If you are an owner of the Samsung Epic 4G smartphone who has been let down time and time again over the Android 2.2 Froyo update, and are expecting Sprint to shove out the Froyo update you don’t have to wait for that over the air release as Sammy has beaten Sprit to the punch.
According to an article over on Engadget, old Samsung has made the Android 2.2 Froyo update available to Samsung Epic 4G owners via their support website whereby the user can grab a .exe file to run from their computer and update via USB connection.
Or apparently usrs can opt to select the Mac link and get an update.zip file that can be run straight from the Samsung Epic 4G’s SD card, although it has to be stock devices running the recent DI18 build.
Remember to back up all your data beforehand, as you will be restoring the handset to a blank slate. According to commenters over on XDA-developers first impressions range from a noticeable performance hike to several bugs hanging around and you can check out those by hitting up their website.
So any of our Samsung Epic 4G owning readers grabbed the Android 2.2 Froyo update yet and if so how was the experience for you, did all go fine or are you facing any issues? Fell free to share your opinions to our comments area below.
