[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Well I have been defending Sprint and Samsung a little too long. I am going back to my HTC Vogue for awhile. Yeah, that old thing ;)

I have been a HTC man from the start, but they disappointed me on both the HTC Vogue by leaving out OpenGL driver and then on the HTC Hero by ending it's support early for it, and never releasing 2.2. That's why I went to Samsung. I was hoping that the best phone by FAR would get excellent support. I was wrong.

I want to test out LG and Motorola Android devices, but Sprint isn't getting any GREAT Moto or LG devices, like the Atix/Bionix or the Revolution or the Optimus 3D. I'm with Sprint til the end. I will never switch to another company, unless T-Mobile and Sprint merge because I envy GSM devices ALOT. I don't care what happens. I love Sprint and I love their prices. I never have had a problem with them. I know I'm a Sales Rep for them, but I'm being completely unbiased here.

LG is still new to the Android game, so their support is undetermined. Will they be another Samsung/Motorola? Or will they be a HTC/Google? How about I just not take a chance.

From now on I will only buy Google flagship/supported devices or HTC devices. Sadly all the great devices from both of those go to GSM, except for the HTC Evo. The Evo blew away everyone and broke all the records. Now Sprint is probably going to do it again with the HTC Evo 3D or the Google Nexus S 4G.

Nexus S is Samsung, but it is Google supported. It will be the first CDMA Google device, if you don't count the Xoom, which I don't. The HTC Evo 3D will be the most supported by Sprint. Sprint will defintively be pumping money into that phone like no other. That's why I said I will really need to take some time and think about whether to choose the Nexus S 4G or the HTC Evo 3D. Both are going to be highly supported, the Nexus S more then the Evo 3D just because it's Google's FLAGSHIP CDMA device, but the Evo 3D will likely be the second device to get all the updates just like the first Evo did.

It will all come down to which one I like more in my hand. I will be writing a review for all the devices I try out on BriefMobile.com, and I will include my decision on which device I decide on.

Nexus S 4G vs. HTC EVO 3D

Which one will win my heart for the next 6 months? We will find out in 2 weeks when I get to see them up close and personal! :)

EDIT: Major +1 is Netflix support too. I have had Netflix for the past 5 months and I cannot live without it. My next phone must have it or else...
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
Briefmobile? I'm subscribing now.

EDIT: Thought it was a magazine subscription, will read your article online.
[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
You make some great points,Ive owned about 6 samsung phones,this might be the last unless like you said,"its gota be a google suported phone"... So Ill be keeping an eye out on your choice and reviews.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Yep, I write part time for BriefMobile.com

I put everything I ever find or review on there. A lot of exclusive material. And yes, come March 21st through March 24th, I will be writing non-stop because of all the stuff I will be reviewing down in Orlando. I have numerous briefing and meetings scheduled with alot of big name companies and their CEOs.

One that I cannot wait for is my meeting with LG on the 22nd at 4pm. I will get a look at the two new devices LG will be showcasing at CTIA. And my CoolPix S80 is ready to do some work :)
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
Good luck bro. Thanks for everything you've done. Ill definitely be checking out your articles on the next devices.

[Epic 4G General] snowmanwithahat:
I think I will be following you down that Nexus S road if that's what you choose... I love everything about this epic except for the carrier branded crap, touchwiz, the loose and flimsy screen and the size because of the keyboard... the Nexus S looks to be a nice balance
[Epic 4G General] snowmanwithahat:
Any chance you can get CarrierIQ and the ACS SFR thread some attention by putting up a short news posting?

I really would like it if we could get some attention out there for it, even if it is just purely pointing out that it exists, and that a specific Sprint / Samsung combination has it.
[Epic 4G General] abduljaffar:
bye. Enjoy your future new cheaply crippled fragile htc devive. Make sure you do get tep, cause you WILL need it once the lcd screen fails like usual.
[Epic 4G General] iSaint:
Peace bro was nice having you here
[Epic 4G General] Tahde:
Thanks for everything you have done for the community!

Cant wait to see the results on your findings at the show!
[Epic 4G General] Jayavarman:
Your departure caused me to cry on my pillow at night.
[Epic 4G General] bagelicious:
Definitely keep us posted. I'm in the same boat and I am also considering both of those phones. I would love to read your early reviews on them!
[Epic 4G General] galaxywhat?:
Hmm how much did you sell it for? I want to know how much I should sell mine for. or should I sell my Evo?
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
If you have both,sell the Evo first. I would have loved to keep my Epic, but I need money and I want something else. Something with more support too.

The price is still being negotiated, but it is basically a done deal
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
I'm suprised that you would even consider an lg. those and htc are the most returned phones because people break them constantly. My wife went through 3 htc moguls and an htc touch pro in 6 mths and she is not hard on her phones at all those brands are garbage. I would suggest a moto phone tho if sprint ever gets one. The nexus s 4g does look inticing.....
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
The HTC Windows Mobile devices sucked besides the HTC Vogue. And in reference the a man who posted earlier. HTC is not crap and isn't flimsy. It is better made then Samsung's plastic. :-P
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
Disagree, with you there, the vogue sucked hard!! the tp was a great improvement but was ugly square and uncomfy, the tp2 was good but lacked a lot of things,

Every htc phone ive owned on windows mobile hardware always broke or was slow, for example my vibration always seemed to break then the replacement froze all the time,

Since i got my epic, everything works great, looks great not missing any feutures unlike htc who always leave stuff out:

The phone that im most impressed with from them that has nice harware currently is the htc arrive unfortunately is goning to have windows phone 7 and the processor is going to be outdated shortly, but seems htc made a phone with everything hardware wise you could want! but just too late and has crappy windows phone 7
[Epic 4G General] flopez76:
It all comes down to what people like. Personally I like Samsung devices, coming from the Moment. But an HTC device sounds good but I'm not really liking the 3D part.

[Epic 4G General] InfDaMarvel:
Does briefmobile pay you to write for them or is that just somthing you do in your freetime? Thinking up career ideas currently.

And if id were you id go for the Evo, probably going to be the 2nd most supported device on sprints line of phone. Itll also have some newer tech we can hope. I doubt the nexus s will have a new proc.
[Epic 4G General] Quis89:
So we know for a fact the Evo 3D will be by HTC?
[Epic 4G General] iSaint:
Yes it will be HTC
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Yeah, Evo 3D will be supported by developers way more then Nexus S 4G. I know that for sure.

And I will have to disagree with you there iSaint. HTC Vogue put HTC on the map. Vogue was one of the best devices probably ever made. For the technology it had at the time, it blew away everyone. It was the #1 selling phone for along time. In fact, I bet 90% of developers on this forum and PPCgeeks had an HTC Vogue at one time or another. I know that doesn't make it good, but it really was and that's why everyone had it.

EDIT: The deal fell through. I am trying to sell it again, but I will still getting a new phone no matter what. Using my mom's upgrade :)
[Epic 4G General] iSaint:
Ummm "disagree with you iSaint"

lol, bro i never said anything about the HTC vogue ^_^
[Epic 4G General] iSaint:
O Bro two quick questions for you -_- (shameless i know)

1. If i "lose" my phone will a sprint store give me a new one ?

2. If i magically found that phone i "lost" can i sell it ?
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
1.If you have insurance it will be $100

2. The ESN will be blacklisted for Sprint so it loses most of it's value, maybe you could sell it to someone to flash to another network.

I don't recommend it since it's insurance fraud.
[Epic 4G General] iSaint:
Thanks.... just wanted to know if they store will give it to me i hate to wait for shipping from asurion
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Hey, post your Epic for sale on:

http://swappa.com/

Its a site run by redditors specifically for selling your Android devices. Its really a nice site and people say that things sell very quickly.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
O dude, my bad. My memory recalled you saying that :-P

and thanks muyoso, I will definitively post it on there as well. Between that and eBay it has to sell quickly...
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Yeah, Asurion replaces lost or stolen phones. Sprint only replaces damaged ones
[Epic 4G General] dreamsforgotten:
Thanks for you're work seriously, and sorry that your leaving
[Epic 4G General] ghostrid3r:
Best of luck on the next device you're getting. We seem to keep bumping into each other from back in the PPC days of Touch to here now. Who knows, I might check out your post CITA/Sprint convention review on those said devices seeings that we seem to have the same experiences and view points. In any event, thanks for all your contributions to the community and hope to see you around town.
[Epic 4G General] gtuansdiamm:
Im sad to see you go and post on epic general fourms how you.like your new phone when you get it.

One question how do you sell a sprint phone dont they get permanently deactivated when you change phones?
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
No, they only become unusable on Sprint if you report them lost/stolen or don't pay your bill.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Just in case anyone is interested in buying, I posted this in the Marketplace on here but it got closed because I said it was sold.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...82837&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT#ht_562wt_1139

I know the asking price is a little high, but then again you are getting a lot from me, and I mean alot.
[Epic 4G General] gtuansdiamm:
So if i wanted to i could just give my mom my phone and have the number changed to the one she has?

I dont plan on leaving the epic until september of this year maybe later im just wondering because i dont want to just have my phone just sitting there i want it to be used since it is a pretty good phone and since im realy the only tech savy person in my family nobody would realy care of they got a "outdated" phone when i update
[Epic 4G General] flopez76:
Yes, you'd just swap ESN numbers, I do it still the time. It's actually how I got my Epic, I just used my girlfriends upgrade.

Sent From My Command Center... (aka basement)
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
You need to put a different phone on your number first, but once you do that you can do anything you want with the Epic after.
[Epic 4G General] gtuansdiamm:
Thanks for the info
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
So selfish! Just kidding, I used my brother's upgrade for my Epic. LOL
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
I don't know what's wrong with the Sprint store near me then, they told me to use someone else on my plan's upgrade the phone would have to be on their account for a month or I'd be charged full price. Is there anything special you guys did to get the upgrades from other people?
[Epic 4G General] abduljaffar:
keep lying to yourself. All the htc chome painted phones flake and chip. Unlike epicd chome, not on crack. Enjoy your htc crippled device. Sayonara!
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
i think if you buy a phone from sprint and dont leave it on the line it was purchased for, the worst they could do is not give you the mail in rebate. there is no way they can charge you full price, after all, the subsidized price is based on you signing a new contract.

this has nothing to do with sprint official, but ive bought phones from amazon on sale with 2 year agreement and never even activated them, just sold them on craigslist.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Thats why you buy from Best Buy or RadioShack...
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
right. they include the mail in rebate up front, so you dont have to worry about being denied!
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
If anyone cares to see the quality of my reviews, here is an example of one I just wrote for V-MODA Remix Remote heaphones: http://briefmobile.com/v-moda-remix-remote-headphones-review

I will write one similar to that for the HTC EVO View, the HTC EVO 3D, and the Samsung Nexus S 4G
[Epic 4G General] abduljaffar:
Not bad. Pretty good. Ill look forward to the evo 3d review since htc makes cheap phones. Canr wait to see the 3d.
[Epic 4G General] flopez76:
Yea they are full of it, I went to Best Buy, and told them I wanted to use an upgrade from another phone number on my plan and they said ok with no questions asked.

Sent From My Command Center... (aka basement)
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
What he says is TRUE. In order to obtain the rebate (usually ONLY Sprint stores), you must have the phone active on the same phone line for 30 days.

If you did it through Bestbuy, Amazon, Radioshack, or anywhere that doesn't have the rebate, you're good to go.
[Epic 4G General] flopez76:
Oh, I see. In that case no they're not full of it... for once ha.

Sent From My Command Center... (aka basement)
[Epic 4G General] lazydazed:
But if its the instant rebate, same rules apply... or they will bill you for the full price. Radio shack for sure will :-( found out the hard way. Argued my way out of it, but it was a sticker shock when they billed me..
[Epic 4G General] imtjnotu:
I think I may swich over to windows phone 7..
[Epic 4G General] luckylui:
Going w both :D
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
The thing is, if I sell my Epic, my mom is eligible for an upgrade so I can use hers and buy which ever one is cheapest for full price. Then we can have both.
[Epic 4G General] azyouthinkeyeiz:
Lots of accessories? That's a 2.00 Amazon case and a 29.99 external charger and a 10 battery.. and then what came in the box... lol Lots infers more than what you can count on one hand.

Have fun with your Vogue... At least it didn't price gouge you for its box accessories... 500 lol
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Ok let's go through the list since you deem to be a troll and a person that thinks he is right about everything.

- Sedio Innocase Surface Case and Holster Combo: List price $49.95 Right now is $31.87 on Amazon

- Li-Ion OEM Cell Phone Battery (1500 mAh): List price $34.99 Right now is $12.38 on Amazon and there are two of these.

- Amzer Spare Battery Charger with USB Output: List price $14.99 on Amazon

- ZAGG Invisible shield: List price $24.99 on ZAGG

- Samsung CAD300UBEB/STD Standard Car Power Charger: List price $19.99 Right now is $3.67 on Amazon

- SanDisk 16 GB microSDHC Flash Memory Card: List price $99.99 Right now is $21.86 on Amazon

- OEM Samsung USB Travel Charger Adapter w/ Data Cable micro USB: List price $7.49 on Amazon

All come out to a total of $129.63 without taxes if you bought all individually. Considering the Epic is going for around $350 on eBay, and I really paid FULL list price for all the accessories I just listed, $450 is extremely cheap.

EDIT: I lowered the price to $450, not $500 anymore.
[Epic 4G General] azyouthinkeyeiz:
It was all good hearted joking.. sorry if any offense..

I am running firmware V 2.2 (yes,2.2) and dexter mod 1.3 though it says 1.2

Any help would be appreciatedll
[A7 General] jetracers:
I had this happen also, it is mostlikely the tv set, it wouldn't work correctly when i plugged it into my 2006 27" olevia tv, but worked correctly on my newer tv. so im guessing it is either:

1.) the tv set

2.) the cable you are using

so to verify you need to try changing the cable or tv set.

Ok, so I recently jumped into rooting and flashing my MT4G. I am using CM7. My question is I am getting a lot of little lines across my screen, but only when the phone is actually doing something, like loading/processing something. Could it be the rom, or the theme I'm using? Thanks guys!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aalsmadi1:
Idk what you mean, screen shots perhaps? Or mauve a youtube video?

I have a new VZN Galaxy Tab SCH1800 which I rooted using the one click method found here.

I successfully rooted it using the one click method I found here. Everything worked great until I attempted to flash overcome_v1.2.1. kernel thru Odin and gets hung up right at the end of installing the movinand.mst. The photos are what I receive when I attempt to wipe data/factory reset and clear partition.

I can finally get into recovery mode but even when I reboot, it brings me here.

Someone please tell me whats going on? lol..I been at this for hours
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coolsaber57:
You need to reflash a VZW kernel. You can't use the Overcome kernel, it's for GSM tabs only.

Either use the stock VZW kernel or ust Boushh's Voodoo kernel. However, wipe data and cache before you do so!

I had the same thing when I tried to flash overcome and kernel , I followed instructions and I bricked it . Then I flash stock and tried again without .pit file and it worked like charm . I am running overcome now , no problem . Try flashing without .pit file and see what happens . I loved the tab right out of the box , I will never use it as phone , and I have SOOO much use without it anyway . Wifi , videos , Chat , wifi web , GPS , music , Book reading . Well I can't burn cd's but still love it
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jinsoku3g:
What kind of tab are you using? He's using vzw which is CDMA

From the looks.of.your screen shots you wiped your partition. You need to repartition before.you flash anything other than the stock vzw firmware..even then it will get fc's

I recommend khasmeks kernel and rom with vzw..
