@GalaxySsupport Silent on Froyo Upgrade Timeline

That is some bull****...i hate this I'm not buying a cell phone anymore its a game I mean really all these high paid engineers can't do this and they haven't released it because they want other phones to sale

Pretty sad that my 14 year old daughter's getting froyo on her intercept before I get it on my epic... How epic is that?

I'm seriously considering giving my daughter my epic for Christmas and buying myself an evo. My epic has been locking up, randomly restarting two or three times a day. I have to pull the damned battery at least once a day. I've been hoping that the froyo update will fix many of these issues. I chose the android because I was told they were more stable than the I Phone. I can't imagine any phone being more buggy than this.
 
I don't get it.. personally, I think this phone is better than the evolution, but sprint seems to neglect it. All the sprint TV ads are about the evo too! I love my epic and It would fly on froyo!

I would bet that most or all of the cost of those ads is being borne by HTC.

Sprint probably doesn't care much which device you buy. The phones are just bait to lock customers into two-year telecom service contracts, which comprise the the vast majority of our Sprint expenditures.
 
To be fair, the Intercept was released 1.5 months before the Epic was and only runs stock Android...just sayin'
 
^ Excellent point. Also, it probably needs the speed upgrade Froyo gives much more than the Epic
 
seriously - what is so great abotu froyo anyway?!?!?!?! My phone is fine, runs fast, no problems, a little buggy with the gps, but nothing to cry about. I mean, all people talk about is how Froyo is going to make this phone perfect! Once froyo comes, everyone will still be complainin' about something else!!!
My friends evo has froya, seems no different to me in speed..nothing special.
 
leaked DK28 FroYo has much better GPS performance, locks are fast, accruate, and consistant. of course, YMMV...

THIS.

I don't understand the vitriol for Sprint here.

I know the bloatwear is infuriating, but you've got to think Sprint wants to push out the update ASAP. If they had a product they were ready to push out hey would. The bloatware is often a moneymaker for the carrier, thus (in theory) saving you as the consumer money either in subsidies or pricing plans.

These things take time.
 
FYI,
I thought Froyo would be that much better, loaded DK28 - battery performance
reverted to day 1 problems (almost returned it then), GPS would not lock for anyway shape or form (and I didn't feel like flashing, reflashing, locking, then reflashing).
These two problems made me roll back to 2.1, thankfully that worked fine.

I will wait, not happy, we bought the most expensive phone out there, paying $10 surtax for non existant and no idea when we will get it in our area.

I would just like acknowledgement and communication of when. I don't want bugs, but I'm not feeling the love from Sprint or Samsung.
 
I think those that are waiting so bad for the official Froyo release should either just deal with sticking on Eclair for some time still or bite the bullet and upgrade to DK28/rooted/custom ROM.

As far as the GPS complaint everyone keeps using, GPS was even MORE screwed up on Eclair for me and my wife than it is now being rooted running a custom ROM. My thoughts behind waiting for the official release to fix the GPS, I don't think its gonna happen. You would think that would be the first thing they fixed in these "leaked" versions of Froyo and its obvious they still haven't fixed the real issue. So I think our hopes of having a "100%" fix on the official Froyo for the GPS is a pipe dream.

Speaking of battery life, I believe so many people (including myself) jumped on the leaked DK28 and tried it for 24 hrs saw that their battery was draining fast and rolled back. From what I understand the first battery cycle after upgrading to a new ROM is always poor, then you recharge, calibrate and life is ALOT better...

Our hopes on Gingerbread? Well if they can't get Froyo out yet I wouldn't even worry about Gingerbread. Something tells me you have to get the previous version working before you can hop over to the next one...

Of course these are just my opinions.. Take them for what they are worth, I just know I'm enjoying Froyo goodness and its worth jumping on board now instead of later...

so since you see no big difference we should stop wanting something we were promised the first day?

personally i'm tired of getting left out of program updates because i don't have froyo on my phone. there's a ton of apps being released out there that we can't use to full potential because we are stuck on eclair

i get so annoyed by people that say things like this... its like my grandmother saying - why get one of those new hdtvs.. my regular tv looks fine.. i dont' really see a difference
