a real look at the Epic II 4g touch - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I searched could not find any similar posts
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEijRctiodk

im a little but hurt that nobody looked at this , plus when you goto this link there are several others alongside it. im excited , even though it doesnt have a keyboard i think i might be able to live with out it.

Ok I looked 10 times because I want one so bad, but still won't get one, thanks

I looked, very cool thanks

Looked at it, but still can't decide to wait for it or go with the Motorola Photon. I have the Epic now. Samsung has left a bad taste in my mouth with upgrades, even though when I did get the Froyo upgrade, I never had problems, but I am tired of waiting. Also have the XOOM WiFi and like the dual-core processor, so now I want my phone to be dual-core.

I just hope I can get that phone, but maybe have to wait a while since I just bought my Epic 4G few weeks ago..

Not a groupie and not a fanboy of either. I have sen da photon and liked it. Not seen da epic touch. Why u call da photon inferior? Not mad @ samsung, but every 1 I suggested a samsng product not happy now. Want to try different phone before I really decide in November. Thinking to buy a photon off ebay and resell if I don't like it and can compare to ET 4G before committing. Not hating, but need a company that doesn't have tough time getting updates out. I understand and appreciate da care/caution but seems like my epic was put up as "The Phone" but then treated like a stepchild shortly after da EVO got Froyo.

Yeah, it was touted as da "premier" (anchor) fone, then quietly taken out of da limelight w/ da Froyo issues - which I had none. It should've been in da limelight and da priority fone cause it is da better fone. Wat's da issue wit da processor in da photon? Since look's like ima hafta give up my keybrd, the photon works wit my fat fingers, lol. Yes, da ET 4G looks cooler. But I can't get it till November, so y not try da photon now nd get da ET 4g den?

You got 30 days to exchange it. If the 16th is out of the thirty day range you can go to Sprint and get a different phone in the meantime and it will reset your 30 day timeframe. I think.

Thanks for the video, phone looks cool and fast. Unfortunately with how Samsung has managed their support for the Epic 4G (or lack of I should say) I am not (and probably many others) interested in anything from Samsung ever again.
Plus with the iPhone 5 all but confirmed for Sprint, I'm sure many are curious as to what kind of hardware it will be packing. I'd be shocked if it doesn't blow the SGS2 out of the water. Historically speaking when Apple releases a new phone it is the fastest out there for at least 6 months.

How could it, when it is expected to lack:
Access to 4G/LTE, a Replaceable battery and a SD Card slot
No matter how fast it is, without these 3 items, it cant even be considered top tier, IMO

What good is 4G/LTE if it kills your battery and coverage sucks unless you have Verizon and even then it is still a long ways off from great coverage.
A replaceable battery sounds nice if you have a phone that needs a constant change of one because it dies that quickly (like my Epic 4G does). Considering the iPhone can go a full day without needing a charge, it doesn't matter.
SD card slot... For what exactly? the iPhone has a ton of built in memory that is much faster than an sd card is. My phone is constantly *****ing about lack of space because many apps will not allow you to install to the sd card. Video recording fails often because of the sd card.
None of those items really matter with an iPhone.

Get the ET4G. Similar enough to GSII that it can run its roms w/ a few cdma files switched. We can't do that w/ the GSI b/c it's not similar enough

Every video I want makes me want it more. It just smashes in testing. If I get it, I will be happy just with root and I know it will get a lot more than that. From what I have read and seen the speed is unbelievable and people are getting 5 and a half hours screen on time pretty regularly. Custom ROMs and kernels will only improve things but 3000+ Quadrants running stock...damn! I watched a video of SGS2 vs Evo 3D and it beat it in every test that was run. Now, if the Prime drops within the next few months, it may be worth waiting but I can update my Epic line in March. I am waiting for Whosdaman's review before I commit 100%.

Well Its Official Our Phone is a piece of crap now that Evo 3d Duel Core is out...

Well now that the Evo 3d duel core phone is out today our phone is no longer the top dog... Now it is a piece of crap.... and sprint wont give me an upgrade until november! how dare they! So now i must be stuck trading between epics and evo 4g's every week! We need a support group... we can tell ourselves that our phone is great but lets face it no duel core and no duel cams either and no internal 4gb of internal ram,,,,, i need phoneagra from the makers of viagra.,...
It may not be the top current phone, but it is not a piece of crap. These kind of whining has got to stop among the mass public in the world. Everyone always complaining about their phones going "out of style" when new phones hit the market. Everyone always want to rush-buy the new phones, but always fail to realize that those phones will also be "out of style" when more phones hit the market. EVO 3D will be all the rave, but 6 months later...(next year?)..maybe sooner... EVO 3D will be considered "piece of crap" along with past phones. My gawd, the Epic is still a great phone. Stay with it for a few years, for sure I will. If you're rich, fine, keep getting new phones, who cares.
Epic are not a piece of crap. Period.
Thank you thunder for telling him off

Are you gonna be able to do anything with the evo 3d that you don't do with the epic? NOOO. So why spend more money if you will only be able to do the same things you are now. My definition of a pos is having a samsung instinct when this epic was first released and some would prolly say hey that was still a nice phone and it was but the amount of new features that I got with this epic was astronomical. That sir is when you get new phones. Besides their will be no apps and te development will be really slow on that for a long time. So me ill wait a couple of years till everyone has the dualcores figured out really well.

Now if you're referring to Sprint only offerings. That's not much to brag about. LMAO
In the rest of the phone world, epic lost it's crown soon after Tegra 2 phones were released.
Don't believe me? on the technical side, go look at the benchmarks. On the real world side, goto Radio Shack/Best Buy and play with those phones side by side to the your Epic.

i am just talking about the sprint devices. I also know that by the end of the year that quad core phones will be out... now sure if sprint will have quad core phones or not...
Really... this OP smells of e-peenor contest and is pretty moot.
Answer me this, does your Epic get you laid by the simple fact of you showing it to the tween girls and them melting all over you cuz you have an Epic phone?
If not, then your balls haven't dropped yet.
according to http://phandroid.com/2011/06/24/rumor-sprint-bringing-epic-4g-2-4g-galaxy-s-ii-in-q3/ the epic 4g 2 will be another piece of crap as it will be single core. As we know a flag ship phone must have the highest number of cores to date for the cell phone company.
souped up version of the original Epic. Inside will be a single-core 1.2Ghz processor and we’ll likely see Gingerbread. We’ll be on the lookout for a keyboard, of course, and the camera is said to be 8 megapixels instead of 5. But don’t expect too much more than that.

[Q] I'm getting that feeling again.

This is NOT a Thread that I'm selling my Epic in, I need help deciding whether to keep my Epic or not. I want to change my Epic for an Evo 4G/BlackBerry. I like it and all, but the Epic just doesn't have enough development. I'd have to either get the Evo and Flash my phone EVERYday like I used to with my G1, or get a BlackBerry Bold 9650 and not Flash it at all. the Evo is a nice phone, it has all features working on CM7 which is a big plus for me, it's always up-to-date with MIUI, and was the phone I was going to get first, but it was sold out and I was impatient and I obviously regret it. Or, I could get a BlackBerry. Their much more simple and would meet my standards, but I'm afraid of Android-Withdrawal, but I could take it to OS6 and that looks cool.
So, what does everyone here think. Should I keep the Epic, let the price go down with more use, and wait to see what happens? Should I trade it in and get some cash and buy an Evo in order to fill my flashing addictions? Or should I sell it and buy a BlackBerry Tour2 9650 so that I can't Flash anymore, but have a pretty good phone? And the final option, should I just keep my Epic 4G, and live with it, and hope for the best?
Drop the epic and get an EVO lots of Rome to flash . Unless u Want to wait till September for the gingerbread update . Then the flashing begins for epic.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Keep the epic...CM7 will be out when official gingerbread in released!
I don't know man. September is a few months away, and that IF we get GingerBread then. And even though, we'll have CM7 ROMs from 3 different developers, a few AOSP from a few different developers, and maybe 2 MIUI ROMs. I wonder if we'll ever have Sense or a Port of maybe the Droid3? Or LG Optimus 2X? I don't think we have enough people.
Someone is already working on a sense port, the same dev that's working on miui. And we have a cm7 alpha 4. We need gingerbread source code to help move us along.

I came from a BB bold 9700. I did some beta testing for OS 6 on it. It was very nice but that is all the tinkering you could do with it was put a leak version of the OS or beta test. So I would say you have already commented on "flash withdrawal" so BB will be nice for about a month then you will be bored with it. One of the reasons I got the Epic was because of the keyboard coming from a BB and the screen size. My other options were the Intercept (which my son has) or the Shift but again the screen sold me on the Epic. I didn't even look to root or custom ROMS for at least 2 months after I bought it. But once you start it is hard to go back.
Hi my name is John and I am a flashaholic...LOL
Look up the ORD Thread in the Off-Topic. That's us. That Thread was my idea btw.
And I guess I'll stay. I guessssss...
Sounds like you've already made up your mind and are just looking for someone to talk you out of it... I carry a crackberry and my epic. The crackberry is free and I can do what I want with it, but I still keep an android that costs me ~40 bux a month and has horrific cell coverage most of the time just because it's an Android and the berry sucks for anything other than email.
I don't know much about the Evo other than it's large development base, crappy screen and lack of keyboard. If flashing a new ROM everyday is your goal, then get the Evo and live with the lackluster video performance and on screen keyboards.
If the only reason you're ditching the Epic is due to lack of development, then develop something...
I forgot to mention that the Epic's keyboard sucks and I barley use it. If at all. And I can't develop. My friends will think differently of me. Lol jk, I'm too lazy and I don't have the time. All these devs are high ballers. I wouldn't compare. They wouldn't take me as seriously.
keep the EPIC !!!!! it's a better phone !!!!!! ( just sayin' )

I mean sure EvO has more roms but how many do you really need. My sister has an EVO and I read thru the EVO section and concluded only 4-5 roms are actually worth trying Synergy-Kingdom, MIkG, MIUI, CM7 or Gingerdeck and thats about it...The last three we will hopefully get once GB is released.

Hi John!
There totally should be an AFA (Android flashers Anon) cause I'd be in it.
I've only had the Epic for a couple months, but I wouldn't trade it for any of the other phones available for Sprint right now. It's fast, great hardware, and has a full keyboard. I use a handful of other devices for work, and my Epic is the best by far. (my Galaxy Tab is a close 2nd) It feels weird not having some new rom/customization come out every couple weeks or days on the Epic, but I've adapted to a slower dev cycle that I was used to. And honestly, the only thing keeping me from running one of the GB leaks is the lack of a custom kernel to fix the hw keyboard lag. So until there's something that feels and works as good or better than my Epic, I'll be hanging on to it for dear life..
No offense but hopefully sucks.....especially if u upgrade yearly.....the good thing I learned my lesson and not going through that again.
But again that's just me.

[q] who made the switch to iphone?

i just had to do it lol .. not bad at all imo
You switched? I said I wasn't thinking about it..but now I am.
My phone pissed me all the way off today. Unplug from 10am at 99%...at 2pm I'm at 25%. 25!!!!!! And from 10am to 2pm, I was in my class for an hour and didn't even touch my phone. That's basically 4 ****in hours. 4! I'm still pissed. I've been pissed all day. Let me know how that phone is.
Edit: And you'll probably get flamed for this. People might come in and be like "THE EFF THIS GOTTA DO WITH THE E4GT!!" and this will probably get closed...if it does, pm me. I really want to know about the iPhone
Don't give two ****s about the iPhone. Enjoy being a sheep. And imo, you're trolling.
im loving this phone so far i got the 32 gig i have had all the top sprint phone 3d , photon, and the epic touch ......only thing i miss from my epic is the screen size ... so far speed very fast. better cam better screen i will update on batter life later
Not me. But, I know my daughter wants one. I will do it once the prices drop on Ebay for a clean ESN one off contract. I myself will NEVER own APPLE. It amazes me how people hated M$ years ago and now Apple is doing the same and it's ok. But to each his own. Hope it treats you well. My sister loved hers.
i am a fan of tech, not companies. If an apple product fit my needs from a phone standpoint, i would make the switch no questions. Right now, ET4G is what i am digging, but if you get what you need with an iphone great!

That is the way I also think.....I would switch if the 4s came out with a 4.0-4.5 screen, had a 4g radio would be even better if it had SuperAmoled. Right now it would be a downgrade for me on what I want out of a phone.
if it had 4.3" screen and wimax, I would have bought one
but for now, especially since its off contract, and id need at least 32gb.....who has $749 for a phone lol
Ill wait for the iphone 5 LTE version I guess
What a mistake
Just got my iphone 4s in the mail today and i regret it already after 5 hours,this os is so lame and boring theres nothing to it got to spoiled on android with customizing everything,not much different from when i had the very first iphone.forgot about no flash too wtf was i thinking listening to all these paid off reviewers that always give it over rated reviews and the pics are good but not as good i dont care what anyone says.pics i have take with my epic 4g touch are cleaner,brighter,sharper and better even when compared on my desktop,even with the random minor issues my 4g touch had it is still better by far.every issue could but fix with updates that should be around the corner.iphone 4s is a mistake and waste of money unless u like no flash or sd slot or just dont like doing cool things to the appearance of your phone,very plan os.selling on ebay tonight already reconnected my epic 4g touch,now i will never leave android.
you have been warned!!!!!!!!!!!!
I did the opposite 4 weeks ago, went from iphone on att to epic 4g touch. Happy that I did for many of the same reasons listed above, also the screen size, camera quality, etc..

Galaxy Nexus LTE on sprint

idk if u guys already saw this but they have the device advertised on sprints web site now along with another lte phone. Galaxy Nexus coming with 16 GB internal storage only? Seems a bit suckish to me since i have lots of apps vids etc. i think im sticking with my E4GT. in my op its the best phone right now.
http://www.sprint.com/landings/lte/index.html?INTCID=AB:UEU:HERO:010912:GalaxyNexusPrelaunch:960x320
oops just found out we had another thread about this haha. o well lets change the question. what do u guys think is better? E4GT or Galaxy Nexus?
I think the specs for e4gt is better, but I wouldn't mind getting the nexus cost its Google dev phone
Seeing as some of my pet peeves about the NS4G (which i still have as a backup) still made it into the GNexus (low speaker/ringtone/all around volume, 16GB Sprint version [why not 32GB ] etc), i'm not that enthused.
ICS on the NS4G hasn't been all that jazz as well, really not impressed, but it's on much weaker hardware so i can understand.
My Epic Touch on Blazer ROM is flyyying like an eagle and it's great with more than a day of battery life with regular use. Found a deal on a 32GB microSD card the other day for $30...

we can either have Nexus phone and ICS and no 4g or we can have E4TG and 4g and no ICS. By the time E4TG will have ICS, nexus guys will be porting JB...:-
)..unless the new phones ( all at CES) and update speeds (aka asus and htc) makes samsung feel that they might lose number one position...
Edit: I think I will pass Nexus and wait and see is asus padphone comes to sprint. My Tranformer is getting ICS tomorrow..I know they will be updating phones as fast too...
I'm gonna buy a Nexus from Sprint at retail and keep my E4GT hooked up for a bit. That way I still have 4G and can tinker (root/ROM) the Nexus... and when LTE is in Wash DC I can switch to the Nexus. Either way it will be nice to have both devices
I'm getting the galaxy nexus and giving my phone to my lady.I had a evo4g evo 3d nd now epic touch all had 4g but not available I'm my area Phoenix.

No GN for me its a waist of upgrade
GS3 lte with hefty specs will be released a couple months after GN.

GS3 may be later than everyone's thinking. There's been no mention of it yet and the GS2 is still selling strong

Sprint will want lte version on board to stay competitive, It will drop in August / September.
Anyway current GS2 beats GN in performance and specs except for display.
No need for me to waste upgrade on it.
My next phone will either be the nexus or the iPhone 5. If the nexus drops before summer, I will get it, if not it will be too dated to buy new and I will get the iPhone in the fall when the next one comes out. I am just sick of worrying about OS updates.

How can you say you will buy an iPhone 5 before knowing anything about it. What if that POS still has a 3.5" screen?

I am 100 percent sure my next phone won't be a branded Samsung. Their update policy is the worst. I know the nexus is Samsung, but google updates it. The iPhone is a great phone too. Nexus or iPhone, depending in when the nexus reaches sprint. Obviously I won't buy a year old phone lol.

Im rather sure my next phone will be when i have my new 2 year upgrade and it will be a nexus 3 by then and there should be lte everywhere aka end of 2013. Well atleast good 3g but lte would be nice too. There will multiple thousands of people that got the ET3g that will wait for there 2year upgrade. I mean might as well as well get my moneys worth out of this phone. Its not like whe. 2013 role around this phone wont even. Be. Obsolete except the 4g which i dont have here anyway. No phobes will be scroling faster and apps wont be opening much faster. New phones may ha e bettter battery life but not by much, ill ha e ICE within 6 months as a bonus. All new phonea screens will be 720 but at 160 density i can wait. Hell there will still be choke people on pbones way below this one in 2013 still. Im happy as can be and have no prob waiting till my 2year upgrade rolls around

Samsung is the worst, the only reason I keep coming back is because of camera as well as the screen. HTC phones are just average to me, and sense is too much of a hog. Samsung processors are fast, devices are smooth. It's just that software team blows, we never get updates, and half of them break more things.

Who is better right now at updates?

[Q] Any former Evo 3D users here?

I've noticed a lot of familiar faces around here, how many people here came from the Evo 3D? I used to think once the Evo got AOSP the phone would work better. I wish I had waited for this phone with my upgrade! I bought this on Ebay, I just couldn't take the lag anymore. It's such a night and day difference. Are you other folks satisfied with the switch?
Hell yes this phone is night and day better than evo3d.... There is no looking back from here

i came from the evo 3d and all i gotta say is i dont miss that thing one bit....
before you ever switch phones i must suggest this rom for your pleasure :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1323763
Glad I made the move. Even sold back my EVO3D with a broken screen to Sprint for $125 and bought the 4G Touch on Amazon for $79. Win win! If I could only access the 3D images and vids women volunteered to test for me...
Lol I trade my 3d straight across for this last weekend. It has been the best trade ever. I had the vibrant on tmo so its like coming home with this phone and using Odin.

Traded my evo3d for a photon, then got this bad boy. I couldn't stand the 16:9 screen of the 3D.
I made the switch from the Evo3d last week...wish I has made the move sooner...
I wish I hadn't listened to people saying this phone was poor quality, I was so wrong
Best move I ever made!!!

ya I have both and love this phone without a doubt. I like how in the htc forums they call this phone junk. it runs circles around that phone. I love the screen. I havent had one build quality problem since day one. even tho they said I would. i did however have multiple issues with the 3d over a couple of them. also as far as samsung being shady with updates. not for this phone! this is getting Ice cream sandwich very soon. I laugh everytime I see one of those threads. they don't realize how easywe have it over here where there is no need for a site like htcdev.com to unlock a bootloader like the evo 3d needs. welcome to the green side

I was biased towards Samsung and was half expecting non stop problems and deal with the LOS and the soundpool bug for the next six months or more, and forget about ICS...maybe in 2014.
Samsung proved me wrong on all accounts.
Ya, I am glad I switched. I thought HTC was so cool. It was like thinking a Geo Storm was cool back in 1996. Ya, it ain't sh!t compared to my Audi turbo with panoramic sunroof. You would think the people at Sprint would have said, hey, don't buy the 3d. It is a POS. I looked at the photon but I couldn't get use to that pixel thing going on with the screen
I got the Evo 3D on launch day...in November, this phone came up for a penny on Amazon, and I had to go for it. When it came in, I was shocked at how much smoother and faster it was than the Evo.
I'm definitely glad that I made the switch.
Yes, sold my 3vo.
had the 3d sold it and now I am rocking this beauty!!
I love this phone I just wish it had a better build, I'm not a fan of Samsung plastic. Other than taht it blows the 3d out the water. I still have my 3d because I gave it my sister but still love flashing Roms on it :b.
I liked my 3d. I just like this phone more. Coming from an og evo, I was bummed with the slightly smaller screen, weaker speaker and camera.
Gps seems better on 3vo but that is it. Literally. This thing could run the entire evo in a widget.

Is Samsung known for less than spectacular gps? My last Samsung was a Moment and the GPS was horrible.

While my ET is in repair (unbricking service), I'm running Evo3D. It's just not as snappy as ET. There are some inexplicable lags.
