Develop Bugs

Thinking of ditching my evo... Any bugs?

So my mom has an upgrade and really wants an Evo. She said shed be willing to trade if I bought the et4g on her upgrade so I could get a shiny new epic touch and she could have a miui'd evo. Heres my question to all you new et4g owners: what are the problems you've been experiencing so far? Either hardware or software I just want to know what I'll be jumping into after dropping 200 dollars...

Random app closures
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1265828

none so far...smooth as my bottom...

I say, go right ahead and do it and don't even look back! Not to many people have the opportunity. Just traded my evo 4g for it there isn't one phone out now that can beat this. The battery is super awesome especially if coming from an evo. The browser is awesome get full sites using about:useragent, it's lightweight and the size of the screen is awesome. I Just wish it was the 5.3" that is out in Europe.

Dude... Get it! You will not regret it. There is a poll around here and the last time I looked, there are just as many evo users as there is epic1 users that moved to this phone

Tits eh? Couldn't have said it better myself. I have this sudden urge to lick the phone, now look what you've done.

I haven't found any bugs yet.

Phone's running perfectly for me. Sprint and Samsung have delivered well thus far.

There are only 2 things that I have found not working as of now, 1 being the Social Hub isn't allowing us to log in, and the other is the weather widget which isn't automatically changing location.
This is by far the BEST phone out as of now! I've been from EVO 4G, to EVO 3D, and I personally am not missing either 1 now. Couldn't of said the same going from the 4G to the 3D, as it was noticeably faster, but I really was never awed! The SII has definitely awed me again! Sorta like when we all first got our 4G's...
If you can make the switch, don't hesitate, and make sure you kiss your mom for taking your EVO off you and getting the SII

do it, you wont regret it.
i dropped my evo for this and it is well worth it!

I'm leaving my evo4g its been very good to be, so I will not dam the bridge I have crossed, but sadly say he will be missed.

I think it would be a little foolhardy to upgrade right now. Let the early adopters be the beta testers. Also, we don't know what will happen with iP5, Nexus', and Ice Cream Sandwich around the corner. Sit back and wait another month or two.

And when those phone come out, wait another month or two for other phones to come out. That cycle never ends.

I mentioned two phone names and one operating system, none of the three of which have been since by outsiders. So how exactly are you coming to the conclusion that your phone is "easily ten times better than those phones"?

Your argument depends on there never being a good time to upgrade, that there is no such thing as a release cycle or big releases. If a new and improved phone came out every day or we knew nothing about future products and future release dates, your oft repeated but ill thought out argument would be true. In fact, the industry does work on cycles and there are big product releases so it only makes sense to purchase with those in mind.

You seem uniformed and blind to the difference between "big releases" and hype. The SGSII is a huge release and one of the most highly anticipated Android phones ever. Going back to your "beta tester" comment, the SGSII has been out for months and has earned near perfect ratings across the board. The ET4G is just a variant so please don't go down that road.

I think this devise is gonna be top notch for along time. I was worried that when Prime dropped I would regret getting E4GT but after having it for a couple days Im happy I got it. I love TW4 it works smooth and fast and if E4GT gets good support from the top delvs it will stay on or near the top for a long time. I always thought the Epic4G was way better hardware than the EVO and look how that turned out.
Get this phone and dont look back

This is why apple is suing cause they suck

Did u notice all the iFans in the comments going "ZOMG big phone screen to big" ? I have to say if you think a 4+ inch screen is too big either:
A) you have some kind of baby hands, or
B) you're so attached to that iPhone you've dumped hundreds or thousands of dollars on apps for you're a flat out liar
Now I'm going with option B, since I don't think there's that many freaks of nature walking around with mutant baby hands hanging off their limp wrists, they just can't suck up the fact they got scammed by apple into buying into a totalitarian regime of dumb smartphones that can't do much of sh!t but look like a colorful happy meal toy from McDonald's
Like my sister in law who kept telling me how great iPhones were til I pulled out my OG evo and I'm like yeah well I can watch Netflix, flash video on line and actually check my damn emails, what can you do? Oh yeah make calls, text and play on Facebook :thumbdown: FAIL!
Not to mention I can actually read my texts and emails with out having to try to cybersex my eyeball with the phone to read that microscopic thing apple calls a screen. Seriously 3.5"? My last flip phone was only half an inch smaller than that. One day people will wake up and realize that charlatan jobs and his iCorp took em all for a ride that was bumpier than Heavens Gate and the hale-bopp comet tail UFO to paradise :screwy:

Lol everytime I walk by that mental ward white apple store at the international plaza I wanna just go and take a sh!t in the window display and when caught say "it was so white and sanitary looking I thought it was just a bathroom with a giant window in it, I mean look at all the sh!t that's already laying around here" :what:
ETA: I have a real grudge against that damned store, they had the balls to tell me they wouldn't hire me because I didnt own any apple products, this was back just before the original iPhone launched when they were doing a massive hire for the projected storm of customers coming to buy that clown toy of a joke. And the sad thing was I actually knew more about electronics and technology than everyone in that damn store combined. It didn't help most of them were like 17 year old girls and one old pervy dude for. Manager and a couple emo high-school guys that looked like mclovin from superbad

Everything apple makes is tiny, I was screwing around with my boss' iPhone cuz everytime he'd disconnect his BT the ringer would quit working, and I felt like I needed tweezers to hold that damn thing(I'm 6'7" BTW) but damn those phones were designed with one market in mind, tweens and teens with yuppie parents that will buy sh!t just cuz its the "cool" thing to do. I always ask my boss how his vaginas doing since he got that iPhone. And if the sex change was a requirement at time of purchase or if it was optional

Locked down before 20?

It's funny that everyone I know who has an iPhone says my phone's screen is too big. Watch in one month when the iPhone 5 has a 4" screen, they're gonna think it's some sort of innovation and new technology to have bigger screens lol.

I saw that article but it's not gonna matter because people will go out and buy it. All my closest friends and their significant others have iphones... Enough for them to all tease me because I don't have one. And that ladies and gentlemen is what Apple is all about. It's sad and pathetic but true.

Older Mercedes models from that era were built like tanks. I have an '89 Mercedes E-Coupe and it is a fantastic automobile even with 200,000 miles on it and my E4GT bluetoothed to the new stereo. If you have the resources (read: money) for the extra upkeep that owning any old luxury car requires then I say drive what you like.

We all know how Apple threads turn out. In the gutter, just like Apple's software.

Not to ruin your weekend but they only have to read you the rights if they plan on questioning you. If they don't, or if they don't use your statements against you then they don't need to read your rights. Hey an attorney though, .0178 is over double the limit in most states and carries jail time.

And yeah I was typing it all on my phone that was just dropped into the toilet, i apologize for the punctuation and improper grammer lol
But anyways the worst part was probably her DUI, which I am looking up on the net to see what exactly constitutes as a DUI (Driving under the influence) the key word is driving, her door (the driver door) was still open and eveything, and we were smoking a cigarette, listening to the radio. I did read up on some controversy over the field sobriety test be admissible in court, plus you have to fail or do poorly on the fst for them to have probable cause to give you a breathilizer, which they made her take one, they didn't give her the option to refuse it, Or I woulda told her to refuse the breathalizer. So I def think I will get a lawyer cuz the few cases I read where the dui suspect got off and the charges were dropped, were very similar to what happened that night :/
thanks for all the info tho guys I appreciate it

One, they don't GIVE you an option to refuse the breathalyzer. You have to verbally refuse to submit on your own volition (same goes for allowing the cops to search your car. You have the right to refuse the search, but they don't TELL you such).
Two, I've already told you... It doesn't matter that the car door was open or that she wasn't "driving" the car. As long as the key is in the ignition (even if the car isn't started), you can and will be charged with a DUI.
Back in college, a fellow fraternity brother of mine was charged with a DUI. He'd gotten drunk at a bar and had gone to his car to sleep off the alcohol. It was very cold outside (early December), he turned on his car for heat and got in the backseat to sleep. The cops found him and charged him with DUI because of this.
It doesn't matter that he wasn't "driving" at the time. Operating or potentially operating (having the key in the ignition) of the vehicle are both under the umbrella of driving. Arguing semantics or technicalities won't help in your girlfriend's case, unfortunately.
There should be a mandatory spelling/grammar test to pass in order to have an XDA account.

I thought that only occurred in the circumstance that the subject failed the field sobriety test beforehand.
There should be a mandatory spelling/grammar test to pass in order to have an XDA account.

Cops discretion, they say you have to fail two of three fields tests but the cop is the judge on the side of the road.

Something seems off about that. Who's to say that cops won't pull over random people and issue DUI's to people who refuse the breathalyzer? Even if they hadn't been drinking at all?

Let's not be stupid this holiday season. DONT DRINK AND DRIVE.

There is a lot of companies that will give you a free ride if you have been drinking. And some will tow your car for free. So there is no reason to get a DUI or possibly lose your life or take someone else's. Its bound to happen to a lot of people over the next week just make sure it isn't you or a loved one. Merry Christmas and a very happy new year to everyone!

Ah men brother...ah men..

My dad just finished his year of dealing with the consequences of his second DUI and it was a year from hell for him and my mother.
So beyond being worried about accidents, remember that even if you think you are or even if you are good to drive, a DUI is no joke.

My family's pretty smart not to.. At least I think.. Might be stubborn.. Uncle drank himself into a coma or got himself put into one, guess a blood alcohol level off the charts will do that to you. another uncle was emotional depressed drinking and another off the charts amount in his system, decided to be a dumb ass and ride his crotch rocket on the freeway at night when he couldn't even stand correctly, a few week coma there and lived after massive brain swelling and just so much blah. Think my family gets the picture not to be stupid with alcohol XD but everyone don't be irresponsible and put your family in such a situation...
A grown man or woman shouldn't have to be watched over like a child from the fear they will do something dumb.
Happy holidays XD

Just a single year from hell? ****, I wish... my 2nd one was 3 years of hell, and I'm still not done. (this coming month I'm finally off Probation/Supervision and everything, and I can get a speeding ticket without having to worry about the consequences of this **** coming back to haunt me.)
I couldn't drive for nearly 2.5 years, overall the 2 DUI's have cost me at the very least $35,000, that includes lawyer costs, court visits, missing work, classes, treatment, blah blah blah... Trust me this **** isn't worth it. The loss of your license alone is just awful. Try living by yourself, out in the middle of a corn field and somehow getting to work every day without being able to drive for 2 years. My friends hated me for that. Haha.
One thing that I'll offer as a helpful tip to those who undoubtedly end up in a situation where you need to get home, and your car is the only way... Sign up for AAA if it's available in your State/area. It's only $90 a year or something, and they give a certain amount of tows a year within I think like 100 miles of your location to wherever you want... Just tell them it broke down and to tow it to your house. The guy towing it won't care, he gets paid the same.
Trust me, it's cheaper than a normal Tow and fractions of a penny compared to what it could cost you if things go bad, and priceless compared to the lives you save, including your own.
Think before you Drink, because when you Drink, you don't Think.

Yes its definitely not worth it.. I have 2 from when I was in the Army.. over 2000 dollars in fees.. 5 years probation.. 30 days in jail. Must have a breathalyzer to start my car for the next 5 years to keep my license. Thats 80 dollars a month.. expensive sr-22 insurance. 2 years of alcohol treatment classes and AA meetings. Random piss test where they test for alcohol.. the list goes on.. and trust me I had it pretty easy.. I didnt have to pay for the classes because I took it at the VA hospital.. but the class is about 4 to 5 grand..
I definitely learned my lesson.. I dont even drive anymore. . My girl drives me everywhere. . I might drive once or twice a month when she cant take me for some reason..
Dont drink and drive its not worth it at all..

This is a very interesting thread
I decided long ago to be alcohol free, it's been ten years now...
I stay home for New Years because its just safer that way

If you gotta drink and drive, move to Sun City Center, FL and buy a damn golf cart. You can't do too much damage with one of those and in Sun City Center golf carts are the norm for driving. Hell theres no way a drunk could be anymore dangerous than the 90year old demented folks in a golf cart. Where I live a little south of Sun City Center we have cabs that if you blow over a .08 on their breathalyzer will take you home and in the morning pick you up and take you back to your car for free.

I converted 3 people.

Is it really that good? I keep hearing good things about it. But then I heard lots of good things about SGSII. Then I found out about the fluttering phantom key presses, the cheap- plastic back cover, the poor support by developers. For a "super phone" I'm really pretty jaded with this phone. What's the real 411 on the Note 2?

Cheap plastic cover still there, but if you have a case, you can't tell. Dev support is awesome for the device, the dev teams are actually very prompt in helping and replying. People use my note 2 and fall in love with it. The screen size is great for watching videos and editing word documents. It feels good in the hands contrary to what people may think. Web surfing and researching stuff online is easier with no need to zoom in. Everyone who owns one or used one has different opinions on y they like it, but they all love em

Hey I converted a few iphone enthusiasts to get the note 2. They love it.
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda premium

I converted myself. For longest time I thought that Note 2 is a piece of garbage. Too big, made by Samsung, etc. Then I played around with it in store and yea, it was great.
So far, 2 iPhone users may be converting as well.

I've converted one. When I saw my 18 month old son could hold it in one hand, I tried again to convert my wife from her N4 again, but she wouldn't yield. -_-

Like you, I've had the E4GT. This phone is beyond it lol, by miles.
No phantom key presses on the N2, but as mentioned earlier..the plastic cover is still there. I'm running MIUI on my N2 right now and it truly kills anything you throw at it. Just a great overall solid phone.

I converted 4 people and they love it btw 2 were iphone lovers

I converted 2 of my partners. 1 got his on Tuesday. The other one is waiting for his tax check and he'll be getting 2 for him and his ol lady. They both had Droid Razrs. My third partner is an Apple fan. He didn't want to look at it. Maybe afraid that it might convert him. Lol

So far I've converted 6 people, 2 from blackberry, 3 from iPhone and 1 from whatever Nokia was using back in the day. I also helped a couple people make their choice when they went to a smartphone for the first time.
I found older folks really like the note 2 for the screen size and the keyboard size.

Converted 2ppl and 1 is waiting to upgrade to this phone so I guess I can say 3.

Haha this thread is awesome. Love it. Just out of curiosity how are you guys convincing iPhone users? I'm having a hard time with my friends. They're so closed minded and don't want anything that's not iPhone even after I show them the features of my note 2.

I put there iphone on top of my phone, show em how much bigger it is. They responded, "bigger isnt always better", i respond, "ask your girl what she thinks about that". Then they complain about how android doesnt have apps, then i show em every damn app they have, and how good the devs made em to fit our screens. Then they say how it cant be perfected because every android phone is different from one another and how apple phones are optimized cause theyre all the same. I tell em another historical figure wanted everything the same type....... His name was hitler... Look what happened to him. They give typical uneducated responses and eventually become quiet. Then i say "this is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill, your story ends, you wake up in ur own bed and believe whatever you wanna believe. You take the red pill, and you stay in wonderland, and ill whow you how deep the rabbit hole goes."

I've converted 4 people.
1. My girlfriend, who saw it the first day I had mine then instantly ordered hers online
2. My cousins coworker. He was #teamiphone to the fullest. He started by saying the iphone is the best phone ever invented. Fast forward a week later he pulls out a note 2 with Verizon lol.
3. My other cousin. He had a Samsung infuse 3g. Said the note 2 was too big. One day after a trip to the mall I got something to eat. When I met back up with him an hour later he had the note 2
4. My girlfriends step-mother. She too said it was too big and that she didn't like it. Lo and behold she ended up with a note 2 about 2 weeks later. I asked her why and she said she could see better on a large screen.
What I get from a lot of this is that even though people say they don't want it, deep down they are jealous inside lol

I got that same response from some of my hardcore iphone co-workers. Their iphone was like the savior of the masses... that is, until I showed them how i can have text and browse while watching videos at the same time. That's when I see their jaws drop to the ground.
The other thing that gets ooohs and aaahs is when they stop by my cube and question my nfc tag that I have by the entrance - and I tell them that with a swipe of my phone I can set up all my preferences without fiddling with the settings.

Pic of what it feels like holding those itty bitty phones. I also got a co worker who gave me the it looks your "holding a phone book to your face"..two weeks later she has a note 2. Lol.
Ps I dont see too many note 2 in the wild which I kind of like. ..makes it more a "unique club" but we'll see how long that lasts. Do any of you peps see alot of note 2's around?
