I just switched to sprint a few days ago and I am NOT satisfied! I FREAKING LOVE the Epic 4G Touch and it makes me happy to just unlock it and happier when my friends are like WOAH, that's a big phone, WOAH thats a nice screen WOAH its fast <3, but then they open up the facebook app and they're like ehh, this phone sucks. The problem is really with the network. That is atleast what I believe. I live in an area that doesn't have 4G, and NO companies have 4G out here, I was going to go with AT&T, but there was a problem with my credit or something, so I tried Verizon (wasnt really too interested) but they wanted me to fax in papers, then I tried sprint, worked out ALL ok , and I got like the best phone ever, but the 3G speeds make me cry, I just did a speed test and I got average of 15 kb/s down.. Not sure if there is an alternate radio I could use or something, or if other people have the issue, I have been thinking about going back and returning the phone and getting Verizon, but all of their good phones are more than $200 and I might end up owing sprint money. Ideas? Reflections?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iBustCh3rries:
We all know springs network sucks, thanks for reminding us (or at least me) that I'm stuck with this spotty network for 2 years...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
You've been a member here for 2+ years, and you didn't research the Sprint network speed before going with them????

Well, the truth is, in most places their network speed sucks, so, if impressing your friends, and network speed is important to you, you will be sorely disappointed.

If you want the best phone, at the lowest prices, and don't give a damn about network speeds, then you are with the right provider.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] undefined:
Lol, yeah... I was just so excited to actually get signal because I had tmobile then moved to an area where there really wasnt any tmobile and I saw sprint had "3G" coverage went to the store and yeah... I'm kicking myself for not looking around on here. I know that the 4G is **decent** but I miss my damn T-Mobile 4G, it was pretty damn good. If I get enough money and can argue enough, I'm probably switching to verizon. So there might be an Epic 4G Touch for sale soon, and I will have ****ty credit :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
well, the phone is fantastic; for me, I could care less about network speeds. When I need fast internet, I use my home computer..

for email, phone calls, texting, etc, these sucky speeds are fine for me, but, if your phone is your only connection to the internet, Sprint is a tough pill to swallow..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] undefined:
I see, its not completely awful for me, I think that its mainly a few towers in my city that suck because I can get 100 kb/s down sometimes, but 15 kb/s is normal for me. I just have combined ADHD with Facebook addiction and I am just a web junkie, so it kills me sometimes lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
do you have a home computer/faster internet at home, or is this it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asqwrd:
if you want hope sprint is ugrading their network. At least for me this summer - about october my speeds at my house and work and around the area i averaged 200-500 for speed but as of late my speeds have increased greatly and now i average 800-about 1mb and sometimes i can get up to 1.2-1.6 mbps after work hours. My signal strength has also increased and i am seeing 3-4 bars in my house where before i wasnt seeing more than 2. So sprint is working on it and at least for me i am seeing some improvments.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] irev210:
yeah, at least sprint is in the process of upgrading their network. You will see improved speeds in the next year or two.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zilla1000:
If you have access to wifi, that may be an option. The Sprint data speed at my house is pretty low (.. 100K level). However, this phone can get up to 18Mb down via my wireless router through my cable.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AestenD:
True, however what about when your not home? :D The thing that really gets my goat is when I force roam onto Alltel or verizon and get 1mbit+ when on sprint it's usually ~100 kbit.... or worse :/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] undefined:
I have wifi at home, but wifi eats the battery and I dont like being plugged in all the time lol

Thats really good to hear! I hope those upgrades come in my direction! I hope they are realizing that everyone else has upgraded networks and the speeds are sorta competitive. Net speeds is a BIG make or break to me, and verizon is looking awfully good right now, the only problem is they have no SGS II, but Im about to go annoy the Droid Charge people on the forum

I agree, the wifi is great on the phone, but like before, it noms the battery juices
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jameson JC:
I have also noticed better 3g speeds. Long island NY.

Of course wifi is just silly fast on this phone, 4g areas are limited where I am but when working very fast.

The drawback to 4g IMO is the battery drain... silly fast when running, worse than wifi IMO and can't turn off when screen off...

Sent rapidly using my Samsung Galaxy S-II Epic™ 4g Touch |•XDA App•|
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] undefined:
From my understanding, WiMAX isnt't too far from WiFi lol, I also think the WiMAX radio sleeps when there is no data being transmitted, so it kinda helps with battery drain. Ill take a better look this weekend, I travel about 2 hours from my house to visit family and there is 4G there and I LOVE it lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabbed:
You should either complain or ask for a refund.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] undefined:
Im really thinkig about it. I might just argue witu verizon and get that. I checked coverage at the college im going to and there is no sprint coverage there either but there is verizon coverage lol

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bipoler:
I concur this phone is by far the best! But sprint 3g sucks and 4g is poor. But tmobile 4g is fast all time lte.speeds

..but sidekick 4g sucks so i left
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] andygallo:
My city is a 4G area, but coverage is pretty spotty (of course). So, on a whim, I decided to see how bad of a hit I would take leaving 4G on all the time. Over the past week so far, I can unplug around 8AM, go to work, and when I get back around 6PM, I'll have about 40% battery left (fairly light usage).

Note that in my office I have zero 4G signal (heck, even voice is pretty spotty), so pretty much from 8:30AM to 5:30PM it just sits there and searches for 4G. I'm guesstimating maybe 15-16 hours of battery life under these conditions (again fairly light usage).

When I'm actually connected to 4G, battery life is quite good from what I've seen. I think it could easily do 20+ hours with medium usage, if I could get an all-day-reliable signal (big if there).

Leaving 4G on with my old Epic would kill the battery in short order (I'm thinking maybe 8 hours), so the Epic Touch is a MAJOR improvement for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cd85233:
I was getting about 200Kb/S and I removed the sprint proxies from the ##DATA# and also switched my home agent to somewhere nearby. All of this got me to about 1200+ Kb/S. Give it a try, I feel like my phone is blazing fast in all aspects.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] undefined:
Could you by any chance walk me through that? lol I looked around and didnt see any proxies or Home networks, I'm a CDMA noob =\
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bigjim1488:
I haven't seen much of an improvement if any in nassau county. Sprint speeds are just so inconsistent. I can go from 800k to 150k as I sit at my desk. Pisses me off. I am currently trying out att and sadly I am loving the service
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] housry23:
Go to Google & search "Sprint Network Vision"...that is their plan. If you stick it out for a couple years, you might see an improvement. I'm also thinking of going to Verizon. Not for network speeds, although that would be a +, but for the Galaxy Nexus. I just saw where it will be out on Dec. 8th.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bigjim1488:
I'll probably just leave and come back when that happens. I know sprint has good plans coming down the pike but I don't want to deal with this for two or more years
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Rob4828:
What exactly do you mean by switching to someplace nearby. The only tweaks i know is going to ##data# and making ports 0 and proxies 0.0.0.0
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cd85233:
This thread talks about the proxies.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1265990

I am not sure if there is a thread for home agent, but just browse through ##DATA# in edit mode and look for Home Agent.

Google "Sprint Home Agent" and you will get the server addresses.

In fact, if you google "Android Home Agent" you will probably get some hits. Sorry, I wish I had bookmarked these.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dulanic:
They are working on it at least. My local tower got upgraded recently and I am happy with the speed now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] islanda73:
This is orlandos speeds im pissed of at the 3g one and i don't even live their

How the **** its uplaod speed faster than download

Just for fun here's my wifi speed

The day I get those speeds I'll jizz in my pants
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Flug:
Looking forward to any upgrades coming to the San Diego area. Whenever I visit the girlfriend in LA the speeds are noticeably faster; even on 3G.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bondosho:
I was at the LA Auto Show yesterday, and even inside the convention center, speeds were around 2.5 down, 500 up. For a minute there I thought I was on their wifi connection.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] choyt2011:
I've noticed since the Iphone 4 came to Sprint, atleast in my area that the data speeds have come to a crawl. I had the Evo 4G before I got my Epic Touch and the speeds were decent...but got worse around launch time of the Iphone. I'm not sure what Sprint is doing about it...but hopefully they will get the towers/network upgraded soon so that they don't have pissed off customers.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MarkMyShark:
In Oklahoma city my 3g speeds are around 1mb down heavy traffic hours and 1.5 off heavy traffic. The only thing that makes me mad is they said they would have 4g wimax here In the spring. They have it in a very small area right now. Hopefully by 2012 spring they have it in a somewhat larger area. But Overall I love this phone so much and my home wifi is really fast so the average 3g speeds let me make it threw school and work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nvrblnk:
I'm not 100% sure if I read correctly, but I think wimax development and expansion is pretty much toast since Sprint is switching to LTE.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] flexte:
Not all the time. Sprint isn't fast when I am in my house but Tmobile is so slow I can't even download from the market. I'm in A rural Nj area near philly
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dw3bb10:
Luckily i can pull around 2.6mbps off of 3G in my area
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MarkMyShark:
Well An.droid-life.com just said yesterday that sprint just spent 926 million on there Wimax to keep the network up until 2015 I was thinking that clear view(the people that run the wimax network) might do some more expanding by then.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dbaybay:
I ran a speed test on my E4GT the other day and found that my 3g at home averages speeds around 1.30 MBPS down / .50 MBPS up. While that is extremely slow compared to my roaming speeds with USCC (I just moved to FL and had to switch) its nothing compared to my 4G speeds, bahaha what a joke.

After running the 3g test, I ran a 4g test and averaged 1.05 MBPS down / .28 MBPS up.

$10 a line for "premium data" and it can't be removed and the speeds are ****tier then 3g? Make sense of that *puke*
[Galaxy S II Accessories] maximosm:
I have a problem from the first time i had the gs2.The problem is tha when i use the phone with gps at car with tha charger plug in the phone not charging but the battery drop.I have test many chargers but the problem is still here.How many ma can take the phone?I have buy a cheap 2.1 usb charger from ebay but still i have the problem.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Coedy:
Buy a proper Samsung official charger. I have one and dont have this problem when using Sygic.

Started with 60% drove for 40minutes with sygic and charging and got out with 78% Its low. but its not sapping the battery faster than recharging.

so...whats the problem then? Use sygic? :S

I used to use google maps navigation and that was fine as well...

I registered one for myself at a store about a week ago - they called me several hours ago (morning here), I picked it up!

They said I was the first one to buy it, since they got it just before calling me.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] vancoland:
I just came back from picking mine up too. I called this morning to see if the tablet will be in stores on Friday, and they said most likely that I will have to make a reservation or they might be sold out, so I did. They called me back like an hour later and told me they have them in stock.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pavelbor:
Hello all,

did anyone calculated memory in our Notes?

2Gb - / "system disk"

11Gb - /mnt/sdcard

But we should have 16Gb. So, 3Gb is missing. Where is it ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Spartan2x:
When 16 GB is indicated it's never the full 16GB, the same goes for 32GB...64GB....ext, they always round up to the nearest increment. It is deceptive, but that's just how they do it with solid state memory.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pavelbor:
.

Rounding ?! 13Gb <> ~16Gb
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Spartan2x:
Yep. When the last time you saw increments other then 4,8,16,32,64,128...for solid state memory.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Souai:
when manufactures advertise 16gb, theyre going as in 16,000,000,000Bytes. but most OS will read it in terms of binary, and the nearest number to 1000 is 1024 (i suck at phrasing).

so 16,000,000,000bytes divided by 1024bytes per kb = 15625000kb divided by 1024kb/mb = 15258.8mb divided by 1024mb/gb = 14.9 gigabytes. now subtract the 2gb for the apps partition and thats 12.9gb. now i dont know too much about the little things to do with android/linux, but i would assume that maybe 1gb or so would be reserved for the android OS itself, or some of it is used as virtual memory.

Very true. With a little work, the droid will be able to run ics. The only issue with it is ram, but besides that, the processor is just fine. The gpu is decent as well. The beginning of this post also says that your device must have 256 megabytes of ram. droid = 256 megabytes of ram;)

I am sure that someone is working on an aosp ics at this very moment.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] add119:
your right the ram after 170 apps it will go on low memory i had my original droid running as many as 180 apps at one point . But ram keep going low to 0-10 mb but the performance was still amazing because the phone wasnt freezing like htc g1 on froyo. On stock roms droid 1 would easily have 130 mb of 256 mb that the phone comes with.

Google g1 was only stable with 2.1 os roms and 1 guy i forgot his name made a good froyo roms but took half of internal storage half of the g1 to make it work on stable rom.

But anywho the g1 isnt stable at gingerbread and it wont be either on ice cream sandwich u guys should be happy that Motorola did their job with this phone.

Enjoy Ice cream Sandwich

You are correct about the ram the hero has like 150 or 190 something like that don't remember but, the Hero CDMA can overclock to 768MHZ max. So yeah lol.. Y'all have a big advantage on internal storage too. The Hero CDMA has about 156 or something and I believe y'all have 512 or something like that.. Well point being, after slapping ICS on the Hero CDMA, you've only got about 70 to 90mb free space. Y'all may have 450 or 430 and y'all should run ICS smoother than us cause of ram. ICS is a ram sucker to the Hero CDMA. Don't know why but its just that way. Lol. I don't know if I cleared up some stuff or not I currently do not own a OG Droid. I've had a Hero CDMA and Evo Shift now I'm currently with the LG Spectrum. Love it lol. Sorry for going a lil off topic, I'll consider helping the OG Droid with ICS.

This was one of my first Android devices. I loved it, but unfortunately this device has been EOL since Froyo.
