Re: [RUMOR] Froyo coming Feb. 21 - Androidcentral
 

Froyo or no Froyo, the Epic is still one of the best, fastest and most powerful smartphones on the market. I agree with the "Who Cares" idea, but that's just because I have a custom Froyo ROM and have had for quite awhile. I have gotten really tired of waiting for the "official" release and really won't care too much once it comes out. But that doesn't mean that I don't love this phone. I do. And I will be getting the Galaxy S2 when it comes out. I believe that Sprint is behind the delay, not Samsung.

Re: [RUMOR] Froyo coming Feb. 21 - Androidcentral
 

Well there is one bright side if official Froyo hits..

for one it will allow CM6 to finally be complete..this would then make porting CM7 easier...and that would give us Gingerbread...

I have to agree on Sprint delaying this. I'm still running Eclair due to the custom ROMs having their fair amount of bugs in them. Coming from a TP2 that took forever to see an update to 6.5, this isn't surprising. The 6.5 update sucked, but at least allowed our developers here to make some really good custom ROMs (which is what my wife is running on my old TP2 that she uses now).

OK, that's true. I am looking forward to Cyanogen. But I'm through holding my breath.....:-&

Re: [RUMOR] Froyo coming Feb. 21 - Androidcentral
 

So you think a different "rigorous testing method" was used at released for the shipping of stock 2.1 that had bad GPS, horrible upload speeds and other things I don't remember off the top of my head, compared to how they are testing now? PLEASE!!! This update will probably be far from perfect no matter how long they wait to release it, I just don't know why they keep delaying important fixes in any OS flavor.

If Microsoft is unable to perfectly create a stable, secure OS after 35+ years of experience, Samsung/Sprint isn't going to be able to find every bug and are just prolonging this for some unknown reason and are in cohoots together.

I'm calling shanaghans over this whole fiasco. The carriers should ban together and simply threaten to stop carrying Samsung phones due to lack of support. Then see how long it takes for a stable update to get released. For this reason alone, Sprint and Samsung are to blame here, I'm not going to single out on just one of them.

Re: [RUMOR] Froyo coming Feb. 21 - Androidcentral
 

um... how would the carriers benefit from that? they wouldn't at all.

Re: [RUMOR] Froyo coming Feb. 21 - Androidcentral
 

So if there wasn't an Epic available on Sprint, you wouldn't have an EVO or EVO shift then?

Any sales that would have gone to Samsung would then go to whoever is left in the mix.

It's not like we can take any phone anyway and make it work on Sprint. Trade Samsung for Kyocera, or at the very least make THEM think the subject is on the table, have the carriers unite. Samsung is only concerned with their bottom line, this could very well change their customer service stance, or actually create one.

Re: [RUMOR] Froyo coming Feb. 21 - Androidcentral
 

you have given absolutely 0 reason for the carriers to do that there. They already got you to spend your money on the epic 4g. now they can say "next".

Another Site Confirming Froyo/Feb 21! This time it's real!!!
 

Heres another site,

This time it's sure to be real!!!!

Re: [RUMOR] Froyo coming Feb. 21 - Androidcentral
 

Guys, with or without the update, the Epic is still one of the best phones on the market even 5 months after it's release. It's not just the Epic that hasn't received its update, all US galaxy s customers are still waiting.

Re: [RUMOR] Froyo coming Feb. 21 - Androidcentral
 

Guys..I think you are missing a vital factor..sprint does not need to unite...carriers in the USA have a lot of power..if Sprint wanted to, they could have had samsung release Froyo a month after the Epic came out..if they cared enough...

Let me give you an example..the HTC Hero and the Samsung Moment did not receive any updates stating "hardware isn't good enough"..yet the moment has the same hardware as the Intercept and Transform who are both getting Froyo...

If you consider the i9000 it gets updates very frequently..yet in the US we don't get many at all on any carrier..simple because for it to pass it has to be able to load up all that bloatware sprint has and etc...

As long as carriers are in control..we only get updates when they have time to deal with us :/

Re: [RUMOR] Froyo coming Feb. 21 - Androidcentral
 

That's what the nexus concept was suppose to get around... $888 for a phone? no thanks.

Re: [RUMOR] Froyo coming Feb. 21 - Androidcentral

Re: [RUMOR] Froyo coming Feb. 21 - Androidcentral
 

Didn't T-Mobile release it a week or so back?

Re: [RUMOR] Froyo coming Feb. 21 - Androidcentral
 

You're right, 1 down 3 to go. Forgot about that one.

Re: Another Site Confirming Froyo/Feb 21! This time it's real!!!
 

that just references the other... snake eating it's tail.

Re: [RUMOR] Froyo coming Feb. 21 - Androidcentral
 

If CM6 does get finished do you think it will have 4G?

I loaded CM7 on a friends HD2 last week, pretty nice!!

Re: [RUMOR] Froyo coming Feb. 21 - Androidcentral
 

I'm loving the member activity coming from the Epic section lately. Keep it up fellas!

Re: [RUMOR] Froyo coming Feb. 21 - Androidcentral
 

Thanks, We gotta keep it going in here, and only 690 more post to VIP status or 1560 rep points. lol

Re: Another Site Confirming Froyo/Feb 21! This time it's real!!!
 

I could post 4-5 more sites saying the same thing, doesn't mean it's gonna happen.

Re: Another Site Confirming Froyo/Feb 21! This time it's real!!!
 

any reason you just didnt post this in other thread?

oh gten...

Re: [RUMOR] Froyo coming Feb. 21 - Androidcentral
 

CM6 does not have 4G, sorry :/..there were patches for the EVO CM6 to make ir work so with some modification it might work on our Epics..I don't think CM7 will be hard to get onto our phones once CM6 is ready though..

Oh and Merged..please don't make new threads for same topics, especially if they are on the first page! >.>

Re: [RUMOR] Froyo coming Feb. 21 - Androidcentral
 

I thought I read somewhere that once Froyo is officially released the source code will give them what they need to get 4G.

Re: [RUMOR] Froyo coming Feb. 21 - Androidcentral
 

Where's that flamethrower when you need it.

Re: [RUMOR] Froyo coming Feb. 21 - Androidcentral
 

That might be the case but CM6 has a standard set of features..Wimax is not one of them..it is a feature of CM7..not sure if its part of one of the minor revisions like CM6.2 :/

Re: [RUMOR] Froyo coming Feb. 21 - Androidcentral
 

You know what burns me up...

Seeing a EVO ad in the Epic forums!

I don't get into the device pissing contest, but the EVO/Epic thing reminds me of the old Mogul/Vogue days here. Lol.

Re: [RUMOR] Froyo coming Feb. 21 - Androidcentral
 

Mogul > Vogue ;)

Re: [RUMOR] Froyo coming Feb. 21 - Androidcentral
 

Vogue :headbang:

Now I see a G2 up there.

For the OP: Rumor: EA17 for Samsung Epic 4G Coming Feb. 21st, Fascinate’s Froyo Feb. 22nd | Android Phone Fans

Lol! I've never had a keyboardless device, so...Mogul FTW!

I have to agree. I had the Vogue and ended up "trading up" to the Touch Pro quickly so I could have a decent keyboard. Mogul was OK, but I prefered the slimmer/smaller size of the Vogue.

Re: [RUMOR] Froyo coming Feb. 21 - Androidcentral
 

is this still a froyo/epic thread? call sprint and ask about release of froyo, there saying yes to 21st and they never said yes about other dates.

Re: [RUMOR] Froyo coming Feb. 21 - Androidcentral
 

Nope, this thread was placed in a time machine and sent back 3 years. "What is this froyo thing you speak of? Sounds like a tasty snack."

Re: [RUMOR] Froyo coming Feb. 21 - Androidcentral
