[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abrcrmdl23:
Just putting my two cents in I have both bought my photon and got a launch device for working at sprint of a gs2 andI must say I like my photon a lot better than my gs2 I thinkI am switching back today. Thre radio sucks in this phone slow and I always get errors web browsing where it just stops working, phone locks up and becomes un responsive quite often, and oh did I mention the radio blows. The screen has that bad yellowish tint on low brightness which I use a lot in white screens, and the battery life is no where near what I get on my photon. Just my two cents though.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
Hmmm, never get errors while browsing on the SGS2 and the haven't had the phone lock up on me either. Either something wrong with your phone or some apps that are not playing nice as your problem seems pretty isolated.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LouieGrandie:
OK explain the LOS to me. I have had the phone since launch day and have had no connection issues. When I need to make a call I can, when I need to check email I can, when I need to browse the web I can. So what's the problem?

I wish I could create a Frankenphone and combine the Motorola Photon radio and antenna with the Samsung Epic 4G Touch size and software. That would be one sweet phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
When you get LOS you will know it. You will have a zero with a line across it in the top bar and you will no longer have your data bars or 3g icon. You will be able to viusal see the issue. It is not like you just try to connect to the internet and can't.

That is why I do not believe a lot of people on stock that reported the issue actually know what the issue is and if their data might had stopped workig they think they got the LOS issue.

I did not have the issue while running stock. I rooted and got it 2x in 2 days. Didn't realize what people were actually talking about until I saw it myself. I am receiving my exchange tomorrow and will see if it happens on stock which I am betting it does not....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zachslavin:
I believe the 14 day return policy that was implemented a few weeks ago pertains to Sprint not wanting to deal with a handful of returns due to the iphone release on Sprint. Though I can't blame them, it looks like they are going to have a bunch anyway. Lol

On a second note, I have complete faith that our awesome dev's will fix the LOS issue. Maybe before Sprint.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
Who in there right mind would drop the SGS2 for an iPhone anyway. 3.5" screen, need I say more.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dj21o:
Yeah man, a 3.5" screen bumps me back to my HTC Hero. How do people text, let alone surf the web with their nose pushed against the screen. Sorry, but the iPhone is a no no lol.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dj21o:
LOS should get fixed within a week to 2 weeks they have said. I don't remember where I saw it, some forum website.

I'm just keeping root with no CWM. Works perfectly fine for me lol.

I know what the issue is and what it looks like and have gotten it on a stock, unrooted phone.

Thanks a lot. Can happily report that I have never had the issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bielinsk:
I am working with a Sprint rep and they are not aware of this problem. She advised me to go into a Corp store so they can troubleshoot the issue.

Don't know how they are going to troubleshoot something that I can in no way reproduce.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dallastx:
You have sprint call centers and contract call centers. The goal of a technical agent is to get off the phone in around 8 minutes. Tier 2 has about 13 min. Sprint knows the issue exist but a rep is not going to trouble shoot what they can't fix. Also less credits/money they give the more money they get on bonus checks. Its part of there monthly goal metrics to not give credits. If you want to complain, the only person you should speak with is rentetions. They at least will keep giving you credits. So dont waste your time calling sprint. Also what they have been told is to tell cust is to reboot the phone. Also I forgot you can get results from esculating the issue to Dan Hessey. President. Sprint will try there best to not get you to the presidential esculation team. Calling back hurts employees metrics. You call enough you will be advanced to esculation team who handles the calls for Dan. Also when I say results of course they can't fix a manufacturer defect but offer larger incentives to stay with sprint. Also tell them "you cannot continue to sell a product that is defective."

Feel free to copy paste this around the globe. I dont care as I want people to get results not BS. Once the iPhone comes this issue will be over shadowed with tech calls about slow 3g service. Not as simple as telling the cust to switch to 4g as the phone as we know wont have wimax.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AVakil:
Here's what I did:

1) On the 14th day, I requested a return kit. This takes 3-5 business days to get to my house.

2) I have 35 days from when I requested the kit to package it back up and send it back.

3) If I decide to keep it I have to call Sprint and tell them that I want to keep it. If I don't call them, I am charged $200.

I did this because I wanted to buy time for the Nexus Prime in case it made its way to sprint
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cachorropedorro:
I got mine at bestbuy. If the los issues are still unresolved by that time, I'll return it and either get the iPhone 4 or the photon with its horrid pentile screen. I love this phone but it's worthless to me as a phone if it can't reliably be a phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zachslavin:
I agree, I just came from the Hero and I'm in Android heaven right now, but Sprint has put all their eggs in one basket with the iPhone (from what I have read) and they assume that everyone and their mama is going to want an iphone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ecliptical:
Took it to the local sprint store and returned it no problem. No mention of 14-day return policy, nothing. Tried to charge me restocking fee, but talked my way out of that one too. Good luck to everyone else, I really wanted to love this phone!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dj21o:
I'm sure if you complain to the right people, they will offer you another model of a phone. And just let you return the GSII. Samsung will get it fixed within a couple of weeks. If not, I'm going into a Sprint store and asking for a different phone. Probably the photon.

The iPhone, well, is just an iPhone lol.

Restocking fees only apply to exchanges only. So glad you didn't give them your money.

Mine goes back to walmart im going to get the att one or wait for nexus. With single person plans sprint is not.cheaper. I can just use wifi and stay below 2gb. Studentrate also promises discounts and sprint knows nothing about it. Att has student discounts and doesnt lie about it.. Maybe c some of u at another loc.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
That's too bad. I know two people who have discounts through Studentrate.

You'll have to let us know if there is a LOS bug on the AT&T version!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
At&t SGSII wasn't to bad. Sprints is better in my opinion. They have a smalller screen and a lot more bloatware stock. I know that root can get rid of the bloatware but I like the bigger screen.

[GT540 Optimus General] suzukah:
When I install a customer Rom like cyanogenmod, do I get my phone automaticlly simple unlocked? If not is there any way I can do it for free?
[GT540 Optimus General] Quinny899:
No and no. There is no simple way or free way
[GT540 Optimus General] zzsomebody:
No, installing another rom does not automatically unlock it for you.

You first need to Root your phone by using z4root.1.3.0.apk on your handset and then do a procedure which may differ from phone unlock or sim unlock whatever yours may be. (do a search for that)

It is not hard but the first step is to find the Root my GT540 method but you just need to get a code which some folks sell, or can generate for you.

Here is the method,

Step 1. Make your LG GT540 Android Phone in Standby mood.

Step 2. Open the dialer of your LG Optimus GT540.

Step 3. Input 2945#*540# and press send.

Step 4. Input the provided unlock code. (provided by where ever)

Step 5. Click Unlock.

So, back to the code, I cant remember where or how I done mine as it was long ago (so it feels anyway).
[GT540 Optimus General] suzukah:
Hahahaha, wow I really don't like this phone. Having to pay for the unlock code sucks, hahaha. I have an HTC Inspire 4G and all I did was to downgrade the Radio and Kernel to a custome one, that gave me access to set the carriers' Radio S-OFF, unlocking my phone. But anyway, is good to know that not all android phones work the same way.

Thank you very much for your answers. At the end I payed $14.95 that was the cheapest code I found, and they deliver it in 2 hours.

Thank you zzsomebody for giving me the steps to activate the code. Also thank you Quinny899 for your fast response, and for opening my eyes on this.
[GT540 Optimus General] effortless.:
No, you don't need to root to unlock your phone-.-
[GT540 Optimus General] saber_tooth:
There is no such thing as a free lunch, sadly..
[GT540 Optimus General] wingrime:
lock not in rom, lock in AMSS(radio)this part run in separated core (arm7 -- yes you phone have 2 cores)
[GT540 Optimus General] DRDRoald:
If you are reffering to NETWORK LOCK, sorry dear company provider is not that stupid just to leave their pre-tied phone easily hacked to make sure they make money out of you.

I agree with the to core virtue: its just more like a BIOS of our phone.

And by the way these pre-tied phones are a little bit cheaper than unlock phone so please don't blame the unit.

[Captivate General] F1reEng1neRed:
Ok guys, credit for this goes to GreenSGS over at the I9000 forum, but he came up with a quick fix beyond having to create a static connection to your router. I'm not even sure why this works or if it will work with every router, but it did with his and mine (Belkin routers).

Go into your router settings and change your DHCP lease time to something other than forever (if you have that option). It's set to forever by default in our Belkins. We changed ours to 2 weeks, and after applying the setting and automatic router reboot, BAM, no more constant wifi disconnects.

It worked for us, so I figured it might work for others. I can finally use some I9000JVS ROMS without having to put up with the wifi issue. Good luck!

Just to keep this thread updated, the following guide will help with getting a rooted 3.2.1 x00m when you do not own an sd card.

If not on the US version (which I wasn't) and stuck on version 3.1, simply download the US firmware and flash it taking the x00m back to stock 3.0.1, then use the inbuilt Android OS updater (in settings) get to 3.2.1, then proceed as normal with the guide:

w00t, 3.2.1 r00ted.

Also, learning ADB is very useful :)

i got a new non official battery for my atrix its 1800mah...

it charges to 100% but drops to 5% in a matter of hours of light browsing and a few games...the thing is it stays @ 5% for a long time, my battery was on 15 hours and it was @ 5% for about 12 hours

ive tried to calibrate it, but im not sure if it does it right, i downloaded a battery widget that says i have not calibrated it yet...this is not my first android as ive had plenty but this is the first phone that the battery has acted like this

also i actually have got 2 of those batterys but 1 doesnt catch charge i put it on the phone and the charge screens show 5% and charging but then stops charging after a few minutes and doesnt have enough juice to turn the phone on

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghost_og:
Just so you know, the jug6ernaut files are actually what fixes a known battery jump issue with GB. So even if you successfully recalibrate your battery it will most likely still jump around whenever you reboot your phone. For example, you may reboot at 90%, and when it restarts all of a sudden it's showing 100%.
