Thanks for that. Appreciate it. Hopefully FK15 is really close to final.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
I dont think the EOL is going to happen for a while. They just released the titanium version with NFC.

This phone is too good to EOL anytime soon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
Oh I forgot about titanium version. So who knows what will happen. But I won't hold my breath. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
It have NFC so that mean it could get and update ours will not. NFC make it different in terms of hardware and software. NFC broke the link between the two IMO
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
I dont see how... as long as the hardware is the same other than NFC. We should still be able to run it's software.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Febby:
Yup! Ofc without NFC being the only different asspect :) I wouldn't see an issue
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
Plus we don't we don't even know if it will really have NFC... Remember the recent debacle with T-Mobile and the Nexus 4 having an external sdcard? Or Sprint with the 16GB Palm Pre? Or even the more recent Sprint E4GT that came with OTG support? ;)

Carriers are notorious for botching release announcements so I wouldn't hold your breathe. Just wait and see what really happens.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
We need an inside source to say if the Titanium version is still SPH-D710 or if it is something else like SPH-D720
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] winfan:
If we complain of issues would they (best buy or sprint) swap out for the titanium version?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
If they are out of the black or white version I would assume yes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] winfan:
I would be using the insurance from best buy.

---------- Post added at 11:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 PM ----------

The only reason I would consider is for NFC.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Febby:
That's so true. I hate that!... I've been considering gsm for a while lol... ughhh. But limited data keeps me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
Dont know how t mobile coverage is in your area. But I could have sworn I read some articles saying that they changed there unlimited plans to be truly unlimited with no data caps. This would be the only real compelling reason for me to jump to the nexus 4. For that HSPA+ 42mps but coverage in vegas can by iffy. But we are blanketed with wimax
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jpkelly05:
I thought about changing to tmo. They do have throttle after 10Gb data (at least that was what the screenshot said). That would take me awhile to get up to, but I am sure some of you guys may have a problem with that. I discovered that on the GS3 forum, here on XDA

FK19 Back to ICS??

OK, FK19 notice dropped... showing 4.0.4???

That is weird isn't it? What would be a reason they would go backward? Major issues for the E4GT & JB?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
Lets pray this is a typo or a hot fix build just for ics to address some issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Perhaps a significant issue was discovered in ICS..? Not sure.

Just checked, Virgin is still showing FJ12 and Boost FI22, so I'm puzzled.

Will pass on any info that is shared.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
I wouldn't rely too much of what information that rdf holds
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Confirmed it is an ICS build. Nothing new, will be used to begin ICS to JB OTA testing. Probably won't see or hear much more about this one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jpkelly05:
OT - I just keep thinking, If Third Coast was here - he would chime in with some kind of - JB ICS JB reason Bla bla bla. RDF bla. So he must have moved on to GS3 or GN2.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ravaged Pheonix:
Damn, garwynn beat me to the punch. I thought I was gonna be the cool kid who pointed out the 4.0.4
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] winfan:
Good sign right? So perhaps fk15 was the final build fixing mute bug and now they are working on how to do the ota? Agree?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
I hope that is the case... official JB by Christmas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Stupid me, I guess. Thought you were talking about FK19. (When I replied by PM)

Won't know anything about FK15, all information was encrypted AES-256.

And not a surprise, FK20 is out. JB build.

---------- Post added at 11:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 AM ----------

That might be a little ambitious given that ICS went through what... 3 months of OTA versions?

I'm honestly hoping by Valentine's Day.

But hey, FK09 is stable enough as a daily so I'm honestly good!

Team Sextape may not be able to get us every build - but when we get one it usually doesn't disappoint!

With closer iterations for rdf's kind of hints that sammy might be getting aggressive with there release date for JB!

On a side note I am really hoping we will get a kernel update 3.0 is pretty old the nexus 4 is currently running 3.4.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
I think jb update will be sooner because ics to jb is not a huge jump like gb to ics was. Plus they are using a working build very similar to gs3 in some ways.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs2011:
It's funny that it's not such a huge jump because after using it, I feel like it's a bigger jump than ICS was to GB. I realize that UI enhancements have a lot to do with that though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
The reason GB to ICS took so long was the kernel. Since JB uses the ICS kernel it will be an easy upgrade.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
Actually JB uses a very different kernel. Its closer to ICS than ICS was to GB but its still different.

I think the quickness this time comes from Samsung putting their foot down on having to do all the different custom builds for different carriers. They've essentially taken one universal build and made a few customizations for the carriers but its nothing like the differences they had before.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
Quickness might be one thing but the smoothness and consistency of the ui is just incredible imo.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
FWIW I'll also add 2 more cents. I think the lessons learned with the Galaxy S2 are why you see more streamlined models with the GS3 and now everyone essentially on the same h/w with the Note 2. (Discrete CDMA antenna seems to be the main difference). Their goal would likely be to do like the fruit company - remove the carrier from the update process altogether. Getting everyone on one common build would go a long way to make that happen.

Until then the carrier - in this case, Sprint - has the final say... and that honestly could be the longest part of this process. Sprint is still catching a lot of flak for the ICS updates and now the battery issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
I have 3 batteries and a wall charger but I'm finding myself switching them a lot less often with this build compared to anything with ics. They seem to last for a good while. I just got off of a 45 min call and with my screen on the whole time with max brightness it never even got down to 50 %.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FitChicago:
Agree with the great battery life on this build.

Quick question: On your 45 minute call did you find yourself regularly pressing the volume buttons every 8 minutes to keep the screen display on or have you discovered a way to keep the screen on for over the 10 minute max that display settings allow?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
No. U can see it dim for I wanna say 15 to 30 seconds I think. At that point I just hit the power button and then hit it again to wake it. Also if ur like me and needing to tuck it in so u can use both hands to do something, I just hit the home button and went to one of my blank screens to avoid hitting #s on the dialpad. I'm chasing my 1 and 3 yr old around most of my day while my wife is at work so I had to come up with that kind of solution quick lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
PDK was supposed to be released as part of JB 4.1 and with that initive Google was supposed to give companies access to source months in advance before the official release. Which gives 3rd party companies and leg on porting thse source to there devices. Speeding up the update cycles.

http://www.gottabemobile.com/2012/06/27/android-pdk-means-phone-updates-should-come-out-faster/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jpkelly05:
I don't know. Google also said that they wouldn't be doing as many updates to Android to let manufacturers catch up... but it seems like they are still doing frequent updates.

Yet I love updates... keeps us all happy. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mayo1024:
Hello, does anyone know if we will see a leak for FK20? Or was that encrypted too?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cob11341:
Probably not, I mean only 11 days have passed from FK09 to FK20. Only if big bugs like the mute bug and the contacts picture bug and enhancements to how [more] smooth it should be!

And that pesky task manager bug ....wait its fixed :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
I had to roll back to FI27. I kept getting the cp modem crash and it really seems dangerous and I need my phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mad5870:
I'm so glad that task manager bug is fixed. It bothered me for some reason. Ha
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
Task manager never got fixed it doesn't appears anymore because they're using a SIII JB base and port to our phone. So it will exist forever on ICS unless they really fix it in ICS and push an ICS update before JB and not skip it going to JB directly from FI27. ;)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Anyone know what the new partition sizes are JB vs. ICS/GB and they should stay that way now too correct? I'm not aware of anything that repartitions the storage up until now. Correct me if I'm wrong please.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
The major repartition is with data.img, it was made a little larger to accomodate the additional space requirements for JB. Facyoryfs.img contained a file structure change. We don't know yet but we would assume FK23 does the same.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rockypr:
Time to back up your internal sd guys LOL
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tmeader:
So do you think that the eventual production version is going to be the same way? Not sure of any way around it from the sound of things, but I can't believe that Sprint would push out a general update that would cause people to lose everything stored locally on the phone's internal memory (or am I mistaken on that? Thought I'd read that the repartitioning effectively wiped out whatever was on the local "/sdcard" as well?)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
I'm sure Sprint and Samsung are planning something to work around it. I can only imagine the hordes of angry people... Not sure yet though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Warboy:
I would think they would add a big warning screen like the ODIN warning screen when accepting the update [Please backup data, blah blah blah] or make it a manual update? *shrug*
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FitChicago:
It's a good idea warboy, but personally I love it when people neglect reading the instructions/warnings and wind up losing their mind because their internal storage is wiped. It might be schadenfreude, but it makes me smile :D

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cob11341:
Im kind of confused, does this mean that it will be EOL of this phone? Or we'll stop getting leaks until it drops as an OTA? :o I mean the admin does say "after this release", which could mean this is the last OS leak we can get, or did the admin mean this is the final JB leak?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] evo3d6:
I too was a little confused but Im pretty sure its the last leak hopefully cause its bug free and not much to do til official release.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
No, that does not necessarily mean the end of life for the E4GT. It just means that team sextape is no longer supporting our device.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
Exactly!

BTW Sextape and SXTP Team THANK YOU for all you have done and provide to our phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tonyec7:
Man, that sucks. Or maybe it does mean EOL ? Maybe who ever supplies them with the leaks, informed them the this phone is near EOL, hence no more leaks? Just a thought.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
I don't think we are quite EOL yet. We just got a lot off new E4GT users thanks to several Black Friday deals and there is the new Titanium E4GT we've yet to see.

But I think we're getting close... :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tonyec7:
True, i guess only time will tell. Hopefully we are able to at least get 4.2, i seriously doubt it. But i hope

:thumbup:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Signs saying unlikely... but is it really that bad? We're going to be left off with IMO the best stock builds for this phone that it has ever seen... as well as relatively up to date. Devs, I am certain, will fill in the gaps once we get JB kernel source.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jpkelly05:
I would hope for Android v4.2.1 or above. That December bug would suck. I think most of us that are still using this phone agree, that we are waiting for the actual next high quality phone. Not just a small hardware/software upgrade and with a criteria that the phone is with a manufacturure that has proven to provide decent updates after phones are released.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Febby:
Phew you guys are going a long way! :)))) I've been updating the OP when possible.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Perhaps team ST can be convinced to still forward on any new leaks to a trusted member here for us to continue our journey until JB OTA drops. :cool:

Edit: After all, as someone already pointed out, not only are we waiting for a completed version, it could be a while until Sprint finds a working solution to the JB partition resizing that is required due to the increased OS requirements.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
Or maybe the OTA is closer than we think? ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs2011:
RWilco, have you had a chance to test fk23 yet?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I love it when RW drops hints. :laugh:

I'm sorta suprised that Sprint is pushing an update through for the E4GT considering how much money they've spent pushing out the SIII along with the enormous amount of money we've cost them bricking the phone. LOL

Come to think of it, this might be their way of stemming the bleeding. I think of ICS like Microsoft Windows Vista and Windows ME. It should never have been released to begin with if they weren't going to get it right in the first place. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
Our sources haven't managed to get us the full TAR yet. But they have given us a few tidbits about it. Like the contact photo bug? Might be fixed. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs2011:
Awesome. Hopefully mute bug too!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rovar:
OTA soon means source and will speed up aosp / cm10 development for our phone. This is relevant to my interests.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
Ota? Already?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FitChicago:
Putting on my Miss Cleo hat: I'm seeing a leaked Jelly Bean ROM called FK23 that does NOT format internal storage....

Giving Miss Cleo's accuracy, be weary of the italicized statement; its just the only thing major change from FK09 that could possibly indicate an OTA.

Rwilco: Thoughts?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] colonel.shepard:
if the mute and contact pic bugs are fixed this will be a dd for sure
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] winfan:
Dd? What does that mean?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs2011:
Designated Driver
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
Until I see an actual TAR I won't be able to speculate too much. Although I do feel that after the bugs with contact pictures and the screen off/mute bug are fixed that we've got an OTA candidate.

As for the formatting of internal storage? There are several ways around it that I could see Sprint/Samsung trying but I honestly have no clue which route they would go. From my perspective I think its a bad idea not to format the internal storage. With the file structure changes and the data.img partition change a format is the only thing that makes sense to me to help prevent issues in the future.

Just to be clear, I have received nothing

official

that this build will be the OTA...

Fk23 modem and kernel are ready to download on sxtp forum..:thumbup:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Raistlin1:
I wonder if the kernel could help with the mute bug? May try it and install via mobile odin, can't install the modem for now since I don't have a recovery for FK09 yet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I was wondering the same thing. You can flash El26 kernel to flash the modem and I haven't seen the kernel yet but if doing through pc odin, that will take care of that anyway.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Raistlin1:
Can anyone confirm that the modem and kernel on there now to DL is the correct one? Was reading that they inadvertently posted the FK09 modem and kernel yesterday in the FK23 spot.

Files are .bin so not sure I can flash kernel in mobile odin or I don't know how to, when I look for kernel in mobile odin that bin file is not shown.

Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
If the files are still in their raw format I think you have to flash with pc odin. I've been stuck in jury duty all day so I can't answer your other question if the correct versions have been posted sorry.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalek_Caan:
I just flashed the modem and it is baseband FK23 have not done kernel yet but probably the same I would guess

Edit -- Kernel flashed as well
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
We are interested to know if its working on Fk09 and if it resolves any of the 4g or call issues too. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalek_Caan:
I will poke around a bit and see what happens .. 4G is bad here so not sure I can comment on that but

EDIT

I made a quick call and was still heard when screen went off by proximity and manually , only a couple minute call will see what happens from here
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
The screen off, mute issue killed that release for me. I need my phone for business and couldn't depend on it so only ran fk09 for a short time to try it out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
FYI to everyone the Sxtp thread now has a working flashable ZIP for both the modem and kernel.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalek_Caan:
Hopefully only one quick call so not enough to say its fixed for sure but it is a start :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs2011:
True, in finding the reason for the bug, I had tested multiple calls where the screen turned off and the person on the other end couldn't hear me immediately, so hearing this definitely is a good sign.
