Ideas on when you think first update will come?

really glad that i have this phone but i had the original epic and we all know how terrible updates were on that piece of crap. I swore i would never buy samsung again but saw this and was a sucker. XD
Anyway, i was just wondering when people think the first update will happen as i don't want to go through another original epic 4g fiasco! Really looking forward to Ice Cream Sandwich and hope it comes to our phones before the end of the year, or at least a ROM of ICS comes by the end of the year.

Some say the 19th, but nothing official yet.

HaHa! HTC is sooooo small in comparison.
Is there a need for an update? Are you having issues? I haven't even rooted yet and things are great since launch day.
And for ICS, I would not say yet, but one issue is we have physical buttons and ICS was partly to get rid of them. Maybe TW will be on ICS eliminating the on screen buttons and then we can get it. I don't yet see a need for it. I was so ready for Gingerbread on the Evo and it was such a let down. I think ICS will be less than we want or need.

G purchased Moto.
When it comes to update only way Samsung will get on it is if owners step up make some noise.
Sprint Community forum has threads on issue that need more users post.
Email Samsung , call tech support and post on their facebook page

No one's buying Samsung. It was just a stupid joke. ;p

Never... We'll probably see an unofficial release WELL before the official release (if ever)

Has the update improved the phone?

My girl is wanting one of these epic touch phones but I read a lot about it. From overheating to the LOS to the closing games thing. Has this update improved on any of these?

To be honest i haven't even updated anything but my modem however I have never really had any issues with overheating or los. The game issue was with a few games but the games i really enjoy don't have any problems.
Games such as brother in arms, dead space, backstab, and nova 2. So depends on what games she likes it maybe an issue.

it has improved a lot. have not experienced any force closes since EG30 and Los. and the overheating doesnt happen unless ur watching or playing games for over 2-3 hours which every phone over heats. im currently on EL26 the latest build and to my opinion the battery improved. unplugged my phone at 7am to go to work ( texting/few calls and gaming) and came back at 6pm with 73% battery left.

Never heard anything about overheating on the E4GT.
The others have, to the best of my knowledge, been fixed. LoS has disappeared, and all the games that previously crashed for me no longer do so.

Nice nice thanks guys I think this will make a great late Xmas gift
I am seeing so many builds but they aren't ICS, are they meant to fix something?

well the point is its kinda hard to get ics on the E4GT because of TW, but im pretty sure we'll be seeing ICS soon just be patient

O I realize that....I have a Nexus S so I will probably be seeing it sooner....since this will be for my girl its ok lol I am just curious as to more leaks.....

I've had the Nexus S 4G with ICS on it, and a few other phones, and this by far is my favorite phone so far. Beautiful display, fast and the newest update seems to have made my signal better.

well u seem to have picked a really nice phone for ur girl, probably the best phone out there right now lol. well ICS isnt new to me since i have the galaxy nexus already, so im not really hiked up about it. I just want to see how it performs on the E4GT cause right now my E4GT runs a lot smoother and faster than my Galaxy Nexus the only thing that i like better on the galaxy nexus is Verizons LTE lol.

Are you talking about the epic touch?
Are y'all saying I should get the touch and give her the nexus s? Lol

I have not experienced any LoS issues in a while now. I have also never experienced any overheating or issues with games. I have to say that this is by far the best Android phone I have owned or used to date imho. I am very impressed by this phone and would recommend it to anyone looking into it.

haha. idk man its up to u if u want the epic touch, just to tell u. much better screen and camera. u can zoom in and out in camera mode and also do HD vids unlike the nexus s lol. and much more goodies you can find out if u decide to get it

I like the NS4G but this phone is the best I have ever owned. On EL26, I ran Speedtests on Sat night, early this morning, and this afternoon. I usually never see over 6Mbps download on the L.A. server so I use a farther one. These screenies are on L.A. server

Thinking about ditching my nexus s for an epic touch

Do you guys think it is worth buy a used epic touch and getting rid of my nexus s I'm told the epic touch isn't much better than a nexus s? I was also told its a pain to flash but could it be more than a pain than the epic 4g i used to have? Please your thoughts.

Ok its better than nexus.
Flashing is as easy as it can be if you follow word to word instructions and make sure you are on a safe kernel.
I would not trade my e4gt for any older phone. So.. I would get it. Its your decision in the end.

The epic touch is a damn good phone. I never had the Nexus S so I can't compare it but I will say I'm very happy with it. Its easy to flash and work with and gets decent battery life.

It's a better phone than the s but it's a hard time to recommend buying another phone. I don't think it's enough of an upgrade that I wouldn't wait a few months to see what's dropping for the holidays. What specifically aren't you happy about on the s?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

That I have to agree with. The new nexus will be dropping before long. Might want to wait and see what it is and such before using your upgrade.

I recommend the Epic 4G Touch. It's not 720p like some newer phones but the SAMOLED+ is amazing.
It's super snappy, plenty of RAM, enough built in memory, awesome camera.
IMO it is the iPhone killer.
Sent from my piece of crap Zio until i get my E4GT back from Samsung, using XDA Premium app

Epic 4g Touch is a great phone. My only gripes are that resolution could be a little larger for how big the screen is and the radio could be a little stronger (but part of that's sprints issues). I guess no lte either but that won't be available for a while anyways. But other than that its an awesome, correct me if I am wrong but I think it was the best phone on the market for a while. It may not be as fast as the latest and greatest phones but its good enough for me.

When will sprint get Jelly Bean update for GS3?

Just wondering when sprint is going to push the Jelly Bean update to the GS3. I have a friend who got it a couple weeks ago on T-Mobile. Also anybody in the STL area know when we're going to get LTE from Sprint. And how to change Mobile Network to LTE. I have it set to CDMA/LTE I guess that if it's on LTE it will say 4G instead of 3G?

Everything that's it had been out are leaks or ports.

I have come to the SIII from an EVO 3D. With all of this talk about when jellybean will come out reminds me of ics for the 3d. So knowing sprint and how history repeats itself, get comfortable folks. It will a while. Not being pessimistic, just realistic to sprints delay habits. Took them greater than 8 months for ics once promised.

You probably have few media files.Put some avi,mkv,mp3,ogg files and you most likely will.
Google "Ics Media Scanner" and see how many people have this problem,not just on our s3 but on every android phone running ics.
Oh and consider yourself lucky,you might not have it now but but it doesnt mean you want get it later.

Yeah i know i got one,lol.That was short compared to og Epic which took almost 2 years to update to gb and its still on gb.
I think i like my Epic Touch little more than my S3 but its crippled because my son threw it in the toilet,so i let him have it,it just needs to be pluged in but everything still works.

From what I'm seeing from the developers, the Sprint Samsung Galaxy s3 will have a functional (not official) jelly bean rom very soon. In fact, it seems they are very very close. The only things that are not working yet are screen rotation, mms, and some browser issues. Seeing how quickly every other issue has been resolved, I wouldn't be surprised to see a working jb rom this week.

Not saying your point isn't valid but you don't do the argument any favors with such hyperbole.

The code differences between jb and ics are much smaller than gb to ics. They'd better have JB out before end of year. No excuse otherwise

Thanks for the answer guys. Not looking for a rom really since I haven't rooted my S3, yet... When I for my OG Evo I immediately rooted and flashed. It really needed to run better though. I stock sense for the OG Evo sacked. It was laggy and such. But so far. My S3 has been running like a top. Don't see a reason to root and flash, flash yet..... Although being able to tether for free would come in handy. BTW answered the LTE part of my initial question. No news on that one either huh?

Well, it's goodbye!!!

With a heavy heart I am here to confess I am leaving the world of Vivow... :crying: The waiting game for updates and empty promises from HTC and Verizon both, I have made this decision to sell my Incredible 2 and never look back. With that said, I am also saying farewell to HTC completely. Not enough backing of their current lineup in my opinion. I shouldn't have to upgrade to the latest phone just to get the new build of Sense or latest build of Android. I should also not have to depend on community developers to get what I want. Oh well, it's time to cut the strings.
Dev's.. from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank you all for giving us your personal time and effort into developing fun, useful, and up-to-date roms that just make us flash-aholics happy!! You will never be forgotten!!

Ah.. those issues if I remember were ROM related.. The phone has always been 100% using stock or CM7/9 ... but it's very picky about what other roms I use.. very strange device I have.. but un-rooted and stock it will be good as new.. cosmetically just a few blemishes and only one 1/4" scratch on the screen... not bad for having it and using it almost non-stop for almost 2 years now.. I have it on eBay but I'm thinking of pulling it.. almost 40 views already and 3 watchers.. unless that grows I'll probably yank it.. maybe.. I don't know..
