Is the usb adaptorsupply enough power to connect to portable harddisk? I got acer a500 but my wifey is getting jealous of it so I'm thinking of getting another one. The acer can run any usb drive with root even ntfs formatted. How is the asus on this front? Ntfs format and usb charging is it possible?

The samsung weather widget and its weather application is much better than accuweather app in market. But I can not install it, always show app installed fail. And I also try to copy the apk to the system\app, also useless.
[Acer Iconia A500] xamilek555:
If you want to use it you have to use ROMs based on galaxy tab ROMs or Taboonay ROM (you can get Weather widget from apps,themes kitchen) (Sorry for my engilsh)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eakrish:
I currently have the droid bionic with a iPhone as my back up. Is it worth me switching to sprint to pick up the Epic touch? How's the battery life and reception with sprint compared to VZW? Right now with juice defender I get about a consistent 20 hrs actually using my phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spencer88:
Verizons network is better as far as data speeds go. I don't think it's worth the switch for just a device.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
Depends on where you are and where you tend to travel to.

I get 2-2.5Mb 3G speeds with Sprint (250 - 300KBytes/s) at home and and work. I also get 1-1.5Mb 3G in the middle of the forest up in northern Wisconsin. All with a lowly Moment.

There is an active 4G tower where I work (according to a friend's Evo) despite it not being on the coverage map.

On the other hand, if you are stuck anywhere where Verizon has the only network, you will have crappy data speeds because Verizon refuses to allow anything more than 1x roaming to Sprint customers. This also applies if you are on the edge of a Sprint tower... Sprint tends to want to keep you connected to a Sprint signal, regardless of its strength. This can get frustrating at times.

If you do go with Sprint, the first app you should download and pay for is Roam Control.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -logik-:
That all depends on your needs...

Sprint's voice and data plans are much cheaper and 4g data is unlimited. 3g is limited to 5gb per month.

If you do need coverage in remote areas, check Sprint's coverage maps and see if there is signal where you need it.

http://coverage.sprint.com/IMPACT.jsp

If you dont use much data and want to spend more to get faster speeds while paying more for voice as well, Verizon is the way to go. I would only hang with Verizon if coverage is an issue.

I had Verizon for many years and switched to Sprint in 2006. I've never regretted making the change.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
Sprint doesn't cap data at 5GB for mobile phones. Only on their usb cards.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
Pick your provider FIRST, then pick your device.

As stated be sure to not just check a coverage map but to check with friends and coworkers who have Sprint and live/commute/work in your area.

I've traveled the country a little and I have never been without Sprint coverage except in two tiny holes in my home town...where not a single provider has anything but threshold levels of service out doors, indoors you get squat from any of them. These "holes", however, can be deal breakers if you happen to live and/or work in them. Coverage maps help, a little, but asking people (and looking at their signal meters) is far more precise.

As far as data speed is concerned it's a mixed bag. I came from a line of HTC devices where changing the PRL on-the-go was simple so I used the "00001.prl" a lot. This PRL, essentially, puts you on Verizon's towers, full speed 3G. I can honestly say that while Verizon's speeds tend to be far more consistent than Sprint's that even though I had the chance to get out of Sprint this month (for free) that instead of going to Big Red I used that to upgrade to the Epic Touch without hesitation...The data speeds can drag-ass in a highly congested area at times but unless it's lunch time in a 1-bar area I don't tend to dip below 500kbps and if it is later in the day (or evening) and/or in a sparsely populated area (or higher-income area, draw your own conclusions) I have seen as high as 2.7mbps...my friend lives in a low-population high income area and he may be the only Sprint subscriber for miles, lol, and they get 2.5~2.7mbps all day every day. There are also times/places where Sprint's 3G speed absolutely spanks Verizon's.

...as far as 4G goes it can be blazing fast but you probably won't ever get the signal indoors unless you are in a 4G saturated metropolitan environment. I hear lots of complaints about 4G speed but when I get connected it's always faster than my home internet (6mbps, the most you can get from residential ATT DSL around here), I have seen 15mbps too.

As far as price is concerned Sprint wins hands down especially if you consider the unlimited data and free roaming. Voice roaming is unlimited. There is a "soft" limit of 3G roaming at 300mb, but, that is a floating line. If you aren't usually roaming but happen to travel somewhere that you are forced to roam at worst they will call or send you a letter telling you that if you do it again your contract may be terminated. But as long as it doesn't happen at work or at home they are mostly forgiving...and if not? That's a free out on your contract and now you have a $500-$700 (retail) phone for trade-up or resale to go back to Verizon.

EDIT: Oh yeah, battery life. It's killer. Very very killer compared to a Moment, Hero, Evo 4G and Evo 3D this thing slaughters them all. It's hard to say since I have been using my phone more than breathing these past 2 days, but, considering that I'm very impressed....*very* impressed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tucci999:
I agree with most everyone here take a look and see what you are using and what you need. make sure you have coverage at home and work and other places you visit regularly. if it works out for you make the switch. You can save alot of money with Sprint depending on your needs and they have a great selection of phones, I just the the GSII and it is awesome about 50% faster then the evo3d it just flies. but all of that power doesn't mean anything if you can't get signal.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AvatarOfFrost:
I just switched from Verizon because I wanted the GS2 really bad.

I live in Seattle and Sprint has good coverage here so I'm pretty happy. (i've had Sprint in the past as well)

You can always switch and test drive Sprint for 14 days (or maybe it's 30) and if you don't like it, return to Verizon. No big deal.

PS: I had the Droid Bionic for a few days before switching to Sprint. Honestly, I think the GS2 is simply better in every way. That's just my opinion. Couldn't deal with the Pentile display and the camera was quite a disappointment.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bigjim1488:
If the service is good in the area then go for it. Of not I wouldn't change. If I could do it all over again I would have switched to vz before they started the data caps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] muzicman82:
I switched about 6 years ago and never looked back. I had voice and data with them for over 10 years, back in the Bell Mobile days. They kicked me off of a BroadbandAccess for using too much data claiming I HAD to have violated the ToS (P2P, video streaming, web hosting) by using over 5GB in a month. Really, that is only 150MB a day and that goes very quickly with just web and e-mail if you use it daily. I work on the road a LOT so naturally, I went over this regularly. I had to explain what I do and that I did NOT violate the ToS, which said NOTHING about 5GB. I didn't do any of the activities it stated. This was back when everything was unlimited with no fine print. They didn't charge an ETF and asked if I wanted to reactivate the account. I declined and moved to Sprint and eventually took voice too. Have been very happy since.

I still consider Sprint to be the best value in wireless. It always seemed that VZW nickle and dime'd me to death. My bill fluctuated month to month by $20 with no changes in service and additional fees. Just "taxes". They charged for web order shipping, activation, and everything they could have.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eakrish:
I forgot to mention I have unlimited data
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] muzicman82:
I wouldn't have switched. As stated below I was on them with true unlimited before they started the caps. Then they terminated the account and offered to reactivate, probably to instate a cap on me. I suspect the same would have happened to you.

When I switched data to Sprint, I asked if they had unlimited data and bandwidth, and got multiple confirmations (with chat transcripts) that it was 100% unlimited. They introduced the 5GB limit a year or two later. And, since I haven't renewed the contract or accepted any new modems on that line, it today is still unlimited and I use 8-10GB (sometimes more) monthly. They've called and tried to get me to renew, which would activate 4G but put a cap on 3G... and I've declined. Until 4G is everywhere I need on the road, I can't do it.

Phones are still unlimited, so I wonder if a cheap phone to tether with an unlimited plan is worth it for tethering only?? Just a thought.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eakrish:
I don't need a phone to tether, just need a bad ass phone that looks great, feels super fast and has great battery life. I also want a great looking display and widgets that are good for social media.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] QWIKSTRIKE:
Sprint does NOT offer unlimited roaming.....I found this out while traveling to Florida in August. When I got done with explaining the Ambiguity in their false claims it has now since changed from unlimited roaming to unlimitting roaming on their network. They are such good corporate game players(liars).

Misleading people is what I don't agree with, but they are the cheapest game in town and suffice "if" you can get a signal. That said you get 800 minutes of roaming on their unlimited plan, and what ever your land line minutes are on their lower plans is the amount of roaming you will have before you have to PAY overages. If the overages happen too much they void your contract after making you aware that their is no unlimited.:cool: Now before any one starts debating this look at the advertisements and if that doesn't clue you in call and ask what I said.

They advertised unlimited roaming until I got done with them. They had a little fine print in the back of that agreement letting unsuspecting people that went over know that there was no unlimited roaming. Then they try to collect money for it. But, I let them know that ambiguity in contract law goes to the consumer, and that we can all void our contracts based on this lil tidbit of a lie, because many of us joined because of the roaming plan when we lose their coverage, and since it was a hoax the contract was null and void. They have now changed it to read unlimited roaming on their network only. How can you roam on the very network that you reside.:(:eek::cool:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
Roaming on their network!? I'm trying really hard to find some way to make sense out of that... my legalese-to-english converter is usually pretty good but I just can't....wrap my....anything around that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] muzicman82:
Agreed. Carrier first. A phone shouldn't really be a reason to switch, although this phone is pretty awesome.

Sprint has been AWESOME in nearly all areas. They seem better than VZW for me in rural areas. I live in the middle of nowhere and have EXCELLENT EVDOrA signal.

---------- Post added at 03:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:35 PM ----------

Verizon has plenty of phones in that department.. and nearly any Android phone would fill those needs. If you want the best Android phone available right now, this is it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kawaski47:
Also you may want to keep an eye out for the sprint network meeting October 7th. They are going to talk about this new thing called "network vision".
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TabsAZ:
I switched on Friday and I'm already starting to regret it - I haven't seen a 3G download speed higher than around 90kbps here. The phone is absolutely amazing on wifi and I love the device itself, but out around town it's pretty bad. I tried to download a 2MB or so app at a restaurant where I had a full 5 bars of signal last night and it was still trying to download 15+ minutes later because of how slow the actual download rate was. It's worse than a dial-up modem at time.

I wasn't even thinking about the unlimited data on VZW when I did it too - did I lose that now even if I do a winback?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] QWIKSTRIKE:
I think they are doing something for the launch of the iPHONE. It was never this slow until recently. It had better go back to how it was or I will ditch their asses;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] muzicman82:
Did you investigate Sprint coverage before you switched? What is signal strength like? Are you metering 90 kbps with SpeedTest app, tethering, or a program like DU Meter?

I'm guessing your PRL is up to date..

I'd also make sure you don't have any background apps downloading stuff.

Also, are you saying 90 kilo-bytes per second or 90 kilo-bits per second. 90 kilo-bytes is almost 1Mbps, and is a low-side average for 3G. That could also vary by network congestion, etc.

90 kilo-bits sounds like 1xRTT and not EVDO.

I'd also check with other users, or try a mobile broadband card if you can.

You will lose unlimited from VZW if you go back, but like I posted earlier, I am surprised they didn't terminate you to get you on limited like they did me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Pitnefor:
is it true that, if you were grandfathered into unlimited on verizon, and you upgrade to a 4G phone, your account becomes a tiered instead of unlimited?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] muzicman82:
I am 99% sure, yes.

Upgrading phones renews the contract if you get the phone from them. Since there is a plan change involved, you can't move to a 4G phone without renewing the contract and changing plans.

If you were the buy the phone elsewhere, you technically should be able to change plans without renewing the contract, but they probably won't let you do it... or it may not be possible. Sprint lets you change plans without renewing your contract.

If you accept discounted hardware from them, your contract is renewed. No way around it. You also can't renew a contract without accepting new hardware. Apparently it is against the law you to sign a contract without accepting some sort of hardware or credit.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TabsAZ:
90 kilobits yes, tested with Speedtest on multiple servers - it does feel like 1X - I thought the same thing. Does not feel like 3G at all despite having a 3G icon in the notification bar. All the areas I tried in around town show "Great" or "Good" 3G coverage on the Sprint map.

So I would have lost unlimited anyway at VZW if I'd waited a few months for the Prime or gotten the Bionic or whatever?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] muzicman82:
My knowledge of cellular towers is limited, but I thought some towers act as repeaters, wirelessly picking up signal and re-broadcasting them. I wonder if you have one that is picking up a 1xRTT signal and broadcasting it as 3G/EVDO.

Yes, you would have lost unlimited to my knowledge. I think the only way to keep it is to stay on the same plan/services and not upgrade hardware from VZW.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eagercrow:
I switched from Verizon about 5 months ago and regret it. Sprint 3g SUCKS. I get faster speeds roaming on verizon 1x than I do using sprint 3g. Sprint's 4g is a joke since it doesn't penetrate buildings very well.

I travel all over the place and am gone about 3 days every week. In my travels I've noticed that Sprints service is very sporadic when I'm not using Roam control and on Verizon's towers.

I'm really holding out hope that with the iphone sprint does something to make 3g better.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdverley:
Apparently sprint is getting ready to add rev b to their 3g. This would mean 5 to 15 for speeds on 3g. Apparently the epic 4g touch is one of the few phones thats already set up to support rev b.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] muzicman82:
Where are you located?

I am in the Wilmington, DE area but live in southern NJ. In both places, my 3G is excellent. In fact, I can sustain 250-300 kB/s downloads almost all the time. 4G is very good in and around the city where it is claimed to be. When I switched to Sprint, I was blown away with speeds over Verizon. Admittedly, I use 3G/4G and monitor speeds more on a Mobile Broadband account, but the service is the same. I use a program called DU Meter to watch speeds on both Windows AND they have an Android app now. Very nice.

I travel regularly around NJ, PA, DE, MD, and NY... and my signal has always been Sprint 3G or 4G and very good. I don't think I have ever seen roam.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eagercrow:
I'm in Ca and travel mostly around the state. Mainly LA area, and SF area. I've also been to a bunch of western states, but my experiences are mostly based off of my time in Ca. If I get 200kb/s I feel like I've hit the lottery, lol.

I'm excited to see how this phone is going to do this week when I'm traveling because a lot of my problems might have been due to my "old" phone which had known antenna issues (Nexus S 4g).

If I didn't have 2 phones (work and personal) I don't think I'd be with sprint because I've had a TON of missed calls due to crappy signal. Luckily my work phone is ATT and they have excellent coverage so in an emergency I can get in touch with someone if needed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] muzicman82:
I imagine speeds are greatly affected by congestion. CA I hear is much more populated than Delaware and New Jersey.

Good luck with the phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clubtech:
Don't hold your breath. Sprint's service in the CA is appalling. their 3G speeds are below pathetic and their 4g service is really not consistent. VZW and AT&T will get you far better results. I only have the E4GT because of the screen but use VZW's LTE mifi when i need data.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wytecaztle:
Speed varies from state to state depending on the load of the network at times...and for the guy says he regrets swithcing why are you lurking in this phones forum go back to Verizon. Troll much?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] muzicman82:
Yeah, just goes to show that everyone is different everywhere. I imagine the iPhone 5 will give them the jump start they need to get the infrastructure improved. Or it could just doom them the first week. =/

No worries, I imagine Apple activation servers will go down at the same time. Time will tell.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eagercrow:
Trolling? No jackass, I bought this phone anyway.

If it were my only form of communication I would not be with sprint. But I can live with sprints crappy service. Once we get root I'll start using roam control and verizons towers. I do spend enough time in 4g or wifi available areas so those coupled with roaming makes the best service possible and I'm able to enjoy the phone as it's intended.

I guess my point is; as others have stated, don't switch just because of the phone if you are happy with your current coverage and data speeds.

Also as someone above pointed out, talk to people in the areas you will be using the phone in. I have a friend who is very happy with T-mobile, but he works about a mile from his house and rarely travels. I had the service for 7 days and that was long enough to know it wouldn't work for me because they didn't have coverage in 80% of the places I visited, even though their coverage maps showed everywhere as covered.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wytecaztle:
Wow Jackass huh.....please dont make this the Epic forum keep cool man.....just sounded like you were complaning...I meant no harm. I am very pleased with my Sprint service and have talked to truck drivers who drive cross country with no issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
Yeah, that's not normal even in congested areas...and that'd be only for a few seconds.

I was getting this too. There has been a problem with every new phone I've activated for the past few months. Go to www.sprint.com/chat and request to have your "data reset" or "refreshed"...you shut your phone off, they do some magic stuff, then they have you 'update profile' and poof everything is faster. I was getting 25-90kbps tops, which I know is not normal even with 1 bar. So chatted, had it refreshed and now I'm getting 500-900kbps in my apartment with 1-2 bars.

Sprint's network typically has speed consistency issues where it usually bounces (for me) between 400kbps and 1mbps, when I hop onto Verizon's PRL I get nearly the same speeds but it is far more consistent.

Get your data reset. Sprint has been having this problem on new activations for a few months now....what you are experiencing is not normal...and if Sprint's network is actually that congested in that area (which I still doubt) I would get the hell out now.
