Got A Epic Touch!

Switched from t-mobile goodbye Nexus S :'(, Hope it was a good buy this late in the game and I won't end up regretting it. Will be receiving it Monday or Tuesday.

Youll regret sprints data speeds (unless your in the lucky .000005% that get advertised 3g speeds)
But youll also be happy anout no throttling!

You wont this phone is a beast. Our ICS leaks are pretty stable and official is coming soon. Welcome here man!!

First post
Hi, first time poster, trying to earn my stripes as they say. I"ve had my E4GT for about month and have been patrolling these forums for last several weeks, following along with the daily ICS leaks and then Steady's repacks, etc..I specifically see JC's posts in very timely and helpful manor and I've appreciated his follow up comments and humor as well. Just a quick shout, I've noticed it a lot.
Anyway, I'd like to post here and there in the Dev section and says you have to have a certain amount of posts in the more "general" forums, so this is that first attempt. Hope to see more of you in the Devs sections.
Love this phone, I came from an OG droid that was awesome and worked over and flashed to all hell so this little upgrade is sweet sauce.

I change from T-Mobile to Sprint back at the beginning of September and honestly where I'm at I have very little problems. You won't regret the phone however as you can see in the dev section we do have ICS builds and from looks it's getting pretty close to an OTA push. The SGS2 alone is one beast of a phone "old" or not as some would call it this phone is great.

Not true for all I average 600k and I get 4g. There is not a better phone to get right now. And there is not a better plan to get if you actually use data.

I have to agree with everyone here. This phone is a beast. I have the black one and the white one..and I like them both. But I rock the white one for its beauty. I call it my "Snow Powder"..lol.
I was at a little get together earlier, happened to pull out my Snow Powder and all eyes turned at me. People was like "wtf is that..is that a phone...that is nice as hell" They were all stunned at the screen the lightness of it and everything. I felt like I was in a samsung commercial...lol

Welcome aboard! You're gonna love this phone especially with the kickass devs working their butts off to keep us in flashing paradise. lol

I actually came from the tmobile nexus as well ive had the phone since launch and i love it. Hope you enjoy it.

I made a Similar jump back in October my only regret is the data speeds. Sprints network sucks plain and simple from sucky data to dropped calls. but the phone it's self is a beast!!! You won't kick yourself over it... Hopefully your lucky like me and have 4G almost everywhere you go.

Welcome, I've had mine for a week now, actually I think I finished rooting and flashed my first rom about this time last Saturday, and I'm loving it. I have no problems with data and the speed that apps load compared to my EVO 4G are phenomenal.

I bought my one month ago. I purchase mine on craigslist for $325.00 and it is worth it so I did not waste my upgrade and I can still buy the latest phone when it comes out. In my opinion with the LTE phone coming out soon it was not worth an upgrade.

It's a great phone but pretty much unusable in my area unless I can connect to wifi.

Samsung Galaxy S3 May 22nd?

Just saw this posted on phandroid. After looking at the recent horrible renders....do you guys think its finally time for the real deal. Personally the glimpse provided is rather sexy.
What's your thoughts??

Woah, I hope that is the real deal! Looks sleek to me. I think my other line is upgrade eligible at the perfect time.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

That's very sleek. If it's real it'll be one more reason to give the SG3 a hard look when (if ever) it comes out.

Yea. It looks almost too sleek. Like a touch screen remote or something. Its a serious stretch from what we've seen. But with the advancements this phone is supposed to usher in.....its almost kinda fitting. My OG Epic line is up in October.
Hopefully that's enough time for it to get jerked around by sprint and have a decent rumor on a release date.....

Looks like its gonna be made with aluminum and ceramic maybe? Looks like it could be the real deal tho the invite date is right afaik, the only problem is the US variant won't make it here til sometime end of 3rd or 4th quarter since Sammy didn't let this one out of the cage til September I don't see them dropping another flagship device less than 12 months from the last especially since the epic 2 is coming this summer which is basically our phone with LTE instead of wimax, but most of the specs are very similar otherwise

Honestly I could see them dropping it sooner. While the Epic 2 is known about it's pretty much a refresh of the Epic that is already there and no it's not a Epic Touch it's the Epic with the keyboard so it's the update to that model nothing more and with better specs. I could see Sammy dropping this on everyone if what they said was true about wanting to release it world wide in 1 shot instead of how the GS2 was released where people pretty much had to wait almost a year to get their hands on it (outside of the GSM version)
Also that looks like the back of the phone as many have said in that posting. I tend to agree with it as well but seriously if that really is it....Shut up and take my money please now!!!!

True the hard keyboard is nice to have at times but I have to admit after using one for so long and pretty much jumping ship to a touch only phone I don't see myself being able to go back.

Would you have rather bricked your phone? I am certain the Note users bricking on official ICS builds would have preferred to wait if it wasn't ready.

I second Blazer. We should have ICS by now though, this is unacceptable. This phone came out in September, we've been waiting 8/9 months for ICS. It shouldnt take them THAT long! Just wow.....

Would you like to pocket the expense of a FREE upgrade to give them incentive to hurry? Or just wait for a complete final product that they not only send to each individual phone, but don't even think to charge you an extra fee for?

Are you smoking something? ICS didn't come out on a phone until late mid Nov, Mid December for the US. You have NOT been waiting even 8 months. 6 months at the latest and they probably haven't really been working on it for E4GT but for 5.
You complain that a company is wasting time and money to give you something for free? I am sure someone will step forward to say theyre was a bit of advertisement somewhere saying it would be 4.0 upgradable. Guess what we are getting it and some phones like the Xperia Play that they said would are not!

Everyone says this. Sure we want it done right. Its just taking to long. They are a corporation if they wanted it done now it would have been. Yes maybe If five guys were all working on it sure I wouldn't be impatient with them. We aren't talking about a five man team here but a huge corporation as stated. That being said I used to be on T-Mobile network an was told my phone would get an upgrade. Never came. They kept saying they were going to release but they didn't. That's one of the reasons I'm on sprint. Hopefully sprint doesn't pull that same ****. I doubt it will. I shouldnt give a corporation the benefit of the doubt.

When will you stop saying free? Its not. We need upgrades to our phones to keep compatible with newly released updates/programs. If we don't what's the point in owning a sprint phone? Should they not support their phones till the phone can't run ****? You guys take this to personal.

Not happy with sprint... the last straw...

I have been constantly having problems with sprint. I love the S2, but I never get reception, always losing signal. Slow to no data. (yes I called them to have the fix the problem but no help. Last week I was on hold for 6 hours, not exaggerating at all).
I called sprint again today, and they would not upgrade my phone. They said I bought it in Feb, and they would charge me $280 to break out of contract and $200 for the new note 2 phone. ($580, they are nutz...).
they wouldn't pass me onto retentions either. They hung up on me 4 times during my phone call. Stupid russion speaking dwarfs from yugoslavia or something...
So I canceled finally, and they didn't even do ANYTHING to try and keep me as a customer. I have been with them since 1999.
So... I will pay the break out fee of $280. But I feel it is a relief to get away from them. Sprint has gone down the toilet, and I am not going to be held hostage by them anymore.
So... Anyone have any suggestions on what to do now? Legal suggestions only please. I still have my S2, so if there was a way I can prepay activate it somewhere .....
OR what is the best bang for the buck wireless company now? I kind of wanted the new note 2 or I can wait for the nexus 4.
Thanks for letting me waste your time.....

I'd probably swallow any loss that you paid to Sprint and move onto T-Mobile if their coverage is nice in your area. $200 for a 2-year contract or buy outright from Google for $300-350, not bad. Just gotta wait since they're on back ordered.
Unfortunate that you experienced that type of customer service from Sprint. I've had nothing but great deals with them every time.

I was looking at Ting... I guess they have a beta program where you can bring your device from sprint. Pay as you go no contract. You get credited the following month for stuff you didn't use.
The epic touch 4g is one of the 5 devices currently supported by ting.

Does the Note 3 have a RGB display like the Note 2 or does it have the Pentile display like the S3 and S4?
If it has a RGB Display it will be hard to not get. I sadly can't get it because I'm putting all my extra money into helping my parents get by right now.
It's going to suck that I won't be able to get it. I'm already depressed and once it's released on T-Mobile I'll be even more sad. It's such tough times right now and I love phone. Having the Note 2 was great but after seeing what the Note 3 can do and all of its features, I'm just so sad. I know it sounds weird but having a good phone really.. Nvm.. Gratz for everyone that can get the Note 3.
I hope everyone is having a good night.

Yeah they're just toys pretty much. Not much of a necessity since the D710 kicks some serious booty still. I'm probably not even getting the note 3 on release date since I can hold out for a while with my D710. I love this phone so I can only imagine the power of the note 3. That faux leather battery cover is hideous though. I'm gong to replace that asap and stick in an extended battery lol.

Who usually does the sales for phones like the note?

Amazon is a big one. But that is usually around the time all the carriers come or with a buy one get one... I an thinking family plan style, since i have two phones that expire same time. But Amazon is notorious for the $0.01 sales from end November-x mas.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

The funny thing is I just insurance claimed for a new S2 (well refurbd), It does everything I need it too....except LTE. The saving grace is that my area never received wimax, nor does the city I'm moving too. So I don't "need" a new phone, until the city I move to gets it.
I really wanted the S4 active, but I just don't see moving to at&t just to get it. Now, there is a company that will "waterproof" your phone. I may use the spray on water repellent (rustoleum maybe?) on my spare S2 parts phone to see how well it works and then do my new s2. Theres a video on youtube of someone doing an EVO, but not doing a professional job and it was effectively waterproof.
I miss having a stylus based phone (coming from the Touch Pro 2 and ppc6800), but the note 3 is large, maybe too large for me, but man would it be nice to have such a large screen for games and media. Plus the true multitasking and windowed programs looks badass, that is the next step, specially someone liek me that used to carry a small laptop around.
My concern is having the thing in my pocket, in jeans when I sit down it would probably snap the thing in half. Also using it one handed while driving, maybe a smaller dialer and localized controls for google maps and such. When gmaps released the new update without zoom buttons...what a terrible experience.
I also don't want to waste an upgrade waiting 2 years for a good phone to come out. Now that phones are getting really expensive, you kinda have to time it better. I'd love to have as S4, but I'm glad I still have my upgrade right now, on the other hand a used S4 is still $450 on craigslist, so you can get your money out of it still. But a non-contract note 3 is probably like $800, and $300 for contract, I may just get one based on the savings.

Double tap and zoom with your thumb on the new Google Maps, easier than buttons

Mostly will be my new phone! Was gonna go for the LG G2 but this looks amazing !!

You will probably be able to pick it up under one of the prepaid programs out there once the hype settles down.

Yeah I rather wait after release since release models always have some bugs.
