Samsung Epic 4G

Wow, things sure aren’t going great for Epic 4G owners. After releasing the Android 2.2 update for the Epic 4G (Samsung Galaxy S on Sprint) three days ago, Sprint has removed the update from their servers. Reasons for the removal? Increased support calls reporting issues such as data connectivity, and problems reading files off the SD card. The update has been suspended until further notice, but as for those of you who had phones messed up by the update – tough luck. The only solution would be a hard reset of the phone. It looks like Epic 4G owners will have to wait for their Froyo…again.
