If you are an Epic Touch user that is experiencing the LOS (Loss of Signal) issue please click on the link below and report in that thread with Sprint.
http://community.sprint.com/baw/message/339779
If you do end up posting on the Sprint site please do post in this thread as well...
Also it was just pointed out that there also is a Samsung support Twitter @ www.twitter.com/samsungsupport
(Please also contact there if you experience LOS)
If you would like to follow this up with a call to tech support, it will help. Try and get transferred to advanced tech support.
This needs to happen from as many people experiencing this as possible!
Don't be lazy!
Thx!

I don't think those other threads were specifically aimed at getting people to do this
I have been told by a reliable source that sprint is aware there is an issue and their engineers are working diligently to find a fix.

I hope your reliable source wasn't a Sprint CSR.
Those of us coming from the Moment were constantly being told that by Sprint regarding the radio lock up issue. They never did fix it. It wasn't until the devs at SDX got 2.2 onto the phone that the issue went away.
I have also found that tweeting complaints to www.twitter.com/samsungsupport during business hours will get a quick response, which results in escalation of real issues.

Nice find! Thx!
i just got off the phone with sprint and they told me that samsung pushed an update on friday to fix a delay in receiving text messages which has borked the internal antenna. that would explain why i only started having problems yesterday.... sprint will give you a ticket number and they will fix your phone for free at a store.
call up and get it fixed.
its only going to get worse!

This is false. The issue has been going long since before Friday.
It will be fixed in the first update though.
... and here I was thinking about exchanging my 3D for a GS2... it seems the signal problems are widespread to all phones. :/

Its not a showstopper and it doesnt happen on all devices. So if it happens when you get it use your 30 swap to get a new replacement. It hasnt happened on mine at all. Also there is going to be a fix... So, with all of that said I cannot think of a single thing that should cause anyone to decide not to get this and choose another phone. Thx

It is a 14-day swap unless you bought your device pre-launch.
This is a total show stopper, I have 2 of these and they both do it constantly. I cant even surf for more then 10 minutes without it happening to both units. I cant make calls, I cant receive calls, cant go online, cant use streaming music, cant use navigation. total waste at this point. I love the phone physically and its great when on WiFi but that's only 1/4 of the day. I am not taking a chance of getting stuck with a phone that I cant even make calls on. maybe I will try again once everything gets fixed but for now its not worth the trouble.

You have something seriously wrong with yours then. I've had mine since launch and it's done it twice. You should exchange yours.
I rooted my phone and got this for the first time the next day. Hasn't happened before that. Didn't even know what you guys were seeing until it happened. I just got a zero with a line across the middle of it in my top bar and my signal bar and data icon were gone.
Is that what people are getting also that have not rooted their phone? When I say not rooted, not the people who rooted then installed the stock kernal back on. People who never rooted in the first place. That is what I would like to know.
Mine did it once before rooting, once after.
And yes, it happened just like you described. I thought rooting and flashing Zedo v3 fixed it, but it didn't.

Cool, I hope it is device problem and not just a rooting problem. This way we can get a fix for it from Samsung, hopefully.
I have it on good authority it will be fixed in the first software update from Sprint. No idea when that will be though. It's not a rooting problem.
Hi everyone,
I made a stupid error last night and I flashed the wrong rom to my phone :S I flashed a AT&T ROM, now my phone won't turn ON at all tried all combination to go into download mode nothing happen. When I plug it to my computer it required a driver that I couldn't find. to make it worse I called T-mobile hoping that they will help me but they couldn't because I don't have a prove of purchase :S since I bought it from someone else.
Any idea what can I do ?
Yep, it's dead for good unless someone has figured out how to make/use a USB jig for the TMO SGS2... that's why we read before flashing roms.... it's never really a good idea to flash a rom from a different device anyway.
What a retarded mistake, seriously?
You go to flash a ROM but fail to even recognize that they are two totally different phones?
If you are that clueless you should not even be flashing ANYTHING

I doubt it'll come back to life without a USB jig. You can try calling T-Mobile for a replacement again and just tell them you need a warranty replacement...the person you were speaking to probably doesn't know that proof of purchase is not required. I've never had to show proof of purchase and always gotten my phones from somewhere other than tmobile, but I think that would be considered fraud in your case since its not really a mistake on the manufacturers part....
Does it boot up? if it doesn't boot at all you're golden. Just call in for a warranty replacement.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Yes, even if you do not have a proof of purchase, you can call Samsung directly and get it replaced.
Please remember this guy came here for help not to be criticized. I also know that when something like this happens, it's no fun and he's probably feeling bad enough as it is, so why add salt to injury?
Thank you for all your good replies, say what ever I'm retard or anything you want. I made a mistake ( because I didn't pay attention ). This is not the first time I flash a phone ( I flashed my previous Nexus one and flashed my HD7 ) and I previously flashed my Galaxy S II with BeastMod, I don't know how I missed it this time.
Thank you for the time that you wasted to tell me how retarded I am.
I ordered a USB jig last night and I'm waiting for it if it didn't work I'll send it to Samsung.
While I was searching to try to help Tunisiano, I came across another thread about a "bricked phone"...LOL
Apologies for laughing, but this guy in the other thread said his gf bricked his phone when she flashed the wrong rom from another device. He said he left his phone in the house for a while when he went out and she tried to flash a rom for him cause she does not like the TW launcher...LOL

I did it, not ashamed, it happens and I'm by no means new to the root and ROM game. Odin'd recovery and forgot to untick repartition. Same thing you got...Qualcomm high speed USB interface...this phone is way more sensitive in download mode than the vibrants are. So I brought mine back once for that then two more times for the screen.

My first two word in my post was " Stupid mistake" because I know that it's preventable...
There's no one among us who hasn't made some type of mistake at some point in life so lay off the guy.
Sue you might not make THIS particular mistake but that's aside from the point.
For him to meekly ask people for advice while openly admitting an error that he could've lied about or blamed on a made up entity and receive this brand of childish, elitist, holier than thou, insulting nonsense is an embarrassment to the rest of us.

Have you tried resetting your data profile with ##72786# need msl. If that doesnt work it is probably something on the backend call tech support get them to refresh your sms and data from their end. :banghead:

@GalaxyDev
Your problems are very likely caused by "making it work" on different carriers. There must be some settings that are just not correct. As for the radio on the Epic 4g Touch, I agree it is weak. But since the EL29 update and beyond, the radio performance has improved GREATLY and it works as it should now. The Motorola Photon has the BEST radio of any Sprint phone I've ever used. Side by side comparisons proved that to me. The Phonton is a cdma/gsm global device so it's something you might want to consider.

Did you ever think it might not be the phone and maybe the fact that your using it in a different country than it was designed for and on a different carrier than intended? No of course not, in fact, everyone on this forum and the millions of other who bought this phone have the exact same issues as you but we just put up with because the phones so great...
After talking with some sprint tech's for a while about issues not only in my area but with the phone in general I found out that they can very very easily find out if you are rooted with a click of a button. I noticed that every single rom that I have ever used always says the name of the rom in the build number area of phone info menu. That is an easy way for sprint to see that you are rooted. Any way to change that or can't rom devs just not edit that part with the name of their rom? I know what rom I'm using, why does it need to be there?
Rom developers do that so they can ID the rom for a reason; and if you're dumb enough to bring it in rooted and the check to see your system, of course they are going to know, a five year old could tell the difference. Either put on a stock rooted rom, change the build prop, or unroot period.

It's usually a good idea to
1. S-On the phone
2. Flash an unrooted stock rom
3. switch SD cards
4. Uninstall or do not install any apps requiring root permissions
5. Lock your market (with an app protector)
before taking it into any Sprint Store for service.

Must be contagious around here. If I was having problems with the phone in general I would first dump the rom and go back to stock to see if it was a issue with the rom or the phone. Common sense.
It was a phone call to sprint about network issues. About towers that were not working correctly and the tech I talked to at the Kansas center over all network issues could see **ALL** history of the phones ROM. Didn't matter what rom I curently had on the phone. It gets logged into the system. PERIOD. He told me it was rooted and told me the name of the rom installed and what day it was installed. I was kind of blown away.
I didn't walk into a store and say here's my rooted phone, fix it. Never heard of anyone unrooting a phone to call in about network issues. EVER! All I'm asking is is there a simple way to change the info that the Sprint system would see when it gathers the info about the phone to avoid detection of being rooted and a non stock rom installed. That's all. I understand you have life issues and feel angry at the world and need to make an ass out of yourself but if you can not just answer simply then just don't answer.

Thats the most insane thing ive ever heard. IM almost 100% sure that sprint can't read your ROM details. In fact in order for them to even trouble shoot over the air,they would need your permission to link to your phone using the main network. So dude im kinda sure that your back pedalling a little here after some responses. For future reference try wording your ?'s so they represent your intentions or future actions. Dont get all boohoo on us when you receive a little criticism. The way you are posting gives the impression that you blindly walked into a sprint store without unrooting. Next time just tell us what needs to be done ask for some help and someone will def hook you up right. :beer:

It may sound insane to you but that doesn't change the fact that its true. I know what the guy said on the phone. He said exactly what rom I had installed. You're kind of sure? So you have no idea what you're talking about you so you assume something? Lol The way that you are posting indicates you just want to start something with someone for no reason. Stop trolling and move on to the next thread.
They don't need any permission to link to your phone. They own the rights to access your phone by way of the contract you have with them. They have every right to check the connection between the towers and the phone. By doing that info gets logged to the system about the device connected.
I talked to tech's in the Kansas center that deals with network issues. These are not standard lvl 1 tech's. This guy called me back days later and dealt with me about the towers in my area that were under performing. I gave him my signal strength at multiple locations and he would (on his end) zoom into on each location and look at what was going on at each tower. Explaining to me that the tower at my work was 1.2 miles away and at that distance I should have full signal and even rolled out a van to not only check the strength in the parking lot of my office but various spots in that towers coverage. Determining that the tower had very low strength and needed to be addressed. Also figuring out that my phone was having signal issues near my home which was in range of 5 towers. I'm not back pedaling at all. I know what I'm talking about and i have no reason to ask a question with false pretense to get an answer that would not be pertaining to my actual issue. But since you like to assume everything just assume I didn't respond to your thread and troll some where else.
Wow trolling huh I simply stated what was present. In no way was I even been harsh. In fact I was referencing the way you worded your post that was causing the reactions you recieved. Like I said you had to have given them permission to link to your phone.....So that being said your gonna have a very hard time on xda when you bash people for heading you in the right direction. Good luck with being like that...

Yes, most will. Unless you get some ahole (which has never happened to me). I've had hardware pieces replaced countless times in the last 18mo., and have NEVER unrooted. I do think the key, though is it's always been for hardware issues (primarily screens and cameras).
Hell, last time I took it in, I had ICS on it. Techs thought it was pretty cool.

why dont you quit being an ass and take the advice given to you... and yes you do appear to be the idiot here. everyone is just giving you the reason, if you want the real reason, ask a developer why. If you are that worried about it maybe you shouldnt be rooting. We try to be helpful here and look at what happens. If you dont like it here JUST LEAVE and take your idiotic comments/questions somewhere else. I am sure you will fit in on some of the other forums much better. And I always wondered why people flamed and bashed SHESH! I now know why. You try to help someone out with suggestions and answers and they get an attitude... to all those people i say F**K OFF!

Did you read the thread at all? You're the idiot. Only one person answered the question, Shortydoggg. Everyone else assumed I took it into a store and didn't answer anything. As stated above, you do not need to remove root. Don't be a troll. You need to get out into the real world and leave your moms basement bud.

Wow trolling huh I simply stated what was present. In no way was I even been harsh. In fact I was referencing the way you worded your post that was causing the reactions you recieved. Like I said you had to have given them permission to link to your phone.....So that being said your gonna have a very hard time on xda when you bash people for heading you in the right direction. Good luck with being like that...

I'm not sure I gave permission. I was speaking to the guy on the phone and he was looking into different things and asked if i had updated to the most recent OTA update. Then proceeded to tell me it looked like I was rooted and had a modded rom. That was it, he didn't ask permission to access my phone.
You said I was back pedaling and that i was boohooing. Umm ya trolling! Being harsh whatever you want to call it. I didnt come after you, you came after me.

The point i was trying to make is, what does it matter what it says? if you dont like htey way devs make their roms, maybe you should make your own. Gotta love your maturity level here. You will not get the type of assistance you require here with this type of bashing and attitude.
Nope it needs to be unrooted and s off. I kinda agree with the other guy here mate. Your
post does suggest what he says it does. And flaming people for pointing things out like is f'd up. You need to-be able to handle constructive criticism to be on xda. Peeps here have heard it all,and don't take kindly to noobs acting in such a manner trust me on this one. Restrict yourself to just simply stating what and why, and you'll always be right. Cheers mate.

Yeah my girl works for Verizon cs and she said there is no way that she can bring up someone's phone and tell if they are rooted or not.

Wow. I am astonished by the level of ungratefulness going around
thread closed before anyone gets hurt.
Usually I can hit the power button to bring the screen back but sometimes it won't happen, like just now I hit the call button then realized I didn't want to talk, so I hit the power button and nothing happens and I can hear the phone ringing and i'm left I
With the only option to huff the phone at the wall in frustration(come on, you know a cell phone has given you that impulse before) and then the person answers and I gotta tell them in my rage, "look I really didn't want to talk to you but my phone decided otherwise, so sorry bye". Someone please help before I destroy my phone then bomb T-Mobile HQ or Samsung, whoever is responsible. Thanks in advance

are you rooted are you using a costume rom? you need to give a bit more info here, if you want help. Next post try saying Im rooted using XXX rom, have flashed before and all was well and have cmw installed or any variation above that might apply, at this point I think you are stock which I would seek warrenty.
Oh sorry, maybe I should put that info in my sig or something. I've got bombardier, not sure which version but it's old since I never kept up on updates. So maybe I should be posting this in that sub forum? I wasn't sure if it was a ROM issue. Mind you this issue isn't consistent, and sometimes it seems to just take too long, like this case after the person picked up the phone, before bring the screen back, and that the system is lagging maybe(?). I don't know but it happens enough.

That rom isn't being developed anymore, it's been long forgotten and the dev got a new device. Have you ever wiped cache/dalvik cache? fix permissions?
Not regularly. Perhaps I'll give that a shot and if no luck maybe it's time to find a new ROM. Thanks

Try megamix?
If you are looking for a new rom, I would recommend you looking a megamix, it's has the ICS port too.
Oh cool, thanks. Didn't know ICS was ported already
. Awesone
