With all the new Android devices coming to Sprint, will you be making the switch to one of them?
Samsung Galaxy Nexus - April 15?
HTC EVO 4G LTE - May-June?
Samsung Galaxy Note - 2nd Quarter?
Leave some feedback, I'm interested in if anyone would give up this awesome device we already have for one of the new ones!
I don't think so, I don't want a bigger screen size

Honestly, I may wait for the Note! I played with the AT&T version and was amazed!
I really want the galaxy note, but I want to see it first.
Is the note confirmed? Don't play with my emotions man!
Note! This epic touch fells to small.

Not confirmed but rumored and a visual on the Sprint website!
Look HERE
Going to see if I can get the Evo. I had the OG Evo before and I loved it.
None..not up for upgrade, there is not LTE here in Houston and I am pleased with this phone.
Thinking about the note, or evo

Definetely not the Nexus. Our phones have much better specs than the Nexus. That camera is horrible in quality.
I'd get the Note if it doesn't take too long to come out. Otherwise, I'd just wait for the SG3 in September.
im not gonna upgrade but if i were too then htc evo 4g lte no doubt. note is almost a year old and so is the nexus. evo brings in new tech
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium the note is the su snapdragon then no. Higher resolution with a not so powerful gpu =less performance on games and I play alot
Nope. I will consider the GSIII. If Sprint's variant tickles my nads then I'll sell my GSII and buy it. Otherwise, I'll be waiting for 2013's lineup.
until I get lte on my Area.... im fine with my wimax and won't go back to 3g that goes from 5kbps to 2 mbps.. .
I played with the Note at At$t and it was extremely laggy. Anyone else notice? I'll wait for the SG3...

ill prob wait for the S3 not a big fan a of having a monster phone in my back pocket and as for nexus and evo i dont have lte in my are so its pointless. still loving my s2.
Most likely waiting for the SG3 as well, but will honestly just have to wait and see. If the SG3 really isn't being released until September then it's likely I'll pick up another phone in the interim just for the newness. But I love my E4GT so it's going to take a LOT to sway me.
First off i want to thank god that i am a sprint employee i will prolly go with the note and then the GSIII
When Sprint kicks me off their network for the constant 3g Data roaming (ever since I moved 6 months ago) I'll be getting either Galaxy Note or Galaxy Nexus on AT&T.
(AT&T makes more sense in my situation because all my family and my wife's family are on AT&T as well).

OK so I'm really not sure why all the Galaxy S2s have ICS but the T-mobile version. So my question is who's responsible to develop the version for the T989, Samsung or T-mobile? I don't understand why the ATT version and the international version have had their ICS for so long and we have to work on porting a version. So if someone has knowledge as to the development cycle of software upgrades and who's responsible (carrier, manufacturer, Google) to get a version out to the phone can you let me know.
Samsung builds it, T-Mobile tests it and adds their BS. Atleast that's my understanding

that is correct, for all carriers. Samsung releases touchwizzed stock ics with Samsung bloat, Carriers add more bloat, then OTA/send it to your phone
The sprint and att versions are closer to the international version than ours are. Which allows them to get ports faster.
International is powered by the exynos soc
Tmobile version is powered by the qualcomm soc

They made a decision to give us an soc that had higher theoretical download speeds.
The note skyrocket and ours got screwed because they thought download speed was more important.
I cant be mad because I bought the phone knowing what soc it had.
It was either that or the amaze 4g.
Thanks
Well thank you for all the information. So if Samsung is busy working on getting the Galaxy S III out then I guess it might be a while since ours is crap. I bought the T-Mobile version for two reasons:
1) Faster downloads (I get 12-14 megs /sec) so I was told that was faster than ATT would provide.
2) There is no overage charges.
So if I exceed my monthly cap my bill doesn't go up and next month it will reset back to 4G speed; I can live with a few days of slower speed if needed. Basically the T989 version is crappier and I'd been better off buying an international version off the internet instead of buying the phone from T-mobile. For example I went to Corning's site and thought it had Gorilla Glass too. I found out by researching XDA that indeed it doesn't. Well I guess I'm stuck for 2 years now. Really wish I had known that what I was purchasing was the stepchild version.
Thanks you everyone for explaining the issue. Guess I'll keep looking for a good ICS ROM on the forums.

Haha sad but true.
This is not a rant nor a rave post, it's all about one's opinion regarding the difference between the International version S3 and the T-mobile S3.
I have had my S3 T999 UNLOCKED version for a while now, it's a 16gig model and after Flashing so many ROM's and whatnot, I am seriously considering getting the International version.
My decision is NOT based on the HARDWARE difference between the 2, it's based on the SOFTWARE alone.
IMHO, It's totally inconceivable to expect a device like a cellphone to be a Speed demon or have the Fastest and Latest super this or super that. I don't think anyone BOUGHT their device for that reason alone so what did we buy it for in the first place ?
1. Reliable Communication should be the #1 top reason for everyone.
2. Dependability should be #2, I would believe.
3. Utility as a personal entertainment device to pass the time when one is bored.
There are other reasons that I can't think of but it's safe to say that the T-mobile S3 is different in 1 regard, between the other GSM carriers, T-mobile has 1 different frequency, don't quote me but I think it's the 2100 .
Would any of you care to share your opinion if you had to go back and change your mind would you have gotten an UNLOCKED S3 International over the T-mobile's version, disregarding the hardware aspects of the 2 ?
P.S. Oh and BTW, Is there any end users and/or Developers that have both devices ?
Regarding the Software, I just would like to have the Essential apps that 1 needs, not all this other B$ that is dependent of the other bloated apps, I think everyone knows what am referring too, right ?
If Wild or Doc, reads this, maybe we can ask for a ROM that let's us install the apps we want on our devices via the Aroma installer, would be nice right pps ?
Yes, the T-Mobile version is different in that it lacks LTE and it adds the AWS (1700/2100) band. You never really said why you made a decision to change devices, just that you had made a decision. Personally, I am happy with the phone I have, but I am on T-Mobile, so the T999 that I have is an obvious choice. Are you on T-Mobile? If you are, think carefully before you get another version, since you probably won't get the data speeds you expect with any other GS3 version, at least not at this time.
I don't understand what are you trying to tell us, but if you going with international version make sure you get a career like Att the support hspa, otherwise you will be stuck on edge for tmobile, until they re framed their network
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
Only reason to NOT get Internation version is simply as stated before of the AWS band, you going to be on EDGE with the internation version no matter where in the US you go too. So what is your reason for switching anyway?? Because your post is confusing

Hello guys, i would like your advice on this matter. I want to order a t999 because of the specs i find more powerful, therefore i want to know if i can use it in Europe with my local (vodafone Romania) carrier...After i will get it unlock i mean.
I recently find out that my carrier uses 900 mHz network GSM.
Well i have both t999 & international. i cant take the slow speeds of the international so i use the T999 as my daily phone but if i had 4g i would totally use my GT-I9300 to me there's a difference

sleepy13909, Thanks for your reply.
I am a T-mobile customer and I have the T999 but as I mentioned, I didn't buy the device of the download speed, I bought it because I thought it was a RELIABLE COMMUNICATION DEVICE.
Since, I've not ventured out into the I9300 area of the forums here, I was wondering how much Bloat is on the International version compared to the T-mobile ?

This is really important for me. You have SEEN his Note get 4g here in Vegas? My gt-i9300 is in transit as I type this so I really wanna know if 1900 band will really supply me at least 3g speeds as of 9.24.12. Because if they're both 1900 baseband phones I don't see why my sgs3 gt-i9300 couldn't get it. Btw I live in eastern side of town. Around Hollywood and lake Mead. Around which side of town does he get those speeds?

So what's the MAJOR difference between AT&T sgs2 I900 (i think) and the Srint et4g?
just the simple fact that one is GSM and the other is CDMA?
or is it more to it than that? because if that's the case it would be amazingly easy to bring some other work over here.. especially on jellybean..
I believe atat only sells the skyrocket variant of the gs2 now, which uses different hardware. Qualcomm snappdragon s3 with adreno 220 gpu, as oppose to the spring model which uses the exynos 4210 and Mali 400 gpu.

Somewhat wrong on first account. All the major carriers use completely different LTE frequencies. Verizon uses the lower 800mhz block, ATT uses the 700 mhz block, sprint uses 850 (not yet) / 1900 (currently deploying via network vision) / 2500-2600mhz Clearwire TDLTE (future - hotspots) freqs. Although recent advancements in radios allow us to have multiple frequencies on one phone (like the i5 radio), it only goes so far.
The fact that all the S3 being very similar is due to the fact that Samsung got sick of the BS from the carriers and have finally gotten the marketshare and power to finally force the carriers into not messing with their phones. 30 million galaxy S devices + 30 million galaxy s2 devices and 20 million+ gs3's ensure that Samsung has a lot of influence over carriers.
Originally Galaxy S2 on att supported ATT's HSPA21+ 4g network but not the LTE network.
The Original AT&T GS2 (Like Euro Version), has the Exynos Processor. The Skyrocket, to have LTE, had the Snapdragon S3. This is why all US varients have the Dual core S4 and not the Quad Exynos, they all have LTE.
As far as the GS3, they took a route similar to Apple. Different carriers, but a completely unified device. Just change radio bands.

I actually own both phones well the T-Mobile variant at least which is exactly the same phone as the AT&T Skyrocket. The roms for both phones are actually interchangeable and only a rotation fix is needed. Other than shape and the fact that I can make calls and stream the web both phones run the same to me. No notification lights though for the T-Mobile variant which sucks when you get a text or missed call.
Exactly what work is it you are referring too though. I thought development on the Sprint side was way better... Unless you are referring to the first AT&T Galaxy 2

That's right, confirmed yesterday with a release date of November 13th, the Google Nexus 4 will be a 4.75" Quad Core Snapdragon S4 device marketed by LG.
I know I and many in the HTC Community were looking forward to the supposed HTC Branded Google Nexus 5 (ie HTC Incredible DLX).
The LG branded Google Nexus 4 will not feature 4G LTE capabilities and looks like it won't feature 4G at all. It will offer Android 4.2, 2GB RAM, wireless charging and other features. More can be found here

Here's the Google Play store page for it Nexus 4
I was looking forward to the Nexus 4. I was so sad when I found out there was no 4G and it would not be on Verizon. Haven't had a Nexus device yet. Guess now I'm for HTC DNA or whatever they decide to call it...
The simple fact is is that Verizon does not support timely updates or unlocked devices. Its also common knowledge that LTE is a huge battery hog. My brother has T-Mobile HSPA+ 42 and has no problems streaming Netflix, which is what most people complain about. Besides, LTE is only available in 8 countries worldwide and even in those countries its only available in certain areas.
