Has sprint or Samsung Announced a fix? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

The title sys it. I was curious if they had said anything in regards of a patch or fix for the Ics ota update. I went stock ota for a few days and went to sprint to see what they would say. The tech handed me the phone back and said root it.

I agree it would be nice if the internal message for out of office in exchange worked and double bonus if it could properly close apps instead of cooking battery until it dies

I told him I was rooted after he said that. but I wanted to see if the ota was as bad as it sounds. I wanted to see if they knew of why it seemed like the radio was bad and getting reversed results when it came to DL and ul

not entirely sure what is wrong with the new OTA but I have also have problems with the new update and when I took it to sprint, the tech said the same thing "you should root it". I told them I should but it's not my fault of hardware or software issues and after some talk (I know the guys at the store), they helped me get a replacement. Hopefully the replacement doesn't have any problems too.

I haven't heard of any of the other SGSII phones having issues.. Only sprint.... Seriously, I hope they are working on fixing everything and releasing a jeallybean update.. Cuase for them to push out a buggy 2 month old FF18 as the final product is pretty sad.

The story is coming from Samsung directly. You think sprint is going quick to get jb out to us when we were the last to get ics? I'll be very surprised if they update us at all.
Sent from behind you.

a fix for what? If you don't like the ota run one of the fine, bug free ff18 based roms like blue kuban or goodness. Try cm9 or aokp you don't like those. The only reason you have a "buggy" ics build is because you choose to. That said we didn't see all of these complaints when people were running the ff18 leak, the only thing that has changed is the people running it... furthermore why are you posting on xda asking for a patch? Go to sprint users or sprint forums if that's all you're concerned with and want to complain, they'll listen to you there, I thought this was the place where we solved our own problems... not that I think there's anything wrong with ff18.... now flame away instead of spending the time to search and figure out why you're having the issues you're having when plenty of people are running ff18/ff18 based builds without difficulty or issue

I've ran all ics ROMs my phone just don't get the bandwidth with any of the modems released. I went to ota so I could see if they had an answer for why I got **** download and upload speeds. I can't go in there rocking rujs blu Kuban saying hey my phone won't get a signal anywhere here's my phone and fix it. I miss the roms but I can't get any signal I tried different kernels modems scripts and even garbage off of the app market to improve my signal. Sprint is well aware of it. I posted on xda because people seen to get answers and everything else before people find out. Im not asking a question for devs to fix it im asking the community in the xda q&a section. And it's for our phone correct? So that's why im in the xda forum asking the question.

Thanks alot i will root at soon as i get home do u think i should put the coustom ics leaks they have??
Here's my take on this. You want to know where to find out when ICS drops for this device within minutes of it happening or Samsung/T mobile/Telus announcing it? XDA will know within minutes. You aren't going to find a better source than this forum. The guy working in a call center didn't know sh#t compared to this community. I'm willing to bet there are a good amount of software developers from any companies with the info that are active XDA users. When they have the ability to release the info our a new leak is found, we'll know in short time.

True that! FF18 got old real fast I had to roll back to EL29. Breaks my heart that Jelly Bean has been released and we are still struggling to get a solid ICS update I did read reports thought in in android 5 google is considering an update model similar to windows and to bypass carriers and allow the pushing of updates directly to device. This should solve our fragmentation issue but who knows...

All software always has bugs, by the time we even get FF18, Samsung would have had over a month to whip up a patch.
The only thing that really bothers me is the scrolling. It's horrible.

I'm on [UPDATE][KERNEL][ROM]tFF18 with FF18 repack with AGAT recovery 0.2.1 rom with ff18 modem and its a big improvement over other roms/modems I've tried.. Net speeds are up from around 1.5 mbs d/l to almost 3 mbs and I get 3-4 bars on the phone signal instead of 1 maybe 2.. And I'm in the mountains of Tn.

OTA ICS update Epic Touch 4g on Boost

So you are a boost customer and got ics ota notification? That can't be bad.

Im not familiar with the process to flash to boost but whats even better is you guys now have ICS rom leaks specific to boost now
Not a boost user but have seen posts from users where flashing / updating doesn't wipe settings.
If it would, then theoretically a nandroid would take you back.

Anyways from what I have found is that no rom I have flashed on this phone has messes up the radio settings where all the carrier settings are stored. You should be fine. But that being said flash at your own risk ha.

Yeah that was the update from like a month ago. The radio was changed with some security fixes. UVLI4 is the latest one, and i got that like a month ago.
Thank you all very much, seems I haven't received anything at all cause mine is the second one. Im such a noob, don't matter how much I've roamed around here. Lol!!!
I have a q, again, will that update mess up with like cwm or root when/if I receive it? Will I have to root again?
Also the first one went from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 with that update, but mine had 4.0.4 out of the box. They were bought with a difference of there months at most. First one I got starting last December, the second one at the end of this February but still outdated according to those numbers. But when I check for updates it states there are none. Whatever, thanks again.
I didn't notice that I had posted on the general thread instead of q&a thread, please move if needed. Sorry about that too.

You will not be able to update like that with cwm installed. Has to be on the stock recovery. Doesn't really answer your questions, just more of an FYI.

Hey, you should have posted before, lol, that answers all the questions I had, and probably a couple of the questions I might have, hahaha.

Yup it's the custom recovery that will prevent an update. When you load a custom recovery you are basically saying "I am the administrator of my phone, not T-Mobile". So it is up to you to apply updates. Also if you dont want to see the update notification anymore you can freeze the Device Management process with Titanium Backup or Rom Toolbox.
Well, not long after there was an update, Lol, though not directly from tmous, at least for me.
What a bump. Hahaha
