Hand firmly grasping hat? Good.*The Wall Street Journal*is reporting on quite the bombshell today, noting that Google is about to cause its carrier partners in the States all sorts of grief -- indirectly, of course. Just weeks after placing its heralded Galaxy Nexus*on sale for $399unlocked, the report states that said move is only the beginning of a new initiative. Likely to be formally revealed at Google I/O, the mega-corp is planning to partner with a variety of OEMs (rather than just*one at a time) in order to have up to five Pure Google (read: Nexus) devices available at once. Better still, the whole stable will ship with Android 5.0 (Jelly Bean) and will be sold directly from Google in unlocked form to consumers in America, Europe and Asia.The move is significant in a myriad ways. For one, more unlocked Nexus devices means more choice when it comes to carrier selection. Furthermore, the move is likely to quell fears that certain partners may have about Google making Motorola Mobility its favorite after a*$12 billion acquisition. Not surprisingly, Google's not commenting on the matter, but sources "close" to the situation say that the company's hoping to have the 5.0 cadre on sale by Thanksgiving -- you know, just in time for Black Friday and the looming holiday shopping season. We're all guessing that this will address the growing "app situation" head-on; by making a push to eliminate carrier-infused bloatware (while also providing early Android OS access to more partners), we're hoping that the whole "skinning" dilemma is addressed, too.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BrandoKC:
It would be nice if OEM's went the route of offering apps in the market to skin your device. HTC could offer widgets and a Sense home replacement for HTC devices, Samsung could offer a TW experience, and Moto could offer the abortion that is Blur. Better yet they could charge for them and offer them to anyone on any device.

I know some of the deeply integrated aspects would be unattainable through market apps, but it would be much easier to quell the fragmentation argument. Take at least one arrow out of Apple's quiver.

Plus let's be honest. We're not talking Cupcake. Android's UI has grown up a lot over the past few years. They should be complimenting the Android experience, not trying to smother it.

No I meant the led is lit while charging but doesn't pulse when notification comes in. It works this was in gb. Your issue is probably related to the same fix though.

are any of the ICS builds fully functional yet? I tried skimming the first page of each ICS ROM but none of the developers listed any issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Most of the TouchWiz ROMs are for the most part. The AOSP ROMs have a few issues here and there. If you're looking for stable and mostly functional then TouchWiz is the way to go for now. If you don't mind a few little bugs here and there then try out CM9, AOKP, or Codename.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
The developers get the leaks and post them, they are all fully functional within the last 2 months just minor issues really.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
Didn't AT&T already buy them? Did it not go through?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
No FE14 yet i see and according to Omar04 there will be another release. I guess I will hang tight then unless he is just full of it.

Antitrust issues came to light, I think att lost 4 billion in the collapse of the deal too

Is there any other device that gets as many leaks as e4gt? we are lucky that samsung and sprint are really trying to bang this thing out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] satur9ine:
I agree. Wish we could see what all changes in these builds. Most of the time to us it appears that nothing is changing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] erasable:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] reddragon72:
Well we were supposed to stop with FE09 as the OTA. But Sprint has a new plan and that is to update E4GT to 4.0.4 and be done with it so they can EOL the phone in July right before the GS3 hits the shelves. The reasoning is they have stated that they are carrying to many Android phones and to have two generations on the shelf at the same time with the same price point and similar looking specs confuses the customers. So they want the E4GT updated completely then axed. What is left in the stores will sell out and no new will come in. They reported lots of confusion with the Epic 4G and Epic 4G Touch and those two were totally different, but the GS2 and GS3 will be very similar in specs, both dual core, both roughly the same screen size and same OS, memory, camera's. So if one is 499 and new one is 599 but with the same looking specs then people will write off the new one and pay 100 bucks less for the older model and Sprint doesn't want that.

So Omar04 is probably right. I think 2 or three more will be it. Especially since several people are already saying FE16 has smoothed out a lot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_exactly:
Thanks Reddragon. I wondered what was up. I have been told twice now that they thought they we done.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Hopefully they are at least narrowing down the last few bugs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kali323:
That will be dumb if this phone goes eol in less than year. Still the best phone on sprint (until evo lte officially comes out and gs3 and future phones come out).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wraith404:
I don't know, but we can consider ourselves lucky that Google just reversed the deauthrization limit to Play Music authorized devices, since they are duplicating the authorization every time we wipe data...

If anyone that uses Play Music wasn't aware of this, go to the Music web site, settings, look down to Authorized Devices section. Get rid of your dupes now while they are still being generous.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_exactly:
I think the lead engineers name is Falkor. That would explain the build process.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] probowler2009:
Any links to upload to FE16 yet might as well get it over with since fe14 might have something wrong.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamesey:
Lol they should come here and take note of all the bugs before they think they are done. 4.0.3 was much closer to bug free. Now we got some old bugs back plus new ones. At least a few more builds before ota can be considered.

For starters you can flash the no data version. That way you lose no data.

If you must wipe then download titanium backup and backup your apps.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ArgyleDX:
I've been noticing a very annoying audio bug that crept in around FE07 (and still seems to be present on FE14)...

It seems to affect at least two apps (the preinstalled Vlingo and Waze) and causes the audio to cut off prematurely. You can reproduce this by simply holding the search key down (and using the Voice Talk app) or launching Vlingo through the Bluetooth handsfree button, and listening to the voice prompts. I'd chalk this up to a Vlingo problem if it weren't for the fact that the turn by turn directions in Waze are also screwed up (note that the text-to-speech in Google Navigation is unaffected).

I've been flashing the NODATA versions but since I haven't seen anyone complaining about this I thought it was just me. I tried flashing the clean version of FE14 and it still occurs with nothing installed. :(

Anyone else notice this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Wait did I miss something?! The Evo is delayed? The manager at Radio Shack has been offering me 2 week early upgrade so I can get it but I just don't know about HTC. I have never owned one and some friends are telling me to hold off at least when its first launched. Sorry for going off topic. I have never been this undecided about what to do with an upgrade before

Not screen time, screen longevity as in lifespan of the screen.

Right -- the penile (...err... pentile) screen trades off a wee bit of visual resolution to try to mitigate the limited lifetime of the organic compounds used in OLED based displays, particularly the tendency of the blue (B) component of the RGB pixels to break down.
