[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] silver03wrx:
OK so I just reaturned my evolution 3d yesterday and got the epic 4g touch. Wow what a difference. Not even a comparrison. The evolution 3d so slow laggy crap speaker that is quiet very poor battery life. Touch screen inaccurate and unresponsive at times. That was right out of the box. I even rooted it and put the fastest room with over clock on it. Was very let down by it.

So now I have this device and have used heavily for 2 days. The screen is bigger and beautiful colors. Very fast no lag touch scree 100 percent accurate. Speaker much clearer and louder. The camera far better. Much faster web browsing on wifi. So basically what I'm saying is these devices are not even in the same league nor should anyone. Even compare them as if they were. And I haven't even rooted this yet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GadgetMonger:
It's crazy how it becomes not enough for some to choose a device or a rom or dev, whatever the case may be without having to try to convince all others that their choice is the only right one while all others are horribly wrong. I can understand someone wanting to believe that they've bought the best device, but to get so biased as to start making deceptive opinionated statements and attempting to present them as fact is over the edge (and also kind of creepy).

If anyone wants more pictures to compare or speedtest screenies let me know. I can tell you that they show the 3D did slightly better in the speedtest on 3G, but I'd be more than happy to let you see for yourself if you'd like. Didn't do any benchmarks because they really mean nothing to me, but I can and will if you're into that and it'll help you make a decision on a device. I believe there really isn't a wrong choice here. Total matter of personal preference.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ckoadiyn:
I agree even tho I don't own both
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Success100:
I agree in saying it's no comparison. But I can't call the 3d slow. That thing was mad fast..BUT the lack of UI smoothness gave the illusion of it being slower. I think when it comes to speed they are both ridiculous. The s2 has a CLEAR advantage in ever other category though. Cameras, display, speakers, call quality, better reception in fringe areas, video and video game playback, battery life the list goes on.

Ill give tthe 3d the edge in resolution and the 3d feature, but that's all. The 3d thing is pretty badly implemented to me. It just looks like a holographic baseball card if not viewed dead on front and center. Everything else in my opinion goes to the s2. Hands down. I haven't even rooted this thing yet. There's really no NEED to. The 3d NEEDED to be rooted

For me the 3D aspect was amazing,very impressive, but the camera sucked. In the end, 3d is a bonus and not a necessity like a good camera. I now have the Epic Touch whose camera is amazing for both stills and video.

---------- Post added at 09:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 PM ----------

I found that the 3D was just as fast if not faster than the Epic Touch, though not as smooth. I also found that the video quality on the 3D was significantly better due to the better resolution. I am not talking about colors, I am talking about a clear picture. Had an Infuse and noticed the same thing immediately. I would play a video on the 3D and then take out the memory card and put it in the Infuse and the same thing with the touch. 3D playback was decisively sharper, also noticed this on NETFlix. However, with a high quality coded video the Touch looked spectacular, as good as video could get which tell me it is fully capable of the highest quality playback as long as the coding is HD -like. So I guess you could say the 3D plays back video that is less than optimal quality better. Again this is not a question to me, I have performed enough tests to confirm this. These are some of the reasons I still have not sold the 3D.

---------- Post added at 09:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:52 PM ----------

Don't agree with all that buddy. The 3D has several advantages over the Touch. Overall, the Touch is much more complete and the clear winner. I find myself often comparing the Touch to the 3D and thinking to myself well I guess you can' t have it all. 3D text looks significantly better, of 10 games I have on my 3D, only 1 play on the Touch right now -bummer, video playback is better on 3D due to better resolution to name a few.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] janitorjohnson:
What drove me mad about the EVO 3D is my brother's rooted NS4G beat it in every speed test, quadrant score.

The phone felt fine to me, but it drove me insane that his phone beat me. I can't at all agree with battery life. The rom I was using would only drain about 2 percent overnight whereas the Epic is draining almost 20 percent.

My biggest complaint at the moment is the LOS issue and I've heard that people have had success with exchanging them for a new one. I do somewhat miss all the customizations that had been done with the Evo 3D already and the countless number of devs working on roms and themes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] james33440:
Just got my new Epic and I must say that I'm loving it. Not missing the Evo 3d one bit...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Success100:
Awesome! Most of us feel the same way! Those who don't are in complete denial...lol

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] propagandax:
Just just got this phone and chose it over the 3d, only problem is its too big for my hands and slippery, i can barely hold this phone. The evo 4g size was perfect for me. Might have to return for the 3d unfortunately.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boe:
I would go to a sprint store and compare them. I'd say they are pretty similar in volume/form factor. I didn't measure the coefficient of friction on the two models so I couldn't comment on that ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GadgetMonger:
This is also a problem if you are attempting to snap a picture using only one hand. Quite the challenge on the GSII. The designated camera button on the 3D makes this much easier to do.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Product F(RED):
I sold my 3D to my coworker yesterday for $300 and picked up a GSII, which cost me about $250 after tax and including the difference. The biggest difference is SPEED. Everything is MUCH smoother on the GSII. I still prefer the Sense's Messaging and Mail apps, among other things, including the qHD resolution, but this thing is so damn fast! I also wish the screen was 4.3 instead of 4.5 to make it easier to hold with a case, but I'm still happy regardless.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bondosho:
Pro: it doesn't have HTCs horrible battery life. Lol

I've had HTC in the past, and I've noticed how much better Samsung products sound. Bass sounds clearer, and highs aren't as bright. Not sure if this has changed, but it's been my observation.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Product F(RED):
The ET's speaker sounds like a tin can compared to the 3D's speaker, that much I will admit. But is it louder? Much.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bondosho:
I probably should have mentioned that I meant through headphones. Woops.

Oh, and LOL at Luthien1 "rev b" comment.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
glad you made it over to one finally!

They are both nice phones, but this guy is really in a class by itself....

If only the same could be said about Sprints network....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ms79723:
If your Epic 4G Touch is overheating...take it back for another one. I live in Dallas and even on a day where it hit 100...and I was watching a YouTube video on 4g outside while waiting for a bus for 40 minutes, my phone didn't overheat. Did it get hot? Yes. Battery temp hit 111 degrees Fahrenheit, but what I love about this phone is how quickly it cools off. Only took a few minutes to go back to 87 degrees (evo 3D would hit 120 and stay at 120...even when it was only 90 degrees outside).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bigjim1488:
I can't read all of this......
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ms79723:
You can't? Or you refuse to?

I refused.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gface2k:
I would like to hear opinions on the size of the phone and carrying around on your person. I have a phone pocket in a lot of my pants but some times I have to wear the holster, I have the Samsung case for my Epic 4G and I think is borderline too big. Does the fact that the Epic Touch 4G is super slim compensate for the size? I believe that the Touch Pro 2 was the perfect size phone (screen could have been bigger).

For reference this has been my smart phone evolution:

Treo 600

Sprint Mogul

Touch Pro 2

Epic 4G
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
well, It fits just fine in my shirt pocket, if that is any indicator for you..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Amd4life:
I have both, and while both are great I dont think has "everything" over the other

the evo 3D its the far better media device imo. The speaker is LOW, but can be boosted, and the dac, and headphone amp output is significantly better than the epic. The 3D is pretty cool, although its more hologram than 3D. The way that samsung implements its internal memory card versus external causes issues with using the usb drive as a mp3 storage for a car stereo. The samsung output if very "tin" like, very low end midrange, and bass lacking. Most people dont care about this, but I ditched my ipods, once I got the first evo, and never looked back. No this is using larger headphones..of course (hd555, d2000 and others)...but man my HTC phones were far better. I HAVE to use a headphone amp, whereas with my evo's I could at least be somewhat okay using volume+ and little eq...this epic touch is not that great audio wise

The resolution on the epic, really is problematic on such a large screen when browsing. As when you are typing on prompt fields such a forum sometimes, the keyboard overtakes the text field, causing you to scroll a lot to see what you typed. also when logging into filesoninc, or wupload, sites with small login prompts on the upper screen, the ads/keyboards tend to run together

not a biggie I guess

of course you can eliminate this using tapatalk, or forumrunner, but it still kind of sucks, imo

The evo although a smaller screen, the the text size, and higher density is far better for most webpages imo. and what is up with the samsung default to mobile setting that cant be set manually.

the epic has far better colors, brightness, and overall speed. the app scrolling, opening of app drawer are all faster than the evo 3D imo. The odd thing is that launcher pro works great, but go launcher not so well. And its the other way around on my 3D

I miss the ability to use the 5x setting on go launcher to stack more icons, but again thats personal preference..and the screens size, and the COLORS make up for it lol

I havent had the Loss of signal on either device. but my 3D has better 4G connect speed (and thats using the same tweaks, same building, same locations I tested both phones). but the samsung wifi signal is stronger on my connection. I have 25 up/down fiber..and the evo 3D gets 18/10 and the samsung gets 23/15 on the same location. 3G is about the same..good enough for me, about 400K-800K depending on the location

battery life goes to the samsung by far...this I certainly appreciate

and I like the kies system, but I havent really seen the benefit of using it over say dropbox, but maybe im not using it right lol

I hate apple, but it will be interesting to see what apple has to offer on sprint come the end of the week...

and size wise, its about the same width as the original evo 4G, tad longer..I have no issue holding it all, or throwing it in my shirt pocket. the fact that it is so slim, and light...makes up for it. whereas my evo 3D is a brick lol, especially with the defender I had on it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LexLuger82:
A evo 3d is better than a samsung galaxy?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Amd4life:
thats not what I meant, lol, to say one was emphatically better than the other

each one has different strengths, imo at least

depends on what you are looking for
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] digweed4me:
People who get stuck with evo 3d defending it. How could anybody say evo 3d is better than a epic touch 4g? I had evo 3d for like 20 days and returned it cause I knew epic touch was coming. Almost everything is better and faster atleast by 5times.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] linzgeneral:
Sold my 3D and kept the Touch but I miss many advantages over the Touch.

overall I do feel that the Touch is the better choice but not by a landslide like some will mislead you to believe. 5 times faster...? I actually think the 3D is faster by a hair. Everyone has an opinion so to each his. i just wish my Touch would stop overheating every time I turned on a game or video.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LearnIIBurn:
I may switch to this phone. I destroyed my Evo3D out of rage this weekend.

I had an Evo4G before it an adored it. HTC added a bunch of tracking crap on the 3D that the community has been sifting through and deactivating. They kind of lost me as a customer. I just don't know if I can cough up the $500 retail for a Epic Touch or not.

Decisions decisions :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Product F(RED):
The Touch is definitely more powerful. It's apparent when benchmarking with Nenamark 1 and 2 and when playing Goldeneye on N64oid. It runs almost full speed. I get ~50 fps in Nenamark 2 whereas on my 3D I got 29 FPS.

For real world use, the 3D is better (texting, emailing, screen resolution). For gaming and photography the Epic Touch is better. I miss the Messaging and Mail apps on the 3D and also the feel of as a whole. The Touch is really wide, even with my big hands; maybe it'd be better if we had the 4.3" version that AT&T has.

The Epic Touch does have some cool features the 3D doesn't though; it has 16GB built in, and supports the new 64GB MicroSD cards (although the 3D should as well since the Sensation does). It also supports USB host (you can plug a flash drive/external HDD into it with a MicroUSB to female USB cable and it'll recognize it).

Megapixel count means nothing, so you can't use that argument. The 3D had better camera effects (depth of field especially). I also prefer Sense to Touchwiz, but Touchwiz 4.0 is a huge improvement over the last version. The SGSII is MUCH more developer-friendly; it's the easiest device I've rooted ever. Samsung LETS you root it. And even the bootloader keeps track of how many times you've flashed the phone, you can buy a $2 jig and plug it into the phone to wipe the counter, as well as force the phone into download mode in case you soft-brick it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] r3a1ist:
All I know is the 3D is freakin ugly. No one wants to say it but the 3D is an ugly ass phone and the previous Evo had tons of more style. Also, screen size, thin profile, weight, processing, Ram, internal memory, display, color reproduction, black reproduction, overall picture, development potential, style, tried and true worldwide acceptance of a quality experience. The ET4G is the most powerful phone in the world right now. Wait until htc's new dual core phones come out and we'll run some comparisons. I think the 3D was a failure and HTC needs to learn what Apple hasn't yet. Dumb technical gimmicks that people won't use or like like 3D compatibility won't get them sales. Especially amongst android users. We want power and potency. HTC needs to realize that's what made the Evo a success and compete against Exyenos with all their might.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] digweed4me:
ahahha evo 3d is faster by a hair , is this some kind a joke?i had evo 3d for like 20 days and it lagged a lot since i bought e4gt on sep 16 its hasnt lag till now . exynos a9 processor destroys a8 processor on evo 3d.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ffolkes:
Using good quality isolation earbuds, the ET is hands down better. The Evo and Evo3D had horrible audio, the hiss on my Evo3D is so bad it's like listening to a perpetual waterfall sound effect. And it's been the same on multiple units, so it wasn't defective. And the RF/EMI is very noticeable on the Evo3D. The ET suffers from this too, but not nearly as bad as the Evo3D. The ET has virtually no hiss at all, so soft music, or music that incorporates silence at some point will sound amazing...at least to someone coming from the Evo3D. The Evo3D sounds very muddy, even with DSPManger (etc) the sound never seems to "pop" for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LouRock:
I appreciate the honest comparison. I have been thinking about grabbing this phone for my wife since I already have the E3D and was getting tired of reading the same old biased reviews. I may grab a one this weekend, but I'm still kinda waiting to hear what the whole REV-B situation on this phone is going to be.

Thanks..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Success100:
sprint already said a few days ago that they are not investing into upgrading into REV B but instead focusing on 4G
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Product F(RED):
I'd prefer if they invested in Rev-B because at least that isn't glorified Wifi that rapes your battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
I'd prefer if they would actually add more tower capacity so that I could get more than 15kB/s 3G at home. In a major city.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Product F(RED):
I had those speeds from this past January until maybe June/July. I kept complaining and the most they could do was credit me for one full bill (but not for the additional 3 lines on my account). They tossed me an early upgrade, but that wasn't compensation for the issue, it was only because I asked for one. I know it wasn't just my phone, because it was happening on my Evo and Nexus S 4G, and Evo 3D. It's better now but speeds are still **** compared to other carriers, even T-Mobile. Mind you, this is NYC. They kept denying the issue, but the truth is starting to come out as review sites like PhoneDog are citing the same issues when they review Sprint phones.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] linzgeneral:
The audio on the 3D sounds decidedly better to me - Touch lacks bass, I would like to think that my $90 headphones are good enough. You are telling the truth about the terrible hiss in the 3D, I almost forgot about that. It seemed to be intermittent but was definitely not an isolated issue but seemed to be some sort of defect.

Epic Touch camera blows the 3D away - absolutely no comparison there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Product F(RED):
Agreed, just saying the real-time effects on the 3D were better. Here's a picture I took with the DOF filter (it's big so I linked it):

In order of camera quality: GSII > Evo 4G > Evo 3D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] silver03wrx:
The op must have gotten a flawed gs2. Because i had the evo3d as well for almost a month. It was slow laggy. Weak antena horrible call quality. And reception. Yes i rooted it and overclocked it as well. And the result of that it was faster yet still the lag and choppyness frustrated me. The speaker sounded like crap. Low power and poor quality. Horrible battery life. Just felt cheaply made like it i lookd at it wrong the back would pop off. I was very let down by htc with that device. So i jumped too the gs2. I am un rooted yet its much faster stock then the overclocked 3d. Ive also neve had any smart phone that the battery has lasted so long. Beautiful display. Great camera it just trumps the e3d in every aspect with out a doubt. My girlfriend still has the 3d and same deal wow i cant even use it. After having this phone for 2 weeks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LouRock:
I must have missed this, do you have a link I can read up on this? I still cant find anything on Google indicating that this is going to be the case.. :confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] QWIKSTRIKE:
its on the sprint forum
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AndroiDemon:
lol... You call that a quality "Filter"??? All it does is draw a circle over the center and blur the rest. That hardly qualifies as a filter.

You don't rate a camera based on it's ability to edit photos. By this logic, you're saying that the Evo 3D is better than, say, the Nikon D3?? Come on. If you want to edit pictures, get photoshop.

SGSII blows the *doors* off the Evo3D in EVERY respect.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
Evo3d camera is better cause it has 3 cameras compared to our two (front and back), IMHO 3 IS better than 2 :cool:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
I had the evo 4g, then upgraded to the evo 3d. Had it for 29 days to give it a full go, then returned it almost primarily because the camera sucked. Went 21 days without a smartphone(painful) to get the ET4G with my pending upgrade credit....so worth it. Evo 4g camera and ET4g cam Def better than evo 3d.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Brolloks:
Battery life on a E4GT (custom ROM) is like 5 times better than on a EVO3D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_exactly:
I also returned my 3d for this phone. I hated that phone. Touch screen gave me nothing but problems. Camera sucked too. 3d is a joke. You can't view the pictures anywhere but on your phone. It would have been a good phone if they ditched the 3d, improved the touch screen, and gave it a better camera. You couldn't even run a custom launcher without it freezing up. It is the 2nd worst phone sprint has had after the .....you all know.

To successfully get the unlock code, you have to leave the original locked provider's SIM in the phone.

At first I've removed the SIM and get 0123456 code using the BML method. Then reinserted the SIM, and was able to find the proper code.

I've cat'ed the partition three times, but no any damage. Already rebooted the phone several times, still OK.

So it's really the safe way!
