[Q] Questions about Sprint Epic 4G Touch - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Sorry if this has been asked/answered before but as usual, Sprint isn't providing me with answers.
First, will the new phone run NetFlix? I've tried some hacked versions on my Android tablet with some success so I'm hopefull on this isuee.
Second, does it support Wi-Fi Direct? I've seen conflicting information and the yahoos at Sprint don't even know what this means.
Ok, one more for good measure, why no NFC? I thought this would be cool to have even if it has limited use in the US.

On the Netflix issue, I can't see why it would not work. I had an Evo 4G and an Evo 3D (which I returned) and both ran Netflix just fine. It'd be REALLY stupid if it didn't.

I believe the reason he posted it here is because this is the Sprint version of the galaxy s2. The dumb-asses at Sprint decided to give it a near identical name to the Epic 4G by calling it the Epic 4g Touch.

That is a dumb ass thing to do! Thanks for the clarifcation.
I can see its going to get pretty confusing round here soon

Yep - thank's Sprint. I came here because this is where all the cool people are. Anyway, I guess I'll wait and see what happens when the phone shows up. Can't wait to get the thing rooted...

Do the current S2's that people are using support Wi-Fi Direct? I can't imagine Samsung would add that just to the US versions if nobody else has it already.

Confusing is right. I'm kinda hoping that a separate thread is started. OR, even better--that the rooting/flashing processes described for the existing sg2's work on the US variants!

Wonder why there isn't an Xda Epic 4G touch forum thread up yet.

Yes, yes, and probably hardware limitations.

I have been reading up on the international version of the SGS2 and it has a FM Radio that you can use to listen to your local stations. Now does the Sprint version works with this or has Sprint disabled it again like they did with the TP2.

CDMA Desire

Is there any possible way to get a forum for the CDMA Desire? I just switched from Verizon to US Cellular and this its driving me insane. The Mesmerize has it's own forum and that's not as important as this. At least the Fascinate and Mesmerize are both CDMA. Please I'd even be willing to do the work to help make it. And before anybody here decides to say something stupid like just get a Mesmerize, if that's what I wanted I would have. Keep those comments to yourself. I had a Fascinate, I wanted to go back to HTC.

looks like you beat me to the thread. it would be nice to have a seperate forum for the cdma desire. its disappointing seeing all these threads for new roms that only work on the gsm desire. It's almost impossible to find a rom for the cdma desire. is CM6 the only thing out there? i switched from a nexus one to a desire only because i cant get 3G with the nexus one on the network here in alaska
I'm running a stock deodexed rom with A2SD. I'll post the link tomorrow. At work right now. There's not a lot but I hear CM is very stable on this. I might try it. Hopefully the mods notice this thread. It's hard for me, I had the Incredible, DX, and Fascinate so I'm used to everything being right there.

yeah man tell me about it. Now its like 98% percent of whats out there wont work with the bravoC. makes me want to go back to my N1 but im liking my 3G . id be happy with a non rooted sense 2.2 rom. one can only wish
I would LOVE to have a cdma Desire forum. For many ACG carriers the Desire is the flagship phone, really sad to see it not getting much love on XDA.
The following Roms are available for BravoC: They are all AOSP because there is no sense froyo rom to use as a base; personally I hate sense and much prefer AOSP.

i bought the TMobile one on day one so i was out of luck. I prefer not to be on ATT. I have cable, internet, wireless from the same company so i get a discount. plus with this company theres no cap on my wireless data usage or no bandwidth cap on my home internet, which is a plus
edit: just saw you're from anchorage, i have gci
if you have GCI you DO have a data cap on your cable modem. Those assholes got rid of unlimited traffic cable modems in august.

Bump. Come on people great device with lots of support so how about some CDMA love.
Comment deleted - bah xda app... processing... processing
I am not being rude but, why not try sending a pm to one of the forum admins with this request? May be more productive than just talking about it
I agree with what has been said... the forum would be less cluttered and as a result, it would avoid a lot of confusion on this matter.

Agreed and I'm not normally one to clutter or post nonsense but I figured I'd give *****ing a try because I know of people that have pm admin already to no avail. I will try it though.

If PM'ing doesn't work, we can just make a new thread in the wrong forum and wait for a moderator to come across it to move it. that way it WILL get noticed right away

If there's a forum for each of the samsung galaxy S phones, those are the same phones just on different networks right? correct me if im wrong. That being the case, im sure there can be a BravoC forum. Everyday it feels like im looking at a forum for a phone i don't own. Which is half true.

Kinda stupid but...

Will the Samsung Epic 4G ever get official CyanogenMod Support? I just got one and opened it this morning and I'm regretting it a little bit. I could still change it for the Evo, but I like this phone, so I was just wondering if more developers will support this device and if it'll ever have official CM support...? Thanks.
Definitely stupid, no kinda about it.
If you had bothered to look around for less than 5 minutes you'd have seen that there is currently a CM7 port in progress that meets criterion for Official support and just needs to be submitted to receive official support.
Damn I didn't know you could Search my entire history and see that I didn't read that Thread? Oh wait, you can't... and hold on, I did.
It is just a port though. When's it going to be submitted? And also, how about Gingerbread? Samsung's been known for leaving a lot of their phones behind... you think we'll ever get Gingerbread or not?
It will be submitted when it's complete, if you read it like you say you did you would know that, and the Evo doesn't exactly have an official Gingerbread either so that would hardly be a logical criterion in keeping the phone.
Yeah, but it does have official CM7 support, and if you asked me which manufacturer I'd believe in more to provide me some Christmas Treats, I'd say HTC. Oh, and the neighbors loud music.
Hey I traded my evo for an epic and it has its pros and cons. It really is a much better device, better screen, faster, and it has the physical keyboard. The big down side is there is not as many devs on it.
There is a team right now working on build CM7 from source for the epic so it will then be supported by the cm team. They are getting close but there still are some bugs.
If I was you I would hold on to the epic its a pretty damn good phone.
Edit: CM will only support a CM rom if its built from source, so as right now its not supported by cm. But from what I understand they are still helping.
I strongly agree with what you said, and for that, I will hold onto the phone. Thanks for that.

Might work pending hardware, not sure if eveything is exactly the same.
OMG this is really what I most care about, I am addicted to CM7 roms and absolutely love them. I expect the original CM7 nighties from GS2 won't work because of radio issues just like the nexus s roms didn't work on nexus s 4g for sprint, but I hope just like from nexus s to nexus s 4g that it will be minor tweaks so that it will be done fairly quickly.

They will not work. They have to be built for this particular device. It needs to have support for Wimax and the Sprint network.
If you want CM on this phone we have to hope a DEV will work on it.

We could set up a donation pool to get Decad3nce an E4GT to work on....
best to just wait and see. CM teams are awesome and normally don't want a donation pool. I bet a very good developer will come around and push CM onto it. It's the first Galaxy SII in the USA...
now if nobody jumps on then we should consider getting a dev a phone.
maybe he'll convince samsung to stop using garbage A2DP drivers....that would be awesome.
I've been using CM exclusively on my EVO since around christmas because the bluetooth audio streaming to my head unit in my car is so horrible. I don't know why he's the only one who's got it right. I plan on getting my GS2 in the next few days, and as much as i'm looking forward to it, I'm NOT looking forward to losing that crystal clear audio that only CM roms seem to provide.
Well no offense but it worked great on my Samsung Epic for Bluetooth streaming. Sorry the Evo didn't. I think that was just rushed BT compilation if CM was the only stable and clear offering. You will be much happier on this phone. Samsung gets the media portions of these phones right. Atleast for me they seem to be great. Though HTC's new Beats partnership could be enticing.

Samsung Galaxy S II gets Android 2.3.6 update

I haven't seen this posted anywhere yet, and yes, I know there's another thread about the "confirmed" Dec update from a top dev but I figured this is worthy of its own thread. Sounds like the update might only be for the GSM versions of the phone, and we might have to wait for our specific Epic Touch update, but things must be close at this point.

Indeed my friend.
Sent from the future.
Carriers hold back updates??? They would never do such thing.
I know some updates the carrier has to purchase from the manufacturer and some are free. I don't quite understand where the dividing line is but having to pay for an update would surely slow down a carrier's intention of pushing an update.
Warning about updates
People:
Operating systems are complicated programs.
Whether it's for a desktop PC or a smartphone
there will ALWAYS be bugs. Some bugs only
appear under circumstances that can't be tested
by the manufacturer or service providers. Some bugs
only appear when combined with other applications.
Just know these FACTS:
Manufacturers and service providers aim to make $$$.
They DO NOT make more $$$ when customers are unhappy
and they must provide additional support and services.
Updates and patches will also have bugs.
Custom ROMs will also have bugs.
EVERY new gadget, car or appliance we buy during our lives
WILL HAVE BUGS !
Please accept these words of experience from someone who
has been a gadgetaholic since taking apart a vacuum tube radio
55 YEARS AGO.
Instead of frowning, STOP and look at what we have today
and all the things we can do, that were comic book fantasies
only a short time ago. ENJOY what we have now.
Marvel at what we'll likely be able to do 5 or 10 years from now.

P.S. Samsung released Android 3.2 update for my Galaxy Tab 8.9
this past week. Although it fimproved a few things, it also slowed
down my device. My results were confirmed by a dev on XDA who
built one of the custom ROMS for the 8.9 Tab. POINT IS and as
aforementioned, Samsung is trying. Same applies to Sprint and
our E4GT.
so when they do release this for our phones, will i need to unroot to install it? or can someone make a side load for it so we don't have to? any idea?

This confuses me that people unroot to root again for updates. As long as I have been a part of forums any new updates always come out in a rooted version or a Rom upgrade. We got to do better reading and understanding of what we are doing when we root our phones. This is not a dig directed at you but the million times I hear somebody ask that same question. Smdh

Amen brotha!
Once the first XDA user who knows what they're doing gets an update, it will be posted here so fast that many will find out about it here, not by getting it via OTA. They push them out over several days so most likely there will be a full stock tar to Odin before many of us get it.

Okay.... the international version also came out first.
The international versions of Samsung devices always get it first.
Samsung has proven time and time again that they are more concerned about the international market than they are the U.S.
It's funny how quickly people forget about history when trying to assign blame.
It's like XDA members live their lives to blame the carriers for everything.
Dammit, it's raining and cold out side, stupid Sprint!
It does make me wonder why AT&Ts Skyrocket just got 2.3.6 pushed to it on 11/22 though, which was released almost 2 months after Sprint's E4GT. Then again, why the Skyrocket and not AT&T's non-LTE GSII? Who knows why these guys do what they do.

agreed. I don't think this is an epic fail at all. It seems like there is a 26 day turn around time from testing to roll-out. If anything remains consistent, I'm hoping we see jelly bean sometime mid august.

I can see why people are ungrateful.
First "fix" is developer speak for, "we are tweaking the visuals on your signal bars without actually doing anything helpful."
Second one is to support a Sprint app that I am sure is pay-for.
Last one is a simple toggle preference which I believe is nothing more than a build.prop edit.
Lets not forget what they aren't telling you: That local search will be gimped.
Yeah, I would be pissed and ungrateful too.

Is it really an update? RSSI indicator mod? That is not fixing any type of signal for your phone. It just sounds like a graphic fix to make you feel better.
Wi-fi and LTE defaulted on. I guess this is for the people who do not know they needed to turn it on. Now it will turn automatically once updated. Thing is, unless you are one of the 6 people to be in an LTE market will this really effect you? Bottom line is they need to gimp search and they are probably pressured to do it in a timely fashion. If not for that, you would not be seeing an update.
This is on update that Sprint can have first over Verizon. I will keep my search for now, thank you!
Its a epic fail because of the Be they feed you to update so they can fix some things with out you knowing. How are they not able to just say were going to take search off and give you some pretty lights for signal bars. How does it effect me. I'm with everyone else who thought they were buying pure Google phone. I keep lte off because I don't live in a lte area.
So like he said ^^^ how would this update have anything to do with me.

Gotta love how everyone complains about not getting updates, then when they get an update they're pissed because its not as big as what you expected.

It is there following Verizon but can't seem do any better.
I thought coming fro. T-Mobile Sprint was going to be the **** unlimited data (o yea!) Cheaper and I get a dope ass phone. ( phone is ****ing sexy). But cmon sprint IDC for 4.1 now I just wanna go outside and search the web with my unlimited data at speeds faster then it takes a snail to cross the finish line. And I understand there setting up lte. How long do you think theyll keep it unlimited once the get lte up and running.
Back to topic for those that want to update do you just flash back your bak up off stock and update or do u need to something else.

Why would you want to even take this update? It isn't fixing anything but will be removing things....
I mean, I wouldn't use the stock update anyway, I'm just sticking to cm10 lol.
Can the update and update NAG be stopped ?
