Hi, I live in NZ and I'm thinking which one between Epic 4g and Nexus S I'm gonna buy.
But I'm wondering if any NZ carrier is able to use Epic 4g cos they do not support 4g. By the way, I just watched one video about Epic 4g on Youtube and i saw it didn't have SIM Slot in the Epic 4g!
Can anybody tell me about it pls?
Epic is a CDMA phone, thus no SIM
I was searching the forums but couldn't fine the answer. Does the epic 4g touch support 1x advance?
Thanks
I really doubt that it does being that the 1x phone will not be out till mid 2012
Hi a friend of mine wants to trade his Epic 4g Touch for my Evo Shift. I'm pretty sure it's worth the trade but before I do I wanna know what's possible on it first.
What all carrier(s) can the Epic be flashed to?
What's the best performing/fastest carrier available?
And is the flashing process easy?
Thanks in advance

First he's either trading off a bad device or doesn't understand his E4GT is superior in all ways to the Evo Shift.
Get the ESN and call Sprint to make sure it's clean.
Make sure he hasn't damaged it in any way, internal or external.
There are several Galaxy SII's so check the model number. Ours is SPH-D710 which I think can only be supported by Sprint, although it seems like there's a post somewhere about flashing it to Boost and US Cellular. (Found the links)

Keep in mind phones that run on Sprint can not run on AT&T or Verizon networks. (I stand correct, thanks booksyx) apparently it can be flashed to Verizon.
Flashing on this phone is super easy so long as you read and follow all instructions and when in doubt, ask questions. There are several incredible ROMs currently for this phone of both Gingerbread and Ice Cream Sandwich flavors. Read in the development section to see for yourself.
The post above me has many incorrect statements.
The epic 4g touch can run on almost any CDMA network. I currently have mine running on Virgin Mobile. It can also be flashed to boost mobile, cricket, metro pcs, verizon, etc.
They key to getting it working on those networks is to have a donor phone where you can extract all the NAM keys, esn/meid, and data keys and flash them to the epic 4g touch. Really isnt to hard once you have all the keys to write them.
My epic 4g touch has everything working on virgin mobile. Calling/SMS/MMS/3g/Wimax. However you will have to go elsewhere for a wimax solution. Best part is I only pay $25 a month for all this!
The ESN is clean and it's also relatively new. Not 100% sure what the exact model is but i'll find out when he gets off work.
The whole reason he's making the trade is because EVO is his favorite phone. He was going to trade me his iPhone 4 for my EVO but then I found out that even if I flash the iPhone 4 that Data and MMS dont function fully. So I didnt want that.
But If the Epic is that much more superior that makes me want it more now, as long as I can get it fully functional on a prepaid service that is.
I wasn't aware there was so many different versions. Because he didnt tell me it was an Epic, all he said was Galaxy S II. So I ended up posting in the wrong forum. But his is Sprint though so everyone said it's an Epic 4g Touch.
That's good that it's relatively easy to flash. I personally prefer boost, but whatever is fully functional and runs the fastest
*Edit
Does every carrier require a donor phone to Flash to?

Many incorrect? lol I see one (oh make that two, didn't know that about Verizon) and that's why I said thinks like *I think* as in I'm not 100% sure, just going on what I've recently read here on XDA.
Thanks for clarifying that though.
Hi i was looking around and I found out that they are some people who was able to flashed their epic 4g touch to verizon prepaid ,but I cant find the guide or the tutorial for how to do it. Can someone help me and tell me what I need to do to flash my phone to verizon prepaid ,Thank you ,I hope someone help me with this.
You need a donor phone from Verizon.

Ok and what a do with the donor phone?
Research what a donor phone is, and that will bring you all the information you need to know.
Sent from my Blu Kuban powered Epic (4g lol) Touch
or just pay 50 buck to a buddy of mine he will do it all you need is a usb a phone a working computer
If you have metroPCS service in your town, you can also flash it to metro- text, talk, mms, web, gps all for $40 a month. I also think you can for cricket as well. Both are pre-paid carriers- no need for a donor phone.
Thank you for the help,but I will glad if you send me a tutorial in how to flash it to Verizon,due to there is not metro PC or cricket in my area just Verizon prepaid.
Epic 4G Touch
Hi I flashed my Epic 4G touch to Verizon prepaid but It keeps saying roaming whats up with that everything Is working perfect but it says roaming witch probably is not a good thing??
With Sprint dropping over 60,000 customers from WiMax in November who have phones using it such as the Epic 4G touch, Is it possible to do a custom ROM that will allow the Epic 4G Touch to work on the newer Spark network/4G LTE, or do I use my Epic for a paperweight.
The Epic will continue to work on 3G but Id rather buy a new phone than go backwards with speed.
Anyone have a solution? :crying:
thanks

No. LTE/Sprint Spark requires new hardware. As you stated it will still work on 2G and 3G.
And this is not the Epic 4G Touch sub-forum. This is the Epic 4G sub-forum.
I'm leaning toward a 2015 Moto G CDMA, Moto X Pure Edition, or 2015 Nexus 5. I'll just keep my Epic 4G as a backup probably.
Some news:
Sprint is planning on providing replacement phones to long standing customers at no fee sometime in September that will work on the 4g LTE network. If they keep their word, then nothing lost and maybe a lot to gain with a better phone even if it will most likely be refurbished.
So where do you think they will come up with over 50,000 phones for the customers that had WiMax only devices?
Could be worse.....they could offer us a rotary dial phone.
At least wimax will become spark in that area where it was
?
