I was at the Sprint store yesterday cuz my E4GT radio took a crap on me during one of my last installs. Talked to the tech and he told me that the official version should be out any day. Someone he knows has it on their phone to verify build quality of the update.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MochaCharok:
Many people have said the FFxx modems are running well, so I would suggest you try one of them ..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cob11341:
Any word that the current bugs are still on that build?

Edit: Hopefully it comes out before the 27th of June, my family needs a vacation so I pray to god it comes out before then :]
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jay5583:
I have a buddy that is a Sprint store tech at the same store I was at but he was off when I went so I'll have to ask him and see if they can find anything out
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cob11341:
Maybe he flashed the FF11 Rom? :o
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mad5870:
I'm on ff11 And the recent apps bug is still there
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dohchp:
I have found that FF09 works better than FF10 or FF11 especially on apps where you will refresh every now anad again like Facebook.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] datajosh:
Did this seriously not get posted yet? Guess FF11 isn't the final build...

http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-D710/FF16.rdf
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jefbal99:
so much for FF11 being the OTA
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
Lol they never stop! Yay!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cyburke:
oooooooooooooh..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] datajosh:
They really don't! I'm starting to feel like I'll be modifying and flashing leaks every week until I get another phone :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rgregg504:
Between this and the gs3 mystery I'm going insane:eek:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fatboypup:
SEXTAPE and SFHUB!!!!!!!! weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee need youz!!!!!!!! :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
True that! Keeping the Repo and my phone up-to-date is quite the undertaking! ;-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
FF18 RDF is up

http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-D710/FF18.rdf
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
....What in The Firmware...!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] The Root:
Hey guys, remember when FF16 was posted?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
...no not really i uh it uh... never made into long term memory.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Big Boy Laroux:
Ah, the good ol' days...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
Ass! Ass! Ass!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard Knight:
They must have found something they really didn't like
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fatboypup:
between this and the GS3 shipping debacle im gonna have a stroke this weak :eek:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
At the rate its flying today FF19 will be up in 15 minutes, leaked in 10 and OTA'd in 5 with source a minute later.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fatboypup:
im going to need more caffeine :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] The Root:
That actually sounds crazy enough to be reality.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] heroisnotdead:
Tourettes guy, is that you? I've missed you!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ascertion:
Ff11 could still be ota. Just new builds for future patches?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SkuzFoz:
This is what I was thinking.

I mean, according to a few pages back, FF11 was THE build and we should never question those who said it was.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bruce Inman:
How about some Modem Nightlies.... LMAO! :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ascertion:
And so was FF02 and I even remember someone saying NO MORE RDFs. I also remember someone saying OTA would be March, then April, then May, then June. I also remember reading that FE26 was final because it wasn't leaked. I also remember blah blah blah. No more rumors, it comes when it comes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_exactly:
Well, looks like I am changing the OP again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
And you thought you were going to be able to leave us for the Gnex!

Really this last rdf is just a clever ploy to keep you here with us. ;-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nirvashone:
Every time someone says "lmao" I think of a French cat, Le meow

Have you seen my phone?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fatboypup:
welcome home KC :o
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vanberge:
NOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooo :-/ FF18
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tailsthecat3:
GB for life. Smoother user experience anyway.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] heroisnotdead:
How is that gnex treating you, KC? GPS less shifty than the E4GT? Is the grass truly greener over there?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
It was still made by Samsung, good luck with that one lol :p I mean GPS is perfect on my E4GT so he may have a great GNex and then the next guy not so much.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abusedcloth:
LOL +1 I just switched back to Blazer 4.1 EL29 last night. Nothing beats it. Screw these build leaks, we need source to really get a good ICS experiance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sandwich11:
But FF11 is the final build...

It just goes to show that NO ONE here has a clue when the final build is coming.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] animal7296:
+1 I am running stock rooted right now but am thinking of flashing something new. I tried blu kuban but went back to stock rooted to try out the latest leak. Didnt like it so now once again I am back to stock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] apatcas:
What it goes to show is how much Sprint gives a ****.

I think we should make another thread with a poll of give a **** and call Dan Hesse here to vote.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Big Boy Laroux:
i would agree if we had a long delay with nothing happening. But two new releases over the weekend means they give a **** about something. Could be they wanted to add more bloatware. Or it could be that they wanted to fix some bugs. but at least it's activity to show they are actually working on it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] &roid:
This train never stops... Wonder what the next FF day will be.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] heroisnotdead:
Yeah, the gps on my E4GT is awful. I've done everything I can think of and discover on forums. Gonna try replacement shortly. I don't understand it and I'm tired of trying.

It's bad enough that I had to revert to using my old GS2 i9100 for navigation. GPS was so great on that I never once had to worry it would drop signal if it got cloudy or some dumb **** like that.

Le sigh
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] donsh00tmesanta:
Ff18? What different is this now
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
+1 Stock rooted is just how I roll. I try things here and there, but always revert back to my recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Specialksg1:
Yeah, and how's battery life??? :rolleyes:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_exactly:
Actually GPS and the whole radio seems much better. So does the screen. It is more clear, maybe not as vibrant though. Battery is better too. I am happy with it. I like the Epic too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
There is no leak so how is someone going to know how is battery life? Read around before posting?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Big Boy Laroux:
Someone needs to research the meaning of certain smilies.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dr. Fed:
Please tell me you are also joking. Cuz obviously dude was joking.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
HAHAHAHAHAAHAHA. Cool?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
The great one (calkulin) was wrong :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
Not necessarily. No one knows for sure what this means. We've had three recently posted rdf's that did not turn into leaks. It is possible, as mentioned earlier, that these rdfs are pure Sprint tweaks and nothing to do with Samsung's final build. FF11 could still be OTA build and these rdfs just follow up patches.

Also, have no idea if this means anything, today I got a text from Sprint telling me my VVM account is being upgraded on 6/25 .. possible OTA release date?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dr. Fed:
Yes that was cool. Even though it kinda makes no sense. It would have made sense if I had said "hey, do you think that was humorous?" But that's okay, you have a nice hat. What's your opinion on FF11?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SuperSwagSauce:
I predict an FG-- ota. You heard it here first!

Sent from my Super Sexy Epic Touch rockin' Blazer ICS!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
The VM update is a new ID (old id system) sprint is going to for caller id on the lines. You can have each line set now. Not just number showing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mmark27:
I'm glad to see more leaks. There are a few issues left to resolve, so this makes me hope they're doing some of them? Most likely they are just doing things like making more Sprint applications un-"disable"-able as in the last FF09-FF11 jump.

Come on roaming notification bug-fix! [fingers crossed, that's my last one I care about -> 4G hot reboots would be irksome if I had any 4G access ;)]
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
You guys thought I was kidding about the GC21 official ICS OTA I spoke about a month ago. I'm still holding my ground on that build.

#troll
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thirdcoastraised:
you're looking at cosmetic changes only. Sprint is NOT FIELD TESTING ANYTHING. So you're not gonna see any major software changes. Base of both FG16&18 are same as FF02, SAFE SOFTWARE DOWNLOADERS AEE RECIEVING PATCH UPDATES TODAY AND THE ONLY CHANGE WE IMPLEMENTED IN THEM WAS no longer able to disable bloatware, and addition of Sprint bloat. Apps.

Wicked Kuban flashers killin the ICE cold BOA until I C n Red from the VeNuMous Sensations filling my now banned mind...so tell me now, Rujelus? Look out for dis AnAkOnDa! Brought to you by TeAm VeNuMs Blu Kuban v1.0.3.9!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_exactly:
I was thinking that was the case. The person who told me that FF11 knows their stuff. So, if there are changes now they shouldn't have anything to do with the original functionality. Unless they are enabling LTE.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Majin101:
....... I thought these leaks were over sighh lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gharlane00:
There is also the reported plan to make the final release build "root proof" that has not been seen in the wild as far as I know.

Given the impending release of the SGS3 which will be a major phone support event it does not seem likely that Sprint would send out an OTA for our phone at the same time.

An FG final build number does not seem far fatched.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
+1 I'm still questioning the emmc fix. We still don't have confirmation that a workaround is in there. We know that garwynn has recently brought it to Samsung's attention, and that very well may be what they're working on now. Without a changelog, there is no way to verify anything.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fatboypup:
Hahah @lte
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JDinAZ74:
Why would they be making the bloat ware un-installable and adding even more? This seems like a step backwards, and wouldn't it piss their customer base off? Will they be adding CiQ back in too? With terrible reception, abysmal 3g speeds, and total lack of 4g, or even plans for 4g in my area, are seriously making me rethink my choice of providers. :confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JDinAZ74:
Haven't most all the so called root proof phones, been rooted, within hours of release?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gharlane00:
Not saying they will succeed but they did say they were going to try.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] davidstjohn1:
Were did you get this information? That would be a huge reversal in what I think is possibly not gonna happen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crossen0:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] auau465121:
People the ota is not going to be release until after the sg3 is out just good business why offer a upgrade that might make people want to keep there phone when they want you to buy the new one it sucks but its just a great business decision

Sent from my GS2 the next big thing
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fatboypup:
and at this point we have NO IDEA when we will get the gs3 :mad:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
That's what happens when there are more pre orders than phones avalible. (Or at least that's the excuse some PMs are telling agents to say...) Maybe Sprint is trying to model Days Of Our Lives...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fatboypup:
my tpu case from china came today in better news ........
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tyknee:
I think people from Sprint are just messing with us. Caulk/TCR/et al are spreading disinformation in order to cover their tracks and protect their inside sources.

I heard the Obama White House was involved, as well as Van Jones and even George Soros himself...

/tinfoil
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
ET phone home?? :D

(Sorry, couldn't resist. I'll shut up now)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crossen0:
Haha guilty as charged. Loving it so far.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
There is no such this as "Root Proof". ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Thanks to the help of Entropy and the T989 dev conmunity it was confirmef that they patched theirs. According to same source who told me this in advance it wad based off the patch for ours.

So while we cannot confirm until source drop I am putting my money on the same solution... Removal of MMC_CAP_ERASE enabling from the mmc driver, thus avoiding the offending function.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
This was noted in the FF11 changelog, courtesy of Sextape. Which if he is nice enough to share the FF18 log can probably put that to bed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] apatcas:
LTE? really? are you in the right phone section dude?

I'm sorry, I might be missing something... But you either make **** up as you go or know something noone else knows about this phone. U've been posting that every FXXX is going to be the final candidate for a while now. Are you eating something rotten? I mean really whats with you?

On a side note thanks to all the devs that make the leaks more enjoyable.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cob11341:
Calm down. He has only been posting information that could be very helpful regarding a release OTA file for our phones. Don't be rude please :)

Anyway, has anyone heard of a change-log that this build could have? (If any)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BrandoKC:
If John Boehner is involved Pebble Blue will be dropped for Smokey Bronze.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] apatcas:
I, Nostradamus, see this as the build that will bring LTE to our phones and fix the data issues.

There
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cob11341:
Cool! Prints money as well? Lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] apatcas:
Hell yeah. U better thank me when I'm right
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ascertion:
why not update to get rid of inventory of old one?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] apatcas:
Nah man u gonna get LTE... just ask kc_exactly...

Don't you wanna LTE? I has it from kc... Is fast
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yellowman82:
I rather sell the new then the old ones lol besides um pretty sure the old ones will sell after it gets the update
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] auau465121:
That's why they will be dropping the price to $99 they want the ones that have the gs2 to upgrade to the gs3 first then they will get rid of the old inventory

I think my F5 button is getting worn out waiting for the FF18 leak to post!! :P
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_exactly:
I am confused. What am I being asked?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] apatcas:
I think you've said that they might be adding LTE in an earlier post... is that still a probability?

Dude... im just busting your balls.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cob11341:
Wanting leakage tonight :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_exactly:
I don't think it is going to happen. I wouldn't say it is impossible though. But it would probably require a degree from MIT and a soldering gun to do it.

I will give the soldering gun as a donation. Just make sure we get the video for YouTube.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iniz94:
That would give us even less of a reason to upgrade to the S3 so i doubt they'd do it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bumsock:
It would be easy!! All we need is a LTE radio...an LTE SIM...and swap out our exynos processor for a qualcomm one!!:D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] revamper:
Wow dude... cool story bro... you're just beating a dead horse...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
Yeah let's just force pry the CPU out and expect the new CPU to go in working without its specific software.

Oh don't forget to create the magic LTE card port

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elrey75:
Everyone, I have great news. I just received an update notification for the NASCAR app.

That is all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DirkBelig:
Are so many people here really suffering from irony-deficiency? Perhaps a dietary supplement may help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sottey:
I think, with how disappointing it is to not see the OTA, this thread's subject should be "I have the worst news for you all..."
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JDinAZ74:
I wasn't really questioning the validity of the information. It was more of wtf are they thinking. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thirdcoastraised:
And the laughs keep coming. The changes that were made were Sprint related. Samsung is and HAD BEEN done for well over a month. But seriously we're living seeing all the great theories being kicked around.

The sgs3 really and seriously has nothing to do with ota because as of 6/19 (tomorrow) E4GT AND OG Epic are EOL! Sprint set numerous records with sgs3 already, and unless you ordered the pebble blue version they're already en route. If you ordered the pebble blue version, then you knew already from the numerous articles published that it wouldnt be available on day 1...the UK is barely beginning to receive their pre ordered pebble blues. And just so you are all aware, the pebble blue WILL MAKE AN APPEARANCE on Wednesday at Unpacked but won't be available on the 21st.

So, hurry up and wait is the answer the carrier with MORE SGS2 owners now and more SGS3 owners already is giving you. Want an official ICS, jump to Tmo and their 4.0.3 version that is FILLED with all the bugs and issues you could want, otherwise, you'll get it when Sprint drops it, and be ready for AT LEAST 1 patch update soon after. That is all...class dismissed

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] donsh00tmesanta:
Will gs3 support lte one 800mhz
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Febby:
No, no phone will support the 800 mhz lte band till next year I believe... I could be wrong but definitely not the gs3.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
I would imagine the gs3 will support 800mhz just as soon as it is enabled on the Sprint side... but then again, what do I know?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tailsthecat3:
The gs3 won't have the 800mhz radio. Those are the phones you want, units that support the 800...or both 8 and 19 hundred
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] The Root:
Epic Touch has it:

http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Samsung-Epic-4G-Touch_id5537

So does SGS3:

http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Samsung-Galaxy-S-III-Sprint_id7099

Check frequencies in CMDA technology section.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tailsthecat3:
That's for cdma and has nothing to do with lte, on the epic touch. The gs3 only supports 1900 lte.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
So Nextel wasn't running on 800-900mhz and sprint isn't going to put lte on that band?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mrfunnyguyky:
Just about every phone Sprint sold within the last year at Sprint has the ability to do 800MHz voice calls.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
Oops Wrong Thread Literally!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DCRocks:
I am not surprised the Epic is EOL on 6/19, but the ET4G? That I have not seen anything on...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
You won't.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nhfi:
thats what i was trying to comfirm ^^^
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MeWarning:
On top of updating to lte Sprint is taking down the older 2G line and are being allowed to drop the 3G signal down into the 800mhz spectrum. So even though we won't benefit from the lte upgrade are phones will see improvement in signal. 800 is way better for going through buildings.

http://www.extremetech.com/electronics/129995-fcc-approves-3g-and-4g

It's actually described as massive improvements.

This is also what they're talking about when you hear they're installing one tower at a time. They're only allowed to take down one old one at a time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Guess that might be what's going on near my office. Have a tower a block away and 28% signal strength... Asked Sprint and they said there is a network outage with no ETA for correction yet.

I know Chi-town is rumored to be on the unofficial list for the LTE switch soon... guess I won't may not to wait much longer to know for sure.

By the way, didn't know they were having all the problems in the area due to NV upgrades - found out by reading S4GRU blog posts from April. I'd ask if they've been corrected yet but by my signal issues I'm guessing no.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mrfunnyguyky:
The projected EOL isn't until August for the Epic and the ET4G is certainly not EOL right now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nathantaylor:
YES!!

I cannot wait for the FF18 build so I can flash it. I'm currently running FF11, which is great, but there's always room for improvement!! Hopefully they finally fix the scroll bug for good.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
That's why it would be a good idea to sit tight until lte is rolled out on your area. After that happens, it would be smart to look for phones that also can utilize the 800mhz lte and cdma2000 technologies on sprint. I haven't looked into what the current sprint lte phones have for specifications. It would be stupid to make an in between technology phone. If you really want to notice the improved performance, then wait until its live in your area then start doing your homework on the phones. Many times, I've done my homework ahead of time and am better informed about the phone and features than the floor sales people. That's good because sometimes some of them bull**** their way through things they don't know to the customer.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
+1. I don't see any reason, other than some new features, why one should upgrade to EVO LTE or S3 when your area is not going to support LTE. By the time one's area gets LTE support, there could be a new phone out better than whats currently available.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard Knight:
+1. I'm going to wait until next summer's phones. To me, going from this phone to the one or gs3 doesn't seem like an upgrade as much as it seems like just something different
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
Don't hold your breath. It's highly unlikely FF18 will get leaked and turned into an actual flashable build. These more recent rdfs are most likely sprint tweaks and/or possible patches after OTA and nothing more.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamesey:
make no mistake gs3 is a great phone, but yes not a worth while upgrade if you already have a gs2. certainly not enough to use a 2 year upgrade on. Expect next generation phones to hit before Christmas time. Iphone 5 (what i want friends to get so they leave me alone), Nexus (what i'm waiting for c'mon Jelly Bean come to poppa), and who knows what else ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
I was under the impression Sprint will not be getting the next gen iPhones. I think their deal with Apple was a one-off situation and with all the money they've lost on it I highly doubt they'll be eager to jump back into another agreement. I mean Dan Hesse took a considerable pay cut due to the losses associated with the iPhone deal.
