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)
Oh my epic has been so jealous. The other day I got a nexus s 4g for my gf and put ics on it. Man I cant stop using her phone and she does not understand what she has in her hand. Using this makes you see how much touchwiz sucks and there is no need for it anymore.
If Google was not whoring itself to anybody and had standards we would probably all have this already.

Agree... For this to be the best phone on Sprint and one of the best phone on Android, Im surprised we dont have it yet.
I wonder if there will ever be a day when all high end android devices get updated at the same time.
I guess thats what the Nexus brand is for though...

The worst part is Google has the nexus but by the time we get if we do it will be September. What's even the point of making ics look the way it does if nobody will see it. When apple has an is update the world knows. Google I would say either does not care or handles it in the worst way.
Average consumer will use android and because of all the crap that the carrier and handset makers do they leave with a bad impression. Its just sad its like Google is its on worst enemy.

You're really surprised the E4GT doesn't have ICS yet? Do you know how long it took gingerbread to get to the original Epic?

I was trolling through their forums and they are waiting for the OTA for ET4G so they can have ICS with Touchwiz.

Until aosp roms support 4g I can't use them. The 3g in my area just does not cut it.
To op, there are ics themed launchers in the market. The source was released, so in a few weeks expect to see a ton of launchers based on the actual code.

I was thinking after the first one to switch already but I really wanted the camera from the amaze. I'm a Photographer so it was hard but after taking a good hard look, the s2 didn't have that much of a difference. Plus when I finally did the switch, this phone was on sale for 88 bucks. I paid 188 for the amaze. So when I did switch I got money back because they had to honor the sale price. So I got a better phone for me and for 100 bucks back

It seems all they're doing is vomiting phones to us and rushing these damn incomplete devices. The sensation had an amazing community but nothing to save it's hardware and battery problems. These stupid companies need to slow down and make something great. I'm an HTC fan and just waiting for them to make something nice that I can replace my Galaxy with. Sorry guys.

The only problem that HTC devices have imo is Sense. The G1 was great for the couple years I had it. Look at the G2!! Great phone because it's running vanilla Android.
Sense = Fail
Always syncing in the background, taking up resources, and bogging the phone down. ESPECIALLY on the Mytouch 3G slide (oh what a mess that phone is). Every time someone walks into my store with a MT3G slide i think, "oh boy here we go" lol
Even on the HD2 windows phone!! The solution we gave a lot of customers was to turn Sense off and it solved pretty much everyone's problems with that phone.
Lol couldn't agree more. Sense is definitely eye candy, but i end up removing most of the stuff with titanium backup. I enjoy some things from there but eh. Seems to me like the mt4g was the last quality phone by them. The one with the good display at least. I remember getting 4 hours display time with that bad boy and that was running sense. Glad we have tdj and rk from there lol

I hear ya haha. I used to hate WM6.5 sooo much and was super hyped when I found out android had been ported over. That phone was one of the best over ever had, si many customization option when it came to ROMs. They even have ICS already. I would have kept it had it not been for the catastrophic drop that ruined the display

Been confirmed. Do not use i9300 method or you will have issues
Disclaimer:this is coming from an employee at a smallish Sprint store, so please know that it's far from confirmed.
So yesterday I was at the Sprint store upgrading to the S3, and I was asking about the S3's JB update. After he told me that it's for sure coming soon(non help on when), and while he was porting my sister's number to my E4GT, he started to tell me that the E4GT would be getting JB, and that Samsung had told their store this information. The lady at the counter next to his had agreed with that he had just told me. I was given no time frame either, just that the device will be getting it.

I was kinda thinking that. The same guy and lady both said that Sprint would not be getting the Note 2, when they've personally announced that they are and even had a hands-on with the Sprint device in new york. I would make a way better Sprint employee that that guy. But I'm only 16, so that's a no for two years for me.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
I hope it happens, but Sprint is probably telling them that to make sure the S2's keep selling
When JB arrive to Epic Touch, i think all of us will be in the galaxy 3 or note 2 forum postin LOL
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
It's coming for the E4GT, all the rumors from reliable sources point to it.
Your backup source should be the fact that the phone just started rolling out for Virgin and Boost.
(Meaning they're not going to EOS it anytime soon.)

Seriously, it's a point of competition against Apple. You'll probably see even longer support as they get closer to a standard build for most phones; one of the biggest reasons for delays on our device is the fact that more changes are needed.

This thread lost all credibility in the first paragraph. S2 to s3 really? What's the point it's the same phone. Go return and wait for the new nexus or note 2. No reason to blow a 2 yr upgrade on a same generation phone.

I for one think it is a completely different phone. It has a whole different feel from the S2, it's faster and lighter, bigger screen, that physical home button. My sister had me use her upgrade on the first to buy a new phone anyways so she would get my S2. So I still have my own upgrade to use, which probably will go towards the Note 2. On AT&T. I'll be switching once my contract is up in December.

Always remember this. Unless that Sprint employee also follows the XDA forums, you probably know more about what's going to happen than he or she does.
That said, I do think this phone will see official JB.
