. They have teams of maybe 50 testers to help debug, XDA has a community in the millions (granted not all are on the same equipment). Samsung/Google have to work inside a structured corporate environment with guidelines and constraints. The only constraints the devs have here are their imaginations and technical ability. Sprint really has nothing to do with the process other than making requests and approval of the final product. All things considered, I think Samsung/Google do a hell of a job just to update annually, and I'm thankful we have such an awesome team here that can refine it for us.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
Thbbbbbtttttt!!!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nhfi:
I totally agree also!! but we still have at least 90 more pages of this thread before OTA or Source can drop ;)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
I personally hope they do not drop this soon and spend more time working out the obvious issues. If your grab the latest leak and and do a side by side next to EL29 you will see that EL29 is way more polished and feature complete. For the most part everything just works. In the ICS leaks there are still very obvious and noticeable bugs. Wifi, Battery, certain apps wont install and you have to do the unmount sd card trick, some users report lagy UI in ICS. And a ton more. They really need to take there time and get this **** right cause most likely this will be the last update we will ever get officially for our device.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
If they release as is, they'll still do patch updates, much like they did to get to EL29.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
Thbbbbbtttttt!!!!! To you too, sir! LOL! :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Oh I understand what you're saying. And I agree to an extent. But the guys at Samsung are supposed to be the best of the best. I have a hard time understanding why it takes them a month or more to fix an exchange issue or a driver issue. That's what I'm saying. I am thankful for what they do. It just seems to me that there is something else going on that's delaying a release. Google and Samsung work hand in hand. Samsung is one of the leading partners of the open handset alliance. So as far as making android run on this device they have both Google and Samsung techs working to make this happen. At the same time other carriers are getting OTA. I get those are GSM and are a little easier to code and that sprint is cdma/wimax and that takes some special efforts. I guess what I'm really saying is that its not that its been so long and so many leaks have been released. Its that in between those leaks little progress is made. Maybe Samsung should take a lesson from our devs. I mean they did hire Mr Klondike the founder of CM. Maybe that's why they started working with XDA like they did.

Ah well. We'll get it when we get it. And I know I'm wrong a few points. Opinions are like ass holes. Everyone has one and most stink :) I have just been a Samsung user for years and I know how they are when it comes to updates. It doesn't matter the carrier. They delay when they can. But its all good. At least we know we are getting it. That's a hell of a lot more then what other devices are getting.

Sent using an AOKP'd ET4G courtesy of Times_Infinity!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
Do we really have confirmation that they are working with XDA? Last info I got, the higher ups in Korea were furious about the leaks and attempted to plug it. Luckily there were others of like mind willing to share. The Microsoft Exchange Server bug, from what I understand, only effects 2010 Service Pack 1 users. Sounds like some companies IT staff need to get their collective asses in gear and update their software. I'm all for delays if they mean fewer bugs. I can even understand Sprint wanting to disable the disable option for some of the apps mentioned in FF11's(?) change log. Some of that stuff should not be tinkered with by people who have no clue what they are doing, but will do it anyway. Could you imagine obey of your parents going into those options and fooling around? I would sooner trust it to an 8 year old. They would have a better grasp on the technology. Hell, I'm surprised I know what I'm doing. I'm getting old, LOL!

But I get what you're saying, and agree with quite a bit. I don't think our viewpoints diverge too far from the end point.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Oh I don't know for sure if they're working with XDA. Just the rumors I had heard floating around. I wouldn't doubt that they check these boards occasionally to see what going on and what issues people are having though. But as far as actually working with them. Only Samsung could say for sure.

Yeah some of those features shouldn't be there for the exact reason you stated. As for those features they don't bother me. I would rather run AOSP then stock any day. But that's me :)

Maybe now that a few of the SGS 2's have received their OTA updates. Samsung can add more focus to the ones that haven't and we will get ours soon. Two reasons I want it is for source mainly and so that devs can continue with development without having to worry about the next leak coming in five days and they have to redo their work. That **** sucks haveint to update a ROM once a week just because their is a new leak out. But all is good. I think we both have some valid points and I want to commend you on being able to have a debate and it not turn into a pissing match. You don't see that often. :)

I can confirm that several are in talks but are unable to post most of the conversation - and they're some heavy hitters. Keep an eye for posts on the eMMC discussion threads (both Note and E4GT) and sometimes you can catch a nugget if you look in the right places.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MeWarning:
What ROM are you running? Most of the stuff you listed have been fixed. I don't even know why you listed the battery as a bug. There's never going to be a perfect initial release nor will there ever be a version that works perfectly on every phone. The need for the sd card trick has been fixed for awhile and nowadays you only see it on custom kernels. Sfhub has been working to narrow that one down.

Phantom ics....and i mention these because other people mentiom them as well. And when you flash back to gb all these issues dont seem to exist running the exact same setup with exact same apps.

I wish people wouldnt get offended if you dont praise something just cause its new or cause other people do. There is way to much entitlement going around like they wrote the damn OS
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
To stay reasonably on topic, that's something else that needs to be considered about Samsung/Google and our devs. Our devs work specifically on these device variants, while Samsung/Google have a several variants of one device as well as the variants of all other Android devices to worry about. My point is they aren't just focusing on how 4.0.4 is going to work on the E4GT, but on the Note, and tablets, etc.

I am running FF11 and it is just terrible.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
It's been out for a while man. I think on the dev section though. Ur right it's not in the beginning but if u can't find it in dev section just Google FF18 no data.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
See, that's the thing. Reading all of the oem support articles on topic, Papa ;), we should have been in line with all other oems.

Google denies oem influence on releases but that topic could span all other carriers.

Not saying ff18 isnt the final (with tweaks for sprint variant) just saying that the silence is a tad overwhelming.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:

I just decided to go with Blu Kuban as I am worried Sprint will make us keep bloatware in the future with source.

So far my only complaints are the following:

-copy and paste can be confusing

--selecting multiple words is cumbersome

-scrolling is a little klunky

-And I know it is somewhere on its developing post and I will be looking after this post, but I want a 4G toggle in my pull down and I am having a hard time figuring that one out.

My exchange does work, and the 4G/reboot problem was fixed. Maybe we

Other than that... Sweet.

I decided to use the TSF Shell launcher- as I love how it has the collapsible side dock drawer for the basic functions. Leaves a lot of space open on my screens. Now if they make it to where you can put it on the right side of the screen it would be even better.

Would be nice to see what bloatware will be in source and if the cut/paste, selecting characters, and scrolling will change.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
The possible announcement was for the version of AT&T which was true. What happened is I wanted to do a small experiment with a baseless rumor and watch it ran like crazy in seconds like viruses. Then one ends up being hated or loved by those rumors turn out to be false or true. :laugh:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
Exactly what are you expecting Sprint to say? "Hold your horses! We're working' on it!" We've seen that progress is being made. That's all Sprint would really be able to tell us. It's not a batch of cookies with a set amount of time in the oven. There are setbacks and complications that keep deadlines from being met. I'd rather they address as many issues as they can now rather than later.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
I'm good with hold your horses, in fact I'd be good with just about anything but the silence. I refuse to believe that, at this stage in the game (leaks), they don't have any idea when it will drop. I mean they could at least take their worst guess scenario and add a month to it.

They run the risk of customers defecting due to poor update support. I mean even if I were planning on buying the SG3 I'd pause and wonder if it was going to be like this waiting for jelly bean to hit.

Here's the thing, I'm one of Sprint's biggest supporters but even I have to call foul on the way things have gone over the past year. Doing away with Premier program, early upgrade, upping the activation fee, poor service, slow roll out of any promised improvements and really poor update support with their devices.

What I'm saying is they could give us something instead of just focusing on taking everything away.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Worked well i must say! Just as long as you saw every post. ;)

Im still hoping for this month for the drop. :D
