This the OG Epic forum. The one with the keyboard.

My dad has the E4GT, and he ended up getting a refurb because of the buttons.

I Phone 3.5
I left Verizon and iPhone for this marvelous phone. Also there was a big progress from iPhone 3 to 4, compared to that, 4S seems like regressed version , so I would call it I phone 3.5 and when the I Phone 5 comes I am not getting that either, I made a mistake of going from Android to iPhone...never again.
Why would anyone switch from this to an iPhone?...

No way. Never had an iphone and probably never will. Trying to talk my wife out if it though.

Nope, this phone is perfect for me, I have no desire for anything different... esp the iPhone.
IPhone isn't even a remote possibility based on the size of the screen alone. Itunes is another dealbreaker. Having to jailbreak it just to do half the things I can do on Android without rooting pushes the iPhone option into the furthest reaches of the galaxy.
I'd rather be run over by two chimpanzees in a hot rod than touch an iPhone again.

Nope. My Olivia Wilde wallpaper will probably look like trash on an iPhone.
Plus, I just found out that auto brightness is stupid and wastes a lot of battery...And I also found out that 50% brightness is all you need to be able to see the screen outside.
Nope..
I just don't like the way Apple doing business. No i-anything in my household.
Android already has app drawer... No need for an iphone.
I would if it wasn't so locked down
Hate them but their stuff lasts
Samsung Galaxy S Dos indeed
ET4G > iPhone I doubt anyone is stupid enough to get an iPhone over the ET4G

Try factory reset first
I ahve had this problem also, but it has only happend while charging. It acts like the back button is pushed continously. I only noticed this once I switched to a six foot USB cable.

In developer options click show screen touches. See if your digitizer is going bad, happened to one of my note1's.
Id return it in a heartbeat but before that if you want to have fun go to phone and enter

And play around with the sensors.

Touch sensitive button sounds

Greetings.
Is there a way to add sounds to the four touch sensitive buttons? The vibrator died and feels weird without any sensation.

A. This is the original incredible forums.
B. I don't think there is a way to add it unless you edit systemui or framework. Even then I'm not sure how.

Got fed up. Opened up the phone, cut the jumper wires and plugged in a new vibrator. All is good now.

Weird little issue

Lately across many different roms ive been getting this highlighted icon and dont understand why..sometimes it could highlight different things on screen
What does it mean ?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
It looks like a phantom touch. If you are not touching the phone and it does this its likely your lcd is defective. If you are on jellybean there is a setting to see lcd touches. Its in developer options.

Have you tried removing the battery and then turning it back on? Have you tried to get into either download mode or recovery mode?

My bad,
Could the phone had been dropped?
A neighbour of mine had an epic that he dropped on an occasion, and had the same issue, his phone had a larg scuff on the back cover, led light would flash, when called phone would ring but you couldn't answer.
After some dismantling and removing screen, and not seeing any physical damage it was reassembled upon start up screen came back to life, phone worked fine until it got upgraded to an S3.
