Galaxy S 4G - Epic 4G General

I'm trying to figure out why T-Mobiles galaxy s 4g had froyo and why Samsung can't get it to the other galaxy s phones when they are all essentially the same phone hardware wise and software wise
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

CDMA vs GSM. They have had no problems pushing froyo to their GSM phones across the world. For some reason in the US and especially the CDMA carriers, they cant seem to get it ported correctly.

Makes no sense but I guess that's what rooting is for who's what I'm going g to do when I have a decent computer at my disposal

call samsung and ask... no seriously just install EB13.. you do not have to be rooted to install it.. and bam.. froyooooooooo

Oh I know. I'm waiting for my brother to send me eb13 had it but I dropped my phone and broke it in half so I got my replacement and am back on 2.1 I saw someone post the update somewhere on here nd can't remember where it was posted haha

Samsung has had issues with more than just the Galaxy S phones. They had to stop pushing out the "pre-update" to the Win Phone 7 Samsung devices and they are GSM. Samsung seems to have a problem in general with being able to be consistent.

Its launching in Korea, the home of samsung, and the land of a new phone every month. Latest and greatest there man. I don't even think they have feature phones there. Most people don't have a computer but a big chunk have phones we just dream of.
From a phone on an app
Fwiw, that's the Galaxy K, not the Galaxy S. I know, I'm mad too, but it's not like they're releasing the exact same model of phone with Froyo. We'll get ours, don't worry. Right now I'm just trying to figure out if implementing Voodoo is really worth it, or if I should wait for Froyo before messing around too much.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Yea, being Korean by birth, that's a little offensive to mix up Korea and Japan... It's like calling Americans Canadians because we're from the same continent...
And Samsung is based in Korea, so you'd expect them to have the latest and greatest first. They're trying to use the galaxy s platform as their iphone killer. So you're going to see them continue to make bleeding edge phones...
Our screen is bigger and we'll have 2.2 soon.

Wow, if you're sure it can be done easily from the Nexus S dump then it must be true. Someone who can make a statement like that must have the expertise to whip up some drivers for our CDMA radio, wimax, and all the other stuff that is different in the Epic from the Nexus S. Let me know when all this "pretty easy" work is done so I can flash it.
it can be done easily all we need is cm7 source done

Sure, if easy means that you and all the other super smart guys on the CM teams spend time working on it. As for the OP, I'm guessing he hasn't been committing any code.

Maybe in very minor ways, but the Telus Fascinate is not a CDMA phone unfortunately, so it won't help with the CDMA radio issues.

Well they might not be laughing too long with Google's purchase of Moto. Never know where I'll spend MY money next. They ain't the only game in town. I just posted that on FB
Unbelievable. What is wrong with HTC? I can't believe they'd want to alienate users of one of their recent phones like this.
I saw this on their site
"HTC is committed to assisting customers in unlocking bootloaders for HTC devices. However, certain models may not be unlockable due to operator restrictions. We continue to work with our partners on this, check back often for ongoing updates about unlockable devices."
Which means if Sprint says NO, I guess HTC's hands are tied.
Can someone post a link? I wish to speak my mind

My thinking exactly,I keep coming to remmember when agrbren announced he'd found an exploit ? Then talked to HTC about said exploit,Wondering with a hint of conspiracy if that hole exists in our kernel and they are working to close it? But then they wouldn't have released the 3d and Sensation kernel so fast> just rambling Tirerd need to go to bed, long night tonite.

They are busy there, but they focus on Samsung Phones.... I checked there daily when I used a Transform...
FYI, I don't recommend Samsung phones... They have nice specs, but need replacement Roms to really shine, and even then they still have issues.... My biggest gripe was no CM7 port....

root avalible for stratoshpere?

sorry if this is a dumb question but ive been looking around and cant seem to find an answer, i know it JUST came out but since it was similar to an epic i was wondering if there was a root for it yet, or if the epics methods would work. I know its running gingerbread but im just curious
sorry for being stupid ~_~
I don't believe you will find anyone here on Verizon. You will be better off Googling it or wait for XDA to make a Stratosphere forum.

I would guess that you will need a pre-rooted Odin tar or something as I thought that all the one-clicks were made useless by Gingerbread.

If they take the time to look at the source but without actually having the phone to test it is time consuming. Just wait a week and you will have your own forum and Devs.

They will get their own forum, I am sure. Nexus has one, Epic Touch has one. They are Verizon and not exactly the same phone.
