- People started a thread about Firmware update.

- People started complain about how slow Sony is.

- People started saying that they will buy other phone, mostly Nexus.

- People said bye bye we won't miss you to people buying Nexus.

- People saying that they are okay with slow update as long as there is no bug.

- People saying that they are slow AND with multiple bugs.

- They were arguing.

- Thread got locked or deleted.

- People started another thread about Firmware update....

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] skylinrcr01:
Seems to be a pretty vicious cycle. I'm perfectly happy where it stands now, I bought this phone not knowing it would even get upgraded to JB. So anything past ICS is a bonus, and I think that other people should view it as such. This isn't an ASOP device guys.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] NightSky256:
That's not true.

You bought an "Android" phone not an "Android Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.1 kernel revision bla bla bla" phone.

As Google pointed out many times, productors should update theyr phones as fast as they can.

And i think they should release update as the device is sold and when they can't update anymore theyr own interface they should release an "AOSP" like version with all drivers (dereleased phone) this is just (and is not only Sony's behavior) a kind of "Do you want the new Android version ? -BUY A F***ING NEW PHONE!!"
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] darkmatthew:
Nexus 4 in poland =1800PLN ~552,96 USD

Xperia S = 1300PLN ~399,36 USD

This is reason why i have Xperia :/
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Why So Serious?:
I'm sorry but I don't agree. You bought a uniquely customized Android Phone, not an AOSP Android Phone.

There's the perfect world where all of the above would happen because Google has asked for it to happen, and then there's the real world. People need to stop living in the perfect world and accept that Manufacturers have their own business models that they will need to stick to to survive.

As this isn't an AOSP device nobody can expect it to be treated like one. Sony have to balance their development resources between updating our old phones, updating their current ones (please don't nitpick between old and current - if your phone isn't the latest phone out in its category then it's old), and developing for future phones.

I'd expect any current phone to be updated in a decent time frame, but I don't expect my Xperia S to be a priority to Sony. When the XS was released, JB hadn't even been announced, so the majority of XS owners who adopted it early would have been buying the phone for what it could provide in its Gingerbread form, knowing that they'd get some ICS action later in the year. The fact that we'll even get JB is a bonus, and I'll be getting some nice features I hadn't even dreamed of when I first bought the phone.

If you want AOSP features quickly, either buy an AOSP phone or buy the latest flagship every time one comes out. Otherwise I'd advise lowering your expectations because things aren't ever going to happen as quickly as they would in a perfect world.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wizardknight:
I just purchased a new to me SPH-D710. I need some name/compatibility clarifications.

I see that both the SPH-D710 and the I9100 seem to both be called by the Galaxy S2 name.

It looks like the chipset and cpu are the same on the D710, and the I9000. Are they close enough that they both use the same roms?

I also see that the D700 and the D710 are called by the Epic 4g name. Is there a easy way to identify which kind of rom I am looking at? It looks like the D710s are referred to as E4GT most often. Is there something else I should look for?

When I go to pick out my new rom and related things what should I look for to help avoid bricking my new toy?

Is there a thread that talks about this somewhere, which I have missed?

Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheAtheistOtaku:
unless you want a fancy paper weight, never use roms from other phones. They have different model numbers and are under different forum threads for a reason
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
NO no NO no No no NO noooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Onle use roms, kernels, recovery etc made for this specific phone. D710, Epic 4G Touch, Sprint Galaxy S2

Please read the stickys and many other threads here before flashing anything. Also if there are directions on how to install a rom they are there for a reason.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PanchoPlanet:
Hey wiz, just stick with the "Epic Touch" forums and threads.

The key word is "Touch", that's what distinguishes your phone from the other variants. :thumbup::)

Thanked, beered, for the paperweight comment. Gotta chuckle outta me!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Read the stickies, stay in the sprint epic 4g touch forums, DO NOT I repeat

DO NOT

flash anything for any device other than the sprint/boost/virgin galaxy s2/epic 4g touch/e4gt/sph-d710 any other model and you have a new doorstop/paper weight/clay pigeon for skeet shooting, etc. Read, read, read, when you think you got it read some more, then read it all again. Recovery is packed in the kernel in this device so before you do anything get a copy of chris41g's el26+cwm5 recovery/kernel in both tar and zip formats, you'll be using it often so keep em on your PC and SD card, go ahead and put em both in your dropbox/box accounts too.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] johnson8cyl:
Is the boost Mobile sgsII the same as the e4gt? Everything I read says yes but I'm having a hard time distinguishing when I should heed to the "only for sprint" or brick warnings.

Trying to help a friend out and don't know much about the phone myself. It is apparently rooted already. This is the info I have on hand. Would like to get a jb aosp build working on it if I can
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Yes the only difference is the mmsc/mms apn's everything else is identical. If you use a sprint rom you need to edit the mmsc/mms apns to get picture messaging (MMS) functioning and you're good to go. There may even be a zip for boost that will set the APNs for you, but I'm nkt sure if anyone's made one yet for the et4g

☆SoA: Son's of Android™☆

I like to break stuff! :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
Evil is exactly right. I have a boost galaxy s2. It's exactly the same, sph-d710, just has bst on the end which stands for boost. All E4GT roms in here will work just fine. Just get your MSL, edit mmsc url to mm.myboostmobile.com and life will be grand. Search, read, read, some more. But whatever you do don't flash the i9000 or epic 4g roms!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] johnson8cyl:
Thank you both for your time. I'm still reading. I read not to use the recovery to flash just use Odin. Correct? Seems pointless to have a custom recovery and not use it. Recovery is packaged with the kernel I understand so I have to make sure it's e4gt compatible not necessarily boost specific since the partitions are the same I believe. Is there a thread I can get specifics on flashing? Thanks again. This is new territory for me so I have a bit of reading to do as always :cool:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
The screenshot shows you're running agat's kernel, so it's definitely rooted. This is MY opinion only. I only flash through custom recovery when the install calls for it. For me, I flash a lot of mods, tweaks, etc, just to get unique, customized "feels.". Cwm is perfect for that. Alot of custom ROMs come with some type of custom recovery, you are correct about that. However, the jb roms that are out so not, because the source hasn't been released yet. So that may be what you've been reading. Agat has a custom recovery but from my experience it's hit or miss, and shouldn't be used to restore or flash roms, obit mods and tweaks. Every E4GT rom out there will flash to the boost variant, just know you'll have to change the mmsc url as discussed before ifs it's a sprint rom. All the roms also have specific instructions on how to flash them. If it says use a stock kernel, you can't go wrong with Chris41g's EL26 stock cwm kernel. It's safe and you shouldn't run the risk of bricking. Just flash it through odin, pull the battery, reboot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, flash rom, and you should be golden. Again, read the install instructions on the dev's thread for that specific rom. These guys are top notch, and won't steer you wrong. Good luck, never stop reading! Let me know how it goes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] johnson8cyl:
Thank you very much. I never stop reading. This is some new learning for me. A friend had his friend root the phone and now it's running rough he says. I have little experience with CDMA and no experience with Odin or boost Mobile. The guy who rooted it for him told him to unroot it all he had to do was factory data reset. I don't have to tell you why I'm shocked he even got it rooted in the first place. I have to pick up the pieces now and fix it. Didn't see any flashing procedure on carbon ROM op. I'll look again. I got sent through my research to a kernel repository and everything said sprint e4gt only. I'm guessing that is not true and I can ignore it as long as it is an e4gt. Not sure of the process of flashing jb but I'll figure it out. Are the jb builds stable on this device? Just out of curiosity. I have a nexus 4 so I have no idea. I'll continue reading. Thanks again for all the guidance here
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
I am certainly no expert, but what I have figured out through trial and error, it's that jb roms can be a bit tricky to flash at the moment, simply because the source isn't out yet and the pros here haven't been able to work their magic as thoroughly as say, an ics or gb ROM. My advice, start slow. Flash an "easy" very stable Rom like Calkulin E4GT or Vemum's epic venum rom. There are a ton out there, those are just a couple that I really enjoy, and are a breeze to flash. Once you get that done, and have picked up the pieces from the shady rooting that your friend had done, then you can do a good nandroid backup, and tinker to your heart's content with some of the jb roms. I'm currently running Shadow_God's Jellyverse 1.0 and it is super smooth. Have limited knowledge but am happy to help. And another thing, the repository was probably rwilco12's. Save that to your favorites. You'll use that regularly. And yes, all of his E4GT modems, kernels, everything, works on boost. Fyi, boost is on sprints network. Hope this helps
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] johnson8cyl:
Thanks yet again. I was thinking the same thing about choice of ROMs. I'm sure I could figure or how to flash it fine but it might not be stable enough for someone who is not here at xda. I'm certainly no noob to android, rooting or customizing at all but he lacks the knowledge I have gained over time. I think he would be better off with the ICS build. I will try the one you enjoy as I'm sure he will enjoy it as well. Thanks again for everything. :thumbup::cool:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
If he's not accustomed to ROMs, the most stable for me has been EL29. There are several really good ones on here, but personally I really like the epic venum, xplod xe(but make sure you read thoroughly, that I've can be tricky), and the Blu Kuban, but they are all really smooth and solid. For pure, simple, functionality, you can't go wrong with Calkulin's either. Good luck! Glad to help!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] johnson8cyl:
I think I saw a venum build that looked interesting. May try that one out first. I read that mobile Odin isn't optimized for this phone. Have you tried it? Seems like that would make life easier. Do kernels for this phone work like other phones in the area of say over clocking or under volting? I got a lot of reading to do.

At least I'm comfortable with the boost aspect of it now. That was the part that was most confusing. All the handset specific parts I'll learn pretty quickly

---------- Post added at 08:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:44 PM ----------

Disregard last couple of questions. Answered myself reading through a couple ROM threads. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
The venum ROMs are all very solid. Team Venum are awesome developers and themers. I particularly like the epic venum, but I morphed some stuff over from Team Nocturnal's xplod xe ROM. I have used Mobile Odin on this phone, as have alot of folks on here. Personally, my flashing method of choice is cwm. Agat makes some great ones, but with the EL29, I actually flashed Team Rogue's gunslinger kernel so I could overclock(that answered the other part of your question). Yes, it can be done. I used setcpu myself, but it's all about personal taste. There are tons of mods and tweaks for a lot of the ROMs out there. I flash all of them through cwm, just because that is what I'm most comfortable with. Plus in one shot I can wipe, do a backup, flash stock cwm if needed, and then flash the mod/tweak. But I've read plenty where guys on here use Mobile Odin. Oh, and I just read Carbon ROM's thread. I wouldn't flash that to your buddy's phone yet if I were you. From the sound of it, it's still in beta, and being tested. Stick to the solid, confirmed, stable stuff for starters. Hope that helps! :beer:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] johnson8cyl:
I was thinking the same thing. If it was my phone I would have no problem with beta testing and helping with further development. Seeing as it's not and he might have problems until I see him again (could be a week or 2) I'll stick with what is stable and easy to work with. From the screenshot he sent me that I posted earlier it seems as though that kernel has since been updated so I guess I'll start there and go with an easy build he can work with.

Time to start the downloading and figuring out Odin and recovery to be ready when I see him. Thanks again for all your help. HTC and nexus seem easier to work with in a way. Just new things to learn and broaden my knowledge of Android ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
Good luck with everything. Glad I could help. If he has agat, you shouldn't need Odin since agat Wii have a custom recovery built. Just load the rom to his sd card, boot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, flash the rom as per the instruction and you should be good. Or use agat cwm to flash a.safe el build kernel. Chris41g's el29 is a great one. Good luck! Let me know if you have any issues.

[Nokia Lumia 920] dmt123:
Hello,

I can not get LTE working with my black Lumia 920.

The phone is supposedly RM-821 global version with pentaband LTE support disabled in firmware. Bought in Vietnam from official retailer and I am using it here in Finland where I live (LTE frequencies 1800 and 2600 are used by my operator). There is no 4G option in settings->mobile network->highest connection speed. I can go to field test menu (##3282+call) -> settings and select 4G only there but as soon as I leave that menu the setting reverts back to whatever it was set before. Also no LTE network is found during the time I stay in the menu.

This issue is driving me nuts.

Here is what I have tried so far with no success resolving the issue:

- Flashing in 8-10 different firmwares/softwares (several different region rm-821 models including finnish) with Nokia care suite.

- Called my operator several times and requested and got a new sim card to rule out the possibility that the problem lies there.

- Called nokia customer care twice and they keep telling me that the phone - for being the global variant - has LTE support on hardware level but it is just disabled in software.

- Checked the APN settings. If I select the access point with access point name for 4G network with my operator I don´t get connected at all. It says 3G in the topbar but network simply doesn´t work.

- Done this all in area where there should be 99,9% certainty for LTE-network availability.

So if anyone can point out something that I have missed or could still try please do. Would be highly appreciated!
[Nokia Lumia 920] Solarenemy68:
You say it has octaband support. Have you confirmed what frequencies it operates at? It is possible that even being octaband versus pentaband that your frequency is not in that phones range. Is there any documentation that says what bands your model supports?
[Nokia Lumia 920] dmt123:
Sorry I mean pentaband ofcourse. It is supposed to support the 800, 900, 1800, 2100 and 2600mhz frequencies.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Solarenemy68:
Now that is out of the way, are you sure that your provider has LTE coverage in your exact area? Not just over all but at your exact location? Also is the signal you get at your location normally strong. If it is not strong enough the phone will drop to a lower band to conserve bandwidth.
[Nokia Lumia 920] sunmaid:
you may find that nokia has not enabled it yet, they my do so at a later date by firmware .. the CVBG also do not have 4g working out of the box
[Nokia Lumia 920] Ignition2:
I am having the same problem.. I bought a 920 when on holiday in Thailand.. now back home and it will not show 4G.. only 3G... whereas my 820 gets 4G fine...

Its an rm-821... and like the original poster i tried flashing a known 4G firmware onto the phone..

Do they actually manufacture 920s that are not 4G ?? I just assumed they were all 4G.... I guess i was wrong.. :(
[Nokia Lumia 920] randy_c:
Have you try this app and manually set for the LTE? just a suggestion

Flash your RM-821 with the Finnish firmware 059Q917 (1308.1) . It will activate the LTE as it did mine.

Just a question, when a new update comes out in the future, what product code shall be used? The firmware's or hardware's?
