[Epic 4G Themes] sirens6:
thanks, but do i have to wipe anything first, when i tried flashing it before my phone froze on the first samsung.com screen.
[Epic 4G Themes] decalex:
If you're using syndicate ROM, I don't believe it's on DK17 build -- I think it's on DI18, so this won't work (hence freezing)

You would need to find a theme for DI18 (should say in the title of the thread).

..yes, confusing as hell with the names :) but whether it's DI18, DK05 or DK17, this is the most important thing to look for as far as rom/theme compatibility.

Looking forward to getting final build and the source.

Also if you need to disable the transitions, go to settings> display> select animations, then select "some animations". They can be disabled that way too...
[Epic 4G Themes] odub303:
The d/l link still points to version 1.0. Is there an updated link to v1.1?
[Epic 4G Themes] idkwhothatis123:
Just haven't renamed the file. I was 1.1 though. Link pulled until I can fix the theme.

I haven't had time to even update to dk28. From what I have seen so far though is that dk17 mods work on dk28. I say make a nandroid and then give it a shot. Let me know
[Epic 4G Themes] MysteryEmotionz:
The dk17 mods are working but with where errors.
[Epic 4G Themes] dalvarez7:
I tried the DK17 theme...it didn't work with the DK28 framework.

Does anybody else hate it when you press the fn key and try to correct something by pressing backspace and the whole message gets deleted? Any way to turn that feature off? It has happened to me way too many times now.
[Epic 4G General] thematrixkid17:
You might be able to edit the keyboard mappings to do this, but I don't have any experience in that area.

I just have gotten into the habit of holding modifier keys instead of tapping before the next key.
[Epic 4G General] rj7766:
Sorry your a step ahead of me...... I have been wondering why my message gets wiped every so often..... must be the fn thing...... I thought i was going crazy
[Epic 4G General] thematrixkid17:
yep, you hit function and then backspace.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
Just don't press FN...
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
Oh nevermind I think I just realized the situation you was describing lol
[Epic 4G General] 1999TL:
sometimes you are typing fast and then you try to add a question mark or something. you make a mistake and it still has that FN command blinking and you don't notice...you press backspace and bye bye to your whole message.
[Epic 4G General] jalladi:
While were talking about keyboard issues here (since I couldn't really find another place to ask) does anyone know how to "select all" which would normally be ctrl + A, for the epic. I was using gmail and wanted to delete "all" my spam mail at once instead of one by one. I know it something I did on my N900 easily due to the physical keyboard but after reading through the keyboard shortcuts from Cnet I didn't see this particular shortcut listed.
[Epic 4G General] shook187:
I believe I just push down on the screen for 3 seconds and select "select all"
[Epic 4G General] a454nova:
Happens to me at least once a day. Would love to see it go. : )

Sent from my SPH-D700
[Epic 4G General] jalladi:
Thanks for replying, I tried to long press on the screen in gmail but it only selects the the email I tap and when I long press the actual label for spam it doesn't do anything. I guess regular pc keyboard shortcuts aren't available with the keyboard on the epic, which is unfortunate... I love the keyboard though.
[Epic 4G General] drl213:
fn backspace

Any one have any news on this issue, regarding turning off the FN+backspace = erasing an entire line? :confused:

It happens to me AT LEAST once a week, but it's gotten old really fast. I agree with several users...it's just a function I don't need and end up accidentally deleting lines as a result. If I could just turn it off, I'd be MUCH happier than wishing it was there since I never use it.

Whether it's a setting or even an app or add-on that can help I'd appreciate it.
[Epic 4G General] PythonFanTN:
As much as I love the Epic overall, and I may well be in the minority on this one, but even months into owning it the biggest thing that screws me up continually coming from my previous keyboard phone is the placement of the Fn key to begin with. If I had designed this phone, the Fn and Shift keys would be interchanged position wise with the Fn key the one in the very bottom left corner.

[myTouch 4G General] daryllh:
I am going to post this in both forums. I think it will be an interesting read for each. haha

I'm on sprint. My Premier account is up and I can get a phone upgrade. I currently have a Hero and was going to get an EVO on Monday.

Because of the pro-rated ETF fees from Sprint, I can cancel my account for $120.

I watched several reviews for the My Touch 4g and was really impressed with the phone. The quadrant scores were cool to see. I realize that isn't the be all/end all but from the couple days of research I did on the phone, I am liking what I'm seeing.

I've read up on the EVO for several weeks now. I'm familiar with the phone and realize the amount of user support it has. I am 'pro root' so I would be looking for the root option in the future.

Price wise, T-Mobile and Sprint with WI-Max would be about the same cost to me each month.

With choosing to stay with Sprint I'd lose the Premier account status. I would have to sit with the MT4G for 2 years or buy out of pocket.

I'd be buying an 'older' phone but one that has a great user community. I'd probably be happy with the Evo until my next Premier renew date.

I'd have the Wi-Max network to use.

I'd have a better screen? I don't know yet as I haven't tried the MT4G at a store.

With choosing to go with T-Mobile I'd be getting a newer phone for the same price as I would pay for the Evo (ETF of $120 and I've seen the MT4G for sale for $80). Next gen processor.

I'd be losing screen real estate and the look and feel of the Evo which I've come to like.

I'd be losing the xda community support or the amount. I am sure the MT4G community will grow.

I'd be committed to T-Mobile for 2 years. I wouldn't be able to upgrade after 12 months.

***Coverage-wise, it's a tossup. I live in Minneapolis and have Wi-Max and from what I see on T-Mobile, HSPA+ is here too. A concern of mine is that when we travel back home (to eastern wisconsin) the coverage for T-Mobile is extinct. the website shows it using a different carrier. Sprint back home is 3g.

Not sure what I want to do. My friend who has an Evo looked at the MT4g and said he wouldn't switch based on looks. He hadn't investigated the phone in depth. Guess looks are important but I'm thinking a few other things that should weigh into the equation.

I'd be interested to hear your thoughts. I'll probably get fanboys from each forum but I'm sure there will be enough objective info to glean.

Thanks folks!
[myTouch 4G General] unremarked:
As you can see from my sig, I've had a decent amount of phones over the last couple years, and I can honestly say that the MT4G is my favorite of them thus far. Yes, even over the favored Nexus One. If the MT4G had "fastboot oem unlock" it would be perfect lol.

The big differences between the EVO and the MT4G is obviously the size and the newer hardware in the latter phone. Software can be swapped out at will, so if you don't like the mySense UI, give it some time and you can have your regular Sense or something like CM6. Hardware, on the other hand, can't be adjusted so if you pick the EVO you will always have the older Snapdragon and less memory. The screens on both of the phones are identical(as far as hardware is concerned), I believe, aside from the obvious size difference. The argument still rages whether or not the MT4G has SLCD or regular LCD(like the EVO). According to some reviewers, it's one. According to others, it's another. So, as far as hardware specs go, the question you need to ask is this: Do you want a bigger screen, but older internals? Or do you want a smaller screen(in comparison), but the latest and greatest?

On the topic of WiMAX: There was an article I read the other day saying that Clearwire, the provider of Sprint's 4G network, is cutting 15% of it's workforce to save money. This doesn't necessarily mean the company is in trouble, and most people speculate it's just Clear cutting costs to plan for the future. Your mileage may vary, but most reviews I have read have the HSPA+ of T-Mobile providing faster speeds than the WiMAX of Sprint.

On the topic of Community: Don't let the fact that the MT4G has a small community right now fool you. The phone hasn't even been out for a month, and we just achieved root the other day. When I moved from my G1 to the Motorola Droid, I was pretty unhappy with the tiny community that was supporting it and that was one of the (many) reasons I moved to the Nexus One as soon I was able. Now, the community is thriving. The same thing will happen here as more developers start getting this phone.
[myTouch 4G General] daryllh:
Thanks for responding. You brought up some stuff that I was thinking about but forgot to post. The Wi-Max thing is more about cost than anything. I've never had it and I don't like having to pay more a month for a phone that has it. My friend says that Minneapolis Wi-Max is about 8-8.9mb down. I don't expect that to be the same for me (I live about 15 miles away from where he works).

The cost of the plan with Wi-Max is the same as the cost of the HSPA+. Do I pay the extra money for Sprint or T-Mobile. Sprint's been good to me but it's not like they've been the most successful mobile communications company the last several years.

Another thing I thought of was that if I needed or wanted to get a different phone, the sprint CDMA choices are limited compared to the GSM T-Mobile phones (I'm talking on ebay).
[myTouch 4G General] unremarked:
My recommendation to you is to stick with GSM carriers. They're much easier to work with. If you end up not liking the phone, and decide to sell it (or trade it), it's as simple as taking your SIM card out and putting the new buyer's in. When I sold my Droid, both me and my customer spent half a day on the phone with Verizon trying to convince them to let her activate it. They kept trying to tell us they couldn't release the phone from my now inactive account until the billing cycle was done, which was two weeks after I sold the phone.

I'd invite your friend over for a beer and borrow his EVO and see what kind of speeds you get out where you live. ;) Speaking of, if for some reason, you actually don't have WiMAX where you live/work, you end up still paying the extra money for it regardless.

If you're worried about getting stuck with a phone you may not like for two years, why not buy it off contract? Yes, the upfront cost is higher but typically you end up spending less over a two year period than you would on contract. For instance, T-Mobile's "prepaid" packages are around $20 less than the postpaid. If you really end up not liking the service or the phone, throw it up on CraigsList or something similiar and try the other.
[myTouch 4G General] borodin1:
HSPA+, and T-mobile coverage in general, is a hit or miss in Minneapolis while Sprint is not too bad as far as I know. I mean, you will always have your voice connection but may be dropping to Edge quite often for data.

My suggestion: Start a new account with T-mobile, pick up MT4G with a different number and try it out for 2 weeks. If you like it - port your number to T-mobile. If you don't - return the phone and you won't loose much money.

Good luck.
[myTouch 4G General] itmustbejj:
Speaking as someone who broke his Sprint contract and sold his Evo (actually two of them) to switch to T-Mobile for the MT4G, I couldn't be happier.

That being said, the main driver for my decision was that Sprint still doesn't have WiMax in Indianapolis, and T-Mobile does have HSPA+. Sprint's 3G varies wildly here, and the places I was the most (work/home) had the worst signal/data speeds. Another thing about Sprint is it broadcasts on the 1800mhz channel which is known to have a problem penetrating walls.

I did love just about everything on the Evo. It's dev community is AMAZING. No Wimax or HDMI out on CM6 did suck though. And the gpu on the first gen snapdragon left a lot to be desired (like 27-29 fps on neocore).

Another thing to remember about Sprint is there is no data cap, whereas T-Mo has a 5GB softcap after which they limit you to a snail's pace.

I am very happy about my MT4G. The biggest differences for me are the improvement in network speeds (significant for me) and the increase of the gpu (the MT4G gets a 57-58 on neocore). Battery life is much better too.

I will say if I had WiMax in Indianapolis I would probably still be a happy Evo owner on Sprint, but they dropped the ball on that one.

Another point that might help, I recently read that after 3mpbs any increase in speed doesn't have a noticeable difference on webbrowsing unless you are downloading large files (maybe HD movies). What does matter is the pingback.
[myTouch 4G General] Jmayes1786:
Myt4g all the way I know several people with the evo and myt4g runs laps around it. No joke google mytouch 4g vs evo and see for yourself
[myTouch 4G General] InGeNeTiCs:
My father and brother both have the evo. Myself and a couple of co-workers(by my request) all have mt4g's. The mytouch is far superior. Sure, you're not getting a huge screen, but it seems to be the perfect mix of size and portability(read: pocketability), and there's no hdmi output(which I would never use), but come on....WIFI CALLING! How can you top that? You get service anywhere you can connect to a wifi access point. And that's on top of being super fast with the latest cpu offering from qualcomm. Everything about it is fantastic, even more so now that it's been rooted. I've been faithful to t-mobile for 8 years, and it's paid off. Their value can't be beat, and their devices just keep getting better. Did I mention the wifi calling?
[myTouch 4G General] rgoyena:
Just get an evo

[myTouch 4G General] c_licious:
welcome to the family!
[myTouch 4G General] unremarked:
I think you'll be very pleased with the MT4G. :)

Also obligatory run download from the market and run aLogcat after you get your phone to try and snag the update link for the rest of us!
[myTouch 4G General] JRDroid:
My mom has the ego and now I have the my touch 4G so I have used both quite a bit.* If you are stuck on screen size, get the evo, though I think it is too big and that the mytouch or vibrant are perfect screen size wise.* But in my opinion screen size is the only plus of the evo.* The mytouch looks better physically imo.* Plus the mytouch version of sense does everything the evo version does plus more, and it looks nicer van that just bar at the bottom of the original sense.* So I would go with the mt4g.* Plus Sprint has terrible customer service and tmo is great.
[myTouch 4G General] itmustbejj:
Sprints customer service is actually pretty good because they are trying to make up for years of sucking
[myTouch 4G General] ESKIMOn00b:
Tmo still has the longest standing #1 rank customer service record of any wireless carrier by far!

Both in continuous years running AND in total years...

Food for thought
[myTouch 4G General] Docsboard:
Just put my evo up on ebay, tried out the myt4 for a week , got similar data speed, not regreting
[myTouch 4G General] daryllh:
My friend has a g2 and he's getting 9-10 dl speeds around downtown Minneapolis.
[myTouch 4G General] borodin1:
I think I've worded myself wrong. Speeds are fine, the coverage is spotty.

My drive to work is less then 15 min (Hopkins to Bloomington/Richfield area) and I like to stream music on the go. My connection drops 2-3 times in that period every day. Every summer we go to Goose island on Minnetonka Lake. AT&T streams music fine there, all I get is Edge.

I could list many more examples but you get the idea. You have nothing to worry about though, you have 14 days to get back to Sprint in case you're not satisfied, I'm stuck with T-mobile for a long haul (4 lines, started service in 2001) since no other carrier can even touch what I pay now.

YMMV. Good luck.
[myTouch 4G General] daryllh:
I guess I can do that. I'll have to read up on what to do for you guys.

How come this download link is hard to come by? Wouldn't it have been logged already by somebody?
[myTouch 4G General] unremarked:
All you need to do is download aLogcat from the marketplace, set it to periodically save to your SD card(under Menu > Settings on the app), and let it run! Once you get your update, you can remove your app and send me the log in PM. It doesn't record any private information such as contest of text messages or emails or passwords so don't worry about that; rather it logs the background processes that runs the phone.

I know on my first device, I was caught up in the excitement of rooting and the idea of "Ah someone else will get it." On my new one, I've been running it since last Wednesday but haven't received my update yet. Once we have the link, everyone will be able to manually update if they have to change devices or don't feel like waiting for the OTA.
[myTouch 4G General] bijanian:
Im glad you chose the myTouch 4g because it looks MUCH nicer (imo) and it feels great in the hand. The screen is also (gorilla?) glass so it feels great compared to plastic screens, which I think the Evo has.
[myTouch 4G General] daryllh:
Ah, I see. Sorta makes sense now.

I will do that.

There isn't a chance that the phone will already come with the update? I'm guessing not.

Fed Ex says I'll be getting my phone tomorrow. Noice!
[myTouch 4G General] daryllh:
Just got the phone. First program I manually downloaded was logcat.

Do I just leave it? I clicked on it and saw the script keep scrolling.
[myTouch 4G General] unremarked:
While in aLogcat, hit the Menu button then go to Settings and select for it to periodically save the log to your SD card. They're fairly small files, so don't worry about it taking up all your space or anything.

So far everyone who has tried to catch it hasn't been able to, but I'm still hopeful.
[myTouch 4G General] lisap006:
what phone did you end up ordering
[myTouch 4G General] daryllh:
mytouch4g...black

coming from Sprint HTC Hero so obviously, it's a major upgrade.

I'm not to keen on all the pink t-mobile colors for the icons but that's going to be temporary.

Phone feels solid. Screen is nice. so far, everything is running smooth and fast. Exceeding all expectations.

I think I'm gonna ditch Sprint for this. I have to see what kinds of dl speeds i get at home. at work, I'm getting about 5-6.5mbs/second. I bus through heart of downtown minneapolis so I'm gonna look there too.
[myTouch 4G General] woldy2:

did they let you get it with the new plan (the promo plan for the holidays) i looked online at thier site and it doesnt show up there...just making sure before i make the switch too
[myTouch 4G General] itmustbejj:
Bank of America has a $50 rebate from wirefly so 79.99 from wirefly - 50 = 29.99 for new MT4G with contract.

I showed this to a guy at my T-Mo store and he matched the offer in the store for 79.99 plus a $50 T-Mo rebate and I got to walk out of the store with the phones.
[myTouch 4G General] woldy2:
thanks...im going to have to try and see what they say
[myTouch 4G General] itmustbejj:
You have to have a BoA credit card to get the rebate. You have to be logged in to see the $50 Wirefly offer. I took a screenshot of it and got the URL for the wirefly deal and email the store rep.

They want your activations and they just need something to show their boss in case they get called out for giving you the deal.
