Sprint TEP app doesn't support Epic. Post your rant here>
 

So PPCG reported on the new Total Equipment Protection app and I'm thinking this is a good thing. So then I go check it out at Sprint.com/Protection just to find out that the app isn't supported on the Epic. Really?

Can somebody explain to me why Sprint continues to diss the Epic? IT’S THE BEST PHONE THEY SELL, is it too much to ask for a little support?
Oh, and I just noticed that the locate function works through text. Awesome, since I will most likely not be receiving texts while my phone is lost. A company run by idiots, for real.

Subscriptions are up for the first time in years, so why not just piss off all your customers so they run off after their 2yr contracts are up.

Gee whiz. What the heck makes you think Sprint doesn't provide TEP for the Epic?? (They certainly do).

Perhaps you're confusing that goofy TEP app with TEP itself? Not sure why the Epic isn't listed as supported for the APP, but you can definitely get the TEP service via your Sprint account.

He is talking about the app, not TEP itself.

Re: Sprint TEP app doesn't support Epic. Post your rant here>
 

Yeah I definitely meant the app. Gonna clarify my OP, sorry for the confusion. I'm using lookout now...

Re: Sprint TEP app doesn't support Epic. Post your rant here>
 

The app now supports the Epic. You can use all the functions from the web interface. It seems pretty functional. have not tried the wipe, but locate and backup work.

Not working on my Epic. Probably a ROM thing all along. I'm on Midnight 3.3

I uninstalled, cleared data, all that good stuff, no go.

Re: Sprint TEP app doesn't support Epic. Post your rant here>
 

So you tried going to to link on your phone or copying the .apk?
I installed it on mine today on rooted stock with no issues, so must be a rom issue.

Try this method?

I'm thinking it's a ROM issue. Check out this screenshot of the "Supported Devices" page. It says Epic, but only 2.1, and last but not least, this picture ISN'T EVEN AN EPIC.

Crying out loud. The Epic4G is the Rodney Dangerfield of smartphones!

Re: Sprint TEP app doesn't support Epic. Post your rant here>
 

yea im on stock froyo rooted and I doubt this app plays nice with 2.2. Someone with 2.1 stock im sure it will work for.

Re: Sprint TEP app doesn't support Epic. Post your rant here>
 

Stock 2.2, rooted also, it works. Can't post screenshot from work, but it shows my phone in my building(viewing from IE) and made the alarm sound and backed up my contacts. Won't try a wipe until i have a backup and am not at work.

mines ext4 idk if that would make a difference.

Re: Sprint TEP app doesn't support Epic. Post your rant here>
 

Ah...ok. Fair enough.

You're right that it doesn't appear on the TEP web site (which is not run by Sprint), but I found the app by just going to the Market on the phone, clicking on the "Sprint" section, and there it was.

Re: Sprint TEP app doesn't support Epic. Post your rant here>
 

I dont want this shit on my phone anyways.....logs tmi imho.........:disgust:

One of the sites that reviewed this new app already said that if you have a custom rom on your epic it will not work. I don't remember which site I saw this on, but it will most likely work on the stock rom. My friend has it on his epic and it works fine. I really do love the pic quality on that phone.

Some custom roms are using the i9000 info for the protected apps on the market..if we are using a custom rom with i9000 signature it can cause that..

Re: Sprint TEP app doesn't support Epic. Post your rant here>
 

You are much better off with this app, anyway. TEP app sucks ass.

Re: Sprint TEP app doesn't support Epic. Post your rant here>
 

Ya I'm on it. I can't believe I actually thought Sprint would do something right for a change, no big deal that it doesn't work with my custom MidnightROM, but at least make a good app for the phones it DOES work on!

Re: Sprint TEP app doesn't support Epic. Post your rant here>
 

TEP App is too supported. I used it for a day then uninstalled. (I have plenty of better apps that take care of my phone.)

Re: Sprint TEP app doesn't support Epic. Post your rant here>
 

Yes, it works on stock epic, not my custom rom

Re: Sprint TEP app doesn't support Epic. Post your rant here>
 

Have you tried a rom thats got signatures from the Epic and not i9000?

Re: Sprint TEP app doesn't support Epic. Post your rant here>
 

Hehe a Sprint app is definitely not going to pull me off midnightROM, but you're probably right in thinking that would help.
