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.
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII EPIC 4g Touch on XDA Premium!

Are there any rdf's

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)

Ics coming next month?

Yesterday, during an Android gathering in LA, LA Gadgets Examiner confirmed with an Android insider that Google, HTC
and Samsung are doing everything they can to bring Android 4.0 to their smartphones. The EVO 3D and Galaxy S II were
specifically mentioned as scheduled to receive the update sometime next month.<===from talkandroid
Epic touch or att galaxy

It may be released next month by Google. But the US carriers are going to take a couple months to get them to us, the consumer.
For example, Samsung already gave Sprint the update for our phones beginning of October, but we won't be getting it until December.

I highly doubt Samsung gave Sprint the ICS update for the SGS2 already.

I bet if that update was for the IPhone Sprint would have rolled it out already and wasted no time in supporting it.
Now I am talking about Apple updates here not Samsung. Just saying that if Sprint would have gotten a update from Apple the Apple users would have gotten it already. Unlike all the other users who has to wait and wait and be treated like a red headed step child.

The difference is that Apple sends updates directly. Samsung goes through Sprint. Sprint doesn't have much of a say as to when an Apple update gets released.

Yes, I meant the LoS update, not the ICS update, lol.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

You never know, it could be ICS. The Galaxy Nexus has ICS and it's Samsung. It's not too far fetched to say that Samsung has an ICS build for our phone already.

..... Even if they said next month expect it 2013 ... This is samsung.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

That was also before they made the promise to deliver the updates to devices that can get them in a reasonable time.
The moment got 3 or 4 updates in it's lifespan. It actually had 2.1 before the Hero.
The Epic got boofed sure, but still, I think this one will be different, and I think the Epic is the reason they didn't go with a whole new form factor.

Hopefully Samsung will follow HTC's lead. HTC announced 8 devices today that will be getting ICS in early 2012. 2 Sprint phones are on that list. http://tinyw.in/Fw1H

Does anyone know what Sprint is announcing tomorrow?

Maybe it was the Galaxy Nexus and Viper announced today. I personally hope not. I have scoured the net but can't find a thing. And I don't think it is LTE because unless you live under a rock you know it is coming to Sprint. Any ideas? It is driving me crazy. I know not to expect ICS on our phone until April. So, what is it? And are they still having something tomorrow? Last month it was everywhere that they had an event at 6pm on the 10th. You would think you would see something since it is tomorrow and I don't see it anywhere.

I'm expecting a rehash of LTE and "announcement" of GNex. Probably a new LTE android Tablet too.

Samsung is having a press conf in the next 10mins and the sprint galaxy Nexus may be there too if not there tomorrow also.
I also heard a rumor a while back from a few android blogs that sprint would be releasing a device with Intel as Intel finally gets in the game with android. Just a rumor though.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

I'm guessing Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 with LTE is the tablet.

Well, I hope someone find something with a link that is to something pretty concrete. As for now. Samsung is about to have there CES event. Here is a link. It is starting now.
http://ces.cnet.com/8301-33363_1-57...msungs-ces-2012-conference-today-at-2-p.m-pt/

Kyocera Echo II?

It's the Galaxy Note and 4G LTE

They are buying T-Mobile USA?

Well, Samsung just said the Note and some new Tablet is coming to the US. They didn't mention carriers though. I am still having trouble finding anything about Sprint's event. I wonder if they are still having it.

Galaxy Nexus and Viper were announced today.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

I saw that. I really don't think that is much of an announcement. It is actually pretty weak. Anything else?

I was watching it from Samsung's Facebook page and they mentioned it right in the press conference. I heard cnet had some technical difficulties though.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Yes, they were having audio issues. Maybe that was why I missed it. Plus, the damn thing kept buffering. So, maybe the Note isn't coming to Sprint. At least not now.

Sprint usually announces its new phones at CTIA, so don't expect much at CES.

I just read on another tech site that these two phones were only exposed to show that Sprint is coming to the LTE game. Since both phones are already on other carriers. It said they expect a more robust flagship phone when LTE actually goes live.
So, maybe CES is a bust. Looks like CTIA will be the next big hope. I am keeping my fingers crossed for the Epic Touch 2 with LTE to be the next big thing. Anyways, we will find out tomorrow what all the fuss is about. I am surprised nothing substantial has leaked.

Samsung is supposed to be announcing something in collaboration with sprint and Intel. Maybe its the new Intel phone?

G Nexus VS SGS3

Which of these 2 devices are you guys most interested in? If they both come out with LTE on Sprint and ICS of course? I personally am Wowed by the camera in our ET4G and hope that the next one only gets better ... what do you guys think?

Obviously it'll be the SGS3
GNexus is already old and barely a step up from the ET4G

I dunno it's gonna be a hard decision. Im sure the Sprint GalNex will be out much sooner.

True but it might be the obvious choice for updates other than that I heard the camera is not up to par with the ET4G and the Evo comment I have to say that it would have to blow me away and they are becoming less open than Sammy

I am just saying sprint has said 12 different lte devices by end of year ... the first will be sg nexus but when will others be out are they able to be hacked ie s-off if HTC etc ... who knows my user experience with 3d says they will have to put a great phone out to get me to ever go back to HTC ... if Samsung is upgrading CPU and gpu for sprint version of galaxy nexus they may upgrade cam and screen or none .... we won't know until they say ... just a guessing game huh..

5-inch screen?
Unless it's edge-to-edge, I don't want a phone that's any bigger/wider.
Samsung will lose my business.

Pretty sure the screen won't be bigger than it is now, Samsung isn't that stupid, that's why they have the Note series.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

I agree. 4.8 inches is perfect. If it were "edgeless" or "edge to edge" than yeah go ahead and bump that up while keeping the same size, but the current size is perfect for a phone boarding on phablet.
No reason to go any higher when someone can just buy a Galaxy Note. I can still unlock and use my phone with one hand for the most part. Yeah it's a bit difficult but it can be done!

It seems like they just released the S3

No offense, but I'm sure they are not knocking on your door and mugging you for your money, you choose to get a new phone, so maybe you should look in the mirror.

Hopefully sprint version has full nv ability with all sprint band evdo and lte with 3300mah battery it could be non removable but give us 3000 and up

iphones are the creation of people with nowhere left to turn

I think this is what turned me away from HTC. it seemed like after the original evo they came out with a new phome every month. Instead of puttin out a solid device then taken time to ensure there next one was a true upgrade they just pumped out as many as possible
