"1. Decreased 3G/4G/WiFi reception comparing to previous phone (EVO 4G)."

Can this be fixed with updates? I really hope so, that is my only issue with the phone currently.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stupendusd:
Mine in decreasing order of annoyance:

Decreased 3G/4G/WiFi reception comparing to previous phone (MoPho).

LED is blue or red, thats it (tried diferent options incl. apk's... all to no avail).

No landscape mode for TW

Speaker full volume / clarity at said full volume is good, but speaker does strain infrequently and is not as loud as MoPho's (barely but still noticeable)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] akarol:
Wow, thanks for the bottom key tweak. Overlooked that one.

My complaint about the lockscreen is the plainess and lack of features it possesses. Sense simply blows TW away at the moment.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Journeyjeans:
Yeah, Sense is plenty better, but TW isn't that bad, other than the lock screen.....and the way they have it set up to select your widgets.....but it's okay.

DITTO tho on the data, that's a biggie. I'm returning mine because of this. I need data, I use it more than the phone, lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] romantivist:
1. The vibration when I received a text was insanely too long, but I can't figure out how to adjust the pattern.

2. 4G keeps going to sleep while I'm streaming music with the display off, and I have to wake the phone to get the music to start streaming again.

Nothing else is really bothering me right now. Except I'd like a better lock screen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nate420:
Yeah but bloated down the RAM.... Wait till a port or AOSP or use.a launcher... I never use touchwiz or sense or blurr on any of the phones I have

My only nuisance is your avatar :(

Lost quite.a bit of money on yesterdays game
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
I suppose if you like 1gb+ roms, sure.

Touchwiz is incredibly easy to theme. I'm sure there will be an 8 lockscreen mod port soon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Hhavoc:
Lack of airplane mode in the shade pull-down. My office has zero reception, so need to rely on Google voice during office hours.

Will probably use anycut to put an airplane-mode shortcut on the homescreen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TabsAZ:
Biggest ones for me right now concern the dialer:

- No instant-call button on the dialer's Favorites or Contacts tabs - you have to tap the name, then call on the second screen. On stock Android it has a phone icon right there at the right side of each name's field. No clue why they'd go and remove that, it's extremely useful.

- No way to turn off the huge photos next to people's names - I always turned those off on stock to make it just a list of names with the phone icon on the right - it showed a lot more names per screen that way. Again, no idea why a feature like that gets removed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deputydon:
If you swipe your finger right to left over their name it calls them. If you swipe left to right it brings you into messaging. I actually like it more than the stock call buttons. Keeps the contacts menu more clean imo.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beejmeister:
First. I am rooted so there is a possibility it is the rooted Kernel that is doing this... but maybe not as it is radio related.

Twice today lost signal on the golf course (and in addition to phone signal lost data so my GPS Golf App wasn't usable when I needed it for distance to the green)... but couldn't get the phone to trigger signal back on even if I put the phone in Airplane Mode (both times) and back out. Also tried turning roaming off and on.

Both times I HAD to turn the phone completely off and then back on. When it came back on I had 4 bars (but had previously been unable to connect).

Not good...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jake21:
When I was playing with the phone @ the sprint store I noticed that airplane mode option pop up if i hit the power switch while in phone mode.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beejmeister:
No biggie, as I'm sure all that try will find out, but he means your "other left" and "other right" (as my father used to say as I was growing up), i.e. the swipe directions described are actually the opposite directions.

Cheers!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Hhavoc:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Pheno.menon:
When I'm texting with Swype, the language switches to Espanol all the time because the language button is right next to the comma button. :mad:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oboroninja:
I can't for the life of me figure out how to keep the screen from turning off while the phone is plugged in. Its usually under settings>applications> development> keep screen on while charging..

Sense 3.0 is awful in my opinion. A phone should not start making random thunder noises with clouds covering the screen.

My biggest problem is reception. ThinkI will be keeping touchwiz though, I am actually liking it. The music player has amazing sound if you use the built in audio effects.

The lock-screen is garbage. The volume control under settings is not practical. And 3g connectivity issues coming off wifi is a major bug.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FlameOut00:
I must have something set wrong, but when reading emails, they are huge. I have to swipe to read them. Can't they be scaled to fit the screen size? Also if reading email in landscape mode, the list of email is on the left of the screen and the currently being read email is on the right. I don't need the list of emails. I tried everything I can think of, including tiny font, but the email is still not scaled to the screen size

Oh, and is there a way to actually make the phone vibrate for everything and not just calls? I have volume all the way down, but when I get a text the female voice says I have a new text. Not good at 3am

Lots of good things I like about the phone though :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GodHead:
To get rid of the split screen mode in email for landscape:

In Email Application -> Menu Button -> More -> Account Settings -> Split View Mode (scroll to the bottom of settings, and unchcek it)

Changing the Font Size in the Email application settings to Small or Tiny seems to work perfect on my phone. Not sure what issue you have there.

Pull down notification bar and select "Sound" and it will change to vibrate mode. You'll need to configure vibration for emails within the emails settings if you want them to vibrate. Same thing for the messages if you want those to vibrate.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] itbmd:

If you are talking about 3g/4g data its a sprint wide thing. You guys better be careful here. It may not be the phone.....data issues seem to be nation wide
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kn0wBuddy:
The "Battery Critically Low" notification. Not that it happens, that's fine, but it's ridiculous that it happens when the phone is plugged in.

Apparently, the genius who programmed this notification was so lazy that they decided it wasn't worth it to actually check the "connected to power" status before having the phone pointlessly make a loud noise and effectively say "Gee idiot, I bet you didn't know that your battery was low, you might want to plug your phone in."
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zoidpilot:
If you guys get Agile Lock from the app store, it will give you the sense 3.0 lockscreen.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bl4ckcontact:
Only complaint I have is the speaker location. I know there isn't really any other place to put it from a logical standpoint, but I find myself constantly covering the speaker grille whenever I hold the phone in landscape. I should also mention that it does a damn good job of blocking any sound from coming out at all.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Pao23:
Judging from the data reception experience we had with a Nexus S that we had to return a week later I really don't doubt it being the phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] n00b1269:
Tried both agile and ripple lock and both ate the battery on my photon. Any one tried it on the ET4G? How much battery does it consume?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] txmikester:
My top 2 are:

1. Speakerphone volume is not very loud

2. Lack of an auto-rotate toggle on the notification pulldown

Pretty minor overall, and the pros of this phone outweighs the minor glitches.

Even touchwiz I would list as a pro. I hated TW on my Charge, but it's very much improved on the E4GT
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kiwiBeans:
I concur. The lockscreen is just piss poor (like they gave up/didn't even try to do anything special with it - AT ALL). I remember seeing that one lock screen that was a puzzle piece you put back in place... I love that, whatever it is. Also - the way the screen will lock immediately regardless of delay IF you manually turn it off with the power button. What's up with that?

The power button the phone - was a hellish nightmare on the original Epic as pressing the button means you're putting pressure on the other side of the phone (simple human engineering concept, no?) - which made you slide the phone partially open. On this handset, you're either pressing the volume button when you want to press the power button, or vice versa.

The phone vibration is ungodly long with no option to tweak per general phone settings. However, an app like Handcent for messaging will allow you to change the vibrate pattern as you see fit.

Can't you just hold the power button? Airplane mode is almost just as easily accessible this way.

I install Quick Settings from the market, arrange the settings in order of importance to me, and make that the default app to turn on with a search button long press. I use it ALL the time to do things like adjust volume settings (or even make the phone silent with a touch), adjust screen timeout, and even lock portrait mode. You might want to check it out.

Settings > Motion settings > TILT options (can turn this off here).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
I'll second the comment about the dialer... Too many steps to make a phone call.

Yes, I know you can swipe right on the contact to make the call, and left for other options, but it seems slower to me. I liked have the little picture of the phone on the right, and the handle on the left. A simple tap is easier to do one-handed than a swipe.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] m4rk0358:
What's with the annoying media scan whenever you plug/unplug the device from a PC?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Erigion:
1) The battery icon in the status bar is constantly green. I wish Samsung would've just stuck with the standard Gingerbread battery icon colors. It makes it much easier to quickly glance and see how much juice you have left.

2) Wi-Fi signal seems to be weaker than any other phone I've had.

3) Wish the Call Log would group consecutive calls from the same person like in stock GB, would make for a cleaner log.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayLancer:
The power button on mine is a bit loose. I wish it felt a bit firmer like the volume rocker.

No rotation on homescreen on stock TW.

Can't seem to access joystiq.com or engadget.com. Not sure what's going on.

phone heats up pretty hot when charging and using it (>40 celsius)

random LOS issues

weak wifi signal compared to other phones I've used

other than that...phone's amazing. too bad they can never get it perfect though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ChodaBoyUSA:
FWIW, with my stock E4GT in Nashville, TN, I have achieved 3G speeds of 400kbps to 1.1mbps and 4G speeds of 1.3mbps to 8.7mbps (yes 8.7 megabits). I do not seem to suffer from the LOS issue, but I do have the Android OS and "suspend, events/0" high percentage issue, and the unexplained heat / won't charge issue.

It is difficult to tell if the LOS and slow data issues are phone hardware, phone software, and/or Sprint network related.

Is there any information I could provide to help diagnose these problems?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DonutGrunt:
After using Wi-Fi for a while and switching over to 3G, there is no mobile network and it can't be re enabled through the Wireless and Network settings.

I have to reboot the phone.

This is really annoying, because I get bad signal in my house, and I prefer to use Wi-Fi. But then when I go out, or when people text me, I don't know until it's too late.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] difrent7:
I am not having any real LOS issues where i need to restart my phone but I have had more drop calls on my Epic touch then I ever did on my Nexus S 4g. Almost once a day I have a call drop on me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ChodaBoyUSA:
It really makes me wonder WHAT the companies are thinking when they remove (or override) convenience features like these. There is no obvious reason to me why Samsung needed to mess with these things.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hancod:
I am going to jump in with the crowd and say the unacceptably slow data on the phone. I am seeing an average of 200k. I know that the issue is related specifically to this phone as the other Sprint devices in my office don't see this issue, but the 2 other ET4Gs do... Hope it gets resolved soon, or it may be going back. It's a shame too because this phone is amazing.

[HTC Sensation] sn0warmy:
I tried installing the latest CM7 ROM release. The install went fine and then I installed the recommended PG58IMG.zip update through fastboot. No issues.

However, now the phone won't boot past the HTC screen. This doesn't concern me all that much because I just want to boot into recovery, do a full wipe then install the ROM again to fix the issue.

However, I can't get into recovery because the phone keeps wanting to flash the radio update file in fastboot. How can i bypass this? I currently have no way of getting the PG58IMG.zip file off the sd card.

Thanks for the help!
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Have you tried to plug your phone into your computer, bring up adb and type adb reboot recovery?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Delete the file off the SD card and try again
[HTC Sensation] idavid_:
@EddyOS

That can be a problem.
[HTC Sensation] VisedMonk:
Do you have a micro sdcard reader on your computer, or in the alternative, an adapter for your sdcard that will allow you to plug your sdcard into your computer? If so, you can pull the sdcard from your phone, hook it up to your computer, delete the PG58IMG.zip file, and reboot to recovery so you can install the rom again.

**EDIT**

When asked if you want to apply the radio update, why can't you press volume down for "No" and reboot to recovery? I can't remember if this is an option or not so just thought I'd throw this out there...
[HTC Sensation] Lakeshow423:
1. - Open the back cover

2. - Remove the SD Card

3. - Pull the battery out for 5 secs and put it back in

4. - Put the cover back on

5. - Press Vol Down and Power at the same time. Keep holding on Vol Down till you

6. - Select Recovery

7. - Wipe Cache

8. - Put your SD Card back in

9. - Reboot phone and its all working again.

Ok, out of all the ways to "kill" my phone, this has to be the more irritating because it is so stupid

I had my phone rooted with froyo. I have a custom recovery mod alsoand I had installed launcher pro+ as well.

Unfortunately, LPP was not letting me switch back to sense, so i uninstalled it.

Now i have no home screen. The phone boots, but i only see the status bar.

I need to flash this back to stock.

I went into recovery and did a factory reset, but its only wiping my data and cant seem to find the file to flash too.... i must have accidently deleted it without knowing and I have no clue what file it could be.

Can anyone help out?

...i honestly dont know why sense didnt take over when LPP was uninstalled.
[Thunderbolt General] Br0wNb0y:
You could just download another custom rom and flash it. I would recommend Synergy ROM.

Make sure to clear data, cache, system, dalvik, and for good measure battery stats first.

---------- Post added at 12:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:38 PM ----------

Or download Home Switcher and see if you can switch back to HTC Launcher

[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
Sorry to tell you but it sounds like you deleted HTC Sense. A Factory Wipe/Reset would have brought it back if your defaults were just screwed up. You need to get a ROM to your SD Card and flash it, or hold the magnifying glass soft button (On the phone) and say "Go To Market" or "Open Market" it show open a web page. From there search for a Launcher "Launcher Pro, ADW.Launcher, etc) and click it. It should ask if you want to use "Market" or "Internet" click "Market", download it, and you should now have a home (=P). Now you can either download the ROM or again or stay where you are at.

My goodness... you never cease to amaze me Blue. As a developer I've never had much patience for write-ups, so I can applaud your efforts! Learning the hard way blows (although does yield better lessons sometimes)!

On a side note, I applied the Dark Market update zip thinking that it applied the (regular) market... I wasn't really sure what "Dark" stood for. So I opened it and was surprised to see a - you guessed it - DARK version of the newest Market. Anyways, point being is that I opened it, checked it out, closed it and a few minutes later it was uninstalled and replaced with the regular (newest) Market. I like the regular Market, so it worked out for the best, but just figured I'd let you know. :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
You know, it's funny - one of those little things that's a D'oh! moment.

When I first saw that, I thought you meant you just installed a different (or your stock) version of the market over it.
