I was in the first round of releases for EL29, so I'm hoping for the same this time as well. If I can disable bloatware, the desire for root takes a backseat until emmc has a confirmed workaround and CWM is built in so I can make backups. We may or may not see source released first considering the rush job they're trying to put on this. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it were simultaneous.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
Are you so sure? What triggers a scan for an update? Checking via "Update Android" doesn't unless the update has been pushed to the phone. It doesn't do any searching for one. I'm trying any avenue I can come up with. Play Store seems as good a place to start as any.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Hero_Guy:
Can someone enlighten me on how checking the play store may prompt the update?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] limeaid:
It won't
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
It likely won't.

Allow me to explain my misguided rationale. I'm trying to keep data flowing to and from my phone. Keep the modem awake so that when the update pushes out, my phone won't be off in la la land. I doubt anything but sprint pushing the update will trigger the update.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cob11341:
Seeing from the current FE22 leak, I can tell the final build should (more likely could) be done by Friday. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
The final build is done. We're just waiting on Sprint's stamp of approval and to push out the OTA
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
Don't expect sprints approval anytime soon, maybe later this week, then an announcement about the update, then a early to mid June OTA.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackroseMD1:
I'd expect a leak before then though. Also, with Sextape putting the unrooted tar for the last OTA up, I'm guessing he knows something is coming soon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thirdcoastraised:
*****UPDATE*****UPDATE*****UPDATE*****

Sprint received the OTA sometime over the weekend, due to the numerous issues that were fixed, reappeared, etc. etc. etc. Samsung has agreed NOT TO RELEASE SOURCE until Sprint completes their own testing which is already underway. Sprint also still stands by their original statement that it would take them roughly 10 days after testing is complete to even begin phase 1 of the rollout with all 9.3 million E4GT devices upgraded within 2 weeks of the initial rollout. And I quote "as we, along with our close counterparts at Samsung prepare for the largest rollout of Android 4.0, we must consider that we also are preparing for the biggest new device release if 2012, with the confirmation that the American version of the Samsung Galaxy SIII will contain the same Exynos quad core processor as it's European counterpart, making this phone truly groundbreaking, it is our desire at Sprint Nextel to ensure that we not allow this event to be tainted by any issues pertaining to the update of the Epic 4G Touch to Android 4.0.4. Therefore we will be conducting our own testing of this OS on the device and ask that while not obligated to do so, that Samsung Corporation, in also wanting a successful update and release almost simultaneously, would refrain from publishing the open source code until our tests are complete." It goes on to mention prior issues with both Froyo and Gingerbread, and the hope that avoiding issues with ICS would also benefit both companies with the coming release of Android 5.0 during Q4.

In short, OTA is now in the hands of Spirit, the board at Samsung had scheduled a early morning meeting at which it is commonly expected they will agree to hold open source, but will also implement a "no longer than" time frame. As more information becomes available, I will pass it on.:o

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
You, sir, are the man! Thank you for the update. I had suspicions about them wanting source held until release, but I was hoping a release of source would force Sprint's hand in releasing the OTA and we'd see it sooner.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cob11341:
I am confused, so does that mean we MAY see a leak before they officially send it to all the E4GT's? :o
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ascertion:
Exynos for Sprint variant? Did I read that correctly?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cob11341:
I believe that is correct, as it may be compatible with LTE. Or so I've heard and read from Samsung.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] limeaid:
I really hope this is true, though I'm skeptical
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thirdcoastraised:
Samsung is expected to tell Sprint formally that they WILL publish source no later than next Wednesday, which would force Sprint to start roll out THAT DAY or not have time to accomplish what they have continued to PROMISE that the E4GT would be upgraded prior to GS3 launch, and best believe once Samsung says what they're gonna say tomorrow the remaining big 3 U.S carriers will be all eyes on Sprint, hoping to be able to pounce

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sakujou:
Wait so some of you got an OTA update of ICS? Is it leaked anywhere and any bugs with it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
Just to clarify, is that next Wednesday as in 06/06/2012?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thirdcoastraised:
Very doubtful that the OTA will leak, Didn't would have to do it themselves. We will see source before OTA though that's almost guaranteed. GB source was published 4 days prior to first OTA, remember, if you choose to Odin back to GB to accept the OTA, YOU WILL LOSE ROOT, at least for a couple of minutes until one of our genius XDA developers figure out the way around the plug that had been put in to stop rooting, much like the EL29 plug. Personally, I don't want or need OTA, I'LL wait for the .tar or sfhub's Odin and update manually

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
No one has received ICS OTA because it isn't ready yet. They are saying we might start seeing it in a week or so.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kali323:
EK02 ota zip and EL29 tar both leaked before source was published. Source did drop before ota was officially pushed though. I bet the tar will either leak the day source is released or at least before the ota is pushed
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thirdcoastraised:
No one has gotten it yet, and don't think for a second Sprint is gonna leak it. As for the Exynos, with At&t already announcing they will go with the Snapdragon again, and only dual core at that, Sprint would have to be more Epicly stupid than we all believe already NOT to keep the quad Exynos. EvoLTE is only running dual, and Sprint took a major blow due to Apple and their crying games, don't expect to see iPhone 5 in Sprint stores, and Sprint needs a flagship now that EVOLTE is performing so poorly sales wise, what better phone than another Samsung Galaxy S series? HTC won the import battle, but Apple drew first blood and sadly, it may prove fatal for the already wobbly manufacturer

aah I see so its basically done though since its been handed to sprint right?

The previous posts made it sound like people received it over ota but it was pulled lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dcaplinger76:
This is really getting exciting, especially since I have upgrades on 6/1/12, 7/1/12, and 8/1/12

Omg. Just what I been hoping for . HD screen with exynos and Mali 400 !!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] djjosh:
Wouldnt it be funny if the official emmc fix is a new tab that says "Format All"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Becoming:
I wouldn't mind an S4 processor at all, but I think keeping the hardware as similar as possible worldwide has many advantages.

Very interested in finding out if this is true.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crzchn:
Have not really thought about it much yet, but I have a bunch of accessories a well. I will get back to you.

I hope the new SGS3 will truly be packing the exynos quad... now that troll who kept insisting it wasn't possible, can believe in time traveling as well lmao :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kasper19:
that being said ... I guess we won't see source until the middle of June at the earliest? booo .... :( guess I can stop refreshing this thread all the time. =p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
No, that being said, we'll see source 06/06/2012
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
Time travel is real. I move forward all of the time whether I want to or not.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
I've said this before, but the GS3 kinda scares me after watching Unpacked London. It's too smart of a smart phone. I don't necessarily want a spy in my pocket hearing what I hear and seeing what I see. *shrugs* Maybe I'm just becoming one of those privacy nuts in my old age.

GET OFF MY LAWN YOU YOUNG WHIPPER SNAPPERS!!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Don't worry galaxy siii just screams aosp! It will be the ultimate cm9 phone. You don't need all those extra Samsung apps. I'll probably stick with the galaxy sii e4gt for now because I am broke but if my financial situation improves I'll be all over the galaxy siii.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ascertion:
Well as much as I hope exynos, I'm sill not sure it'll have it until those official specs are posted. This is the Tegra 2 discussion all over again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
It can't be the exynos for one simple reason, no lte support. All the carriers will be getting a S4 variant of the sgs3 unfortunately
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Pheno.menon:
Hold on, SGSIII is going to have the quad core? Is this for real or just rumors

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Until someone gets their hands on one and does a tear down I would take everything as a rumour on what CPU is in the different galaxy siii variants.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ascertion:
Rumors.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ascertion:
I've heard there's a working lte enabled exynos chip out there. We'll see when Sprint announces the sgsiii.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackroseMD1:
That's what I was thinking...but the quad Exynos in Korea has LTE support. I really don't think that they could have whipped up that works in the U.S. this quickly, but you never know.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Well so far, we have already seen leaked benchmarks indicating the SPH-L710 has a S4 processor. We can hope all we want, but its most likely true.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Well after digging through the frameworks and systemuis for a few hours I can say this. Looks like the SGS3 will have the ability to have a touchwiz interface or a Google interface. I am finding multiple hdpix folders. one will have all the pngs for touchwiz, the other will have the google images. So like in systemui. One has the touchwiz battery and signal images along with the toggles and such, the other will have the google ICS battery and images. Like wise for a few other apks. Samsung said they was going to offer a more google experience on the upcoming sgs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackroseMD1:
So, it's going to be the same as it is on the E4GT? You can clear data from TWLauncher and use the AOSP launcher instead, or is it more than that?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ascertion:
Icons and pop up images, buttons and such. Much more.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Yeah, It looks as if it will be the whole interface. I got a system dump of the sgs3 and started looking through the apks. Looks as if there will be a option to disable touchwiz so to speak. More then the launcher but really the whole interface, Sammy had mentioned offfering this option. Looks like they may have actually done it.

Edit: Also didnt mean to go off topic. I meant to post this in another thread. Sorry.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackroseMD1:
Wow...that's pretty awesome. Could they actually be listening to the enthusiast community? :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ascertion:
To be honest, gingerbread for this phone has tons of aosp icons in it's framework, too. I think Samsung just takes the open source, throws in their twist, and leaves the unused images. That's what I got out of it. If you change a lot of XMLs, you can disable tw on any el29 based rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ArgyleDX:
Smells like uhh...wishful thinking to me.

(Honestly I would rather have the S4 than the Exynos in this case, but then I pretty much never play games on my phone and would take improved battery life every time.)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] That Future:
I know it's a little off topic and i know ICS won't allow scrollable wallpapers but does anyone know a work around? I'm on calks 1.6 ICS
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tt281gt:
I too miss this. So far nova or apex launcher don't help the issue
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Its a removal from Samsung rather than a ICS issue as the earlier builds had it.

I am on CM9A4 and get to see the scrolling wallpaper all day long. But yeah right before the end Apex/Nova i think worked still when TW did not and even that went away.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] That Future:
O wow didn't know that. That's pretty weak sauce. And yeah cm9 is nice i just deal with the nightly builds and all that jazz. Yeah I can confirm that apex does not work =/ I just hope Samsung or someone else finds a way to bring it back.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] That Future:
One more thing is there a way to make the wallpapers not look so zoomed on the home screen? seems like it zooms pretty close no matter how far I stretch the crop on the gallery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Quickpic from the market place work great
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mmark27:
Who cares what processor it has, will it have better than awful GPS? I just don't trust Samsung with GPS anymore. And that's why I'll be switching brands eventually.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] The Root:
I've heard this as well as I quietly await official word.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dcaplinger76:
Is there any word on when Sprint will announce anything?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tailsthecat3:
No.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_exactly:
It is possible for it to still be quad core. It is not uncommon for manufactures to change or update the hardware of a phone before it goes live. I personally saw a epic touch that had different hardware than the final released version. So, even though we have seen benchmarks for the L710 with dual core, a quad core could show up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ilostmypistons:
I dont know of a L710 bench thats been confirmed..... This is starting to feel like when Sprint/E4GT got the best US variant
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rgregg504:
Wasn't the og epic also the best variant of the galaxy s line. They're compensating for poor service:D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ilostmypistons:
Yup how are they gonna get anyone on their network... cheap unlimited and top end devices
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
Yeah, it's not ICS as plenty of tablets with ICS still have the scrolling wallpapers ...unless they're Samsung tablets.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard Knight:
Scrolling wallpapers were removed in EL29. It part of a patent infringement thing that Samsung had with apple. The suit was directly against Samsung so they're the only ones that had to remove it. But yes, it was removed in our last gingerbread build as well
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tmeader:
Yes, but in EL29 it was only TouchWiz that had them turned off. Other launchers worked just fine. That's no longer the case with the ICS ROMs (other than GoLauncher, that I'm aware of).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
Android software is required to keep ics resources throughout now so users can experience apps in the "true google way" should developers choose to use those resources
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
I'm a big fan of having the best variant of a device. Something to lord over my fellow tech geeks. I'm just crossing my fingers that, if, and it's a big if, I go with the GS3, it is LTE and Sprint has gone all in to provide the service to match the phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DirkBelig:
We must have different ideas of what works because since EL29 broke 3D LWPs (i.e. left-right moves no longer rotate objects) I've had zero success with any of the alternate launchers I've tried. I don't care about still images sliding back and forth; I want the LWPs that I've got, some of which I paid for, to work as designed without Apple demanding Samsung break them because they're butthurt over not being the only smartphone game in town.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tmeader:
Okay, well, that's different then. Scrolling LWPs and scrolling wallpaper are two different things. I've never bothered with LWP, so can't say either way. I do know that with EL29, LauncherPro, GoLauncher and ADW all scrolled static wallpapers just fine. With ICS, it only works with GoLauncher.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Let's not forget the UAprofile that also said the L710 would have the MSM8960.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] d_willia:
FWIW... I just saw that the rdf for FE26 is posted.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
This is baffling me. With Nova on my GNex the wallpaper scrolls just fine but not on this phone running FE22

Here we go again

http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-D710/FE26.rdf
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tmeader:
I assume it has to do with the Nexus being the "Google" phone and not technically a Samsung branded, TouchWiz, product. From what I've gathered, in the previous versions, they merely disabled the ability to scroll in TouchWiz itself. For whatever reason, in ICS, they decided to disable this ability globally instead of just in their launcher. The only reason that GoLauncher still allows wallpaper scrolling is that they appear to be doing something proprietary instead of using the built-in Android methods for scrolling (this was conjecture based on my correspondence with the Nova Launcher dev). If anyone else is interested in Nova regaining the ability to scroll static wallpapers, PLEASE email the Nova devs and request they add it. They explicitly stated that if the demand was high, they'd look into implementing a work-around for our phones.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fatboypup:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Nope, only two ways to check it - one requires source, I think you can guess the other. And so far Sammy's holding to their word on holding source.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thirdcoastraised:
From what I just heard about 15 minutes ago, there is actually 3 other builds, however, I was also told I should REALLY REALLY check this one out, so yes, it could potentially be the OTA with emmc fix. The exact wording was "the board voted unanimously not to publish source until no later than 6/6, they did NOT however daddy they wouldn't make the build available to the fine developers world wide to begin modifying anything we may have missed for their massive groups of followers. Shortly after the meeting came the green light to 'leak' FE26 and even though there's 3 other builds, I would REALLY REALLY check this one out"

EDIT: that's 2 leaks in one day. With 3 other possibilities, but my guy works really really close and said he hopes that I like FE26, so that kinda says something without saying something
