Samsung Epic 4G Touch Ice Cream Sandwich update in works

Samsung Epic 4G Touch Ice Cream Sandwich update in works

Posted on Feb 20, 2012 by MG1

We all know Samsung will rollout the Android 4.0 update for its super-popular Galaxy S II smartphone later this year. However, Sprint customers may be wondering whether they’ll have to wait longer, since their particular version of the device (Epic 4G Touch) is specific, made to sing along the carrier’s WiMAX network. Plus, Sprint (and other mobile operators for that matter) always want to test the phone software thoroughly before releasing it to the general public, the process that usually ends-up in prolonged wait time for the end-users.

Samsung Epic 4G Touch update pulls Carrier IQ

Samsung Epic 4G Touch update pulls Carrier IQ

Posted on Jan 27, 2012 by MG1

As part of its promise to back away from Carrier IQ on its handsets, Sprint's latest software update for its Samsung Epic 4G Touch removes it. The EL29 update is also said to bring with it a number of other changes, such as a security update, the activation of the Commercial Alert System, and dismissing multiple calendar alerts.
The phones will be updated to version S:D710.10S.EL29. The update will take 10 days to reach all Epic 4G Touch handsets from Sprint, although it may be possible to speed the update through checking manually. Detailed changes, such as a new phone answer screen are present on the device as well.

Best Buy Employee Flips Epic 4G Customer the Bird

Best Buy Employee Flips Epic 4G Customer the Bird

Posted on Sep 22, 2011 by MG1

A member of the Android Central forum uploaded a picture of a Best Buy employee waving his middle finger, which came pre-loaded on his newly purchased Samsung Epic 4G Touch (Galaxy S II) smartphone. After discovering the surprise extra, he sought out a store manager who dismissed the situation, saying it's not uncommon for Best Buy employees to open new merchandise and play with the hardware before boxing them back up and selling as new.
"Yeah I have to admit the camera quality is petty nice, lol. But yeah I spoke to their manager and he just made excuses, 'When we get in new devices the techs like to open them up and explore them a bit,' was his reasoning," Android Central forum member "rem...

Sprint's Samsung Epic 4G Touch available for $99.99 from Walmart Wireless

Sprint's Samsung Epic 4G Touch available for $99.99 from Walmart Wireless

Posted on Sep 13, 2011 by MG1

And we thought that Wirefly’s deal for Sprint’s Samsung Epic 4G Touch was smoking hot. $150 certainly sounded great considering that the carrier itself will ask $50 more right from the start, but now Walmart Wireless has an even better offer – $100 ($99.99 to be more precise)! Of course, putting your signature on a new two-year contract is still required, but that comes as given these days. If you’ve no problem with that, hit this link and secure your Epic 4G Touch unit now… or wait for other carriers to launch their own flavors of the Samsung Galaxy S II (presuming you don’t like or want Sprint).

Sprint Galaxy S II (Epic 4G Touch) outed before announcement

Posted on Aug 31, 2011 by MG1

We’re only a few hours away until Samsung takes the stage and announces the Galaxy S II for the US of A. Just in case you needed a little more confirmation before the official announcement, some slides of the Epic 4G Touch have appeared in a Samsung online training manual.
We already knew that T-Mobile’s version of the GSII, the Hercules, would get a screen bump to 4.5 inches from 4.3, and it looks like the Sprint variant will also gain a couple of fractions of an inch. According to the training slides, the screen is actually 4.52 inches of Super AMOLED Plus goodness, and we’re just fine with that.
The Galaxy S II is Samsung most popular phone to date, selling over five million units before ...

Press shots of the Samsung Epic Touch 4G leak with the September 9 date on the homescreen

Posted on Aug 30, 2011 by MG1

A press shot leaked of the Samsung Epic Touch 4G - Sprint's version of the acclaimed Samsung Galaxy S II, likely to be unveiled in New York tomorrow, together with the other US carrier versions of the handset.
Sprint's Samsung Epic Touch 4G date on the leaked pictures is set at September 9 on the homescreen, which might mean hitting the shelves officially on that day, 10 days after the announcement. This 9/9 date also suspiciously coincides with the rumored ETF hike from $200 to $350 for "advanced devices" which will be activated on or after September 9.
Finally, after the February announcement and April availability worldwide, Samsung seems to have ironed out the kinks with the US carriers,...
