If you would have read on, you have seen that I acknowledge it as known issue.

You can't say things like " i think almost everyone is having this issue", when this is false. I have had not 1 call on this, didn't hear of it till this thread. Ppl call tech for everything and for me to not get 1 call, this can't be that big; also the known issue doc lists minimal reports.

Resonable approach, how ever based on what others above have said...I would try again to get my upgrade back.

Corp lover....nice. Sorry guys, came in here to shed light, discovered a known issue that I heard nothing about previously, and voiced an opinion on the matter. If you request your money for LOS, your upgrade, or a replacement...cool. Just saying, don't say; Oh, there is a problem that is going to be fixed soon. Im going to keep getting money all day till they fix it. That is silly, it sounds like if you keep calling you will eventually get help. I know that sucks but that's the game and i've played it myself. By the way, I live in a poor coverage area and use an airrave. I still have signal with the airave off.

This is a flagship and landmark device, not a TP or TP2...really dude? Im sure they will discover the issue in a resonable timeframe, and if not; you have documented reason to get any of the above stated requests given to you.

Later Days

Why not all three??? The best thing everyone could do is sue them in small claims court. I did that with Cingular one/AT&T. They were trying to collect ETFs on all 4 lines that I wasn't getting what I was paying for and had over 8,000 Minutes banked. Whe they told me I was going to lose all but a months worth if I changed plans, I went to a Sprint store, ported over all four lines then went through two months of harrassment by collection agencies calling me at all hours of the night (after 9 is not allowed) Whe They got the notice from the court that I was suing them for $3000 (The max here in Nebraska) Three days lster, I had a phone cal ffrom the attorneys asking me what they could do for me. I simply told them forgive the ETFs and past due bill and give me $300 cash for the time I had lost filing the small claim, and to fully restore my good credit. I got a check the next day for $300 and a letter appologizing for the harrassment and agreeing to to all the terms we had discussed over the phone. All I had to do was return the release from the suit to them.

Called Sprint today and they gave me a $20 credit for now. The rep I was speaking with said they know about the problem and are working on an update.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MadFlava:
Theyre still trying to discover it? Wow.. yea.. that sure instills a lot of faith in me with Sprint.

Its not like this is the first time this has happened and my rage over this isnt totally isolated to this phone. Look at all the fiascos with Apple and the iPhone. Look at the original Nexus One and the antenna problem if you covered the phone with your hand (I had one of those and it was a legit issue), the Samsung Moment took how long to get a working GPPS? The original Epic was broken out of the box. The Nexus S had radio issues they tried to disguise with a patch.. see where Im going with this?

Consumers are taking it up the butt from these companies. We're buying defective products that they attempt to fix with patches and most of the stuff cant be fixed via software. It can just be "fixed."

There's no way this issue didnt come up in testing. Its too common and happens everywhere. Sprint knew about this when they shipped the phone and figured they just patch it later and that probably goes for every single defective phone they have shipped.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
How is this a flagship phone? I was under the impression that the OG epic was the flagship. So, every new upgrade to the series is now a flagship? Hmmmz.

I see big similarities to the tp/tp2 scenario. It's just 2 years later. At the time, those were their top tier phones with the best specs and now this series (unless you want iPhone Blech!). There were terrible hardware problems with the first tp and many were fixed with the newer model. The GPS was always a hassle with the OG Epic and that seems to be fixed but, other problems have come up with LOS.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Russ T. Nail:
after numerous calls and getting a replacement phone, they credited me with $40. I pushed for more, but they said they were compensating me for half a months service. I asked if I was still having problems and called back in a month if they would then recoup it then and they said they would consider. I figure i'll call back every month until the problem is fixed.

It is annoying to have these LoS problems, but that money did make it a little less painful. I encourage others who have been frustrated by this to do as many of us have done. If you are paying for a service and not getting what they say you should have in the contract, you shouldn't have to pay full price for it. They are paying for releasing a product that was not fully tested and has flaws and they should be.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lenin1928:
I'm not anti corporate or anti capitalist as it seems some people here are, trying to stick it to the man. But I think this is an incentive to get Sprint in touch with Samsung as quick as possible or whatever and roll out an update that is LONG LONG over due.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squiggie:
I have been working with Sprint for about a month now on this phone! Glad I ran across this thread! I thought it was an issue with my reception as I just moved to a new city. I called Sprint and they sent out an Airave for free to me. I now have full signal in my house. Low and behold, the issue did not go away. Randomly the phone will lose all signal, whether at home or at work (not on the airave) and give me a circle with the slash through it. I have been rebooting my phone 8+ times a day. Everytime I reboot I get bombarded with texts and voicemails. Sprint is offering to send me a different model, but I honestly love this phone (when it works) and nothing else compares to it at this point. Not quite sure what to do, seems I am at a loss until it gets updated or CM7 gets ported to the phone. What a pain in the you know what...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drsteven2:
I called Sprint today and they waive my activation fee $36. They are aware of LOS and said that they are working on a fix.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] poppygt:
Will they let you exchange it for a new Epic Touch? They don't all have the Loss of Service bug. Mine is over a month old and I haven't had LOS once.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dubledose23:
No luck

I have called sprint 4 times about my los issue. Each rep claimed they had no clue what I was talking about. They filed an e ticket and I took my phone to a store. The girl reset my phone and handed it back. I told her I have already done that she just looked at me and said " you are welcome to take it to a different store". Then I call sprint again. The supervisor recommended I buy a phone on craigslist if mine isnt working. So basically I have had no luck getting any credits or my upgrade back!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squiggie:
They said they would send me a refurbed unit. Not accepting that at all. They did give me a $15 credit. I guess that's better than nothing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] poppygt:
Some people have had luck with instore exchanges. If you're close enough to a Sprint corporate store you might be able to get notes put on your account over the phone agreeing to a replacement and then hit up a store and try to luck into a new unit. After owning this phone...I couldn't accept anything less than this level of performance and ease of use. I'd at least give it a shot and try to work a few different angles to get a new unit.

I Just called and explained my LoS issue with 3 or 4 different people. got a credit of 30 or 35 and I pushed for the whole bill to get credited. no go but at least I got 30 or 35 cant remember. The last guy said seeing how much data and talk and messaging I actually do along with the percentage of LoS I've experienced, they will not give me more than that. I can understand... It's only happened a couple times and I teather so I use a lot of data lol. so for me.... This worked. Thanks for starting this thread!! :cool:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wraptor:
I called account services and the lady was very nice and gave me a credit for my line for the month. I'm on a family plan so that was only $19. I told her I want my upgrade back so I could get a different phone until the LOS issues have been resolved. She transferred me to an "escalation manager" named Junior. He said that would be impossible and that they are not responsible for the phone Samsung is. He wouldn't give me his contact info or his last name. He said there was no one above him to talk to. He also said if I called back again it would be harassment. Anyone know of another number or department I can call?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kd0axs:
I'd go into a Sprint store that's a service center and see if you can get a warranty replacement.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] koseiko:
Called yesterday and was on hold for 1 hour after stating my 3g issues, escalations Rep heard my issues and then said he would reset my settings. I alerted that it was done a week ago, he literally said I'm not giving you a new phone, I stated I can also sell this phone and cancel his response was "yeah that's an option" and asked if I wanted to be transferred to cancellations and I said yes. They were great, didn't get upgrade but got a credit initiated from release date until a update is announced. Total time of call 1 hour 55 mins
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 22350:
I have been going through the same thing. Slow data, los, and gps that doesn't work.

I spent almost three hours on three separate calls with sprint. Managed to get 70 bucks out of them.

You know what I really want?

A PHONE THAT JUST WORKS!!

Now they want me to go to the store, liket they will be able to fix something..

My friend just got the new iphone 4s on ATT. He is pulling an average of 3.5mbps down, with equals or beats my "4g"

[Optimus One, P500, V General] fundoozzz:
Guys currently i m on stock GB with francos kernel (2nd October) & want to flash cyanogen 6.5.8....

But it is not compatible with .35 based kernels so is there any way to downgrade to the old kernel other than flashing froyo through kdz....

I searched the whole forum but didn't found anything....

Plz tell me how to proceed??

1. flash baseband

2. flash ROM

3. flash kernel

OR

Any other sequence???
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Alkoor:
Normally, when you'll flash the rom, the kernel will be included in.

Search a bit for threads about baseband.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] fundoozzz:
So which kernel is included in cyanogen????

& does this mean that my kernel will automatically revert back to old after flashing ROM????
[Optimus One, P500, V General] lonerguy:
The only way to use mik OS after flashing any 2.3.3 stock based ROM ( kernel is not the matter here ) other than KDZ is to flash a BASEBAND FIX given in the mik_OS main Thread but I think mobile data is disabled in that FIX. So, I think u're stuck bro without KDZ-ing ! :(
[Optimus One, P500, V General] fundoozzz:
Thanks.... n baseband can be downgraded by LGMDP....

Anyways.. thanks for the help...

Just a quick question about doing a Nandroid backup, I have rooted my Evo 3D using the htc method and installed twrp recovery following a guide in the dev section. From twrp I go to the Nandroid menu and it says Backup Partitions, Just wanted to make sure that was right.

I am not new to rooting in general, but I had the Moment from samsung then switched to the hero that a friend had rooted for me, so I just wanted to make sure I was doing this correctly. Thanks for your help in advance.

I currently have an LG Thrill 4G, honestly I regret getting this phone. Prior to my opinion, is it worth it? I'm serious about it but need some hardcore opinions before rolling the dice. I recently had to complain to my dad about seeing how much the phone screws up battery life, data, etc....

The G2X is ROOTED, I think I may want to UNROOT.

But I've gotta flash from T-Mobile to AT&T. Is this a hard process? Everyone's telling me it's awful simple but I'm quite unaware of how to flash. And he explains it as being quite easy in this message: Text Below.

Months ago when peoples started talking about Nokia N9, I hv been plan to get this phone. It is going to release in my country Malaysia next few days, and today those tech blog posted about Nokia 800 WP phone. I have no idea I should wait, or buy this N9.

N9 has a 1GHz A8 processor and SGX530 GPU, an AMOLED screen and a decent camera and it's a MeeGo OS phone.

800 specs has not revealed yet. It is a WP Mango phone.

I'm little bit confused should I wait the Mango phone or take this MeeGo phone which is open-source so there is 3rd party support, custom kernels and roms.

Any idea guys?

Ah. Gotcha. My bad. Well personaly I would go for the 800. Mango is a really slick update to an already great OS.

Keep in mind though that I have very little experience with MeeGo. Still, MeeGo has always struck me as a low power/functionality OS.
[Droid X General] mj23kb08:
Okay, so the last few days I've been messing around with my phone some. After all of my experimenting I eventually flashed back to my stock Froyo rom, still rooted. I've been using the Netflix app for months with no problem, however now all of a sudden it's not working properly. I keep getting different messages all the time "password incorrect", "make sure time and date settings are correct"...stuff like that. I checked online and I found one message board that was talking about Netflix blocking rooted droid devices (which is odd bc my device has been rooted for months and I've still been using Netflix just fine). This concerned me a lot. However, I did decide to call Netflix's customer service to see what they said the problem was. They told me there was a total outage for Droids across the nation trying to stream Netflix and that I should just wait a few hours before I log back in. This relieved me to some degree, but I'm still concerned about Netflix still not working due to my root (even though I'm back to stock Froyo). Has anyone else experienced any issues like this before?
[Droid X General] vicw:
I've been doing quite a bit of streaming from Netflix lately, usually late in the evening, on my rooted DX, on GB .605, testing to isolate an intermittent streaming issue, now resolved, and I haven't encountered anything like you describe.

That's not to say your issue isn't real, but it doesn't seem that it relates to rooting.
[Droid X General] hootowlserenade:
From what I understand, Netflix won't run on froyo... it never did work on my dx before I ota'ed it to GB... I'm running CM7 on it now and I don't have any issues... recommend that you run anything other than froyo.... maybe try liberty rom or miui or CM7 I think everyone running those roms has no issue with it running... maybe just ota it to GB and it should work...

[Nook Color General] gsutton:
Is there a difference between the /mnt/sdcard and /sdcard locations on my Nook Color? I am thinking the mnt refers to the internal card, and the sdcard refers to the "external" card that we can easily insert. Any comments are welcomed to help me understand the difference, as I am prompted to save downloads to "/mnt/sdcard/". Thank you in advance.
[Nook Color General] skwalas:
No difference. For reasons unknown to me, your sd card is mounted in two different places ("/sdcard" and "/mnt/sdcard"). Also, your internal memory is mounted in two different places ("/emmc" and "/mnt/emmc"). If you use a file manager app (I recommend File Explorer) and look at the contents of either of the duplicated mounts, you will find exactly the same content. Ditto for the usb storage (one under root, and one under /mnt).

Someone better-versed in the guts of Android will need to explain why there are two mount points for every storage location.

edit: i am also assuming you're on CM7. If you're on stock B&N software or rooted, the duplicate mounting points may be handled differently...

Thank you for the rapid reply. I am running rooted stock 1.2, but your comments extend to my device as well. Thank you again.

It is not big problem but really annoying.

Problem seems gone after I back to stock and upgrade to 3.2 with OTA.
[Acer Iconia A500] shaun298:
Running stock 3.1 and have the same problem, sometimes it wakes up and other times it don't. I can try to wake up in 5 min and it may and most times not.

Turning off wifi don't work for me, even when screen goes off in 5 min, it won't come back on.

[Acer Iconia A500] chasmanian:
Different things seem to all work temporarily. I tried changing the wifi policy to always on and that works for a day. Then I'll change the position of the rotation lock and that will work for a day. Then I installed a wifi toggle gadget and turned it off each time I slept the tablet, and that worked for a day. But none of it seems like a permanent fix.
[Acer Iconia A500] tkolev:
Most likely it's a hardware issue. I have my rotation locked on landscape, wifi set to sleep when the screen turns off, running rooted near-stock gen1 3.2 (before that I had the 3.0.1 and 3.1 installed OTA and rooted). Does the tablet switch off while plugged in? If not maybe there is a problem with the battery failing to supply power from time to time.
