MikG (One of the most important Dev's on EVO IMO)

There really is no comparison. The ET feels so many generations of hardware beyond the OGEVO that it's unbelievable at times.

This phone is the titty bounce, woot woot. FTW, etc and so forth.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Itchiee:
For me its an overall upgrade in every aspect.

I don't mind keeping this phone for quite some time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ewynn9:
Literally night and day for me. I no longer need to charge my phone after 6 hours.... and 48GB of memory total
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] J_Bone:
Thanks for the info guys. My biggest concern/hope is that I don't want to go backwards in terms of reception. I don't talk a lot on my phone but I do need to be available. The EVO's for me has been adequate for me as a phone (including battery) but I loved everything else about it.

I may give the user reviews another day or so but I am jonesing hard here.

And +1 to MikG!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] akarol:
Reception is definetely inferior on the E4GT (people that claim it isn't are delusional or mentally retarded). There are numerous threads and posts about how the original EVO has better 3G/4G/WiFi reception. I have tested 2 EVOs vs. 3 E4GTs side-by-side and they all show similar results.

However, it isn't by much. The pros outweigh the cons in this case. Get the E4GT and you won't look back.

I'm just hoping Sammy releases an update soon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ker0zene:
Appreciate your testing but are you relying on the signal bars to determine signal strength? If so, that isn't a proper measurement and can't be relied on.

Like others have mentioned Wi-Fi signal shows 'lower bars' when the phone is the same distance as their Evo but the speeds are greatly improved.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LadyX:
I also picked up the EVO4g on launch and LOVED IT. I was pretty sure that I wasn't going to upgrade for quite some time. Mainly used CM7 but also played around with a few other ASOP roms.

I picked up my ET4g on a whim (and after reading the comparison on engadget) and I have to say that the ET4g is much faster, the signal seems slightly better in my office (that is a bomb shelter and only gets signal if I put my phone in a specific place) and the same everywhere else that I normally got signal.

I am really happy with the ET4g. The only drawback between the two for me so far is that the EVO felt solid in my hand, like I wasn't going to snap it in two or break it somehow. The ET4g seems dainty and fragile. This may be a good thing, and I'm sure once my case comes I'll feel a whole lot better about it. I also am a little annoyed with the button layout swap of the options / home key. I keep finding myself pushing the wrong fracking button.

So even being critical the negatives don't outweigh the positives for me. Now that my ET4g is rooted I love it.

Hope that's helpful!

PS - I'm a female with pretty dainty hands myself so the fragile-ness isn't because I have hulk smash hands.

Ran CM7 with my kernel:

1: The GS2 fascinates me every time I pull it out of my pocket

2: It fascinates me even more every time i unlock it

3: EVO 4g only did for a short time then the battery died lol (battery life was good after gingerbread)

4: Speaker is a lot louder and clearer, the ear piece, people I call can say they hear me much better now.

5: The phone is much faster stock than evo 4g w/ CM7/SavagedZen (which was awfully fast)

6: Camera takes very nice shots compared to the evo 4g

7: WiFI was stronger on the OG evo, no noticable difference with 3g/4g

8: Every time I take the epic out of my pocket im amazed
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] h20wakebum:
I too owned an EVO4g since launch and was sceptical about buying this phone.

What I love:

This phone handles .mkv video out of the box! On my evo, I'd try to play a 1.5gig video and it would pixelate and stutter (couldn't watch). The E4gT handles this PERFECTLY!!! NO LAG NO PIXELATION.

This was huge to me as I like to download videos and then hdmi from my laptop to my TV... now, I can just dl directly onto the E4Gt no problem!

Screen- It's vivid... The blacks are rich and the colors are amazing!

Camera- WTF, 1080p!!! Nice!! It's amazing. The color/quality is hands down the best I've seen.

It's much more responsive and faster.

Just a heads up... I sold my evo on craigslist for $200... and with my upgrade I got this phone for free... actually... I got sprint to give me a $50 credit to match wirefly/walmart... so I made $50 (well... only 12 if you could the 38 in taxe).

Go for it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ilostmypistons:
I did speedtest on both side by side and the E4GT with one bar is way faster than the EVO with 4bars its not even close Ill do it again when my wife gets home from work with her EVO if you want me to post screen shots
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] akarol:
And you're assuming I am using signal bars for my testing why?! I never mentioned that. I am measuring using dB levels.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R1ptide:
I came from an Evo4G as well and did a signal comparison test using dbs. I cannot comment on 4G but the 3G reception of my Evo is definitely superior but not by a huge amount. Wifi is clearly superior on the Evo. Also after some testing it appears the E4GT is not capable of roaming on the PCS band (bandclass 1) only roams on cellular (bandclass 0) This may not affect many but if your in an area like florida or texas iirc which is straight PCS, no roaming for you!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] akarol:
^^ That! ^^
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Journeyjeans:
For me, it's EVO 4G for the win.

I so wanted to like this phone (Epic Touch). The screen is AMAZING. The design is AMAZING (people have commented like "what's THAT?")....in a good signal area, phone noticeably does download pages faster....but not by much. a second or two, which in real world experience means nothing...but it is noticeable.

The battery life.....AMAZING...first smart phone I ever owned that made it through the entire day AND night. Unfreaking believable.

But Data problems....I cannot stand.

The Samsung "glitches" like having to press buttons more than once OCCASIONALY or programs closing out of no where....I could almost live with...

But I NEED data, I use it more that the phone, lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xenokc:
I agree with all of this except...

- Epic Touch speakerphone sounds better, voice/music seems to have broader freq range than EVO

- Epic Touch cell reception is better for me. I don't drop call in my condo elevator when reaching the garage basement. The EVO did at times.

I was sold on the bright, slightly bigger screen and it's crazy thin/light. Is weird grabbing the old EVO a couple days later... is a slow, heavy brick in comparison.

Others may be measuring better signal for EVO but in real world, the Epic Touch is holding call in weakest areas for me than EVO did.

I can't think of any EVO attribute that is better, maybe WiFi signal.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] J_Bone:
Can wifi be improved with software/rooting?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bbedward:
Likely with an updated driver, my guess is it's likely a bug or wrong value for something

and evo 4g is a great device, either way I'd conclude that the evo 4g and et4g trump the evo 3d in the data department lol.

My calls are much clearer than on the evo, louder too. Evo 3d was a nightmare and the evo 4g was about average. (Not talking about reception, just call quality)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R1ptide:
Also the evo 4g is better at displaying white, any other color the epic wins...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] matase:
My epic 4g touch does not 3g while in a roaming mode. I've checked the coverage map and it I am within the 3g area on network. The reason that I am roaming in the area within my network is because I live in a 4 story building, even though I am on the top floor. Anyway, is there a reason why I don't have data in a roaming mode?I get a little triangle with a ! that says "you have lost data connectivity be.." can't finish reading the message because it is cut off.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nate420:
Check your roam settings and allow roaming.... Mine roams just fine... (If thats a good thing?)

2 miles out of my town and I roam wtf sprint!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] matase:
Roaming is enabled and roaming guards are disabled. Even though I am getting four bars in roaming, still no data is available.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vikramjatt11:
Buy "roam control" from the market, and try forcing ur phone into roaming... if it doesnt work, return the app within the 15 min period
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] matase:
don't I need to root the phone first to use roam control?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Pitnefor:
yes ... not sure why it was recommended

---------- Post added at 10:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:09 AM ----------

I had to disable roam guard for domestic data.. then I had to toggle data roaming. even though it was checked, it wasnt working. So I toggled data roaming and then I got a popup asking me if I really wanted to data roam. I hit "roam" and now I see a 3G with a Triangle where previously I only saw a triangle

but good god its slow data
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] churro7:
make sure data roaming is enabled for domestic and international
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fbyers59:
Thanks! This got rid of my data roam error. I am connected to WiFi right now so haven't checked the network data speed yet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] matase:
Worked for me also. disabled and reenabled roaming and it asked me if i was sure if I wanted to roam. Finally I am able to get 3g while roaming.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gage_Hero:
Are there plans to create a Telus forum?

I have both a Samsung Galaxy S T959D and a Galaxy S 4G T959P. When I go looking for answers in "like" phones I normally get told that this is not the place to ask or did you search the forums? I would be nice to have one place for Telus related issues. All I want to do is root my phone but I have talked to other Telus users that have used the forums and wrong software and failed miserably.

Thanks and Best Regards.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gage_Hero:
Hi System,

That is just it, there is no forum for anything Telus specifically for me Samsung T959P or D. From what I have read, the hardware is different for this phone and has the potential to become a paper weight if we use advise from phones that look like ours but the different internals.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] System92:
Maybe someone has already asked the question for your specific device? Try the search function with your device version. If nothing appears, maybe specify it in your question.

If you can't get help on a Galaxy S forum, I don't know where else :confused:

The thing is if XDA created specific forums for each carrier branded phone it would get quite cluttered.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gage_Hero:
Okay System, I understand, but I had to give it a try. I probably just have to wait a while. The update came out on Saturday from 2.2 to 2.3.4 so eventually someone will figure it out.

Hello to everyone,

i have a rooted mytouch 3g 1.2 that i recently bricked trying to flash the new radio. i accidenaly flashed it trough recovery instead of H-Boot and now my phone wont boot past the green mytouch 3g slash screen, it also wont boot into recovery or fastboot, i was attemting to flash the new radio so that my touch screen would work on the 32a ROMs

I also cannot acces my fastboot information l know is that:

1. its a mytouch 3g 1.

2. its a 32a model

3. it is running the old radio and SPL

4. i believe that its S-ON G (but im not completely sure)

any advice on how to getthis thing wrking again is greatly appreiciated. my phone has been completely bricked for about 2-3 days now and i would really like to get it back to working condition

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pkchips:
I don't understand what's happened - my microSD card used to write at just over 6 MB/sec (it is class 6)

Since then, I haven't flashed any ROMs in months. However, I have just flashed a new ROM (Energy Android) and the speeds I am getting are pathetic. After writing to the SD card before and after flashing, from within the ROM, MAGLDR and Clockwork, I can't achieve write speeds greater than 1MB/sec. That's worse than a Class 2!

What's happened? What can I do to fix it?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] casemandan:
Very simple my friend. With time and use(writing, overwriting etc) the sd card becomes less and less efficient.

What you need to do once every couple of months is a FULL FORMAT(not the quick one)

So Back up your entire contents of SD card in a folder on your PC and use PANASONIC SD CARD FORMATTER https://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/eula

Then just do a Full (ERASE).. it'll be a while but your card will run like BRAND SPANKIN NEW!

I know its a pain in the ass to transfer it all back to the sd , but hey LIFE aint easy ;)

I'm gonna have to do it too... mines slowing down again after a good few months just like yours.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pkchips:
Hi, I keep trying to do a full erase but it defaults back to Quick Format when I start. I am trying to do this whilst connected to the SD card through my phone. Do I need to do this with an SD card adapter?

If so, it'll be a while before I can get my hands on one :(
