I see no need to update, personally I believe the Vibrant is 10x better looking then the G2, I like the fact that it's lightweight and not much out there can beat this AMOLED screen. I've went from a 1st gen iPhone to the G1, and now to the Vibrant, the G2 is not in my feature.
[Vibrant General] PolishDude:
yeah i got my vibrant from costco, $250 with no contract :) I just really like installing different roms and such and am wondering if this phone wont take the vibrant spotlight being an htc and also having vanilla android on it
[Vibrant General] turbosix:
see what i mean? if i had known i would have been there with cash in hand and i would have been able to buy a second for $99 like everyone else was, then sell the damn thing unlocked and made a profit.
[Vibrant General] mr2t32:
G2 is a downgrade from vibrant imo. the specs are not even at par with the vibrant. The only thing it got going for the G2 is that it will be released with Froyo. Once vibrant gets froyo either ota or from a Dev, it will run faster than it is now. I read somewhere that 2.1 is not using all the available ram since it only sees 384 ram and Froyo will be able to see all 512.
[Vibrant General] darkknight49:
My vibrant is too awesome. Plus im really picky on how keyboards feel. I didn't like the droid, the epic 4g....actually, i only liked the one on my blackberry. Plus, there fewer physical weaknesses in the vibrants body in comparison to the G2.
[Vibrant General] backslide311:
Come on {OP} wtf is the point of you even posting this in the Vibrant forums, go post this somewhere else plz! stop trying to cause drama.
[Vibrant General] qreffie:
The only reason to make a switch to the G2 would be because it's fully compatible with HSPA+ or you just need a physical keyboard. Once froyo is running on both phones it'll be clear the Vibrant is the winner.
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
I don't know why anyone would buy a phone at release unless it's just to play with a second toy. If you plan to use it as your primary phone, I would suggest waiting a few weeks to see what kinds of bugs or glitches pop up.

Usually the chef will tell you in his thread post which one it is.

In pongsters if you edit the startup.txt you can decide there. So if your like me and wanted to tether which can only be done using rmnet. You could change the startup.txt to reflet the usage of rmnet. On the flipside if you were out and about and wanted to use ppp you would do the same with the startup.txt

Pongsters build is awesome but If you dont pay attention to what your doing things may not work correctly.

[Epic 4G General] lineman78:
I am up for an upgrade in a week and have been weighing my options for a while and am currently leaning towards the Epic, but was hoping to get some insight from the Epic community and hopefully some people that have used both phones. My main concern with the Epic is that of Sammy and their history of not supporting hardware. I still have a bad taste in my mouth over the Instinct(great hardware, terrible software and support). I don't care that much about the home screen part of either or the mail app as I will be using GMail and LauncherPro. One question I have is how many serious and talented linux devs are there that work on the Epic? I know most of the Hero devs went to the Evo. I currently have a Hero running CM6. I like some parts of Sense, but it's performance was a major turn-off and was what made me turn to ASOP. As far as the keyboard goes, I am undecided on whether I will actually like/use it or not. The only thing I see myself using it for is gaming emulators. Another concern is I have heard something about GPS issues, have they been fixed or acknowledged? I am open to input and am truly on the border here. Also, has a root been found for the epic yet? This is a big one for me so that I can at least remove the sprint crapware.
[Epic 4G General] jdreynss:
I would say go for the evo. Not long ago I was in the same boat a you. I did a ton off research, and played with both phones extensively. I chose the evo, and it its the most amazing phone I've ever seen. Now that htc uncapped the fps, there is really no problems. The epic is great, but imo the evo is better.

Sent from my Htc Evo
[Epic 4G General] drewX2:
I own both. I prefer the Epic for the keyboard. However, I dislike its screen for late night bed surfing lol. All AMOLEDs are way too bright in the dark.

Couple other noticeable things for me:

Screen: Epic for brightness/colors, however EVO has better responsiveness (assuming hardware/software issue for Epic)

Screen FPS: Epic, but they just released official fix for EVO

Text input: Epic since it has hardware keyboard in addition to touch

Battery life: EVO hands down, my Epic seems to die too fast and I never used any type of battery saving application on EVO

Power button location: Blows on Epic, why did they put it on the side??

Phone Size: Epic is lighter and smaller

ROM Development: EVO because its a HTC device, but I hope this changes soon :P
[Epic 4G General] jirafabo:
And I'd go with the Epic. I got my girlfriend her first smartphone 3 months ago and got her the Evo. Played with it for a few weeks and definitely liked the phone. Then I came up for an upgrade and I had the same decision to make. I ended up chosing the Epic as it seems it is a fewer months older and has a few slight upgrades over the Evo, but not much.

The Epic screen is ridiculously amazing. They do NOT compare. I love having a hard keyboard, and I text a lot more because of it. It's been two phones and about 3 years since I had a keyboard, but I picked it right up and my fingers flew.

Touchwiz is very nice, but I got rid of it after a few days, well actually the 3rd day once I rooted. I did the same with Sense on my Hero, like it, but I rather go completely customizable with a custom launcher.

Another great thing about the Epic is the notificatoin settings bar. You can adjust a few settings like wifi, 4g, bluetooth, brightness and airplane mode all from the pull down bar. And it even works without Touchwiz, which was a surprise to me. This feature alone gives me a big vote for epic over evo.

It seems the Epic's cpu runs a little faster/more efficientyly than the Evo's. The battery life on both is about what you can expect, if you use it a lot, plan on charging it during the day. Are you into rooting and getting the most out of your phone? Then you can get extensively better battery duration.

Right now, there isn't a lot of extra stuff you can do on a rooted Epic, but the phone's only been out a few weeks and the Evo has a jumpstart on developmental stuff. Also, the Evo is already on 2.2 where the Epic is still on 2.1, although rumors have it getting 2.2 in the next month.

Gps issue is definitely a problem on the Epic. I use my GPS about 5 times a day as I travel to different sites for my job. There is a delay in getting a good lock, but there should be a fix for this soon, and it's not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. I usually get a lock within a minute. But I'll be happy when I get that instantaneous lock again.

One thing the Evo definitely has on the Epic is a bit bigger screen, .3", and HDMI out. That function is disabled on the Epic for some reason. I've heard a few reasons, but who knows. I use the DLNA option instead as my TV is new enough to support it.

I came from 3 generations of HTC phones before this, so it was hard for me to leave HTC. In the end, either way you're getting an awesome phone. so good luck with this decision!
[Epic 4G General] monadzback:
epic camera owns the evo. period
[Epic 4G General] spiicytuna:
I own both and would say EVO hands down. I thought the physical keyboard would be for me as that was the hardest to get used to on my EVO but after using both extensively I'd get the EVO. Where a few people like being able to adjust wifi/bluetooth and whatnot from the upper status pulldown, on the EVO it's a widget called "Power Control". To me this gives the same ease. Having both the EVO and the EPIC side by side I wouldn't say the EPIC screen blows away the EVO. Colors seem more blue on the EPIC and amoled is nice but I'd take my EVO any day for the .3 larger screen + it doesn't look bad at all.

Now if you're HEAVY into games and that's the main purpose for your phone then I'd recommend you get the EPIC. GPS isn't as big of an issue as people make it out to be BUT that being said there's been a few times when I needed it *now* and was waiting for about 3-5 minutes which I am sorry is NOT cool. The EVO locks on almost instantly, and most places I have tried indoor as well (obviously in a concrete office building it's not going to work... but at home in my bedroom it works fine).

I would suggest that you go to a Sprint store and really play with both for ~20 minutes each...

[Epic 4G General] sling:
Not true
[Epic 4G General] churro7:
basically epic if u like physical kbs or evo if not
[Epic 4G General] chipstar1:
Yes it is.
[Epic 4G General] infamousjax:
Having owned, and done extensive reviews and research on both I can conclude that the Epic's camera is much better than the Evos. The saturation, contrast, and white balance are all superior. Not to mention the video camera is only bested by the iPhone4.
[Epic 4G General] casual864:
I owned the Evo b4 the Epic. I liked the Evo, because the development for the device is amazing. The kickstand on the Evo is also great and comes in handy. Now that the 30fps caps is removed, it is even a greater phone.

I chose the Epic for a smaller form factor in phone size. I had to use two hands to use the Evo and my fingers would not reach across the screen without touching my skin. The Evo camera is not as good as the Epic, 23 fps vs 29/30fps at a constant rate. I like have an option of a physical keyboard to use only *if* I am typing a long email, playing a emulator or just getting tired of using the on screen keyboard. The AMOLED screen pwns the LCD screen and the Epics GPU is amazing, I run everything smoothly on my Epic.

In my opinion they are both great phones, but if you prefer a bigger form factor and a great development scene go for the Evo. If you prefer a great overall device that has everything built in for a phone then choose the Epic.
[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
Yes it is.

http://www.droiddog.com/android-blog/2010/09/epic-vs-evo-the-cameras/

The EVO can't shoot HD video in low light situations. It goes at around 10-15 FPS. It's blurrier during the day. It over saturates the colors. The 8MP on the camera is totally pointless because the quality of the camera doesn't measure up.

My Epic takes much better pictures than my EVO. But regardless... there are far MORE IMPORTANT reasons to get a phone.
[Epic 4G General] cary328is:
lol I agree! I own both also and the super AMOLED is way too bright even at its lowest setting. I do love both devices equally though
[Epic 4G General] spiicytuna:
Have you owned both? Care to give any reasons/data explaining why?

Apparently you haven't used cm6 on the EVO. IT does wonders for the camera and does things that no other camera app does as of yet; touch to focus while in camcorder mode....I get 24ish fps in 720p in low light with cm6.

Look, I own both, they both have their pros/cons but NEVER ever would I say one owns the other. It almost like Mac vs. PC they both do some things well....and others not so well.
[Epic 4G General] bomix:
Epic, is my vote, root is already out. Out of the box, epic is so much better. I still have my evo, but I never pick it up.
[Epic 4G General] buckrub58:
My pick is the Evo. I got the Epic at launch, but it never felt right for me. I was also annoyed at the current bugs, which I can confirm it has. I just didn't have faith in Samsung to come out with a fix for them all, especially in my 30 window.

I returned it for the Evo and was amazed how much more I liked the Evo. Just feels like the better phone imo. Battery life is much better on the Evo than the Epic for me too.

Good luck.
[Epic 4G General] jok3sta:
Either one you pick you wil be happy. I ended up going with the epic for the better screen, better processor and gpu and the keyboard. Even though im starting to use the screen keyboard alot more now that i installed the droid x keyboard.. i take the train to work everyday so i watch movies and play games on a daily basis.. and despite the screen size disadvantage the epic has.. movies look so much better.. and believe me i've tried both
[Epic 4G General] spiicytuna:
Agreed! They are both good machines(?), err phones. As I said in an earlier post, it'd be stupid to not go to Sprint and really play with both for like 10-20 minutes each. Download quadrant, neocore, your favorite app(s), etc., etc. and run it all on both and make an informed decision. Most Sprint employees (around were I live) recommend the EVO, that said, don't let a sales person sway you one way or another.
[Epic 4G General] lineman78:
I plan on it. I have been to best buy twice, but for some reason in their great wisdom they only have mockups so you cant play around with them. I am going to buy it at best buy so I get my reward points and better returns.
[Epic 4G General] nmoreman:
I have both, bought Evo, really liked it, but when the Epic came out, tried it, loved it, gave Evo to hubby.

Handsize and feel is important to me, the Epic fits hand better, buttons are in more convenient place for one hand usage, Love Swype, love screen, rooted but staying with Touchwiz because its so smooth (and waiting for 2.2

before I mess with other roms). The pics are awesome, as are some of the apps, especially Google Sky. It actually runs a little faster than Evo in opening apps.

Now hubby loves Evo, bigger feel in hands, screen, but to me, colors look more washed out. However, he is color blind so can tell no difference.

I came from rooted Hero, so like Touchwiz better than Sense. Its a comfort zone, they are both great, play with them, if we didn't have two to chose from, everyone would like the one choice they have.

P.S. My only wish would be no keyboard on Epic and thinner, never use it with large on screen keyboards and Swype.
[Epic 4G General] durhamite:
This is the 1 Million dollar question. I picked up the Epic this weekend and love it. I have only played with my friends evo for a few minutes at a time. We can give our opinions but the only person that can answer this question is you. Both phones are great and you will probably be happy with either. I was leaning towards the Epic and when I went to pick it up, they didn't have any Evo's so that pushed me over the edge!
[Epic 4G General] sdotk:
Overall Epic is way better and it doesnt even have froyo yet (or maybe just going to jump to gingerbread), Better screen, better GPU, keyboard, better camera, etc... Trust me coming from a person that had a Nexus One and have a friend that had an Evo which he now has the Epic, the Epic owns the Evo. My Nexus One also owns the Evo. Just remember before froyo the Evo was very laggy. it has improved but still Epic > Nexus > Evo! That is all :)
[Epic 4G General] deaonanthony:
did you ever decide which phone you were going with. i'm trying to decide which to choose from myself. i'm coming from my old school t-mo dash. i love that phone.
[Epic 4G General] blazinazn:
T-Mo Dash!? Reminds me of the Moto Q I had back in the day :D

I'm in the same boat too. I currently have the moment and wasn't eligible for an upgrade until November but I got Sprint to move up my upgrade date to tomorrow.

I think I'm going with the Epic though. Hard to give up the keyboard.
[Epic 4G General] Masterface7:
I think there are a lot of us getting new phones in about a week, starting in October. I myself am going to get the epic. The keyboard is the #1 reason and the built in touchwiz things that stay even though the touchwiz launcher is disabled is probably #2 like the comm manager in the notification bar. Also "Sense Style widgets" can be downloaded from the market like the launcherPro Plus widgets or pure calander or fancy widget or beautiful widgets. They may not be as good as the real sense but they are pretty close. Also the built in swype is pretty convenient too. I didn't think i would like or use it that much but i did. And yes the screen does look fantastic for media.

A 30 minute in store session in no way does justice the power of a phones cpu/gpu. Sure you can take a benchmark but the fluidity of use will not be impressed. In addition a 30 min in store test will not provide a great feel for internet speed. Every store around me has outstanding signal and very fast 4g. Also, there is also no way to really feel out sense ui since that would require inputing personal information.

I wish there was a online video with a fully custom evo (with its rediculous over 2000 quadrant) next to an epic (whatever custom is available right now), both of them running psx4droid and seeing how they compare.

Depending on what stores you go to they are told to push different things. some stores have epic "specialists" some have evo specialists some have both. The small sprint store next to where I live pushes the epic and the corporate store close by pushes whoever is in for that day. When I was there is was for the epic. However I went back and it was all about the evo.
[Epic 4G General] cj1171:
I'm up for an upgrade as well

However, I have yet to see any solid comparisons between the two phones post-EVO fps unlock. How does this affect performance (numbers-wise and experience-wise) for just interface use and high-demand things like gaming?

Does anyone know how I can use the Reality Scanner of Navigon 3.5.0?
[Android Apps and Games] grun:
Switch Navigon on and wait untill the gps has a fix. Go to the 'Show Card' screen.Then, with a fast flick of the wrist, tilt your phone to landscape. Switching from position like you normal do doesn't work, it has to be a fast movement because the reality scanner is activated by the G-sensor in the phone. Use the back button (hardware) to switch back to normal mode.

These instructions I read somewhere on a HTC Desire forum.

[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
If you do, make sure you test out the GPS, I want to see if other people are getting good results with it as well. I'm trying to verify this isn't a fluke!

Also if after flashing this in with the UGJH2 modem you have terrible signal or unrecognized baseband issues, put the phone in debug mode and use adb

adb shell
am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.Preconfig/com.android.Preconfig.Preconfig

Then check out your phone screen, select XEU and the phone will reboot... In my case it screwed up my modem so I had to reflash the modem itself (I used the pit, but you might not need to), and when the phone came up I had HSUPA 850/1900 as I should have
