Update! Now using X Scope Pro Browser. Its Faster then Dolphin HD browser and has themes. plus lots of extras! Plus I like the way adding Bookmarks works. Using bookmarks in Dolphin HD browser always sucked!

Cost a few bucks but its well work it!

my2cents...

Stock

Compact and quick for mobile view, but poor for desktop view. I usually uninstall this as I need full viewing capability on initial page load; however i can see how this is a benefit to people who just need quick access to text content.

Opera Mobile

Best for desktop view and probably functions better than any browser, but takes too long to load and stays running in the background after exit unless you kill it with task manager. (i assume it is to keep memory in dalvik so it loads quicker next time you need it)

Honestly, I would use this one exclusively if it werent for the battery drain associated with running 100% of the time.

Dolphin HD

This has been my favorite through last 4 handsets (Cliq-N1-MT4G-S2) due to a "best of both worlds" scenario. Loads faster than Opera Mobile, you can exit out easily, has solid tab browsing experience, desktop toggle, speed dial add on.

Only complaint is that DolphinHD was causing random reboots on S2 until the last update.

Boat

So I just tried this last night after reading this thread and I'm sold on this. It has a lot of the features of Dolphin and Opera combined, yet is quick to load and can be easily closed.

Why have I not used this before???

I like to keep 2 browers installed, so Stock and Opera just got uninstalled.

All I got go say is if you have a upgrade coming up soon this is the phone to get. If your worried about the lack of a physical keyboard trust me I feel your pain but after having this phone for about 3days already I can honestly say I don't miss the physical keyboard at all. This phone is so much earlier to root and install customs roms. The speed is incredible and with the right rom and kernel combo you can easily get over 6000 on the benchmarks score. Oh if your short on cash don't worry what ever corporate sprint store you go to they will buy back your old epic for 80.00. If you got an upgrade coming the touch is the way to go. Did I mention front facing video recorder. Well anyway it was indeed a pleasure being apart of this wonderful forum for over a year I hope to see you soon over on the epic touch forums. Take care.
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
I'm more worried about LTE. My next phone must have it.

My area will probably never have a proper WiMax deployment but LTE is a sure thing and extremely exciting to say the least. I have some cool stuf to bring back soon.
[Epic 4G General] blackdragon79:
More than likely all the higher end duel core phones will have it.
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
I know, hopefully I can get a quad. :)

[Epic 4G General] b16flybye:
Nah, galaxy s2 is better, but wait for s3 LTE
[Epic 4G General] ac16313:
Why would people update only to be stuck on contract for two years with no LTE? Plus the keyboard is still a need for me or a bigger screen the Galaxy Nexus sized screen is looking good for me. You mentioned it was easier to root and install custom ROM on the ET4G how exactly can it be easier than a one click root on froyo or flashing clockwork mod on gingerbread, then flashing a ROM in clockwork?...also with CM7(which is official on our phone now) we get front facing camera video recording also. So I don't really see the need to get an ET4G
[Epic 4G General] jnadke:
Negatives:

-800x480 screen: So 2 years ago. 1280x720 AMOLED or bust.

-WiMax: They're not expanding to my area, so I'd rather go with the future LTE.

-Quad-Core phones are coming out. Higher performance ceiling at the same battery use, or even less with newer deep sleep modes.

My upgrade isn't until june, so I'll be going Quad-core.
[Epic 4G General] dtugg:
While the ET4G is undoubtedly the best Sprint phone, I don't think it is worth using an upgrade on. The OG Epic is still a very good phone and is only getting better thanks to the great work of our devs. I will be using my upgrade on a quad core LTE 1280x720 monster phone. Probably the GS3.
[Epic 4G General] XtaC318:
Wait for an LTE device. Would be the best logical phone choice imo :)
[Epic 4G General] thomasskull666:

[Epic 4G General] jdelano:
Yuuuuuuuup; I've decided this as well.

I bought my daughter (15 yrs old spoiled rotten brat, lol I kid) the Touch. sprint had a nice sale + her upgrade which made it a nice xmas gift.

I've played with it some and I do really like the Touch; for me personally, there isn't enough of a hardware change to switch ATM
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:

i was thinking about the white epic touch, but wouldn't use an upgrade for it, just the tax refund.
[Epic 4G General] jBlizzy:
See a lot of people waiting on the GS3 but the 2 isn't that old, how long would it be till 3 comes out? Are there official mumblings of a 3 with specs n such or is this all just assumption?

No 4G in my area and who knows when I'll get it, not sure waiting on LTE is worth it.

*edit* also I wouldn't be using an upgrade if I did get a new one, just pay for it straight up. Store guys hate it when you get a phone without a contract though.

As much as I want the Epic 4G Touch, I know waiting for the next generation will be worth the wait. A Quad-Core 1.5GHz (or higher) phone with an HD Display and ICS sounds more promising.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
Yup. I've had an upgrade since october. I'm not gonna waste it on a gsii this late in its life. Honestly, the only thing that held me back was the screen. There's no improvement over the epic cept for green subpixels. Its the same amount of pixels covering more space. And don't come at me with "BUT THE SCREEN IS GORGEOUS REGARDLESS" because I KNOW ITS GORGEOUS BECAUSE ITS THE SAME SCREEN AS THE OG EPIC! The only difference is white will look whiter. Now, I wouldn't have minded upgrading to the GSII HD LTE (lul that's its orfficial name) in Korea...its the gsii with an HD screen (galaxy nexus) and LTE. Actually its just a galaxy nexus with an exynos instead of OMAP.

[Epic 4G General] socos25:
No offense, but I have a hard time beleiving that all of a sudden I will love typing on a screen instead of having my hardware keyboard. Whats the use of having all that screen if everytime I am going to type something most of that screen is taken up with a keyboard?

I've played with the Epic touch 4G, While I would say it is faster than my Epic, it is not better enough to make me want it. And I need a future upgrade path to LTE. I will keep the Epic until I can get a phone I like with LTE.

[Epic 4G General] RandomKing:
The Epic 4G came to us in September 2010. Just 7 months later, the first Galaxy S II was released in April 2010. In September 2011 we finally got our own Galaxy S II, the Epic Touch 4G to Sprint. Assumptions can be made from there that Samsung is attempting to keep a regular release system. :D
[Epic 4G General] CapsLockKey:
For me to bother with an upgrade my next phone better have two things: an LTE radio and ICS. Epic Touch has neither. My friend has an Epic Touch and I've played with it plenty. Is it nicer than my Epic? Yes, but not far and away that makes me really desire one.

Ok, after going back and fourth from so many different roms (usually going back to mikg) I finally decided to try to get vvm to work on 3.5 roms, I'm pretty hardcore when it comes to having all features that work on sense 1.0+ on 3.5 roms.

I am also currently working on getting EPST to work on all 3.5 roms, anyone that wants to help let me know!.

Also- Please don't flood this thread with "You don't have to do (whichever step)" you may of not had to do while restoring working vvm to your particular setup. Some roms you can just restore a working vvm from a previous backup, this fix is NOT for you!. You can post that you didn't have to use all of the steps that I posted, but please do not post that everyone does not have to use all steps. I end up getting flooded by PM's of people saying "So and so said in the thread that all you have to do is..."

Also to BLOCK 9016 you have to follow these steps

1. Get a vvm and the text from 9016

2. Open your messages app and open the message from 9016, then press menu.

3. Select "Block Messages"

4. Setup a password

5.Then once you're past that press menu again and select "block list"

6. Select "add block people"

7. enter "9016" (without quotes) then select done.

Anyways here is the fix to get vvm to work on any sense 3.5 rom;

1. Have a titanium backup of a working vvm (with a couple voicemails on it)

2. Restore it to whatever 3.5 sense rom you want.

3. Reboot into recovery wipe cache,dalvik then flash attached .zip file.

4. Once phone is rebooted, install the attached .apk.

Let me know if anyone has issues!, I've tested this on a few different 3.5 roms, works fine on all of them.

Note- I have had a couple of times after flashing different fixes that it breaks vvm, if you get force closes, just reinstall the .apk and it will work again.

then just follow the steps

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ashbuly:
You can also compose a message in vvm to activate@vvm.sprint.com. record a 5 or 10 second message and send. This worked on a few different phones including the evo. Not sure how or why, but it works.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DroidEVO:
What do you say in the message? Do you tell them to activate the voice mail or to stop sending the 9016 text?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ashbuly:
Nobody listens to it, say whatever you want, don't say anything, yell, scream, belch, it doesn't matter. It just trips a computer switch.

Hi guys have my note running romow's 4.1 and I get vibration in every other aspect of the phone other than email and sms alerts. I've tried using gosms and that doesn't work. Anyone one else have a galaxy note on a custom rom who is able to have vibration when you receive sms/emails?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] entropy96:
Did you flash a custom ROM?

I lost vibration as well back when I was using Cassie's XtraLiteRom.

What I did was re-install the ROM, do a factory reset via CWM, then reboot the phone normally.

The vibration should be back.

Then go back to CWM, and flash the custom ROM again.

Voila! Vibration works again.

My phone was rebooting repeatedly to no avail so I tried taking the battery out and it got it started rebooting again to no avail.

Now it does not reboot or do anything anymore, with a full battery or without a battery at all.

First Post. Just need a simple answer or direction.

I have an Xperia x10. Use to be on Wolfbreaks 6.1.3 rom.

Upgraded using Doomlords flashtool and rooting method. Everything worked flawlessly. From flashing the stock firmware to downgrading kernel, root, and upgrading kernel. Did the entire process at once so not sure if the problem occurred after flashing stock firmware or root. But here's my problem:

Phone boots, everything loads. I go to use browser and other apps that require internet access and my phone pops up a window saying downloading settings. Then another windows asking choose your carrier. Only option, is my carrier (at&t). So i click on it and the window goes away.....

I then get access to the internet and the H ↑↓ next to my phone signal for a brief 5 minutes or so. It then shows a window saying failed to download settings retry? And thus, starts my endless cycle of choosing at&t and a few moments of tower signal.

I'm on the east coast of the US using an unbranded rooted x10i at&t phone.

Seems like something went wrong using Doomlords procedure. Any relative solutions are appreciated.

Hi,

I've posed a question about this issue before, but other than installing a different launcher, has anyone figured out how to make touchwiz smooth as butter like the 10.1?

By the way, I asked Samsung tech support about this issue. They told me to do a hard reset. It didn't fix anything, it still stutters. I've read several reviews and many of them don't mention the lag/stutter. It makes no sense how many people don't mention this issue. I went back to Bestbuy and they had two of them on display. They both stuttered, but the 10.1 on display was smooth. Hopefully ICS will fix the issue.

Thanks,

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Sardonycus:
I just got mine yesterday and it was laggy right out of the box, before I even installed anything. I love Samsung devices and after owning both versions of the Epic 4g, im used to Touchwiz. I was really surprised how laggy and slow it was. I installed ADW launcher and the problem is completely solved. Rooting and flashing a ROM would obviously work as well.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] poisike:
Actually all tegra 2 tabs have the same problem and unfortunately it seems to be a hardware problem. The only difference with GT8.9 is that it has this problem in landscape and all other tabs have it in portrait. This is because the screen in GT8.9 is rotated 90 degrees.

I have also thought about contacting support about this issue to see what they tell me, but I'm afraid they have no idea why it is like it is, so I haven't seen a point in contacting them.

If you absolutely want to keep TouchWiz, maybe rooting and deleting all the bloatware would speed things up.
