Epic 4G is not a piece of crap...in fact its is still one of the best phones to date...It has all the good features that I Love. 5MP that shoots 720p...and i must say it has the best camcorder ive ever had on an android.sound quality and FPS are phenominal. 4"Super AMOLED Gorilla glass screen which is amazing..what other phones have that that arent Samsung...none!!!!And a five row keyboard which is also amazing...oh and that fast Cortex Hummingbird application GPU that only samsung ownes and patents.And a ffc for self portrait pics and vids. This phone has internal parts that other companies would die for but cant have:). Its a great phone and im happy with it....people need to stop whining and just upgrade if ur phone if you keep complaining about it:)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newbieandroid:
Thats how technology works new and better things come out every year. I bought an EVGA GTX 470 for $350 last year and an AMD 6970/GTX 570 came out this year and there priced at $350-$360 do you see me complaining?

OMG 3D I NEED IT!!!... Some people don't have depth perception and can't even see 3D which is a neat feature. People who use the Nintendo 3DS are complaining their eyes/head hurts wait until people start using the HTC Evo 3D more people are going to suffer from headaches and eye problems. Wait till more phone manufactures start making more 3D devices.

The only thing I need on a phone is an AMOLED screen so I can actually see my screen when light hits it.

I don't need a phone that can play Crysis.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultra78721:
+1 I strongly agree:D

Don't expect the epic to be the best on sprint forever:p same goes for the evo3d:D
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] genderblurr:
I thought the Evo didn't have an Super AMOLED screen. If I am not mistaken it's a TFT LCD screen.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RushAOZ:
Give me some reasons as to why the e3d is better... because all I can come up with is a dual core chip. Here's my breakdown..

Camera=epic

Screen=epic

Build quality=epic

Phone aesthetics=epic

CPU speed=e3d

Gpu speed=epic

Video rec.=epic.

Dev support=e3d

Battery life=epic

Ram=e3d

What else do you want? Galaxy s2 is the only legit reason to upgrade as it improves on EVERYTHING from the galaxy s line. The evo 3d kinda went backwards for me. A successor is supposed to be alot better than its predecessor.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
Fixed that for you.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RushAOZ:
You lie.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RushAOZ:
Battery life and build quality are subjective. But I thought the epics gpu beat out the adreno 220..
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
Build Quality is not subjective the Epic is made out of plastic while the 3D is made of brushed aluminum and sliders are never as tough as slabs, 3D wins hands down.

It can beat one. There are 4 GPU cores in a dual core processor.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apheonixboy:
tft lcd = qhd?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newbieandroid:
The Evo 3D has better build quality along with longer battery life because it has a 1730mAH battery but dual cores don't have four GPU cores. The MSM8660 only has two Snapdragon cores along with an Adreno 220 GPU which beats a PowerVR 540 which is in our Epic.

The Evo 3D and Sensation are running at 960x540 which will result in lower FPS in benchmarks but when the benchmark is run at the same resolution the Adreno 220 would crush a PowerVR 540.

The Adreno 220 also beats Mali 400-MP400MP in performance which is used in the 2nd generation Galaxy S. I'm still waiting for benchmarks to optimize to support the MSM8660 because Quadrant nor Smartbench 2011 calculates CPU performance correctly.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stir fry a lot:
While I do agree with you, I think that the screen being made of Gorilla Glass is also an important thing to take into consideration.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RushAOZ:
What I meant by subjective was your personal experience with the phone. Idk how many times I've dropped my epic or how many people here have but you would never tell on mines. My original evo? Dropped and corner of the screen cracked. I think the fact that the epic is a slider is why its so durable. It isn't one whole piece so the whole phone doesn't suffer vibration trauma. I actually think that the epic absorbs drops really well because of it. Also, I can't stand the evo 3ds build quality. Aluminum or not that camera switch and button are ridiculous looking. The phone constantly lays on the whole of the camera pod. No thanks. My epic annoys me enough because it rests on the cam pod. Also I just looked up the adreno 220. I was confusing it for the 205 o.O
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
3D has gorilla glass.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stir fry a lot:
Gotcha. I must admit HTC's do have a much more "pro" form and feel to them. I also agree with Rush when he says that the Epic seems to hold up to abuse a little better HTC's from what products of theirs that I've had the chance to compare mine to. However I think I tend to take better care of my electronics than most of my friends do.

Well my friend got the evo3d and I got to say its crap like I expected. The ui is cool and its pretty fast but not as fast as some of our epics on a good rom. The 3d iss garbage and it loos dumb.

Guys I just played with one and I'm utterly disappointed. Its much worse than I thought. The 3d effect is horrendous. It looks like the slipped a piece of holographic plastic under the screen. For a phone with dual core support and a better gpu than the epic WHY IS THE UI STUTTERY AND SLOW LIKE THE OG EVO????? I just went back to stock ec05 with the geno kernel and I ran some side by side ui navigation and not only was my epic much smoother but it was slightly faster. The 2d pic quality was alright.. but the epics is better.The Evo3d is an Epic fail. I expected much better. Smh. Maybe the evo 4g+ will perform more like the sensation. I care not. Within for me. I'd buy a nexus s over the e3d.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vita10gy:
My wife got a Evo 3d. It's a nice phone. There's really nothing wrong with it, but it's also not true that is makes my epic look like "a piece of crap"

If I was upgrading today it would be a tough call. I like the options an actual keyboard brings to the table.

The 3d effect on the screen is cool, but also fairly cheezy. It's a "look what I can do" thing. However, the pics are still 3d, and can be displayed "properly" in other 3d methods. I'm not a huge 3d guy myself, but things are definitely headed that way.

The nice thing is we're already seeing the effect of plateauing. Hopefully in a couple years there's barely any real world differences in one phone and another, much like computers these days.*

*By which I mean a couple things a) Though there are obviously better and worse computers there used to be a time where every 3 months the new computers were almost twice as good, whereas now the short term gains are modest in comparison. b) even entry level computers are going to be plenty good for most folks until the comp actually stops working. There are ways to demonstrate the differences between the most expensive computer and the cheapest computer best buy currently sells, but for the avg email checker/websurfer, it probably won't be nearly as noticeable as those benchmarks indicate.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RushAOZ:
And that matters why? Unless its built from the ground up like cm7 or miui they're basically all the same. More roms doesn't mean its better. We have 10 but my epic will still destroy your evo any day. Without cm7 sir.

Un like u I don't need a stupid wannabe 3D phone to get me laid. My epic does the job very well
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwallersv:
Personally, i'm thankful I don't have to sort through 4x as many similar roms, with always-too-vague descriptions to figure out benefits/deficits.

It's one of the things I hated about my WinMo days.

As above implies, there are really only 3 roms anyway. All else is just variation on that, amounting in many cases to theming at a slightly higher level.

One thing I give props to the Epic devs for is being pretty good about being specific and clear about what's been added/removed from their roms, something that looked to be more of a problem with some of those Evo roms (statements like, "samsung and sprint bloatware removed"... uh, what apps? please list them).

Descriptions like that make those roms nonexistent to me.

I resent this thread a little :3 My sister got herself an Evo 3D. My phone, spec-wise, no longer reigns supreme in my household, but it doesn't make my phone crap. As many people have said, 3D effects are cool, but unnecessary. I do envy the fantastic Sense UI and display, dual core and overall look of the phone. Personally though, I can't give up the keyboard. I'll get the next best phone that HAS one ^^
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phantomg93:
TFT LCD is not QHD...the E3D is using a basic LCD like many others before it nothing amazing about that besides the 4.3" real estate....application wise the GPU on the Epic is still better with its 6 axis motion and either way the Super AMOLED is by far better than E3D..enough Said...OOH I can shoot in 3D...big deal lol
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
QHD is a resolution, which the Evo 3D has (960x540) and 6 axis motion has nothing to do with the GPU.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BluechipJ:
You should NEVER remove a system file without at least backing it up onto your SD card. If you've modified any other system files, the update will likely fail. Backup and do a complete flash through Update Service, PC Companion or the Flash Tool.

You can attempt to restore the keyboard with the attached file.

Hello,

I am currently using VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition. What bootloader

is my tab currently using; 1.1 or 1.2? There is nothing in Settings -> About Tablet on what bootloader my tablet is using.

I would like to try CM7 (so Netflix will work).

If my BL is at 1.1, should I migrate to 1.2 before flashing to CM7? If so, can someone point me in the right direction on how to do this.

I read there are some advantages of using BL 1.2.

Thanks,

Paul
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmuch12345:
Sorry all...after doing some additional reading, I found out that I need to NVFLASH prior to installation of CM7 anyways. It probably does not matter what BL my tablet is at now.

Is there an advantage to using BL 1.2 instead of 1.1?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcrews:
VEGAn-Ginger is based off CM7.00 source. It is bootloader 1.1 based.

You DO NOT need to nvflash before installing CM7, otherwise you would have had to do so to install VEGAn-Ginger.

Boot to clockworkmod, factory reset, advanced/wipe davlik cache, install CM7 ROM, install gapps, reboot.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scyld:
Frankly, I'd recommend NVFlashing to 1.2 kernel stock, then getting a 1.2 kernel mod.

Thanks to goodintentions, it's super easy to do from his G Tablet site:

http://viewsonic-gtablet-for-dummies.webs.com/

Also note that if you want to watch Netflix you pretty much have to get CM7.

did you follow the procedure exactly? Sounds like you need to clear your cache to me (which is one of the steps when upgrading to CM7). I wouldn't worry about titanium backup - if you didn't have it, getting it now won't help.

I'd suggest starting the process again from step 1 if in doubt.
