LOL WOW

if this continues will never get 2.3. they should just drop 2.2 all together and go directly to pushing 2.3 update instead or 2.4 which ever

EC05 or newer version?

Seriously? They'll have another update on the 1st? If so, I hope it's an update to the brightness/battery life. If that's the case, I'll be happy as a clam!
Nice job, Samsung! Honestly!

Perhaps this is the solution for those on EB13..... That would make the most sense. It was stupid to release an OTA that didn't support DI18 AND EB13.... Freakin' brilliant Sprint........

Does anyone know how many EB13 updates actually went through OTA? Im just thinking that they just figure anyone with that botched version has already visited the sprint store and returned to DI18... and im sure they wouldn't take responsibility for the Samsung .exe. I just hope they didn't ignore EB13 instead making updates for DG27, etc... just because they are official... they should just tell sales reps to check the OS version (lol i know), in case they have old stock that still has that preloaded. I just hope they do whatever the hell theyre going to do, and call it good. That way the real Devs here, not the paid ones, can fix/improve on what they did. I think they are just getting us all too wrapped up in updates, which is really just slowing XDA development.
*deleted rant about sprintsung.... its all been said* All I have to say, is its going to take a REALLY badass SGS2, preloaded with the highest OS version possible at launch, or Im looking at the already outdated hardware of the Nexus or see if I can deal with the non-amoled of the evo3d. These updates bum me out.

I'll just be happy when CM7 is more polished than Alpha 1 (Which is remakably good for a first alpha) and fully usable. The heck with Samsung's updates.

Thats only gay if you clean it off with your tongue. Otherwise its just silly good natured fun.

Lol Sprint Within...that makes me laugh

Names aside, the significant old news -- albeit speculatively based upon this one web page from the aftermarket manufacturer/vendor of the gel case -- is that the Sprint "Within" apparently has no keyboard.

There's a little Sprint within you, and you, and you...

Looks like everyone but the U.S. is getting the Samsung Galaxy S II one way or the other and it seems like future owners have been waiting an eternity to get one. Hopefully Sprint will launch its version of the phone in a matter of weeks as what is believed to be called the Galaxy Within has been allegedly pictured above.
As you can see in the comparison shot we've put together below, the basic lines and what appear to be specifications are quite the same. Give or take a couple of details, you still have your eight-megapixel at the back but this time above the flash --which also seems larger -- instead of its left.
The Sprint logo should clear any doubts of the destination for the Within and the side buttons/rockers seem to match. With its 1.2GHz Exynos CPU coupled with 1GB of RAM, 4.3-inch Super AMOLEDPlus screen and a two-megapixel front facing camera, the Galaxy Within would be the EVO 3D's strongest competitor on Sprint. For all of you out there waiting, it should be coming soon -- late July according to rumors -- and with Android 2.3.4 at that!

Sprint within sounds corny... now..

ls there a reason to upgrade from the Epic? I'm only a year into my contract with Sprint. Is there a way to get a discount on the Within and then sell the Epic on Ebay?

I had to upgrade in July due to a weird Premier loophole that allows me one more yearly update that expired 7/31, so I'm praying that this baby comes out in August so I can exchange for it. C'MON GSII on Sprint!

Yeah, I was already in the Nexus One forum by mistake. I have it bookmarked and brought it up by default, then realized afterwards lol.
So, I posted there too

Wow is this awesome. I live HTC just for the fact they listened and realized and changed their mind. They deserve to make a ton of money for this alone.

so ytf did they do it in the first place
it's a bit late isn't it? the sensation and flier are already locked...

Great news for the XDA & HTC gang!!

Good move by HTC lol. Motorola should be following its leader and listen to us too since they don't know how to make a decent skin

Are they going to release updates to unlock bootloaders on existing phones? Seems like a bit of a slap to say this just after they've released a new line of phones (Desire S, Sensation, Incredible S)?
Still, better this than nothing.

Cool move.. HTC+Android rulez

There has been no comment yet as to whether they will make this retro to other devices. There is no technical impediment to doing so although resources would have to be applied to it on their end. Mentioned on another forum was that even if they do not go there themselves they can back door it to any number of sources in the community. I picked up an sgs2 right as they came but might have waited a little longer and looked harder at the sensation if I had known they were going to reverse their corporate direction regarding locked bootloaders.

It would be cool if they fully unlock the bootloader on the Nexus One. We currently don't have fastboot access to all the partitions.

Just an update to this, in case anyone missed it.
Yesterday androidandme report HTC is releasing an OTA to unlock the bootloaders of the Sensation..

Yep, does look better for the Sensations unlocked bootloader. Another article at tmonews here

Gingerbread for Vibrant coming late this summer?

Just bumped upon this tweet by samsung canada saying that gingerbread update will be available for vibrant and fascinate late this summer.

So since this tweet is from samsung canada, will the update only be available to candian carriers? And is the hardware same on tmoile us and canada? And will we get stable gps even if we dont get the update in us? I was just full of questions when i saw this. What do u think guys?

Im not sure if the Canada updates apply to us tho, if those are really for the US carriers then that would be great, tho we already have semi working/stable gps on several gingerbread roms including CM7, really all i would care about is the source drops, once we get source we can make gps work better than it ever will with stock gps. Not to mention improvements on existing gingerbread roms, and the potential for ICS support from the CM team when that drops.

The Canadian Vibrant is not the same device as the US version thus the ROM would be incompatible, but maybe this is a step towards it finally coming to US markets. We will see.

Nope, Canadian fascinate = t959d, tmo-us vibrant = t959. We figured it out when the telus fascinate got before use and still had battery drain, key mapping and stability issues.

Xplay Updates Straight From Verizon

My take is, it is definitely getting 2.3.4 and 2.3.6 but no time as to when, and 4.0 is possible but no official word yet.

Those mother ****ers. Instead of ICS in April, they are gonna give us 2.3.4 or 2.3.6
Could you not see that happening?

I just got off from live chat with verizon and the rep told me that she does not know if it will get an ics update but it will more then likely. I can about guarantee you none of these reps know anything about any of this they just have a list to of catch phrases to say for each phone to keep the customers content until there contract is up, or they get the one year upgrade.
Just got off from another chat with a different agent and she said there is no way for them to confirm any kind of update for the device. I have screenshots if you want proof.

Typical Verizon run around. I don't think they have a damn clue.

I doubt they do the rep tired to sell me the galaxy nexus, she was going on and on about it already having ics on it and i should get that phone if i wanted ics. I told her that if verizon doesnt update the play there isnt a chance i would upgrade my device i would switch networks.

Verizon takes forever to get updates out. We'll probably see 2.3.4 when 4.0 is out.

Until another network has equal voice quality, and voice/data coverage, they won't loose customers.

There will be an intermediary release before the VZW Xperia Play receives ICS, but it will receive ICS

Just curious but how do you know this? Not slamming you.. just that we have all heard VZ talking out their ass about our R800x...
