Odin, see if that works first

I have had the same problem happen when I was running an app called powermax and trying to charge at the same time. Turned the app off and charged just fine. A friend of mine had this exact same issue with the same app.

It is chargring a little bit bit now but only bit but at snails pace and if I am using it It does not charge is it port or battery

what happens when charger in connected ? any sign of life ??
leave battery out for 5 mins, (make sure it has some charge)
do the 3 button combo THEN insert the battery, still holding the 3 button combo.
let me know the results

How/why would the battery fall out? If its a new phone just return it and start out fresh. Alternatively, the jig should work.

Nice unboxing makes me wish I had a brand new one

Hope you got one from a good batch that let's you overclock as high as you want or undervolt. I will be interested to see what differences you have between the two

I can't believe they send a new 16gb sd card with the replacement. I need to replace mine as well, it has cracks on the top corner of the screen.
Edit: do you have to send a 16gb card back in order to not have a penalty?

No you keep your old card battery charger everything only thing they want is the phone you even keep the old battery back

What he said. They say not to send it back. Just the phone.

Ok, so im trying to root using the same method i did last time. but i cant get the drivers to install completely 4/5 install fine but: CDC Abstract Control Model (ACM) is stuck on Installing driver software. Adb says the device is attached, but offline. Any suggestions? Usb debugging is enabled.

Didn't you already have the drivers installed?

3. Uninstall anything samsung, google, android, sprint and epic.
4. Check add or remove software a make sure all drivers are gone
5. Unplug phone
6. Install drivers using the exe

I just had mine replaced this week and on low brightness settings the screen seems to have a yellow green tone. Turn up the brightness and the whites are as white as can be. Any issues with your screen on the lowest brightness?
As for over clocking I have had no issues @1300

Hmm

Looks like I bricked my epic... ain't that a *****.
Hard bricked too, done all the normal ****, let it sit, push buttons... non-responsive.
And before anyone says it. THERE IS NO MAGIC BUTTON..

You take out sd card?

lemme guess odin? I was pretty bricked once. I took the sd card out. Plugged it to my computer (not wall) and held one for like 30-40 seconds and then pressed power and it magically booted into download mode. Just try that or the other way around. Worked for me. Good luck!

What were you doing with it when it got bricked?

Did u plug into computer while battery is out? Then try going into download mode?

yes.. and ill try it powda..
i was odin working on eg22plus, went to odin back to eg22 stock and it just immediately failed after md5 check, and wouldnt come back on... didnt even show to try to write anything.

Do you have a car dock or media dock. I was in a similar predicament once and all of the above failed to bring it back. Then I was on the way to the Sprint store to swap out when I put my Epic in the car dock (force of habit) and it magically booted to the screen with the pictures of the pc and phone. I was able to pull the battery and boot to download mode from there.

That sucks man, I hope this doesn't spur some sort of idea that "if I have to buy a new phone anyway I may as well get an evo 3d..." or anything like that ;-)

Did you push the power button repeatedly when battery was out to drain any leftover juice in the phone or is that just a myth?

Was that to me? I was just suggesting last ditch effort stuff for Chris to try since his phone was bricked. I would even try the pinhole by the camera under the battery cover. Nothing can hurt to try once you have tried all of the other tricks to get your phone back up.

One time my cousin's HTC aria wasn't working, he slammed it onto the table and it powered on. All it takes is a little...education. Show who the boss is!

Lol...that was going to be my last resort suggestion. Try giving it a good smash against something when all else has failed..you may get lucky

Charging battery led ?

Hey. I was wondering if there was some kind of cm7 add on I could flash and have some kind of led light turn on while my phone is charging. I have a funky charger and would like to know if my phone is charging without having to turn on the screen I'm on neutrino 2.6 ee ..-sigh- I wish I new how to code. xD
Sent from my MB860 using XDA

Theirs an app in the Google Play market that allows for this, as well change the led color. I tried this on my Atrix and it works well.
Not sure why the led isn't already showing that it's charging for you. But try out this app it's called Light Flow Lite - LED Control.
Hope this helps. If not maybe someone else can help you out =).

Light flow..on playstore

I just downloaded it. Next time I put my phone on the charger ill report back on it. Thanks! And yeah. It is kinda strange that it isn't a native feature. I think it is on stock gingerbread

Didn't work for me :/ I turned on all the settings that had to do with charging.

Well its working for me, especially after rebooting. Try rebooting your phone after applying the setting.

I have noticed that mine changes when you get an SMS while charging, but then when you have checked the message the charge led doesn't come back on. But that is on jokersax cm9 not 7.
