Phone Games vs Phone Life - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Everytime I end up settling into a mobile game I end up playing it for at least an hour or two and I was just wondering; Would such use would be damaging to the overall life of my phone?

The only thing I can think of is wear and tear on the hardware buttons if you use them.

Can somebody help me reading these speed tests?

My brother is getting really low data speeds. He's in Illinois, he ran a speed test and wants help figuring it out,wondering how bad it is? if anybody could help id appreciate it. Thanks

That is a number of different test results, but the bottom line is for 4G you should be hitting maybe around 20mbps depending on area and that is showing only kbps. Something definitely seems wrong. I hit over 20 in my area with no problem.

Thanks a lot.. He's not being throttled or anything, and tmobile said there's no problem with the towers In his area, you think it could be a problem with the phone? This has been going on over a week now..

Yeah seems weird. Is it possible anything could be interfering with the signal? Maybe try flashing a different radio if you're rooted.

Also you'll want to try switching the setting to read in mbps to see where you're at that way as well. I don't know what is consistent for your area so it may be that is all you'll get. I've gotten consistent readings between 17-21 mbps in my area.

I had him change the settings I attached a screen shot.. He's not rooted, and he's always had good speed in his area (Chicago) this just started about a week ago. I'm thinking it could be a problem with the phone as he's still sees a 4g signal? I'm gonna have him send it in for a replacement and see what happens.

17-21 mbps is really high. I live in socal and average around 12-16

Ping is what is important. I stress it to everyone when looking for radio lol for latency. The lower the better. basically it's the amount of time it takes for data to travel to your target and for it to come back. It's a response time. You know how when you browse or go on fb sometimes it gets stuck for a few secs not doing anything... It's most likely do to high latency.
Another ex, when you lag during shooting games. They have high ping

Too big for my tastes, and I have relatively large hands. I feel like the s3 is pretty near the perfect size, big enough to be useful without being stupid-big.

The only reason I want this phone more then anything else is truly multitasking with two apps running at the same time I know is limited but is the best so far, I'm waiting to see if nexus 4 is better with 4.2 next week, and btw the longest I had a phone for is 8 months , I like phones too much :/

Yea got to agree keeping a phone for more than a year is like only having 1 girlfriend at a time...ewwwwww

It must be that ypu guys switching phones like crazy must not be married. Lol. My wife got pretty pissed after a year having more than 6 phones. Defijitely keeping the gs3 until its paid off or after. Seems like a solid phone. Plus a phone is a phone is a phone.

Well yeah I can buy a phone when I want but it doesnt mean I should. On top of mortgage and other payments, cant always justify a kuxury like a new phone every six months at 600$+ a pop. Plus my wife is getting the note 2 to replace her mt4g that shes actually used since it launched.

Yes very tempted on getting this phone as I feel the note 2 is a great phone. But not something I see myself using for morw than a year. But I do have my concerns with there past dealings with supposed stealing united states citizens information that was stored or access from there phone. So really it looks nice but with a reputation of stealing information and spying on americans im cool. Wait till somethings else comes out.

Not really, I like the screen but it's the same resolution as the Note 2 with a similar processor and none of the features that make the Note stand out.
I'll wait for the Note 3, but I'll only get that if it has the Octocore Exynos or Tegra 4 processors

Nice how this thread has degraded.
Unless your some spy or government official then there's nothing important about you for someone in China to spy on, hell there's nothing important for someone in America to spy on.
I recommend not buying in to political bs when looking at technology, cause if they had it their way they'd be the one spying on you....actually....they probably are right now.....BUM BUM BUM!!!
noted for future reference on my Note 2
I am a Chinese and probably cannot comprehend English as well as most of you guys. But none of the articles quoted above proved in the court of law that Huawei or ZTE stole anything.

All the stores around me open at 10am. I'll probably get there 10-15 minutes before. Never had a problem getting an Android phone on Day 1... I think the only time I've even seen people line up was when the Galaxy Nexus came out, about 4 other people waiting for Best Buy to open, lol.
Note 3 hasn't really been advertised much yet, most likely just be us xda geeks buying the phone on Day 1.
My store opens at 10 am, I cancelled my pre-order yesterday and I'm hopping in the shower now and heading down there.
