How To: Update Sprint Epic 4G to Android 2.2 - BriefMobile

For instructions if your phone isn't showing an update yet and you don't want to wait. The zip file you download in the instructions comes from google's servers, so it is legit.

I'm running this from the xda threads. Works great.

I've been toying around with the 2.2 leaks too on XDA... this RC one works great. Loving it.

I did on 2.1, but really did notice much difference since this sucker is fast already at 1.0ghz.

That is exactly why I haven't done it to my EVO either. I can't wait to update my wife's epic!

And of course many claim that the Hummingbird at 1.0ghz out performs the Snapdragon at 1.0ghz, so I don't see the need myself. I do like the undervolting kernels that are out there for the Epic (not any on 2.2.1 yet since the source hasn't been released yet), as I've seen some nice battery life gains there without hurting performance.

haha ok guys stay at 1GHz.. when u do a benchmark with stock and 1.25G u will see the difference as I have

I'm sure there's a difference but I don't want to shorten the life of the cpu. It's fast enough for me

Hope you don't want to compare the quadrant scores that really don't show the performance numbers of the phone...that app is a joke.
