There isn't one as fast or as good as the Epic 4g that also has a physical keyboard sadly. With its hummingbird chip there is nothing else out that can come close to it.
[Epic 4G General] MameJunkie:
For now...maybe Sprint is waiting for something to beat it before they release it? :rolleyes:

Check this out. Not sure how accurate it is, if at all.
[Epic 4G General] ScientificOne:
I doubt they release the phone on a Saturday...
[Epic 4G General] dthunder137:
I read something on the sprint forums from an employee that Sunday is normal, but Fri/Sat is not unheard of as a push back date if it is a major release.

Found the quote-

Sprint usually launches phones on Sunday, big name launches happen on Friday or Saturday occasionally. This is because the entire week leading up to the launch, the phones can be shipped to the store to ensure there is adequate supply (or as many as they can in some cases).

community.sprint.com/baw/message/200591#200616

But, Sprint employees seem horribly confused about phone releases...
[Epic 4G General] ScientificOne:
Don't believe everything you read on these forums...apparently the phone was supposed to be out last week! :D
[Epic 4G General] dthunder137:
I don't believe anything anywhere until I get an email saying "come buy me". I am sprint premier and on the first to know list and until I receive that email, I don't believe it. That is from Sprints message board, hopefully the people they pay to troll those sites know a bit about what they are talking about. Hopefully...
[Epic 4G General] LiberatorUSA:
My German is a bit rusty but,.. I think the complete post reads....

"I'm in Miami right now.... What did I do first? exactly... asked in a Sprint store.. 4 to be exact and they all told me it arrives between the 11'th and the 16'th... ;)

Although: One thought it was already out but not yet in THIS store... so its about to get going ;) I look forward to it... I promise I'll speak out and post as soon as I have one in hand"

Some person on androidcentral said aug 21 and posted this pic:

Should we believe it?
[Epic 4G General] ScientificOne:
Yeah, we've discussed this in another thread (or maybe it was this one a few pages back?) but I don't believe it. I'm not sold it will be released on a Saturday and the guy also posted that sprint would announce the release date of Aug 21 "any minute" now...which of course hasn't happened. I won't believe it until I go to the store and pick one up for myself...LOL

Actually, I think this person has the correct release date:

Looks like this will be the Epic4g's challenger :cool:

Note: R2-D2 will be in Verizon stores this Thursday. If Sprint was wise, they would/should release their offering on the 11th (tomorrow) to take out some of the Droid 2's steam.
[Epic 4G General] ImSoHungry:
Challenger? I do not think it will even be a close battle between the two.

Sent from my Nextel™ using the XDA app
[Epic 4G General] Sebrina:
The Epic's screen combined with a Hummingbird and it's GPU will crush the Droid 2 without much problem. On paper it's a beast time will tell but Droids we've seen already not very impressive.
[Epic 4G General] robl45:
and the droid 2 actually looks nice, the epic looks like a piece of crap and the touchcrap interface makes it look worse. if it wasn't for sprint being so cheap, everyone would have a droid 2 and it looks like most will as sprint is just screwing around until there is a better phone and the epic will be a never was.
[Epic 4G General] ImSoHungry:
Troll is trolling
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Thats personal opinion...While I do think the Epic could look nicer..it definitely looks better then the Droid 2..that thing looks ugly >.>..(and this has nothing to do with you bashing the Epic, I never liked the look of the original Droid either since Day 1)

As for the interface, have you even tried it? the Touchwiz 3 interface is ONLY on the Galaxy S devices..so if you tried their earlier revision its completely different...I actually like it more then sense and motoblur...but again thats my personal opinion.

And lastly..the Specs on the Epic run circles around the Droid 2...(This is fact)

Can you even think of 1 thing that makes the Droid 2 better?
[Epic 4G General] koolhand79:
what kind of processor does the Droid 2 use?? I agree on paper the Epic will dominate it, but sales wise i dont think it stands a chance. Especially with Verizon/Motorolas aggressive ad campaign.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
IT uses the OMAP processor which is also 45nm and is pretty good..but the Hummingbird is still better..the GPU on the Epic is also better then the Droid 2...but the marketing on the Droid 2 obviously eats the Epic alive :/

P.S Sprint themselves probably don't know the difference between 2 1ghz processors...
[Epic 4G General] Sebrina:
Campains are only good for uneducated users and impulse buyers, I would never buy a phone based on how many times you run it and try to brainwash me but that doesn't mean someone else won't. You can run even the best of the best marketing like Apple does this still doesn't improve the phone at all it just makes it a favorite to the popular crowd and impulse buyers.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Unfortunately impulse buyers make up the majority by a wide margin...
[Epic 4G General] Sebrina:
Sadly you are correct, but that still doesn't improve the phone in anyway just makes for alot of unhappy customers after 30days if they get that far.
[Epic 4G General] koolhand79:
To be fair the Droid X/2 are good phones so i don't think people will be disappointed after 30 days. The Epic may be slightly better, but its not like they are advertising crap. They are showing off their best phones as they should.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Yes they are..a Droid X/Droid 2 is better then an EVO spec wise for example...

The fascinate will come out for verizon but if you wanted a qwerty phone for Verizon Droid 2 would be your phone...If your on verizon and you can't wait till the fascinate then the Droid X would be your phone
[Epic 4G General] DevilDogVIKING:
everyone is mentioning how the epic is better than the droid 2, but your also forgetting one more thing that puts the epic way over the top of droid 2....its 4G!!
[Epic 4G General] robl45:
what are you? 15 or so, I simply stated what I thought, thats not trolling.
[Epic 4G General] robl45:
yea, that is an advantage for sure, if you have 4G. meanwhile sprint lost more customers as they still haven't released their phone while verizon has.

Has anyone on the east coast gone to a Sprint store today and bugged them to see if they have any new news? Or, Sprint willing, actually have this phone for sale?

[Epic 4G General] boinger66:
im on the east coast currently and i called the sprint store 2 of em today ... they said within the year and one said in late sep
[Epic 4G General] robl45:
if they don't hit an august release, I'll be getting an evo. or I'll just wait for the next phone. Epic is 2 months going on 3 months obsolete already. So will they offer me a 21 month contract instead?
[Epic 4G General] orateam:
i feel bad for those of you that are waiting and don't get it within a month. Samsung's Galaxy Line is truly a LEAP ahead of the competition. As a former iphone user, this phone is just so good, it's not even fair. If it weren't for the apps on iphone, it would be garbage.
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
Looks Like it Getting Closer!!!!

On the sprint home page they moved the samsung epic up to the top of the thingy here: http://sprint.com/index_c.html
[Epic 4G General] DevinXtreme:
This is gonna be a weird request, but can you take a screenshot of that? I've never been able to see what the new Sprint homepage looks like in Linux. And link to whatever it takes you to?

I'm trying to flash a ROM that'll take me from 2.1 to 2.2

I've looked around for a way to be able to flash a ROM while still keeping your messages intact, but I haven't been able to do it. I've been able to specifically restore SMS data with Titanium after flashing, but sadly this makes the messaging service force close whenever I try to use it.

Anyone know of a working way to keep your messages after wiping to flash a ROM? I find it annoying to have to look at an empty inbox every time after flashing a ROM :( and plus, I'm kinda nostalgic. Any help would be nice.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbgmode:
I recall my backup pro, yet I have noticed that the ROMs based of the stock are able to restore, there is a folder on the SDCARD called Backup which I think contain the settings and messages it restores during initial setup, there also is a application called setup on those ROMs have not tried yet what if you flash rosie, launcher2, and the setup just to see if it works (not setting it as the default launcher of course or just after setup if you are not able to use home screen rm files using adb)
[Captivate Accessories] V DidDy 210:
The best part is you all have one!

just get a dab of acetone and rub off the txt while driving text on the screen overlay that comes with the phone

it covers the phone exactly, is of heavy material, and if you clean it with some iKlear (or similar) it has a nice original glass feel
[Captivate Accessories] tytdfn:
Is it as smooth or close to the actual glass of the screen?
[Captivate Accessories] MikeyMike01:
For many people, the AT&T person ripped it off way before they got it.
[Captivate Accessories] cachookaman:
i used that for a week or so but it still attracted a lot of fingerprints. plus if you hold the phone at an angle you can still see the outline of the text. i bought a $5 full body skin from ebay and it works great.
[Captivate Accessories] V DidDy 210:
it sucks if they got rid of it, but it covers it edge to edge, and did you use acetone or nail polish remover?

while npr is technically acetone, it is heavily diluted. acetone you'd get at wally world or a paint shop (it's like 3-5 bucks) will completely remove it, no streaks or remnants (be a little liberal with the amount of acetone on the cloth)

I used iKlear after i dried off the acetone to give it a nice shine and feel. I did this all without even taking the thing off the phone. acetone is safe enough to not remove the clearcoated finish of the phone should it spill over.

YMMV but it seems like the best deal because it is free
[Captivate Accessories] iamamp3pimp:
I left mine on as well.

I ended up scraping it off with a rag, i can still see the remnants as well.

perhaps ill give it a good clean.
[Captivate Accessories] djfotizo:
good for a little chuckle...

Seriously though.. GREAT idea... I wish I would have been the one who thought of it. Mine still had it on too. I ended up using gadget guard full skin to get me to this point and will probably leave it on when I can get a good TPU case for it. I think Amzer is shipping theirs out tomorrow.

If any already exist or if this is even possible any news would be wonderful

How does the iPhone app work? most remotes are infrared, and the iPhone doesn't have an IR port.

I can't see how it would work without bluetooth/WiFi built into the camera.
[Android Apps and Games] no1male:
The camera has to be constantly connected to a laptop or Desktop via USB Cable.

You then have to install a server onto the Laptop/Desktop and that is how the Ip/Itouch controls the camera.

Was excited by the idea until i did a bit more reading. Shame really would be a good idea if it could be done without the need for anything to be physically attached to the camera.
[Android Apps and Games] Tachikoma_kun:
Makes sense, I thought it might have been one of those IR plugs you plug into the headphone jack. You play back an audio file that is translated by the IR plug into the right controls for the camera. You can make the IR plug thing for only a few $, I think there's a guide on Instructables.

Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you!

When you say the phone completely stopped working, what do you mean? You can't even power it on? Or it comes on but just won't make calls, send texts, etc? Provide us with some more details please. Are you rooted? If so, what ROM were you using? etc. etc.

Also, did you install any new apps lately? Some cases of this FC error have to do with an installed app that is malfunctioning, and simply uninstalling the troubled app, then rebooting, will solve this.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuffdadsf:
I am having the same trouble, but my phone started by saying that I was running out of space, though I hadn't installed anything new. I am thinking it is with the latest Facebook update. The battery runs out fast and the phone has filled up and now it's crashing.

I think I am going to uninstall the FB update and see how that goes.

The newest Facebook version does drain the battery really fast -- it basically prevents the phone from sleeping. See this post on how to fix it: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7572716&postcount=948

Or of course, just totally uninstalling FB would fix that too :D
