[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 00Soul:
Wow, media coverage, actual recognition of a serious fcking problem from an executive and a pledge to do something about it. As an E4GT owner this doesn't make me feel like a 2nd class customer at all, not one bit.

http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-20129291-94/sprint-were-taking-the-iphone-4s-speed-issue-seriously/

My brother is on Sprint and in need of a new phone. Tell me why I had difficulty recommending he get an E4GT over an iPhone 4S? If I told him he should get an E4GT and he ended up with the LOS bs, OS battery drain issues, game app crashes that I have (not to mention that our speeds are just as ****ty ans the iPhone 4s's), I'd feel like an assh@le.

I'm new to Android, never had an iPhone and I generally dislike "iPhone people" and their undeserved product elitism so I'm not going anywhere. Still (and quite sadly), I couldn't wholeheartedly recommend the E4GT.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LoveisPeace2012:
I had an iPhone 4s it has real battery issues I had to charge twice a day sold it for 680 and bought a epic touch for 3+ bills . And it lasts all day, they are both good phones iPhone OS is very smooth but the screen was tiny, even my gf chose her nexus over it, I'm not a fanboy of either. IPhone has better apps and stability. Android requires a learning curve some just don't want or care for but everyone has a choice no need to be haters

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
I hope Sprint is just playing dumb and that they really know all there phones are getting crappy speeds on their network. It's the network not the phone.....

Seriously, every mobile website should post tests of Sprints 3G speeds throughout their whole line of phones and really put this info out there already. Maybe we needed the iPhone to get Sprint's ass moving but speeds have been terrible way before the iPhone hit so I hope people don't believe the iPhone ruined the network.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
He may be referring to the fact that the signal meter has, historically, been a measure of 2G CDMA signal strength which would have nothing to do with your 3G signal strength.

I don't know if they still do it this way since 3G is used more often than 2G it seems these days...but I know my Evo4G's stock meter was 2G.

Not to mention a clogged up overburdened tower ain't gunna do **** for you, perfect signal or not.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
All I'm trying to say is, who cares if it's the iPhone that pushes Sprint to fix the network quicker, as long as we get it fixed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boominz28:
I understand getting butt hurt because it feels like yea were second class next to Iphone,, but the Iphone has more exposure and if its showing the slow data speed and gets it fixed I don't really care. and really neither should anyone else.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rruss:
What bugs me the most is they are giving so much attention to the iphones SLOW data connection but none to the ept4g NO data connection
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iSaint:
What bothers me is that they are giving the iPhone attention.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
I think people are bothered that sprint cares so much about their iPhone users which will be around 1 million they say, but what about the other 19 million Sprint users who have had slow data speeds on non iPhone devices.

Non iPhone users still outnumber the amount of iPhone users on Sprint. Sure it's great that they will fix their network just for the iLosers but it still makes the rest of us feel like Sprint don't give a hoot. If all of Sprints Android users left, it would certainly out number the amount of iPhone users.

Maybe we all just need to buy an iPhone and keep it as backup so if we have any problems, we just hook the iPhone up on the line, then call Sprint so will actually care about our complaint.

Lol just crazy enough to work
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 00Soul:
Totally missing the point here man.

Exactly. Fixing iPhones slow data probably isn't going to do a damn thing for our LOS, and definitely won't have anything to do with E4GT OS battery drain or any other issues we are mostly all plagued with.

At best we might get improved data speeds because of iPhone, while all of our other issues probably get even less attention because of it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boominz28:
actually no I'm not missing the point I understand it, but who's voice it the loudest, the Iphone is. not ours. but I don't care who they listen to as long as they listen
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LordLugard:
Best solution, vote with your pocket, dump the Epic Touch (like i did). Return it enough and they'll get the hint.

I mean seriously, this phone is supposed to be their flagship device and like someone else mentioned, i'll have egg all over my face if i recommended it to friends or even foes and the damm thing dies in 6 hrs stuck in a LoS orgy. These phones are getting too expensive to be dealing with this rubbish. Went back to my NS4G and i'm just fine, battery lasts the day with everything pushing, pooling and syncing like i want, no LoS, no Android OS or WiFi drain.

All the dual core jizz-worthy specs are worth nothing if i'm spending all day babying the phone, checking if i've lost service e.t.c. Gets tiring and old after the 50th time.

As for Sprint's crappy 3G service of late, all i can say is i spit on their grave, seriously.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dj21o:
After running the Lost kernel, I'm not getting a hint of Los. And my phone is lasting for 5 hours display time. I'm not too sure what people are smoking when they say this phone has bad battery life. The iPhone is a joke. Be grateful for this amazing phone and try what the Devs have posted here. I got LOS all the time, and I get none now.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tx_dbs_tx:
That's the absolute truth.

This is fact regardless of tbe number of bars visible on your phone, 3G data is affected in weak signal situations. Period.

This irritates the hell out of me too. We've all been reporting TERRIBLE AND PATHETIC 3G data speeds for at least a year now. Sprint has yet to make a public announcement or any acknowledgement of piss poor 3G, let alone 4G. Im soooooooo ready to go back to Verizon and I'd be more than happy to pay more for 3G that actually works. To be able to load google.com in under a minute or play a 3 minute youtube video in under 30 minutes would be wonderful to say tbe least!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wingzfan:
After talking to a rep (no not a customer service rep a corporate rep) the main reason Sprint noticed the complaints about speed is ALOT of at&t and verizon customers came on board for the iPhone and price savings sprint offered. Problem is once they got here they realized how crappy Sprints service is and alot cancelled and alot more complained. Apple wont put up with an inferior network running their equipment.

I personally dumped the ET4G and went with the 4S simply for the fact that Samsungs build quality, update/patch time table and flat out history of crap phones made me disgusted with the ET4G. I love android but the current phones are either crap quality or dated. iOS isnt remotely as good as the customization in android but the stability of the phone and features more than makes up for it, the phone just works. As for the battery, I got 27 hours with 6 1/2 hours on time on a single charge. I wouldnt say thats crappy in the least. Then add that in the same place the ET4G went into roaming on my desk is the same place the 4S has 4 of 5 bars, Im satisfied.

Never owned any apple products except for an ipod classic but I wouldnt be bagging on a product that is currently making Samsungs top of the line product look like a fool.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tx_dbs_tx:
Worst cellphone radio i've ever seen!

I've confirmed that the Epic 4G Touch's radio is pure JUNK! I have done real world tests and comparisons with mine and my wife's EVO 4G and both of our original EVO's hold a MUCH better signal.

I'm on my second brand new Epic 4G Touch and it does the exact same thing as the first... LOS and zero bars in areas of good coverage. Untouched, never rooted and straight out of the box garbage reception. The signal bars go from full bars to none for absolutely no apparent reason. 3G data is pathetic to say the least. If i climb the nearest Sprint tower I might be able to use the E4GT as it's intended to be used.

So today I reactivated my original EVO 4G and I get decent usable 3G AND 4G. What does this tell me? Read my first sentence again. I love the Epic 4G Touch but I hate that it simply has a JUNK radio onboard!!! There's no way in my life that i'm going to be stuck with this crap phone for 20 months until i'm eligible for another upgrade 9due to Sprint changing the upgrade policy recently).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bigjim1488:
I can't stand that sprint has such terrible service. Sprint is killing me, i can't even load YouTube videos at all. Always getting .200k speeds and roaming a lot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
Come over to the dark side. Find 00001.PRL, install that and enjoy Verizon's 3G speeds. The only drawback is that if Sprint doesn't like it they will (forcefully) let you out of your contract for free.

As I've said before, if Sprint complains Verizon here I come...if they don't Verizon here I stay.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 00Soul:
How long did you have your ET4G? I got mine a couple of days after launch so it's too late for me to swap it now without it costing me $$$$.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wingzfan:
First one I got was 10am on launch day, had to swap that one out 4 days later. I ended up finding a guy on craigslist that was gonna buy the ET4G so instead he bought the iPhone and I gave him my ET4G and took the iPhone.

The next day I got a call from corporate due to the email I sent and found out that if you complain enough they'll do a one time contract reset. The way I explained it was I could sell my phone to cover the ETF fees and leave Sprint. Once they realized I was serious the offers began to pour in. Know this though, if you ask for another phone they'll offer you a samsung transform or a blackberry, I took those offers as insulting as possible.

A) Because there's not a damn thing you can do to stop me from being here and knowing now that it irritates you Ill stick around.

B) Because I still have an ET4G on my account on another line and until I find a good trade for it Ill be following development the same as I always have.

That answered nothing. Go to the iphone altar forum and stfu
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wingzfan:
You sure?

See you asked "if you traded in the ET4G what the F am I doing here?"

I then answered by explaining pretty bluntly that partially because it bothers you so much and mainly because I still own an ET4G. See how that works big guy? I own a device that is supported in this forum, therefor I frequent said forum to get information on that device.

Want me to slow it down a bit for ya?

sprints network is really bad in some places, I just moved and over here in northern california the sprint network is slow as hell. I cant even hit 100kb at home with my gs2, at work where it is suppose to be faster, I have never hit over 500kb. I connect to 4g at home and I still cant even hit 1mb. I went to best buy and the guy told me that area here is full of sprint customers and very congested. Sprint tech told me that towers closer to my house are suppose to get EVDO rev upgrade and I haven't heard back from him for over a week now.

Network vision cant be done any faster.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] heygrl:
umm.. no.. they haven't been upgrading anything for a year now, if they spent a year upgrading to Network Vision and this is where they got (100-300Kbps), that's just real sad now isn't it? They spent a year talking about it, and they still need more money to complete their network modernization plans.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
...

Why don't you produce a link that backs up what you're saying then?

Those speeds are because Network Vision is not complete, it is still being worked on and will take until 2013 to complete.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
I did not mean to hit thanks.

Where in that article or anywhere do you get that Sprint "hasn't been updating anything" because they don't have the funds?

(Which was your claim)

Whether they had to borrow the money or not has no barring on the fact they started this project over a year ago and it won't be completely done for all until 2013.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] heygrl:
Are you blind? First of all Network Vision has not been underway for a year. No actual upgrades have taken place until maybe the last few months. You have no proof otherwise, I'm going by what Sprint has said. I said they CAN'T go forward with network modernization without all of the money in place.

If you don't have the money to go above and beyond, you CAN'T do anything outside of what you would normally do. They spend money on the network every year, besides them lying about not having the equipment due to shortages..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
Yes, they have.

You have to understand that this is a long process.

Rebuilding a network completely, adding backhaul etc is not an instant process.

It takes years.

(A perfect example would be Verizon's LTE. They started that back in 2008!)

Sprint announced last year they were starting Network Vision.

http://newsroom.sprint.com/news/sprint-announces-network-vision-network-evolution-plan.htm

Which was to be completed in five years. 2010 + 5 = 2015.

Now, if you read even the article you posted you would see that it was accelerated from 5 years to 3 years. 2010 + 3 = 2013.

Hesse said himself they're borrowing the money.

You've provided nothing that shows they are having issues borrowing the money or anything to indicate a slow down in the Network Vision plan. (You actually posted something that shows an acceleration in that plan)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fireitup:
Actually you CAN do whatever you want outside of the norm, by borrowing money to accomplish your goals. Which seems to be what Sprint is doing...

I dont have any scope other than the links that were provided in this thread, but borrowing money is an integral part of alot of business success stories these days.

Hope for the best, and that sprint is able to pay back their loans. Otherwise we are all screwed.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ophois:
All this means is that any non iPhone user will see slower speeds as they watch their friend with an iPhone get great speeds. They'll throttle all other devices to make the iPhone look good and appease apple so they can keep selling the iPhone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] choyt2011:
I've been with Sprint for almost 4 years now..havn't had much of a problem with them. 3G data speeds have been decent for the most part.....since that is the Iphone came to Sprint. Since then the speeds have gone down the crapper. I know your all probably thinking, whatever it's not the iphone thats causing it...but I will tell you this...I have had the HTC Touch Pro, Touch Pro 2, Evo 4G and now the Epic Touch...and since the release of the Iphone my 3G data speeds went to 600kb to under 100kb down. Basically I believe that Sprint under estimated how much network bandwidth the Iphone and every other cellular device was going to eat up. If you go to network.sprint.com you will notice that Sprint is upgrading tower like mad pretty much everywhere to support the load that they didn't expect.

I really can't stand everyone ***** about network speeds...when out of all the carriers out there Sprint offer the best min to cost ratio...7pm nights and weekends, unlimited data...unlimited txt msging to any network for less than everyone out there cost wise. I've been with Verizon and can tell you I'm alot happier with Sprint that I ever ways with Verizon.

After 4 months of dealing with reps at the corporate offices I am finally Sprint free with no ETF.

Got my phone call today and got my line cancelled. Switched to AT&T and my god what a difference. First speed test was 5.85mb/sec on 3G, lowest Ive hit was 2.62. Difference in my bill is $11 bucks after work discount.

The final nail in the coffin was my GPS wouldnt run because my data speed with full signal was a whole 7kbps. Missed a meeting driving around for 45 minutes looking for the address.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeTF:
So, I just noticed that my original charger overheats so much it's basically a fire hazard (the thing smells a bit like melted plastic, and I kept it near bed...).

Quick pre-check question: Is that normal?

Nevertheless, I'm thinking about returning it to store, but that will leave me with no charger for up to 4 weeks (if the shop won't give me temporary replacement, which they probably won't, since they have no obligation to do so) and charger kit they sell on asus webpage is basically crazy-expensive (especially if you take it in mind, that it's their fault that I will be needed an extra charger).

So - how can I hack together cheap and quick alternative? Probably have few random chargers lying around the flat and can always borrow more junk from friends. So, how do I build my own? Or maybe there are already dirt cheap alternatives available somewhere?
