just being curious - Epic 4G General

i dont think that the EB13 update that was posted by samsung on the website is the real thing....to be honest i think that is just another test release from the looks of it because they are pushing an update out via OTA that you have to wait for......i mean i messing with the one that samsung posted up and all of the things that it was suppose to fix is not fixed.......im going to wait for the OTA

I think it's already been confirmed in the OTA status thread that it's the same thing from Samsung's website...
EDIT: I guess it has not been confirmed yet. Anybody with an OTA update care to confirm or deny?

Suite yourself, killer, but you're the only person I've seen who's expressed that opinion ever since Samsung got the correct EB13 files up. Yes, at first they had some EB01 files listed, as well as had some misnamed as KB13, but for ~15 hours now they've had EB13 posted, and many people on XDA, including experienced developers, have downloaded, flashed, and started digging into EB13. I feel pretty sure it's the real deal.
I think that the majority of people's issues are coming from bad upgrades/flashes, and they need to A) clear cache (including Dalvik if they're using CWM) and B) if the issues persist they should do a clean wipe/flash.

Clearing the cache is stuff you do when you don't have the official stuff....you shouldn't have to go through all that trouble if it was the official release.....idk.....im going to wait for the OTA and see if there is any difference.....just to be sure

Its the official. The ota is pushed from sprint. Thats the only difference. We may receive small patches and things for other bugs but this is the official froyo for our phones.

I got the ota and I'm having issues no camera,no pics in gallery but they are still on my sd card, no music player I got a player from the market and it works so my music is on my sd card. The music icon is pink also not sure if it is supose to be.

i know the Syndicate development team is waiting for the OTA version before they dig in and do their thing. it might just be a precaution, i really don't know myself. i'm waiting on the OTA so i can send it to them, but if anyone has it, they could do that first. of course once you install it i think it might be too late.

It has been confirmed in multiple threads, there is just 200 pages to sort through since it's release. The files are the EXACT same.

Yea there appears to be an issue with eb14 reading media files. Apparently formatting you memory card then reloading your files resolves that.

No, clearing cache is stuff you do when you want to eliminate the possibility of a preexisting mess screwing up your experience. The only time an OS upgrade will work 100% perfectly and smoothly is by doing a wipe and clean install. If you just flash overtop of what you already have, expect complications.
This is true of all OSes. A clean Ubuntu install will always be more worryproof than upgrading from, say, 9.10 to 10.10. A clean Windows 7 SP1 install will always be smoother than installing SP1 on top of an existing Windows 7 gold install.
At any rates, wipes and clean installs shouldn't be scary or 'unnecessary' to regulars on this forum. It was a whole terrifying 10 minutes of work to resync my phone and get my apps downloading.

No worries here. Root, then use Titanium Backup to save your apps and data. Flash, crash or trash your phone, but just reroot and use Titanium to restore it. And you get your Birds data back.

Internet browser keeps closing after 2.2 OTA leak

This does not appear to be a leaked OTA, since was not intended for publishing. If it were a leaked OTA, it would install on non-rooted devices with no problem. This is probably a later stage test rom. If it were not, the actual OTA would have been leaked as well and not just one that requires multiple steps and no radio to go with it.
Warning!
Do not start a new thread with problems/questions in Development sub-forum. If you have to start a new thread, please do so in General. Else, post in the appropriate thread to which your problem/question relates. 2nd offense results in 3 day vacation. Thanks!
this is just a guess, but maybe you used titanium backup and restored system settings that are causing force closes
OP, in the browser settings disable the plugins and see if it crashes when you goto those sites. I was having this issue and no I didn't have to hard reset to fix it. Basically the issue was Flash 10.1 for me. I had the modified flash apk installed for 2.1 and when I updated to 2.2 it messed something up. To fix this open up titanium, choose backup/restore click on adobe flash and choose uninstall. Now reboot your device and renable the plugin in the browser you should be all set now.
I'm also getting FC's in the browser. This is with plugins disabled, cleared cache, history, cookies, etc... And I didn't restore via Titanium. I can browse for a few minutes and then a FC...

No offense, my friend, but spamming the forums everywhere with the same info in all caps is just a bit obnoxious. I mean, do what you want, but expect people to be annoyed.
read my post on RyanZA fix in batch file. tried V1 and V2.3, both have bugs.

I tried RyanZA's 2-3 batch file fix and I'm not having any problems...to which bugs are you referring?
The bug I’m aware of happens with apps that store data (such as texture) on the sd card outside of the new partition. Some games such as Asphalt 5, Homerun Battle 3d, heavy Gunner, maps... This is a problem with all the lags fixes. If you don't use those apps or apps like that it probably won't affect you.
For instance the load times for Homerun Battle were three times longer on start up, if it started up. I had several times where my phone just shut off. If it eventfully did start it would run fine. Chainfire talks about the bug in his thread found here.

Played around with maps, gps on/off, zillow app., switching back and forth and phone froze on Alpha 1 as well as 2.3. Also this is a know issue and I got it too, on 2.3 I was not able to change fonts. And I hate default font
When i use RyanZA lagfix it works but when i reboot the phone everything gets screwed up anyone have this problem itll take ages to boot up and when it does alot of force closes and widgets outta place etc
Use chainfire. I believe it may be the safest, easily the most automatic one.

[Q] Where is the new Android Market update?

Where's the new Android Market update? I see all of the pictures of the new Market on the tech blogs, but no update love for our Epics? Granted, I'm still on 2.1.1, but what's the deal, yo? Froyo only?
Not sure how they are pushing it out. It isn't just for froyo though. I finally got it yesterday on stock 2.1.

Make sure all of your apps are up to date, it doesn't seem to take unless you have updated everything that has an update in the market.
I got mine after I cleared up remaining updates on both versions (could just be coincidence, but i see merit behind it)
Mine just got updated today... kind of strange as I booted into the old one... was using it and then all of a sudden it was the new one.

I have the Baked snacks rom and it works pretty good but I can't wait for the official Froyo I installed the dk-28 but it was a bit to buggy for me btu great battery life.
I did the manual update for the market and when I did that I noticed that there wasn't a section for widgets like promised. I just went to my market and now there is so that's pretty cool I must have gotten it and not noticed it. And a section for live wallpapers too!!

Opened up the market and saw that I now have the updated version. Wasn't asked to update.
Is it laggy for anyone else? Doesn't force close but seems unresponsive and it seems like it chokes the network. Takes forever to download an app. Maybe it's just me. I even rebooted. Even after reboot, when I try to browse the market, my phone just freezes...
got the update here too. wasn't asked. its laggy as hell. glitchy as hell.
wtf?
im stock.
You have to leave background data on and I would turn auto sync on too for a bit. Open the market and hit the home key so it doesn't close it should do its thing.

I got mine about a week ago by flashing from CWM. However, if you have Titanium Backup you can force the new update out of ram and have it integrate back into rom.

Dk28 issues with te market

Hello everyone. I am running an epic rooted and running 2.2 froyo dk28. Everything was working fine until this morning, I can't update any apps or download any new apps even the paid for ones. The status would show downloading sign for a couple seconds then it would just dissappear from the notifications. Is anybody experiencing the same issues? Please advise.

every once in awhile the market, will do this..
Wait about an hour and try again and it should work.
happens to me every now and then. I usually just do a battery-pull re-boot and that usually fixes things.
Thanks guys. I'll try again in an hour and I'll try the battery pull reboot.

not a problem also here is another tip, if for some reason your downloaded apps from the market dont show up in your my app or my downloads in the market:
goto settings/Applications/market/then clear data and it will fix that market issue too..
Battery pull didn't work. Btw what version are you running? 2.1? 2.2? I keep thinking that the market has already updated so that DK28 softwares can't upgrade or use the market anymore because they are preparing for the new froyo(official, set to be released Feb 21). Still can't update apps or install new apps. I also have used only half of my rom space. About 60-70% has been moved to SD card via a2sd app.

I am using dk28 2.2 as well. The battery pull trick would always fix my issue, but maybe try clearing the data and cache for the market like davidrules said. Also, this is a long shot in the dark, but try updating your "profile" under system updates.

Did they take out game gripper?
I just got the new psx4droid and was gnnause gamegripper which I thought I had but its not there so I guess I neverdownloaded it, but when I go to the market its not there either
Could it be cuz of the xperia play? I thought it was gonna usher in a nw age of gaming for android but its starting to look like its doing the opposite..

Gamegripper as in the ROM finder app? I have it installed on my phone but you're right, it's no longer on the market. As for the n64 emulator, it was removed due to the dev taking it down to re-release it at a later time (after most bug fixes) due to negative feedback.
It does appear that Google is removing these apps due to piracy of ROMs, though.
EDIT: Spelt 'but" wrong. haha

Kind of hints that Play Station Suite is on the horizon.
According to this thread - http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/com..._to_rom_gripper_has_google_remotely/?sort=hot
The gripper was removed due to the ROM database being offline.
I actually know how to get some of those pulled apps...I can't say the site though because of the apps are warez.
you dont need an app to get roms..

Good idea. My opinion is definitely invest in root explorer. It lets you navigate directly to the data/app folder and you can copy+paste the apk to your SD. Plus it has a remount rw/ro button that beats the hell out of using terminal emulator to do it.
