XDA seems a little dead lately?

not alot of rom updates, and not alot of new posts...
is it just me?

it's you. lol

The froyo storm has passed. Now its about getting everything else optimized & possibly having CM sooner then later.

Wait until OTA for 2.2 starts rolling out, there will be a plethora of "OTA bricked my phone" threads

Kinda waiting on that nexus s to come out and see what can be ported over
Constantly Drinking

I think the truth is that there's only but so much one can really talk about here.

The new development is on the horizon - CM is making its way to Vibrant!!!

lul! wut? everyday the devs are releasing updates!

Nooo.... Serious?? Really??? ~
j/k
Ya know what I'll start a poll about who prefers what of the 2.2 ROMS from the Devs in the forum...

I think I'm gonna jump ship for HTC. The battery life even with mods is garbage. I went from 100%-78% in an 47min checking my school email ...I hope they get some activity going as well. Maybe cm will liven up this forum again when it comes out . Also fix batter drinking

HTC = Heavy Tawainese Crap.
You have a defective unit. I just had a 30 minute convo, checked 2 emails and posted a facebook status update. All in the span of an hour and the phone went from 100% to 94%.
People *****ing about GPS and bad battery... You got yours from a bad batch. Probably one of the suckers who got it the first day. That's what happens. Never get a new phone on a launch day! I have none of these problems. NONE!

Actually it is Samsung's poor quality control. This is not an eastern european car, where you have to have "luck" when you buy one.

Froyo delayed until 2011 for SGS

I really hope this is BS, cause the site looks shady. The text looks like it was translated from something. Can anyone confirm this?
http://www.bulletinblips.com/2010/11/samsung-galaxy-s-will-not-be-updated-to.html

Are you serious? The grammar-level of that blog post makes the average youtube comment read like Shakespeare..

lol, i got a chuckle myself. The subject line is like those random facebook spams with the double vouls.

*vowels
This is most-likely a Google Translate (or similar) job. Hence, the grammatical oddness.

Seems like Samsung noticed Noob left and said **** we ain't got anyone else to develop froyo for us.

Always thought they did **** like that...Because you know they have their eyes on xda and sdx to see what the devs are doing.

Thats obviously from across the pond, with the translation creating the grammatical errors, and it mentions Vodafone which is Uk's and Spain's largest carrier, and it refers to our cell phones as terminals lol. At the end, it mentions that it may not be true for its United States users, so I really doubt it pertains to us.

I think where just waiting on sprint. I believe samsung did there part and no where for sprint to finish there part. There has been 3 froyo leaks already. Its just a matter of time

You got me ready to cancel my contract with 5 months left. And join in this epic fun lol.

[Q][Sarcasm] NOT another useless thread..ok it is.

Without a doubt the Epic 4g is definitely the most impressive piece of hand-held hardware I have owned to date. I am a long time HTC user and I can promise I will [probably] never go back. There is no other phone on the market that I would rather have for the uses that I use it for. I made my decision wisely after a lot of research. So with that being said, why in the world is so many people so up in arms and worked up over not getting a 2.2 update? Do you really need flash that bad on your phone? If you're spending that much time using flash sites then why not man up and buy yourself a decent netbook? Seriously I don't understand. The only reason I have ever been upset that I didn't have flash was when I was unable to masturbate to my normal free porn site, and instead had to find a mobile version. An inconvenience, yes, but not to the extreme that I cursed samsung. Besides it's much better to have two hands free (for some of us anyway).
So what is it? You want to brag to the girls at the bar that your Epic can do more mflops than a Amsterdam prostitute? Someone please enlighten me here. My experience with 2.1 has been super smooth, responsive, and no app I can throw at will slow it down. In real world use what is the benefit of 2.2? Oh yeah it would be nice to have the new gmail app with the return/forward at the top instead of the bottom, true, but what else?
If you weren't tied to your phone's benchmark like it was the size of your peni$, what seriously is the Epic 2.1 lacking that a 2.2 update would fix?
edit: Keep an eye out for my new rom: Better than froyo. Completely Stock with madthumbs mobile bookmark baked in.

I wondered the same thing for a long time. If you need flash so bad then download the adobe flash app.
Now most of us are on the leaked froyo I'm seeing crap about gingerbread. What's so special about that is what I really wanna know.

I get mad lag on my stock 2.1 phone. This is my second Epic since launch and both lagged after about 12 hours of uptime.
I brought this phone in to Sprint and of course it decides to be all snappy for them. >:-| So my only hope is for the better task management FroYo offers will remedy the lag. That said, sure the lack of an update sucks, but I'm not sweating it.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Fine, but seriously... lack of 2.2 is not what kills it for me on this phone... it's the damn screen that's calibrated like ass. Being a photographer, I just have to ask myself... who the f wants to stare at a screen that calibrated to a very cool temp?

2.2 won't help you there, but this will: http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/0...-universal-version-takes-aim-at-more-phones/#

Hmmm.... wonder if any Devs know if theres a way to adjust more advanced settings than RGB... thats great, but It would be nice to be able to ISF calibrate this thing, it does have amazing image potential. May even be able to set up profiles for outside, movie, the retarded 'sports' one, oh wait, think its on that... Set up to work well with the lighting at a Sprint store I would assume...

I'd like to be able to use the audio-out function of the expensive factory dock I bought. I'd also appreciate full voice command support.

There is more to Flash than just websites and video. Froyo also gives you the ability to run Adobe Air applications as well as run Flash content. I already have two Air apps that I've been working on that I will be putting on the market once I've got 2.2 on my Epic and can test them myself.
Not to mention that Google has been updating their core apps and some will now require 2.2. I, for one, don't relish the fact that a phone I bought 2 months ago can't run the latest apps.
And please don't tell me to install a custom ROM. I'm new to Android and this is my primary communication device for personal and business use. I'm not really ready to risk screwing it up just yet.

I can see how it would be frustrating if you are using the epic as your only android device to develop on, but don't they have emulators?
I guess my op q was directed more at real world use. Personal and business uses. I've flashed several 2.2 Roms an Always end up back at baked snack for smoothness, reliability, and battery life. I punish this phone as an account executive. I just have never had a smooth experience with any of the 2.2

I was gonna ask what others are looking forward to in 2.3 in the other thread but it got locked =/
So what is everyone looking forward too? Got a specific thing? Me personally I heard Sensor was fixed. No more emulator fix needed =) and obviously an update, which is always a great thing.

This is more of a Samsung/Sprint build thing for the upcoming GB 2.3 build but i read they fixed it so that if you're using the AUX Out, like in your car w/ pandora, and you get a call it routes the sound through your headset so you don't have to unplug it. And yes wtf is up with no 4g in PHX STILL!

We've got 4G all over my city. I even turned it on a couple months ago. The problem for me is that I *never* get it indoors, anywhere. So leaving it on and searching for a signal it rarely finds just sucks up battery with no benefit to me. It's really the biggest disappointment to me, since I spend a lot of time inside, and when I'm outside I'm typically not using my phone much anyway.
With regard to gingerbread, I haven't heard much that gets me excited about it. I'm loving Syndicate ROM and will definitely wait until the ACS team does something with it (gingerbread) before I consider giving up what I've got right now for it.

no what i was saying is if u press and hold the screen then select gallery pic a picture before it would onle be 1 box that you can expand or make smaller now you can pic between a portait or landscape. try it lol. also if you go into battery usage they have a graph of everything thst is using ur battery. my phone has been on for 5 hours with only 1% tws

Tws doesn't decrease battery. Only causes graphical appearance of less battery. I've always had 0% tws

I second this.
Although I haven't tried CM7 Beta for the Epic, I have had an EVO on CM6, and every version since then on my G1. So, I definitely been around the block with Cyanogen Right now I'm running SyndicateROM and think its great.
I guess GB would be better... But, I'd rather have a more stable and feature-full phone.... Lets be honest, there is a lot of unstable **** on this phone...And I'm gonna have to say, All in all, my EVO was a lot more stable.... I admit, I miss: Wiimote + kickstand + Emulators = hours of fun. So, I hope to god my Epic will be able to do it too! ( - kickstand )
Blow Samsung out of the water please. Both of you teams! Please make the Epic, EPIC!!!

I honestly don't know what all the hype is about the evo.. a lot of people not just urself make the evo seem "epic" and I bought into all that was said so I traded my buddy for his evo, and well yeah the sceen bigger but id take AMOLED anyday of the week! And that processer ontop of sense kinda reminded me of my moments days lol, idk I guess maybe the evo a good phone I just really prefer the epic

There is no doubt that i love the Super AMOLED screen. There is WAY more physical things about the Epic that make the EVO look like it was over-hyped... I completely agree...
But i was just mentioning that CyanogenMod on the EVO, is pretty sweet, and i cant wait for a stable release on the Epic. It will have Wiimote support right? (crosses fingers)

I wish the epic got what it deserves. It has the best hardware in sprint. Its an amazing phone. But its soo under appreciated.

It's posts like that where I think people really aren't paying attention to their signal. i've been streaming music from pandora or watching a youtube video and i've seen my signal drop to 0 and then come back, and it's not just "a graphical appearance of less battery" it is actually dropping the signal and then re-authing to sprint's towers... It's a fairly serious thing that noticeably decreases battery life.

So how do you feel?

Waiting for october 22nd and then aweek later and now its what?
The end of november for the expected drop of gb?
I hope you all finally learned your lessons about listening to a bunch of dribble from people who want 15 seconds of fame on a website.
Gingerbread will come officially.
There will be no exact date unless samsung mentions it.
Stop waiting on the playbook everyweek.
Its obviously useless. Come on guys. Stop waking up at 6am refreshing evry minute on wednesdays. When its in the playbook, it'll be made public. Stop asking them everywednesday and Thursday if there's gb for epic.
Wouldn't YOU announce it the second you get the info? Wouldn't YOU get annoyed by the constant hounding the second you wake up because you have to constantly repeat the same thing to everyone (no gb this week)? Wouldn't it feel insulting to your intelligence when you say its not here this week and the next response is "did you read the whole thing?"
Um, I wouldn't answer a question with a straight "yes" or "no" if I wasn't sure. Id expect a majority to be the same, but that's obviously too flattering to the human race.
Please guys. Stop breaking your heads over gingerbread!
It WILL get here. Remember how long it took to go rom eclair to froyo. Do you really xpect samsung to release another update so fast with their obviously inadequate development team which took what? 7 months for the first official froyo? And then another month for an actual stable froyo?
You're all gonna get gray hair. Just chill back, flash one of the few gb roms out there, gt yourself familiar with the differences and then if you don't like it go back to froyo. If you do, then you should be satisfied till the official drop.
I, myself am running eh06 stock and have been sinceit dropped. Its as stable as ec05 for me. I get no reboots unlike everyone else for somereason, I can watch netflix no problem even on 3g, my battery lasts 20 hours.
If this is from 2 builds ago, imagine what official gb is gonna be like.
Its gonna happen soon
As for ICS official, forget it. Don't torture yourself even more.

I had flashed EH06 and seldom had reboots until about two weeks ago. Then it was one after the other. So, I flashed back to Stock--end of reboots. Then I rooted. Finally I used my wifes upgrade and got a ET 4G and gave her the epic. Had to do a reset on that to get rid of my account. It's nice to see 10 of 12 sats in use with accuracy to 9 ft again, and not a single reboot. I (she) can wait for the official. When that comes I'll flash the best rom the devs make for us. In the mean time, I'm enjoying the stuff out of my touch. 16 hours and still 36% of battery left. I figure I'll be able to use my upgrde about the time the Nexus Prime is released.

Yeah I'm not wasting my upgrade just for new software. My epic does everything I need and thensome. Including gps. I just came down to florida from nyc and the gps only crapped out in South Carolina for about 10 miles. Ofcourse, its a straight shot on the 95, but I felt it was the optimal oppurtunity to test eh06 gps capabilities since its a 20 hour drive.
Idk man iguess I lucked out with my epic. I can oc to 1.4 with no problems and run it at 100mhz without wake up lag.
However, if they gaveback the 1 year upgrades, I wouldn't be here right now LOL but I'm not wasting my last 1 year upgrade on a phone that's already been outdated by its own manufacturer (look at the Galaxy SII HD LTE in korea. Its basically the nexus with an exynos.)
Its hard to believe I stuck with my bbcurve for more than 2 years before I upgraded (lol) now phones are being released like candy :/

Since we got the official kernel source and the GPS fix posted I've been feeling pretty good.

Please guys. Stop breaking your heads over gingerbread!
It WILL get here. Remember how long it took to go rom eclair to froyo. Do you really xpect samsung to release another update so fast with their obviously inadequate development team which took what? 7 months for the first official froyo? And then another month for an actual stable froyo?
You're all gonna get gray hair. Just chill back, flash one of the few gb roms out there, gt yourself familiar with the differences and then if you don't like it go back to froyo. If you do, then you should be satisfied till the official drop.
I, myself am running eh06 stock and have been sinceit dropped. Its as stable as ec05 for me. I get no reboots unlike everyone else for somereason, I can watch netflix no problem even on 3g, my battery lasts 20 hours.
If this is from 2 builds ago, imagine what official gb is gonna be like.
Its gonna happen soon
As for ICS official, forget it. Don't torture yourself even more.

Well said, I feel pretty much the same way. I only flashed my first gb rom yesterday, after reading gb rom threads for the last three months, I never saw one that, given the issues, was worth using on my daily phone that just has to work. We all love to tinker and play and get the latest greatest, but its astounding how some of the people here behave. The amount of crying and whining and whining about whining and temper tantrums reguarding this issue is disheartening and disgusting. Just my two cents. It seems that the animosity around here is unusually high lately, and the patience unusually low. Despite that, I have to thank everyone who has been kind to my n00b self, and there have been plenty.

Like I'm standing at the front door of Michelle's house and her mom is telling me that she isn't going to play (doctor) with me because she's over at the new kid's house playing with him.
Stupid new kid.
That's how you made me feel.

How do I feel? Like some people here should get a life outside of their phone. You want Gingerbread...put on a freakin GB ROM. There are plenty and no reboots with the new kernels. Or trade your phone for an HTC piece of crap, gingerbread with plenty of bugs. Either way quit whining, man up and grow a set. Too much freakin estrogen in these threads lately.

part of the reasoning behind this failure to provide an update has to be to force people to the newer model Epic, right? it can't be a coincidence that a GB OTA hasn't been released in the weeks following Samsung's next cornerstone device. Why would they run the risk of getting a 15-month old device remotely on par with one that's only been out a few weeks?

Im betting that we dont get GB untill they have moved on to 2.3.7 or so. Dont really care. Definitely wont buy another samsung device after my Epics life is over.

Lot of free time between jobs...LOL. I am on here to help people looking to make their phone better but lately getting real sick of the whining. It seems some of the people have absolutely nothing going on in their lives but to make threads crying over not getting Gingerbread. I can imagine how they whine over not getting winning lottery numbers at their local store...after all the Lottery says all you need is a dollar and a dream.

I haven't read any of this thread. But I'm responding to the title:
I could care less. We have source. Great things are coming. Boo hoo to all the people who want gingerbread on stock epics, get out of here. Sammy did, in a way, exactly what we wanted them to. Gave us source. They also saved their own asses and didn't have an ota for the people who don't give a crap about gingerbread.
