[Epic 4G General] murso74:
well it helps that you're grandfathered into the premier gold package doesn't it... i was counting on upgrading after the summer but now its gonna cost an arm and a leg. now that i'm used to typing on the screen i want to switch to someting thinner. that yearly upgrade was a huge plus for me.
[Epic 4G General] boominz28:
ya ive been with them since 1998 and I feel same way you do. phones will come and go. I do wish I had the upgrade too, and yes it does make me feel as though I bought a phone that sprint forgot about. but I will not be leaving because of an update or because of phone.

I actually think its pretty cool idea for 2 screens, I can see a lot of people using them. if we had dual samoled screens we would not be saying some of the things people are.
[Epic 4G General] Heelfan71:
Is Sprint the problem or Samsung? Regardless, Epic works great for me. Love mine. I am rooted on 2.2.1 though. But once you switch, you will see all the companies want your money, so don't expect too much other than a new phone.
[Epic 4G General] worldwidepmp:
I'm sure Cricket will make y'all happy. Just don't go under a tree or you'll lose your reception!
[Epic 4G General] Heelfan71:
Then go to someone else, but "urging others" to do the same sounds like you are disgruntled. :rolleyes:
[Epic 4G General] insanity213:
I feel that both Sprint and Samsung are the problem. Samsung is the root of the problem, but Sprint is doing a poor job of managing their hardware vendor so they're both to blame. I will absolutely never buy another Samsung device and I'm on the fence about Sprint. If Sprint comes out with a patch in the next 2 weeks (Either 2.1 or 2.2), or at least sets a reasonable expectation of when the the problems with this phone will be addressed I'll be inclined to stay. It may be a decent phone, but lets face it, the Epic has quite a few problems.
[Epic 4G General] CapsLockKey:
You still get the yearly upgrades, it's just you'll only get the 75 dollar credit on the silver towards it instead of the full 150. For how often Sprint releases new phones that are actually worth upgrading too, does it really matter anyway. It was 2 and a half years before I upgraded to the Epic because nothing Sprint put out there excited me enough to spend 200+ and a new contract until the EVO was announced. Honestly, that phone and the Epic probably saved their asses from long time customers like me who were just about to jump ship because the cheaper plans wasn't worth the utter lack of phone selection compared to competitors.
[Epic 4G General] adamw1101:
This is all sprints fault virtually all other sgs and all the us variants have it
[Epic 4G General] Ex0d0s:
Not true, the only US Galaxy S variant that has Froyo is the Vibrant in TMobile. The Fascinate seems to have leaked a recent 2.2 version. Captivate had only a firmware update recently.
[Epic 4G General] cnuckols1:
The $75 1 year upgrade is only $75 off the unactivated price. A new phone would probably be $525 instead of $200 on the previous premier customer upgrade. Huge difference.
[Epic 4G General] murso74:
there it is
[Epic 4G General] bomix:
Dang I was sure they were going to announce the IPhone on sprint.. well now they have a phone that looks like a kid's toy. I could see my friends saying.. dude.. why are you playing with a DS? :rolleyes:
[Epic 4G General] Xerloq:
Make a fake one. I'll be your fake friend.
[Epic 4G General] FoxRacR17:
Thinking about switching to tmobile this weekend actually, they are doing a promo where all their phones are free with a 2 year agreement. So I'm thinking about canceling with sprint, get a G2 or MT4G for free, then when the pyramid comes out buy it full price and sell my G2/MT4G and epic 4g on craigslist to make up for the difference :) I also see that they have a special of 1500 minutes and unlimited text and data for 79.99 a month which is pretty good.

[A7 General] masterfred:
I just dropped my A7, no damage, everything running fine, except there is now a small openning around the power button and I can't get the mat plastic to clip tight like the rest around ...

I didn't try to open it completely and re-clip it ... would that help ?
[A7 General] masterfred:
I need to fix this. Any ideas?
[A7 General] mingkee:
There are 2 "covered" screws (you must have torx) by the "dock port". Once you have unscrewed the screws, slide the back cover out, then you can snap the side panel back in.

[EVO 4G General] elegantai:
Probably :D
[EVO 4G General] starplaya93:
well I don't blame. I'm assuming you live in the stone ages since your hiding behind a stone wall and think this phone is cool...

haha. :D
[EVO 4G General] Klk450:
probably... i mean to make such a big hype for a phone that's a brick? no 4g...? no front facing camera? this literally looks like a Nintendo DS as a phone. It doesn't really appeal to me and probably a lot of other people.
[EVO 4G General] blackroseMD1:
Probably not. It is an industry first, but it's also pretty much just a gimmick, like 3D. I would have been much more interested in a dual core phone, or even an Evo with an updated processor.

I can see how it would be good for mulittasking...if it had the power of a dual core processor...but the specs are very underwhelming, and the battery life is going to be horrible.
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
Its not that bad a phone but sprint did themselves a great disservice by hyping it up so much. People where expecting something huge and instead got a phone.
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
it's sort of like taking a ds. And then taking out the gaming capabilities of it, and then.... selling it.
[EVO 4G General] Android 17:
Yes. Yes you are.
[EVO 4G General] mikeschevelle:
The issue is that it "may" be a good phone once some people get their hands on it and play with it.

But you cannot deny the overwhelming negative response (see their facebook page) as a pretty big sign that it may not be a good phone.

If you look at it from a sales/marketing POV they would much rather have a phone that everyone thinks looks really cool at a press release, but then falls a little short of expectation in the real world. At least they sell some phones, and the high initial praise helps sustain the life of the phone.

Now look at this situation, especially in this economy, 99% of the initial response is bordering "verbal lynch mob", even if it a good phone, how many people will actually give it a chance?

First impressions can kill...........
[EVO 4G General] datajosh:
It's an interesting concept, I'll give them that, but it's made by Kyocera, looks like a brick and not a lot of developers will go out of their way to make use of both screens.
[EVO 4G General] uniquenameevo:
I've seen almost nothing on the phone, but I agree. The hype was the worst of it.

I recall saying something similar would be great. I dropped the thought when tablets came.

EDIT-saw the video. WTF? Now I know why people said brick. I no longer have any interest even in passing.
[EVO 4G General] m4xwellmurd3r:
The biggest issue is that from what i understand, its a basic Android. Phone with a 2nd gen snap dragon running 2 screens. Won't that hurt performance?

Sent from my evo 4g
[EVO 4G General] mrfyisms:
Say "neat-o" and move on down the line.

You have been EVOfied.
[EVO 4G General] backdown:
4G - I don't have it...and i don't need it.

Front facing camera - Mine sucks..i hardly use it.

Maybe it's just the cool factor of it, but I think it looks more professional than the Evo.
[EVO 4G General] uniquenameevo:
And a frumpy ***** in a business suit (echo) looks more professional than a supermodel (evo). Guess which one I want in my pants?
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
lol. processor isn't to bad tho... same as as shift (which beats the evo) but clocked even higher.
[EVO 4G General] cheapskate88:
Nope. It's loaded with a first gen snapdragon... I repeat. Epic fail.
[EVO 4G General] elegantai:
now thats just silly! :D

But, remember,

you will never get an update past the OS that they ship it with

you get like a whole 5 apps that can utilize both screens, and no developer is going to waste time expanding their code base to accommodate this

and now i have lost interest! lol :D
[EVO 4G General] Blitzpwnage:
Actually its the second gen check out engadget fire more proof...i don't feel like providing it.

. Under the hood there's a 1GHz second-gen Snapdragon running Android 2.2 -- we'll forgive the older software because Kyocera had to do extensive customization to add dual-screen support to seven core apps like the browser, email, and messaging.
[EVO 4G General] datajosh:
Just mentioned this in another thread too but it's first gen according to Sprint's press release. The QSD8650 is the same processor the EVO has.
[EVO 4G General] Leukay:
Honestly, I think this is a pretty slick device. I really like the fact that a company will still try to make something different. Ever since the iPhone came out, every phone company has been trying to create a device that is "like the iPhone, but better." This phone is very unlike the iPhone, and I LOVE that. I could personally see myself getting one. The only thing I don't like is the line between the two screens, and the fact that it's made by Kyocera. Other than that, I give it a thumbs up
[EVO 4G General] cheapskate88:
So now I think there's a total of two people planning get one?

As long as no more than 7 people buy this crapola, I'll be able to sleep at night.
[EVO 4G General] Leukay:
Lol. I guess haters gonna hate. But really, it's just a matter of personal taste. And I respect everyone elses opinion, but I just think its great to see manufactures thinking out of the box
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
There is thinking outside the box and there is trying to reinvent the box. It just seems silly.

"Reasonable people gonna be reasonable."
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
To the developers and geek's its a waste. To the masses there won't be anything else like pulling out a dual-screen phone next to an iPhone guy and going "look, im on my facebook and watching a video on youtube at the same time". I have a feeling this phone is going to sell like hotcakes, nowhere near as the Evo or Epic but definitely sell a good amount to the younger crowd.
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
They wont be buying it if they look at the youtube video and see everyone bashing it because Sprint made such a huge spectacle out of it. That's like playing with peoples emotions and most don't like it when you do that, everyone was expecting more than just a new phone.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
True, but bashing a device that nobody here has touched is also pretty dumb. The only reason people are bashing it is because they feel "let down", not because they've actually used it and it sucks.
[EVO 4G General] Cole28:
I was expecting an evo 2 that transformed into a jetpack.....
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
I would consider it because the most reliable phone I've ever owned was a Sanyo and they are Japanese company that (correct me if I'm wrong) aren't made in China. That alone is worth it for me to take a good hard look at it.

But whoever planned this event goofed up big time, they sure got the attention they were looking for but I doubt it was the kind they where expecting.
[EVO 4G General] :
I'm embarrassed.
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
I don't think its bad... just over hyped. I wouldn't replace my evolution with it tho .. maybe if I was coming from a normal phone.
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
reminds me of a sidekick, but 2 screens and both touch, I can see this appealing to the younger crowd that dont care about rooting or software updates, they might even come out with A 2 player game to play on it utilizing the touscreens

but I think sprint better cut its losses now and concentrate on my evo2
[Droid X General] stayin100:
Just got the girlfriend a Dx and pushed her contacts over to her phone via a cellbrite, now I want to back them up to her gmail acct so we can root and flash then restore her contacts without backup assistance. How would I get these contacts to sync to her gmail?
[Droid X General] pandalcc:
I'm not sure how to backup them to GMail specifically, but you can back them up to your SD card.

You can also back them up to your Google Account by enabling backup in privacy.

Contacts -> Settings -> Import/Export -> Export to SD Card

After you export your contacts to your SD card, you simple import them back in after a ROM install ect.
[Droid X General] stayin100:
Yea I forgot about backing them up on the sd card.
[Droid X General] openbox9:
Why don't you just activate the "Sync Contacts" in the Google account settings of the DX?
[Droid X General] stayin100:
that got it, thanks. Its been so long since I did this on my phone lol...

[Omnia 7 General] Gp.:
I recently purchased a Samsung Omnia 7 online from someone who had won the phone in a competition held by optus.

It came with the proof of winning and it was all sealed, no issues at all with the transaction.

The phone works great, but it has a dead pixel right in the middle of the screen. It's small but it's annoying now that I've noticed it and lets face it, who wants to start getting dead pixels with their new phone.

I asked the person it says to contact on this letter with any problems and they said to return it to the store where it was won from (And I'm very far away from there since it's in Queensland) and they will start the repair procedure.

That's not really an option, it would be such a hassle to ship it back to the guy I bought it from and get him to do all the work. Plus it would take me a month to get my phone back between it being away for repair and then being sent back to be again.

I called Samsung and I have the option to send it to service centers in Sydney, but the guy from Samsung said it might not be worth it because it may have to be several pixels in order to be repaired/replaced.

I looked around and couldn't really find solid answers for mobile phone dead pixel policies.

Is it worth sending back or am I going to have to live with this?

It's a real disappointed, and although it's one pixel, this will say something about how Samsung cares about their customer and quality of product to me.

If I don't walk away happy, I won't be going Samsung again.

Anyway, to send it for repair or not too? Is Samsung going to care about one pixel? I don't want to do it, if it will be a waste of time.
[Omnia 7 General] uristic:
Hmm... I don't know about samsung repair policy, but I think that for phone screens 1 dead pixel is enugh to be repaired. For monitors and TV there need to be more... more than 10 I think but for a phone... I really don't know, if the guy from Samsung says that it will not be replaced than it probobly won't. Try calling again and hope that another person will answer not the same guy and ask him/her about their return/replace policy, how many dead pixels need to be there on a PHONE screen. You should also specify that it's a super AMOLED screen and wich phone model it is.

Anyway, it's not only Samsung, every other phone manufactures are nearly the same.
[Omnia 7 General] hboos:
i had a dead pixel on my old school omnia (i900) on the bottom left corner of my screen. I sent it to the samsung repair centre and they replaced the screen for me!

So good luck with your quest
[Omnia 7 General] kms108:
The international standard for dead/bright pixels is from 3 to 6 dots, no matter what size screens, but companies have there own policies, I know hong kong samsung has 3 whether it's a phone or a screen on a TV/monitor, so i imagine it's the same around the world, like wise apple has a 0 dead pixel on the iphone, but 3-5 on notebooks to over 7-10 on desktop monitors (i think, seen it mention somewhere), although apple doesnt state it, it's just for staff and internal referrences.

correct me if i'm wrong.
[Omnia 7 General] CreepinJesus:
To the OP,

Try this link: http://www.samsung.com/au/support/location/serviceLocator.do?page=SERVICE.LOCATION

When my antenna died, I popped in to my local repair centre and they had it fixed within 3 days, all on warranty. It may be worth calling them first if your nearest one is a long way.

Doing it this way means you can avoid going through the shop you bought it from and deal directly with Samsung (who don't care where you bought it, as long as it's in warranty).
