Tried to do the over-the-air upgrade. They seem to have stopped it. My ATT tech couldn’t get it to work. She eventually sent me over to Samsung, where a level 3 tech confirmed it. After MUCH time, he had me send the phone to him. I got it back in less than a week.
While talking, we found that with XP, even though I had shut everything down, Macafee still had something running in the background. Don’t know if that was the problem with the software upgrade.

steve porter –

My epix had the “waking up” issue as well, however after a while it just went away. I’ve heard a couple other people report this as well. Obviously there is something wrong and it would be nice if ATT/Samsung would address this, but thought I would share that with you and maybe give you some hope.

Has anyone check if you can still us the Epix as a thethered modem thru the internet sharing function. I like this feature thanks to this forum and would hate to have the update screw that up also?

Where are you finding the tool?
After the EULA, I type accept and it goes back to the previous screen with nothing to “save”
Thanks

@TheAxMan I have installed the rom from Samsung, and it works like a charm! Everything is flying now on my phone, it is 110% better than it was. This is what the phone should have been when it came up. Good luck with your update, and remember to back up everything, and record your old settings (Especially GPS) so that you can get back to where you were quickly.

I recomemd microsofts My Phone app, it is a nice backup utility for all your outlook data.

Is anyone having trouble getting GPS to work on any application post-ID1 update? I’ve tried changing ports, and every troubleshooting I know and it’s not working.

Mark, does your GPS still work with the new ID1 update? I want to be sure this doesn’t break something else like the FOTA update did (which I luckily did not install).

Does the ID1 update also allow the LED light to keep flashing until new emails are read? Or does it just fix the sound notification for new emails?

No, do NOT install the ID1 update. I use Windows Vista SP1, and followed the directions to a “T” and what did I get? An application crash, repeatedly. It WILL not work, and as of this time, would be a waste of time to pursue. After doing the instructions from start to finish, I then did a hard reset, re-downloaded the ZIP, and re-tried it. Same results.

Samsung can’t seem to get anything right with this phone it seems.
