It's sad that the new nexus isn't even on Sprint yet. By the time it gets here I'll be waiting for the next one. Hopefully Sprint gets it first next time. Based on release October 2012 is the date if it follows past intervals.

eh if the rumors hold true Sprint just might be getting an updated version of the GNexus. That's saying the rumors are true however.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_exactly:
ya, I think it is pretty close to not being the new thing. I won't be getting the nexus. There will be something better by its launch anyways. There always is.

Unless the rumors are true about the better nexus on	Sprint......

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamesey:
The rumors are for minimal upgrades when it comes to sprint. Definitely not quadcore and I'm sure the same camera. The s3 sounds sweet, but frankly I'm sick of waiting for updates. So I really want a nexus. I bought the s2 off contract when I saw the nexus going to Verizon knowing I was in for a wait

Yeah I was stoked over the last week with all the leaks and now the anticipation is killing me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
End of the year
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
I doubt 2 nexus devices will be going to Sprint in the same year. I could see Sprints comeback with the exclusive iPhone 5 (assuming that rumor was true.)

Unless you mean you're switching carriers?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
I don't think you're having a battery issue at all. It sounds like you've put your phone through a lot recently, and the battery stats need a few charge cycles to adjust. You can hasten this by clearing battery stats in CWM.

Hope everything battery and mom wise works out for you. That's tough. I'm really sorry to hear it and my heart goes out to you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rocketbaby:
thx everyone, I appreciate it. my mom is stable.

as for my phone... the battery drain happened as soon as sprint sent down the ff18 update... thats why i jokingly asked if it could update in your sleep... lol thats what happened ... initially... and if sprint had actually sent an announcement prior, i could have unrooted it and avoided this whole mess...

now the modem while on wifi at my work goes directly to 4Gx... followed by 4G Zzzz and does not «wake up»... i have to manually turn on 3G as well... after coming off wifi... i waited several minutes as well before trying this... this was anissue i had with the FE05 modem on stock 4.0.0. i got a gut feeling its a voltage issue... reminds me of when i worked for IBM and one of the devices i walked a tech thru rewiring... prior to fiberoptics and digital... the analog signal was sending over 30 Volts on a 2.5v line... the tech reversed wired it and therefore wasnt grounded anymore... so i want to check thecoding later when i get home to see what its sending to connect over 3/4g as compared to wifi... i did the speed test already and on 4G ran at 11mb average and on wifi ran ave 28mb and with that muchdifference compared to the average of 5mb on EL29's modem.... the rts is seemingly in hypermode... just my opinion...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
As much as I hate to say this, it may be that you need to clean house and start fresh with a format all and reset.

I agree with Tray that you need a few cycles on the battery, but if that has happened, maybe its time..

Glad that your mom is doing better. Saying a prayer of you don't mind it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rocketbaby:
the more prayers the better.. she went into afibb during her surgery... then they put her on a morphine drip for pain and nearly flatlined last night... transfusion to cleanthe blood and shes much much better. and what i hate is that i cantmiss any days at work... i'll be going there again tomorrow... so all prayers accepted and wanted, thank you so much. i have to say this forum's people are the most ornery but also the most compassionate.

you know i did do that via stock factory reset, just forgot to put it in my list... thanks!I wiped the whold dam thing whereever it could be wiped including the dahrlich (Dr who-ism lol and metaphorically lololol) think i'll rename mine the tardis rofl! running on straightbattery now with no wifi to break in the prl and the battery.

its gonna feel good getting back to coding... small tidbit of info to give you an idea of my background.... when UNIX first came to where i worked... the unit was the size of a walkin fridge and only ran on 25k.. yes kilobyte LOL but i digress... linux/unix scripting is so much easier than it used to be! so first debug my own phone... maybe on sunday... then into creating some mods and roms.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] The Root:
I would Odin back to stock. Unroot, accept ota, flash agat63s kernel with cwm. Flash calk wipe. Don't restore if you don't have to from ti. Restore things manually, if at all possible.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cob11341:
Jelly bean might come to our phones...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rocketbaby:
i'll keep this in mind next time.... IF theres a next time on ICS... lol

why notTi? I actually like it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rocketbaby:
i heard :D looking forward to it also!

fyi battery completely dead as of now... let it go to 0% and shut down... deep cycling it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nick Venture:
Today is the 20th. It's about 5 minutes from midnight eastern and I have not received the OTA. Someone on the Sprint community forums said that Sprint suspended the rollout. Any truth to this? Or just some guy talking out his ass?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cob11341:
Sprint has been in talks with Samsung for a few days now. GS3 is getting it, there is no doubt about it. The GS2 "may" have the opportunity. Why do I say this? Because the screen (Super Amoled Plus) may be incompatible with the newer version of this Android OS. We have every spec in the phone to run it but Samsung "states that it may be incompatible". I call BS on this, because The Nexus S is getting it and it has a 800x480 resolution, so that's why Samsung may or may not send this update to our phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sniper:
Ya, don't believe what one person says. There were some idiotic websites I saw saying our phones wouldn't even get ics and then others saying jelly bean required certain specs like you said that is obviously bogus when old Nexus phones are getting it. I have no idea if we will officially get it, but it would be cool.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ravaged Pheonix:
You mean like sprint's website stating we would be getting Android beam with OTA?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sader2202:
So we finally have an OTA. Miss me :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cob11341:
That's the thing. Our phone can get it, if only Samsung removes TW, because honestly that is slowing our phones now, and furthermore causing lag :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nightebreed:
I have not received it either, but I think the gentleman is just guessing. It could be that since they have the next version ready to release, they might finish rolling out with the new version, and then go back and roll it out to those who have already received the OTA, but I do not think that is the case. FF18 has probably already been downloaded to your phone, and it is just waiting for a trigger from Sprint to let the phone know it is ok to update. I had a process running for about 48 hours, which was system.update, which I believe was the service that was downloading the OTA. It just hasn't been triggered.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
One thing I've noticed over the past couple of months while waiting for ICS and using various process monitors, system.update runs constantly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shu8i:
quick question: how come the 'official' OTA includes Bluetooth tethering, while wifi tethering, as expected, is blocked? can't recall this being the case on gingerbread?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nightebreed:
Ahhh, I didn't know that. I thought it was related. Thank you for the clarification!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
Not a problem!

Yeah, I thought the same thing months ago. Thought my phone was getting primed for the update. Boy was I disappointed. :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Funny how everyone ignored sader. Battery life is improving slowly. Got 12 hrs with 2 hr 23min screen time and 50 mins of talk time
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
Sader the annoying guy lol no ones misses him
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rocketbaby:
i started with 100% at noon.... no wifi (in attempts to get my roaming in order - PRL)... by 4pm it was dead. brand new battery, wiped the battery "thingy" lol when i fixed the fubar from sprint when they updated my phone sometime around 0400 hrs on the 9th. (which i finally just jumped in with both feet and did it myself... yesterday....)

so with that said... something else is constantly running chewing battery levels down. and my gut is telling me its the FF18 modem... which incidentally sux...

that's my 2 cents.. :)

It was both, and though I have been known to quote/paraphrase Nietzsche from time to time, those were my own thoughts and philosophies.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SteveTech79:
Haven't had any major issues with my e4gt after accepting ota, my wifes phone though is not working well. After updating her phone wifi does not work unless data is turned off. When away from home data shows ok signal but anything that requires an internet connection says no signal. Updates from Play Store say unable to install in default location. I've cleared the cache partition, cleared data for play store and it is still not working.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
Do a Full Factory Reset it will resolve all issues you're having.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
I saw on another forum that Sprint and Samsung cancelled the ota update due to problems. Can anybody verify?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
Can't be verified because it is more than likely not true. If you Odin back to EK02, and OTA to EL29, you will then be prompted to OTA to FF18. This has been tested and verified by Omar04 as stated here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Gonna try that in the morning..

Sent from my SPH-D710
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nightebreed:
Also in that quote "Or may be sprint is not pushing any *new* notifications. Your number was already selected so you keep getting the notification."

I have not received the OTA though I had gone back to EL29 on 7/10/2012. I am curious for anyone that has not received the OTA from EL29 goes back to EK02 to see if they indeed get EL29 then FF18.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
Yes you will get it, if you read carefully I'm talking about my friend phone. he had the same issue as the others that not receive notification to FF18. I did that procedure and after about 20 min he receive the OTA. I not did the test in my phone since I receive the OTA already.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
Instead of making you go back and read like Omar, I'll point out the obvious. His friends phone had not received the notification, so he Odined his friends phone back to EK02. After OTA to EL29 it then got the notification for FF18 within 20 minutes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Since I haven't received the notification either, going to test now. Also have the lil ladys phone as a test subject as well.. Update to follow..

:Edit:

Hahaha.. Apparently, my phone gets no more love..

Sooo, everytime I have ever gone back to EK02 and finish with the one click (which have been many with my ocd nature) EL29 has always popped up in a matter of minutes..

Well, Now I'm apparently up to date.. :confused:

Budget phone...no biggie there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
I only said it like 50 times. By the way the Samsung L300 is a neat little device
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] winfan:
So I have 2 things, and sorry if they have been mentioned, I haven't followed the post too closely.

I went to Best Buy today cuz I have been having GPS issues and the rep asks me if I got the ICS update which I replied yes.

1. Then stating Sprint is aware of many major bugs with the release and is working on a patch update which should hopefully roll out soon but no time frame is given. He was able to exchange out my phone, so waiting for the new one. But while he was doing this, brings me to my 2nd point.

2. I have the RDF Seeker app installed and it brought up a new RDF for SPH-D710. But he was already switching to the other phone, so didn't get the RDF number. I've been searching thinking its FG23 but that turns up no results and even the /latest link provides FF18 as the last RDF.

If anyone finds the RDF, please post. I have a feeling a patch has been sent to Sprint for testing. Also would be nice to know if 4.1 might have gotten included in case it fixed some bugs, but very unlikely. Hopes are there since they had the PDK for a few months now. I hope this helps everyone and know that a possible patch is in the works.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
Hmmm weird there isnt any activity for sprint d710
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_exactly:
I wouldn't call it a budget phone. I think it is a pretty cool phone. Especially if you don't want a big screen TV for a phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
Well I just installed rdf seeker for the hell of it and no new rdf found was the result for our device.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lilotimz:
Well remembers weeks ago, before calk left, he did state that there would be additional patches after the official one is out to remedy problems and that is the plan. And as we all know, he's hardly ever wrong...

So we should be seeing another OTA patch to fix problem...

hopefully...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
Awww I miss you guys too. I'm not near as active on the SGSIII forums but that's because you guys aren't all there.

I'd love to swap back and forth, as was my initial intention, but the last time I deactivated the SGSIII someone hi-jacked my DEC (temporarily) so I'm afraid to try again. lol

I've considered adding a third line to my account just to make the E4GT active. :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ravaged Pheonix:
Free app of the day on Amazon here. I just wish I could take the prediction from swiftkey and put it into a swipe type keyboard. TouchPal tries real hard to do that but fails miserably some times.

I got a new phone today (refurb) from insurance and it was already loaded with el29. I have not added my google account and not installed any apps. I keep checking for the ff18 update but nothing so far. Do i need to be logged into my google account to get it? Worst case i imstall the manual way but prefer for sprint to push it. Any ideas?

Doing it manually is exactly the same thing that sprint would push to your phone.

Updating from system menu will not do anything. The only time this will function is after you have received the push and declined the install. Just flash the update zip in stock recovery and you get the exact same result.

I had to replace my phone yesterday (insurance, after I sabotaged it to get the GPS working right). I had already had the FF18 OTA update installed. When the Sprint store manager swapped me my new phone it was back to EL29 and I asked if it would get the OTA since I had already received it. He stated that Sprint has put a hold on the OTA because of to many reported issues. I just took it home and followed QBKing77's instructions last night (after I factory wiped it) and I'm back on ICS and loving it. QBKing77 Epic 4g Touch FF18 Manual Upgrade
