[Epic 4G General] mtwow789:
IMO buying Epic 4G was the right choice. It has solid performance and had decent size screen. I also dropped quite a few times. First few were when I had cheapo plastic case on. I literally spiked my phone to cement ground when I fumbled it. But it was totally fine. Everything was fine and nothing shatter or anything. The case had some scratches but phone itself was harmless and it was still running. To me that is solid build.

About keyboard, it was hit and miss for me. I first liked it and used it alot of times when I was using emulator. But after google striking down emulators from market and Epic had horrible update that caused key skipping, I use keyboard less and less. So it is just needless bulk for me. I wish it was slim as Nexus S. Also I use bilingual IME for my phone and for some reason there isn't good IME that supports foreign language other than english for HW keyboard.

And now with CM7 and CM9 alpha, I am totally satisfied and happy to own this phone!
[Epic 4G General] Tha_Dynasty2049:
Yea i just recently upgraded from the epic 4g to the epic 4g touch

and i gota say i love the touch but i miss my keyboard soo

im selling my epic touch 2nite
[Epic 4G General] ac16313:
Your selling your upgrade? Nice. Lol

Sent from my SPH-D700
[Epic 4G General] Eroc4554:
Strange. My brother and I both have the Epic. His feels solid, and the slider feels fantastic. Mine creaks so much on the battery cover...the slider is sloppy, and it actually rubs against the keys and the bottom edge of the keyboard when you open and close it. In addition to this, the first Epic my brother got stopped working after about 2 hours. The radio just died and there was no signal to be had. Seems like, although these phone are great, they are very inconsistent in their quality.

I love this phone! It's the best phone I have ever owned, and I go back as far as those 3watt Moto bag phones. :D

The OG Epic has been under appreciated for sure. It never received the proper marketing from Sprint or Samsung, and the few shortcomings that it does have stem from poor choices and planning by Sprint and Sammy.

IMO anyway.

I will be holding onto my Epic as well. Most likely until something with a dual core processor and physical keyboard comes along.
[Epic 4G General] Dratini:
This phone is what I wanted as my mp3 player. The screen is amazing. it has a great keyboard. The microphone is not so good, it runs out of batteries fast, and sprint kinda sucks, but omg voodoo sound makes this one of the best phones I have ever used. The audio quality makes me wanna get another Samsung. It is an ok phone, but the multimedia is amazing.
[Epic 4G General] Robalboa:
The epic is still one of the best phones out there. There is nothing this phone can't do that other phones can. I have to admit that every update and all the custom roms has made this phone new all over again 10 times over.

I have had an upgrade availible since last july but I'm not using it until this summer on a "keyboarded lte phone " comes available. There's rumor that the epic 2 is coming out with full qwerty board

MTD (EL30)

BLENDED CLEAN GB AND ERA LWTG

SHADOW V3.0

(in the voice of lil john)

YAAAYUUUUUHH!!!!
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
Hell yeah it was under appreciated. All because the evo beat it by a month or two in announcement so sprint threw all itsmoney to the inferior evo.

I'm not gonna lie, I wanted the evo when they first announced it cuz I wanted a nexus 1 to upgrade from my hero, but they decided to make the evo instead lol

But then I learned about the Hummingbird, screen and the graphics chip in the Galaxy S and wanted sprint to get it and what did they do? They threw a motherfluffing keyboard on an already great phone. It was a wrap lol but then they changed somthings around to make the evo look good.

Such as, removing the TV-Out, fm radio, lowering the RAM from 512 to 3 something (lol!!!!), and finally not advertising it as much.

I didn't care though because it still was better than the evo to me on paper, but I also knew a LOT of people would see the chart in the sprint store and instead go with evo :(

I love my epic so much. Everytime someone sees it, they all go ":O what phone is that? It looks so nice!" And then I say "its a galaxy S for sprint" they all get bewildered like "galaxy s?????" And I'm all "-_- yes. Android." "BUT THAT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A DROID" lololol

Advertisement is so powerful against the masses and it pisses me off that sprint could've changed so much if they didn't treat us like gingers

Hell, we have the most stable cm9 build out there and no one knows.

I'm the only one of my friends who's able to run ics as a daily driver. They all went back to gb. One of my friends on tmo actually sold his sensation and got a nexus s instead because he was tired of all the bs and liked what I was able to show him with the epic. He's so much happier now with his nexus s its cute :3
[Epic 4G General] truthisee:
well you might be able to get the best of both worlds with the possible epic 2 SPH-705
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
Nah. Its just dual core. No point in that with quads coming out. They took way too long for it :/
[Epic 4G General] christophocles:
+1. Waiting for next qwerty superphone. Right now, nothing can replace the Epic.

The stock software always sucks. Just root and ROM it already. We have 99.9% functional ice cream sandwich now, you know.. :cool:
[Epic 4G General] kehlan:
Galaxy S 3 is going to have a quad-core.
[Epic 4G General] darkierawr:
After the One X was there ever any doubt?
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
Hehe, not Tmo's. Read it on the Twitterz today.
[Epic 4G General] stir fry a lot:
I still like mine, just wish the screen was bigger. I aslo wish Sprint's service didn't suck so bad.
[Epic 4G General] chapski:
I have owned this phone since it first came out and its been the worst phone I've had. The keyboard and bluetooth have been my biggest problems. I have spent hours learning how to root the phone just to try and make this experience better, and it has made it tolerable. Then they come out with another attempt at an upgrade and it breaks the gps along with not fixing any of the issues.

I root the phone and get ice cream sandwich rom and it fixes all the problems with it!

Now how is it the manufacture of this phone can't fix any of the issues but someone on here is gracious enough to fix it and make it better? I will never ever buy a Samsung product, ever.
[Epic 4G General] thomasskull666:
The Samsung technicians working on this phone are a.) getting paid to do so, they don't care if it works 100%, sure there's QA but things slip by easily and b.) they don't actually use this phone on a daily basis or even enough to notice the faults. Us developers are constantly improving the device to fit OUR needs, rather than the needs of someone sitting in a cubicle in Korea for 12 hours a day typing on his computer.

This is just a theory, of course.

My first Epic had a not-so-solid keyboard hinge like others in this thread, but my first replacement had a perfect hinge. Luck of the draw I suppose.

I concur with the majority of the users in this thread that this phone was and still is one of the best Android phones ever created and is still withstanding the testament of time. I will get a Galaxy Nexus to see what it's like and play with it, but I can almost entirely guarantee that I'll be sticking with the Epic as my daily use device. I won't jump ship until we get 4 cores and a keyboard, which doesn't seem to be any time soon. :-(

Longest post I've had on XDA in a loooong time lol
[Epic 4G General] kainppc6700:
Perhaps it was underappreciated - I don't run into anyone else with an Epic, although I do have a friend with the Verizon version of the GalaxyS, the one with two screens and he somehow says he hates it and would rather use an IPhone. I would too if I were him running stock, and that is the biggest killer of smartphones today is that they are almost unusable right outta the box. The Epic sucked too until it got some custom ROM love, and now it is infinitely better and is almost ideal (with the exception of a few bugs native to android). That juicy keyboard and fast (overclocked) 1Ghz Hummingbird are a great, and the SuperAMOLED display is even better than CRT. Unlike other people, I actually like that the softkeys at the bottom time out after a while.

We use what could be one of the best phones ever invented on a daily basis.

- 2 Bunny
[Epic 4G General] orlzzt:
Good to see Thomasskull on the boards!! And I agree with the 99% ; I love my Epic and have no desire to switch...yet. I don't know if "underappreciated" is the right adjective; it definately didn't seem to get the hoopla that the OG Evo got (being the first device to support 4G) and then right after the Epic, the Evo 3D snagged the press.

I guess someday the majority of the support will transition to new devices. (A new Epic 2??) And we old timers will pack up and move- but this experience in the Epic community will never be matched. Our devs and users are, were, and always will be special....
[Epic 4G General] matrixzone5:
The hardware of our phines were upposed to be so much better we ewere supposed to get the new hummingbird and 712mb of ram but sprint dulled down the specs so it wudnt compete with the evo the og epic was supposed to be the galaxy pro
[Epic 4G General] superman54:
We had a rough start with the slow updates when it first came out, but now I love this phone. I don't see any reason to upgrade anytime soon. The Epic does everything I need it to. The XDA community has helped it stay alive :D
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Kerpal1:
I'm using flashplayer(stock-browser) and mplayer to listen to radio streams but after 5 minutes of joy the stream drops.

How can i fix this?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Diknak@gmail.com:
Is the tablet going in suspended mode or is the screen staying on? If the screen goes off, the device will stop apps from consuming battery by continuing to run.

Also note that it doesn't go into full suspend as soon as the screen turns off; it might be a couple of minutes later.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Kerpal1:
No the screen stays on.I will try an app that doesn't put the tablet in suspend mode.

Non succesfull sometimes 3 min. or 5 then i got kicked again.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Kerpal1:
Today jwplayer on a random website was on my list to test.

Max 3 minutes then the vid stream stopped again.

Anyone else having problems with streaming audio and vids on this tablet?

Could it be a Honeycomb/Android bug ?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] NoSudo:
I have had some odd issues with the Wifi deciding to drop and reconnect. It caused stuff like you are seeing.

Im guessing the fix is going to be a patch. The work around I used that has so far eliminated the issue was just just change from DHCP to Static for that Wifi connection after connecting.

No idea if this will relate to what you are experiencing without more information. Its an easy thing to try however.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] 6stringandy:

Hi there, I'm looking to get started with some basic editing of the UI on my galaxy nexus and have not found any place to start. Can someone point me in the right direction?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
What I would suggest is to download one of the themes in the apps and themes forum. Dig through the zip and see which files they modified.

The two apk's that are usually modified are:

SystemUI.apk located in system/app

Framework-res.apk located in system/framework

There is also a lot of info here: http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=527

Good Luck!

nova launcher

i want to eliminate the dock and have an 8x7 grid as well as make the folders appear on the sides. also want to be able to explore options in there on what i can tweak
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Screwedupsmitty:
Above is the basic paths, but if you really want to go in balls deep let me recommend APK multi tool. It allows you to quickly decompile APKs like systemui and modify them and then recompile and push them to your phone without too much trouble. Shouldn't bee too much trouble to set up if you know what your doing and already have ADB installed on your PC.

I live in miami beach and as far as my research can tell, there shouldn't be a WiMax signal in South Beach. But I happened to flash back to a 2.3 sense rom for a few minutes and realized I was getting a 4g connection. This was after multiple restarts and even a wipe/reflash.

I don't think it's a carrier gimmick (like T-mobile's G2 always showing H+ all the time.) But I'm for sure getting faster internet.

Damn dude, that version of Android is ancient. Just update it to kb2 (the last official 2.2) or kk4 the official 2.3 update. Both allow this option in settings without the need to even root. Not to mention the performance boost you'll get from a newer version of Android.

I want to get rom manager free. I can only get the paid version in market. I bought the paid version and wants me to install the free version.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
no need for rom manager at all that app really isnt very useful on galaxy devices, when it installs cwm all it does is download the attached update.zip and flashes it. everything else such as backing up and such can be done from within recovery itself.

grab this zip put it on the root of the sdcard and boot into recovery, go to reinstall packages twice and that will boot you into cwm. wherein you can flash cm7 :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tking0036:
Just update....

Download kies: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SGH-I897ZKAATT

then flash a custom kernel with odin... Then you can install cm7 or 9 or anything else you want
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolltide1995:
