Sprint Samsung Epic 4G - The Beast Is Here!

Recommended Posts

I had flashed my epic with CM10 (stable release) but could not get data connection. Had same issues on Carbon too. Flashed back to FC09 and had the data connection working again. Could not understand the problem. Reflashed CM10 but had the same issues. Is is because I did not flash any modems post the ROM?

Can someone help me with what all needs to be done to get to CM10 (with all the other stuff that needs to be flashed). I am new to this and almost got my phone to a state where I could not get it to boot except in download mode. Scared to do anything now.

Nothing to be scared of. Just Odin to stock. Before you flash CM10 read the XDA thread thoroughly.

1. do I need nv dump to get evdo data after sf upgrade ?

2. also if do factory reset, will I be able to get evdo ?

pls help

Generally in either case nv dump is not needed. However there is always a risk on formatting and software up gradation that efs items may get erased.

So to be safe yes u should have the nv dump.

It is better to have a NV dump for your phone,

if your phone is working properly, you can create / extract dump your self

Hi Friends,

Need help on Epic Touch 4G - Overheating problem. Battery drains very fast. In fact after buying somewhere in April, I had to replace the battery in June/July 2013. Got original battery from a rimweb member , but issue is still same.

it gets very hot while making a call of ~ 10 minutes or so, or while using data. Charging is almost daily. Eventhough my usage is very very mild, less than 10 calls / day lasting 2-3 minutes each & data for 1/2 hr with wifi hotspot.

Is this a common problem for ET4G ?

I am on Ginerbread 2.3.6, din't update for ICS, as it lacks wifi hotspot feature, which I regularly use.

This is not a common issue ,

something wrong with you phone, get it checked for hardware issue,

also before that, you can try installing stock rom / radio / kernel
