you guys are bumming me out
Well there's always the good news ..... no matter what build of the OS, no matter what baseband, no matter what, we still have the best Android phone available IMHO
For you people constantly complaining about signal issues, As stated in another post (don't know which one exactly) return to stock and update prl and profile. I initially returned to stock while still having root and had problems updating, but when I removed root, they both updated flawlessly. Although the signal increase isn't extreme, I did increase from zero/one bars to an almost constant two bars. My 3G drops A-LOT less too. (virtually never ) I my reception is as perfect as it needs to be. I don't have 4G at home but when I drove to the 4G active part of town, 4G increased 1 to 2 bars. Once youre updated, re-root and the updates stick............I take no credit for this info.
Cool that you can make yours show you're running 3.9.6, I on the other hand don't have as much time to waste doctoring photos. The photos I uploaded were taken with my NS4G and they came from a phone that was activated in store.I take some issues with this screen shot. Not trying to rain on anyones parade but let me play devils advocate
1) The build date on that ROM is 4/19/2011. This phone didnt come out until 5/8/2011. This is someone likely testing a pre-release build hence why it's signed with test keys. Also, the baseband (see point 2 below) also lends credibility to this being a pre-release build.
2) The phone in the picture is running baseband D720SPRKD6. Ours has D720SPRKD8. That means our phone has a newer baseband than the one in the picture. So that would mean they are testing a new software build, with an old baseband?? me thinks not. Our baseband was immediately updated to D8 upon activation. Actually, i got my phone on 5/6 and it was upgraded so that means this screen shot happened before 5/6
3) With the above info calling certain things into question, the only real leg to stand on is the android version shows 2.4. Give me a few minutes and I'll upload an attach a picture of mine running ..... version 3.9.6 (number was randomly picked out of the air, do not PM me asking for a build of 3.9.6 lol)
EDIT - Pic attached

Not to say that 2.4 doesn't exist in some shape or form, but my buddy at the Goog only has 2.3.5 on his Nexus S.

If it's NS4G can you get me a system dump? I'd be willing to work with said buddy to ensure any identifiable information was properly removed. Also would need the baseband (radio.img) from the phone. No harm in asking

Guys, you're not going to get ANY information out of Sprint or Google. They're pretty much under NDA and if they were to tell you something, they would lose their jobs. They will not tell you what's in the update and they will not tell you when it's coming.
All you need to know is there is an update, it is coming. It was supposed to come on July 11th but was delayed for whatever reason Google felt was a good one. Samsung has nothing to do with this update as this is a Google-branded phone.
It'll get here when it gets here.
BTW, question to everyone: where can I submit that I'm also having this issue (just to increase the # asking for it)?
