I've seen a ton of very unscripted interviews. A lot of them just say "no comment" when they get questions they can't answer. At TechEd North America this sort of stuff was very common. This guy didn't get to touch the device (at least not on camera). While I think this is a good video, it's really not much different than previous stuff, ignoring the previously unshown device of course.

Found a new picture of Asus WP7 phone (at least for me) on Wired w*w*w.wired.com/images_blogs/gadgetlab/2010/10/phone7_test.jpg

I'd like to know more information about this phone!, so far the nicest looking.

my screen wobbles a little bit...i know it happens over time, but i havnt had it long. will sprint replace my phone?
[Epic 4G General] houkah:
I'm wondering the same thing. I read that sprint has a 30 day satisfaction gaurantee and that you can exchange or return and it will only cost you a $30 restocking fee.
[Epic 4G General] Malefickus:
It's actually a $35 restocking fee, but if its a hardware issue, have it looked at by a repair center first.

Sent from my Samsung Epic 4G
[Epic 4G General] entropism:
If you're unhappy, they'll definitely replace the device for you, and the restocking fee is if nothing is "wrong" with the phone. Most places will be happy to waive the restocking fee for the wobble, if it's bad enough.
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
Yeah...mine's begun to wobble while closed as well. It's as if there's a small fulcrum running the length behind the screen so if you lightly push on either side (longways), it see-saws.

Think I'll be going back for my third device.
[Epic 4G General] ksweat2292:
i've had mine since launch day. don't all units have this issue? i thought it was just the way it was built...
[Epic 4G General] Malefickus:
I would have to say that all units do not have this issue. My screen has no wobble whatsoever, and slides what I perceive to be perfectly. I've also had mine since launch day. I also hardly slide mine open. Having come from the HTC Hero, its just more natural for me to use the screen and swype. I probably should have opted for the Evo, but I really wanted the AllShare and native swype.

[Epic 4G General] amdille:
No, we've got two in my house. My wife's is rock solid and mine wobbles both open and closed. The wobble while closed is actually worse than while opened on mine. It's bad enough that if I'm working with the screen closed and I press the bottom left hand corner of the screen, the screen half of the phone makes and audible smack against the keyboard half. Needless to say, mine is going back today.

[Epic 4G General] los1223:
Mine does the same thing but the service center I took it to refused to replace it. I stuck a screen protector on the back of the screen half of the phone. Seems to help out.
[Epic 4G General] robl45:
my wifes did the wobble but she put a case on it and its solid now. personally i wouldn't worry about it, any slider is going to loosen up over time.

but if you don't like it, definately have it replaced. of course you run the chance of getting a worse one.
[Epic 4G General] houkah:
Just a quick update. I exchanged my epic this morning because of the screen wobble and they didn't make me pay the restocking fee. YMMV. It helped that the wobble on my phone was noticeably worse than their in store demo unit.
[Epic 4G General] d94:
Yes, we will. But before a service center can swap it you have to have it for 30 days, before that its on the retailer whom you purchased it from. Personally mine has wobble..but it doesn't bother me much and i plan on experimenting with the touchstone after my 30 days are up and ultimately swappin it out :D
[Epic 4G General] syntax_erorr:
I was just wondering what your guys thoughts were on screen protects for this phone. I've used them on my last 2 devices, but I've read this phone is susposed to have supper tuff screen. I have a protector on now, but it really messes with the colors on the screen and I wanna take it off.

Anyone scratched the screen yet?
[Epic 4G General] Pops_G:
I will never use screen protectors again. After countless frustrations with them, like getting dust under the film or sticky feeling textures, I'm done. I love the way a glass screen feels.

I'm a pretty careful person. I never put my keys in the same pocket or drop the phone. So for me, no protection is just fine.
[Epic 4G General] herbthehammer:
My moment, evo and epic all had zepp screen protectors. So what it's got a tougher screen, wouldn't you feel better you're protecting your investment? This phone wasn't cheap.
[Epic 4G General] herbthehammer:
I've gone to best buy and had them put it on. My epic, the first one was messed up so they got another one. They've been trained to put these on. They've put many on. If there's a problem or one is messed up, they'll get another one. Yeah you pay for installation, but if they don't do a good job, they'll redo it. Try that yourself...
[Epic 4G General] FuzzyLumpkins:
I have literally taken my keys and dared my friends to TRY and scratch my screen... as hard as we tried... couldn't make even the smallest scratch... took some balls to try it the first time by myself tho haha... once you realize how amazing this gorilla glass is you will feel sooo much better about it.
[Epic 4G General] herbthehammer:
And they have better tools at their disposal than thee primitive ones that come in the package.

Another alternative, take the package and the phone to a good window tinting place. They know how to get it perfect. After they stop laughing at you for bringing in a phone...

Since it's such a pita to put those things on, let the pros do it.
[Epic 4G General] burnnhell:
I just had one put on by bestbuy today. I had previously used a zagg and installed it myself when I was a crackberry user. This time I said hell no im paying to get it done. It seems to have a slight effect on the way the capacitive buttons work(not as sensitive as before) but I had read that is a potential problem. Personally id rather have an ugly screen protector then a potentially permanent scratch on the screen...
[Epic 4G General] bigray327:
Wait, you people put a screen protector that CAN be damaged on a screen that CAN'T be damaged? <facepalm>
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Get Zagg sheild protector for the epic....their protectors are amazing
[Epic 4G General] ravizzle:
I got a clarivue on mine, it was easy to install, no watery mess, it uses static, and it is super clear and not noticeable. It doesn't affect the capacitive buttons on the bottom and the screen doesn't feel weird like those other protectors do.

RE

I initially bought the Sprint screen protector at the store on release day and had it on for a few days. Unfortunately, I wasn't very happy with the way the screen looked (even giving it 4 days or so to clear out).

I took it off and was amazed to have the normal screen back. It's been a few days since then and not a single inkling of a scratch on it.
[Epic 4G General] Masterface7:
I've got a clairvue and a realook screen protector in the mail right now and I just peeled off the generic protector I was using. I am gonna go with a naked screen until I get near my 30 day limit and see how it looks.
[Epic 4G General] dthunder137:
I dropped mine getting out of my car last week, it fell maybe a foot and it now has tiny scratches on the top and bottom but thankfully not on the display itself. Bought a screen protector the next day.
[Epic 4G General] Pops_G:
Here is the flow chart and a video to help you make your choice:

[YOUTUBE]6xASJobjD68[/YOUTUBE]
[Epic 4G General] dthunder137:
I love that video, which is why I didn't get a screen protector.

Mine did not survive unscathed a drop that was a fraction of what his did.

I know it is my fault, I'm the idiot that let it get dropped. I just want to let people know the Epic 4g is not as scratch-proof as that video leaves you to believe.
[Epic 4G General] syntax_erorr:
I've seen a couple drop test that show the screen does scratch from a 1 foot. I just HATE the sprint protector. I've had sheilds from ZAGG before and really liked them. I guess I"ll get another for this phone.

FYI: do not get the sprint screen protector.

1. It does not protect the entire front face, only the screen itself. EVEN though the reps will tell you it covers the entire front of the phone.

2. It really screws up the colors of the screen, white seems to be a bit of green/blue/red not a real white.

3. It makes the screen harder to see in sun light.

4. It sucks.

5. ?????
[Epic 4G General] lehaman310:
If you are in the edge or unsure if you should get a protector, get one from stealthguards.com for just 2.85 shipping and they are exactly like the zagg material. I ordered one for my epic and haven't got it yet but the one I got for my iPod works great.
[Epic 4G General] dthunder137:
I ordered a phantom skinz, I have a generic one on until it gets here. Rep told me it was a bad idea to cover the whole glass, because it could mess with the front facing camera. I covered as much as I could with it and it looks stupid only being partially covered. Hoping the skin gets here tomorrow.
[Epic 4G General] shabbypenguin:
got my ghost armor on order will have a review and pics up of it, had zagg on my hero and loved it. seems to be reports that ga is better so imma try them. dont use the front facing cam as i know one person who has qik and i dont talk to them much
[Epic 4G General] houkah:
I was stupid and had my phone in the same pocket as my keys. I did this for 2 years w/ my iphone 3g and it didn't have a single scratch on the screen. 1 week with this epic and there are micro scratches everywhere. Do not believe the hype about the screen durability, get a screen protector if u're going to put them in the same pocket w/ anything that might scratch it (keys, coins, etc).
[Epic 4G General] ggoldfingerd:
I didn't have one and I got a very small chip in the screen when my phone hit the ground. The chip was rainbow colored. I wasn't happy, but I repaired it with toothpaste and a microfiber cloth. I couldn't that I got the chip completely out.

I used to be all about screen protects, but I don't use them anymore. If you are careful, you should be okay. The screen does look better without one.
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
I disbelieve that this screen scratches very easily. They have gorilla glass and I purposefully took a screwdriver to mine to test it. Its FLAWLESS afterwards. YMMV
[Epic 4G General] bmasephol:
My phone fell from my truck seat to the ground and face planted on pretty coarse gravel. It got a couple dings in the bezel and some very small scratches in the glass just above the samsung wording at the bottom. Lucky the scratches are not on the visible screen area. So the glass will scratch but it does seem very durable.
[Epic 4G General] Six-Deuce:
Part of why I got this phone is because the screen is more durable than that of the Evo, which I had to get a screen protector for and it washed out the colors way too much. When you consider the fact that the Evo screen is much more inferior to that of the Epic, made it a no brainer. Epic w/o screen protector FTW

That's right, 191MB.

It is clearly referring to app space and not SD storage.

[Vibrant General] axion68:
Don't some of the lag fixes cause this?
[Vibrant General] ttabbal:
Don't use such a large container for the loopback filesystem. The phone will show that message when that partition drops to about 300mb free iirc. The versions that used 1gb seem to avoid this issue, it's when they tried to go to 1.5gb or so that it started up.

Or use a partition on the external sd and don't have the problem.

There's also the new voodoo lag fix that should be out soon, we hope. That will fix it properly and remove the busted rfs file system entirely.

This happen to me when installing a lag fix, back your files then enter.recovery delete all personal data after restore your apps but dont install the lag fix.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techpreneur:
I have a very strange issue. At home I get outside / inside I get 1 - 2 bars. If i drive two / three blocks left or right from my house I get 5 bars 3G. I have called t-mobile, and they have sent engs to test. First eng said its the phone and not their service. I explained to them I have 2 blackberrys and two android phones. Same signal on each! They sent another tech out and he said they are not going to improve the coverage in my area. I've been looking around for repeaters, boosters, etc, but I see that nobody makes a booster for the 1700 MHz.

Does anyone have any ideas?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TwoGunsGeronimo:
im in chicago and i get the same thing. i get 1 bar 3g, or 2-3 bars on edge. sometimes, my signal drops all together and then comes back a few seconds later. i've told tmobile about this and they said there is no outage in my area. however, my dad's phone is fine; granted it's us cellular but still fine. just has to be tmobile. any of my friends who have tmobile, always lose signal at my place.

but good luck finding any company who will admit that their is something wrong with their service.

im thinkin it could be the phone. cuz i didnt have problems with my old iphone..
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t1n0m3n:
It is not the phone. This is typical behavior for 2100 mhz signal. (t-mobile uplink frequency)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techpreneur:
Yeah, I know the higher the mhz the harder it is to reach through buildings...one reason why hand radios such as police, fire, ems still use 700 / 800 range.

For my location its like the 3G towers get so close they lose signal near me. There are 3 tmobile towers within a 1 mile radius of me. Im right in the middle of all three.

This has been confirmed by tmobile and their tower website.

http://www.t-mobiletowers.com
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nanim0n:
i was using tmobile when i had my iphone.. so i still think the phone plays a role in this also
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heygrl:
If you've never had a 3G device on T-Mobile there is no comparison to be made.

Secondly just because you're near a tower doesn't mean all of them will have 3G. 1 of those towers could be 3G while the other two are 2G.

T-Mobile's legacy 2G network is PCS AKA 1900 - already a high frequency network. There are a NUMBER of reasons why 3G isn't as strong as 2G. First of all 2G and 3G signal strength is measured differently. 1 bar (or 0 on the Vibrant) can mean choppy, garbling calls on 2G/GSM but on 3G, 1 bar can give you crystal clear calls and good-enough data service. EDGE with 1 bar is next to unbearable.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quetwo:
I actually have a problem because my neighbor has an illegal repeater that is tagged for AT&T. Because AT&T has really poor service in this area, he has it cranked up so high that if you get within half a block of his house all other GSM/EDGE/3G devices start to flake out. I doubt he even gets much better service in his house (I'm sure the repeater is just amplifying garbage signal anyway).
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
report him to the feds and that'll get rid of all your problems :p
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shane_pcs:
Yeah, report him to the FCC. There is the threat of a $10K fine but usually thats all it takes to get them to turn of the repeater. If you don't want to be the bad guy, call t-mobile and rat him out.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techpreneur:
I wonder if thats why my signal just drops like a rock. I literally turn the corner and I go from 5 bars to 2 bars.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heygrl:
The Vibrant has 4 bars max, not 5. The bar display is very sensitive on the Vibrant, just the same as any other Samsung. Stop focusing on the bars, they're totally different when compared to any other Android phone.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techpreneur:
I agree, I have 0 bars inside my house but I am able to place calls upstairs but not downstairs. During my testing I used the bar status and *#*#197328640#*#* for the reading. You can tell with bar status though that it will be 5 bars and drive 2 more blocks its down to 2 bars. Same with *#*#197328640#*#* by the signal numbers.

I didn't read everything just wanted to give a reply really quick to the OP, I live in the chicago land area, work closer to the city and live in the west burbs, on Tmo, at work and around work area i get 3-5 bars all day long on 3g but once i get intside of my house it drops down to 0-1 and phone call quility is very poor.

To help my issue, once i get home i switch to "Use only 2G networks" under Mobile network settings, and once it switchs over i have full 5 everywhere with in my house on edge only and use my wifi if i want to surf the web. But the thing is call quility is back up to 100% when switching over once at home.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larryccf:
or you might try a more neighborly approach, ie warn him first

i had a problem years ago with a new neighbor (young kid) had rented a house few doors down from me - and was obviously selling drugs - this was in the inner city, the historic district, cars would pull up from time to time and the driver would jump out and run in his back door, spend 5 - 15 minutes and leave, and there'd be 5 to 10 cars a night when he had a shipment in. Problem was, the guy or guys left waiting in his car would be eyeballing the BMWs, volvos etc parked in the center of the block (center of block had two alleys, with a small private parking lot between them. they see or think these cars were easy prey for breakins, and they were - after he moved in we started seeing a breakin every 2-3 weeks

i told him one of the neighbors had asked me was he dealing drugs, as it sure looked like it, and hoping he'd get the hint, i told him it's none of my business but if you are, you might ask the customers to come to the front of your house - we've had way too many breakins into the cars and that neighbor that asked is ready to call the cops.

he didn't get the hint - cops were called, but only after giving him a chance, and they ended up raiding him

you get the point - use a "hypothetical" neighbor that had complained to you, so you don't unnecessarrily start a fence war
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opiate46:
I usually get maybe 1-2 bars of service at my house, and on a lot of days it's worse. Sometimes I can't maintain a call at all because the conversation is so broken. I tried doing what you've mentioned here and was surprised when my bars immediately jumped to full and stayed that way....for about 1 minute lol. Then I watched as they slowly dropped again to 1 bar. Which it then flickered up to 2 occasionally. I'm glad it works for you though. It was just funny for me because I'm yelling at my girlfriend "LOOK LOOK!! I HAVE FULL SIGNAL NOW!!
