Better gpu and higher clocked CPU...

Laughing at the people who jumped ship to Verizon. Hows that 2gb cap workin for ya and your inferior phone? I told y'all to wait.

The 544 GPU has the capability of clocking up to 2.5 times faster than the 540. If this is true, then I'll be excited. But... I'm not switching to an lte device until lte hits my area.

I think this is the same gpu in the Apple products, which pretty much destroy everything we have. I welcome this and I'd jump ship so fast!

When a phone is faster than me I only see a bottle neck and a waste of CPU.

Haha amen brother
E4GT=IPhone killer

Does anyone remember the Nexus ads for Sprint that said 1.5 ghz and we thought it was a typo? I know it is just alot of speculation. But, since we probably won't see the phone launch until June it could make sense. The article said the processor is capable of 1.8 but would probably be underclocked. Maybe we are seeing an early build for the Sprint version. Anyone else think that makes sense?
Here is a link to the Sprint ad.
http://www.anandtech.com/show/5303/sprint-ad-announces-galaxy-nexus-with-15-ghz-soc
And here is link to the wiki for the Nexus that shows it its currently running 1.2
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galaxy_Nexus
The other possibility is this its the google tablet we keep hearing about. It would make sense for it to have a huge graphics processor.

Until they replace the awful screen of the original GNex, I'll way. The 'mesh' look is too distracting to look at.

Since nobody had mentioned it, it seems like it isn't important, the camera. Compared to the e4gt, its camera is lesser. Slightly bigger screen and higher resolution but reported its like looking through a screen door. A 5mp camera that chokes on 1080p. No option for a sd card. You will be stuck on 3g until lte finally makes it to your area. Okay so it has a slightly better and faster gpu and cpu, IMO, that's one of the few things it has in its favor. Ics, more meh. You'll need more CPU/GPU for that.
For the comment of having a CPU that's faster than you, that means nothing about your computer, right?

Yea just like the 5mp camera on og epic was better than of evo ... it was but guess what everyone thinks 8mp is better but it comes to sensor and such .... it still is a phone not a dslr the camera will never be that good

Yes I have noticed this also and 50k is the magic number I am getting from adownloader as well when two weeks ago it had been a stead 10-12mb down for months. I had a feeling after seeing my GB usage over the last several months a cap would drop. It is weird though since when I test in 4G with speed net that my download is at 12mb. I'll be putting my netflix in full effect soon to test that out to see if there is a reduction in quality because I'm curious how they can ascertain the difference in my usage.

I've seen this with adownloader as well. I flashed FC15 modem and it solved this issue as well as other data related things. I'm on Calks FC24 rom.

You can't forward ports on sprint unless you run through a VPN (meaning your not connectable)...even then, it is still possible to determine your torrenting due to the fact that sprint blocks all DNS requests that aren't through them, so sprint sees the DNS request for tracker.isohunt.com or whatever crappy public tracker your using and are essentially tied to your account and therefore your name.
This is not to mention that the BitTorrent protocol itself is not very secure, and even with RC4 encryption it's still ridiculously easy to see that your torrenting and not watching Netflix via DPS (deep packet inspection), using the default port, etc...
The only way to use a DNS server that is not sprints is with openVPN (which will destroy your battery life) as they DNS hijack, or forward all port 53 traffic to their DNS servers (iptables? Ngnix?).
if your gonna go that length to torrent on-the-go you mine as well just set up a subsonic server for yourself and do the torrenting at home.
Seriously...Does nobody bother to research stuff like this before you do something that can get you in hot water in the first place?

I really hope your service gets shut off... Good luck finding another provider that wont charge you for the amount of data you are using.

I noticed this as well. A couple days ago is when i started getting 50 on GingerBread. I haven't tried again since flashing an ics rom with fc24 modem but the internet feels back up to full speed.
The problem is sprint has no way of or doesn't care to determine legal torrents from illegal torrents. They just see torrent traffic and throttle.
Back when I was on GB my speedtest still showed full speed but other things were effected too. I tried one or two direct downloads and got exactly 50 as well.

This is not a Sprint thing. I have a family member who has clearwire for their broadband at home and on the go and they mentioned to me last weekend that they cannot download torrents anymore because the speed is to low. They called and talked to clearwire about having speed issues and clearwire told him they have no idea what he is talking about.
So it looks like clear is shutting it down not Sprint. But try it on 3G and see what speed you get. If your pulling decent 3G and it is locked to 50k then I suspect that it may be both companies in tandem.

I was d/l at 1mb/s on atorrent yesterday. FC24 modem
Be careful, they WILL shut your service off without warning. I use wifi 80% of the time, but just happened to be on wimax yesterday.

It doesn't matter about the legal or illegal torrents.....it's breaking sprints tos ....the tos that everyone signed says no downloading of files...so technically when we download roms from xda we are breaking tos and subject to throttle or termination etc .

I call BS on that because it would also mean we are breaking the TOS by downloading an app from the market or any appstore.

how can you play when sprints PING is like 200-350 ms?? its just horrible lag.

On 4G my ping in 60-90 with 8-14 mbit down and 1.5 up... If I was on my phone I would upload a few screen shots... I would get rid of it if it's just you using it... I have family at home so they use uverse... Fyi the most I've downloaded on 4g in a month is 240 gigs... Lots of 1080p bluray mkv's
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using Tapatalk 2

to me if you tether a phone that often you will eventually see some problems from the hardware or the battery, even. do you not get interference when you receive a text or call? i know they run on a different spectrum but in my experience i've had a lot of interference when receiving a call.
again though, my main concern would be hardware damage.

That, or having your service terminated by sprint too. Sprints 4g isn't consistent enough to play any real time games with other people. You may think your fine... but people will curse you as you lag kill.

Is there a 4G tower in your back yard? That's ridiculously good!

Last cycle I used my phone yo download and stream about 80 gigs of data unteathered and sprint called me and said I was in violation of the ToS so im getting wifi to use instead. But its just a tad annoying for a company to sell unlimited data and then limit the ammount you can use and still not be able to tell you how much is to much.

This gets "discussed" about every month, usually turns nasty and trollish. And I might even agree with you, to a point.
What it comes down to is the ToS does NOT allow for unlimited data via tethering.
And yes, if they GAF, they could very easily tell what device is consuming that data.

Wifi download speed reduction on CM9

My wifi download speed seems to have reduced drastically after flashing CM9 (which I love so far). On previous roms such as clean GB and sleeper ROM my download speed at home would range between 8 and 14 Mbps. Now I'm getting speeds between 3 and 4 down. Often my upload speed is the same or higher. My wired connection on my desktop is regularly in the high 20's for reference. Anyone have any insight on why this may be? Maybe the devs of the previous roms had some tweaks? It's hardly a big problem, but it is nice to have a fast connection for large downloads.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

I have similar issues. I think that it is due to the fact that we are using crespo/herring wifi drivers on CM9. I will look into the differences of the Victory and Crespo drivers and attempt to find why it is slower.

I am on AOKP 5.2 (same drivers right??), nyan colonel 4.2 with no additional tweaks, about 100 ft from my router and 15 down 3 up connection. My speeds are typically higher than this but the wife is downloading stuff on my network. Just posting as reference. I have noticed more consistent speeds since coming to ICS variations.

Having played with a galaxy s3 in the mall, I'd say go with that. Read that section in the forum to see what issues there are. After going from a 4s to the e4gt, I miss the 4s camera and the better quality sounding audio output. I've had this one for nine months now and the screen burn in is getting on my nerves. Going to pen tile displays was samsung's choice for screen lasting longer and less apt to burning. I didn't notice a screen door effect on the s3 either. Even though the cameras are virtually the same, I can see how having a faster focus helps in certain situations with the s3. Its low light is noisy though like lots have mentioned.
