opinions about what to do please help - Epic 4G General

hello everyone I just want everyones opinion about phones... i know since we all have/had epics we all want keyboards and more than likely are all about samsung but right now im in a predicament on my phone i have the ns4g right now but ive had so many problems with it and asurion told me ive had too many replacements the next thing to do is i need to buy a nexus s at a sprint store for full retail and they will send me a check for whatever i paid as soon as i fax them the receipt... but i asked the guy if there was any other phone i could get instead of the ns4g since ive had so many problems and he told me i could get the evo 3d... now im not a fan of htc but would you consider the evo3d a upgrade? somethings it does have better buy others not... then i went online to the sprint store and saw the evo3d and the ns4g have 549.99 price tag and the epic touch is 499.99 and i asked him if i could get the et4g and he said that would be a upgrade and they wont honor it... but i asked to talk to his manager and hopefully they let me get the epic touch... but i was just wondering if you had the choice of the ns4g or the evo 3d what would you get?... im waiting for his manager to call me back sorry for the long post to read lol

damn 60 ppl have read this and no1 has a opinion to share ?

If you can't get the touch stick with the ns4g. I don't think the evo3d is much of an upgrade....I've never used it probably never will but I feel like the ns4g is just the better option. Can't get those amoled colors on an evo ill tell you that much
By the way this should have gone in the ns4g forum...as it pertains to such.

Lol even they don't think the EVO 3D is an upgrade. But id get the 3D and sell it then get a ns4g or Epic on craigslist
Sent from my SPH-D700

try and get the 4g touch, otherwise get the evo 3d and see if you like it, worse case resell it

Don't use the slide out keyboard much but the epic 4g is the phone i use and like had it for over a year no problems

Thanks everyone.. I got the call from the manager and she let me get the epic touch I love you all

Trade for evo anyone??

I was looking for someone who wanted to trade there epic 4g for my evo 4g its brand new I just got it from sprint. Any one interested let me know.
If you just bought it, don't you have a 30 day return on it?
Plus, the "there", along with the runon sentence doesn't bode well for the seller/trader's credibility.
First: I just got it in the mail because I replaced my old one. Second: thanks for the language tip lol

Depending on where you are I would also consider it. Been something I've been thinking about doing.
Only issue would be I don't know how fair a trade would be...my epic was purchased about a week or so after launch. Its been in a case the whole time but...ya.
Is it a refurb? Or did they send you a brand new one?

I was just gonna say check on Craigslist. I started looking fairly late in the evening, and ended up trading my Epic for an Evo the next morning. Shouldn't be too hard.

Was it a straight up trade? Just curious how you all did it.
why would anyone want to trade an inferior device?
I just looked for an Evo on Craigslist, and found people looking for possible trades. Found a guy who was about 20 minutes away, and met him at my local Sprint store. We checked out each others phones and went into the store where they swapped the activation on them. He threw in $50 with the Evo also. Work out the deal beforehand based on the assumption that condition, age, etc. are all the same, and then go from there once you see the phone in hand. Once you meet the person, you can always walk away if something just doesn't feel right. I'm happy with the way my trade worked out. Just much easier and safer to do locally. That's why I went with Craigslist. Just keep in mind you CAN still get screwed locally, so check the phone thoroughly. The Evo I traded for had a blown speaker, but my local Sprint store replaced the speaker for $35, so I still came out ahead. At some point, you just have to trust the person, as you can't necessarily test EVERYTHING. Good luck, man.

Inferior? No. I'm happier with my Evo than I was with my Epic. Different phones entirely. Both are nice, but I just found my Epic too buggy, and had no need for a thicker phone with a keyboard. I'm not saying the Evo is better. Just better for me. I do miss the SAMOLED screen though.
I've been throwing around the idea of trading mine for a evo but I'm just worried ill miss the epic. I had a evo when it first came out then switched to epic and I can't make up my mind on which one I want. I don't use my keyboard ever so its kind of a waste.
Wow u been a senior member on this forum and lack of knowledge ..evo inferior they are both the same I ll say just the preference ....

Same here, I really dig the epic but really don't use the keyboard and just think the evo feels better in the hand. Right now the screen is keeping me with the epic but samsungs/sprints lack of software support and accesories for the phone are making me lean towards trading for an evo

Sprint's New Phones

"Sprint announcing Nexus S 4G, EVO 3D, and EVO View tablet at CTIA?" (sorry can't post the link but its on Engadget.)
I feel like this is good news, if sprint releases a Nexus S 4G we should be able port its build over to the Epic without too much trouble. We might finally be able to get quick updates.

Would you people still seriously think about getting another Samsung phone after how bad they've screwed up the epic experience? No I'm not trying to be a troll or start a flamefest. It's an honest question. I had the epic but gave it to my gf after I got tired of waiting on sprint and Samsung dicking around.

Google handles updates for Nexus phones, so you don't have to worry about Sammy ****ing it up.

The devotion that Google has to the Nexus brand makes anything the Epic went thru irrelevant. I would definitely get the Nexus S 4G if it came to Sprint. I'm not concerned with dual core seeing as how my Epic runs blazing and handles games amazingly. It suits my needs just fine. But I might consider the Evo successor as well.
Gawd I hope this is true. It will restore my faith in Sprint.

It sounds too good to be true. Can other people confirm if this is true?
I hope the build quality is top notch and it doesn't feel cheap, too light and plastic. I hope its solid and not flexible and creaky. I think I saw one at best buy. I should go back and play around. See what it's like.
Does the nexus one still get updates before anyone else does?

That's a huge downgrade. There's a thread on here about how terrible the epic is compared to the Shift. Get a 3vo!
the only thing that sells me for the epic is the screen size and color and the ffc.. everything else IS better on the shift. x100

Sent from my PC36100
My charging port has been loose & I've been putting off taking it in. I just might have to now. I didn't think that the 3D was worth the upgrade, but it's worth the replacement.
Worst case scenario is that I get another Evo, and that's all I need anyway.
Sent from my Evo + MIUI using Tapatalk!
Jeez, I'd hate it if my Evo broke, but if they're giving up 3D's so soon after they came out as an even trade... day-um!
Wow, sounds like a pretty kick ass deal. I was considering doing an insurance claim cause my power/unlock button kind of stopped working but it works now, kinda. Has a mind of its own, works sometimes and does work other times... I was wondering how they would be doing replacements since they stopped making the OG Evo. I also felt that the 3D was not worth the upgrade at all, but hell I would gladly take one to replace my old Evo. Only thing I would miss is the dev community and the stupid amount of choices we have as far as roms and mods lol. I think it is safe to say that no other android phone has a bigger dev community than the OG Evo.
My charging ports also been broken for a couple months I just haven't bothered to fix it. I have an external charger

That's exactly what I thought. I wasn't gonna use an upgrade on it but a trades totally worth it
I love my EVO too, but I wouldn't be that unhappy if I had to upgrade. I do enjoy being able to change ROMs whenever and to whatever I want basically, but I've tried AOSP, I've tried MIUI, and I keep coming back to Sense, so I'd probably just go to Eternity ROM on 3D and be done with it. I would still miss my EVO though.

Leaving my Evo. Parting is such sweet sorrow.

About to leave to go get my Epic 4g Touch using my dads upgrade. ( I'll have mine in a month to get a new LTE phone ) Just wanted to thank everyone that helped me learn about android by answering my stupid questions and for being a wonderful community of people. Gonna miss my Evo alot, but I'll still have it around for random business such as PC remote and whatnot. oh no.... I told myself I wouldn't cry... *sniff sniff* I LOVE YOU GUYSSSSSS
I 2nd this post. Hard to imagine leaving my Evo, even tho it's 21mo old. I doubt any other device I get will stay relevant this long. And the community has been great.

I switched to the NS4G after my Evo **** the bed, and I still miss it.
The Nexus has been far more reliable and has a slick form factor, but I have large hands and miss the brutish size of the Evo. Not to mention the dev support - with the nexus, you get your choice of AOSP, modded AOSP, or the single Sense 2.1 rom.
can u please elaborate on that pc remote thing?
thanks
that is the biggest reason I rooted my phone. I was getting tired of it and still have about 8 months to my upgrade since Sprint did awway with the yearly upgrade on the primary line. The ability to flash different ROMS has given it a totally different look n feel, improved my battery life and brought about new love for my phone. i have decided im not upgrading now until I can get a 4G LTE device and have 4G service in my area.
Having similar feelings. Will be getting something new very soon. Everything I know about android I learned from my Evo and this community. Pretty awesome.

It sets different OOM values. Essentially telling androind when to kill processes if they're bogging down the rest of your system. That is my understanding from reading, if anyone cares to correct, I'd be more than happy.
