Was tryna a few things with the parts of the 2phones I had. Then realised something n I got 2 new/refurbd epics for the return of 1 yesterday n 2day...didn't wana do it to them butthey owed me for a claim I didn't need to make with asurion in nov. So sprint were kinda even (not really). But they should last until or pay for my next upgrade

hmm was it SRF 1.1 with vision kernel 1.0 that had a nice time bricking epics? i think mine lasted about a week on that kernel because of the ram under volts or something. i just got my epic replaced a week ago though, so i cant get this one replaced for a little bit. but it loves cm9. (it didnt have to get replaced for software reasons, it had some water damage about a year ago that i didnt really worry about, but the microphone was toasted, so i had to yell for anyone to hear me. but it got replaced as just having a bad mic. =) )
edit: was it VisionKernel 1.2 or Twilight Kernel 1.0.2? both were removed i cant remember which one it was though, but it took about 2 weeks and then it was bricked.
saw this in the comments thread... that would be areal bummer, IMO
Nah the Epic replacement is that new LG slider that just leaked. The 4" dual core 1.2 GHz one.

I think it was 1.2 I was so new then that I stuck with SRF 1.1 and Vision 1.0 and left well enough alone then got comfy with flashing and sorts. SRF was my first ROM.

I don't want to start a whole arguement as it already had long time ago. But I never had problems with my Epic and he did warn everyone just like your supposed to say in the OP before flashing anything.
My Epic had no issues with any of his kernels not to mention it was the best for my phone. I mean I could Undervolt that sucker big time. For ex. 100 MHz was Uv'ed down to 450mV and still worked running that low.
Vision 1.2 ran on my phone for more than 2 weeks and still had no problems.

Nearly 2 years before going EOL, not bad at all....
Even if you have to have a DHRP ordered for you by a Sprint S&R store or one of their ASCs, it'll be quite awhile before Sprint runs out of refurbished Samsung Epic 4Gs as replacements. Part of the reason they have an abundant supply of refurbished handsets people is because Sprint is proactive in their corporate retail stores to have their L/RCs buy back customers D700s for credit during a handset upgrade. They've been doing the same thing with the HTC EVO 4G, EVO 3D as well as the EVO Shift 4G, all frequent handsets showing up for repair in the S&R and ASCs.

I loved both of those kernels, they were fast as hell. And I wasn't really worried when my phone bricked, as I had insurance lol. I also had backups, so I didn't lose much. I was actually jokingly making a suggestion for getting phones replaced through TEP using the kernel that bricked phones. I don't remember which one it was for sure though, but there was a massive thread about it back in the day, and the cause of the bricks was too much RAM under voltage for some of our phones. But I still went back to that kernel when I got my new phone, just not that version of it lol

Is the epic 4g going be the last smartphone with a full keyboard? I was kinda excited about the new epic 4g touch but without a keyboard I can't see myself getting it. A touch screen keyboard can never fully replace a real keyboard. I'm really hoping we a epic 4g 2 or a epic 3d.

I'm sure some manufacturer will make another keyboard phone. That's the beauty of Android, you can have different phone choices to satisfy a market niche.
Other than that, there's always Blackberry.

lol how can you assume it will be the last slide-out android phone?? they're still making them for other carriers, just not Sprint. But not much has come out yet for Sprint since the Epic, except for the Evo 3d. But I know they are coming out with the Droid 3 on Verizon, which has a slide-out. Don't give up hope. The true Epic upgrade will arrive someday. Let's hope with at least a 1.5Ghz processor and a LOT more internal memory and RAM.
EDIT: LG Optimus SLider is coming out this month for Sprint. SPH-M930 (slider) coming out in October.
Yea' I was thinking about the droid 3 then the photon commercial came on.
They cycle the releases of phones with kb and no kb to maximize sales. So don't worry in a few months there will be another samsung phone with a kb. I'm the same way I will not get a phone without a kb again

We will get it. The new Conquer has it and it is basically an Epic. I think they want to resolve the reboot issue that has plagued new Gingerbread releases from the start. Then they can wash their hands of the Epic and not worry about any more maintenance releases.

I don't blame Sammy one bit, I blame Sprint.
I could be totally wrong, but my personal opinion is if the Epic had been on say Verizon this update would have been long since finished.
Just my IMO.
I want an Epic2 so bad right now, I think the last rdf pushed me over the line I'm affraid to say...
I wish the epic2 had a keyboard. I'm probably going to hold off on getting any new phones until the next good android with a slide out keyboard. in the meantime I really wish they would put out source to our Dev's who seem to have a much better handle on debugging and let us get our cyanogen on. Hell with a good cyanogen 7 rom I probably wouldnt get a new phone for another 2-3 years.
Agreed, I mean I have to face the facts, Ill have this phone for at least 1 more year, and I'm sure longer, since Ill probably wait till the next "thing" comes out after I'm eligable for an upgrade.

I agree here. The International version has reportedly received timely updates. I don't know if they were referring to 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 or an incremental bug fix upgrade but supposedly they don't have this issue. I can't resist anymore. I went to the Sprint store and the Manager is going to hold one for me until I get there on launch day. Maybe having 2 active phones is excessive but I can't wait until my upgrade comes. Also, I am not ready to get rid of my Epic. I still love this phone.

Verizon??? The company with the last Galaxy S phone to get updated? The single carrier not to have any SIGN of the gingerbread update ever coming out for their Galaxy S phone? The carrier that believes that the Droid Charge is a suitable replacement for THE GS2? Sprint is probably the best carrier to bet on for upgrades to non "Droid" phones...

Got to bring the wife's epic into Sprint for a hardware issue. It appears the phone speaker isn't working. Thought it was Cm7 issue but flashed back to stock EL30 (btw thanks to who ever got that for us) with modem still no sound at all. Copied all her data off onto the computer formated the card then copied some stuff back like her pictures and music. Hopefully they won't give me a hard time I am paying for the extended. I am kind of hoping they will offer a upgrade to the touch.
Any suggestions would be grateful.
Good luck!
Gotta figure out the angle to take. Whether to pull a complete phone "What's root? Is that some kind of new Pokemon?" angle. Or the "Yeah I am alright with Android, I just hit a bump. Help me out?"
I usually play stupid. With the added nicety.
You should be fine on the service issue. Good luck on the upgrade attempt.

Our headset speaker broke. I bought another one on eBay, split the display, replaced the speaker and it still didn't work. Took it to sprint, paid $35 and they swapped the entire display /top slider.

So I'm on my third shift in two months and I've had it with this phone. First two had touch screen issues and now the third one when I slide out the keyboard the hinges are like grinding. Last time I spoke with a Sprint rep he told me there was only a certain amount of replacement phones allowed and then they would upgrade me. Will this force me to use my upgrade early? I don't really want to use my upgrade early unless I can upgrade again in 6 months when my original contract is up. I would rather wait for the new motorola slider to come out before using my upgrade. And I don't want to have to pay like $200 yet for a new phone/contract. So what are all of my options, or do you think they'll offer a slight upgrade for free like a evo 3d or something?
Well I left sprint yesterday and was shocked that the only htc device they have is the EVO 4G lte. The evo3d and evo design have both been discontinued and pulled from the shelves... Insurance is your only option for a shift and they are on back order... Not exactly a great situation for a shift owner...

Yeah Sprint knows I'm fed up with all these shifts being on back order and not having a working phone for weeks at a time and then sending me crappy refurbs that only last a week or so.

If you do take it in, and they start giving you ISH. Do what I do, while your still standing there call Sprint. Let them know the situation, and that the CS Rep in the store isn't helping you resolve the issue. What I've found out the GD hard way, is that the people in the store are not even remotely trying to help you. They're usually on direct orders from the Store Manager to basically put you off. Or try and get you to go through insurance. The stores bottom line is their main concern, not you. I've actually had a store Rep tell me there was nothing he could do to help me. Then I tell him I have Sprint on the phone, and they'd like to speak with them. Then all of a sudden the story changes.
I'm still on my first Shifty, but it is finally beginning to have problems. The touch screen is acting very weird. It acts as if my finger is constantly touching the top portion of the screen.
It will open whatever app is up there, if any, and click through every button within the app on that part of the screen. All while I am not even touching the screen. If I try to back out of the screen or hit home it will just do it again over and over, like I'm hitting the same area over and over.
If I smack the phone off the palm of my hand it stops...lol

If you can start with kernels. They're a little easier in terms of not having to deal with c++
Plus I think your efforts show more when you have your own custom kernels in the roms.

I got my replacement Epic after true bricking the other. After two years with this phone my first true brick. Even Sprint couldn't Odin it.
Anyways, maybe its my imagination, but the modem and wi-fi seem stronger, and it seems quicker? Is it possible the rev'd the hardware in this? Probably not, but don't ruin it for me.

I am probably completely wrong about this but I feel like phones start to slow down over time. I had an Evo 4G that I constantly flashed new ROMs onto and over time it started to get really sluggish. I went back to my go to smooth and stable ROMs and even those did the Evo no justice. I have a friend that says it's exactly the same with his HTC Inspire.
This is exactly how I felt about my Samsung epic 4g. It felt as if the hardware wore out, (particularly the hard drive) due to dozens, maybe hundreds of flashes.

I've been really impressed with it. I also didn't realize how loose the hinge for the keyboard had become, nice and tight now.
I don't think I will need to upgrade anytime soon.

I would definitely bring it in... if you have TEP they will fix it for free...
Nah, its just two different phones. My wife's Epic has always had a faster radio than mine. Your new one is probably faster than the old one.
