Taking my phone to Sprint with an Odin count of 5 - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I'm having issues with my phone and sprint wants me to bring it in. I have an Odin count of 5. Will they see that and if so do I just play dumb? Maybe tell them I took it to a different store and they looked at it too?

Here are the issue's I'm having. Maybe they are common...
1. I dont receive text while the phone is "hibernating". (not sure what to call it. It's when the screen goes blank)
2. LOS
3. Phone doesnt seem to want to switch towers. I'll be on 1x when I'm in a 3g area. I have to shut my phone down, then once it reboots it recognizes I'm in a 3g network....

Samsung ChatOn Released on Android Market today.

It's like the Samsung version of iMessage, I've not used it or anything due to lack of knowing people who do but does anyone plan to?
However the servers are already bogged down so trying to get an access code is likely to take forever. -__-

So it's been 9 hours and no verification code lol. Reminds me of anything source related and Samsung.
Yeah same here, nothing.
Alright, I tried again today and got my verification code, who wants to test it out with me lol?

[Q] sprint app store

is there an apk for it?
i would check the sprint forum for epic 4g touch
i was actually surprised to see this question in this forum
my first mental though was like "wtf?" lol
What's the difference of the sprint app store?

I was thinking the same thing, WTF?!?! LOL!
Pardon me if I'm wrong, but the market is the market...there isn't different markets for each carrier. If you're looking for a particular app that's available for Sprint only...you'd have better luck looking for that app's apk. I don't think there's a way to make a T-Mobile phone show the Sprint market.
oops i ment samsung app store.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
I'm not sure if that's one of those apps we're not supposed to ask for. Either way I've tried on the vibrant, gs4g, and II and at least for the US, it just always comes up blank with no apps.

Samsung app store isn't available in us I think?

Yeah. Just sticks on a screen that says no updates. Can't do anything else.

It said no firmware because there is no OTA firmware update at the time. Nothing to worry about. Let's see what's on your phone. Can you screenshot a pic of your build number, like this.

Thanks for the response.here are my screen shots I still can't connect to the network. The Sim worked in my other phone right away this one won't connect tho.

Hmm out of service, I'll double check if your IMEI has not been blacklisted. Hopefully guy didn't sell you a stolen or lost phone. If you are willing to flash a custom ROM, could help to.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I haven't rooted yet if I do and flash a custom ROM would that work. The phone has been working for the past 4 days with no problems till today.

I'm bone stock and have noticed the same thing the last few days. I don't make a ton of calls and I really only call my wife, so I don't know when it started, but I was blaming her iPhone.
Maybe its just Sprint.
Let's do something.
1. Download Stock ROM
2. Download Triangle Away
3. Run Triangle Away and reset counter.
4. Flash stock ROM.
5. Go to the store and yell as hard as you can "I WANT A NEW PHONE, THIS POS IS NOT WORKING".
6. Check for warranty.(Optional)

[Q] repeat maybe...phantom keys?

I'm getting phantom keys that freeze my phones menu, home, ect. when my phone switches from 4G to 3G because of 4G signal loss. My battery isn't bloated. And I've tried going back to regular stock even but they don't go away. What could be the cause? Could it still be the battery? or is something wrong with my phone? Any help would be appreciated

The phantom menu key press is a known issue that will allow you to get your device exchanged or repaired regardless of having TEP or being in warranty or not. Bring it into a Sprint repair location and they will either replace the LCD/TSP assembly (if they have the part) or arrange for a replacement device.

Not true. They will charge at least $50 for the service. Its the deductible.

Should I go back to complete unrooted stock before I go to a sprint store to have them checked it? It would be nice to have the screen replaced or get a new phone lol

Sorry, but I work at a Sprint ASC repair center. They created an issue ID that allows for free repair or replacement of the device. Unless you are a Sprint ASC tech and use eTicket, then you obviously aren't aware of the recent addition of this policy repair/exchange.
Well, like you said, it is a recent change.
