Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch - User Reviews

  • You can't use it on a GSM network. This phone is CDMA/EVDO only. More specifically, Sprint only.

  • This phone is a awesome phone but its only problem is bloatware.

  • systm

  • I have the same issue like you. Did you fix it?

  • please sir i want to know if this phone cdma can work in Nigeria actually i have one

  • As the previous user said, this is a CDMA phone. It doesn't have a slot for a SIM card. I own this phone running on Ting mobile. Great service without paying too much.

  • No. This is the Sprint model and does not have a slot for SIM card. No GSM.

  • Can dis fone accept a nigerian sim ?? And also we have a constant 3g reception here so am I good to buy it ?

  • This phone is what it's called. EPIC. I bought it for only $149 on sale at RadioShack. I have Virgin Mobile, no contract, pay $50 a month for the unlimited data, text & web Sprint Network (via Virgin Mobile), including insurance for if my phone breaks OR IS LOST!!!! THIS PHONE IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

  • Yes, connect it to Samsung kies on your pc and click upgrade firmware to get 4.1.2. If you don't know how to do that, go to best buy and there is a Samsung department that will do it for you. It's well worth it because ics sucks in comparison to jellybean on the s2. You will live this phone do much more once you upgrade. Good luck!

  • Prior to this phone I had the galaxy rush (m830). I received as a gift the galaxy Epic� 4g touch. I want satisfied and I couldn't figure out why. I considered maybe because I went from jelly bean tip ice cream sandwich but I want sure it would make that big of a difference. So I hooked it up to kies and upgraded the firmware to 4.1.2 jelly bean. Now I absolutely love this phone. Ihavemessed with the s3 but I like this better. One big problem was the battery burns down like a firecracker wick. Today I received in the mail and extended battery. More I have the perfect phone. I don't see any reason to upgrade in the near future. For those of you who don't know how to use kies youcanupgrade to jelly bean by going to best buy and hoping to the Samsung department. This may be the best phone icI've used. There is one major problem. There isn't any 4g towers in my area I guess. But maybe I'm doing some thing wrong. Because it shows the 4g with the flashing arrows and I get all bars but it doesn't work. I'm not familiar with 4g can someone explain? I have wimax. A couple of recommendations for this phone. Use nova launcher prime Download TubeMate from tubemate.net Use Maxthon browser Use SanDisk memory zone to help manage your data and cloud services Use mx player pro for your videos. It plays everything. One question: Does anyone know if there is cables that can attach from this phone to a tv (rca cables) and watch movies from my phone? Any advice greatly appreciated

  • you must change your rom

  • it works if your provider supports CDMA.

  • No won't work in the Philippines as network modem is setup for CDMA and not GSM (and not like the LG Optimus LTE LU6200 which also has CDMA modem but could connect to Smart n Globe asit has Sims card slot) . The S2 Epic does not have a SIM slot The 4G is WiMax at 2.5Ghz (Sprint/Clearwire) so also likely wouldn't operate in any wimax there. Hope this helps.

  • why my get switch off whenever i turn on my bluetooth connection and this is happening from last 6 days...?i like my phone too much but problem is my phone is getting off whenever turn on the bluetooth...?

  • does it work in the philippines??

  • Does it work in the U.K

  • Super

  • where is this mobile?

  • Could u upgrade this to jellybean android version or not??

  • This phone has the official Jelly bean 4.2.2 update. Its not just gingerbread anymore. Cyanogenmod roms work gr8 on this phone too!!!

  • i need this mobile plz send any distributor address

  • Samsung s2. I just got it and its a great phone my uncle has the s3 mini. The s2 has a bigger screen and it comes in white the s3 mini is like a gray till and only 4 inch screen. I like big screens my white s2 is 4.5 screen. I love it.

  • is rim cdma sim work in galaxy sII plz reply fast

  • would like to know how to do three-way conference with this samsung galaxy s ii epic 4g

  • Would like to know if can do three-way conference with Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G !!

  • May I know please if I can do Third Party conference with this handset ??

  • obviously s2

  • I just have a question about this phone. How do I get my camera to take pictures? Every time i click on the camera icon i get a black screen and to different message. "warning camera has failed" and "unforunite camera has stopped". I know the camera works because i can do video chat on Tango. someone please help me!!!

  • Of course you should get the gs3 it is the successor it's specs are much better and it improves in every way

  • should I get this phone or galaxy s3??

  • First of all where do u live because sprint is just now updating our 3g towers to 4g towers in lewis county Washington aka BFE and when I do have 4g in Tacoma Seattle area it runs faster than my computer at home since I got jelly bean this phone is 10x better than when I bought it for 50$ from radioshack last September well worth the money I know iPhone users and DROID dna owners that envy the fact that I have the same OS as them and basically the same specs all around. My sprint coverage is flawless unless I'm in the absolute middle of nowhere and nobody else has signal. What I'm basically saying is the epic 4g touch is a masterpiece it even does things it's bigger counterpart the s3 can do.

  • Ummmm, not sure why all the negativity. I switched from the I phone 4s and this phone is way better. Very different and yes, better. I'll give it a 9.5 of 10.

  • the negative commenters. are maybe the employers of apple they will do everthing to crash their opponents. sorry im not like the others.

  • Not an horrible phone. Great camera. Usually poor signal. No 4G (in spit of it's name). It advertises "4G over wimax" which is not really 4G, just glorified Wifi, only works in certain cities - no 4g wimax at all in some states (like Indiana). I got mine through Sprint - bad, bad, bad service, and very expensive. Apparently you can't switch this phone to a GSM carrier. The size is nice. Battery life barely lasts 1 day. Lots of apps crash regularly.

  • my keeps rebooting one in a while and it gets very hot too it that a problem

  • hi guys, for me... better samsung galaxy s II

  • Which is better, samsung s3 mini or samsung s2?

  • Which is better, samsung s3 mini or samsung s2?

  • Great s2 nothing bad to say about this beast if u got it still u need to want til the quad core on s line comeout usa version cdma/gsm come like the note2. Got

  • the specs are just wonderful, i was saying my my palm pre is better but the specs on sumusang S2 is more than many of them here wonderful... thanks to Samsung

  • With regard to cost I'm well under 3/4 of the way through my first two-year contract with my current carrier,and they are offering an upgrade to this phone for only $99. My current LG phone has been decent but the specs on this Samsung blow it out of the water. I might have to take the carrier up on this.

  • In response to Masif about al galaxyl s S 2's be in the same.... There are about 20 different versions of the Samsung S galaxy s2!!!! and they all have different specs different screen size different resolutions dual core single core.....etc etc so if you're thinking about buying 1 have a look and compare the different versions of it ...some are specific to the carrier... mine is the Epic but it took me about an hour going through all the phones to find out exactly which model it was!! LOL So have a look around and decide which 1 you think is the best personally I like the epic!

  • In reply to apply to the cost of the galaxy s2 epic..... it really depends on where you go It depends what's carrier you're with if you're with T Mobile or AT&T you might be able to upgrade your phone free... I switched over from T Mobile to another carrier and had to purchase this phone and it was 500 dollars... on discount but like I said you can buy them on Amazon or are getting an upgrade for a penny or whatever... take a look around and see what you can find.... are not that expensive anymore...especially with carrier upgrades and the s3 being out now... in my opinion well worth every penny spent!!!!

  • I just got the Samsung Galaxy s2 epic and what so dumb about it?? so far it's been a great phone fantastic large screen I got the 4.52 inch... loving that by itself!! Takes excellent pictures of the eight camera! But I am serious , what's dumb about it because I do have a 30 day guarantee on it and I can trade it in for different phone if I want to...so far LOVING IT!!!

  • Hi I think ur phone is CDMA not gsm it will work in India Put reliance CDMA Sim activate internet And then go to setting mobile network Access point Name. Netconnect APN. #777 Username. Ur mobile no Password. Or mobile no and save

  • the gsm version of this phone is samsung galaxy s2 i9100

  • Had this phone for a couple months, absolutely love it!

  • Hey man I got it on Amazonwireless.com for sprint for a penny

  • Go troll somewhere else. Samsung has been making some nice phones and you cant argue that at the very least is the leader with screens. However I will say the S3 isnt worth my money compared to the S2. I just wish i had the ATT or world version instead of my dumb Epic touch. I'll wait for the S4

  • yeah yo are right i have a one x and it is far better than s3

  • Kumar..From which online shop did you buy it and for how much? reply asap bro.

  • Oh please shut up......the Gs3 is nothing but ugly crappy looking plastic sh*t......and it runs the peace of sht* touchwiz Ui.....Samsung phones always look disgusting...The One x looks a lot better and does not feel like a 50 dollar phone .....you Need to get you facts straight......And the ugly Gs3 is the most fragilephone out there even more than the iPhone ....and the s 2 is the same crap

  • hello sir, i too brought this from online..it has a option to activate in cdma network..mine is working awesomely.. may i know where r u from..if ur from india ..u try at reliance they will do it..in a day

  • dont ever go for nokia.... Buy galaxy s2... The best android phone till nw.....

  • I have to decide between a Nokia Lumia 800 and a Samsung Galaxy S11 can anyone help

  • Some do not have sim card and will have to be activated online. i have a CDMA sprint which I activated and works well. Talk to your Communication Provider

  • I just got this phone last week and it is just plain AMAZING! Still trying to get used to the swipe keyboard but without even reading the manual I figured out how to do just about everything on it, and this is my first android phone. It makes my old Blackberry Curve seem like a dinosaur. Battery life is 'okay', but to extend it further, I turn off WiFi, GPS, and 4G when I don't need them.

  • dear,... I can't play youtube at my epic touch.... any solution for this?.... thx

  • Does it have sim card slot? I have a friend who is selling her Samsung S2 because it doesn't have a sim card slot..the phone was only given to her by her Korean friend..

  • very nice

  • exclent

  • This phone is plain fantastic. I had an epic 4g before this, and I was looking to upgrade. I was reading a review here and there, but basically hadn't done much searching. I had seen the phone, but once I got it and actually started using it, MAN! I am blown away! I've had the HTC Touch, the HTC Evo, The Samsung Epic 4g, and now the Touch and WOWEE! Man, the screen is just flippin fantastic, and surprisingly the battery isnt bad (much better than its predecessor, the Epic 4g) I usually use it moderatly (emails throughout day, facebook some during the day, pictures here and ther, about 1 hour or more of call time, and plenty of texting) and I find as long as I charge it about 8pm (on my way home from work) that i never dip below 10%. I did turn sync on manual and dont run around with bluetooth or gps on, but honestly...what really got me was just how smooth this phone was. No lag in sight, it's fantastic. I am not a huge fan of touchwiz, but I will say TW4 is much better than earlier editions, and the motion actions (zoom and move screen) are a nice touch, I think samsung has hit a real home run with this one. (also 16gb of int storage is nice, with a 16gb sd card, heck, that's all i need. ) ... I will say though, the speaker can get to a point of loudness where the sound quality really suffers (the speaker-phone) but it's minor so I'd still give it a 9/10 overall. Also, the white version of this is B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!

  • Well, I've been using an EVO for about two years, and is is time to upgrade, but this is the same exact resolution, so... why upgrade to this. Otherwise, I'm pretty impressed with the specs. Sprint really doesn't have an impressive selection of phones that could be considered an upgrade from the EVO.

  • wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow

  • Wow, this phone has been great for me and mine never overheats! It's fast and all my apps run smoothly. The camera is darn good, too, and the camera apps make its camera even better! Get the Sprint version - IMHO, it's the nicest looking of the 3 carriers versions, and with Sprint I good service, no dropped calls and easy customer service. I just love my Samsung Galaxy SII Epic 4G Touch d710!!

  • this phone is the best phone have ever seen its amazing i wish every one could have one!!!!!!!!!!!

  • What isthat faint red light next to camera

  • I hated the epic.....it overheats and gets slow after like a week...the battery life is ok...the gorilla glass it is supposed to have sucks. I would not waste my money on this phone again...they should remove it from the market, its terrible.

  • yes we can make video call by skype

  • this phone makes videocalls??

  • Is this phone will work in philippines? when can this phone upgrade to android 4.0.1?

  • you'll love it, no question!...i already have one!...much flexible and high reliability!

  • I love this phone! I can't even think of any cons. buy it you won't be disappointed

  • just nice phone ??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • nice phone

  • nah here we have GSM GPRS 2G 3G H H+ H+ is super fast and is only with tmobile and the link speed is 45mbs sooo its just like using wifi the price is about 450 pound duno in america but it is well better then any other phone hands down

  • whats the price of galaxy s 2?

  • Its rorbish the batery is so anoing. It dosnt last up to 5hours wth heavey usage. This is too bad for samsong

  • Do you have any CDMA networks in Europe? I thought it was only GSM there...

  • nice phone

  • hey guys for any stuff of android plz visit my blog here in this blog you will get all the android applications,games and lots of stuff for free...

  • I noticed this phone is sold only in America, would it work in Europe?

  • will there be a uk release? or a gsm version to be announce? please can someone enlighten me as i really would like to buy this device. from uk.

  • "It is the fault of Sprint, AT&T and T-Mobile who insisted on having their own specific versions with different hardware, carrier logos and carrier apps (and then the carrier testing to make sure all the changes they demanded work correctly on their networks)."

  • No, you can't. It doesn't support GSM networks and as I know all mobile operators are GSM in Georgia

  • the most monsterous phone name i have ever seen before.

  • umm, can i unlock this phone... i'm living out of america.. :)) in georgia..

  • 11

  • Anyone notice that this phone is no longer available on preorder from Sprint? Anyone know whats up with that?

  • How is 30fps better than 24fps? Feature films are shot on 24fps.

  • Samsung Galaxy 11 is better than the HTC Sensation but is it bettern than HTC EVO 3D

  • Am torn between HTC sensation, Galaxy SII and the blackberry bold 9930 any help out there?

  • The Samsung Galaxy S ll will be much better, it has specs that are a full year newer. For example, it's camera catches at 1080p@30 FPS while LG Optimus 2X only catches at 1080p@24 FPS.

  • Can anyone tell me what's better? is it samsung s II or LG optimus 2x is better? then why so?

  • A factory rest will solve the problem, if it fails better give your phone to Samsung service center.

  • This phone restarts frequently.can any one help me out?

  • Hey dude, those 2 things you mentioned are same. Orion is the other name of Exynos. And Cortex is the architectur of the System on Chip (SoC) of this phone.

  • Why every other version of this phone, including US and EU release, has a Cortex Processor and Exynos chipset, but sprint has an Exynos processor and an Orion chipset? WHY, why can't it just be like all the others.

  • yes, this phone works in US only and exclusively for sprint.

  • This phone has the exynos processor and orion chipset, while the other ones have exynos chipsets and different processors. I have heard good things about exynos, and frankly, wish this was 100% exynos... I would have paid the higher price tag, but now I dont know... I may hold out on getting a new phone until next year. I hear with contract this phone is $200 from sprint, but honestly I just want the european one

  • @alone ali: find hacked skype in xdadev, and your phone must runs gingerbread. btw, galaxy ace doesn't have front camera right??

  • haha....nice joke.....it has written RUMORED but u will get it on next wednesday....haha very funny :)

  • That is 30k here in Phil. so it would be more or less US $715

  • can you tell me any one how can i instal skyp in Samsung Galaxy Ace ???? i am waiting ans..

  • It is a real pity. I am a sprint subscriber but this phone can not be used in Europe. I guess I need to go to T-mobile or ATT

  • phone getting heat

  • wat is price?

  • damn that phone ... it stressed me out.. a subscriber was dying to have that and i cant provide him the information that he needs..

  • Its the CDMA version. works in the States only(Verizon).
