2/21 - Samsung Epic Maintenance Release - S:D700.0.5S.EB13

The upgrade to Android 2.2 (EB13) was suspended on 2/24 due to issues experienced by a small number of customers. The upgrade is no longer available over-the-air or from Samsung’s website. Additional information will be posted on the community when it becomes available.

Many have upgraded and are experiencing no problems. For those who are experiencing problems, you may want to read through some of the discussion threads.

Important Notes:

- The new software version is: S:D700.0.5S.EB13

- Access the Samsung Epic Maintenance Release Blog for install instructions

- Released in stages beginning at 9PM on 2/21, with 100% of devices (on DI18) having received the update

within 4 days

- Update: EB13 is also available via an OTW download on Samsung's site. The OTW update will wipe your device, so

perform a backup prior to updating. I assume this can be used to take your device from an older release to EB13

(please comment on this post if you can validate this). You can access the download here:

UPDATE 1: SD Card Index



If you are experiencing issues with the Camera, Media Player, Gallery, or SD card, refresh your SD Card Index following the steps below and power cycle your device to ensure the refresh takes effect:

Menu->Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->Select All->Scroll down to Media Storage->Select Clear Data.

Update 2: Calendar sync (solution from Dennis Staub...thanks!)

MENU>SETTINGS>APPLICATIONS>MANAGE APPLICATIONS Select "All" in the grouping at the top and then select "Calendar" then under "Storage" select "Clear data". Then go back to the App list and select "Calendar Storage" and do the same. Then open your Calendar then MENU>SETTINGS>CALENDAR SYNC>Manage Accounts(Select your account) then un-check it, then re-check it then go back to the calendar and check to see if the appointments have sync'd for you.
