Review of EK02 Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread on the Samsung Epic 4G Touch

[ohgeefreeks310]

When are we getting ICS? :DDD

[jjet1000]

can i update android 2.3.4 baseband version S:R720.06 x.EHo2 build number GINERGERBREAD. EH02 hardware version R720.06

[WillJayDad]

@jjet1000 That is the software build for the Samsung Admire on Metro PCS. This video is about the Samsung Epic 4G Touch on Sprint. So assuming you have an Admire, then no you should not use this.

[thechrissj]

[sindicate6]

swype EMOTICON HAS BEEN REMOVED!! Can anyone tell me how to get this back? I found it really useful. tx

[joej191]

thanks man i just got myupdate !

[okniceguy]

difference with Swype as well... When you type, the bar of words do not go away. It was VERY annoying that it did

[Holidae127]

ANY EK02 ROMS?

[Holidae127]

My camera doesn't work

[hansdegebruiker]

My 2.3.6 gingerbread.XWKK2 dutch version.

My touch-wiz is still numbered and the blue overscroll glow was already there since 2.3.3.

Things that where fixed in 2.3.6 are Google speech and a security-hole in the root of android.

This security failure gives bad people the opportunity to take over your device and hack al your data.

[kushlude]

Thanks QBking! Very informative review.. I hope you make more videos for the ET4G moving forward!

[qbking77]

@kushlude Oh I will!

[cuevaslegrand]

@qbking77 its called ek23 for the original epic over at xda epic general forums

[cuevaslegrand]

@qbking77 I heard over at xda that the original epic is also getting 2.3.6 is this true also saw a "confirmation" on the epic 4g facebook page what do you think/know about this

[qbking77]

@cuevaslegrand I haven't heard anything actually.

[BryanH85]

Hey Qbking77. I'm still on the EG30 modem still, with no LOS problems. Do you think I should update the modem anyways to EK02?

[qbking77]

@BryanH85 Nope. I'd stay with the EG30 modem :)

[LoveLiveLifeUnique]

Maybe 2.3.6 will fix the incompatibility I get with a bunch of apps lately

[abstraction21]

Hey there, great video. I haven't flashed 2.3.6 myself but I did hear that there are some changes to the camera app. Maybe you can add that in for a future vid.

[qbking77]

@abstraction21 Might have to check that out, thanks!

[kartoon33]

I mean EK02

[kartoon33]

Hey qbking77, love your videos man. If I'm on the last Starburst rom can I just flash the EK04 modem and will flashing this give me the 2.3.6 in the settings menu? Thanks again.

[qbking77]

@kartoon33 You can only flash the EK02 modem if you have the EG30 modem. It will not give you 2.3.6, its just a modem.

[njskater1490]

I kind of liked the bounce :P... arrows look bad.... Although wish I didn't flash eg31. I bet this isn't the finished ota update.
