wow.. samsung products are decent, but i want the epic touch because i love galaxy s phones! the epic 4g has made everyone i know jealous.. i want the bigger screen, better camera, better processor.. only thing i dont like about it is it doesnt have the slide out keyboard anymore :-( and of course sprints stupid upgrade policy, im not eligible til 5/2012 lol
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
I was the same way. I owned the very first phone that came out. I think it was a Motorola Gray brick looking thing with a pull out antenna and the plastic microphone panel that flipped over they keys. I have had prepaid phones a Blackberry,etc. I have also tried about every carrier. The Epic was the first phone I felt had just about everything and it has a good (physical quality) keyboard. I love my Epic and I only expected to get Flash (Froyo basically) as far as upgrades. I didn't think that I would get another phone for a full 2 years. I did get tempted by the Nexus S 4G but didn't jump. The longer I have had my Epic, the more I learn about a few little things (like TV Out) that are missing. its still a great phone imo but the ET4G is the first phone I felt I had to get since my Epic. The decision was easier because I have 2 lines. I am not devestated that we don't have official GB yet. I didn't expect to get it when I bought my phone. Now, if I had to get rid of my Epic to get the ET4G, I don't know. That's a tough call. We are finally to a point where our phones can do about everything. I remember what things used to be like back when you had to carry a pager. I think people shouldn't sweat not having official GB that much. Things could be a lot worse.
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
Thats why u get a samsung nexus :rolleyes:

Cause its pure google, no samsung software plus updates come regularly since it doesn't have to goto samsung or carrier just pure google :D

Plus the development is always the top of all :)

Nexus prime hopefully will come not too late and ill get that.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Even the Nexus had problems when it first came out, also random reboots. The only difference is the fixes came quickly as well as the updates. So no phone or manufacturer is perfect. Most phones do not have Gingerbread, some never got Froyo. You can blame Samsung but the fact is the I9000 got Gingerbread 6 months ago. Can't blame them for wanting it to work right and not overload customer support with bugs. At least we know they are working on it. No matter I bought the Epic for the keyboard so whichever manufacturer puts out a 4+ inch Amoled screen with a keyboard and dual processor that can be rooted gets my business in July.

I just got my Epic a little while ago so I will be here begging for help when I screw up my phone...lol!
[Epic 4G General] worldwidepmp:
Since I put all my Epubs on my phone a bigger screen would help a lot, so I'm thinking about it. By no means is it a "I have to have it" for me though.
[Epic 4G General] ThrIsNoSpork:
I am patiently awaiting full cm7. As soon as we get that ill use my epic til it dies. Or maybe ill get the prime...
[Epic 4G General] CapsLockKey:
I'm fine with my Epic for at least another year if they finally release a stable Gingerbread.
[Epic 4G General] dohturdima:
Waiting for Prime here as well. I'd love for it to have a keyboard that doesn't skip keys, but that's not likely to happen. My other phone is a jailbroken iPhone 3g on T-Mo and I still hate using its on-screen kb. Waiting for GB/CM7 on Epic which hopefully starts happening next month.
[Epic 4G General] nismology:
Negative. Going with the charge on big red. 4.3" super amoled plus + Wolfson DAC + LTE + GSII camera will hold me over for quite a while. Plus the dang thing is 1 cent on amazon. Yea tiered data and I would have preferred to stay with sprint but the data network is flat out 2nd rate no matter how you slice it and I get an employee discount with verizon. I'll still keep an eye out on the E4GT's development though.

Will check out the stratosphere as the release nears if the rumors are true and if I miss the keyboard enough....
[Epic 4G General] dead78:
help me get out of my Sprint contract and I'll gladly sign one with Verizon.
[Epic 4G General] malcolmXman:
Let's hope, I'm still trying everything I can just to get one (sgs2) because of all my epic friends getting one. I know, not everyone,but a majority that's for sure. And since Sprint is about to nix the upgrades, I'm going to use mine, see if they will bump the 75$ to 150$ since this is the last time I can use it...

Help support ERA and Android4Autism...

I have been so tempted to do it but I am thinking I may wait until I hear more on the Nexus. I can handle a few weeks of waiting for some news to make sure I make the right choice.
[Epic 4G General] zman519:
Yes, I know the Nexus is "google". But I'm happy with my Epic for now. Maybe I'll keep it for 3 years or 2. Its just that if samsung is making the next few "cool" phones. I'll pass and speend my money on others toys ;-) I mean my summer tires are just about shot.... why give smasuck more of my money when I'm vary happy with bf goodrich and will Buy more of there tires?

[Epic 4G General] xopher.hunter:
I was kinda a late bloomer, call me a froyo baby cause I got the epic the day eb13 was OTA'd and taken back, but it was awesome nonetheless. But I don't think with the new contract changes ill be due for an upgrade til... let's see here 20 months from february is... DECEMBER 2012 damnit. Well 2.5ghz snapdragon is next for me lol.
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
From now on, I will probably stay away from brand new phones. I'll watch the scene and pick a well-established previous-generation phone that already has great development support and a reduced price.

This won't likely change until my life is back in order and I have the skills necessary to join the developer's side of things (I had the talent for it in my younger days, just haven't had the free time and/or money to catch up with new technology, not even sure if I have it in me anymore... But I'm keeping my hopes up, lol)
[Epic 4G General] Geekybiker:
Not me. I feel kind of burnt on the epic. The phone still isn't 100% stable, and need rebooted every couple days or radios won't turn on and off. Plus I'm not to two years for the full discount yet.
[Epic 4G General] Migital Warfare:
My wife and I just switched from iPhones to Epics last October, so we aren't even finished with our first contract year. Needless to say, I will not be paying full retail for an Epic 4G Touch.
[Epic 4G General] novablade:
not getting the epic 4g touch because I have an epic 4g and more speed and a bigger screen are not enough to justify not waiting for my upgrade to kick in.
[Epic 4G General] erica647:
Me... I have an Inspire 4G that I just got in June.
[Epic 4G General] A2CKilla:
well, i had an OG Evo, upgraded to the Motorola Photon (the only phone besides the evo that got me to upgrade) then i bought a palm pre....mistake, then i bought an EVO 3D, eh, that was decent, then i stumbled across the lone Epic 4g, and i have to admit, i haven't put it down, it's something about it, it's just a good phone, good software and speed, granted i'm rooted and with a custom rom and kernal, but still, out of the box, it was fine for me, then my dad wanted it so he bought it from me, but, guess what, i bought another one for me :) it was just that good of a phone, i find the Epic touch to be garbage in my opinion, one of my reps has one and he let me see it, it's well, just waaaayyy to big, the size of the Epic,evo,photon, pretty much anything 4"-4.3" is perfect, anything bigger then that is just too much in my opinion, but yeah, LONG LIVE EPIC 4G!!!

P.S. and for everyone getting iphones on sprint....thanks for ruining what made sprint great....i hate iphones....
[Epic 4G General] Dvin211:
I'm really on the fence when it comes to buying this. On the one hand it's seems like a really great phone with really great specs.

On the other hand I'm really puzzled by how this phone is being released. Unlike the Evo,Epic and Nexus there is really a lukewarm reception as far as the retailers go. We're at launch day and places like Best buy, Radio shack are not really showing much interest.

The phone was released in Europe 10 months ago and seems like the US retailers are treating it as such. The low price $99 from Walmarts to the lackluster offerings from the retailers.

With the changes Sprint has made canceling Premier cutting the return time from 30 to 14 days and increasing the ETF. I wondering if they are just trying to get people to use their upgrade on what they consider a lesser/cheaper phone. So less people will use it on the Nexus Prime,Iphone 5.
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
I think the upcoming I-Phones on Sprint have a lot to do with the downplayed release. The reps at the store are already hyping it up
[Epic 4G General] xopher.hunter:
I hate the iPhone. With a burning passion. Sprint just gained sooo many people it did not need. Now this vision upgrade will just fix what the iPhone is gonna break. Not to mention our unlimited data will go *poof*.
[Epic 4G General] DCRocks:
I was giving serious thought of upgrading my GF's EVO to the Touch, but may just wait for the Prime instead. She is what I refer to as an "iPhone" user, so all the extras dont matter as much, but as I load my gmail on all my phones to share the apps, I figure the prime can be run mostly stock, and still provide her everything she wants in her phone.
[Epic 4G General] A2CKilla:
couldn't have said it better myself, even when customers ask me about it, i tell them honestly, when it comes out, but i don't keep track of it because i don't like it, they just give me this look like "BLASPHEMY!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU DON'T LIKE THE IPHONE!!!!!!!! WE MUST STONE HIM!!!!!!!" it makes me sick
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
You are probably right because the ET4G is good enough to leave stock (even though I probably won't) and I am sure the Prime would be the same.

Not me. I just got epic and I only buy each other generation phone.
[Epic 4G General] metalblaster:
never ever touching a samsung phone again. The epic was like the red headed step child of android phones. We will never see gingerbread and if we do it will be some half-baked garbage release with no real fixes or updates.

Yes the specs always looks nice on samsung phones, but the software is so bad it makes an Iphone look appealing.
[Epic 4G General] belovedson:
not sure if you know what your talking about

i went to sprint corporate while they fixed or attempted to fix the epic. i was playing around with all the phones especially the sg2. the phone is like wow. evo 3d phone is a joke and the photon has a horrible screen, jeez people pay 200 for that thing? anyways after playing around i checked the gps signal of every tablet and android phone. the quickest as a manufacturer whole was the htc. but for whatever reason the fastest and most accurate was the nexus. none of the phones had the network marked. all of them had the gps only checked off. out of all the tablets and phones the nexus was 0 meters away from location. it was smack dab at the store. ididn't think a mobile phone could be spot on. the evo was 2 meters and the 3d was 4 meters. the epic and the original galaxy was searching and when it did find 19-20meters or some crap.

we have some crap of a gps seriously. anyways anyone reading this and has 30 mins to burn can you go by a sprint corporate and run the same test. if the nexus consistently reads an accurate gps. i will be switching to it. i use the gps alot. cycling directions etc. i need a good gps
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Not the Epic, all US carrier Galaxy S series have no GB love yet. I believe Sprint and the Epic will get it first, we got Froyo second out of 4 phones. I believe with how many builds and how intense they are working on it, GB will be great. They don't want a lot of support issues after the release. Also the issue isn't just Samsung as pointed out Samsung phones in Europe were among the first to get Gingerbread. And the Samsung Nexus was one of the first Gingerbread phones in the US. So I for one will not say never again especially if they pull out a tri or quad core phone next year at 2.5 Ghz with a keyboard. I'm in!
[Epic 4G General] Forever Justice:
While Sprints Phone and Data are not in any phone the best.

My Wife hawked at me wanting to know what to get. Iphone is great, had some play time with one, but limited. I myself am not a fan for the Iphone.

She liked my Epic 4g, so I gave her the scoop on the top phones for Sprint and she went with the Touch. Setting up and Messing with last Night.....OMG....I am jealous!!

So Far off the Hook, alot Nicer than the Epic. You can hook to TV with Wireless mouse and keyboard. No Computer Required. The tilting, Sliding, etc.

Well worth the buy. Only two Phones on Sprint as told that can do that. Unless the Epic can and have not found. Would be the Touch and the Photon. Rep at store bought Photon, did not know about Epic Touch. Off on Vacation and Catching Up...Would have Waited.

Every Phone needs your tweeks, and restarted to configure itself. Once your ready. And done Tweeking Apps and Moving,etc. The Samsung Epic Touch is a VERY VERY Nice Phone to Buy.

Will try to keep in touch as I get Further into the Touch.

[Epic 4G General] redram38:
I bought it last night at Best Buy and have to say I LOVE IT. I used my wife's upgrade. She cannot do without the keyboard so she kept my Epic and I got the touch. When this thing get root it will be absolutely the best phone I have ever had. I thought my Old Epic was great but this thing is just so much better. Quad scores over 3000 out of the box, NO LAG anywhere. Everything just works like it should. If you can get it do. The great thing about our upgrade situation is mine in next year so if something even better comes out I can use mine then and then hers again the next year. She is does not want a new phone every year, heck I had to make her take my old epic over her Moment so that tells you who gets the yearly upgrade lol
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
^^^^^ you're cruel! Lol
[Epic 4G General] diego1985:
Proud to say no touch for me. I love my keyboard too much. Not afraid of going keyboardless now. Just don't want to do it with sprints spotty 4g and slow 3g. So I'm gonna let this contract run out until its low enough to be a phone bill. And the touch is a beast though but its going to have the same spotty 4g so what's the point? Here in Atl Georgia.
[Epic 4G General] Mojonator:
Well seeing that my last premiere gold customer upgrade isn't available until mid next year, and will be stuck with the new upgraded phone for next two years (damn you sprint) Ill be looking forward to the next Galaxy S 3 phone. The rumored specs are already out and it looks like a beast worth waiting for. So far I have been very happy with my epic 4g.
[Epic 4G General] incisivekeith:
I played with the Epic Touch yesterday at a Sprint store and was extremely disappointed with how the keyboard misses so many keys while typing fast. I mean, after so much time in the market and so much investment in the so-called "superphone," the least one can expect is a keyboard that can type well.
[Epic 4G General] haas599:
I plan on going at least 2 years with my Epic. The Epic Touch is awesome but there really aren't enough apps/games out there that take advantage of the power for me to feel like I need to upgrade right now. I have a GTab 10.1 with a couple Tegra2 games and none of them I feel I need to play at all times. My Epic is just as fast as it was the day I got it and that's fast enough for me. I probably won't feel the urge to upgrade until some carrier rolls out LTE in my area.
[Epic 4G General] Mutiny32:
Nope, The Epic4G still has a ton of potential, it's just that Sprint/Samsung is really dragging ass on releasing GB source. Once we get that, watch CM7 FLY on it.
[Epic 4G General] TecHNieK:

[Epic 4G General] Xhyperion:
I think the epic is still useful. I think patience will pay off on not early upgrading
[Epic 4G General] RandomKing:
I will not be upgrading to the SGSII and here's why:

Um, it came out in April everywhere but here. I hate being behind the rest of the world.

It's marginally better than my Epic, with a few gimmicky features and no proven performance advantage.

The upcoming Nexus Prime is slated to be even more powered with a 1.5 GHz.

Samsung themselves are aiming to release 2.0+ Ghz Quad-core phones next summer(around my upgrade time).

History shows that support for this one will be as lacking as the Epic 4G. Why start custom development all over again so soon when the Epic 4G is just peaking?

I like to skip generations of technology, it's more satisfying (i.e. no PS3 or Xbox 360, bring on PS4 and Xbox 720!).

I think that's a few good reasons, I could go on. To summarize, why upgrade early at a cost for a minimal improvement, when the real fun will be coming in time for my actual upgrade?

:D
[Epic 4G General] Falstafff:
lol, Random going tha distance!

Sticking with the epic for the foreseeable future. For me the biggest thing is still screen quality. And the epic's samoled is probably the best out there except for the samoled+. i see the epic side by side with the ip4 all the time. It is better.

Just last week i was on the soccer field and my friend pulled out the Droid Bionic, and then I pulled out my Epic and he says, whoa nice screen what is that? I say the Epic. He says the new one? I say no the original.

an upgrade for me needs to be a BIG upgrade. period.

[Epic 4G General] nubecoder:
I thought I'd share my $0.02.

Why I would get the Epic 4G Touch:

SAMOLED+: 12 sub-pixels = true RGB color representation (i.e. no PenTile matrix).

4.5" screen: Ya it's big, but I think I'd be OK with that.

Made by Samsung (this one is multi-part):

I'm in love with Heimdall: I absolutely love that I can serial (USB) connect to my phone and flash (virtually) anything, unrestricted.

Samsung use good hardware: e.g. Wolfson WM8994.

Samsung continue to impress me: Um, does anyone remember? Samsung Mobile hired Cyanogen...​

Source Code: From what I've seen with the Epic and the Epic Touch, Samsung have done a remarkable job of putting the source out fast (e.g Epic's EB13(?) source came 3 days early, and Epic Touch's source available on launch day).

Also, I've glanced into the Epic Touch's sources, and OMG I can only hope the new GB sources for the Epic are this clean. It's almost as if they took some pride in their coding!​

Why I can't get the Epic 4G Touch:

Money: I don't has any.

Sprint contract: Mine doesn't end until Dec. 2012.

Money: Full price is way too expensive...

Epic 4G is fine: Sure I'd like bigger and better, but my current phone suits me just fine for what I need from it.

Money: Did I mention that money is the major factor at play here? ;]​

Some extra food for thought:

This is Samsung's 2nd major go at android, and it seems their experience working with Google for the Nexus line has made a good impact on their products.

(It has been rumored that the original SGS line wasn't originally intended to be android based. Seems logical to me, seeing how hackish everything is/was.)

Also, with the Nexus line continuing to use Samsung as the manufacturer (e.g Nexus Prime) it brings a bit of confidence to the Samsung name/brand.

i'm using the latest oxygen rom and today in flashed the latest franco kernel without any problems. after that I copied the juwe ram optimisation script to the specified folder but I unfortunately deleted the file 99complete from the init.d folder and when I tried to reboot the phone hangs at bootup start. I assume my deleting the file 99complete caused the problem - am I right? I have the file backed up (on the sd card in my phone and on my pc) - is there a way to copy the file back to the init.d folder if this is indeed preventig my phone to start? otherwise I would probably need to reflash the rom, right?
