I smell smoke but here is some info if you are interested.

Visitor: Not liking the new website.

Dan: Hi, thank you for contacting Samsung Technical Support. How may I help you today?

Visitor: Can you send me a link to Samsung Epic Downloads

Visitor: The SPH-D700 isn't an option to choose from the list

Dan: I understand that you need to download drivers for Epic.

Visitor: Yes

Visitor: And Manual

Dan: Please check with website below for user manuel.

Dan: att_i907_Epix_ug_english.pdf

Visitor: Thanks. Now how about the downloads section

Dan: We do not have any download for the phone.

Dan: Once we have any download is will be posted in website

Visitor: The USB drivers are out

Visitor: Why can't I get to them

Dan: We need to perform few steps on phone to connect phone to pc.

Visitor: And why is the SPH-D700 not an option in the list

Dan: On phone please click on Settings-->applications-->uncheck USB debugging

Visitor: Windows 7 x64

Dan: Okay.

Dan: Would you mind holding while I check for all details?

Visitor: k

Visitor: I just opened the manual you sent me and it is for the Epix not the Epic

Dan: I am sorry for inconvenience

Dan: We have USB drivers for Epic

Dan: But as our website is under maintainence we do not have issue in downloading drivers.

Dan: Please check with below link for user guide

I'm in NYC waiting patiently for the update like everyone else, polling servers with Firmware/Android update doesn't seem to do anything. I'm hoping that a few people who have the update can do some speedtesting with a few apps and respond whether the update has made any difference...

No there are people that have rooted the phone and have custom kernel that have gotten the update ota. I just think it fails to install until you put the stock kernel back on.
[Epic 4G General] crawrj:
That is strange. I am in Louisville.
[Epic 4G General] crawrj:
The biggest thing I have noticed is that the lockup while sending attachments is gone.
[Epic 4G General] Ricovas:
If you have a moment, would you mind doing a speedtest? Since that's the main issue I'm following here I would love to know if the upload speed is now well above 150 kb/s for you or if it's just the stuttering effect while uploading that's gone yet the speed hasn't actually improved.
[Epic 4G General] crawrj:
Forgive me as I am a noob to android but what is the best way to test this and I would be happy to do it.
[Epic 4G General] InfDaMarvel:
Its kinda depressing to here about an update that doesn't really bring any I would want. Media hub? Lol I thought it was called piratebay\google
[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
Several people have noted that the upload cap is not fixed. If you look on the official Sprint forums, Sprint didn't declare this an official problem until the 13th. There is no way they'd get out a fix this fast, let alone before the end of most people's 30 day period...
[Epic 4G General] crawrj:
I can confirm that is won't go above 150 kbs. :(
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
Also confirm 150kbps cap is alive and well. As far as stuttering goes during the speedtest app, this is normal for all devices - my Evo did this as well.

Android Update Message

I was wondering about this. When I go to Menu -> Settings -> About phone -> System Updates -> Update Android, I get a message saying "Your system is currently up to date." The thing that bothers me is that there is no pause between hitting "Update Android" and getting the message. I can go into airplane mode and get the same message - not a network connection error. I am pretty sure my phone is not even trying to check for an update. Anybody else experience this?

By the by...I think we can safely say that the update is not geographically targeted in any meaningful way.
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
I think that's because the Android OS update is pushed, not checked... that "feature" probably simply let's you know whether the phone received an update push or not.
[Epic 4G General] crawrj:
Mine does the same thing I was checking mine frequently and never got it. Than it just showed up on its own.
[Epic 4G General] imdshiznit:
I don't know if this is true or not, but i am just updating my experience with this update.

I had not recieved the new update until just now. I have been using 3g only a while now and have not turned on 4g lately. However i JUST turned on 4g and within 2 minutes i got the new update. MAYBE they are rolling it out first to 4g? I doubt it.. but just sharing what happened with me.
[Epic 4G General] javahead76:

[Epic 4G General] spf2722:
Just got the update about an hour ago after some serious crap. I had rooted the phone and removed sprinttv.apk and spinttvwidget.apk. I saw there was a zip posted for the update, so I tried it. Well the update failed telling me there was a patch error due to the fact sprinttv.apk was not found. I attempted to re-install the apk with no luck. Could not write back to system/app/, so I proceeded to do a stock recovery from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=773032, which after some failed attempts worked like a charm. Damn thing was like out of the box. As soon as the phone rebooted from the stock flash, the update showed up. Not sure if its a sign or a damn crazy coincidence, but the update is nice.
[Epic 4G General] nicknomo:
This happened to me to. I was at 40%, then I apply and reboot and I'm out of batteries all of a sudden.. Charging now.. Hopefully this didn't just do something to crap my phone out..

[Epic 4G General] Muckrak3r:
So what was in this update? I got it yesterday afternoon in the Dallas area. I see Money Grub, wait, I mean Media Hub is live now, but what are the 'various enhancements' ? I don't see anything else new or updated, and certainly they haven't fixed the 3G issue.
[Epic 4G General] ss4rob:
I rebooted the phone without doing the flight mode (excuse me, changed to airplane mode, heh) toggle and my Time without signal is still at 0% after a few hours. Are you talking about a different 3G issue like battery drain or something? The update list is this:

Optimized, HotSpot in 3G idle mode to help conserve battery power

Optimized, Applied Qualcomm patch for performance enhancement

Added, Media Hub

Modified, WiMAX exit delay

Modified, UI "Noisey" One to "Noisy One"

Fixed, 32GB mSD card is not recongized when formatted in device

Fixed, When playing video, the playback is paused if a headset is connected/disconnected

Fixed, Sorry popup when DRM file is selected in the Gallery

Fixed, Hotspot registration/deregistration

(version DI07)
[Epic 4G General] badasscat:
I'm in NYC and just got my Epic yesterday - received notification of the update immediately when I first turned it on.

Oddly (or maybe not), I have not experienced *any* of the problems with the phone that others have posted about... so I wonder if the update fixed a bunch of these. (I know what's in the list above, but I wonder if anything else was "incidentally" fixed or just not mentioned so Samsung doesn't have to admit there was a problem before.)
[Epic 4G General] javahead76:
At least some people are still getting the update. seems like the frequency has dropped though. I was starting to worry that they pulled the update.

I noticed that the Samsung website doesn't list my model from the pull down model selection anymore. It was there but wasn't working two days ago and then was completely gone yesterday.

@badasscat Did you get the update1 or the update2. It will tell you in settings under about phone. The person that unpackaged the phone for you probably installed update1 so I'm guessing it's update2.

@Muckrak3r hahahahahahahahaha.... money grub. Actually though, from what I've seen of the movie industry, I'm pretty surprised they got the industry to drop prices on jack squat. Star Trek is $3 U.S. cheaper than Amazon. I'm actually planning on buying it (to show off the phone). ...whenever this update decides that I should get it.
[Epic 4G General] sewhuy:
Update killed my gps completely. Rebooting doesn't seem to work either.
[Epic 4G General] houkah:
only differences i've noticed besides the media hub is my 3g is much faster now. My download speed was typically around 700 kbps before, now it's closer to 1200 - 1500 kbps. My GPS seems to lock better as well. (3G upload is still low)

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oniyuri:
TBH, I don't think that the vibrants have the hardware for hspa+. The first hspa+ phone is supposed to be the G2 IIRC.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VeryCoolAlan:
Then why does it say on the T-Mobile website that all android phones are compatible?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chalup:
Lol
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoffcorey:
the phones will be able to read the hspa+ signal, but will be limited to ~7mbps while the g2 (which is the first hspa+ capable phone) will have a limit of 14.4mbps.

the phone can receive the signal, just not take advantage of it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaiPiePia:
Consider that 7.2 mbps is the theoratical through put of hspa, and we know that it is unrealistic to expect full speed. Perhaps, the hspa+ will actually benefit us by running at the speed limit.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterotaku:
HSPA+ area rollouts will mean T-Mobile has hopefully provisioned extra backhaul capacity for that area, which means that phones that DO NOT support HSPA+ (i.e. like ours) will benefit from increased speeds in all liklihood. The connection from the antenna towers TO the net is just as important as the towers themselves.

Just realize that HSPA+ devices in HSPA+ markets aren't hitting HSPA+'s theoretical peak speeds either. Why? Backhaul capacity and the realistic limitations of wireless signal propagation.

You just have to put these things into perspective. For me, here in a non HSPA+ market, my download and upload speeds are almost as good as I get via cable internet, and comparable to DSL here. Even the latency is tolerable for online gaming when I'm out tethered. :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MilkPudding:
It means it's capable of picking up the signal if you are in the coverage.

Your computer has built-in WIFI but it doesn't mean you can use WIFI from any corner of the earth.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kubernetes:
Just realize that HSPA+ devices in HSPA+ markets aren't hitting HSPA+'s theoretical peak speeds either. Why? Backhaul capacity and the realistic limitations of wireless signal propagation.

[Captivate General] jgo564:
Problem I keep on having is that the media profile, or A2DP, setting won't enable when I turn on my stereo bluetooth headset. It'll sometimes reestablish the media profile if I keep on turning off and on the bluetooth setting on the phone and headset, but most of the time I just end up having to re-pair my it. Would be awesome to know if anyone knew how to fix this.
[Captivate General] shoeboxin:
I suppose I should just throw in there...I never had the problem with JF6. I'm running JH7 now and still have not experienced it, will report if I notice anything.
[Captivate General] ozone777:
More Info

While I don't have a solution, I have researched this problem a bit.

In my experience the problem happens when I disable the phone capability of a device.

For instance, I have a pair of stereo bluetooth headphones that I can make calls with, as well as listen to music and other audio.

If I edit the profile and disable the phone function, the whole device disappears from my phone if I reboot it. If I leave the phone option enabled, it does not disappear.

Disabling the media option does not appear to have any affect as long as the phone option remains active.
[Captivate General] gary_lankford:
My rom is stock.

The pairings don't disappear, but my motorrokr s9-hd disconnects and I have to restart the player and then press the headsets connect button. Just hitting the connect button only activates the display, but doesn't start the player. The way the headset connects just isn't right.

There are things like the headset disconnects and the browser crashing, that sometimes don't happen for days and then will happen repeatedly in minutes.

I do hope that froyo fixes some of these problems...
[Captivate General] focalguy:
I have some similar problems. I have a Spracht AURA Mobile BT Speakerphone in my car and I don't use it that often but when I turn it on it doesn't seem to keep the pairing every time. It worked fine with my TouchPro on WinMo.

Another strange thing is that when it is working and I turn off the BT on the phone then come back in the car and turn it on again and it pairs, it immediately starts redialing the last number I called. VERY annoying. Fortunately I've caught it every time but I don't know why it would do that.
