Samsung Epic 4G Touch

As it so often goes when it comes to Android updates, you can either wait for your carrier to push them out to your device or — you can take matters into your own hands, updating your rooted device on your own. And for those on Sprint with a Samsung Epic 4G Touch Galaxy S [...]

Not that we’re surprised or anything, but Sprint has announced that the Samsung Epic 4G Touch, their Galaxy S II variant, would be getting Ice Cream Sandwich this year. We pretty much expected it, alongside other high-end devices, to receive the update. Unfortunately, Sprint doesn’t tell us when, exactly, to expect it within the calendar [...]

When it comes to my Android device. I think of it as my baby. Like any good mother, I want to keep it safe, and I find pleasure in dressing it up in various outfits (cases). Seeing how the last case for my Sprint Epic 4G Touch was feeling stale, I decided to shop around [...]

If you want a great deal on a 4G phone from Sprint then you will want to head over to AmazonWireless between now and March 26th. They are hosting a “March Madness” sale that features all current 4G devices from the carrier for just a penny. You will need to be activating a new contract [...]

Yesterday, we reported that a leaked Android 4.0 ROM had been successfully modded to boot with the Samsung Epic 4G Touch. While the ROM is not completely working, it is a great way to see how Android 4.0 and Touchwiz will feel once the official update is released. But it has just gotten a bit [...]

Samsung has not been the best at updating Sprint devices, but things are turning around this year. Samsung is currently working hard at updating the Epic 4G Touch to Android 4.0. An official ROM was leaked yesterday, but it had problems with booting, past the kernel screen. As expected, we are not going to conform [...]

You’d better believe that Samsung is working on the upgrade to Android 4.0 for their flagship smartphones. It seems like we can’t go a week without seeing new Android 4.0 ROMs leaked for the device and we have another one today for two variants. The international I9100 version has gotten build I9100XXLPH, a step up [...]

Okay, so we already knew it’s coming down to crunch time for Samsung to make good on their Ice Cream Sandwich promise and deliver the firmware update to its line of Galaxy S II devices. But, could the Sprint Epic 4G Touch really be the first GSII in line to receive Google’s sweet dessert? Well, [...]

Samsung and Sprint have pushed a new update to the Epic 4G Touch, bringing the software version to EL29 and taking care of a few minor issues along the way. The official changlog lists enhancements and fixes for dismissing multiple calendar alerts and activating the Commercial Alert System (CMAS) as well as a security update. [...]

Samsung Epic 4G and 4G Touch users get ready. Sprint is getting ready to send out a new over-the-air software update for both devices set to fix a few issues plaguing both devices. First up, we have the “OG” Samsung Epic 4G who will be receiving a few bug fixes after receiving a Gingerbread update [...]

Am I having déjà vu? Another Samsung device has been announced to receive a treatment in white this morning. Following news of an all-white Galaxy nexus headed to the UK, Samsung has announced that a similarly pale version of the Samsung Epic 4G Touch will land at Sprint on January 8th. The only difference between [...]

If you were on the fence about getting a Samsung Epic 4G Touch Galaxy S II (that was a mouthful) on Sprint, maybe the prospect of a new all white version will help entice you further. T-Mobile has been flaunting their white Galaxy S II for a couple of weeks now and it looks like [...]

It’s beginning to look like a white Christmas indeed (even without any snow here in Wisconsin) with all these phones coming in on the other end of the color spectrum. Sprint will soon be the latest to offer a white version of an existing device as PocketNow has received press shots of a white Samsung [...]

Samsung’s taken another shot at Apple in another one of their Galaxy S II ads in a series depicting iPhone owners standing in line for the next iPhone. This time, a guy walks up and lets people know that if they had a Galaxy S II they wouldn’t need to transfer or redownload their music [...]

Sprint has finally released a software fix for the Epic 4G Touch for the dreaded loss of signal bug that’s been plaguing the community for quite some time. The bug would cause the voice and data radios to lose signal, something that was only fixable by a reboot. It was originally believed that the bug [...]

Many of you Epic 4G Touch owners know about the loss of signal bug. It basically causes the phone to fail to reconnect to the Sprint network if you often dip in and out of coverage. I personally have experienced this bug frequently in an area that is known for really bad coverage. That’s notable [...]

A new Samsung ad spot surfaced today, taking a few jabs at those dedicated iPhone users who are blinded by their devotion to all things Apple. While it doesn’t come officially from Samsung Mobile’s YouTube channel, one ‘Tuber did manage to upload the vid (most likely ripped from a DVR) for all the Android fanboys [...]

Amazon’s posted a nice deal for those who were looking for a Galaxy S II smartphone. Sprint’s version – the Samsung Epic 4G Touch – is going for just $100. It’s normally $200 but even at its original price it’s worth every penny. I praised the smartphone in my review, claiming to be one of [...]

As Android users, we know today’s announced iPhone 4S will quickly be eclipsed by the fabled Nexus Prime to be (hopefully) announced during next week’s CTIA trade show. But how does Apple’s latest and greatest stack up to some of the Android devices currently available on the market? Well, Samsung was nice enough to provide [...]

We’ll admit it, we didn’t get the point of Sprint ID when they first announced it. It’s grown on us over time, though, and for more reasons than one. For some of Sprint’s ID enabled phones, like the Epic 4G Touch, it can help you say goodbye to TouchWiz. If for some reason you don’t [...]
