    Change Contacts to Google - Stupid Pill ?

    You mean something like this? * From the Contacts screen * Select the Menu (lower left) * Select "Merge Accounts" * Select "Merge with Google" I think that makes all contacts become Google contacts. If you only want certain ones in Google, i think you have to try the export/import idea.

    Newbie - I've searched everywhere for an answer.....

    Note that i don't think that phone exists. There is a "Samsung Galaxy S Epic 4G" which this forum is about. And, there is a "Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch" which is in a different forum on this site. I have the first generation Galaxy S Epic 4G and, while GPS is sometimes spotty, it...

    Camera shutter sound and embedded GPS location

    On the Epic 4G, I believe Sprint/Samsung let us have options to make the camera shutter sound silent and turn off embedded GPS location in pictures in the original camera software. But, took both options away in one update, and then gave them back later. (At least, they're back in my custom...

    Google updates broke Samsung Desktop?

    You might need to install "Desk Home Samsung Epic GB" instead. I believe it is in the Gingerbread version. (Description says to remove the Froyo version of Desk Home before installing this one.)

    TuneIn Radio Auto-loading?

    I'm running Legendary ROM 2.2 and when I dock, I'm getting a pop-up asking for whether I want to complete the action with either Clock or TuneIn Radio Pro. Perhaps TuneIn figured out how to flag the app as a dock application. If TuneIn is the only app flagged as a dock app when you dock, it...

    Gingerbread cant be far away

    I don't understand why you think that necessarily follows. step 1 - Google releases Gingerbread step 2 - Samsung adds their customizations to Gingerbread customized for hardware X step 3 - Sprint adds their bloatware and goes through internal testing for Sprint X step 4 - Sprint pushes out...

    Selecting text with anchors on the Epic?

    On the Epic, you can copy text from the stock web browser by holding SHIFT down on the keyboard and dragging on screen. I haven't seen that work in any other applications, so it seems to be specific to the web browser. I'm not sure if that's close to what you mean.

    Easiest way to copy and paste (in browser)

    In the stock texting app, I just press-hold and an option popped up to paste. Paste worked fine. Good hint on the shift-drag.

    Lookout Mobile Security and battery drain?

    I haven't noticed a drain, but I'm not allowing it to "Use Wireless Networks" to locate. At least, not yet.

    Sprint Epic 4G: Pros VS Cons, should i wait?

    I understand you can remove bloatware if you root, but it doesn't really matter to me. The bloatware doesn't run, so it only hurts by making me look through a few extra apps when I want to see the full list. If you mean the 4 capacitive buttons at the very bottom by 'app bar', I believe that...

    Sprint Forum....READ THIS

    I changed it after dialing ##3282# on the phone and selecting Multimedia. Old value was rtsp.vog.sprintpcs.com port 554. I agree, no change to 3G upload speed.

    Looking for a good app for storing passwords and account numbers

    I really liked Secret! back on my Palm and WinMo devices and wanted to like it on my Epic. But, I couldn't get past trusting a single app to both secure my information and talk to any site on the Internet. (I know, in theory, that makes it easier to back up and share information between phone...
