I decided to make a video comparing my epic touch to a now sold g2x. I always thought the g2x was pretty quick and didn't have problems with the speed, just reboots and lcd backlight. I'm glad to say I haven't had those issues with my samsung phone.
Overall I think the Epic is faster, not by a huge margin though. The battery life is absolutely amazing and don't have any complains.

I loved my g2x.... But the back lightbleeding and overheating killed it for me...
Btw love talons as well I got a boosted 93 tsi

Super Amoled Plus is definitely more enjoyable for watching movies instead of that white backlight.

I've seen this in another video, and they said it's the camera trying to focus, so I guess that's what the noise is. I didn't hear it while recording.
You guys talking about backlight issues, is that anything like the "light seepage," I experienced on 3 brand new EVOs out of the box? It wasn't huge and didn't effect function, but it did look "cheap."

Yeah its the same
Poor manufacturing and quality checks in my opinion... Not all phonds do it but the og evo had the worst ive seen... all by the capacitive buttons...
On the g2x it was really bad in the corners
I made a youtube video comparing 2 g2x's sids by side (search nate93dsm)

I think this is a question many of us have after the SGSII overseas problem.
Well for those of you that have it, and those getting it soon, how's your screen? Notice any bluish/yellowish tint?
I plan on getting one tomorrow, but this is the one possible problem that im worried about.

I've had 2 AMOLED screens so far, Moment and NS4G... I think we need to be honest here. This is not a reference screen. The colors and saturation levels and black point are all tweaked to death...and that will look sugary sweet and awesome for nearly everything. It's a phone not a production studio monitor. But, white's not being perfectly white is something that shouldn't be unexpected...and I would be shocked if you'd ever notice it ever again (without some boring TFT to compared it directly next to....and the TFT would look washed out and purple/blueish/yellowish)......
I mean, failures happen...if your screen looks like complete **** do something about it, but, compared to your typical ****ty LCD or your above-average professional grade reference monitor it will no match up at all... it's sweetened up to look good...color bias will happen and should be expected in comparison to just about anything.
Don't except a turd but don't drive yourself crazy looking for perfection--it doesn't exist and it isn't the point either.
I'm no perfectionist. Just check out the screen issue thread over in the SGS2 forum. Hey had multiple issues like yellowish tint on one side but not the other, bluish tint, lines, etc. Just curious if this will be as bad here as it was there

JUST DID FULL BRIGHTNESS ON BROWSER. on main google page, the page is as white as it gets, no tint what so ever. I am very happy with the screen.
I kinda love this setting, open up browser, click setting and you can set browser brightness.
No tint issues, don't feel any difference between epic vs epic touch...

You can do it with friend caster photo editor.And I agree brother,it looks horrible.
FROM A GALAXY BETTER THAN YOURS.
That's what we like to call over-cooked HDR. You can pretty much do the same thing by adding one of those old school filters or a yellow tint filter and pushing up the contrast and saturation. It's pretty much used as a distraction for bad composition
Does anyone know its this is an Android or iPhone app for this framing effect?
Sorry didn't want to start a new thread.

I am curious if anyone here has ever had their screen suddenly have BLUE everywhere?I just picked it up and there is this crazy light blue tint that is almost on the entire screen.
It is def a hardware issue because it happens in recovery and on boot as well. I can literally watch the blue kind of "dance around" and flicker while I am typing this...
Is this something that TEP will cover? Is there any special things I should take in to consideration? This is awful!

Is the display off? It seems samsungs samoled screens have a blue tint to them.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda app-developers app
I guess I did not clarify adequately.
This is when the screen is on. It is just blue artifacting that covers the screen and moves around. It has a slight "ripple" effect as if a liquid is flowing... Blotches and some slight flashing as well. All of it is a very faint yet pronounced blue color that has me convinced that my display is ruined. This makes no sense as the phone was just charging undisturbed for awhile and it Def was not like this previously.
This is definitely not the slight blue tint that these are known for but rather, I think, a completely random/sudden busted display
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
In turning the brightness up I can now see that all my colors are ruined, not just light blue.
The closest thing I can describe this as is "16 bit " color mode on old school crt monitors.

So it was a hardware issue. The tech told me that he "replaced the screen" without any further details. Overall I was in and out within thirty minutes, no questions asked, no money exchanged. It looks great now! Pristine without the scratches I had previously (burning man dust / sand murders the glass, never bringing a phone there again) and no more 16-bit color mode!

The we don't have this or that threads are people just being nitpicky #FirstWorldPains?
It's an amazing device.... the screen is beautiful 5.55" of a NONPENTILE Super AMOLED, stellar battery life. The quad core exynos CPU and jelly bean makes the user experience super fluid. People are also saying that the phone is too big but personally that's why I like it so much - it makes my old iPhone4S look like a toy.
After 8 hours of ownership, screen size is my fav feature so far.

Pixel density is lower but gs3 is pentile I believe. This has some hybrid pixel arrangement. Though, I never saw a gs3.
Yes the arrangement is PenTile, so in theory it should look similar. But I was just wondering if it also appeared the same in person

Honestly I think I'm still in partial shock that I'm walking around with a Quad Core in my pocket. There's something ridiculous about that... also the display and once Sprint LTE kicks in in SF, I'm going to be lording it over my colleagues.

Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
Best feature this phone has is Android. Hands Down.
Slap a giant screen on an iPhone and it still is tied to iOS. Can't fix that one.
But on the serious side, the best feature to me, is the marriage of a Large screen and the extra sensitive S Pen. The large screen is great, but anyone can do a large screen. And an S Pen is great too, but it would be crap on a screen any smaller than 5" or so. Can you even imagine trying to use an S Pen on a screen the size of iPhone?
Everything else that Sammy did to make the S Pen and Screen marriage work well is important too, as without all the other pieces, this phone would leave something to complain about.
-Waitin on multiscreen, CP
Awesome screen, awesome battery, so much horsepower and gps that really works (coming from ET4G that never locked)...
This is the best phone I've owned.

No idea unfortunately... I think SF is going to be a slow deployment though. Doubt Sprint will risk burdening a popular city with a crappy upgrade.
I came from the Galaxy S3. Traded for the Optimus yesterday. So far I love it! I do tons of gaming and it feels so much smoother than my S3 did.

check out SwiftKey 3 if you're looking for a legitimately good keyboard, its prediction and auto correction features are ridiculously good.
as for the phone, I've got to say it's the best phone I've ever had, and I've had couple of android phones before this (came from the Epic 4G Touch) and also have had iPhone, and none of those are even close to the experience I've gotten on LGOG.

If you want a phone that runs hot, try the Evo3D. I swear, if my heat ever went out in my house, all I had to do was drill the processor in that for a few minutes. Accidently left mine under my pillow one time when it was charging. Got so hot, it burned my face when I tried to make a phone call. I stream Netflix alot, and it got uncomfortable to hold it. This phone runs like a liquid-cooled dream compared to that.
