[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JTNiggle:
I have Best Buy's Black Tie Protection insurance on my phones, and it can be nice at times. Main thing that it's missing from Asurion is theft/loss protection. It only covers damaged/destroyed devices.

It runs $10 a month, but there is zero deductable, downside is that it can take 2-3 weeks to get ur replacement. Or longer if ur waiting for them to get Evo's in.

I was fortunate in that I never even had to buy an Evo in the first place. I had purchased my Hero from BB and had their insurance. I had broken a couple of them and got replacements. Well, on the third one they told me that they would no longer be selling Hero's and I would have to pick a different phone, any Sprint phone with a retail price of $600 or less. And bam, got my Evo for free with no new contract, I win. :D

Side note, they don't care one bit if ur rooted. Feel free to talk about it with the reps there. Chances are, if ur rooted, you know more about phones then the people that work there anyway. The manufacturer warranty has zero to do with BB's Black Tie, they don't care what you did to ur phone. One of mine was run over, one was dropped with a broken screen, and the third was dumped in the toilet by my 2 year old. They never hesitated in getting me new phones.

I'm assuming your running version 1.0, I'm going to alter that one. It looks like after 1.0 he incorporated the circle battery with percentages. Also he themed more of the phone as well. I can't change it for you from the ones with the circle mod it would be an extreme amount of work to replicate his theme and take out that circle mod battery so I hope this is what you want. V1.0 stock battery. If you decide you want to get the dialer and all he did afterwards, hit me with a pm and I'll pull the apps out of the newer one and put them in the older one so you can just flash the original theme with stock battery and have the themed dialer etc.

Well I've been flashing Green Minimalism and then AndroDena on my phone so I could keep the green alarm clock from Green but with the update of AndroDena the alarm has been modified to match the other icons and my green alarm clock is gone. Anyway you could slap the green alarm clock into AndroDena 2.0?

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamsforgotten:
Put AndroDena on your desktop. Using 7zip (download if you don't have it) and right click the androdena zip file and choose open archive. Double click on the system folder then the app folder "/system/app" Leave that open then do the same on the green minimalist theme and open it to system/app/ Delete alarmclock.apk off Adrodena and drag and drop the one from green into adrodena. Close the zip file and flash it. Should work fine.

Basically unmount the sd card, then restart market and your speeds should increase significantly (especially with 3g/H, less so with wifi). I'm getting 300-400 kb/sec download on market now.

I unmounted by going into Settings -> SD Card -> Unmount SD card.

[Epic 4G General] qipengart:
Well, good news guys. I am starting as a cell phone tech repair at a local store here and can't seem to decide between a HTC Evo 4G or Samsung Epic 4G. They both look awesome.

I am also with T-Mobile with the HD2 and love HTC products but the Samsung Epic looks tempting. I feel so indecisive now.

Any help here? :confused:
[Epic 4G General] ExploreMN:
Well, I had both the Evo and now the Epic and while the Evo was "okay," I love the Epic. Returning the Evo was the best thing I ever did. The main issues I had with the Evo where the physical size (Epic is thicker, but less surface area) and the battery. My Epic can last a full day with moderate to heavy use on a single charge. The Evo, with light use, needed to be charged about half way through the day. That is with all the usual tweaks, etc. Also, the Evo with the brightness turned down (to save battery) was almost useless, but the Epic on its lowest brightness setting is brighter than the Evo on about 50% brightness. Finally, even though Swype is cool, it is nice to have the keyboard if you do any kind of long typing or typing of words that are not in the dictionary. True, you can always add them, but if you ever do any kind of work where you type in commands, (terminal, etc) then you can do it much easier with a real keyboard.

Anyway, those are my two cents. On a 1-10 scale I would give the Evo a rating of 6 and the Epic a rating of 8.
[Epic 4G General] HAXSUNG GAL:
Greetings! I have both an Epic and an Evo, both rooted, both used extensively for work. The Epic I use mainly for wireless tethering of a work issued laptop, the Epic I use primarily for fielding calls and email.

I like the ability to use a hard keyboard with the Epic but as a former blackberry owner for YEARS I still believe the best hard keyboards to exist are ones engineered by RIM. It's too bad Samsung didn't tap into RIM engineering when constructing the feel and heft of their physical keyboard.

I wasn't a huge fan of Sense before getting an Evo but it's incredibly easy to use and easy on the eyes (mine, anyways) It seems that the email functions on the Evo are easier to utilize than the ones on the Epic but again a matter of personal preference.

I've re-rooted both phones in the last week (accidentally deleted g-talk off of Evo then turned right around and bricked my Epic!) and both phones are running much smoother since doing so. I noticed my Evo was getting really sluggish as time wore on (rooted it right after I got it in July) and the Epic was displaying warning signs of brick-ville prior to it actually bricking. I've benchmarked both units and without a doubt the Epic is MUCH faster than the Evo.

I've noticed subtleties between both phones since using them so much:

SCREENS/VIBRANCY: Epic colors seem more washed out. Evo's are clearer. Evo screen reacts so much easier to the touch....I have to press buttons more than once often to get Epic touch to register....

BATTERY LIFE: Face it, phones like this suck mega power. Multiple batteries and chargers for both are a must. Since I travel between multiple offices, I have a cache of chargers/batteries at all locations along with techie travel items I never leave home without. Tip: for a quick boost to get you at least one hour of extra time on your phone grab one of those keyring battery boosters Sprint sells....they're cheap and come as advertised (****WARNING DO NOT CHARGE YOUR PHONE WITH THE BOOSTER WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY CHARGING THE BOOSTER FROM AN ELECTRICAL SOURCE -SPRINT ADVERTISES THIS IS POSSIBLE BUT... YOU CAN START A FIRE*****) Hopefully my Travelers agent isn't on this forum !

SOUND: Epic seems to produce better sound at higher levels. Epic's speakers seem to have a weird screeching to them at top volume.

I don't know how much this has helped you, but the bottom line here is: if you are a physical keyboard person go for the Epic. If a larger screen floats your boat get the Evo. I'm fortunate to have been able to get both for professional reasons and have learned to love the differences that both provide.

Finally, here are two programs I highly recommend:

EPIC: noLED. Terrific app. Don't need root for it. Also works on Evo but designed for phones lacking a LED.

EVO: LEDHack. Ditto. You will need root. Not applicable for Epic.
[Epic 4G General] puppetmstr:
All you really have to think about is "Do I want a pure touch screen? or do I want a qwerty keyboard as well as a touch screen?", "Do I want HTC Sense, or TouchWiz?", "Do I want a kickstand?", lol.

But for a more in-depth look, I made a comparison of the tech specs and I gathered the information from Wikipedia as well as google.

Here is my post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=7788180#post7788180

Also. Playing Emulator games on the Epic is far more easier than it will be on the EVO. Due to the Epic having a physical keyboard so you can actually have buttons to press instread of tapping the touch screen. There are even keyboard covers that people have made in the shape of controllers to make the gameplay easier.

However. EVO has more developers than the Epic does for now. We only have about 4 roms and they're nothing really special. Pretty much stock roms with OC'ed kernals with a developer idea behind it. We don't even have a OTA rom developer yet. I still wish I knew how to do this stuff lol.
[Epic 4G General] blulitespecial:
it's mostly personal preference, but I find the epic to be much nicer than the Evo. The keyboard is a much nicer addition for typing. Virtual keyboards just leave me wanting that tactile feel again. The epic is bigger, but also has a much nicer display and the battery life is longer. I also love the small things like the microusb port on the top, and the power button on the side. These help when I'm using it in the car.

As far as ROMs. The EVO has much more development, but I haven't really longed to change anything on the stock epic (except maybe the bloatware). It's nice and fast and TW is clean. SenseUI always bogged my Evo and made it clunky. The only time I had a smooth ROM was in CM6.So far on the Epic, I don't think I'll need to change anything until I upgrade to 2.2
[Epic 4G General] illogic6:
Also, the Hummingbird processor feels faster than the Snapdragon QSD8650 in the EVO. The extra GPU power really makes a difference. That's why I switched.
[Epic 4G General] ImmortalLuD:
I could never decide between the two really, there is just a list of pro's and con's for both of them!

So I got an Evo for my second line. (Girlfriend uses it).

I swore to myself that I would never get a Samsung phone. After I switched away from my Motorolla razr many years ago to the HTC Touch, I fell in love with the quality of their phones.

The Epic just makes the Evo seem so outdated. The only thing going for the Evo is the development community, accessories, and support. And of course the build quality of the phone is just PERFECT.

Unfortunately, I grew tired of Sense UI over a year ago, and much prefer the AOSP UI. I can say, side by side, the Epic just rips the Evo apart in terms of fluidness, performance, and raw GPU power... That, and the screen looks a million times better, and FEELS better too!

I like them both though! =)
[Epic 4G General] Coin Slot:
one thing to also consider since you are currently a t-mobile customer, the G2 from HTC is out.
[Epic 4G General] badasscat:
I think all of these "Epic or Evo" posts are kind of strange, honestly. The two phones fill different niches. I agree with the poster that said it really comes down to keyboard vs. no keyboard and touchwiz vs. sense. Everything else is relatively minor, and something you will easily get used to (or not even realize the difference).

For me, a better question would be something like Epic or G2, or Epic or Droid 2. It's really not that hard to switch carriers (in fact I did it to buy the Epic), and unless you're very close to the beginning of your present contract - in which case you can't upgrade yet anyway - the ETF probably won't be that much, if anything. I got out of my contract with AT&T after 18 months and they didn't charge me any ETF - though that may be because I still have a second line with my wife's iPhone on it.

I just feel like phones with or without keyboards are a completely different experience. (I had an iPhone for a *day*, and it felt like walking around on one leg to me. So I returned it. And now I'm very happy with my Epic.)

If I didn't need a keyboard, I wouldn't consider the Epic, because the keyboard just adds extra bulk and another failure point - actually several more failure points. Instead, I'd then be comparing the Evo to another Galaxy S phone on another carrier. There's usually no reason to restrict yourself to one carrier. Even if you are going to be charged an ETF, you can usually find a deal on any phone that will more than pay for it (vs. the normal subsidized price of the phone).
[Epic 4G General] acegolfer:
If you are coming from other carriers, then switching carrier might be a good idea.

But for Sprint customers (especially SERO), switching is usually costly. And unfortunately, at this moment, there are only 2 premium phones that we can choose from.
[Epic 4G General] J3ff:
People without SERO really dont get us sero users.

Even at 50 a month (with my 5pm nights and weekend perk) I will NEVER leave this plan.

[Epic 4G General] J3ff:
My dad has the evo, I have the epic.

Grab a halloween wallpaper with lots of pumpkins on it. Then compare the screens. I couldn't believe the difference. The epic hands down has darker blacks and more vivid colors. Totally worth it.

Also a few co workers this week complimented the screen.
[Epic 4G General] badasscat:
The OP is coming from T-Mobile. So there's no real reason he should only be looking at the Evo and Epic, and not much reason he'd have to compare only those phones to each other.
[Epic 4G General] PlankLongBeard:

Hi everyone,

I have battery indicator but I'm looking for an app that just replaces the notification bar slot thats taken by the default battery indicator (not the app). I saw one in a screenshot for example, with a circular icon.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Siks:
It wasn't an app you saw, it was a modification of the framework-res.apk located in /system/framework.

In order to use one you'd need to be rooted & you have to make sure you apply the correct file for your system's build.

Just search this forum for accurate battery mod threads & chose the style you like best. However, be *ABSOLUTELY* certain you get the right file for your firmware version! Applying the wrong one will probably cause continuous force closes from everything.

Out of curiousity, which scenario would waste less battery?

Scenario 1

While at home leave wifi on and set wifi sleep status to never

Scenario 2

While at home leave wifi off and let phone idle on 3g, only turn on wifi when doing something data intensive and then turning off wifi as soon as I'm done.

What do u guys think?

So after a search here and through Google I haven't been able to get this fixed. I was running CyanogenMod 5.0.8 without problems, but wanted to try out Chromatic 4.5. After flashing Chromatic, WiFi worked for a few hours, but then it just suddenly stopped working. From the "Power Widget" WiFi just shows the grey bar below it like it's turning on/off, but it's not doing anything. When I click it, it does nothing. If I go to Wireless and Networks from the Menu, WiFi shows "Error" up under it. The only possible solution I've found was for the Droid that said to try flashing the ROM using a GoldCard, but that was with the Droid 2.2 update. I gave it a shot anyways with no success. I tried flashing with and without the GoldCard, and in both scenarios I tried flashing with and without a wipe. I restored my CM backup and WiFi is working again, so it's not a hardware problem (which I didn't think it was in the first place). Any help would be greatly appreciated guys and gals.
