Touch Wizv3
 

i just went to sprint waited in a line with a total of 5 people.. and received my samsung epic which was in all a pretty painless procedure compared to the mayhem which was the evo on its release day

so let me get straight to the point.. how do you feel about the touch wiz ui? i am definitely a iphone hater.. and touch wiz reminds me of the iphone ui in almost every way.. but i find myself strangely falling in love with it..

i even enjoy it more then htc evo's ui am i sick? or does anyone else feel this way

I miss the senseui screen with the weather/big clock.

Re: Touch Wizv3
 

and if you load any widgets it's not the same.
it's like having a desk that you put a clock on and it doesn't quite fit.
where as the senseui is like having a desk with a clock build right into it.

Re: Touch Wizv3
 

liked it.. but switched to launcher pro and havent looked back

Re: Touch Wizv3
 

No. I was pretty impressed with touch wiz 3 after using it for the first time. All I knew about it was all the negative comments about it from past phones. It lacks a few things that I want it to do so I still went with Launcher Pro.

Re: Touch Wizv3
 

if you want the big clock like sense ui you could use beautiful widgets

and i also switched to launcher pro right away.. but when you go into contacts and text messages.. you can still see the touch wiz ui at work and it pleases me for some strange reason

Im really enjoying touchwiz since yesterday... i was expecting not to like it, but after you get used to it, and with some simple customizing its pretty slick... i love the shortcuts and with some minor tweak... 3rd part widgets and and suck like a 3rd party sms app... its freakin sweet... have switch to launcher pro, i will, once i get bored or something, but im enjoying this for now... maybe I just like to be different from everyone... but hey it works for me and i see no reason to go rushing for something else just yet... probably same reason i havent rooted yet... theres planty of time... ill get to it eventually... this way ill always have stuff to enjoy...lol

Re: Touch Wizv3
 

I'm really enjoying it too. I didn't think I would after being spoiled by Sense, but the widgets are enough for me. Maybe I'm not seeing what the difference or big deal is between a Widget clock/weather and the Sense one... I think being able to customize it and place it where I want beats the heck out of one "built into the desk."

Re: Touch Wizv3
 

This.

I really missed the HTC Clock/Weather widget too, but then I dropped $2 on "Beautiful Widgets" and the customization features alone are worth the $2 over HTC's Widget. Add to it all the free Clock and Weather Skins and I actually dislike using the HTC Clock now.

Re: Touch Wizv3
 

My only complaint is the Epic has a handicapped version of the Touch Wiz all the other Galaxy S phones have more customizable features on theirs... Like they can drag differnt apps to their launchers and the program view is alot more sortable.

Re: Touch Wizv3
 

This is a great point. It makes no sense that we can't do that and hopefully it will be returned to our SW with Froyo.

Samsung/Sprint - don't assume you know what I want to have there...

Re: Touch Wizv3
 

My hope too... It said to be due by the end of the month...

Re: Touch Wizv3
 

After a little research over at XDA - it turns out that the Epic doesn't have that feature (and a few other features, mostly widgets) because the TouchWiz on the Epic is 2.5, and not 3.0.

Samsung/Sprint were having trouble with the landscape versions of some TW3 features so they didn't go with 3.0 on the Epic. I don't know what that means going forward, but maybe since they were so far behind on the release of the Epic, that they scrapped 3.0 on Android 2.1 for the Epic and went straight to Froyo.

I'll also speculate that we'll see Froyo on the other Galaxy S variants before we see it on the Epic, but I have ABSOLUTELY no evidence to back that up. Just a hunch.

Re: Touch Wizv3
 

I'm not waiting for Samsung to put out the "official" update to Froyo. Come on people, lets get in the kitchen and get to cooking up a stable 2.2 ROM for this bad boy.

That's heart breaking to hear.. hope we get 2.2 sooner then later and mayb a little touchwiz v3 suprise
