cardozclive 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2012 guys i've got a question. i am about to buy an unlocked epic 4g from ebay but before ordering it i have a question. I like to go with custom roms. So i want to know whether flashing a custom rom has anything to do with evdo settings? I mean will i loose my evdo settings if i root and flash a custom rom?

csmart 472 Report post Posted June 8, 2012 NO you will not. However if you are flashing CM9, then you need to add to text files which are already mentioned in this thread. I have used different ROMs and found no problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean if you can hear the songs on the loud speaker then might be its stuck up with some app or some software problem... If you can't hear the music as well then might be your phones ringer is faulty... Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

csmart 472 Report post Posted July 5, 2012 ^^ from my past experience, I will suggest only if you can get it replaced by company engineer then only you order. I had ordered for HTC Touch Pro and the most repairwala could replace it but in the process it damaged my volume rocker button and the alignment was never proper. Most repair shops handle it without any care. they just open it as if it is a box and not some complicated circuit. At the end I was not at all satisfied witht he replacement due to bad handling and phone started giving problem. I had to literally gave it as free. This is my personal experience and opinion. We not have trained professionals to do the stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VinodNayak 6 Report post Posted July 5, 2012 yeah very true, but im sure if one takes it to a samsung show room and upon request and appointment with the engineer from the company ( when one visits the showroom once in 2 months) im sure they can handle it well for a price. but make sure you ask how much it is going to cost you. sometimes it might be more than what you have paid for the part. once you give them the phone and even if you do not want to replace your damaged lcd they might charge you small fee. so be advised before you take a decision.

csmart 472 Report post Posted July 6, 2012 @Bablus I strongly recommend against it. Unless you are aware of circuits and handling of miniature cables. You need to have "surgeon's hand" to do this. Simply going by youtube video, you will feel its easy. but if you are not trained, then handling becomes very difficult. these are delicate parts and need to handle like you handle your new born baby.

I suppose that translates into faulty ringer @p.abhir try playing some music on the phone. are able to hear if you connect your earphones ? Yep...
