Samsung Epix Forums

I've had my Epix for a little over a week now and and about 3 times I've had problems waking up the phone.  I had to take to battery out to get it going again.  Any ideas or solutions?

Thanks.

I had this problem as well when I first got the Epix, however after a while it just went away by itself.  It's only happened to me maybe once or twice in the last few months. (Still annoying, but much better than before.)

no solutions?

Welcome to the lovely world of the Samsung Epix. I have had mine for about 8 months, and the “phantom turn-off” feature has been prevelent the entire time I've owned it. I also see similar behavior when it's on the charger. A little more than once a week I'll take my Epix off the charger in the morning, the red light in the upper right of the phone will be solid red, and the phone won't turn on. The only fix is battery removal/re-insertion. This phone has promise, but the buggy hassles like this “phantom turn-off” and at least a dozen other major annoyances I won't bother listing here make me regret buying this phone.

I thought Samsung was supposed to release some sort of “major patch” maintenance release recently. Did that ever happen? When can we expect a hacked ROM of Windows Mobile 6.5? That also will possibly fix some of these issues, which would be ah-nice.

Correct, no resolution/solution. After 8 frustrating months with my Epix I can tell you that there are major annoyances you apparently have to live with because Samsung (as well as all other interested parties) have no interest in fixing the issues.

just curious if anyone who has done the FOTA or ID1 update is having this problem? maybe that update fixed it even though it's not listed???
