Just wondering: why? It increases inaccuracies as well as confusion among those not rock solid in the community like the rest of us. As well as being 100% incorrect in not abbreviating it correctly. I just don't understand how someone can't look five inches up their screen to see the correct order E4GT.
Nothing will cum between my epictouch ....ha ha some people do its not hard to know what they are talking about just wait until its the Samsung galaxy s3 epic touch 2 4g Lte.....

It is called the Samsung Galaxy S2 Sprint Epic 4G Touch, why do people abbreviate it Epic 4G touch?

I will accept this answer and give you one thanks, sir.
Wow. Reminds me of the 3vo vs Evo 3D stuff.
Well, the only reason I say anything is that it's fairly easy to mistake a SGS2 with a SGS2 E4GT for kernels and you could mess up your phone. So if it's common place to say ET4G where there is already something called the Epic Touch (without the 4G), there might be confusion. I'm just trying to help out and ask why people might be switching them around.
Touch G4 S Epic Galaxy Samsung.
It's the right thread....dun bother me, Ah know where I'm at..
-SGS2_Calkulin's v2.8 ROM
-Overstew ICS theme v2.2
-ssconceptz ICS Camera v1.0
-Rogue Desperado Kernel 1.3.
Why do people call Bavarian Motor Works - BMW?
Lets all agree to call this phone AWESOME!!!

I was raised to be polite so thank you for your kindness
Personally after getting my feet fully into android with this being my first android phone, i think its a good differentiation from other carriers' models of the SGSII. Its much easier to search for Epic Touch, E4GT, ET4G, etc than the other models. I can definitely see where confusion would come from downloading the wrong modem, kernal, etc but I bet it will be worse with the longer names as they try to top this device. Those long names can be truncated, especially when viewing them on the phone.

Oh, are you talking about BWM?
I just don't like calling it e4gt. I'd rather say et4g. Like saying black cat in English but cat black in Spanish. Negro el gato. Evo touch 4g, nexus s 4g. 4g is usually at the end. To me, saying it the way its "supposed" to be said, sounds awkward or clumsy. Whatever. I gave up correcting people on words, grammar and spelling a long time ago. Its a losing battle and you don't have to think too much to understand what they are saying.

So I've had the opportunity to browse a lot of other forums lately. They're really different and sometimes really the same. If you've ever watched that lame but great show Sliders, it can be something like that at times. I will update this list with characteristics in case you're looking for a fun place to look and contribute, since a lot of our knowledge is transferable.
Forums you should check out:
Droid 3: they're so damn close to rooting that thing. such a cool process to watch
Update: they have root
Droid Charge: Doppelganger world to ours, phone is at a similar stage of development even though it's relatively new
Fascinate: The VT of forums, lots of good vibes and they shame people into behaving
Galaxy Tab: Has two dev communities and both seem to be great. I plan to get one soon but I'm still learning. People seem friendly, though.
EVO: Decent community despite the sh*t we give them. It's like a city of forums and wandering into some of those threads makes ours look tame. Sometimes it's easier when everybody know your name.
Will update as I wander, think of me as Travelling Matt from Fraggle Rock.

I think he's referring to other XDA forums for those particular phones. I had some good reading on the V6 TurboCharger thread. A flame war between developers turned into a joint development breakthrough...entertaining stuff. I will check these out as well. You never know what you may find from doing some reading. TheRoot always finds the best themed apps for me.

You don't go to McDonald's for a Whopper. XDA makes money from ads, so they forbid referring people to other sites whether for info or downloads.
Ive been in the Nexus S forums lately because my gf finally let me root her phone (thank you so much for the video and links qbking) and I was literally in shock from how many choices there were.... I literally had no idea where to start even though I like to think of myself as an expert flasher/rooter.... I often forget that the Epic community isnt the only one on the Web lmao
Not that anyone cares but I think this is a great topic. Android is about sharing information, ideas and our work. We have to allow for other forums or even websites to exist. XDA is the only site that seems to struggle with this concept.
There are tons of other great websites out there and well as tons of other great forums right here at XDA. When I was actively developing on the Epic, I found very helpful information in many other forums. Some were other Galaxy S based forums but others were HTC or Motorola based sections.
I think this was a fantastic topic to get started and I completely agree with it. I just wanted to show some support and say hello.

Either report them or troll the hell out of them.
What's an epic touch? Is that some sort of super-special happy-finish?
Does anyone loose their signal? I always have to reboot my phone to get it back.
Does anyone get like the laggy screen while the phone is charging? It's like really slow....
I think I'm like going to buy like an iPhone instead!
Does anyone know if like the iPhone beats an Epic 4G touch?[

Got it through sprint as Galaxy SII. Well I google that and it does NOT look like my phone. My phone looks more like the "Epic 4G Touch". Then I thought that just MAYBE they are the same phone.
BUT
What makes things more confusing is that there are different forums here for each phone, and I am not sure if I should be looking at the Galaxy SII forums OR Epic 4g Touch!?
If you got it from Sprint and its a GS2 ... you're in the right forums
