Thanks for the replies. First, HTC IME does have speech to text, but only in english. Choose another language and the mic button automatically becomes just a simple settings button. SO much for that...

As for Juniper's rant, I agree. I love Google. I mean, I'm a God damn fanboy! I live and breathe Google and have tried to convert all my friends and family and misc forum users to Google services whenever possible. But the fact that they mainly play for the big boys (English speaking countries) and always try their services in a fixed set of countries first, kinda annoys the hell out of me and makes me feel left out. ****, I even went as far as to buy a Nexus One online for almost double their worth because they didn't go on sale in Portugal for a very long time. I just consider myself lucky I was able to sell it on for a small profit despite the already ridiculously high price I had paid for it to begin with. But even after that I opted for a HTC Desire just because I wanted the best Android experience possible (at the time). I am a Google advocate. ****, Google has probably made (what to them must be a small amount but to normal folks would be) a metric ****load of money just on services bought by people I have recommended use Google over the past decade or so. Me, myself, I use Google for just about all my online needs from shopping to social networking. So no, this issue won't make me want to stop using Google, for sure, but it does make me feel my "relation" with Google is just that little bit less "special". They do tend to be biased and not support the little guys.

That said, I still have no solution to my question. Ideas?

Wondering what everyone's overnight battery drain is looking like. picked up mine on launch day and the first nights battery drain was only 9% but last nights battery drain was 27% i don't know if it was something i had running in the background or what. Wifi was also on both nights.
[Epic 4G General] Jsimon9633:
I've seen this type of issue but have not been able to pinpoint the true source of that big drain when its in sleep mode
[Epic 4G General] Fixter:
Applications. I'm sure of it.

I'm having the same exact issue.
[Epic 4G General] jim2point0:
Last night I went to bed with 11% and I woke up with 9% (7 hours of sleep).

The secret to almost 0 battery drain on your phone at night is to use juice defender + airplane mode. I set my juice defender's "night mode" for 1am - 6am, but you can mix that up based on your sleep schedule. Juice defender will disable data during that time.

I turn on airplane mode at night because nobody is going to be calling me when I'm sleeping. The only person that would is my fiance, and she sleeps next to me.

Juice defender almost helps battery life throughout the day. Also, make sure battery saving mode is checked under "display and sound settings." I've been experiencing phenomenal battery life so far. My 2nd charge went for 21 hours with 4 hours of screen on time.

I hope this helps :D
[Epic 4G General] 2.0t03speed:
yea i just started using juice defender got the paid version this morning so we will see how it goes tonight. i also have advanced task killer now which will kill no essential apps/functions when i turn the screen off. Hopefully battery life increases over my old palm pre lol. It's also doesn't help that at work i only get 0-2 bars inside so that kinda sucks my battery life down alot.
[Epic 4G General] Fixter:
Hmm.. Must be what is happening to me. I always have 2 bars where I live.
[Epic 4G General] larryccf:
i've got to wonder if inaccurate battery level reporting isn't part of the issue, and i don't just mean the battery icon in the top notification bar

some other posters have remarked how much life they had even after the low battery warning notification popped up. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=770207

after the first few weeks of use, once my battery had settle down, i was seeing 1-2% drain at night after taking mine off the charger at 11:00PM

i even took to putting it in airplane mode & turning off GPS - and it didn't affect the 1-2% drain

but every odd day it'll show 8 to 11% drain after a full charge and putting it to sleep at 11:00PM

the same with the radio signal strength indication given in settings - again, not the signal strength bars in the notification. When my signal strength is showing 0 & 0 asus, i can still make calls with no drop outs etc
[Epic 4G General] Jsimon9633:
look I understand and agree that juice defender and airplane mode help but lets be honest here

not all of us want to disable the phone to save battery. standby should not take this much battery even without the damn defender and schmender

something is going on thats draining battery

my evo did not do this at all even without defender or airplane mode :)
[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
This is true. Once the battery hits low levels, it must kick into super battery saver mode because it hangs in there like a champ. I was trying to murder the last of my battery so I could completely drain it all the way. At 6% I just loaded up a movie because that's a good battery drainer. It took an hour to hit 0%, and even then it didn't shut off.

Huh. I found that my EVO drained more battery life when idle than my Epic. Cell standby will kill your phone when idle if you don't have great signal. This is the reason behind airplane mode. Task killers will also drain your battery. Anything that runs in the background, really.
[Epic 4G General] ImSoHungry:
I'm running systempanel to monitor eerything and I noticed that the phones cpu is at 30% when sleeping with occasional spikes every few hours to 100%.

I also run tasker, and then both run in background...
[Epic 4G General] a454nova:
I just worked this morning from 10pm to 7:30am. Night shift at Wal-Mart. Went to work with 96% and ran Pandora all night, facebook, texting, net on breaks. Got home at 12%. About 10 hours of good use. I can live with that. But that's an example there.

How is the software on this phone? I am using a Touch Pro 2 on ATT but I want to switch to Sprint for one of the smart phones. I am trying to decide between Epic and Evo.

I've seen and played with both phones and both seem pretty equal to me. On first glance the Epic feels way lighter and cheaper than the Evo, and I didn't like the keyboard nearly as much as my TP2.

How is the Samsung software? I've never used a Sammy smart phone and I was wondering how their software compares? I've used HTC for the last 4 phones I've owned. With full root can you put HTC software on the epic phone?

Anything else I should be away of in making my decision to switch?
[Epic 4G General] done12many2:
I own all three and currently use the Epic which I just bought yesterday. I use the TP2 for tethering only on an additional line. I can tell you that switching from WM to Android has been fantastic. I was a WM junky and can't stand to use one now.

Initial impressions from EVO to Epic: The EVO is ever so slightly better in quality (build) and the EVO's HTC Sense is more to my liking than the Epic's UI. Other than that, the advantages of the Epic more than offset these and make it my preferred phone.

I don't care what anyone says, there is a huge difference between the image quality of the EVO and Epic. The EVO is bigger, but absolutely nowhere near as nice as the Epic's. Side by side, my wife (who could absolutely care less) preferred the Epic's screen. I didn't care about image quality either, until I had them side by side.

[EVO 4G General] illogic6:
You'd probably get better answers about TouchWiz in another forum, but I can say that I'm not a fan from what I've seen. It would drive me nuts not being able to change the four shortcuts on my homescreen.

The HTC Evo is CyanogenMod supported which, in my opinion, is a very strong selling point.

The HTC Evo also has Froyo. The Galaxy S phones have yet to be updated. I'm pretty sure they'll be seeing an update soon, but you never can tell.

You'll probably never see a full Sense UI ROM on the Epic.

The main thing that I like about the Epic is the Hummingbird processor. I haven't really had an opportunity to play with a Galaxy S phone w/o a T-Mobile sales person breathing down my neck, so I can't really speak to how much better it makes the overall experience.

My opinion would be that if you think you can live without a hardware keyboard, to go with the EVO.

Sorry if that was a bit rambly... I just woke up. :)
[EVO 4G General] jerryparid:
Advantage Epic 4G

1. QWERTY

2. More powerful CPU and GPU crushes Evo's GPU, no comparison

3. Screen is about 5x nicer than Evo's. To be honest, Evo has a really ****ty TFT LCD screen displaying only 65k colors.

Advantage Evo 4G

1. Feels more like a premium device, very heavy for a phone, nice form factor

2. Roughly the same size as Epic, thinner, but way less bezel, more screen.
[EVO 4G General] bharris25:
I keep hearing about all the pixels you can see on the epic. I like my Evo, I'd say if you want to game or need a hardware keyboard go epic otherwise the Evo is great. Most games are payable with the Evo just with a few slowdowns. Battery life is just slightly better on the epic, like 15 mins or something like that.
[EVO 4G General] Success100:
i work for sprint, I dont think you can go wrong with either. heres what i think...

Epic

Pros: 4G, GORGEOUS screen, Hummingbird processor really flies when scrolling and rendering, Great KB, and DLNA (instead of HDMI)

Cons: Somewhat bulky even though very lightweight, even though screen is gorgeous, colors are over exaggerated, resulting in some pixelation. 5M/VGA cameras versus the Evo 8M/1.3M combo. Capacitive buttons at bottom VERY touchy and buggy

Evo

Pros: 4G, 4.3 inch screen, HUUUUUGE development community, Android Froyo 2.2 out the box, 8M/1.3M camera combo, KICKSTAND!!, 2 flashes on Camera, HTC Sense blows Touchwiz out of the water (even though I prefer LauncherPro), and lastly Evo comes with Youtube with HQ capabilities

Cons: HTC has capped the framerate of the Evo out of the box because of the HDMI controller. Compared to the Epics constant 60fps, it blows a stock Evo out the water when it comes to anything graphical. Scrolling, pinching and zooming, things like that. The 1GHz Snapdragon core is fast as hell when launching programs and multi tasking and performing operations, but it stinks compared to the Epic when it comes to 3D gaming. Now, with that being said, there are plenty of custom roms and kernels that lift the cap on the framerate on the Evo, letting it achieve about 55fps. Close to 60, but not yet.

Screen on Evo is a tad bigger, but looks sort of washed out against the Epic.

HTC Sense is great for the average user, but its Heavy, slow, and hogs up alot of resources.

Dont get me wrong, the are more pros and cons to both, but to ME, those are the big ones. Which one do I recommend?

I RECOMMEND GOING TO A STORE AND PLAYING WITH BOTH TO SEE WITH ONE YOU..ill say it again....YOU...like better

For me, I already own the Evo, and its an awesome device, the Epic isnt enough of an upgrade for me to ditch the Evo. Furthermore, Sprint employees cant buy the Evo or Epic yet anyways. I only got an Evo cuz I was our stores advocate.

I think if I were in a buyers position tho, and was an average user, or even a more than average user, I would definately pick sadly...the Epic.

Now, if your into hacking and overclocking and tinkering your phone, then the Evo is definately the phone for you. There is so much support for the Evo, its truly unbelievable.

At the end, I LOVE my Evo, hands down the best phone ive ever had. You may not think the same, and coming to an Evo forum is gonna get you some very biased answers on which one is better. Go to a store and try them out for yourself. They are both incredible devices
[EVO 4G General] r2tincan:
I don't care at all about games but I am really tired of the slowdowns I've come to expect with Windows Mobile.

For instance, sometimes waiting for a text message to appear or for the home screen to load (5-10 seconds) is "normal" for me. I want a snappy device, with a good end-user experience. Like the iphone.

And I wanna customize it, unlike an iphone.

Edit: Thanks for the recommendation, I'll go in today and play with them again....

[EVO 4G General] strung:
I had a Touch Pro 2 for a month, it was so slow I couldn't even answer calls on it. Literally it would take 30 seconds to press the "answer call" button and by the the call would be disconnected. Also that conference call feature where you could easily add people to a call simply did not exist (i think it only works on the GSM verison)

I actually really, really like the Palm Pixi after seeing it in person. That thing is tiny [that's what she said] and quite underrated.

I kind of want to ditch my Evo for the Palm Pixi but would mainly miss the Google Maps Navigation. [edit I suppose it probably has Sprint Navigation]

I played with a friends epic, and I was not impressed.

touchwiz looks like kindergarten compared to sense.

it was lightweight and nice display, albeit smaller than evo.
[EVO 4G General] sdsoundguy:
I agree with your review here I have 5 Evo's at work and own one myself and yesterday just activated 2 Epic's great phones screen is out of this world. That being said depends on if you want a mechanical keyboard or not. I could go either way bottom line is you can't lose with either phone they are both great. I can say for me the Evo is the best smart phone I have ever owned.
[EVO 4G General] ausch30:
As others have said, the best way to choose is to play with both of them yourself. That being said, a friend of mine got the Epic the other day and I went over to show her how to use it and I like the EVO more. It may just be the fact that I'm more used to my phone or just simply personal preference, I don't know. The Epic is a nice phone, but IMHO, the EVO is better. Everyone is different though and you may feel another way. I'm just happy that after being with Sprint as long as I have (about 10yrs) and dealing with the fact that year after year all the top phones have gone to different carriers, Sprint finally decided to offer 2 very good choices.
[EVO 4G General] racemepls:
I work at a Sprint store and a customer with an Epic came in with an image burned into the screen. I don't know how and I havn't read anything else on it but if I know Samsung then there will be at least one major issue.
[EVO 4G General] cosine83:
The main reason to not get an Epic is the other name attached to it - Samsung. They are, historically, horrible with their smartphones. Slow to release updates, slow or never release updates to fix bugs big and small, marginal support for devices out on the market, and just a complete lack of customer service. As a former owner of an Instinct and a Moment, I cannot recommend buying anything with the Samsung name attached to it except their TVs and computer monitors.

I can, without any doubt in my mind, say that the Evo is the best phone I've ever owned thus far. By itself with no root and no modifications, it is a wonderful phone. Rooting it and putting whatever I want on it to expand its potential only made it a better phone. The guys over at SDX will have a heck of a time ripping out TouchWiz (yuck!) and making the Epic better than it is (it's already rooted, supposedly). I won't even be thinking about a phone upgrade again until at least November to see what's on the market or what's coming to the market (especially from HTC).
