    I live in the central time zone. This morning I woke up and my phone decided to adjust for daylight savings time by 2 hours instead of 1. I checked the time and date settings to find that the date settings were checked to "automatic". Somehow the phone decided I was in the Mountain time...

    Juicde Defender Question

    JuiceDefender has a nice "configure apps" button. When I click it, it opens a list of my apps. If I click an app, it allows me to always enable data for that app, or always disable data for the app. HOWEVER... It only lets me control one app at a time. IE if I select gmail and enable data...

    Time Without Service

    Hi All, So my battery life has gotten better, but it's still somewhat questionable. Even with the airplane mode trick, I still find myself frequently getting 8-10% TWS. I have had my phone last 2 days without a charge, and yet other days the phone is below 30% by 10PM. Is this a legitimate...

    Wifi vs 3G settings Question

    I have a quick question coming from the iPhone to the Epic. On the iPhone, 3G was always enabled as was wifi. Whenever I was in a wifi area, it would connect, and turn off 3G. However as soon as I got out of range of wifi, it would return to 3G for any data needs (checking email, etc). On my...

    Help End Call button doesn't work

    Has anyone had this happen to them? You place a call, and when you're done you attempt to hit the big red "END" button, but nothing happens? I've actually had the call counter tick off an extra 20-30 seconds before it hangs up. Given that this is the main screen and not one of the capacitave...

    Help Touch Screen Lag?

    Ok time for the next issue with this phone. Has anyone noticed a general lag between touch screen presses and actions/sounds? The best examples are: 1) I type fast, and keep the click sound when I type. I can literally hear about a 1/4 second to 1/2 second lag between when I press the buttons...

    Fix for fast battery draining

    I'd like to thank the people over at XDA. I think they may have found the culprit for the horrible battery performance some of us are seeing. There are two threads of interest over there: [Q] Time without signal > 50% - xda-developers Wow battery from 100 to 10 in 3 hours - xda-developers The...

    I like many of you have been waiting for months to get my hands on the epic. However when I bought one, the battery life was insanely unusable even after 4-5 days. So I finally returned it for a new on. Well find out over the next few days how the battery performs. But the new one has...

    Any (former) iPhone users in here?

    I've seen lots of people comparing Epic to Evo, Hero, and others, but I haven't heard a single person compare their new Epic to their iPhone... What do you all think if you're coming from an iPhone? Personally I love the configurability and the widgets. The screen is beautiful, and it's all...

    Help Battery Meters are all so inconsistent or buggy

    I've had my phone unplugged since 11AM this morning. It's now 8PM. My battery meter shows 1h 30m since unplugged (I think this is the built-in status from the OS). Additionally my battery widget shows 26% but the blue batter in the top corner shows 1/2 full. Are there any good battery...

    Multicon - Very Cool!

    It doesn't look like Multicon has made an appearance in the Epic forums. It's a really cool widget that lets you put a bunch of smaller icons in place of a few larger ones. If anyone's an expert user though, can you help me figure out how to arrange the icons horizontally? I can make a 8x2...

    Sprint TV too small?

    Has anyone else tried watching Sprint TV? When I watch a video, the aspect ratio matches the phone, but the image only fills up about 60-70% of the screen, surrounded by black bars on the top, bottom, and sides. Do I need to change a setting, or is that just how it works?

    Help How do I set voicemail greeting without password

    When I attempt to set my voicemail greeting, it first asks me to set a 4-7 digit password, then hit #. If I hit # without entering digits, it says "# is not recognized". The user manual clearly states "Sprint recommends you set a password, otherwise anyone who finds your phone can access...

    Incentives to switch from iPhone?

    I've been with ATT for many years now and have had an iPhone for over 2 years as well. Does Sprint (or can they) offer incentives to help convince you to switch to their service? This could be discounted rates, or free phone case/screen protector, discount on first phone, etc? Is this...

    Swype with Voice to Text

    So I've noticed the Galaxy S phones have Swype Keyboards without the microphone icon, meaning you can't launch speech2text from the keyboard. However on the DroidX, the keyboard looks identical, but it does have the mic. Can we download a new version of swype that has this enabled. I like...
