It did actually but I was impressed at his apology for creating the drama. That takes a lot.
I don't see anything about the Epic anymore in the Epic forum. It's all about the SGSII, Evo3D, I'm leaving...wahhhhhhh..cry me a river please, give me lunch money back, etc.
Would be nice to see stuff about the Epic again in the EPIC forums.
I'd much rather read noobnl posts/threads than sift through more and more threads on devices like the Evo/Evo 3D/etc which have nothing to do with the Epic and don't even belong here in the first place, or people griping about how the Epic is undersupported and 'woe iz us' and proudly boasting which manufacturer/device they're moving to because of it and why and all such blather as that as if everyone both wants and deserves to read it.
At the very least noobnl's threads and the reactions within them have some semblance of entertainment value usually.
This is a great phone and there are a ton of fun and interesting things to do with it. I guess I'm just not jaded enough because I don't buy the newest latest 3x a year for full price. No offense to those who do, but the Epic for me at least has plenty of life left in it.

Yep, I agree. I'm not updating until quad core comes out. Dual core is cool, but the main feature of this phone is the gpu, which is just as good as anything coming out for thre rest of the year.

Threads like this are why, counter productive and flamebait.. noobnl whether you like him or not, even if you think he stole everything he ever released, he still contributed more than 3/4s of the people talking ****..

F*** off. Don't come on this forum if you dont like it.
The point is that this is one of Sprint's "top of the line" phones. Why don't I have the bells and whistles that the comperable Evo has? I paid a premium to have this device and all the features its capable of. I'd like to be able to enjoy those highlights.
On a side note if Samsung/Sprint did a little bit better job of keeping everyone in the loop on where they were with updates it wouldn't be such a big deal. I don't need specifics but a ballpark timeline would be nice. It's all about managing people's expectations.

Hopefully fix gps / keyboard issues. My gps locked like a glove on DK28 and closer than I have ever seen on DI18. I enjoyed the new style of text messaging too. Its all about user expierience. Flash would be nice too.
I ran the leaked DK28 build for awhile and enjoyed it quite a bit but it obviously wasn't finished. I'd like to give the finished product a run.
Im in no hurry for froyo til mobile ap starts working on it, wireless tether sucks ass in comoarison, also my gps works great on d118 the only thing froyo will bring me is flash and apps2sd which apps2sd is not even a big deal for me im nit running out of space or anything and my phone does everything I want my phone todo. I dont care if froyo officially doesnt come out til january 2012.

The main thing I want it on my wife's Epic is for C2DM or cloud to device messaging for third party apps. I'd like it so that apps can use less battery power that do notifications among other things.
Also the JIT's kinda nice too..
I haven't done any complaining about it on the forum but one would think one of the best/most expensive android phones on the market would come with the latest version of Android. Anyway personally I went back to running 2.1 with Phoenix/Syndicate Rom after trying a whole slew of 2.2 ROMs. I'll just wait around for the official Froyo and try not to think about it....
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.
It seems like we're at a cross-road with our devices. Recent issues clearly have lead to unexpected circumstances, yet we're on the horizon of Gingerbread. Though ACS was huge and there were lots of expectations for ING, clearly a different direction is at hand if you jumped on that train. (Please correct me if I'm wrong to members of both organizations, I think many would welcome continuity, if possible.) Many, like myself, don't have an upgrade at hand or a couple hundred to shell out for a new phone and thus still depend on the community. What are some of the plans that people have for the future, devs and users alike? Having recently rooted and flashed SRF, I am not as aware of functionality of all availible platforms and figure I'm not alone.
I wouldn't mind if this becomes a consolidation thread for multiple threads of the same concept.
I figure its not a big deal. Remember, tomorrow is the beginning of the rapture, so no matter what we all only have until October 21 to live. I figure the Epic4g can last me until then fairly well, even if I have to stick with SRF 1.1.

That has never stopped a piece of electronics from coming to age late. I wonder if this whole race to GB is their way of realizing the hardware capabilities of Samsung versus the number of eligible customers that will convert to a superior device. Remember, this forum is for those on the cutting edge of the device. Some will continue to buy this device based on the fact that they won't have to live through initial release bugs and then join us. Lots of the gruntwork was thankfully done by k0nane before his departure (thanks k0nane!) but it doesn't mean that we have seen our best Moments, to those making that reference.

Is it just me or is Epic development almost dead?
Two-three months ago there was CM6,MIUI,CM7 and more original roms in the works,what happened?
Yeah i know that for CM7 they are waiting for official GB to drop but what about CM6 that was 90 percent finished and MIUI that was almost finished?
I know that we still got roms but most of them with exception of ACS and few others are mostly remixes and tweaks of stock rom.
Our Epic is way behind Vibrant,Fascinate and Captivate.
It's just you. Don't knock what the amazing developers have done for us. We have plenty of roms and we will have plenty once gingerbread drops.
I agree. Feel free to learn how to dev, though. You won't sound like a detractor from the forum.

dont worry op. i feel for ya.
no disrespect, but what phones did you guys come from. i went through the mogul, the touch, touch pro and then tp2. i mean we had a **** ton of development. not all of it was quality, but i mean, real talk. epic dev just never got off the ground. im totally not ungrateful, and im still learning android and linux, and im going to kick a little ass one of these days. it just wont be with this phone.
like i said. im not a **** talker. look me up at ppcgeeks. ive got 3000 posts (6 thou if you count off topic) and a rep that doubles that.

Damn, I just hit 1,000 posts over there. Big part of it seeming smaller is that the only carrier with the Epic is sprint. Android roms aren't like winmo roms where all you had to do was provision a rom to a particular carrier.

i know im picky, but i like 5 rows (dedicated number row)
i just dont want to leave sprint either. its not just the unlimited data, low prices and yearly upgrade. i just like them. i live in kc mo. right across the state line from sprint worl headquarters. we have a 18000 person arena in downtown called the sprint center. sprint logos are every where. we have the sprint cu at the kansas speedway. i mean it is my home town carrier.

good point
i got more thanks tomorrow.
This is my first experience with custom ROMs and I for one am very content with the amount of development for the Epic. I have looked at other forums and yes there may be a larger following, or more talk about development, but a lot of it seems to be garbage. I have flashed and used a few different ROMs now and they are all solid with few if any bugs. SRF is what I am running now and I have not found a single functionality issue. I also love that the Epic devs continue to improve their product instead of releasing some piece of crap ROM and never touching it again. Also the relatively smaller quantity of development makes things like qbking's videos possible and help all of us learn to better utilize the phones potential.
I say cheers to the devs for what they do and the time they put in! I could never accomplish even a portion of what they do. Thanks guys!

This.
Quality over quantity anyday our devs cook up some amazing stuff for us.

I love this phone. That is all.
Sent from Godot's place.
we have several quality ROMs and Themes to choose from
It should come as no surprise really. There are 3 main reasons why it may seem development is slow:
Small community. Meaning that our sample set in which developers are drawn is smaller. Thankfully, this phone was top notch in hardware when it came out, so it increased our chances of having very talented developers since it naturally drew people who seriously appreciated hardware. Hence, why we have a small number of developers but they're all very very good at what they do. It could have ended up with a small number AND not a lot of quality.
Touchwiz. What I mean by this is that we're still waiting on a fully functional AOSP based rom, with CM7 being the closest to completion. Without it, all there is to develop on is touchwiz, and we've pretty much exhausted what we can do with it (so far). Once there's one ROM on AOSP, that allows for more ROMs to be developed on AOSP. Plus, the completion of CM7 could very well attract developers who prefer to develop on AOSP to try a couple projects, and have simply been waiting for CM to be completed. This all ties in with reason number 3.
Froyo. Like touchwiz, we've pretty much done all we can do with it. With the release of gingerbread, it'll open up a whole new opportunity to develop. Remember, we went through the same thing towards the end of eclair's life. Not a whole lot of development, and everyone really just waiting for froyo. The difference was, however, that everyone was itching SO BAD for froyo that a lot of projects were done on DK28; we were truly behind the times then, and so even the developers were willing to play with a leak. Not so much now; we're not AS behind the curve considering there are still few phones (besides newly released ones) on gingerbread. This, too, is much like the anticipation of an AOSP precedent as mentioned previously: it's quite possible that there are potential developers who are simply waiting for gingerbread to be released before coming to this phone.

can anyone explain to me how the mytouch slide 4g has cm7 and overclocked gingerbread kernels with out gb source?

I don't know, but the easiest explanations are:
More developers? Better chance to figure out the kernel drivers on their own.
It's made by HTC? It's pretty much a known that samsungs kernel drivers are always wacky, and in general, what one phone has doesn't neccessarily help with another. With HTC, their kernel drivers are a little more consistent across phones and it's easier to make things work by borrowing and tweaking.
Linux loaded modules? Don't know if it's relevant, but it's possible to use these to overclock a phone in a round-about way.
There's something that really needs to be laid to rest here regarding the arguement that everybody gives saying "we didn't get cm6 when froyo source was released, so how are we gonna get cm7 just because of gingerbread source?" Two reasons:
One: we only had one dev working on it, noobnl. Now we have a TEAM. And each on is just as if not more talented than him.
Two: we didn't have another device to kang any AOSP driver source from. With cm7, our team borrowed what they could from the nexus s 4g. And rest assured, they DID get a little use out of it.

It's the same phone as every other HTC phone, once they get something working on one all the others get it pretty quickly.

then by the same logic, since the i9000 has gb, we should too? the only difference in the mytouch4g and most other htc phones is a keyboard and 4g. sound familiar?
Im guessing no Gb this month

Personally I don't really care. We are getting good and frequent leaks and I would prefer them to get it right than rush something out. At least they are putting a huge effort into getting us gingerbread.

+1 especially since this will probably be our last official upgrade, so I would want the best they can produce instead of getting the update as soon as possible

Dont get me wrong the leaks are great...but i want them to finish even if buggy and give us the source so some of our guys that know wtf they are doing can have at it and give us some well..epic

as you guys can see, the new builds are becoming more recent. which usually means our time is getting very close to official release.
EH13 not EH17?
This is the EH13 page not EH17.

Nope, it's EH17. Although I do see the EH13 listed in the specs.
Modem perhaps? Especially if it has another version listed within it.
Bleh, I'm getting angry now.
Too many builds.
But, they must think they're close.

They must be getting close. Also samfirmware indicated there would be multiple leaks before the end of the month. There is still a chance that final will be done by the predicted date even though prior history doesn't point to the likelihood of that.

I went from "GB? Who cares?" to "GB! Awesome!" almost to "Whatever." Hope reviews are great and prerooted flash packages are in supply. The pre-Froyo urgency just isn't there but at least they're working on it. And maybe it really does squeeze much more performance out of it.
They don't need to be releasing any final version until they finally get the GPS crash/force close bug fixed, that'll be a deal breaker for thousands of people if they release anything official with that issue still in play.

Hmm... a mis-labeled rdf file? It must be a fake! Time to start a huge stink. /sarcasm. Not trying to start drama, but where's WDM? He must be the one "faking these" again

Exactly my thinking. All these people annoyed at another new build, meanwhile the one we have still doesn't work. Are they expecting Samsung to release it full of holes? With the current version rebooting and having no function GPS, I'm happy to see new versions hitting. Means hopefully they're actually working on the problem.
I still can't understand how what is now a legacy device can possibly give their engineers such problems with the modem and other comm chipsets. It looked to be all solidified in Froyo and now for GB it's the biggest boogeyman?! What are they trying to do...?
The problem isn't how many builds they're making, it's how long will it take them to get it right this time. No one wants the froyo situation to repeat itself with gingerbread.
