Hi guys.
This is my first post and i was doing a little research and couldn't find much of an answer....
My question is.... Does the Samsung Galaxy SII Epic 4G Touch for Sprint have the hardware to be compatible with the new 4G LTE updates that Sprint is doing to their network? I am in Dallas and I should be one of the first to benefit from this network upgrade.
I was told "No" by some.
By others (Sprint Store, Franchise) I was told "Yes, no problem at all. We will do an OTA and you might have to come in to the store to apply some changes but its definitely possible"....
My problem is that i don't know who to trust.
I do NOT want to have to upgrade my phone again to benefit from the 4G LTE upgrade. That's just retarded.
I need someone that has the hardware specifications (and the technical background) to provide a no nonsense answer as to whether or not an OTA update will "Unlock" LTE capabilities on this phone, if the capability exists at all.
Not to be an ass, but i don't want speculations or opinions.
I need a straight-forward and logical answer.
Does this phone have the hardware in it to be 4G LTE compatible or not.
Thanks in advance!!!
1. This is the epic 4g with a keyboard forum
2. This is not possible.

Please ask your question in Epic 4G Touch forums. If you read and payed attention you would notice this is the OG Epic 4G.

What I don't get is most of these people who ask questions about the touch are using a desktop/laptop non mobile so they see what the phone looks like on side of forum they can't be that blind, I swear they do it on purpose. But even if they missed that it still doesn't say "touch" so confusion is not an acceptable answer for an excuse IMHO.

Well said it's very irritating to see a bunch of posts and threads from "Touch" idiots in our forums.

Calm down man... just someone making a mistake...
Not sure if you're referring to me or not but I'm as chill as they come. I'm a little tired of seeing peeps asking questions about the Epic Touch when it has it's own forum. So sorry for sounding like an ass but it really gets old when you see the same types of posts. People really need to pay attention.

Funny how none of us have made that mistake, because we can read and aren't blind. Sorry to be harsh but its the truth.

To be fair I think it is pretty well established that there is no shortage of og epic users with an inability to read. Luckily for the people in the touch forums there was probably only one phone called the epic 4g when our non readers started on xda so it is us who get the confused touch folks rather than them who get confused keyboard folk...

This is what happens when iphone users switch to the epic touch.

I'm sorry but ya'lls ability to get so frustrated so EASILY is amazing and funny to me, sometimes...
If you've noticed, i am a brand new user and that was literally my first post.
I tried to post another topic stating "Hey, my bad, this is new to me phone and I just joined the forum." but i had to wait 15 minutes to post another, because that's what happens on your first couple of posts when your a member that literally just joined.
Instead of replying to ignorance, I decided to use the post, after the 15 minute wait, on a thread that wasn't going to most likely be giving complete BS answers that have nothing to do with the subject.
BUT...
Since you would like to flame and get all red faced over a stupid "He posted in OUR section" issue.... Then obviously you've got some personal things you need to work on. How to deal with people, along with your inability to shrink your head. Because it looks to me like your suffering from "Big Headedness." And i mean every single bit as constructive criticism.
I want a world filled with peace and helpfulness. Like a fairy tale book.
You guys have a good weekend, life, or day. Whichever applies.
Thanks (for pretty much nothing.)
Un-twist your panties dude. Imo you shouldn't even be using a website based around modding your device if you can't figure out which device you've got.

Make like your user name and exit on outta here! Good luck with "modding" your phone, aka soon to be paper weight.

When theirs a picture of our phone with a slider and you dont what possesses you to think oh thats my forum? when theirs stickies that say NON TOUCH section that should give you the hint "hey maybe this isn't for my phone".
You dont see any of us posting over there because 1st off we can read and see that thats clearly not our phone. 2nd off taking the few extra seconds to make sure would actually help just like i make sure im in the right Nexus S forum.
since the op only has 2 posts, i take it he never found the correct forum?
OP....a simple Google would have told you there is no LTE radio in there and a Galaxy S2 HD LTE is due out sometime to replace it. Google will not flame you for asking questions.

Noob mistake, consider him an unexpected guest and stop flaming

Why would you want to correct your idiotic mistake of posting in the wrong forum, by posting in the SAME forum, apologizing? Just ask questions in the correct forum and be done with it.

This topic has been discussed before, with our epic's too. Apparently sprint is saying that our 4g radio will be able to run on the lte network with a firmware update. So, even if he DID post in the wrong forum, there's no need to flame because its applicable to our devices also.
(I'm not meaning to single you out kenny lol)

No offense taken. Do you have any links for this. Because I googled it before I posted that and could not find anywhere that said that. I would love to learn more about it. Was that both Epics? So a "simple" google was definitely the wrong answer..lol.
hi where a can find a theme for beastmod 5.0 (ics) sorry for bad english
the rom you are referring to isnt supported on xda.
SGS2 (T989) on CM7_373R6
really? why isn't it supported?
Because of reasons.

Google it. I don't know if I can say the site it is at without a severe lashing from XDA. LOL. I'm not sure about the rules on this issue considering the relationship between the two.

These kind of threads never end well.
I recommend posting in the phone comparison thread
Most user don't care if you are leaving unless you are a developer or excellent contributor. I may be wrong but 89 thanks probably doesn't qualify.
I wish you the best with your new phone
Thanks

Just kidding. hahahaha (I know that gets asked every 5 seconds )
On to the real topic:
Who else is super excited about the 4.1 announcements coming soon? I can't wait....been checking google for leaked news throughout the past few days. I'm absolutely stoked to see what the new version has in store for us. Am I the only one on the edge of my seat about this? lol
