Here You Go, Guys...

Based on Stryke's guidance, here's the info:

The insurance company is Worth Ave Group, policy cost me ~$60 for 12 months, which can be renewed annually, or purchased for a 2-year term. That was for my son's Note 2, so the price for an E4GT could be less.

You can Google the insurance company name and see if you are comfortable with them. You will also likely find a promo code.

What I like about the policy is that it covers accidental damage, water damage, busted hardware/internals, even stolen phones (you have to file a police report). You can also file multiple times during the same year (ie, no policy limit of liability). There are other providers out there, so please do your homework.

Having any independent insurance policy for your phone means that you aren't a slave to a retailer or mobile carrier's replacement insurance.

[Check the metrics--replacement value/premium/deductible--of a mobile provider or retailer's offerings, and compare it to, say, your car insurance, and see how insanely lopsided the pricing on mobile provider or retailer offerings can be.]

The repair place with which they have contracted is CPR Cell Phone Repair, and the franchise for the Gulf Coast can be found here. The owner and franchise rep for our area of Florida is smart, and knows how to run a business (ie, helpful employees, flexible hours, people actually answer the phone, even provides concierge service if needed). As the place is a franchise chain, the customer experience could be different for other parts of the US.

You will pay out of pocket for the repair, but Worth Ave will cut you a check for the entire amount minus the $50 deductible within a few days.

Same-day repair, no mailing, relatively hassle-free experience.

I hope this is helpful.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stangdriver44:
I feel your pain! Just got my new refers less than a week ago with nothing but issues from fresh out of the box random reboots to now a completely broken power button. Took it back to sprint to get checked and tech tells me Corp had sent out a company wide fix for this on this phone. Guess what the fix is? He tells me since these phones are staring to recycle now and being opened up, the bottom is not fitting tight as it should. Now wait for it... Tech says he is going to put tape between the button cover and the button! Do we think this worked? No, my 2nd replacement should be here this week. Btw, does anyone know anything about sprint offering an upgraded equipment for defective device.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JCompMan:
Well, not to be the bearer of bad news...

You'll get upgraded if Sprint does not sell this phone. Unfortunately, they still do sell the D710. If I was you, I'd call sprint to see if they'll upgrade you, mentioning you had issues with your phone that's no fault of your own but is hindering your use of the phone. ( NOTE: this is just a suggestion on my part ).

I had a problem with sprint referbs awhile back, if your persistant and patient with being on hold for a looooong time, you can talk to reclamation (i think) department and with me they just gave me a new current model phone. I had to pay for it up front then they reembersed me on the next bill. If noone wants to help, threatening to drop your plan usually works.

(Guess you cant edit a post with the xda app) I think its ridiculous with how much sprint charges vs their coverage what they make you go thru to replace a phone. (Sorry for the off-topic post)

Can anyone be kind enough to tell me if the Black and Blue v2 variation supports 360 degree rotation,and if so how to enable it?

Thanks. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] btvolta:
Ryan, I've got an idea. Couldn't you create a Goodness X using a previous Goodness Rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
You can add 360 rotation support to almost any ROM by adding the following line to build.prop, save, and then reboot:

windowsmgr.support_rotation_360=true

I have 270 degrees enabled, but I find 360 annoying sometimes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Maybe... I haven't used that ROM in a LONG time. If I remember right there is a team working on updating it, they may be busy, but I'm not going to step on toes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wizardknight:
I added that code, and I am not getting any 360 degree rotation. I tried putting that line at the end of the file, and in the middle with no change. I tried a wipe, and clean load with this build.prop too.

Would you double check the file for me please?

Thank you.

Also I have a second question. Any reason why this rom would copy files over usb very slowly? I am getting about 1.3-1.5mb/s with long pauses when I would get 4-6mb/s on ReCalked v1.3.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Did you check md5sum? I get 16+mb/s with my 32GB Class 10. Could also be your cable going south.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wizardknight:
Yes. The MD5s match. I can live with the slower speeds, but I would like to know why the 360 degree rotation is not behaving.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Sorry, I'm working on another ROM right now, I'll check it out tomorrow. I don't think the launcher has support for the 360 rotation tho, now that I think about it.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] btvolta:
I replaced my phone due to LED not working, and I assumed the problem was the phone. However, when I did a nand restore, my LED stopped working again. So, I clean installed barebones and didn't flash Transcendent or missing link and the LED works fine. I was using both of those mods on the other setup, so I need to isolate which one of the 2 caused the problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] micmars:
My LEDs work fine on JV4 and The Missing Link; I flashed Transcendent once and just loved it, but I had such little time left to tinker (never try new mods right before work) and move around apps to regain system space, that I had to roll back. I'll give it another go this weekend, since it was so damn awesome, but take my time with it.

My guess is that the LEDs are due to one of the changes from Transcendent.

Sent from my SPH-D710 using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] btvolta:
Yes I think so too. I have used missing link since I first discovered it and never had problems in the past. I love Transcendent though. Transcendent does change the slider controls for the LED settings so I wonder if that has something to do with it? Maybe it is turning them off even though I set it to on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Judging from the files in it it was made for the Note 2.

lol, there are quite a few files pulled from the note 2 version, but ia added nothing control wise from the note 2. the only thing i transferred were (resized and modded) .png files, which i pushed back into the the original E4GT framework-res.apk, im not sure why your losing led, i know in my version of 3minit the check buttons (on/off are set by if the option wwas already on and the toggle was off, means it turns it off if the toggle is checked) which can be confusing. It could also be lack of system space not making the notifications leds function properly.. ??? dunno.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] erikalin:
Hey Ryan et al, Why am I seeing what's in these screenshots? I don't see mention in the thread, so it's something on my end. I clean flashed latest version 3.6. This is all I've done: deleted some apps, and used 3minit settings to modify four things: set a status bar image, center clock, change battery icon set, and remove alarm notification. Dat's all. I'll flash the ROM again and not do anything, but any idea why this?

Edit: I'm asking why white-on-white, how this could have happened. No big deal - I'm going to reflash the ROM, but would love to know what could make these changes. When I play around with theming it takes forever to change things like this, lol.

I hate to start with the basics, but could it be that you get those annoying pop-ups everywhere because Samsung plants them everywhere, and until you've used and confirmed each bloody feature, they'll continue to appear, because each is different?

Not sure, but seem to remember the annoyance.

No, sorry. this is a theme issue. (EDIT: I know it's nothing wrong in the ROM just something that happened on my phone with this ROM.) I'm not asking why I have to confirm actions but that all of my toast messages and popups are white text on white background. As in, left box says cancel, right box says ok. Mine are all white on white. Obviously this isn't true for others using the ROM, but I've never seen anything like this. I'm just going to reflash the ROM and it'll be normal I'm sure. I was just curious how this could even have happened. Lol.

Like many complex systems, I would imagine a stepped sequence of learning curves applies (repetitive tasks, layering applied knowledge, steep at first, then a jump in ability until you max out, hit a wall, start green again, repeat tasks, apply knowledge, amp up abilities, hit wall, repeat).

Why does cool and yuck both seem fitting?

With chrome cast, are you able to stream videos from you PC using network tv websites such as abc.com or nbc.com? What about regular hulu, not Hulu plus.does it work with the network iphone apps such as the abc app or nbc app or watchespn?

Thanks!
[Google Chromecast] mrhomiec:
for apps, the app itself has to add the ability to cast anything.

whereas using your desktop/laptop, all you need is Chrome and the Google Cast extension. then you can cast any tab you want. this feature is still in beta though.
[Google Chromecast] DJames1:
Yes, most of that stuff works when you cast from Chrome running on your desktop. But it requires Chrome running on the desktop to re-encode and re-transmit the video stream continuously to your Chromecast rather than handing the stream over as happens with the native apps like Youtube and Netflix. That puts a heavy load on your desktop system, and all but the highest performing desktop systems will produce some frame dropping and video stuttering on the Chromecast. I have an overclocked quad-core i5-3570K running at 4.3 GHz, and it misses some frames and jerks a little even on the best streams. My old Core2 Duo dual-core E8400 running at 2.29 GHz can't even manage to stream 480p for more than a few seconds of jerky frames before it loses sync.
[Google Chromecast] EarlyMon:
My Core 2 Duo doesn't have that problem at all with regular Hulu.
