Epix Goods and Bads
I've had my Epix for a day now, and generally, I like the device. The finger mouse is pretty cool, the screen is crisp. I don't think that the device is too fat (maybe 1/16" fatter than a BJ1), and it fits my BJ1 holster case, which is a plus.
HOWEVER, there are 3 things that at the moment are driving me crazy. Any thoughts on these are greatly appreciated.
1) I can't find a way to turn off 3G. 3G sucks battery, I don't need it all the time. On my BJ1 I did the BandSel hack and that worked fine. The Epix appears to not have BandSel anywhere on the device. Help!!!
2) How do you next/prev when reading email messages? If I'm reading a message, how the heck do I get to the next or previous message without going back to the message list first?
3) When I'm active syncing, I can see no reason whatsoever for the screen to be on. However, it is. I've got the "backlight while on external power" timer set to one minute. No joy. I did have it turn off once, but it turned back on shortly after that. And, no, I don't have a password set (already saw those notes...)
Thanks for any thoughts, pointers, copies of BandSel for the Epix ;), etc.

The power stuff is driving me nuts. The screen just will not shut off. I've set all the backlight settings way down but the LCD and backlight never shut off unless I tap the powerkey.
If I go into setting and set it to "Turn off if not used for" on and set a time it will turn off but that seems to completely turn off the phone so i don't get calls/text/ emails any longer.

I tried creating a admin.link (20#"\Windows\Admin.exe") notepad file on my PC and then pasting it to my phone and in the \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ but I keep getting a error that it can't read it because it wasn'y created on my phone... Any ideas how to get it on there?

What I did was map the email button and the camera button at the bottom/right of the keyboard to be scroll left and scroll right keys. Go to Settings > Personal tab > Buttons. Then remap those keys or others that you prefer.
When you are reading an email, scroll right takes you to the next mail and scroll left takes you to the previous.

brwnbarbie,
I do not remember exactly how I deleted all my duplicates but you can indicate which duplicates you want to delete in your contact. Before you continue with your Epix, I suggest that you read the SLOG DUMP thread, I have had three of these phones and before you get comfortable you might want to reconsider even though the Epix in my opinion better than the HTC Fuze and the BB Bold ude to windows mobile.
