Gingerbread

Is it me? Or does it seem like every phone but the Epic 4G, vibrant, and captivate, have gingerbread or a gingerbread port that has minimum bugs? Why samsung?

Most devs are absorbed into marketing, rather than true power behind the phone. Hence, 90% of developers that have Sprint work on the Evo.
The Galaxy S is heavily underestimated when it comes to great entertainment product.

So are u saying we should trade for an evo 4g. Or evo 3d... and why 3d its a number down from 4g so seems lesser model imageine if apple had done the apple iphone 5 then did 3gs

Really? 4G is the network. Same reason it's an Epic 4G. 3D = 3 Dimensions, it's a 3D screen like 3D movies. They're not sequential version numbers like software, they're describing features of the phone in the name.

Um...........

that maybe, but for the average joe or suzzie who walks into a sprint store and see the evo 3d and evo 4g one would think that the Evo 4g is the newer model and here is why.... lets look at apple...
iphone
iphone 3g
iphone 3gs (s for second edition)
iphone 4
iphone 5? or 4s? or 4gs?
ipad
ipad 2
see they go up in numbers not down....
Also notice how in the name of evo 3d it says nothing about 4g like the evo 4g, evo 4g Sh!tless so i am betting sprint is dumping wimax and the evo 3d is just 3g thus the 3d is refering to 3g data and the d part for the revision d of 3g data...

And how do know if these devs are not some foreign national who wants to take control of our devices (aka china) and use those devices for spying on people they don't like. Image china had come out with a custom rom that recorded everything u do and sends it to them.

Unless theres a good amount of features that I cant live without or be able to install individually through ACS ROM, Ill stick with Froyo. No reason to make my phone more complicated with an entirely new upgrade.

I agree but its worth the wait..

Can we please stay on topic?

Everyday when I come on this forum someone is always talking about the evo or evo 3d. THIS IS NOT THE PLACE FOR THAT TOPIC. Can we please just talk about the epic 4g since this is a epic 4g forum. Save all that evo 3d talk for the evo forums please. Sick of going through pages of evo topics before I find one talking about the epic.

Did you guys hear that Sprint may get an iPhon4S this September! Besides that I'm also sick of hearing people complaining that the Epic is getting out dated because all technology does. It seems like none of you on this forum heard of Moore's Law.
These days it seems like phones are used for everything but making phone calls.

Ugh, capacitive buttons... am I the only one tired of the flakiness of those? I remember it was common in a few of the Epics back around release, but my 'back' button is an inaccurate pain to hit, and I've come to realize I greatly (GREATLY) prefer the click of a button over the buzz of feedback.

Capacitive buttons are much better. They don't wear down as easily as mechanical buttons and you can't get lint in them like physical buttons. The capacitive buttons on the Nexus S are a lot better than on the Epic so I would assume they would at least be just as good, if not better on the SGS2.

Man guys. I got mad today. I went to Tijuana to visit my dad. And when I was driving to his house I see a big billboard that says Samsung galaxy S II. WTF why does Mexico have it before the us. That made me mad lol.

So with Samsung putting out a Gingerbread app for the Epic and no new RDFs who thinks Samsung is still holding up the Gingerbread Orrrrr is Sprint having OTA problems with network outtages across the country and October maintenance. Do they really care if they put out the OTA now or November?

Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

HTC Shift already has GB but ........
Both of my daughters have HTC Shifts; ever since the GB update they've had mucho problemo. So much so that 1 of the phones completely died after all the reboots and freezes (not rooted just stock phones).
sprint did replace that 1, but now the 2nd phone is starting to do the same thing. Guess we'll have to have that 1 replaced in a few weeks too.
I prefer to receive an update that is not riddled with bugs, so they can pacify the "we need an update every 6 months groups".
I have fun playing with the leaks and then going back to my daily; the fact we have those options with this phone is AWESOME.
I am happy for what I have and am not fixated on what I think I should have or am missing.

My thoughts exactly JD.

I'm all for things that make the phone better, but so far I'm not convinced that there's anything all that great for me in GB. I've been running leaks for a while, and they're fine, but I don't see anything too exciting in there. GB, meh.

My theory is that Samsung and Sprint both had Gingerbread hot and ready for release straight from the oven but the second they pulled open the oven, out popped the Gingerbread man and ran away so now they have to catch 'em first before they can start sharing the yummy gingerbread.
