I absolutely love it! Kit kat is pretty fantastic. Android has come leaps and bounds and had truly matured. Astounding os that has incredible polish with this release.

The phone itself is wonderful, surprisingly light, yet very solid construction. I wish the speakers were a bit louder, and my battery life this first day is less than I was hoping for... But, the battery should steadily improve (I also used navigation for an hour this morning while not plugged in).

The camera is my only complaint... But I've heard software should be released soon to rectify that
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] WhiteZero:
Picking up my LG G2 today after work. Goodbye Epic, my first Android phone of 2.5 years. It's been a pleasure, and a curse. Maybe I'll put you to use as a surveillance cam or something.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Let us know how it is, that's one phone I'm considering.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] moparfreak426:
Same here. I really want expandable memory but the g2 looks great spec wise, but id love a nexus for the quick updates so aosp roms will be butter smooth out of the box! :)

I just got the lgg2 yesterday and I am loving this thing so far. The s2 was a great phone, but this thing is just so fan smooth. I haven't rooted it yet since the sprint side of the forums is scattered. I can't wait to put some pa or aokp on it.

** did just root it, amazing how simple it is to root a device these days. Now just have to wait on some developers. We at least have a recovery so far, so things are looking good for it only being day three after release.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] WhiteZero:
What ROOT method did you use?

Anyway, I'm also digging the phone. It's a bit on the big side for me though. Otherwise, LG's stock ROM isn't too bad and the phone is blazing fast with spectacular battery life.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] borkan:
I used the method here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2519026

Farther down on that thread it links to drivers, and a recovery if you want/need.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
I'm very seriously considering picking one up... then can get to work on dev efforts. Just sucks it would be a new line to do it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] WhiteZero:
I've loved all your work on the Epic, so it would be an honor to see you grace the G2 with your Dev'ing presence :highfive:.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Guess you saw on the other post. See you over there soon - but I'll still have my E4GT!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] moparfreak426:
Dang it, everyone is going to the g2, I'll have to follow suit shortly... Then everyone will be on to the next device after that

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] optimummind:
Although the E4GT was my first smartphone, I cant honestly say it was a good phone overall. There were just too many annoying things about the E4GT ownership experience. The really poor stock battery life, really crappy GPS, lack of many choices when it came to cases and extended batteries, touchscreen input response lag, etc. :p

My favorite experience and joy of owning the E4GT was when sextape would release many leaks and garwynn and the others would get to work on it for our testing and enjoyment. :D

I'm currently on the GS4 and the Nexus 5 and waiting on the wifey & mom to upgrade to the Note 3. :) As for me, the GS5 will most likely be my next phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FuMMoD:
I'm going to miss these forums and the great developers here! Got my Nexus 5 yesterday and I am so happy to have it! Catch you guys in the cafeteria! Whoever gets a Nexus 5 see you there!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] moparfreak426:
I switched to s3 and still lurk and keep up with tje old e4gt. Only reason i switched was for nfc, which i dont even use! So.... I miss actually participating in the e4gt forums.... All i got was a 0.32" i think bigger display and a 300mhz faster processor. Not much of an upgtafe if u ask me

I finally have NFC with my G2, but now I'm just missing the NFC tags to use so I can stop depending on tasker to do everything.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stonesaber:
My Moto X on Vzw will be in my hands today, but I'm gonna keep my ET4G for my flashoholic ways.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ctanferno22:
Goodbye E4GT

Never thought this day would come but I went to Sprint today and got myself a Nexus 5. Had my doubts at first especially about the lack of SD card but I don't even miss it and the Nexus is leaps and bounds better than the E4GT.

That being said, It was my first smartphone and I will always love it to death.

Thank you to all the developers you guys kept this phone alive much longer than I thought.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
How is the Moto X? I haven't heard much talk about it other than the voice commands.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stonesaber:
I really like it. I also bought a Droid Maxx which is the same internals but bigger battery and screen that I like more than the X. Development is pretty much non-existent though, but it's such a good phone that it's really not needed in my opinion. Root and xposed framework is all that's needed. The X's form is one of the best around and the active notifications are awesome. I know we have active notifications on the s2 as well, but they're not nearly as seamless as the X. As stated in just about every review, the camera isn't the best, but it's not terrible either. All in all, I'm very satisfied with it and the Maxx.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Camera is kinda important to me, is it at least as good as the E4GT? As long as its as good I can deal. I'm looking into upgrading off contract and the Moto X is relatively cheap and I've always liked Motorola's build quality.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stonesaber:
I can't tell a huge difference in the photo quality. I'll take some comparison shots tomorrow in the daylight and post 'em up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stonesaber:
Here's the comparison shots. The first 2 are regular shots with the s2. Then 3 non hdr from the moto x and then 2 hdr shots from the moto. I have found that using hdr gets the best shots overall. I included the shot where the tie fighter is blurry in one of the moto shots because it shows the detail of the background.

The s2 is a little better in this set when facing the sun, but the hdr shot from the moto is pretty close.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] moparfreak426:
Samsung definitely has more color
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Looks close enough to keep me satisfied
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nivron:
I know my girlfriend moved from a NS4G to the LG G2 because the Moto X was so slow taking pictures. The quality was good but it was really slow to actually take the photo.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] moparfreak426:
I'm trying to hold off for 64 bit androids or Motorola project ara to take off to upgrade now
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] so1285:
Been lurking and posting sporadically here and there, but I'm definitely missing the E4GT community. Made the switch to the LG-G2 on black friday when it was free, and I'm definitely enjoying the camera and better battery life (and the speed). Honestly feel like the phone isn't getting much of a fair shake in the market. I still have my E4GT, and I'll be playing with it from time to time. Will still be stopping by to see how things are :)

Happy new year everyone!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asd87:
Well I'm taking my contact to T-Mobile and having them pay the ETF. I've been planning on switching and now is my time. Yeah I gotta trade my phone in but hey, I'll be getting an N5.

Just want to say thanks to ALL of the devs here that made it worth keeping this phone so long (the longest I've ever had a phone).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yellowman82:
Can you let me know how it goes? I'm debating on going to tmobile now with that new thing they have going on about paying out your etf.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asd87:
Well I have my N5 and all went smoothly. I just need to send them a copy of my last bill so they can pay the ETF.

I mailed out my E4GT (they gave me the packaging and label). Once you port your number over, the Sprint phone will be automatically disconnected. Loving my N5 so far, even if I do miss Super Amoled blacks and colors.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yellowman82:
How's the speed coverage is it good? I'm in Miami I'm hoping I don't make the wrong move with tmobile
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asd87:
I'm getting pretty good speeds. 15mbps. On Sprint I only got 4 max on wimax. I'm sure other areas around here will be better.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] third son:
After two years on the E4GT I have moved on to the Nexus 5....You guys (and gals) have been super! I will flash rooted GB27 on my workhorse and put it on craigslist....Hope to see you folks on other forums as time goes by....

All good things must come to an end....that's the same with the wildwood weed.....Jim Stafford
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FuMMoD:
Join me in the Nexus side! Lol

You should switch to metro pcs in Miami or t-mobile with the etf deal they have. These are my speeds on Metro/t-mobile.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Just ordered my Sprint S3 (off contract), it will be here in the next couple days. But I still have two E4GTs so I'll still be around.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] moparfreak426:
Im about to drop my s3 for a lg g2
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
I'm out, on note 3 but keeping the e4gt for development purposes so you'll still see me kicking around as I have time
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yellowman82:
Why the S3? Its so old
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] moparfreak426:
Hey now, i use an s3....lol.it is an old device now but it's still a good one. We have very stele kitkat builds
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yellowman82:
Yea but its still old lmao i mean heck the s5 is about to come out i could understand if it was the s4 atleast maybe even the tri band version if your planning to keep it for awhile idk i guess whatever floats his boat i just couldn't see myself jumping from an s2 to an s3 when theres an s4 and other better devices.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] moparfreak426:
Yeah i see. I kick myself alot for going from e4gt to s3 just cuz its really not much of an upgrade at all. It gets nfc u have to mod to use, and a little bit bigger screen and little bit bigger battery
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yellowman82:
I see your getting the g2 your gonna love that device lol i have the lg g flex and i love it the battery is insane on this phone lg really did good with the g2 and flex.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] moparfreak426:
Oh yeah. I cant wait. Ill probably get a g2 whenever a co worker gets back from indiana and hell buy my s3 for 250 then if i can get a g2 for around 300 or less in decent condition, i wont be out much
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TJj33p3rz:
I couldn't help myself either yesterday radio shack had the gs3 on sale for 250.00.So far I like it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
The S3 is the newest phone my carrier (FreedomPop) supports, I like my $20 phone bill and need a new phone because my power button is dead, I like to stay off contact. I got the S3 for $175 and can't really consciously pay more than that for a device. I can mod a phone to have the features I want for the most part so why drop all that money for a few bells and whistles? Maybe one day I'll drop a bunch on the latest and greatest but I would rather spend the money on my family at this point in time. My wife is a full time student right now so we're on a budget.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] moparfreak426:
I respect you ryan
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TJj33p3rz:
I'm on virgin mobile it was regular 350.00 was on sale until 03/06 for 249.99 I'm just that way always have to change.Awesome work you all do here.I've learned a lot.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
OK guys... I am officially not doing support in the E4GT section. I will only maintain threads that I am the OP of. I no longer have the device and have moved over to the S4, Note 3 and Nexus 7 (2013 sections. It's been great guys. I really mean it. If it wasn't for this section, I would have never gotten to where I am with the forums. Look me up in the cafeteria. :beer:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] moparfreak426:
Saying goodbye to my s3 now! LG G2,here i come
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
This is my official goodbye, on my way home where my new S3 is waiting. I'll still support all my threads and hang out in the Cafeteria, but I probably won't be helping out in the Q&A section unless I'm bored. Farewell and good luck to all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cuezaireekaa:
Enjoy the new phones guys. Keep on doing yer thing Ryan!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jshugzda:
Just got a gs3 and sold my epic touch. Thank you all for your great roms, help and support!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] H4rryTipp3r:
I just switched to AT&T yesterday and got the new One M8. I wasn't really much of a talker around here, but I did read a lot of the conversations. Thanks for all of the help, support and ROMs from you all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kchannel9:
Omg you guys, it finally happened...my 2nd E4GT died randomly and was utterly unfixable, I think the mobo may have gone bad...

So I got a Note 2 off eBay for $200, it's an amazing phone. Such wow.

So until my lady's E4GT dies or she wants to switch, I'll still have one around, but I'll be hanging out over in SPH-L900 landia more often than here most likely. It was/is a great subcommunity to be a part of, I really enjoyed it.

;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
I'm still here! My E4GT will get some well needed use over the next few weeks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FuMMoD:
Please don't toss it! let me dissect it!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gorei23:
Welp. I'm not a huge presence here but I had my E4GT stolen. Lucky bastard, it had 4.4 Villuminati and an extended battery.

I don't know what phone I'll get now, I kinda want a Note (Or Mega) Or maybe a Google Nexus. (Any Advice?!)

I might still pop in but the E4GT forums are dying anyway.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bestrooted:
Buying a Sprint galaxy S3 and will be running it on Boost since they started activating several Sprint phones .I have to retire my EP4G due to broken power button and screw has crack over soft keys. I enjoyed my time here until we meet again
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmike6200:
You will be missed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] woodz93:
carrier issues

sprint (im on boost, same network). network is bad, that goes without saying, but in hawaii it is

truly

bad....endless promises of sprint spark 'in six months'... considering my usage i can hop on another mvno and pay the same rate with TRUE 4g (wimax has nothing on lte). junk, i was hoping to get an s3 on boost, but what use is it if lte dont work... so i snatched an unlocked s4 att broke screen fully functional off ebay and bought a new digitizer lcd frame for it....new phone for less than 200 (once i sell off my e4gt)...

that being said, i love my e4gt. just retarded carrier issues. my wife still has an e4gt though, so ill tinker with that :good:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmike6200:
This phone ain't dead yet. Still getting new ROMs, like Liquid Smooth and Dirty Unicorns 4.4.4 just unveiled this week. Don't throw in the towel yet. :laugh:.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gorei23:
But I don't have the device D:

I still respond to my thread here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] billfog:
Sadly saying goodbye to this phone

This phone has served me well for 3 years, Great reception, fun roms and plenty of power to run anything.

When I got a tablet this phone was even better in my pocket as a phone phone with just a few apps. Fit in my pocket well..

I have just broken my third screen on this device and now it is the end of the road. I have been off contract for while now and decided to upgrade.

My dilema is do I go with a note 3 or a s5? Either one will relegate my tablet to the nightstand for netflix or xbmc...

Or I could just go cheap with an S3 and keep carrying around 2 devices...

Ugh...

Either way I bid a fond farewell to the galaxy epic 4g touch....

Thanks for all the fun and the roms....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
That's what I did. Went with the S3 and stayed off contact. If you were satisfied with the E4GT, you'll love the S3... They're running for $100-$150 on Amazon. I'm using Ting for service.

My ROM: WICKED X
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Surj138:
Well guys, my e4gt finally died on me... Soft-bricked while flashing cm11 and was left with a blank CWM with no selectable options... Normally recoverable but my usb port has been dead for months (meaning no Odin). It's been a great community, much love
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daddyodizzel:
S2 soon to retire

Well folks looks it almost is time for myself to move on unfortunately. I know a good bit of ya'll don't know me, I actually would port these rom since I had an Alltel SCH-R760 so thank you for those that developed these beautiful roms. My phone from AT&T just arrived a few moments ago. Already sat up ready to go. So know, I just play the waiting game for my phone to activate here in Feb. Again, I just wanted to thanks all of you, that have help me, whether direct or indirect. May this phone keep on living!

Cheers,

I forgot to say goodbye....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ingoljosh:
I said goodbye to the E4GTouch before this thread got started. i still have the device but its not my daily driver.

I moved on to the LG G2 and now the G3

the E4GT was truly one of the greats and ahead of its time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chrisyroid:
So long.

This morning my Epic got stuck at the Samsung boot screen. When I rebooted, I got the blue light of death. So long Epic 4G Touch. You will be missed. We've had some great times together and I hope you forgive me for continuously soft bricking you and sometimes throwing you to the bed in frustration when you rebooted for no reason or when you froze or locked up. :crying:

I am still using my E4GT...lol It's a freaking work horse using Calkulin's E4GT v3.0 ... but in about a week I'm going to activate my new phone so I'm gonna say good bye.. New phone being a Galaxy s5...lol I refuse to pay $700 for a s7. And as nice as they look, the no easy way to replace the battery was a no go for me.

I've still got expandable storage and replace batteries plus the phone is plastic, not all glass... so when I drop it which I will hundreds of times, it won't shatter and crack.

I'm probably going to change roms just to puts around on the E4GT just for old time sakes.

T mobile is actually cheaper with the calue plan and the speeds are SO good..

I'm on a S3 for now while my N4 gets here, the S3 is all around a great phone. Can'y wait for my N4.

Good bye! Great devs on here and overall great people..

I have two E4GT for sale in the market place!

Why when absolutely no one cares if you leave? The only time a person says good bye is when they will be missed. Trust me YOU WILL NOT BE MISSED. So like I said buy your new toy and don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Well I jumped ship also 50 bucks each is a steal. Got one for my wife and myself. This phone has been great but the main thing for me was crappy GPS it only worked on aokp ICS and the stock OS. Thanks epic4gtouch community for opening me up to the android device. On to the sgs3 :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rocket321:
Got my s3 ordered through sprint retentions for 99cents. Looking forward to the device since it has jb ota and is a CM official device already.

Mostly did it because I need the cash I can get from selling my s2,enjoyed this phone and community almost as much as the og epic forum.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] demetrios3:
How did you get Sprint to do that? Was your contract up?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] datajosh:
My S3 is out for delivery right now... it's been fun but I'm looking forward to having a new device to play with!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Exit_Only:
The S3 is nothing worth buying. Stick with nexus devices in all future purchases.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Buda76:
I haven't been active on the E4GT section like I was on the Hero when I owned it. However I truly appreciate all the work the devs and everyone has done on this phone. I gave the E4GT to my roommate and gave his phone to my sister. This way I can control their upgrade and use them for myself in case I want to get a different phone before my next upgrade is due. :D

I got the Note II and am loving it so far. I didn't think I'd use the s-pen at all but I find myself using it more and more.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yellowman82:
I do agree that the S3 is well IMO outdated and not really worth upgrading but im pretty sure alot of folks wouldn't want the nexus since it lacks a sd slot and removable battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Exit_Only:
Ya true but it is quad core and getting straight from Google updates. :) its a pros and cons thing.

yea the note 2 is a beast I also fell in Love with the Pen I barely use my keyboard now LOL and the Most part I Love about this Beast is the Battery. I Just took these now light Moderate use

Good bye

I know I haven't been much of a poster but a reader. I enjoyed almost every rom for my E4GT and loved some and didn't love others. Anyway, I jumped phones and phone company so I am oficially saying Good Bye. Thanks to all developers and forum members in general for been such a nice group of awesome people. I have been reading and flashing roms in the Verizon GS3 forum since a month ago and don't think to come back so nice to meet you all

The best wishes for you and you loved ones in these holidays and ever

Nexus 4 has been ordered. God knows when it will actually get here but its still Goodbye. This was one of the best phones I've owned, I just needed to size down my budget and my bill had to go.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Buda76:
Yeah, the battery life still amazes me. Forget to plug it in at night... no problem as there is still plenty of battery life the next morning. :D However with the size I'm dead set on finding a good car mount and some desktop docks which I've never done on any of my other phones in the past.

I used to think I got decent battery life on my E4GT stock battery... needless to say the Note II has spoiled me.
