[Discussion]: Results/Performance of FH13 via Samsung Kies - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Hello ET4G friends, countrymen, and compatriots,
This morning I updated my device to FH13 via the Samsung Kies Firmware update and have to say that thankfully my device's battery performance has improved slightly. This weekend I was literally losing 1-5 percent every few minutes when my phone was locked, and dropped from 70% to about 20% in little under a half hour. I could find no troublesome apps eating up proc time other than the Android Kernel.
The phone also seems a lot more stable now - had some painful issues with the FB app and TW crashing yesterday prior to my updating.
What has your user experience been with the new official build?
As far as lingering bugs go, there still seems to be a synchronization bug with the Mail app, which existed in FF18.
I'm curious what others' mileage has been with FH13, along with any noticeable improvements, recurring issues, or new issues that have come up with this deployment.
I'm sorely disappointed with what seems to be Samsung's approach of BETA testing their product half-baked updates with their end users. I'm also dreading any possible Jellybean 4.1 update after the issues we've had with 4.0.4 ICS.
Coming from HTC, they were at least "quicker on their feet" to update their devices (we can blame Sprint for some of the lag time) and resolve bugs.
Thank you in advance for your feedback.

Blues, I saw both threads but am trying to start a conversation specific to the Samsung version - not a comparison to leaked builds vs production builds.

Somebody already verified that the leaked = official with 3 minor folders not included in the official for whatever reason.

Here is the reference on the file differences.. not folders. Just clarifying.

What happened to the ICS-Twist (EK02) theme??

This was my favorite theme so far, and now the thread has mysteriously disappeared.
What gives?
Seriously, I was gonna give it a shot tonight and now it's gone?

Good thing I got it before it was gone. Maybe due to issues, better yet just ask AvatarOfFrost im sure he had his reasons. It was a nice theme though.
i tried to download the ek02 ver last night but it said "pending bug fixes"....maybe theyre fixing stuff?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
seeing as there are some things i like within both the ics theme and the ics twist 2.0 theme but since there are some bugs with the twisted theme ive simply just extracted the zip file for ics twist and replaced some of the system apps while still running ics theme 1.9.2 NICE it came out well plus im running this over rooted stock 2.3.6 everything works great.
It went poof because he knew someone would ask in the wrong forum. Q&A or general nextime please.

If you guys had not found this, yet, they both moved and renamed the thread to a new area with the latest version (1.9.2). See below:

Bahahaha.... Thats hilarious.
Whats funny is he probably tripped over news for ANOTHER Samsung device.
There never was an FC09 build for the E4GT that was tested by Sprint. But seeing as how there are plenty of other Samsung devices using the same naming scheme for builds.....

			
				
Wrong Epic, right version.

Doubt it. Thats probably the release number for a gingerbread OTA update with a few bug fixes for the original epic.

Thanks for the clarification. I gave my OG Epic to my brother-in-law to play around with. It's no longer activated so he's just been messing around with WiFi and can use it to make calls with Google Voice via WiFi.
If it was about to get an ICS official update I was going to temporarily reclaim it. lol

I'm pretty sure it is for the GSIII
It's probably for all the unlocked GSM Galaxy Nexus phones on their network.
I think we should all head over to T-Mobile forums and make sure they upgrade us to jb

It took 8 months to roll out ICS to our phones, I highly doubt they'll be seeing JB any time soon, if at all.

Oh i think we will get JB but not for a year at least.
I am pretty sure that that app was on my phone after I got the official ICS update. It just replaces the my account app we have now it is just a web link
Edit nevermind I see it wasnt the app but 4.1 he was asking about. Guess I should ead a litter closer next time.
So out of curiosity, has anyone tried to download and use this? lol

but its not like jb is that big of a jump from ics like ics was from gb, we should be getting it, albeit a little later but we should get it

Anyone know the earliest date we can manually upgrade to JB?

Didn't expect smart ass responses, then again, maybe I should have.
I thought maybe, just possibly, a leaked version of the update exist.

Patience man! It'll be out soon enough and then people will be asking about the Key Lime Pie update. It never ends so just enjoy the options that are there and READ the forums to learn about those options.

Yea, I might just root and flash CM10. I just wanted to stay away from the flashing game, did it on my G1 and SGS1.

Where is the official CM11 thread?

I can't find an official CM11 thread. I have been on the recent nighties and things have been awesome. Not a single bug that I am aware of and great battery life.
Keep in mind today was a very light usage day but I haven't seen figures like this in a very long time.

I second swordrune, I'm running his rom now and its running great.
nerds, how much keep awake time is google play using on yours? I had an issue where play was killing me basically staying on all the time. I reflashed everything and it seems to be better but I didnt enable ART this time. Don't know if that caused the issue or not.
It's kind of a shame cause some of us use XDA as a list of ROMs avaliable. I was very late to try PA2 cause there wasnt a thread in the dev section.
