Farewell epic - Epic 4G General

Just wanted to say goodbye to the epic 4g. I recently traded my epic for a nexus s 4g, and I couldn't be happier. I wanted to say thanks to all the great devs that made the epic what it should have been out of the box. My decision was confirmed for me when my wife's LG Optimus s got an ota gingerbread update the other day! Before the epic! Crazy! For me its all nexus phones from now on. There will be some features that I miss from touchwiz, but for the performance and update trade off, I'd gladly go vanilla android. Thanks again for everyone who made the epic an awesome phone!

Good luck with your new toy and happy flashing! This community is great. The ET4G forum was all jovial for the first 2 days. Now, the morons are popping up everywhere! As soon as one minor issue pops up, people are going ballistic. If only they could learn patience from some of us here...

I've got this bro. I'll wear a "Forever Alone Face" mask, and it'll be the story of "E for Epic 4G" and I'll blow up the E4TG Parliamentary Manufacturing plant.
(I really do hope someone gets the connection and I don't look like a lame ass haha)

I just sent an email to Samsung through opensource.samsung.com asking them to release the Gengerbread update and/or the source code for our phone, hopefully they will reply to me in 24 hours as they claim and not just ignore it :/

Pretty ****ty that my niece just got a new Android through METRO PCS (probably the worst provider in the U.S.), and she has Gingerbread. Glad I paid all of this money for something treated like a red headed step-phone.
Disgusted with Samsung beyond belief. What is taking so long to release this? It looks like they are working on it, but I don't understand what is taking so long. Not that I am available for an upgrade right now, but even if I were, there is nothing out there that I really want right now (QWERTY is something I really want).

That's what I did. I traded my epic straight up for a nexus. The Guy wanted a keyboard...I wanted an unlocked phone. Worked good all around. There's quite a few of us former epic users in the nexus forums. I got to say, its all its cracked up to be!

Still using my Epic as my main phone, but I used my sister's upgrade to get the Nexus. Just as a nerd toy. Got it for 30 dollars. It was so worth it oh my god, MIUI is amazing on that curved screen. It hasn't been thirty days yet and I was gonna trade it back for the Epic 4G Touch but the Best Buy website says there isn't any in stock in my area so I guess I'm stuck with my Nexus

30 dollars?! Damn, and that was a hell of a deal! I really would like to get my hands on one of those so I can get a true Miui and CM7 experience. I am too new to the Android scene. I have yet to have a phone with either of those ROMs but I assure I will get a chance on my ET4G

Maybe Pre3?
Galaxy 10, playbook, or the HP tablet
WiMax/LTE news
Sounds promising, but I'm not going to hold my breath for anything until the actual announcement. My EVO isn't even 6 months old yet, but if they come out with something that blows my mind, I'll probably pay retail for a new handset.
Lets go sprint. I've been with sprint since they came into the cell phone world and their service was the worst. Now I am quite glad that I stuck with them for all these years.

Oh man....I'm going to have to get an NS 4G and an Evo 3D. Double fisted phone junky.

4ton4g

My current gf's upgrade is due and she's elgible for the phone surprisingly! I was considerng dropping my sexy, gorgeous, fantastic, amazing epic 4g on her and taking off with the 4ton4g! I played around with it a bit yesterday at the sprint store and I literally jizzed in my briefs!(false story) I'm strongly considering taking it though! Has any one played around with it as of late? First impressions?

I don't know if I would call the phone 'ugly' but it's certainly different. The screen...well, no one can really compete with Sammy's screen, let's get real here. Locked bootloader = fail IMO. I know, I know, there's an update that supposed to come out and unlock it, but when? Has there been an actual announcement date on it?
I was seriously considering the Photon because of impatience with the SGSII, but knowing the bootloader is in fact locked, and with hope of Nexus 3 coming in a few months, I'm going to skip on the Photon personally.
I hope it's a rockin phone for those that get it, I just won't be one of them.
locked bootloader = fail
I literally just got mine in the mail the ups guy just knocked on the door I'm about to open it up now......gotta love working for a third party sprint dealer. Korey has it and loves it. Unfortunately only way to root right now is having the media dock which is 100 bones but I'll let you guys know tomorrow how I actually feel about the phone.
Gonna miss my keyboard but I'm going to keep my epic for dev/testing purposes.....
I don't know display is really pixelated and lock bootloader sux
I honestly could not buy it. My epic right now runs smoother. Just based on the reveiws the galaxy s2 is much better than the other duel core phones.

What's a good phone for messing around?

I noticed the Nexus S is cheap and alright but wondering if there are any other ones. Not trying to replace mine but to have fun with and do other stuff. I can buy a Nexus S for about 75$ barely been used. But what about the HTC Evo Shift? Any tips Is appreciated.
I dont want older phones haha, nothing more than 100$.
I dont want to add a new line or activate any phone.
Not too interested in tablets. Something that still isn't too dead and is over-clockable as the Epic if not better.

Whoever said the Samsung Moment should be charged with treason against nerd kind lol. (Had it, didn't hate it until later, had it data lock up after being in a hit and run and couldn't call 911)
I'd probably say the Nexus, only due to the nature of it getting updates and more open space for customization.

That was the issue with the Sammy Moment i even talked to Samsung and they realized it was their fault and non-user related that it forced into a data lockup and FCC states that a phone must at all times be able to call 911. and yaadada big story but anyways is there any other phones you guys think thats reasonable and good to like the Nexus S? i was thinking of the Shift?
lol.. easy there guys.. i was joking (name IS PvtJoker afterall) I was laughing cause my moment is sitting on my desk under a nice veil of dust. If i had to pick a random phone just to play with, nexus s would be my pick too.
the nexus s is the same as our phone just no keyboard what else can you ask for?

The nexus s is a developer phone that you root with adb. The droid is locked down and 100 % unrootable (in theory. It is rootable but it is hard to.. It is locked down like the iphone) .

New phone for an old horse?

Hey guys, I'm looking for a new (used) device since my Verizon service has been disconnected as I can't afford it any more. I'd like to get my hands on a fascinate in decent condition with a clean esn, so that I can activate it on a more affordable prepaid plan. Please PM me or post here with any offers. Thanks.
Hey man. Awesome to see you around these parts again.
Have you tried looking at swappa? I think they have used fascinates for $120 apx.
I have access to the best buy private auction site. Seems you can do a "buy it now" for 90$ about shipping included. Otherwise you could give me a limit and I could try and bid one for you...
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium
I say we thrown in and buy JT a fascinate! Just as a token of appreciation for all he has done for this device. I would sell mine, but Im not sure that I want to part with it yet lol.
I would love to offer to buy him one outright but I am not in great financial shape myself (damn job search...college and law school were really worthwhile. :banghead: .....). But I could certainly kick in 10 bucks or so.

So long folks, adios amigos!

Today I purchased a Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket. It's been fun following the MB860 thread, but since it looks like it won't get ICS or JB, I had to move on. Thank you to all who helped me figure out my Atrix 4G and special thanks to Epinter for his kickass ROM that IMO, everyone should be running. I'll see you guys around. Goodbye for now. :good:

You wont be alone cuz I'm not going anywhere regardless of ics or not. I've got 2 atrixes in case there isn't a better phone when my contract is up.
Bye soldier. It'll be quiet around here without your wisdom. I appreciate all you've done and I know you'll still be checking the atrix forum.
I'll be dropping this piece of junk come March. Going to support Samsung. Can't decide between GNex or GS3. GS4 might be coming out soon though.
See you in the N7 forums.

According to my phone call today with AT&T, I should be eligible for an upgrade today. If not today, this November. I'm so getting getting a S3 or the next Nexus phone sometime in the near future. Samsung has been getting their act together on updates on their phones unlike in the past.
Motorola can suck it with their $100 trade in offer.

Not leaving either, I got also a Xperia Mini and a Galaxy Tab to play around so the ICS wait is more tolerable. Also, I'll only move away for a GNex. So I'm waiting for the next one at a reasonable price...

Sure.
The real felling behind those "goodbye folks" is "**** you all, losers, I'm going for the big game !" :silly:

Yeah, the Atrix forum is pretty much nothing but goodbye threads and stupid ICS questions. And the occasional zombie thread because of maggedo's many alt accounts.
Well I'm still lurking around, but as you can see from my sig line, I have an Asus Padfone now. Love this thing. But I'll never let go of my Atrix-- it's serving duty now as my TV's "set-top-box" with it's HDMI dock and Bluetooth keyboard. Also since it supports USA bands, I use this when I go back to the States. I still hope it can get some ICS or JB love, but I dunno...
