Yes! I'm sorry I don't mean to insult anyone but its common sense that your connection speed is just that. The rate at which you receive data from the network. saying its justified just because my phone is more powerful Is like verizon charging people ten dollars extra for its fios service for people with a newer more powerful pcs. I spent 450 dollars on this phone if that doesn't pay for every cent of my hardware I don't know what does. Oh and by the way I do have 4g in my area. They will throttle you if you download too much in a certain period of time 3g or 4g. Its not sprint though... its clear who manages all wimax aspects of their network. And clear is a horrible company just google clear complaints. There's a whole forum devoted to people beetching about their service from them.

I have never seen a post from the OP that wasn't full of complete nonsense. It's as if the OP is a very angry mentally handicapped person. I really wish his parent/guardian would take away the computer privileges.
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
Its still ridiculous the number of 4G phone owners who don't have coverage let alone the number of major cities that aren't covered (no coverage at all in Arizona and Phoenix is the 5th largest city in the US).
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
Thanx man,now im definetly taking my epic back and going back to tmobile.People that talk alot on their phone should stick with sprint,but for someone that downloads alot of movies and music then tmobile offers higher speeds and no data caps(there are 2 unlimited web options and second one has no caps),i downloaded 20gb on average every month for 6 months straight.Sprint got me with false 4g and no 4g cap promises but now im stuck on 3g with 2g speeds,lol.Ok,Vibrant here I come and I wont miss hardware keyboard which I never use or front camera but I will miss led flash.

Now if I could only talk my girl into breaking her sprint contract,oh and if anyone is lookin to buy a mint condition Epic pm me.
[Epic 4G General] richse:
So you are switching to T-Mobile and you're getting the Vibrant instead of the Nexus S... I guess I'm still waiting for a post from you that actually makes sense.

Edit: Lol @ "mint condition" epic that you have downloaded 20GB per month on for at least 6 months.
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
"Posts from me that makes sense?"Lol,check my resume i contributed roms,themes and more to Epic forums and never once I had a "complaining thread".This is not a complaining thread but an opinion thread ,i just wanted to see if im the only one being played by sprint and found alot of usefull information from other people that I didn't know before about sprint and their 4g policies.Oh and over 20gb was downloaded on MTS3gs on tmobile and not on epic.Make sure u got some facts before u come out your mouth son.

My Epic is in mint cosmetic condition but it did see 4 months of use,if anyone interested in buying.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
He meant if your going to go T-mobile Vibrant, why not just go Nexus S (in a sarcastic kind of way)..I don't particularly think he was trying to insult you personally..

But overall if coverage is bad in your area then switching makes sense..I mean service comes first...If your still in your 30 days there is no fee to cancel it so you know..
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
do you guys not remember 5 or 6 years back, to get a blackberry, they required you to have a data plan? Guess what, I bought one! And I signed a contract! And the most amazing fact: 3g still wasn't available around my city!! Omg wow! Rght! Same exact situation now...guess what else? I don't ***** about it because I knew the facts up front.

A: no 4g in east tennessee

B: they charge $10 regardless of coverage

C: sprints still cheaper than VZW

D: Epic or Evo, the phones are badass regardless.

As for their claim of the processor is faster and it uses more data...I could argue the point either way. I do use about twice the data on this phone I did on mine.

The only issue I really hold with the premium data fee, is that Sprint is a little sneaky about it and there isn't a clear definition about what it is really for.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
Might as well get the mt4g....it has hspa+ on tmo...idk if the vibrant does, but i know the ns doesnt so it wouldnt make sense to get a ns because the op sounds like a guy who likes his speed lol
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
I brobably would but im a chomp for amoled screens and wouldnt settle for regulat lcd even if it had nvidia and dual core.Now when dell,htc,sony start making super amoled screens I will swith but for now it looks like im stuck with samsung which makes real good phones,now if they only imroved the software and updates.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
So let me get this straight, you are switching to Tmobile and are going to pay 79 dollars a month for a phone that can only do 3g so that you can avoid paying $59.99 + $10 4g fee on Sprint?

GENIUS I TELL YOU. GENIUS.

[Epic 4G General] h2g2:
Sorry, long time lurker and first time poster and wanted to jump in on this.

"Internet speed" is a bit of a vague term but layers 3 and above are largely dependent on the processor. Even layer 2 can be processor dependent although this varies based on how much broadcast traffic is present within a given network and the relative sophistication of the network hardware.

So ignoring the rendering of HTML, in your hypothetical scenario the processor is still responsible for all TCP handshaking, packet checksums and verification, retries if needed, etc. All of that produces a non-trivial load on the processor. This is why high-end servers with super-fast Xeon or Opteron processors can benefit from NICs with TOE and also why you can transfer more data using a less processor-dependent (read: simpler, less robust) protocol like UDP. Try, for example, benchmarking a file transfer with FTP vs. TFTP on the same phone. The TCP/IP-based protocol (FTP) will be slower than the UDP/IP protocol (TFTP) and part of this is due to processor dependency.

There are also plenty of internet protocols that are even more processor intensive - HTTPS, for example, requires key negotiation which is extremely processor-intensive not to mention the cryptographic hashes and encryption for the connection. A secure, encrypted file transmission will definitely be faster over the same network link on a phone with a faster processor. There are also protocols that are processor-intensive due to their complexity.

Lastly, remember that modern smartphones don't have processors, they have SoCs - Systems on a Chip - which integrate together a large number of components. In many cases, these include the I/O components necessary for the processor to talk to a wireless radio and in some cases, the wireless radio is integrated directly into the SoC itself. The relative quality of these components is also a factor in network speed (here, we're talking mainly Layer 1 but can also affect Layer 2 as I mentioned earlier). A low quality network chip that you might find in the lesser SoC in a lower end smartphone may offload more work to the CPU which is going to result in slower overall transfer speeds. Higher end SoCs may have network chips which implement more of the network stack in hardware - I don't know if any SoCs implement full TOE but if they did, you would only expect to find them on the higher-end chips in the higher-end phones.

So Sprint's response that the faster processor enables faster network speeds is not without merit. I doubt any of the reps you spoke to fully appreciate all of the technical aspects that underpin that claim but their ignorance should not be taken to imply malice.
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
On tmobile my average 3g speed was 400-600kbs,on sprint's 3g(we dont have 4g yet) my average speed is 60-220kbs and lately been about 50-100kbs at daytime and about 200kbs at night.

Now my att speed(2 years ago) on 2G was 60-100kbs,so right now im basicly getting 2G speeds on sprints 3G network,its never over 220kbs.Plus tmobile's network got upgraded to even faster speeds now,so if I was getting 500kbs now its brobaly 1000kbs.Tmoble hsdpa network is faster than sprint's 4g in some places,who cares if its 4g or 3g+ if speed is the same.Plus aint none of these 4g networks is trully 4g.

I was promised 4G in october now its january and still no 4g,i would probably wait few more months for 4G but nobody knows when its actualy coming to Buffalo NY,it could be another year or two before we get it,lol.Strange thing is that Rochester NY got it already but Buffalo(second largest city in NY) didnt.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
So your beef isn't the phone or the 4g fee, its that Sprint doesn't have good coverage in your area. If you are getting a good 3g signal, then its something wrong with your Epic. I get 3g speeds around 1200-2000k(bits)ps pretty much everywhere i go.

So to summarize, this entire thread is someone basically pissed at Sprint because they don't get good coverage where they live.
[Epic 4G General] anthromatt:
Disagree that it is necessarily coverage related or a defective phone. My EVDO speeds on Sprint have plunged from 1000-1200kbps at the beginning of the year to an average of about 400-500kbps now. Speeds are frequently less than 200kbps. My upload speeds are regularly twice that of my download speeds. This is on multiple phones in the same locations throughout Phoenix. I've never seen my Epic get over 1500kbps, and that was on 3G while in Columbus, OH.
[Epic 4G General] Machina2o2:
I dont get why anyone is complaining. There are people who live in non 3G areas but have to pay for plans that include 3G mainly because of the device they want. This is no different with 4G now since you have a device that is capable of 4G and you may or may not become a 4G area or travel to one in the future.
[Epic 4G General] anthromatt:
I agree. These are MOBILE phones. Just because Phoenix has no 4G doesn't mean I won't ever travel to Vegas, San Diego, LA, etc.
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
My beef is that im paying for 4g and 3g and getting 2g speeds on 3g network,while I could be getting better speed on just about any network.

So acording to you youre getting 1 to 2 megabites a second on your 3g?Im only getting 100-200kb/s,1000-2000kbps,i think we getting the two confused.
[Epic 4G General] anthromatt:
If you are getting between 1000-2000kbps you are getting very decent 3G speeds.
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
10 seconds to download 1 megabite?Its ok 3g speed if it was 2008,plus compared to tmobile's 5000-7000kbps it does feel slow.Plus sprint has terrible latency so those 2000kbps feel like 500.If you use yor phone as your primary internet than 2000kbps is not that good(no netflix,etc).
[Epic 4G General] anthromatt:
Agreed. Which is why I would never use my phone as my primary internet.
[Epic 4G General] crabjoe:
You could do a google search for Sprint 45 lawsuit. There's a guy that's suing them for the $10/mo fee because of the same thing that happened to you and also for a few other reasons. It might have class action status now, but I can't remember. A recording of the conversations you've had with the Sprint reps would surely help with such a lawsuit.

BTW, I think the real reason Sprint charges the $10 fee on all 4G phones is because their contract with Clearwire says they have to pay $5 per active phone, regardless if they are in a Wimax area or not. Sprint has started negotiations with Clearwire to append the contract to try and only pay where 4G is live. Who knows if Sprint will succeed or not, but I think the consumer lawsuit against Sprint has a good chance of winning. Really,wat does the premium data fee get you when you already have unlimited data, if not for 4G?
[Epic 4G General] crabjoe:
People are complaining because current Sprint plans are supposed to have UNLIMITED Data. Sprints plans doesn't specify what data network, it just says UNLIMITED. So why should anyone have to pay extra just because they have a 4G capable phone, especially if there's no Wimax network to use?

Should the cable companies be allowed to charge more because you have a bigger or high def TV?
[Epic 4G General] crabjoe:
I wouldn't say Sprint has the best pricing. Cricket offers unlimited, talk, text and data for $55/mo. In some areas (test markets), Verizon offers the same exact plans Sprint has, but on their network. There's probably more out there that I'm not aware of.
[Epic 4G General] JMMusic:
"Non-trivial" is up for debate. While I agree that there can be a difference, I'm confident that that difference will in fact be trivial. My Moment downloaded just as quickly as my Epic does (actually faster... not sure why).

And then there is the LG Optimus line, which has a 400 mhz secondary core dedicated to the modem. According to your reasoning, this will result in faster download speeds. I can actually support you on this because my girlfriend's LG Optimus S downloads faster than my Epic. Of course, there is no premium charge for the LG Optimus S... which belies the whole premium charge for hardware that will enable faster downloading claim.

The $10 charge, which I willingly pay even though I know with 100% certainty 4g service will not exist in my area while I still have this phone (and most likely will never exist here), is a revenue builder to pay for further expansion of the 4g network. Of course, even that isn't working out quite right as Clearwire has been hovering at the edge of bankruptcy for the past year, the chairman and founder of the company just quit this week, and they are actively trying to sell off their spectrum rights (that would have been used for 4g service) to raise enough money to keep the 4g service they do have in place alive.
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
Yeah I been thinking about the good ol cricket,how is their data speed?
[Epic 4G General] raylusk:
No Verizon doesn't.
[Epic 4G General] Sh0wNuF:
If you read the fine print in your contract *Unlimited Data* is only up to 5gb/month, sprint just doesn't enforce it
[Epic 4G General] nate13jp:
This it true if you roam on verizon enough they will ask you to leave. I suggest teather and download somthing off of bit torrent so they will end up losing enought money to give you to boot. Then go right back to tmo

I just bought a ps3 and im wondering what all I can do with it from my android. Whoops. Saw a midget stripper and accidentally posted. Anyways, ps3 doesnt reconize captivate. Do I need to download drivers for ps3 will that work? Did a forum search for ps3 came up empty so if you can point me in the right direction or shed some light id really appreciate it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dungeon47:
For a system to recognize the Captivate, or pretty much any Android phone, it needs compatible drivers installed. I don't believe there are Captivate drivers for a PS3.

mine has always worked, you just need to connect it as a mass storage device

[Optimus One, P500, V General] pedroh:
Hello,

I'm a new owner of a phone with android, since a month ago. The problem with my phone is that some time ago it started rebooting about 2 times per day (in some cases rebooting even I'm not touching it)

I tried removing almost all applications and didn't work (the first app was task killer since I read that's not needed).

One thing that may be helping the phone rebooting itself is that some times I see this notification: "SD card removed unexpectedly".

I have a 8gb class 2 card. But I tried with a 4gb class 4 card and same message appear. I tried formating both cards and didn't work.

Anyone can please help?

Best regards,

Pedro
[Optimus One, P500, V General] giokspy:
and my P500 do a restart the card SD (2GB, which was from the market) and probably due to the firmware of the LG (it has a .10 b) so I expect the update from LG that fixes the problem
[Optimus One, P500, V General] server3249:
thousands of us are facing this problem. LG are idiots to have released the phone with such a glaring defect.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] The_ERROR:
But also thousands of us doesn't have any problems with this. It's really strange and you can not say, that LG is idiots - maybe everything works before on testing. Maybe some factory failed in collecting, maybe some wrong series of components... maybe.... who knows.

One think is true - they should face up to problems and not do, that nothing happened.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] pedroh:
So the only thing that I can do, is wait for an software update from LG? (perhaps android 2.3 resolve it?)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] server3249:
I doubt whether this is related to software, since other phones don't face this issue. The phone has crashed several times at the end of a call, and I couldn't even press the disconnect button. When the phone doesn't even be stable and do the basic phone features properly, nothing else matters.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sincotan:
I also had this problem.

SanDisk 8GB cl2: reboot 2-3 times daily. Best 1% / hour battery.
