[Q] Empty spot in slide-down menu - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sometimes this says "Sprint", sometimes it has "No Service", but its seems to, at random times, be empty. It doesnt matter if im on 3g, wifi, or no data at all. Is this a known problem with EC05? It didnt do this on DI18 or EB13 for me.

Bumping cause i never got any kind of answer.

Its suppose to say sprint when on sprint towers. No service when connected to no towers. Empty when roaming.

Thing is, roaming is turned off, and I've got 3 bars sprint service right now and its empty. Does wifi being on affect it? Cause, 70% of the time I pay attention to it, its empty.

Usually I don't either, but when I do, its most of the time just an empty gray bar. Not very pretty. Obviously, its a stock problem lol

I've noticed this problem too when I was on stock. I don't think it was ever on EC05, but I definitely noticed it on EB13, and I think it's whenever you lose signal once, the "Sprint" goes away, even if you're signal comes back. A reboot usually fixed it for me. Either that or it's just another glitch from Samsuck.

Hopefully moving to the Epic Touch.

Some of you might remember me from the original Epic and my roms and work there.
I will hopefully be able to switch to the Epic Touch since I've had three replacements on my Nexus S 4G.
Going to try the store today and see what happens.
The zImage shouldn't be that hard to pull..
i dont think they put the epic touch on the wel exchange list yet, at least what my buddy thats a store manager said when i bought this on thursday told me.
hope you can get it to go thru though! good luck buddy

Well, I've been asking them to bump my upgrade up and I'll just pay the contract price for whatever device I want. Hopefully, that or I can just give them the cost of the Epic Touch.
I really want to port my ROMs over, and Sense.

I've been in constant contact with them for the past 2-3 weeks on the issue, not even looking to get a different phone, just one that works, but now they don't want to do anything for me since I've already had 3 replacements, the phone should 'already work by now'.

I'm waiting to release at the same time as the Nexus S Sense port.
We are also still working on some WiFi issues, but 3G works.
They have actually offered to buy back my Nexus for $100 and reset my upgrade eligibility so I should be good to go within the next 24-48 hours, hopefully today, so I can reserve an Epic Touch 4G.

You're thinking of two different things. EVDO Rev B is not active yet, EVRC-B is a speech codec for voice and has nothing to do with LOS.

Turned off EVRC-B and just now, ~5 hours after flipping the switch, I experienced a LOS. A quick reboot got the service back. So ya, turning EVRC-B off doesn't solve a thing.
I heard if you go to settings and change your meid to "1337" you won't get LOS!

If I deactivate my rooted epic 4G Touch would I be able to reactivate it without any problems?

You mean your service account? If so it shouldn't be a problem, though you may have to visit a Sprint store & call Sprint should you run into issues.
When my Evo went bad I had an old HTC Hero laying around & was able to reactivate it with no problems, but I did have to go into a Sprint store.
You should have no problems. I deactivated/reactivated my E4GT a couple of times online whenever I wanted to use my Evo 3d.

When you did that did you have to pay a activation fee to activate the 3d then again to reactivate the e4gt? I always thought even if you are just swapping service they charge you an activation fee. My brother has a spare iPhone lying around that I wouldn't mind trying for a day. Would I be able to swap the service free of charge?

Sprint has a page that you just swap esn's or go to your main page and click activate an account... Its rather simple and no need to speak to anyone, its all automated whether its your first or one hundredth time and if you have to pay it will tell you
This^
It's says something like "activate phone" next to your device in "my account". Takes minutes, just need the esn #. They would prefer you do it rather than call them up and waste their time, right?

I recently changed wireless providers and I am currently on AT&T now. I got the Galaxy S II for AT&T and I'm liking it so far. I would just like to thank all the developers for their hard work and the community with all that they have helped with. Also anyone that has every answered a question that I have asked, I really appreciate it. Its been good. Take Care.

I thought both Note and Skyrocket were based on snapdragon chipsets, not Exynos. In other words, Epic Touch is still the best phone in the US.

Exactly. And because Epic Touch has a larger screen, 4G and notification led, it's the best version of GS2 or any other android phone in the us.
He'd probably have to import an international Note just to make up for swapping out the Epic Touch. And that still may not be an upgrade if one cared about 4G (which I really don't, so it would be for me).
Congrats. You just downgraded your service provider and downgraded you device. AT&Ampt is the worst possible carrier and you no longer has the exynos chipset. If i was you i would do an about face. Return your AT&Ampt device. And NEVER EVER look back. Also i hope you enjoy getting limited to 2GB of Data thru AT&Ampt. And getting charged more for less minutes. Enjoy. Lulz.
