I'm on my fourth Epic.
When I first got the Epic I was reading through a lot of posts and found some of you all to be on your 5th and 6th epics. I thought to myself, wow I don't see why this would happen the phone is functioning so perfectly. Then after a few days, bam.
1st Epic: Did not charge - Plugged it in nothing
2nd Epic: According to sprint rep. Not receiving updates OTA,was told to take it to radioshack - stuck on DI07
3rd Epic: Blown out speaker - seriously wtf
Now, the third epic I had was the weirdest. I woke up this morning and turned on my Epic. I opened the browser and began browsing the normal pages I do every day. Then, I hear a POP from the back speaker, and then a bunch of scratchy noises. I turn the phone off, take the battery out for 30 seconds and turn it on. Now the speaker sounds like sh*t quality.. Had to get it replaced.
I really don't think any of the above problems were my fault though, I took precious care for my Epic and always kept it safe in the case..
The embarrassing part is walking into radioshack, getting it exchanged by the same radioshack staff 3 times... The third time they were out of stock and I had to go to ANOTHER radioshack store. Was very unpleasant.
Now what scares me is, after the 3rd epic I had speaker blew out,I went to sprint to get it fixed because I didn't want to replace it again.. But the sprint representative said they don't fix it unless its the first device...really?! What if I have another problem by the time the year is over? Its usually 1 year fixed at sprint. Is this true? Can someone clear this up please?
I really hope this last Epic works fine, I really do not want to go into Radioshack or a Sprint store again for the rest of my life.. -.-. If it does I might have to get an Evo, which is sad because I love the Epics Screen, Keyboard, everything.
Thanks for reading.
