I highly doubt it, my wife has an Epic and I a Nexus. Not many things are compatible. Try using a different browser like Chrome or Firefox and it should let you download, the link you need is below.

Turn off your AV while downloading. The script for the epic contains a file that is picked up as a Trojan.

I've got an universal 4.2 volt charger while the anker and mugen battery I ordered are 3.7, will it damage my battery if I use this charger?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TalynOne:
My phone sits by my computer most of the time, and with my HTC Mogul, then HTC Touch Pro, then EVO 4G I've bought a combo cradle/battery charger. I haven't seen one mentioned available here for the Epic 4G Touch and I just found/bought one on eBay and thought I'd mention it for others interested in a device like this. Once I receive the item I can post a review if you guys would like.

Please post a review of you get a chance. We'd love to hear from your experiences.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] surge919:
This looks like the one I had for my Touch Pro 2... it worked nicely and was cheaper than the official docks.

I am interested in your impressions as well.

thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] killabee44:
Question for anyone that has purchased this dock..

Have you been able to charge your phone with any type of case on it? Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TalynOne:
Just a quick update. I got the charger, but I don't have an Epic 4G Touch yet. The first seller I bought the phone from ended up being from a scammer. I gave the dock/charger to a friend, and bought another one that's already here. I should have the Epic 4G Touch from another seller here by Tuesday and will post my impressions soon after.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] killabee44:
Damn, sorry to hear that..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] killabee44:
Ok guys...

Im also looking at desktop cradles and found this other one:

From an Amazon vendor:

$22 (includes shipping):

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005OTXKK4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=A3CZ5XR3PIAJMS

It's basically almost the same design as the one the OP linked to. What do you guys think?

I kind of wanted one that you could rest the phone in and charge it with a cover on, but I don't think that's gonna happen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Radical-J:
I think this one is better because you can turn your dock on its side like if you were watching Sprint TV...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] surge919:
This one looks nice, but some of the reviews for this brand (for other phones) mentions it covers up the speaker so when the phone is docked the sounds are silenced since the speaker is at the bottom. Although this may be true for all these 3rd party docks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TalynOne:
It's cool, Paypal resolution against the scammer just resolved today and they sided with me and already credited my PayPal account.

---

For that other cradle from Amazon, though you probably can put it on its side I'd be concerned with the side buttons/hitting the desk and possibly being pressed in, and possibly the device itself slipping out. The other concern I have with that model is that I can't clearly see the extra battery charger compartment. The one I got should accommodate extended batteries, but I can't tell on that model.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gorguts:
Found this one... similar

http://www.ebay.com/itm/KiDiGi-BATT...Accessories&hash=item45ff08a39d#ht_4184wt_940
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] surge919:
it looks like the one from Amazon just a different brand.. it also covers the speaker so I wonder if you can hear the alarms or music... there may be enough room behind the actual phone to allow the sound to be heard, but it doesnt look like it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TalynOne:
Quick first impressions:

* Feels solid and fits snugly, so pay attention when docking the phone in as it aligns only one way.

* When no battery is in the battery charging slot there's a LED that flashes crazy fast green/red which may bother some people. You can always cover it up with electrical tape. I don't notice it most of the time since my phone blocks the LED anyways when docked.

* A significant negative and quite surprising difference in the dock compared to the docks I had for my EVO 4G / Touch Pro and Mogul are that this dock only has one USB slot. So it either charges the battery and phone from a wall plug or it charges the battery and connects/charges the phone via your computer's USB port. My previous phone docks had 2 USB connectors, one for the battery and one for the phone. I haven't tried connecting this to my computer or charging an extra battery yet but I'm figuring trying to charge two things at the same time via one USB cable, especially when connected to a computer USB port would not be very efficient.

Update 12/09/2011: Argh, deal breaker, just got my Trexcell 3800mah Extended Battery, but because of the location of the battery contact on the battery and dock it won't fit, :(.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
Killabee and talynone

that second black dock is the one I am interested in. my PRIMARY concern with docks that use the charging jack on the phone (whatever happened to dedicated dock "contacts" on phones Cheap SOB's)

is that I want the phone IMMOBILIZED while in the dock. ie I don't want to be able to TILT the phone forward while in the dock "stressing and breaking" the usb jack on the phone.

IE I want the dock to RESTRICT the movement of the phone to vertical only (insert remove dock connector type motion)

the first dock in this thread would NOT prevent the phone from tilting forward.

the second one I am not sure about. do those sides "wrap" around the edge of the phone enough to restrict its movement to a solid slide and NO forward slop?

Here is a video of what I mean. (its processing give it a few minutes to process)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhWtz5EU_Rg
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] killabee44:
nerys71,

I saw your video and can tell you that the phone in this dock is not restricted from tilting. So yes it will tilt while charging. I am talking about this dock:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005OTXKK4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=A3CZ5XR3PIAJMS
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
ahh pity. I assume you have it? does the phone protrude past the front "AT ALL" in that dock? IE it looks like it would be friendly to modding it with 2 "lips" on the front to prevent the phone tilting.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] killabee44:
Yeah I have it. It doesn't pertrude at all. The phone sits flush.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oliroe:
Hi all

Sorry if the mods think this question has been covered elsewhere but I don't think it has.

I currently have a Desire which has given me 18 months of solid use. I mainly use it for listening to podcasts on the loud speaker, email, Newsrob and Twitter. My main issues with it are the relatively poor battery (although alot better under CM7.1), tinny loudspeaker and the lack of memory for installing apps.

I really wanted a Galaxy Nexus until I started reading all the issues. Given that I want better battery life and a better loudspeaker would you get a Nexus or wait for something better to come along? Given that I'll be on a 24 month contract I'd be willing to wait 3 months

Thanks in advance

Oli
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shodney:
Honestly? I would love to tell you to buy the Nexus, but with all the issues at the minute (the volume ghost obviously being the main culprit) I would have to tell you to hang on to your Desire. At least until we get some kind of response from Google / Samsung letting us know what the problem is.

I was due to sell my Desire tomorrow, but I'm holding on to it for the time being as the Nexus is borderline unusable in low signal areas :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
I replaced my original HTC Desire with Nexus S ... and now Nexus S with Galaxy Nexus.

I hate the Desire, slow and small storage space.

Love my Nexus S, but ... I want a new toy !

---------- Post added at 03:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:56 PM ----------

Btw, how much will you sell your Desire?

Just wondering if this kind of phone can still make some money :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kingpiiin:
Exactly the same issue....I have a desire too. I am contemplating the GS2 or Razr also...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chrono_Tata:
If what you want mainly is a better battery life, then I would suggest getting an external battery pack. Likewise with speaker; get a portable external speaker. I highly doubt there are many phones out there that provide a very good internal speaker and when they do they are usually "media phones" that are not very useful for much else.

If you really don't want to carry all the extra gadgets around then I would actually suggest getting cheaper phones that are not top of the line. The problem is that top of the line phones just keep getting more powerful and battery-hogging while battery technology is just barely catching up, and you can see that all these new phones are barely getting through a day with heavy use.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shodney:
I was just going to send it off to one of those online recycling places, one offered my £105 for it.

I still have the box and everything, so when it comes round to it I may try my luck selling it elsewhere. I can't see getting much more for it though, tbh.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oliroe:
Not sure I can be bothered with ebay and Mazuma will give £90 for a working Desire.

I've already got a 5000mah external battery and a portable speaker but they are hardly ideal to carry around permanently.

I'm definitely going to wait until the volume issue is sorted as the Nexus seems pretty unuseable at the moment
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Slaguru:
Thing is that you will have the same questions in another 6 months time.

My last Android phone was a Desire and I loved it, but sold it 10 months ago because I just use my iPhone more.

But dropped for the Nexus last week and its a real step up. Can't say its better than a GS2, and it does have some downsides, the battery being one of them. But I think this will hold you well for another 18 months.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] paul_one:
I'm in the same boat.. gonna wait until google/samsung respond.

I'm only going to get nexus devices now though, as Motorola have annoyed me with the xoom and the UK firmware debacle - lesson learnt is always try to get as clean a device as possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shodney:
It's a shame really, because I absolutely love the device (and ICS) - it's a big step up from my Desire. Everything is just so much faster!

I just couldn't recommend buying one with such a big issue hanging over it. Hopefully we should get at least some kind of response from Google / Samsung today, which might clear things up :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zarch1972:
For me, the volume thing will get sorted, not a show stopper imho.

I'm sat with my 18 month old desire too wondering whether to make the jump.

I can't be having the sg2 as its got no LED notification, which rules out plenty of other phones too.

Stories coming out regarding battery usage on the GN are promising. Certainly on par and better than the Desire.

The GN camera cannot be any worse than the Desire, so as long as its as good as reported, although not world class, I will be happy enough. I have my dSLR for proper photos.

My biggest worry is the bloody size of the GN. Saw a mock up of it in P4U and it did seem big. LOL.

That's going to be the deciding factor. Size.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whyamihere:
I also have a Desire and its been a great phone for me, but fingers crossed tomorrow the postie will bring me a Galaxy Nexus.

I've held both the S2 and and GN, width wise they're the same, the GN is slightly taller. But I actually preferred the GN in my hand, it felt more solid due to it's metal construction inside therefore also making it very slightly heavier. The tapered curves also helped as it felt more comfortable to hold in comparison to the S2 which is a bit square.

The led notification is a big plus for me too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KrewCial:
Im also thorn between the galaxy s2 and the galaxy nexus. I have faith in the software issues being sorted out, but when it comes down to camera quality and what not, I'm leaning more towards the S2 atm. Especially because its quite a bit cheaper, while having better hardware in some aspects as well. Hm...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wilbur-force:
Just traded up from a desire to the nexus. Go for it ! No regrets at all.

Battery bettery than desire.

Screen is fantastic.

Sound via headphones much better than desire.

Feels substantial (like my desire did).... more so than the gs2.

One thing i miss is the optical trackpad but not a dealbreaker.

I posted a thread about my thoughts moving upbfrom desire.

---------- Post added at 07:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:06 PM ----------

..... oh and its lightening fast !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xandermpls:
I am selling my alt phone, (mt4G) hope this phone makes a decent upgrade. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oliroe:
Thanks for that, could you let me know how the loudspeaker compares?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wilbur-force:
always found the loudspeaker on my desire quite quiet. nexus seems louder although not as loud as my wifes experia.

headphone quality blows the desire away ! especially with some (built in) equaliser tweaks !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scooby359:
wilbur-force - what equalizer? Built in? I don't see anything...?

On topic though, I've upgraded from the Desire which I've had for 18 months to the Galaxy Nexus and I love it! I've not had any probs with the sound fault being talked about, so I can only say from my perspective, it's not a fair reflection on the phone.

The screen however, looks gorgeous, so much clearer and detailed than the Desire. And the speed? Brilliant! I had apps on my Desire which I thought were running slow due to internet connections.. I realize now that it was the phone. Everything runs so quickly on the Nexus. I also love being able to download all the apps I want without having to juggle what little memory space I have left.

The sound is also great on the Nexus. Through headphones (I use Sennheiser CX680i with my phone), the music's loud, clear and sharp. The loud speaker, though nothing particularly special, does seems louder and clearer than the Desire which I always thought was a bit muffled.

The interface looks good, much smarter and modern than Android 2.3, in part because of the screen quality, but all the layouts have been updated and made to look nicer, and somewhat like the new style of the Google websites. Only problem I do have is sometimes when trying to press an app by pressing the bottom of the screen, I catch the home button instead. Minor problem and it's something I'll get used to, but I do miss my buttons, especially the search button!

Overall, well chuffed with it. It looks good, feels good, and it's great to use. I'd recommend upgrading :)

---------- Post added at 12:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 AM ----------

Just one more thought to bare in mind, I'm finding a few apps I had on my Desire aren't available off the Market for the Nexus.

I assume that this is just a temporary niggle till devs catch up, but something else to consider so early on in the phones life cycle
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zarch1972:
Desire-Upgraders.....

Camera far better?

Battery life better?

I can't get over the size of it.... might have to head to a shop and have another hold to convince myself. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wilbur-force:
battery better even tho its not run in yet or smartass clocked.

Camera better

Equaliser ...... while playing music... settings and sound effects.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hiohokaybye:
Also coming from a desire, I personally feel like the screen on this device odds a little small at times so I think the large screen is what I'm looking for ;) and apparently the thinness make it seem smaller :) I'm getting mine next week! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wilbur-force:
..... just been resetting my old desire for my son to use. I loved that phone but now it seems so small and slow :o

Only thing i miss is the trackpad.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s4vva:
I have a Desire also which I am struggling to let go. I know it's the right thing to do but I know I will miss the search button, sd slot, and the trackpad...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zarch1972:
Paul over at MoDaCo has already got the Search and Menu buttons back. He's just released some pictures on twitter.

https://twitter.com/#!/PaulOBrien

I'm sure 13gb will be fine for me, so not worried about lack of sd-slot.

I suppose i've become fond of the trackpad, but i'm sure I could live without it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nigelw:
Desire here as well, last month of an 18 month contract, told T-Mobile to cancel on 9th December as they don't carry the Nexus. Still not decided what to do, get Nexus on contract, buy one, or get the SG2 and wait for the ICS upgrade. Right now I'm struggling to be patient, was looking forward to getting an upgrade but the sensible part of me says I should wait.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] her0n:
I upgraded from the Desire to the Galaxy Nexus too. Amazing difference. However because of the volume issue (and personal preference) i'll be exchanging it for an HTC Sensation XE.

I would recommend waiting until Samsung/Google sort their lives out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wilbur-force:
Same thing. Ive actually got two months left on tmob but got the phone on orange panther. Using tmob sim till end of contract and will swap number then. Swapped wifes phone early too and still walker out of phones4u with more cash than i need to pay both tarrifs somehow ??

I dont miss the search.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zarch1972:
Just got back from local P4U store, effing useless.

Let me hold the phone for about 10 seconds before wanting it back. No sim card in it and no wifi in store, so couldn't try the browser.(stupidity)

Idiot sales "assistant" seemed more interested in showing me pictures of staff members they took with the camera.

Bottom line, display looks amazing from what I saw, the phone is certainly a large unit compared to my Desire, but it is much thinner, which takes away some of the bulk.

Seems okay in shirt top pocket, but not sure how it'll fit in a jeans pocket.

Damn and blast, don't know what to do!! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chrono_Tata:
It fits well in jeans pocket actually unless you wear really tight skinny jeans. The curve of the screen hugs around your thigh pretty well.

I wouldn't put it in your shirt pocket. Can you imagine it slip out onto the concrete floor if you bend down to pick something up. D:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oliroe:
Right I've made my mind up

1. Sell HTC Desire for £105

2. Out of contract with T-mobile so negotiate a rolling contract of around £15/month

3. Buy Nexus S from ebay for circa £160

4. Wait 3-6 months until the next big thing (Galaxy S 3 etc)

5. Sell Nexus S

This way I'll get ICS soon and use the savings from a reduced contract to make up the £55 difference from Desire to Nexus S. I can also wait for HTC and Samsung's own ICS variants

I came to came to Galaxy Nexus from Desire HD and what an up grade. I've had no problems with mine no volume problems nothing. Battery life is fine. I don't know how many people are experiencing the reported faults/problems but mine is perfect. I definitely recommend the GN.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RazoE:
My daughter's phone this morning had an update from T-Mobile. I told her not to install it, as it may revoke root.

She clicked on it (kids....), but luckily it says it's been post-poned until the 22nd (tomorrow)..

Just wondering if anyone has any idea what it is?

I know any OTA updates may potentiall revoke root, but just wondering if anyone else has gotten this.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
The worst it could do is overwrite your root, but it wouldn't take that ability away, you would just need to re-root it after the update was completed. I heard some rumors that KJ2 was being pushed out as an official update, but I'm not entirely sure.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] dw9906:
It's 100% true or i wouldn't have posted it. I got the update via Kies. It's coming OTA soon.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RazoE:
Whats KJ2?

Also im running Gingerbreak on it, if it revokes the root, would the thing even boot up?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ncmacasl:
I got it today. No obvious changes but it does seem to work a bit smoother.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
Gingerbreak? you mean GingerClone? Gingerbreak is the rooting method for Gingerbread (2.3).

KD1 was the original stock firmware, then they pushed KG2 as an update, and the latest update is KJ2, which includes some bugfixes and not many other changes.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HeavyYeti:
You can still root after the update. KJ2 is seriously worth it. The phone runs so smoothly now. Although, I still think this is TM's way of staving us off until they release GB. XD
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RazoE:
Sorry, you are correct:D

So it's safe to install the update? I'll tell her to do it as soon as I get home.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Falkner09:
is anything else different? I generally try to let others test the waters first, since the last "update" merely removed a useful shortcut function and added Google Books as bloat.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] dw9906:
You wont notice anything different except maybe better performance. You should do it.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] orange808:
I went ahead and grabbed the update off Kies. So far, it looks like the persistent memory leak issues have been addressed in the Touchwiz/Zipwip software package. Also, my battery performance has returned to what I expected with KD1 (given my device's configuration).

I haven't encountered any drawbacks to upgrading. No reason to stick with KG2 or KD1 at this point--unless you fell in love with a custom...
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Stryker Trailwood:
I am running gingerclone as well, i got the notice for the update but postponed it, I didn't know if it would be safe to run since i wasn't on a stock rom, I got tired of seeing the update icon so i let it run, it failed.

The phone rebooted and I have not seen the update notice again.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Frolesswonder:
I have TouchMIUIwiz v3 and I also ran the update after getting sick of the constant reminder and icon. It failed and disappears for a few days then come back. I've repeated the process a few times now.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RazoE:
Update installed fine for her and nothing is too different. Safe to go.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] dw9906:
It won't work unless your on a completly stock and unmodified rom.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Shystep:
Not true. I'm running clean fusion v3 and. I was able to update my phone sad thing is I had to wait like a month to get the update when it was realesed way before I got my phone.... shm t-mobile
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] dw9906:
For ota it is. Not kies
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Shystep:
Ohh sorry butt t

Its perrty messed up my phone doesn't let me know when there's an update I have to look on google if one was realesed
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Stryker Trailwood:
If only that would make it stop bothering me to run an update that will constantly fail every few days. :rolleyes:
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] pitflyer:
So no one knows how for rooted roms to turn off the update service?
