Hopefully moving to the Epic Touch. - Samsung Epic 4G 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.

Anybody know of the terms of the Sprint Well Program? I hate to drive all the way to a city an hour and a half away and be turned away. The phone has been replaced 3 times in 2 weeks, and the issues noted on the account.

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.

I got a call from Sprint around noon that my phone was in and I may get it tomorrow at 9am, but my buddy never got his pre-order call. He called the store and they said they already have all the phones and we are both welcome to stop by on our way home tonight and get the phone! WOOT!
This was an official Sprint store, not a 3rd-party Sprint store.

I already have the (original) SGS2... I can't get the Epic 4G Touch because Sprint doesn't exist in my country

Just some great news for the nice people here.

This isn't related to the Epic as much as it is to Sprint. I might have mentioned my mom works at Sprint. I live in Kansas City. A lot of people here work for Sprint. But, one of my best friends just got an awesome job there. Product Development and Testing. You all know what that means.
More idiotic rumors?
Sent from my Transformer TF101
slightly more informed speculation?
He said he would get a new phone every 4-8 weeks. It just means sometimes I might be able to help people decide if they should wait to use their update.
LOL, it's a Family Affair.... seriously tho congrats and keep the info coming
Thanks, and just remember, it wasn't a Dev that got the leaked LOS fix, it was someone like yourself helping out the community any way the can. If your friend wants to donate the old ones.....

That's what I do.
I get people to join sprint, they get my used phone or buy buy it cheap, and I get the latest for the reduced price and what ever I sold my last phone for. Everybody wins here in this case. Although I did buy my EVO 4g full price with a credit card, I can't justify spending 500+ on a phone ill only use for 3 to 6 months.
I live out in independence. I got a buddy who works at sprint but hes tech support. Nice to see some locals on here

Activation

If I deactivate my rooted epic 4G Touch would I be able to reactivate it without any problems?
GalaXy S ll [blazerV3] @ 1200x720
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?
I've never been charged doing a simple swap online

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?

Hey, I don't know if you signed another contract yet but I know for a fact Sprint is going to have a huge difference in service over the year. I mean HUGE. I mean really big difference. Like 4x difference. So, if you like the cheap prices you might stick around. Get an airave for home. If you want me to elaborate PM me.
I just don't want you stuck paying twice as much with another 2 year contract.

Your questions sound like the people who work in customer service and don't want you to leave lol. I have not decided what carrier yet but I do have ideas. I've been with 3 of the 4 majors so I know 3 services and how good/bad they are. Verizon is the only one I haven't tried but they are expensive. We will see. I can't rely on Sprint's network. I got a family. What if there's an emergency you know? I can't be getting voice mails 3 days late or text messages hours or a day after they were sent by the other person. And I live in a good service area, my bars are mostly up and I get 2 bars of 4G out of 3 bars so I just don't understand it with Sprint.

Found a broken screen epic 4g touch

Found this on the side of the road. The ESN is bad and the screen is shattered. I posted it under lost and found on CL but no one claimed it "correctly" Just took it down after a month. Whats it worth? It does work 100%.
I guess it's worth its weight as a standalone Android device. With a bad ESN, you won't be hooking it up to the Sprint network. It'll cost to have the screen replaced. You could use it as a media player at home or something, hooked up to your stereo.
You could offer it to a dev so they don't have to brick their own phone when testing releases.

give it to koush so we can haz cwm
Send it to a dev! I would say give it darchstar so he can use it to speed up his cm9 port but I am sure any of the devs would love to have it.
Does the phone still power on? Is the LCD broken, or just the front glass?
edit: I support giving it to koush for proper clock work mod support as well.
Yea donate, contribute to the greater good of mankind.
It was probably left on the roof of a car and flew off, the owner called it in missing.
Put up a poll with all of the Dev's and see who gets the most votes. I would suggest Calk or Agat.
i agree on donating it to darchstar, just flashed CM9 and it is awesome!!
