Issues with this phone? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I want to buy a new phone. I have had my evo 4g since it came out. My friend has a s2 and I love it but what are the common issues with the sprint variant and are they worth looking over? I am currently running cm7 so not having sense won't be an issue

I came from an EVO as well and absolutely love the sgII E4GT (maybe not the 8 character abbreviation) but the phone rocks. It is just like every other brand of phone out there. The majority play nice and then you have the ones that want to be stroked and then you have the bad boys. And last but not least the occasional bone head behind the keyboard.
But my over all experience has been great. Your mileage may vary.......

Thanks so lemme ask you this, is it worth purchasing without a contract? I've seen a couple on Craig's list go for $300

300 doesn't sound bad.........not tell you to go out and do it. But for that price I would.

I hear a fix for most bugs is coming next month. At $300 i would do it. Thats how much sprint will take u for if u buy it new on contract.

[Q] Evo for sale question...

I looked but did not see a "for sale" section. Looking to sell my Evo and wasn't sure where to post. Any help in pointing to correct section would be greatly appreciated. It's revision 2 btw way...had phantom skinz protector as well as hard plastic case on from day one. Couldn't be in better shape.
Thanks guys/gals

There's a section called 'market'. Craigslist is probably easier though, more local
We're comin from a pure power source.
How much are you sellig it for ? I'm about to sell mine as well and I would like to know what would sound like a good price, I was thinking 300$ since I sold the iPhone 3GS for 200$ not too long ago but idk if is the right price
another vote for craigslist.org
swappa.com is not a bad place to start. Local is nice but not everyone will have luck with this. Maybe OP lives in the sticks in Tennessee. Doubt if Cletus and/or Linda Lou would wanna buy a smartphone Current prices on swappa are 285 and up to 400.

Sweet...appreciate the advice. Just listed on swappa.com. Went and tested the thunderbolt today for about 20 mins. Damn that thing is quick and smooth as butter. I love my evo and I have it running top notch, but there really wasn't a comparison.

Uhhhh....what?

Not sure if I should buy the Epic Touch.

I'm really on the fence when it comes to buying this. On the one hand it's seems like a really great phone with really great specs. I would be coming from the Samsung Epic.
On the other hand I'm really puzzled by how this phone is being released. Unlike the Evo,Epic and Nexus there is really a lukewarm reception as far as the retailers go. We're at launch day and places like Best buy, Radio shack are not really showing much interest.
The phone was released in Europe 10 months ago and seems like the US retailers are treating it as such. The low price $99 from Walmarts to the lackluster offerings from the retailers.
With the changes Sprint has made canceling Premier cutting the return time from 30 to 14 days and increasing the ETF. I wondering if they are just trying to get people to use their upgrade on what they consider a lesser/cheaper phone. So less people will use it on the Nexus Prime,Iphone 5.
I would really appreciate people opinions on this. I have my upgrade and cash in hand today. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
I'm right there with you. I've had my upgrade for a while and have just been waiting. I am honestly now waiting for the iPhone 5 specs to be released. Depending on how it looks I will buy it or the epic touch. I still prefer android but I like trying all os's. As far as the prime goes..I don't think sprint will get it in 2011

If Sprint doesn't get the Prime this year then I'm afraid I'll have to ditch my Nexus S and get the Epic Touch. I just hope it gets Cyanogen Mod
OMG! It is hard to make decision about this E4GT, I know it has the best camera and high resolution as far as I know. I am using Photon 4G, it is great phone as well with dual networks (world phone), it is convenient when you step out from USA, you just pop in pre-paid gsm card, then you can connect the world. Gee, the hardest decision that I need to make. Any thoughts?
I am truely upset about how Sprint went about releasing this phone. I was able to preorder the EVO 3D a month before it was available at Bestbuy. Now, Bestbuy doesn't even know what the Epic Touch is. And it's release day....

Sprint seems to have a much better relationship with HTC. They really go all out with regards to advertising and release hype.

I am kind of with you. I want the prime so I am waiting at least a few weeks I think to see.
Does anyone know if I will be able to get the phone at a discount price, since I'm not eligible yet till 3/23/2012. The phone plan is 3 Evo's and another cheap phone that does have an upgrade option. I want to get this phone, but I'm also interested in seeing the iphone 5
I just got it about 20 minutes ago and couldn't be happier. Coming from the evo 4g, the difference is night and day. You can natively ditch any bloatware. So much faster and lighter. I absolutely love this phone...and highly recommend it.
Btw, and im not sure how, but my gf and I both upgraded our phones on the same account and it only cost us $200 combined. We both sold back our evo's for $88 each. This was all done throu a sprint store...Brent, if you happen to read this THANKS BRO!!!
Finally, they confirmed that the nexus prime will be a verizon only phone. Not sure if that is true or not so you can take that for what you will.
Now bring on root

Verizon has exclusivity for the nexus prime but no one knows for how long. It's gonna have to be released on the other carriers but may not for some time.
Also, I just got back from my Sprint store where I played with the E4GT and it is simply mind blasting! The screen is so beautiful..my NS4G screen was dwarfed next to it...and of course the employees had downloaded all the benchmark apps. Quadrant was 3400 I am really having trouble fighting off the urges to get this phone...screw the iphone 5, lol
This phone is simply fantastic. So very glad I got it.
Sent from my Epic 4g Touch
I bit the bullet and got it!! haha well at least i have 2 weeks to decide to keep it. hopefully by then the iphone 5 will be announced and unless it is mind blowing, ill keep E4GT
I am in the same boat as the OP, I am upgrade eligible but don't want to jump in because of the next few phone announcements. I am also puzzled about how hush hush this release is, makes it seem like the phone is not important.
I was playing around with it in the Sprint store today and it is an absolutely beautiful phone. I have the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and I love that device, hopefully the phone has good battery life as well. The only thing I was not sure about was how large the phone is, may not be so comfy in your jeans.

The Opinion Of A Sprint Employee

I thought this was about "the announcement", lol.
I don't feel myself looking forward to the next phone on the horizon I'm actually satisfied with what I have for once.

I actually identify with this, after coming from a Moment to a Hero to an EVO4G quickly...had that for a year, happily, then to an E3D, to ANOTHER E3D, to an NS4G, to ANOTHER E3D, considered the photon but wasn't impressed, and finally to the ET4G I agree whole heartedly.
I anticipated just jumping to the Nexus Prime ASAP, but, I think I'll hang onto this device for a while....and this is before I've done any more than flash CWM in preparation.

I'm currently a Sprint employee and I work at an Indirect retailer/service & repair center. I'll be the first to admit that I have a serious phone addiction. I somehow end up getting all the new phones right when they launch and get to play with all the ones I don't get to carry personally. My family has a business plan with 17 lines so I'm always able to somehow squeeze and upgrade out, do a "Repair" swap to a comparable model, or employee purchase a phone.
My girlfriend has had an iPhone 4 since launch and even though I used to carry one for awhile I've grown to resent them. My first Android upon working here was a Samsung Epic which I loved at first (coming from an iPhone 3G) but as I loaded more apps on it I watched it become laggy and seen it develop quite an overheating problem. I was extremely close to going back with an iPhone then I found this site and began experimenting with rooting and custom roms and now I'm hooked.
So to flash forward since my Epic days (sorry I've been rambling) I've went from a Nexus S to a EVO 3D to a HTC Arrive (tried something new and yeah didn't work out) to a Motorola Photon and now finally a Galaxy S II. Needless to say every single phone I've had up until this one had issues I just couldn't cope with. My nexus got horrible signal wherever I was at and 3G was practically worthless. I was so hyped about the 3D and when it launched the first one I had was defective and my second would freeze and lag constantly. To top it all off about 30% of the ones we would sell were defective out of the box. It's hard to have love for a phone that you sell to someone only to see them come back the next day ready to rip your head off. After that I figured I'd try something new and went with an HTC Arrive. I'll spare you the details lets just say a week into it and I was done. So I decided to go with the Photon and for the most part I liked it other then the horrible UI (Customer Launchers saved me) and the silent call issue that plagued it.
I'd been reading about the GSII for awhile and once I heard it was coming to Sprint I had to make sure I could get it on Launch. Enough calls into Sprint got me my upgrade early and I took the bait and dove right in not knowing exactly what new "issues" I'd be getting myself into. It's been almost a week since I've had mine and I can say without a doubt that I've never ever owned a phone this amazing. Everything about it is superb from the screen, to the UI, and the sleek design. I haven't had NOT ONE single problem with this phone and to me that's saying something. Traditionally almost all of our Samsung devices have been crap. Plain and simple. This phone was bashed by all my coworkers before launch because of the bad name Samsung had made for themselves. Now they're just as amazed as I am. I don't feel myself looking forward to the next phone on the horizon I'm actually satisfied with what I have for once.
I know this post is nothing but rambling but honestly this phone is everything I've ever hoped for and more. Once the roms start pouring in I truly feel it will be a short while before this phone is dethroned as King. I guess I made this post just to see how everyone else was feeling about there phone and if anyone has had similar issues with past phones and now finds themselves satisfied.
This is my first post on here so don't flame me too hard =) Any thoughts/experiences would be appreciated especially from anyone else who shares my phone addiction lol

im an ex-employee so i totally feel you and your addiction. Its a serious issue, and an expensive one lol.
But yes your right. When I bought the 3d, my dude that still works there tried to talk me out of buying it. Because of the power and signal issues. Of course like a idiot I still did. Wanted to love that thing so bad.
Im going to also agree with you 1000%. This is my DREAM phone. Ive lost sleep over the s2. When i heard Sprint was getting it, I literally thought about nothing else than the Epic Touch, aside from women and money. This thing is awesome. ****t, the only thing I want is higher resolution, but even with that I love this phone. I cant imagine what the next one will be like, but for the FIRST time in my life, I AM TOTALLY SATISFIED WITH A PHONE!!!
Yes my addiction to crack started when I was..oh wait...your talking phones...Like you my friend I have had every phone you listed (except the Arrive...my god man what were you thinking!) and this is the best phone I have owned..hands down. No problems...yet. Great camera and fast. I love it!
I will agree. I was happy with the HTC Incredible based on what was available and told myself that no matter how bad I wanted a new phone no 'feature" would be worth the upgrade until dual-core chips hit. Yes I jumped on the LTE band wagon but quickly realized that was far from ready for daily use. Then they(dual-core) hit and man its been disappointing till the chip Samsung used( Exynos). That chip with the GPU totally blows anything else out of the water.
Maybe just stick to iphone if android gives you so much trouble? I'm pretty sure there are lots of users on this forum that use Epic1, Nexus S and Evo 3D with no problems.
+1 from me. Nice write up, thanks.

Every thing i was reading was great until this, you had to mention the iPhone and to top ot off, recommended sticking with it if Android gives you problems. Expecially if you're talking about the E4GT, man what were you thinking.

most definately i am very satisfied with this phone just stock. thats amazing to say cuz i was a flashoholic. from the og evo. i can root but no need to since im on vacation only needed it for work. and the resolution is a small minus but dont mind really the screen looks amazing everywhere. my real minus is kickstand. coming froma evo i miss the hell out of it
I thought sprint employee don't get the phone untill 2 or three week because customer are the one paying the most and they should be the first to have it?.......I am under an employee account ( SWAC ) and sprint wouldn't let me buy the phone at all. They keep saying it's one of the disadvantage of being under this plan, but is more advantage than have a regular plan. God DAMN! I can't wait till is available to buy ( BUT WHEN?).........It was kinda funny on launch day I went to sprint store and they told I can't buy it cause I'm under employee account......I was like WTF! than why ya let me buy the gift card to reserve for the Epic 4G Touch?...they was like, well....who ever sold you that card should of known better, we are really sorry......I was like can I have my refund?......they said, No, we can't refund but you can use to buy any sprint product........I was like, can I use it to buy the phone when is available for SWAC plan?........they said, ummmm maybe... I said...CRAP! bye!!!!
I dont have any desire to worry about any phone coming out after getting this phone. It does everything I need it to better than any other phone I have come across.

I miss the kickstand dearly, but funny thing is I never actually used it as a kickstand. I just fidgeted with it ALL THE TIME. Now I have nothing to fidget with so I swipe through my home panels near compulsively.
I went from a Razr to a crap cricket phone to helio ocean to palm pixi to hero to epic 4g to inspire 4g to evo and finally to eptouch

Sprint employees can't buy it yet. That's how it always is they have to wait a while before high end phones to become available to them. HOWEVER...one person per corporate store gets designated to be an advocate, and are responsible for making sure the staff is well informed on it and handling customer questions about it, and they get to keep the phone because of it. I was the advocate for the palm pre and OG Evo

He's not a Sprint employee. Indirect dealers are not Sprint employees, they work for a company that has a reseller agreement with Sprint.
He also said he has a family plan with 17 lines, so he got it on a non employee line, then moved it to his line. I know indirect employees get a discounted line, not sure how much it is though.

A Few Questions Before Major Purchase

I WANT TO SAY THIS NOW THE ONLY REASON I STAY WITH SPRINT IS UNLIMITED DATA
I am kind of up **** creek with my Evo right now, sprint has screwed me once
again, I have paid for insurance on EVERY device for the last 7-8 years(and NEVER used it) and they are telling me that I am 100% not eligble for a replacement and that they cant fix it....SO....I am without a phone for the next week.....next week when I have the cash I am going to either have to pay retail for a new handset or add a line to resolve this...I refuse to buy the same phone that I have had SOOOO many problems with(thats what I get for being a first adopter, also ended up paying retail), I am looking at the Galaxy S II Touch but was wondering if I could have some experiences from those of you switching from HTC Sense(and Cyanogen) to whatever samsung's calling their overlay these days, also how useable is the handset without rooting/rom/overclocking(realized the Evo was **** after a week), Call quality, and if it was fairly easy to get used to the larger screen(ie: talking, pocket...)?
Thanks guys! XDA has the best info and people, and despite taking it in the ass from sprint again Im kind of excited to get this phone if it seems to be the best choice!(please no flaming, but I am also looking at the $99 iPhone 4, I have an iPad 2 and love that,but first choice is the GS II)

I can tell you this phone will blow your mind! It's the best phone I have used to date! I have had every Sprint smart phone check my post for proof. Works flawlessly for the most part.
Some ppl have stated they have a cell signal loss periodically, don't know the cause yet but Sprint and samsung acknowledge it is a problem so a fix should be soon for those who are having it.
I don't have it, and I am rooted on stock.
We should have cm and miui soon as both have started developing for the phone. The samsung ui is actually pretty good not as good as sense but it's good.

Worth the wait?

So my phones been broken since August, and I have no backups. In other words, I haven't had a phone since mid-August. Anyway, I just got some money for my birthday and job. Should I wait until the Galaxy Nexus comes out for tmo in late November? If not, suggest getting any other phone?
EDIT:hmm alright. I need a phone.. Im trying not to spend the most amount of money because im going to buy the Nexus during christmas time, but can anyone steer me in the right direction in buying a used phone off craigslist? Preferably a decent one? Price Range $100-$275. I have T-mobile but any phone thats compatible whether its unlocked or not I'll be willing to get. I'm in jersey BTW, in case any of you want to give it a look.
if you read this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1316800
you'll know you're in for a very long wait
but it might be worth it, depending how fan are you of stock AOS
If you have enough money to buy one unlocked for the full price, then you should hopefully have it by this month end.
If you are looking for tmo subsidized, then there is a possibility that you might have wait longer.

yea, I read through a bunch of pages in that thread. If I have to wait a week or two, I'll be fine with that... And I'm just going to root it assuming it will be possible as other Nexus phones were easily rooted..
Just not so sure if its hitting tmobile.. I dont come on here as much as I used to, but if you find ANY news having to do with tmo and the galaxy nexus or the release date, mind Pming me? thanks

yea, I think ill just be buying it full price unfortunately.
Only you can decide for yourself which phone is best and what is "worth" the wait for you.
Just do the research and decide what's good for you.
I will personally wait till prices drop at Christmas. My captivate is going super strong after installing miui. I got money, lots of it... So gonna buy unlocked! No seriously, it's because I am going out of the country mid next year for a while... Some legal issues...

Aria is old and doesn't have AWS for 3G on T-mo. G2 is good. You could always get a MyTouch 4G (not slide) or an original Galaxy S very cheaply.
Whats it matter if you're only going to use it for 1-2 months then get rid of it anyways? Get something that works and is cheap.
I'm not sure about your area, but I could find Nexus S for around $200

Hmmmm..Is the nexus S worth it?
I can relate to you. I lost my phone (Nexus One) 2 months ago. Since then I have been using my 5 year old Samsung. It works great as a phone for calls and text msgs. That's it!!! I feel so disconnected from the world without my neXus 1. Considering GS was going to come out soon, I did not want to waste any money on an temp android phone.
If I were in your place without a phone I would get the cheapest one possible.

I've seen G2X's on ebay around 200 give or take, of course not in perfect condition. If you like tegra you should consider that phone over older ones.

not really if you plan on not using it at all after the GN comes out. If you want to hold onto it for fun it could be worth the $$ if you have it.
Does anyone know or think there will be a Black Friday sale? I read on The Verge that they will be pushing sales during this time period.

This is already being discussed in the other threads. That page shows the MARKETING push for after Black Friday, which is including the Galaxy Nexus.
That does not at all indicate when the phone will be sold. As you notice, the map shows the iPhone being marketed too, that doesn't mean the iPhone isn't on sale till then
