My office, is in outskirt of city & hardly any signal bars visible. Is that could be the reason for this discharge ?

Getting hardware checked is not the first option, as purchased from Rimweb member only & as we know there are no warranties on this handset..

Any solution for this problem ?

Try to Flash with latest JB GB27. Change of Baseband may solve the issue :)

Today my Epic 4G fell down the stairs. The screen doesnt show anything, but the keypad lights were on.

I opened the phone and found out that the springs and plastic around it from sliding mechanism broke. Also the flex cable is torn.

Any chance of getting replacement and service done in India?

Or should i look for a new phone? Though it was getting slow at times, i liked the phone :-(

you might get some replacement parts thru forum members, (from their used / non working etc condition device)

other wise importing repair parts will cost you too much.

Official 4.3 is not available for epic.

U have to go custom for same.

Look on XDA many custom Roms are available

I have been struggling with CM11 on my Epic4G D700 for a few months now. 3G connectivity is lost as soon as I move from CM10 to CM11. There hasn't been a stable build for D700 yet, but I am assuming that data connectivity issue can be fixed via Baseband update. My phone shows S:D700.0.5S.FC09 as its current baseband version.

Could someone please confirm if this can be fixed by updating baseband? Also, if there was a tutorial for updating it, that would be great.

My EPIC is non-functional now. It fell and doesnt work anymore. I want to give it away to someone who would be interested in its spare parts. But before i do that, what precautions should i take to clean up the phone of any personal information? The current situation is that the phone doesnt start. When it is plugged into a computer, Removable Storage shows up in Windows Explorer but remains inaccessible.

Is there something I can do to the hardware to clean up the memory?

If it starts in recovery just wipe. I doubt though. Do you want to give away? Lmk. I still love epic.
