FC09 being released OTA starting 3/26.
http://community.sprint.com/baw/message/405733#405733

FC19.rdf posted, still 2.3.6, still lists GLMS, still lists HDMI video jack?

FC14.rdf posted. still 2.3.6

http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-D700/FC14.rdf

And now it's FC09.rdf

http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-D700/FC09.rdf

Sprint has posted the FC07.rdf file. Still 2.3.6, they're still working on stuff.
http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-D700/FC07.rdf

A firm maybe on this one. It looks like a D700 rdf file, but it's in the wrong directory. Most of the info in the rdf looks like an OG Epic D700, but it was posted in the D710 directory. Not that it really matters.

http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-D710/FB29.rdf

FB15 leaks, no rdf in sight! WTF?

And now it's FB01...still 2.3.6
http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-D700/FB01.rdf

http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-D700/FA31.rdf
Posted January 31st. Still listed as 2.3.6, what could they possibly still be working on

http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-D700/FA06.rdf
Posted January 6th

http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-D700/EL30.rdf

EL30 is the first rdf with no mention of CIQ!

http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-D700/EL20.rdf

(Still lists 2.3.6 as Android version and still lists CIQ as included.)

http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-D700/EL09.rdf

http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-D700/EL07.rdf

http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-D700/EK30.rdf

http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-D700/EK23.rdf

What are these files?

"RDF" files appear to be xml based documentation files for firmware releases. You can't actually use them for anything, but it is proof that Sprint was actually working on a new firmware release as of the date code of the file. The date code is interpreted as follows:

E L 09:

Y M D
E O A
A N Y
R T
..H

Years...... D- 2010 E-2011, F-2012
Months.....A-Jan B-Feb C-March D-April E-May F-June G-July H-August I-Sept J-Oct K-Nov L-Dec.

Therefor EL09 was released for testing on Dec 9th 2011. These files best viewed in Internet Explorer (I know...but try it.)

This one slipped by us, Guess we were all too busy eating Turkey. Looks like they are still working on updates for the Epic. It lists Android version 2.3.6

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the Gingerbread....da dum...da dum...dum dum dum dum

Just as maddogin finished the lock mod for ei22 this pops up

Hopefully it will be easier since he did the ei22 one

rocket321 · Nov 29, 2011

I thought EI22 would be the last...and would have argued that at length.....until now lol.

Oh well, I'll be interested to see if anything official actually comes from it and what they will supposedly be fixing. Once you load up all the patches and a custom kernel there is not much in the way of updates needed, but for stock folks I feel sorry for the awful keyboard skips and weak GPS.

etiRkca · Nov 29, 2011

Maybe it comes with google talk with video capabilities.

BubZX · Nov 29, 2011

I would say gps fix. With the devs here I have a great working gps and a sweet workin keyboard. I actually use it every single time now that it doesn't skipp

I'm sure this is just a maintenance update.

Could be an early ics build in disguise. They've done that before.

Im all for official ics but... the epic wasnt exactly a success, what would motivate them to give us eclair then froyo then gingerbread then ics?

Not on the Epic they haven't and not going to. It would take them a year to get ICS working on this. 2.3.X is Gingerbread...period.

There were some gb builds marked as froyo. Just wishful thinking on my part.

The reboot issue is the only major issue I've seen with EI22. The GPS issue is easily resolvable. I hope they fix it because I sure as hell have failed in my attempts.

I agree. I'm wondering if the reboot issue is something deep enough in GB that the fix requires the version changes to 2.3.6?

The reboot issue is caused by a bug in the kernel. A bug in the kernel and hardware flaws are the only two thing that can cause spontaneous reboots.

+1 to that.

I requested Gtalk for our Epics be available from both the Android Market Team, and the Gtalk team itself, I would be LMMFAO right now if this is how it went down.

Android Market Team: Gtalk team, a user has cordially requested you "ok the Gtalk.apk to be seen and downloaded by SPH-D700 users on the Android Market.

Gtalk Team: Sure thing! Oh wait, we're testing Gtalk.apk, and while he assured you guys (and us) that it would natively work, there's a few bugs.. we'll be sure to contact the Samsung Devs responsible for the SPH-D700 and tell them we have the updated files for this to work, thanks for the heads up Android Market Team!

Gtalk Team: Hey Samsung Devs, a user on Gingerbread brought up a good point, with native front-facing camera support, Gingerbread isn't quite "finished" unless our Google Video chat is working, don't fret, we have the files necessary, it should be a quick fix, here you go!

Samsung Devs: *facepalm* we just released EI22 and it took a MONTH for Sprint to trust us and OTA it, but thanks.. looks like it's back to the drawing board.

Samsung Devs: Hey Sprint, we have another incremental update, should fix a few bugs, not as big fix as EI22 but still necessary, sorry we didn't include it.

Sprint: You sons of.... fine, we're cool. But you BETTER have Ice Cream Sandwhich up your sleeves for our Flagship phone or we're throwing down, YOU HEAR ME?!

Samsung Devs: We can try.

Lol... This story is of course made-up by me just now, but if it entertained you, don't mind a thanks getting hit

Afterall, I did request Gtalk.apk from Android Market and the Gtalk team, that part of the story wasn't a joke. lol

There is such a low percentage of people experiencing random reboots still and even less of a percentage within the pure stock users out in the world. So I don't think that will change. Probably adding features like Gtalk with video and maybe enabling TV out...yeah right!
