Nice!! F U CIQ!

This is a nice find. Let's see if it prevails to be true

Wonder how much this will free up resources without it running in the background?

Maybe EL stand for End Lawsuit.

No, alphabetical. I suspect they leaked it so they could get a better test base since sprint wants it asap. Curious to see if this helps speed up ota updates. Read another article the other day saying how much testing is done for ciq on devices.

Not to mention what this must be doing to their network... 1/4 of ALL Sprint devices sending data at once... all the time?!?!
Of course, the privacy rights violations are the main issue, but wow... that must have been having some affect on the network.

I've been running EL13 since the leak, battery life does seem a bit better over EG30. Cannot compare to EK02 as I didn't get the OTA or flash it but it is improved over EG30 in my experience.

lol nice QB tossed you a add on G+ since I already follow ya on the tube lol. So nice they actually listened.

I have been running the EL rom for three days now.
My battery drain without using it for one day was 3.25% per hour on EG30 based on an all day no touch(screen on less than 3 min, max cell signal, with WIFI on and attached.
On EL13 my battery drain is now 3.85% per hour with the exact same testing situation.
So it looks like the battery usage has went up.
real world usage on EG30 was... fully charged and taken off charger at 8AM. by noon I would be at 75-80% with about 30+min of screen on using maps, web, and reader. Plug back in at around 11PM and the phone would be setting in the 30's with a total average screen on time of 2 hours.
Now on EL13 today I hit 64% battery at noon with 45 min of screen on using maps, web, reader. I am currently 4:20PM at 42% with a screen time of 1h22m.
To me it looks like the battery is worse, especially in the real world usage tests. I will be doing more testing this weekend and will see how it hold up to total screen on time. On EG30 I could pull 4h30m+ using a mix of apps and 3+ hours playing games. I will be testing those two fully. But right now I'm looking at going back to EG30.

Oh to be in a world without CIQ!

Freaking Asurion...

So last week on Monday morning i cracked my HTC Sensation screen while
getting out from my car as it was on my lap and i completely forgot about it.
I have done this before and not a single scratch, but this time i guess it just
fell at the wrong spot. What ever all good, that's why i have insurance right?
So i go and file a claim with Asurion for them to just tell me that there is no
available Sensation phones and that they can just replace it with the SG2.
Sure why not i said, might as well get a new different phone to play around
with. So they shipped it out on Monday telling me that by Tuesday it should
be there... Nope came on Wednesday.(Most likely Fedex problem...). So like
a little child i'm all excited and start ripping apart the box to get my phone .
I open it up and start looking at all the peaces and realize right off the bat
that their is no freaking battery. How the hell am i supposed to turn this thing
on with no battery. Even tried to just put in the usb charger but it just vibrates.
(probably meaning that there is no freaking battery). So i'm completely pissed
of at this point and am about to start raging. I call up Asurion customer service
to tell them what happened. (One thing is, Asurion got some really nice
customer service people right in america i mean it was just like talking to
a friend and they where really nice and just flat out nice lol. All 6 people that i
called!. VERY GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!) So they tell me that i can go into
my local store and just buy a battery and they will refund me $39.99. So i hang
up and goto the store to find out they are selling that battery for 49.99. So i
call Asurion back again to tell them this and they said they will ONLY be able to
refund me $39.99 and what ever else is upto me. I tell them forget it and ship
me a new battery. The lady tells me that they don't ship battery's by fedex
but by regular mail, and that i wont get my battery until 5-7 days... So i was
kind of pissed and ended up speaking to a super visor and apparently his super
visor and nothing can be done about this. What ever i said just freaking send
it and get this over with. SO figure it like this. They say 5-7 business days for
the package to arrive by regular mail. Regular mail has a 6 day business work
week Monday-Saturday. Today is now Thursday so that would mean that this
was the last day that it should have came on. To my surprise i get home a few
hours ago and there is no freaking battery in the mailbox.... GRRRRR
Back to calling Asurion. Again i tell them the problem and again they tell me that
they will send me another battery by regular mail. Now i wasn't having any of
this. I have 14 days to return my old phone. Now i am on day 8 of this 14 day
return policy. What the hell am i going to do? They told me they can contact
t-mobile and tell them the problem and not to expect the package for 30 days.
I told them NO because i cant even use the damn phone so it doesn't matter.
( I was ling cause i'm using it right now lol). I started screaming at this poor
lady and then just asked for a super visor again. After about 20minutes of being
on hold 4 times, she comes back on the line and says that they have come to
a solution.
The solution:
They are going to send me a package with a new phone WITH BATTERY and
send it via fedex so i can get it tomorrow. They have a very strict policy
on shipping anything other then phones via fedex express.
I just now have to send back 2 phones...
This is what i have been going thru for the past 8 days..
I hope it comes in tomorrow with a battery and i also hope that the battery that
they sent in via regular mail also come sin so that i can now have a spare battery.
So that is my Asurion ordeal for the past week and a half.
Fun times ehh.

Wow! Hope it all comes together for ya from here on out

Yea, thanks a lot. I really hope it comes in tomorrow with everything functioning and intact.

they are sapose to send a new phone in sealed box when replacing your phone with a different phone. Thats weird they would do that either somebody messed up or they have some bull$**T new policies. I don't know seems like T-mobile and what not was real cool when they were about to merge but now they got real greedy.

Yep, same thing Asurion and T-mobile told me. They are both different company's that don't have to much to do with each other other then insurance. When i send back the phone's they get sent to T-mobile and not Asurion. At least that's what Asurion told me. Also i didn't get it in a sealed box. It was sent in some cheap ass regular white box..

If u need a battery real fast you can go to your local Verizon store now and get the Samsung 2100mah Galaxy Nexus Extended battery for 24.99 (currently 50% off 49.99). I just bought mine yesterday and it fits perfectly. Our stock battery is 1850mah. Call before you go because some stores are sold out.

Thanks for the tip. I love my Sensation but the battery life is just HORRIBLE. I mean it was so bad that only making a few phone calls and checking xda for 30minutes tops during work, i'd be at like 15-10% by 5pm after a full work day. Hope the sg2 handles battery life much better.

Sadly, After having had my GSII past the 14 day return window, I'm kinda wanting my Sensation back. The T989's only advantage is the 16GB onboard memory and 256MB more RAM.
Factor in that Sensation has several ICS ROMs and we have none and there are non on the horizon, I'd rather go with the Sensation, even though I had a ton of issues with my 4 that i went through. The T989 just doesn't impress me enough to justify the cost over upgrading from the Sensation. The only thing keeping me from selling the GSII and getting another Sensation is the crap luck i had with them.

You could of just got the galaxy nexus extended battery for 25.99+tax from the Verizon store.

My job just got me a new phone SGSIII! Way better than the on call Blackberry

Came in today to find a SGS3 on my desk woot! I like ICS wish it had Jelly bean, but it's great so far. I gotta get this an xoskin right after work, woot for a company card. I have had a Blackberry Bold for an on call phone and I guess my complaints didnt fall on deaf ears. The thing had issues, I dont even know where they got it. The sticker on the back says property of research in motion limited. It was like some demo blackberry haha. Just waiting for exchange to sync, then I will customize it. What average battery life should I expect? I had like 3 spare batteries on my old evo, as long as I can get 8 hours I should be good.

My work gave me an iPhone 4s

You can get jellybean, there's a couple good stable ROMs. I'm using baked black bean 5 right now and it does well, you can use team venum's jellybean ROM because its touchwiz, although I really don't like touchwiz(thought it was great until I tried normal android without it)oh and jellybean would require root unless you wait for the official update which is supposed to be this month.

I'm on stock unrooted(for now at least) and I can go from 7 am to 10 pm with about 6 or 7 hours of screen on time and still have around 20 percent left.

[Flamebait?] anyone here hate their S III?

So I've had my phone for a month now and I'm really not impressed. Here's why:
*lags . For having 2x the RAM of my old mytouch 4g and a dual core processor this thing constantly freezes and has large amounts of delay when typing (sometimes it takes a sentence to catch up) and Theres usually 450-1.
2 gb of free memory. My mytouch with a ics ROM is just fine(and I use a 7 month old ROM that was one of the orignal ics roms).
* battery. This thing is a complete pig! I can drain through 80% of a charge in under six hours (once under four). I don't watch movies on it. Just texting and facebook.
*reception and data speeds. I don't know whats up with this thing but my old phone and my roommates s II have perfect signal with the exact same tmobile plan. My old phone will do a speedtest at 4002kbps and my roommates will kiss 5500. My S3? 2300 on a good day. Usually 1500kbps. Both of the other phones in the apartment have 4 or 5 bars, I'm lucky to have two. Even if I get up to three or four bars (standing on the roof) calls are always distorted and often times drop. My phone oftentimes will say I have 4g service but refuses to even try to load a webpage or sign into Skype until I restart it.
I have called tmobile several times (and even went in store) and they say its working as intended. I've NEVER had these types of problems on my old phone, and my old one was abused.
Seriously not happy right now. Just got this phone a month ago today and i so regret it. im not paying $90 a month for 1/4 the service i got out of my old phone for $30. I'm past the "buyers remorse" time. Its not really remorse when the **** doesn't work and you refuse to fix it.
I'm looking at canceling my service and eating the $200 etf fee.
Looking at just getting rid of this curse and going back to my old phone and the $30 plan. (or an iphone. I played with my friends and hers is really snappy and.... RELIABLE.
What a crock of ****.
Tl;Dr I hate my phone, and tmobile refuses to make it work right.

Are you guys all on the same carrier in regards to reception ? Did you switch carriers ? Are you using a metal case / bumper ? What plan do you have ?
The S3 lasts about ~4 hours of screen on time - it doesn't matter really if that 4 hours occurs over 6 or 18 hours - and GPS and other app settings can drain the battery incredibly quickly on any phone. I'd check out BetterBatteryStats or the like, see if there's something unusual.
You're not going to personally injure anyone here by getting an iPhone. Replace this one if you want or figure out what's wrong. Do what you want, it's not really a big deal - it's your money and what works for you.

When most users say this phone is fast reliable and gets good speeds means something might be wrong with yours. Try rooting If you haven't. Or odin stock again.

My only real issue with it is with Samsung. The whole mutiple carriers / models damages the moding community and forces us to have unstable roms if we want to use anything custom.
This is one reason I like what Google is doing with the nexus devices which are more pure, one device per multiple carriers and have full access and I am waiting till Samsung gets forced to open up.

I've never had lag... Stock or rooted
Battery lasts me 16 hrs a day (which is pretty good when using 4-5 hrs of screen time). How much more do u need if you sleep 5-8 hrs per night.
And data speeds...
The nexus 4 isn't even better than the galaxy nexus IMO... And its def not as good as the sgs3 which did win phone of the year (if that matters).
If u don't like it, get a new phone. Pretty simple

I gotra say. Coming from a different phone changes your perspective. I had the gnex before this phone for almost a year and this phone in terms of development does not compare at all. Not bashing the phone but there are times when I regret selling that thing to come here. Overall like the stock features but there is some slight lag. Blame Twiz for that.

I like mine. It's a little rough around the edges out of the box, but it can be squared away quite nicely.

Skype does have issues. After it says "signed in" go back to the app icon and open it. Do it a few times and you should get passed the circle spinny thing. Also v3 is horrible. Use 2.9.
I love/hate the phone. There's good and bad.

I actually went from the myTouch4G to the s3 and it was a quantum leap mate.
That wasn't counting until I rooted and flashed my phone with the PacMan ROM.
It works beautifully. I can make the battery get 8 hours of full smashmouth Youtube videos which isn't that bad.
Tips, its most likely the widgets or programs you have loaded. I had to learn how to live through phones like the G1 so I was used to using the kill all apps switch before I turned off my phone.
The s3 doesn't have that problem as much, but if you can remember, it extends battery life to do so. And get JuiceDefender.
It only keeps your network on while your screen is awake.
I love my phone. Just tweak.
It's like getting a Pokemon.
All are the same.
Some have issues.
But in the end, if you feed it enough glitches, you'll beat the League with it.

wow seems like many people here came from the MyTouch 4G huh lol

If something is wrong with his phone, rooting will not fix it. If something is wrong, I'd suggest a hard reset first.

Yup hard reset or exchange phone. Just got this beast and i love it. Barely noticeable lag sometimes, ( in SMS app i have over 25k messages). And battery life is amazing for me even when not in coverage area. Also data speeds are faster than Wi-Fi on cable Internet

I'm curious to how the OP thought the battery life and lag was normal on this new, flagship phone?
After all the videos and testimonials about it on the net, wouldn't it eventually start to nag at the back of your mind that something was likely wrong with your specific phone?
Call T-Mobile and request a new phone.

But I only just got my LGOG

I picked up my OG used on eBay for $160 a month ago. I had minimal expectations. I shattered my GS3 and with no warranty and a full year of contract left before my upgrade I needed something affordable and still high-end-ish. I settled on this mostly because of it's quad processor and 13 mp camera [a camera which I to this day had maybe 20 minutes of actual fully functional use of] I was crazy apprehensive of going to a phone with no removal battery or sd slot. These were some of the things I loved the most and lorded them over my iPhone touting friends. But here I was. Me! Knowing my download limitations waaaay in advance. Me! Unable to just pull the cover off and tap the battery out to fix sudden crashes. It was madness at it's finest.
Then suddenly I started to grow to love this thing. The thin, light-weight body. The bright screen. The native (non-Samsung) Android menu key positions. The modest xda community. Something about having a device that next to no one knows about is refreshing.
This device makes me feel like I have some non-amazing super powers just waiting to bust out.
Now if only I could get some damned 4G around here....

Or an official update to the latest JB

Thanks! Yea, no regrets here. I work at a ****ty Staples selling phones, and my only prior LG smartphone experience was with the LG L9 which is a massive pile. Definitely a diamond in the rough here.

Very cool man. This here phone of ours is a beast and based on specs, might be future proofed for some time yet. It certainly won't compete on a raw power basis with some of what's rolling off assembly lines even today, but it will be able to run just about everything we throw at it competently for quite some time.

you dont have to pull the battery off to fix sudden crashes... because it will never happen
got mine for 2 months now, no regret

Yea outside of a boot loop or two when flashing I've never had a crash. I regularly had them with my old Epic 4g touch and S3. Confidence?

I got this phone off contract for $210 a few months ago. I still think it is the best available phone on Sprint and there is nothing in the pipeline I am aware of (for Sprint) that would make me switch.

I know right!
The day before i traded an evo 3d for a iphone 4s with 9 months of applecare+ and apple gave me a brand new one the next day

Welcome! This is a great phone!

I just got my lgog and I'm loving it. I've had it for a week and upgraded from an og evo that wasn't really so mobile anymore. Somehow a capacitor blew on my motherboard so my phone would last randomly between 20 minutes and 2 hours, randomly shut off when battery showed 40-80% so I was tethered to my charger lol. Oh well this phone is amazing. I rooted and unlocked it the day after I got it haha

Got mine yesterday, 170 bucks. clean esn, all the plastic on it still, cords/tags/etc still sealed.
guy was leaving sprint and wanted to get some quick money

i tried to earlier. my main desktop is out of commission until i get a new PSU, my current computer is single core 2gb and takes more than 20 mins to compile a kernel (im used to under 4). when i get it back up and running ill consider doing a stock based kernel (i have yet to find a reason to flash aosp on my device) and ill see how im feeling then.

I know what you mean I'm still on stock and its really fast. I'm used to touchwiz and never really noticed how slow it really was until I got this phone.
