I think we came to the conclusion in irc that the average age of epic users here is 17, while the mental age is more like 14.
I never would have thought that myself, at 23, am actually on the older side of members (not that 23 is old. Or 36 for that matter)
Sorry that doesn't make you feel any younger

stealing that.
i used to tell people when they asked how old i was that when i was in HS i had to break up with this girl that lived in manhatten (i live in queens for the nyers) because i wasn't allowed to call her because it was a long distance call. this is within the same city mind you. this even before pagers became popular (the ones that you would call the # and key in your phone number... no alphanumeric or any of that)
PS before any of you young wise asses ask why we just didn't IM... there was no internet back then. at least not that anyone had

i remember when AOL was "cool" to have. back in 1997... was that like a thousand years ago? one song took me over an hour to download. i even dial-up dukematched with a friend for Duke Nukem 3d. i remember knowing some lucky kids who had that internet thing even earlier and they had to pay by the minute!
and before that? i read books. i remember books... they looked like these words i'm typing now, but i could flip the pages instead of sliding my finger on the screen. ;_; i miss books.
::goes to find a book::
and i'm only 30.

from what i hear they've stopped teaching cursive writing in school now. there's kids that can't even read letters their parents wrote years ago

Except there isn't any phone support yet? The only device they could base this off of is the Motorola Xoom. I'm waiting until Google officially gives the ability to watch on my phone before believing this. And if this is true, back to Netflix and movie download sites it is.

It's nice to be positive but this is just another step that has been taken lately that brings the likely end to support for "openness"

that's ok google, i'll just stream my dish network service to my phone for a one time fee and be able to watch the same channels i have at home for no additional cost.

I have netflix and hulu i'll be fine. I'm not that much of a movie watcher

Oh puhlease. Like this won't be hacked-in within a week. Hell, Vegas probably has odds on when.

I think you guys are missing the point.
Yeah, there many be alternatives to this specific service, but if this stands up it says that Google is no longer interested in openness.

People have been saying it's the movie companies pressuring Google. My question is why, since rooting alone doesn't mean you can bypass the payment service with Android Market. They'd still get their money.

Yeah that to! I could care less about overclocking with a dual core phone. I really just want this OS to take off man its been way too long and I think google needs to get in gear; if they don't windows will catch up and grab a huge chunk of the market shares. Im not asking for much but most the features that android is lacking need to be standard, one shouldn't have to root to achieve all these things (the list is long lol). For some strange reason I really feel like when all these wp7 nokia phones come out it will give them a huge jump! Everyone knows Nokia always had ****ty software but hardware is unsurpassed. Honestly, I think google needs to hit android with some more design that uses hardware acceleration or something different from the plain aosp look. Im not talking sense, or other flavors I hate fragmentation, they need to overhaul the design for aosp.

Works VERY WELL! I have lived by miren browser... this blows miren out of the water... very snappy to load pages! My new favorite browser! Now they just need to make it work on something other than ics and it'll be the only browser I need!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

I agree, its pretty snappy and it feels like it should have been there all along.
I like it very much.

I just downloaded it and I really like it so far. The tab system is really smooth and good looking and there are a bunch of nice optimizations (like the magnification bubble that pops up when clicking on small links, like page numbers on a thread). The desktop bookmarks is SUPER laggy though, it takes a good 15-20 seconds for it to load and let you click on something.

Been using this on my PC's for years and I love it on my phone. Fastest browser yet! I just hope they come out with a dark version. Previously I used the dark dolphin mini and blacked out miren, chrome is soooo bright!

How often do people go to Kongregate on their phones through the browser to play games? There's enough apps with similar games, and you will still have the stock browser with flash if you really need it. I find that I barely use it in the browser. The Chrome browser is really well put together and will only get better!

HTML5 is just about ready to bust out; youtube has a whole branch for it. I am thinking really soon HTML5 will get the big push. (in that non-computer geeks will know it exists)

i agree flash is out dated but alot of sites still use it. thought it deserve a mention for people like me that dont want to have multiple apps for one purpose cluttering their phones. chrome beta is a great browser but until flash is completly gone it wont work for me. just my prefrence.

Running this on CM9-alpha1 and loving it! Tab management is the best I have seen to date, very clean. Also, syncing bookmarks and history is a huge plus. I type "f" in the address bar and it auto-suggests straight to the Epic 4G Android Dev page on XDA, just like it does on my laptop and desktop.

Irrelevant. It is a browser's job to show me web pages. If there's an old page with useless flash content, it is the responsibility of the browser to render it.
Regardless, I downloaded this earlier and wonder why it hasn't been part of Android all along, or why it wasn't just an update to the stock browser. Google now has two very similar mobile browsers for Android.

Anybody else feel like the OG Epic was under-appreciated?

It just occurs to me on such a regular basis, that when I pick my phone up, it's a perfect example of engineered quality. I wouldn't change anything about this phone. It's seriously perfect.
My only problem now is that I just get bored with things and probably am getting thirsty for a new, sleeker model. But seriously, does anybody feel like the SPH-D700 didn't get the glory it deserved?

I find the hardware to be quite good (although by the standards of today, I wouldn't mind a faster processor), but I find the software to be buggy and incomplete at best (EVEN EL30), which is sad considering how many chances that they had to make this a good device. Stuff like the GPS and other assorted issues makes me really shake my head in disappointment with Samsung.

Ive been saying that since I bought it.

Everywhere I go people still compliment and ask what phone is that. I don't know how much longer I will have this phone but I'm also not countig the days down unlike when I had my POS moment.
Just the fact that this phone was released q3 of 2010 and is not EOL yet despite the Epic touch release says a lot.

Considering it was supposed to be a Bada device, I think the devs had to get to the Android party late. I'd expect that translating the software to the hardware was the original issue but it seems to be more under control and may have lead to extended life for the device.

It was much faster than the evo. I loved my Epic. Perhaps the lack of froyo and gb is what made the Epic so much fun. Literally the only thing I would've changed is the responsiveness of the captivate buttons.

You'll need a BT keyboard, because there's no way to open up the virtual keyboard when you get to the login window, and unfortunately you can't go fullscreen since the applet is fit to the size of the window. So you're stuck with the bar at the top.

Jumping into the game seems to give you a black screen as of right now...
... but going into settings and manually tinkering with it I GOT THE GAME TO LOAD!!!!! It takes three and a half years (not even exaggerating that bad, literally took half an hour), but it works!
Basically, just tap the gear at the top right and set it to low, then refresh if you need to. Try not to scroll if you can help it. Then start up the game!
Once you can see everything on the ground, the game's still not done loading. Give it some more time and THE SKY APPEARS!!! (...along with a subscribe button)
Aaaand a couple years later, your character will finally appear.
Be careful taking screenshots, this is super intensive on the hardware so it'll lag really, really, really bad. The audio will snip and your screen will flash like 80 times.
The FPS is terrible if you were wondering.
Here's a video.

Haha :laugh:
I stopped playing that a long time ago - here are a few screenshots that I have

Supposedly it runs poorly on PCs too. The game itself is still beta and hasn't been optimized yet.
I'm not even sure Chrome will utilize the GPU, so maybe forcing GPU rendering in Dev options will help.

That probably wouldn't help since it's a 3D game, right?

Are you thinking about starting again or something? :angel: I quit in 2007 and gave away $200m in items and cash to my best friends in the game. Then a few years later I gave my character away to one of my best friends in real life who plays occasionally.
I attached a few of my fave screenshots I made back then.

I never really got into Runescape for some reason. A friend of mine did give me a level 30 something to play with and it was fun but nothing really grabbed me. Of course I wasn't attached to my character like I would have if I kept up with my original character.
