Epic life after death - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I was forced to switch to TMo on a POS nokia but I'm still wanting to use my epic on wifi. Now the time and date are completely wrong since it can't talk to sprint NTP servers, so obviously authentication is screwed on some apps that require certificates.
What do I need to do now that my device is going to be a wifi only device?

Sorry about that one. Kinda lost my head over this. I think I found my answer in over use of airplane mode. I had been using it constantly because of crappy signal to begin with. Toggling back and forth after I reflashed ROM seems to have worked for now. Just hoping it doesn't happen again. Odd since before my service was shut off, I was rock solid for over a month on the initial flash.

Network problems

So about a week ago my phone just randomly loses 4G and I called at&t and they said I am most likely having a hardware issue. I only have G right now and my speeds are under 200kbps. Extremely slow! I have tried flashing different roms and nothing has worked to get it back to normal. When I I reboot my phone I can get 4G speeds for about 30 seconds and then it quits and goes to G. Has anyone else encountered these problems and/or have any solutions??
Please help. Thanks

Having the same issues. Stated a thread too. Att is shipping me a new phone, but yeah...something had to have happened.

[Q] Can I switch my Epic to PagePlus?

My Epics still do what I need, but I have terrible reception in my new place and need to switch providers. I might as well lower the monthly bill at the same time, so I think PPC would be a good target.
How realistic is this? I'm thinking about paying someone who knows what they're doing to make the switch. Are the cell frequencies compatible enough? Will I get working MMS? Will the voicemails suck? Can I still flash ROMs after the switch? Is there anything I should know?
Thanks for any advice.

Device management update? 3/27 11pm

Just got a notification as I was going to bed for a device update management. Went ahead and did it, but it didn't have to download anything. It just restarted and updated android.
Back story. Had another thread where I had issues with my phone, swapped it out with AT&T. The employee updated the phone earlier today while I was there and I did check a hour ago that it was indeed 4.1.2 already installed. Is this update maybe to fix the security holes? Anyone else get anything?
Edit: looks like it was the security hole fix since I have baseband ma4 now. My old note 2 never got this update

quick question.

long story short my note 2 was confiscated as the result of an arrest. the case is now concluded and I am permitted to go pick it up. I am curious to know if sheriff's departments/state attorney's offices are allowed to tamper with cell phones in an effort to tap them, track their location, and tell if they have been activated on the line previously used? do you guys think I should sell it and get another one, or reformat the OS and call it a day? thanks in advance.
Wipe and flash a new rom. Its likely any tap would be software (if any). So by wiping in twrp and flashing a new rom you are overwriting whatever was placed inside the os. It is very unlikely the could have tapped the bootloader.

I would go with the above. I'm not sure about the GPS and how it exactly ties into the phone in regards to tracking.
The question, rhetorical, are you doing something that would be something to where law enforcement would want to track your movements. Depending on the outcome of your case, the DA may still have to file for search warrants, which is takes time and money, both limited resources. If you got probation or parole, they may not have to, but there are still rights you are entitled to, so that may be a better question for legal adviser. If you're not doing anything to warrant the attention, I wouldn't worry about it. Just try to stay out of trouble for other reasons.
The only way to track the phone besides hardware and software would be from sprints side. Your account would be tracked. So it wouldnt matter which phone you went to. There is always someway to track someone. So change roms and live life

Request for assistance or questions go in the Q&A section not general you would have probably got a quicker response.
Your issue is most likely kernel related.
