    It seems we will get a choice when it comes to the next Epic

    We all already know the rumors of the next Epic 2 which would NOT be the next Galaxy S II but instead a slightly beefed up design of the original. A post from BGR today, however, says that Sprint will still be keeping the Epic name for the Galaxy S II variant coming to that carrier. Now...

    Problems with text zooming

    I just recently flashed my phone and it is now having problems zooming in on text. Before the reflash when I double tapped on zoomed in text the text would fit itself to the screen making it very easy to read. Now when I double tap on the zoomed in text, it zooms way out and is unreadable...

    Why do official videos not show up on youtube?

    I noticed that when I search for music videos on youtube, the official videos(which on the PC site of the youtube site are highlighted) don't search up on searches in the youtube app. Instead I'm left with a bunch of stupid fan made videos that are completely not what I'm looking for.

    Video taken from my Epic

    Went to the football game yesterday, well technically 2 days ago now and recorded this: I would have recorded another touchdown as well but the epic suddenly said camera failed 15 seconds into the clip and cut out right before the throw, kind of ticked me off. Still happy it didn't let...

    Shotty build quality, bad luck, or improper care....

    I picked up my evo the 16th of last month. The first 2 weeks I did not have a case on it. I was babying the thing. It went in a pocket all on its own. When I laid it down on my table, I placed my micro fiber clothe. I laid it down on regular surfaces every now and then especially when I...

    Anyone elses evo acting funny?

    I think my evo is starting to lose itself. It's been doing some weird stuff lately. Not showing icons/images on website unless I deleted the cache/history/restart the phone. I also lost pinch to zoom until I restarted the phone. It has done the icon thing twice. A couple of minutes ago, it...

    Just got back from the Sprint Store and The EVO was nice but wasn't mind blowing. Yes it was snappier then my hero but not sure if it was $450+ snappier. Also certain things were disheartening.
