Well, maybe two and a half.
I was using FB17 on my old black ET (bought on launch week), before it was bricked.
GPS would not connect. Vlingo was very broken - would not work with a bt car kit unless you manually unlocked the screen.
It was very snappy in my testing though.
I now have a brand new white ET, and I tried FC14.
Exact same problems. None of those were fixed in the last 3 1/2 weeks.
Thank god someone has figured out that you can simply remove vlingo garbage and replace it with a number of dialing apps like google voicedialer. I don't know if it can be done on ICS, but it works very well in EL29 gb roms.
So, GPS is a deal breaker right now, possibly on two somewhat different versions of hardware (old black et vs white new et.) What the hell are the developers thinking not fixing gps?
Also, FC14 was noticeably choppier than both EL29 and FB17. Maybe it was because of the particular widgets/software I used, I don't know. Could be a problem too.
Anyway, any thoughts?

When I started flashin ICS Roms...Couldn't get a lock or very spotty coverage...I tried all the Apps out there for GPS...None worked...What worked best has been used by many people on here...for me it worked the first time and I always get a lock...Here's the deal...
If you are willing to take the time to do it, this seems to work for everyone:
Odin one click back to Gingerbread
Odin flash kernel w/ recovery
Restore nandroid (optional)
Get GPS lock on Gingerbread and keep it on.
Boot to recovery and flash format all zip and ROM.
So Odin one click back to el29 GB...
get CWM there as well...Get your lock...leave it on...Go to CWM...restore your ICS Rom of choice...Reboot...ICS will open up and you will have GPS lock...works everytime...At least it has for me and a lot of people on here...
GPS was the Deal breaker for me as well...I use it a lot...Now I have an ICS Rom for my Daily Driver...
Well GPS hasn't been a strong point for Samsung in general. The devs your referring is Samsung, right? They have the necessary tools, like source code and non-gpl drivers. I'm pretty sure Samsung will get GPS better on ics at some point.
El29 is very refined. I would totally expect it to run smoother than any ics leak at this point.
I don't use any car/voice mode, so I cant comment on that.

It works for a while. Then you lose gps again. It's too much trouble flashing and reflashing, whereas it should just work.
EL29 calks roms is very nice and smooth. Everything works, with a proper theme it looks a lot like ICS. It's just not worth it putting up with ICS bugs right now.
The only thing I'm really missing from ICS was the browser.
In the two days I've been running FC15 I've experienced none of what you mention. I think it's the luck of the draw with hardware/software and sprint service in your area. Are you updating your profile and PRL after flashing new modems?
FC15 is the smoothest build I've experienced since EL29 (which remains my goto version if the current ICS build doesn't do the job).
Did you do a complete wipe before installing? Did you make sure to flash the full rather than the nodata version if going from GB to ICS?
I'm certainly not insinuating you are incapable of knowing how to flash new builds but sometimes we overlook the simplest steps which leads to major complications.
If you've done all the above (including using Calkulin's format all) and still experience these issues then I'd definitely stick with EL29 for awhile longer.
My gps locks faster than ever. It's insane. I used gps all over CT, RI, and MA this weekend and was perfect. Didn't even get confused by 95 exchange in Providence.

Of course el29 will be smoother it's an official release. It isn't the developers fault GPS is goofy on ics either they been working hard to fix it... maybe you should read the bug list before you flash anything. Nothing will be completely stable until an official release is out thank the devs they got us this far and at least we can use most ics roms as a daily driver... a couple months ago no one can even get ics to function now look were we Are.

I was talking about Samsung developers, not xda developers. Maybe I should have clarified. But I thought it was self-evident, since there's no source code for ICS available yet (and probably won't be for months.)
As for bug lists - ICS roms threads simply don't have them. So please don't patronize and act all butthurt for no reason.

Stick with EL29 until the official ICS is available. With any luck we aren't far off.

It is hard to not flash and I'm only a recent flashaholic (boy do I wish I'd paid more attention to XDA when I had my EVO 4G, would've saved me the mistake of buying the POS 3D).
After FC07 I was going to stick with EL29 until the official release came out but then the 13, 14 and 15 leaked builds came out with overall good reviews so I dove in again and so far I haven't regretted it.
Official release date, who knows, this is Sprint after all but with the leaks coming fast and furious common sense would dictate it can't be too far off (at least we hope).

You are aware of the difference between "unknown dev-state leaks" versus "official releases", right? Also that devs post leaks for us to test and report back bugs, of which there are multiple threads containing these lists, right? The issues you report have been answered in several threads, several times.
My gps has worked in every FC ICS build so far. (Lucky me I guess)
Few things that don't work, error out.
Accuweather daemon sometimes FC's.
Moving apps to SD card a bit wonkey. Currently doesn't move them to the ACTUAL SD but to "usb storage" on the phone. FC15 only.
A handful of apps still aren't compatible with ICS. (NOT the rom fault).
Signal bar info isn't correct on any build pre FC15.
Market sometimes takes awhile to actually start downloading apps.
GPS sometimes doesn't turn OFF. <- eating your battery VERY quickly.

I wasn't reporting anything. I was just reflecting on how in 3.5 weeks of my absence, the most blatant deal breaker bugs have not been fixed.
I've never flashed an ICS rom but I use FC15 modem with blazer 4.0 and It's possibly the best modem I've used with this phone. Smooth as can be and what seems to be better data speeds than the other modems.

If you have not done the maintenence update that probably what it is. The update will NOT come OTA until after June 22. Its only going to be available through kies for now.

Well considering the gs3 drops tomorrow, you would be right. But its not sprint alone holding it up, Samsung is trying to fix the brick bug in the kernel before releasing so they don't end up with 1 million bricked devices from performing a factory reset. Idk about you but I'd rather wait for something that works right and is stable than rush into something that could potentially destroy my device.

Notice 4.0.3? WE have 4.0.4...
FD26 was the best leak we had and was completely OTA worthy and it was 4.0.3 but they restarted with 4.0.4.

Preorders I think are still on time a friend of mine got his tracking number for his and it's scheduled for delivery tomorrow. The delay on the ICS was cuz they found the brick bug and it can even brick from a factory reset in settings so it wasn't safe to release into the wild yet, especially since it would be samsungs fault and they would have to eat the cost on every device bricked, that would be financial suicide since it affects even unrooted devices and sprints go to fix is a factory reset. Imagine how many bricks would pour in in the first few days alone, let alone the period of time it took to push out a fix for it. I'm not in a huge rush for the ota tho since I prefer AOSP, I just want the damn kernel source like NAOW. That's the only thing I'm impatient for. But for now I can survive, its not like we don't have plenty of development to hold us while we wait it will come soon enough, I'm just glad for once they aren't rushing out firmware with issues like the initial release of the et4g with the LoS bug. Samsung is actually trying to step up their development image and compete with other manufacturers a little more compared to previously. They have come a long way since I had the intercept, that thing was flaky as hell and never made it past froyo.

All ICS kernels so far have had the brick bug, its tied to MMC_erase_cap I believe is the string that causes the write error that damages the eMMC chip by writing to a partition that's not supposed to be written to.

After starting with the G1 I never buy any devices expecting anything as far as updates.
I'm rocking a 10.1 gt I bought on launch day. I've been running cm9 without a working camera for months.
I really don't understand the constant hand wringing over updates. The ICS ota will be here when its ready.
Its not like this phone just launched and it's going to be stuck on GB.
We have an outstanding development community that is providing us with a plethora of ROMs.
Most of the people clamoring for source just want a signature that says, "Rockingasupercoolkernelbro."
AT&T and T-Mobile have a 4.0.3 update with many of the same or more bugs. Who cares?
Our update will be here when it's ready. Enjoy the leaks and tremendous ROMs that we are lucky to have for the time being.
If the current kernels aren't giving you enough display time then invest in a spare battery and reevaluate what's important in your life.

I'm running aokp with on-screen nav bar and the soft keys disabled, just couldn't handle the things missing in GB after all this time on AoKP. And I've had 0 bugs since about April when i started modifying aokp myself off of TCPs ports. Hell I haven't rebooted my device in 2 weeks since the last time I flashed a new build.

Ehh I don't have 4g in my area and where I get 4g I'm not there much so going to network settings to turn it on isn't a huge deal for me. Although if i had 4g I'd probably just make a shortcut to the setting with anycut or something similar. I'm pretty picky too that's why whenever I try to go back to GB a few small things missing make it seem so lacking even tho they are minor things, like the webos recent apps, the customization of the dropdown and lockscreen and a few other little settings/customizations that I always seem to crave when I'm on GB. I go back to a GB backup every now and then to update prl and profile and i can never stay on more than an hour or so b4 I'm running back to one of my AOkP backups

Someone please help. I've been up and down forums looking for the answer.
I've flashed cm9, aokp, Calkulin's, and quite a few more and now with the official release of ICS for e4gt, the STOCK ROM for it as well.
I've also flashed numerous modems (more than half of what is out there now) and to no avail im getting .16Mb DL and .38Mb UL.
It makes the phone nearly unusable on 3g/4g, yet wifi works perfectly.
I've updated Profile AND PRL, I've done a clean wipe, cache partition, and dalvik. I've pretty much followed every rule there is about rooting and ROMs carefully.
I need some major help or at least someone tell me that I'm doomed with GB for the rest of my phones existence, I really need an answer because its driving me nuts.
All help is beyond greatly appreciated.

indeed i have. i am currently running the new OTA stock, equip with FF18.
I was on a custom TSM_Revamped so i had to force the update. i did not receive the OTA automatically, if that matters.
I had the same issues with Ics. I reverted back to GB roms for my speeds. All I can say is wait a bit and see if some devs push out re worked kernels for the ics since source is out and about. I had best luck with the ff11 modem. But when I updated the profile and prl it became worse. So keep your head high. and hopefully the awesome devs do some magic for the kernals

Two friends of mine and myself all have the E4GT and have upgraded to FF18 using the One-Click Factory Reset package.
Pretty much what happens is that when I connect to 4G, my upload speeds are now around 150kbps down and 1500kbps up, when they used to hit around 5000kbps up and 1500kbps down. We are all having the same issue and live in NYC.
I've reverted back to EK02 using your One-Click, ran speedtests again and everything worked fine. I then let the OTA of EL29 install and 4G also works fine on that one. I then tried installing FF18 again and 4G speeds were back at 100-150kbps. I've tried the FF18 rooted, FF18 stock, and tried just using the recovery to run the update package from my SDCard while on stock EL29 and they all yield the same result.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for all of your help!

Sorry dude, i'm still running a GB Rom due to this issue. Haven't found any answer yet either. I'm just trying to be patient until cyanogen adds this to the official beta/nightlies list to reflash and try again. This sucks

I notice that under your name it says your from Brooklyn... As mentioned in my post, my 2 friends and I are in NYC also. 2 of us are in Queens and one in Hempstead.
Maybe it is a location based issue. Something with the towers...

That's what i had thought at first but i heard the same from people in DC as well as a few other big cities. However the problem isn't consistent and appears to be few and far between with the users having this problem (or they're just not commenting). No one has a definitive answer yet. I'm in the "wait and see" stage since the official ICS has dropped for the e4gt and hope that someone fixes the problem along the line.
ICS is just too pretty not to have lol. If i hear or do anything that fixes the problem, i'll be sure to post it up.
p.s. data speeds are decent in Manhattan though but still not "4g" even thought it shows the bars. It's better but not top speeds.
Sorry I couldn't be much help

I've only noticed ping has really sucked on ICS for this phone.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see. I at least take comfort in knowing Cyanogen is taking a crack at the fix

I'm in NYC, just updated to 4.0.4 (FF18) and see that I should have stayed on the leaked 4.0.3 (FD19) ROM I was already on!! I posted in that other thread. I'm calling Sprint now.

It wouldn't have mattered. If you stood on FD19 the 4g would had crapped out on you sooner or later. I started off good I had perfectly working 4g on every ICS builds even on FF 18. It just crapped out on me out of nowhere. Reverting to an older ICS leak does not fix it. Only gingerbread will fix it..

In case anyone in here hasn't heard, there are some new leaks, which fix the 4G issue. I'm on FI03 right now. Check it out here and give props to the devs!
These are leaks btw, so you will need to flash your odin skills.
Hey there was a system update for the GS2 on sprint. I think it waz 1F27 or something maybe if27. Any way it showed the android update guy but the phone is still running 4.0.4. The phone is completely stock and not rooted. This update came OTA a little after 4:30am EST.
That'd be FI27, its been available 'round here for quite a while and is currently the latest ICS build available from Sprint. We're all waiting around for another JB leak/release
does it help with battery life?
Oh ok. I thought it must have been too soon for JB without having a specifc announcement or leak.

I just got that update about 2 weeks ago. Didn't change much!
