I just got my first LOS today when I was taking a nap and over 30% of my battery dropped in a hour! I'm usually at 2.3% a hour when my phones sleeping but now I understand why people are returning phones amd getting so upset. If this continued to happen to me as often as I happens to some other people id fo nuts!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boe:
I returned the EVO 3D because the phone kept dropping calls and the voice quality was wretched. My clients often had me repeat myself on that phone which hasn't happened yet on the ET4G. Both Sprint, I work in the same areas so it had to be the 3D. I exchanged it twice in different places in case one state got a bad batch. All 3 sucked.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] redram38:
This is kinda like being an alcoholic, First they have to admit there is a problem.

But all kidding aside, I have not had one single issue with this phone except I dropped it in the toilet :-) I was just glad when I reached in to grab it I came out with the phone. Best buy replaced it and the new one is doing ok also. I have had the phone right at one month. No root just stock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spencer88:
I saw your comment on Engadget about what to improve on the Evo 3D :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I really feel bad for those having problems. I purposely went into a dead zone (using stock kernel) and the signal reconnected in 3 seconds without a reboot. My phone has been flawless. Hope an update fixes people up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] THAD LOVELACE:
I luv this phone!

I've also had HTC devices exclusively, (2006)

But straight out the box, I got much Love for this phone hands down the best!

S.G.SII.E.4G.T and this community, Samsung can keep there update's

I'm just fine, I think this device is going to get I.C.S and a lot more goodies

before XDA developers close the book on this phone, have you look at the things

coming out on the original EVO (a very popular phone in this community)

lately that thing is sick, I see myself holding on to this phone for a year or

more and that a long time in cell phone year's :)

Gotta say i agree, My EVO met its demise towards the end of august-mid september and there weren't too many new ROMs. As soon as I got my ET4G the dev community over there pumped some steroids into that thing.

This ROM in particular. Mind. Blown.

There are some issues with this phone that need to be addressed, and we also need the latest version of 2.3 on our devices, as well as prep for ICS.

My biggest thing is the weak signal and I've never had a device that wanted to roam so much. I love the phone but hopefully SAMSUNG starts showing support for their devices, and I don't care what people say, Sprint has little to do with the updates getting out there. SAMSUNG can't even get the EPIC 4G 2.3 because of the bugs that still exist.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] doughal:
I can't believe no one is talking about the issue with wired headset buttons not working. That is a major issue to me and drives me nuts. I'm totally addicted to the convenience of being able to touch a button on my headphones to answer the phone or play/pause my music. The ATT version of the phone works just fine. Now this is an update I want badly!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ssconceptz:
I think headset buttons not working is an issue with your headset. Personally I have a Bluetooth. I didn't get a headset with mine either.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NickDG:
I think we will see more timely updates with the Galaxy S II line of phones in the US because they are much closer to the European version of the phone. The first Galaxy S phone on the US carriers were changed so much from the original, testing was probably a nightmare.

I have no doubt we will see ICS on this phone.

As far as bugs go, I bought the phone on launch day, moving from an Epic 4G. This phone is by far the best gadget I have ever owned. I don't have many problems and I haven't seen the LOS problem. I do see the weak wifi signal problem, but it doesn't seem to affect the connection speed. Hopefully Samsung can update the radio firmware for wifi and boost the power a bit. Since battery life is great I don't think it will be a problem to use a bit more power.

Not sure about that particular dialer code (think it clears NVRAM) but as soon as you get home with phone, call Sprint to make sure they didn't do a rush activation (mine said "Network : unknown) and update Profile and PRL so you are using closest cell towers to your home. Tech recommended doing this once a month because of constant ongoing tower improvements/additions

2 suggestions

Sorry you got one of the sick E4GTs. Have you tried installing any of the Starburst ROMs created by PhantomHacker? I'm running his V1.8 which has made this the best smartphone I've ever had (even surpassing my Nexus One running CM7).

Secondly, you might want to join us on my REWARD thread or at least monitor it because we already have PhantomHacker working on ICS for us. :)

100% Agreed! Please add games crashing on your list.

WTF would I need specs for???? To F'n scroll between screens? Or do benchmark tests all day? NO, it's so it could handle games and heavy apps better. People blaming "dual core", is false... My wife's Evo3D never crashes.

Before getting this phone, I did research on sammy and looked like they're laggers, still crossed my fingers and got it. Looks like samsung is living up to its negative reputation!

In order words, I'm pissed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ssconceptz:
Trust me I've owned both EVO3D and E4GT and the E4GT runs circles around my old 3D. That thing wasn't a powerhouse by any means. I just got this phone and the E4GT has never crashed on gaming, and has never had issues or random reboots. For the people with issues you may just have a bad device. If your having these issues after root, that's on you.

With that said this is a new device, be patient. I know SAMSUNG is the worst, and never support the devices. Android is trying to change that for us by making manufacturers contractually obligated to keep devices up to date with the latest Android version for at least 12-13 months. I still got the device knowing SAMSUNGS history of no support. I think we could partially blame Sprint as well. All in all the two need to work together or say screw sprint and make your customers happy with updates through Kies.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MadFlava:
Its ridiculous that we as consumers keep taking it up the butt for Sprint and their inability to release a stable phone. Why should we have to pay for a crappy phone with crappy service? They get our money and we're stuck because we're locked into a contract for years and they know it.

Im going to call tomorrow and ask for something, I dont know what. Possibly my upgrade back.. I dont know. But Im sure Im not going to get it so at that point, Im going to file a complaint with the attorney general in Sprint's home state. I suggest everyone else do the same.

From a consumer standpoint, we are getting taken for a ride by Sprint and if enough people complain, the AG will lean on them. The whole cell phone industry is unfair to consumers and its about time we did something about that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
Sprint isn't releasing unstable phones, Samsung is releasing unstable phones that Sprint sells...I guess.

My Hero was stable...my Evo4G was stable...my Evo3D was mostly stable...my NexusS4G was very stable...my Epic Touch is very stable...though sometimes I get an LOS....the phone is stable as hell though. The signal not so much...

Samsung has really gotta get it's **** together in regard to their radios. I've had Samsung flip phones...no problems, rock solid devices. Sure, this is a whole new ballgame, but, they could do it.

Though I'm not so sure this is a Samsung thing this generation. The NS4G was pretty weak, my Evo3D was very weak...frankly, aside from the very occasional LOS My ET4G is the strongest of the 3. I hear the photon even gets LOS...sure, it could be Sprint, but I got LOS on Verizon/Alltel 00001.PRL with full bars the other day.

I don't think we have enough details to accurately point blame, but, something is definitely up this generation...Perhaps it's easy to want to blame Samsung because of past experience...I had a Moment, lets not even get into that...but something is definitely going on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Alex1x:
I don't blame sprint for these problems... I think it's samsung.

IMO, Sprint has the best price for what they offer. Service is based on your location.

I think Samsung is too focused on racing new hardware to market and are probably under staffed with developing and improving their current models. Since most manufacturers are applying their own skin on to of android to distinguish their line (creating long delay to android update), no one is creating vanilla android... I say at this point vanilla is rare (exception to nexus line). If I were Samsung, I let consumers choose between skin phone and vanilla (edge to vanilla to get immediate update) and release two versions for each hardware...

PS. I don't use any of touch wiz anyway...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dj21o:
I am kind of irritated with this phone. I get LOS out of the box, and thank god for the devs here, because it cut it down dramatically. The picture quality is good, but when you send it in an MMS, it looks like ****. But other than that, it is great. Huge screen, fast, kick ass display (colors, etc). And my wifi is much better. I can get it from farther away in my house than my EVO could. This is way better than a WP7 or iPhone.

I can't wait to get ICS on here. :X

Good thing the iPhone doesn't have a bigger screen or I would probably leave. I don't have LOS but I have other hardware issues and I am afraid to swap my phone because I am worried about getting LOS!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Itchiee:
Luckily I don't have LOS, it started to but an MSL reactivation fixed it on both my phones over a month ago. What I do suffer from are GPS issues.... When the phone is rebooted the GPS cannot lock any quicker but at some point, I can only assume, the GPS radio shuts down and won't wake back up. I was thinking of going to see about a replacement but I don't want a replacement with real issues like not being able to make or receive calls. Other then this issue, and the Sprint network being choked in some places this phone has been great. Its fast, takes nice pictures, and has great battery life.... I hope they can fix these issues someday.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
Download GPS Test from the market and clear AGPS data and such with the app. You should be good after that. My GPS locks quickly now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] poppygt:
GPS fix is an app that won't let your GPS sleep till it locks even if you exit the app. It's come in handy on past devices.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Itchiee:
I've tried this and it doesn't seem to work after awhile and have to reboot the phone, thanks for the suggestion though. I'm gonna try gps fix to see what happens, thank you too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MadFlava:
Thats irrelevant. Sprint sold it. Sprint knows there is an issue and we're still being charged full price for a phone that very well may never work right. Sicking the AG on Sprint might result in Sprint leaning on Samsung. Either way, it will make me feel better.

Problem is, this happens ALL THE TIME in the cell phone industry. Sometimes they fix the issue, sometimes they dont but who pays in the end? We do.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wingzfan:
Reeeeally. So since I didnt get any LOS till about 3 weeks in and since Sprint decided to acknowledge the issue about 4 weeks in and decide to say "yeah we see it but ya know what, you can wait a couple months to get the fix" and since customer service decided to send me to a "teir 3" tech to assure me new towers would be going up to resolve crappy service and 4g was here to stay otherwise they wouldnt sell a 4g phone then announce 3 weeks after this p.o.s. phone released that oh yeah screw 4g we're goin LTE but wait...not for a year and a half, oh and while we're at it screw the premeir plan, return policy, etf fees and the customer.

F your 14 day window bs. Sprints service is total crap, phones have been total crap lately and lately even theyre "award winning customer service" has become total crap.

Instead of it being "The Now Network" they should try "The maybe well give you the service you actually pay for and that we promised, but then again maybe we wont network"

My 2 epics cover my etf's and my daughters nexus covers whats left on her contract. As soon as I decide to dish out 350 on my wifes line this crap goes on craigslist and Im out.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TooSlo:
In any other industry this would be a show-stopping bug. To write it off as "not a big deal" when a company can't provide service that's being paid for, nor are they willing to have any flexibility for people experiencing these issues is unacceptable.

Essentially what you're saying is that anyone who relies on their phone can't be an early-adopter. That's about the biggest piece of BS I've ever heard. Quit being an apologist for the cell industry.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xTMFxOffshore:
The have to support them for 18 months actually.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
True since they signed an agreement with Google for updates they do have to do that but at the same time It does not say how long it has to take them to put those updates out also.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TooSlo:
You may recall that Apple/ATT also stepped up and provided cases for everyone who requested them.

If Samsung/Sprint were willing/able to provide a solution that allowed me to rely on my device, I would be fine waiting until a software patch comes out. Unfortunately Sprint and Samsung denied there was a problem for an extended period of time, and now Sprint is trying to wash their hands of the situation by saying that it's not their network that's the problem, but the company who produced the phone. That's 100% unacceptable as a consumer, and I'm now sure that I will never buy another Samsung mobile device, regardless of how amazing it looks/specs at. (I'm looking at you Nexus Galaxy)

I'm finding myself in the same situation as many other customers, deciding how I want to go forward. I'll probably end up taking the offer retentions has provided in waving my ETF and either porting my line to another provider or just opening another line with either a 4S or E3D. I can get both unlimited data and my fantastic corp discount (23% on all services) as well as waived activation/upgrade fees.

Since I paid somewhere between full retail and upgrade cost, I'm still upside down a bit even after if I were to be able to sell my phone for ~$350, which may be a stretch in this phone market. At least I'll be able to recoup my costs (mostly) and get into a new phone that reliably receives phone calls.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] poppygt:
So have you guys flashed the stock pulled kernel and are still getting massive LOS? I mean I have yet to read of that being a total failure and it only takes a few minutes to do. This is Xda so I would assume that everyone still having issues has tried all the known fixes but I never see it in people's posts. Now I'll be the first to agree that no one should HAVE to flash anything just to make their phones work, but when there's a solution that's worked for others why not try it? Also if you have tried the various kernels that claim to fix LOS and they haven't worked then you need to let others know in their respective threads.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wingzfan:
I havent and the only reason why is the binary counter. I dont have nor feel like buying a jig and knowing my luck sprint wont return or exchange my phone cuz Ill get the one guy who looks at the counter,
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TooSlo:
Yes, regardless of the kernel/ROM that I'm running, I still experience the LOS issue. I was completely stock when I went to return my phone and lost service in a Sprint store.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] poppygt:
And on the Stock Pulled Kernel you had to reboot to get service back? Just asking again because I've read through most of the posts in that thread and I never saw an instance of people still having true LOS. I'm not flaming you or calling you a liar at all so please don't take it that way. I'm just making sure we consider LOS to be the same thing and making sure I'm not giving bad advice to new people in the forums.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dj21o:
Try all of the Lost kernels. Some gave me los, some didn't at all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xTMFxOffshore:
This is also true.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wingzfan:
I actually have a video on my phone that I took on the stock rom and kernel without root and cwm during LOS. I had to reboot the phone to get anything back but during the red circle of death I received a text. Couldnt restore service or call anyone but a text came through.

Problem with the video is its 350megs. Not sure where to post it that'll allow that big of a file.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TooSlo:
I can understand your skepticism. After a fresh flash, I went to the Sprint store in anticipation of returning my device. When I got there I had been explaining my service issues, and used a phone in the store to try calling my personal device. During this time I still showed service (3G and 4G both) and the phone rang and went straight to VM. Attempted the same again with the screen on with the same result.

Within 10 minutes of that, I got the circle in my notification bar. During this time I was unable to send/receive text messages as well.

Hopefully this helps clear up what I was experiencing in the Sprint store? If you need any more clarification, I'm happy to do so.

After a reboot of the device, it connected normally and received phone calls and SMS messages with the screen both off and on.

This was without a single Google Market application installed. My phone came with the EG30 baseband, and I haven't needed to flash the older version that's floating around the forums. (I forgot the number offhand)

I'm currently using one of the LoSt kernels and I'm still losing service regularly, every 2-3 hours this will happen. It's frustrating as all hell.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Alex1x:
I agree with you to an extent but you do realize Nexus Galaxy is also manufactured by Samsung?

I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping this problem is due to Touch Wiz, not Samsung hardware...
