Support group for useless epic 4g users... - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am setting up a support group for epic users since we have lost our top status. Our phone only has single core and no 3d and no 4gb interal app storage and no sense 3.x.
We can meet online anytime and we can all say its still a great phone but now its not awesome just great

I'm eligible for an upgrade. I went to go play with an Evo 3D at Sprint, and happily left, Epic in hand.
(how is this a question?)

So just because are phone has no 3d its not awesome anymore

I think I know where this thread is headed....to sammiches! Sammiches for all before this thread gets closed.

Making a new thread every day?
The EVO3D really isn't that impressive, I played with an activated one about a week before it was actually released (for work, through a Sprint rep).
To start...
AMOLED screen wins hands down against any other display, including Retina.
New Sense had some neat features and the phone is definitely really fast out-of-the-box, but not any faster than the Epic with a good, reliable rom...
So I mean, if you want to run every application on your phone at once and not close anything, or don't know what a "Task Manager" is, maybe you'll need an EVO3D for the dual core. Other than that though, all it has is just a gimmick. 3D.
So many parents are going to give their children eye problems later in life by letting their kids play with it. Most of the people that have come through my work with one, over the past few days since release, don't even know about the damage the 3D can do to developing eyes.
Whatsmore, the 3D on the phone is worse in compare to the glasses-free Nintendo3DS.
The stock images in the gallery that are supposed to fully demonstrate glasses-free 3D...are not impressive. Most actually give the opposite impression; quite UN-impressive.
Reason being, the phone's 3D does a poor job displaying a high level of depth. Images with mostly shorter depth looked good, but once again...not better than the 3DS.
And to even use the 3D, you have to keep the phone glued in the same position in front of your face. If you don't keep it in the sweetspot, get ready to feel a bit of pressure on the eyes...
If they'd added some sort of depth slider, either via hardware or software (maybe embedded into image viewer or video player) then things would be a lot better.
I'm sure that most of the faults I find, however, will be fixed once some good developers take time with it.
For now...I think I'll be waiting for Samsung to release a dual-core phone before I make any thought about upgrading again.

I agree with you toweringflesh.

I hope we never get a epic 3d. I wouldn't want a crappy gimmick 3d effect on a phone as great as this. The evo 3d is a good phone but not worth the money for a crappy display and a stupid 3d effect that u have to hold at the right angle to even get a "somewhat"3d effect. Pure garbage. My epic ran smoother in my opinion

I was luck and able to unload mine for $350 but i think the only reason i got that was because I had flashed it to Boost Mobile. If not for that I wouldn't have gotten that much.
I still have my evo 3d and just got the epic..I think im gonna switch back. Not that the epic is t nice but it really isnt all that much better than the e3d IMO ...the camera is much better. Also my epic isn't playing nice with my airave and constantly making beeping noises through the earpiece ..its driving me nuts ...and I miss sense honestly ..

It is normal for 3 beeps to sound when you connect to an airave.
took me two weeks to sell my 3d. people just do not want that thing. on top of that, i only got 275 for it.
Good luck on the trade, but I cant see anyone in their right mind that would trade a s2 for a 3d.

The Evo3D Killer!!!
People over here act like the evo 3d is a terrible phone ..that's ridiculous ..I enjoyed it alot ..I will say that I think the epic speaker is louder., with headphones attached it is wayyy louder ..the camera is better ..but besides that with every day use I think they are both top of the line ..I wish I could put sense on this bad boy and it would be perfect ..I dont forsee a y software that either of these devices won't be able to handle for a while to come..and let me ask you guys something ..when. on the internet with the epic do you guys get checker boarding? Like even right now I scroll fast up or down it will give me black and white checker boards ..never happened on my other devices ..is this normal or am I having a issue

Dose anyone else get annoyed with this?

Maybe this is just me venting but im so tired of people with an evo 3d talkin crap about the gs2. Me and my girlfriend both bought the 3d on launch day and it was ok at first but as soon as i saw the white epic we both dumped the evos. The galaxy screen is bigger and brighter. Way clearer. The battery last twice as long. The phone its self is faster with no lag at all. And to me the main difference is the camera. The camera is 100 times better then that ****ty evo camera. People defend the evo i think bc they have no upgrade but want the gs2 so they live in denial lol. The evo 3d cost as much as the original evo now (49$) and it hasnt even been a year yet. If you have a 3d do yourself a favor....sell it on craigslist then buy your self an epic off craigslist. Mite cost you 200 bucks when said in done. If not please come to grip with the fact the 3d is nowhere near as good as the gs2

If your thread title is a question it belongs in the Q and A section.
Why didn't you just post this in the Evo 3d section then? Although Ranting in a public forum probably isn't going to get you far. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

Htc has a big following.... I'm not going to say they are similar to apple fans but people that started with Htc and loved it they have stuck with them. Out of all software skins avaliable from device manufactures I must say sence has been the best. Also rooting with that phone and other software stuff has been easier with the HTC evo line of phones.

Addicted to my phone

I'm completely addicted to my phone, like most people on XDA, I mean I m on it 24/7 as soon as I wake up, and no for phone call or text (it actually bothers me) Idk what to do, flashing roms, kernels, checking for updates, does anyone feel the same, that's one the reason I had an iPhone I was limited to what could I do on it, was going more to the gym and what not, I know I can limit myself but is hard, anyone else wants to admit they are too? Anything that you have done to get away with it? And has it work?
I get emails and there not even important, going back 4 years ago is when started, getting the evo a few years back made it worse, I could actually watch hd youtube on it and stop using the computer less and less, where I work I'm the GM and I could check my phone whenever I want and that's bad, I mean looking at might stats I could spent up to 6 hours with my screen on, now it feel like a job to check my phone then anything else, you see xda members asking for the next update or when cyanogen is releasing his work on XDA, is crazy to admitted but truth at the same time, even think of unrooting my phone sometimes and I can't just give it up, anyways guys I just want to see how many people feel the same way, thank you for reading
Thanks for the responses xda members

Hello my name is JayVee and I am also addicted to my phone. I have not gotten rid of that just new feeling you get with a gadget. There's no slowing down with this one. I listen to music, browse the Web, watch YouTube vids, and play games on this thing all day. I even refresh my twitter feeds 1000x per day on here. I use it more than my 2 computers. The first thing I do when I wake up is say good morning to my phone to wake it up and it feels so sweet when it listens. Makes me smile. My friends now call me antisocial because I'm on my phone more than I talk to them when we hang out. Idc tho.

Funny. Not because the addiction but because after they showed it was Windows phone, people seemed to not care as much..
So my name is Joseph and I am also an addict lol. Thanks for your honesty. I started with an HD2. I didn't even know about rooting or flashing and thought Winmo 6.5 was great lol. Then my buddy Wilfred turned me to the XDA site and it's been full on every since. My wife and I have always had the same phone HD2 and now Galaxy SII. When I wasn't fooling around with mine I was trying to doctor up her phone. I can't tell you how many times I have been up all night trying to fix something I broke on her HD2. oops lol. She would get so mad because I would accidentally erase all her apps and have to start over. ( During my noob phase ) But the only thing to do is sometimes just TURN IT OFF! I can hardly do it but sometimes thats the only way. I will leave it upstairs while we hang out downstairs so she does't get mad. I just got a great deal on the SSGSII and now I wish I had've waited on the SIII. lol. Oh well. :silly:
ADDICTED! you bet, I do my HTC-Hd2, mytouch4g, SamNote i717, and this one. Checking for anything to do on any of them, lucky for me the wife is all into it with, also a manager, so I am on them all day also...it's a DRUG...hehe

Angry much? does it affect you directly? Not bashing it and I'm not the only one that thinks its not a worthy upgrade. I've had the gs3 and have first hand experience with it. By the way Ive pointed out good things with it also.
Let's just say the ones like yourself are the minority. I've also had first hand experience with it ( even flashed paranoid android on it for a friend ) the phone is an upgrade. I've done side by side app loading and games run much better too ( dead trigger runs at 40+ fps vs the 20-30 it gets on the t989 ) I don't know what your beef with it is. Seems to me like you're over infatuated wuh this device. Be that as it may its just annoying to read your gs3 bashing in every thread. How would you feel if I did the same as you and belittled the t989 in every thread?? Its just unnecessary.

When you come back to earth and realize the phone/s in your hand are just pieces of electronic equipment that have a life of roughly two years, sometimes less then talk to me, have a nice night.

Lol OK dude. I'll be sure to quote and paste your reply next time you bash the gs3. Remember, you're the one running around saying things like you have an agenda against the phone, not me. Maybe you should reread your paragraph and realize you're talking about yourself.

Can you all stop it. I'm tired of seeing this shiznit. Especially you Dr. Evil, we get it, you don't like the s3. Some people think it's a worthy upgrade, some don't. End of story

Glad to hear of the update. Should be good for the development for this device.
If I could afford a s3 I'd have one. But the s2 will have to do me till my upgrade time.

Exactly why I said he must've been talking about himself lol its cool to have an opinion. Its not cool to keep rubbing it in peoples faces over and over again as he does. Especially when its widely considered false. Anywho back on topic.. I feel like it will be a long while before we get JB. This article is referring to the international. All the gs2 minus the t989 runt have the same exynos/mali 400. Won't that cause some issues in porting if I'm not mistaken? Anywho I hope I'm wrong for all our sakes lol JB has made a lot of headway on this phone but it isn't close to how JB handles on the galaxy nexus. I flash my home girls gnex at least twice a month and it really makes me want to sell this phone and pick up a gnex lol. No bugs and its actually noticeably smoother. That gallery loads so fast and flips through photos so fluidly you'd think there was a quad core CPU in that thing.

As part of the T-Mobile BOGO promotion, I got the Galaxy S II, and my mother, the Galaxy S III. I recommended her to get the Galaxy S III for her first Android smartphone, but then when I went to T-Mobile they said they had a school sale going on, buy their newest 4G phones, and get another selected phone for free (mail in-rebate in the form of a Visa card with the amount you paid for the secondary phone.) While the Galaxy S II is the child of the Galaxy S III, they are almost similar. There is no reason to hate either phones, because honestly I've had the chance to play with both (My SII and my mom's SIII) and they are awesome phones. The SIII has a few more features and slightly better hardware, but isn't that what you pay for?
Edit : Also with Gallery3D I prefer to switch it with the 3RD party application, QuickPic. Uses less RAM, (thus less battery) and to me is much faster. Give it a shot if you're looking for a fantastic image viewer.
None of this has to do with the OP... Seriously, if you think people care about your opinion on a phone, you're in for a rude awakening.

Love this phone

I have owned literally EVERY high end android device that has been available in the US. Even some that haven't for that matter. But this is by far the best device i've ever owned. It excels in every area. The display is phenomenal, the specs are top notch, and the real world use is where it should be considering the power this thing flaunts. As far as smoothness and fluidity go it's in a league of its own. I've had the note 2, i've had the one x+, I've had the dna, and they cant even hold a candle to this device. All we need now is for some of the awesome devs we have to pump out some JB ROM's and we're golden. The dev support is there though. With all those things considered, I'm going as far as to say this is the best phone ever made IMHO. Thoughts anyone?

It's okay. I love walking past people talking about how they have the best phone with a GS3 or an iPhone in their hands. Lol

At my school they know my word is golden- I have the best phone available, and nobody else has it. I love being a tech geek. But really, If youre not on sprint or verizon you should just get a nexus 4. Its almost the same thing, but better software side. Also, not many people like LG so not as many users (or devs) as we would like. JB is on its way though. I tried a few methods along with other devs, and well get eventually.

Before I made up my mind on this phone I did a little research..I read so many articles downing this phone..the UI seemed cartoonish..unable to access the battery..no microSD slot..how it had great specs "but"
Man they really missed it on this one
I agree, this phone is truly amazing and I'm certain with its international releases it won't take long for the word to spread

Ya last time at best buy i had this guy run quadrant, on his s3, than I ran quadrant..... I sure u know how that went...
The problem is that there is a new wave of quad core phones that r about to hit the market n over power our bad boys so this absolutely amazing phone will sadly never be acknowledged

Don't agree. Once we had 2 gig's of RAM and 1.5ghz quad core in a phone they pretty much locked future proof in the bag.

Severely doubt that rumor. Samsung is Android's Apple. They will bump as minimally as possible to sell the next model. Quad core, 2gb ram, 16gb storage. Book it.
This phone is the best on the market outside of the Nexus 4. If we can get past this bootimg bull**** from Sprint and LG we'll have a really fun phone. HTC Evo had a very slow takeoff as well, and before you knew it there were too many roms. We're almost there and I love it.
Best phone ive ever had by by far! Love everything about it! Glad i didnt get the note 2. The pro is going to be pimp to.

I can honestly say this is he best I've had so far. At first I was considering the iPhone 5, but too many people at my job had it. Did a lot of research on this phone and saw a lot of people bashing it before it even came out. When the phone was released I went to sprint to get a feel for he phone and they didn't even have it on display! No love was given to this phone at first. I took the leap and bought it at bestbuy anyway. Best decision I made as far as picking a phone. My brother got the gs3 and when I showed him my phone he liked the lgog more. Not to mention his phone is always on the charger as opposed to mine lol. Glad this phone is getting some love tho.

At my school (I'm a teenager) everyone has either iPhones or Galaxy or an older android. No one honestly has the Optimus G, as far as I can see.
And everyone is like "I LOVE YOUR PHONE!!!" I am very happy I got this phone.
At first I didn't want it with rumors being LG wasn't the greatest and....no removable backing. But I bought it and it was the best decision ever.
Only thing that would make it better is if the JB update came to my area already

This may be shallow of me but love how the phone feels in my hand-the form and solid feel of the build. Just feels very well made. How well it works is just a bonus!

Agreed. I almost didn't want to put a case on it because I like the feel of the phone. A case is a must tho.
