epic rant

[RBrown9180]

So, like lots of others here it seems my epic has gone to hell with froyo. My radio is absolutely horrible. Sitting on my couch I get 100-300 down while my wife right next to me with her evo gets 500-700 down. I also have the wifi issue. I would say 2 out 3 times I try to turn on wifi it errors out. Then, when it does finally connect I lose the signal every minute or so. All this while I'm sitting on my couch. And once again my wife's evo doesn't do this. What does sprint say when you complain about these issues? I mean the phone is less than a year old so its still under manufacturer warranty. I would think sprint or Samsung is obligated to do something about this. And please don't tell me to root. I should not have to root to use the basic functionality of my phone.

I would call sprints tec and explain to them whats going on. I did a few weeks ago, they said something about updating there signal to the phone from there end and it worked for me. I was having bad download and upload speeds on both 3g & 4g, but now I'm around where i use to be. I am rooted and can switch modems with odin but the wifi issue is a pain. I have to reboot my phone to have it work. The airplane mode trick doesn't work for me most of the time. good luck


also , do you update your PRL some people say it doesn't do anything some do . It wouldn't hurt to try it out if you haven't yet

Yes I have updated prl. First thing I tried, hoping that would do it.

Sprint told me to change my wireless settings from automatic to sprint only. Said that will definitely fix my issue. I told them I'm skeptical at best that it will work but will give it a try.

What modem are you running? What ROM? Rooted?
I am running ACS Frozen 1.1.0 with EC05. I seem to have decent speeds.
I will follow up later, i just updated to 1.1.1 and EE03 modem. Some people are reporting that EE03 is a lot faster for them modem wise.

They told me the same thing. It didn't help a bit.
