i just had to do it lol .. not bad at all imo
You switched? I said I wasn't thinking about it..but now I am.
My phone pissed me all the way off today. Unplug from 10am at 99%...at 2pm I'm at 25%. 25!!!!!! And from 10am to 2pm, I was in my class for an hour and didn't even touch my phone. That's basically 4 ****in hours. 4! I'm still pissed. I've been pissed all day. Let me know how that phone is.
Edit: And you'll probably get flamed for this. People might come in and be like "THE EFF THIS GOTTA DO WITH THE E4GT!!" and this will probably get closed...if it does, pm me. I really want to know about the iPhone
Don't give two ****s about the iPhone. Enjoy being a sheep. And imo, you're trolling.
im loving this phone so far i got the 32 gig i have had all the top sprint phone 3d , photon, and the epic touch ......only thing i miss from my epic is the screen size ... so far speed very fast. better cam better screen i will update on batter life later
Not me. But, I know my daughter wants one. I will do it once the prices drop on Ebay for a clean ESN one off contract. I myself will NEVER own APPLE. It amazes me how people hated M$ years ago and now Apple is doing the same and it's ok. But to each his own. Hope it treats you well. My sister loved hers.
i am a fan of tech, not companies. If an apple product fit my needs from a phone standpoint, i would make the switch no questions. Right now, ET4G is what i am digging, but if you get what you need with an iphone great!
Will you ask siri why we have los

That is the way I also think.....I would switch if the 4s came out with a 4.0-4.5 screen, had a 4g radio would be even better if it had SuperAmoled. Right now it would be a downgrade for me on what I want out of a phone.
if it had 4.3" screen and wimax, I would have bought one
but for now, especially since its off contract, and id need at least 32gb.....who has $749 for a phone lol
Ill wait for the iphone 5 LTE version I guess
What a mistake
Just got my iphone 4s in the mail today and i regret it already after 5 hours,this os is so lame and boring theres nothing to it got to spoiled on android with customizing everything,not much different from when i had the very first iphone.forgot about no flash too wtf was i thinking listening to all these paid off reviewers that always give it over rated reviews and the pics are good but not as good i dont care what anyone says.pics i have take with my epic 4g touch are cleaner,brighter,sharper and better even when compared on my desktop,even with the random minor issues my 4g touch had it is still better by far.every issue could but fix with updates that should be around the corner.iphone 4s is a mistake and waste of money unless u like no flash or sd slot or just dont like doing cool things to the appearance of your phone,very plan os.selling on ebay tonight already reconnected my epic 4g touch,now i will never leave android.
you have been warned!!!!!!!!!!!!
I did the opposite 4 weeks ago, went from iphone on att to epic 4g touch. Happy that I did for many of the same reasons listed above, also the screen size, camera quality, etc..

i could get a like new G2X for 350 with an extended 1980 battery for $350
or a brand new galaxy nexus for 650 + tax
what would you guys get?
i really want the galaxy nexus but theres some things i don't like about it like no gorilla glass and the speakers not that loud, but theres major pluses but ill be basically paying twice as much than the g2x
what should i do so confused
I wouldn't touch an LG phone. Ick.
Speakers: Volume+ and set it to +8.... Volume fixed.
Gorilla Glass: meh. it has some kind of protection on the glass, unsure whats the name but keys dont scratch it apparently.
Long term speaking. Galaxy Nexus will be a good development device.
I work at tmo and I would get the G2X over samsung anything. To be completely honest tho HTC all the way even a sensation would rock. Still my favorite phone even after I bought the amaze

And that's why you're using a Sidekick 4G right?
Stock Android experience + updates directly from Google is the best way to go to. Not to mention the amazing display that Samsung always offers. People always complain about Samsung phones are all plasticy.
Its plastic but it's built very durable and can survive falls a lot better than these other phones. It's also lighter, vivid and vibrant display that will make you be impressed in a heartbeat.
I really hope this was a trick question. If i were you i will not EVEN look/touch/think about the G2x. All i will tell you is do your research on that phone. In fact i will say get the Sensation/GII. Even if someone gives me a G2x right now i will not even touch it. So if getting the remaining dollar to get the GN is an issue then get then seriously look at the Sensation OR GII.
PS: in the long run you will want the GN.
Yeah fool. I have SEVERAL phones!

No ones a fanboy. We just simply love the "Pure Google Experience." I'll be honest about being a fanboy about Samsung's displays, they're gorgeous
It all depends on the person. If you're the person that wants the latest and newest version of Android. Galaxy Nexus will do you well, you can counter-argue this by talking about custom ROMs and all that. But you know what? it's up to the manufacturer of the phone to provide a 3.X.X version of the kernel. Without that, you are limiting development for that particular phone.

All i can say is WOW you don't know what you are talking about. G2X is way closer to a GOOGLE ANDROID experience. I can't even beleive i am sticking up for LG anything except that the new mytouch is awesome even tho all thoughts were a bit scary, turned out to be a very nice device. After 2 updates on G2X i have not been able to freeze it up since. I give up. By what he says then if your in phoenix i'll gladly override your restock so you can get something other than touchwiz.

The only thing that catches my eye is the GN ONLY because of the Nexus part. It's a personal choice. I wouldn't really wanna touch Samsung with LG's d!ck. Hardware means HTC or Motorola for me. I keep my phones and though they're both great beasts, there's only one button - less beast

I agree with you on the nexus part. HTC owns, but the nexus line only exist's because samsung holds out. I really do not prefer either option but based on what i have tested the answer is G2X even tho it was a nightmare before gingerbread, the phone is solid now. Add CM to it and wow!

I am coming to Sprint (and locked into the network) from a Verizon Droid Incredible. I loved the phone and I am sad to see it go, but Verizon doesn't do well in my new location. Sprint is the best and I am torn. The area also does not have 4g.
My entire family has gone with the 4s but I am on the fence. I love the openness of Android. I have an old Ipod touch 2g that has been used just for music since I got the Dinc.
Is this the phone to get or should I just get an Iphone?

E4GT is an amazing phone period even with it being a bit older then the 4S. Honestly if you do love Android (as you have one already) You will love the E4GT
Epic Touch for the win! The screen size is the best, compared to the tiny screensize of the iPhone. You'll get more out of this device than the iPhone.

I had this phone and decided I wanted to try the 4s. The 4s was a great phone but in the end I missed Android so much and I really missed the screen size of the Epic Touch so I went back to the Epic Touch. If you really love Android and your on Sprint the Epic Touch is hands down the best phone Sprint has to offer at the moment.

Actually While I do love my android phones I don't have an issue telling someone they will like the iPhone more for what they are going to use it for. It's pretty simple if you like another phone use it if not stick with what you know. As it is there is a 14 day "period" of time he can use/try the iPhone 4S and if he does not like it return it and get the E4GT. Either way it's really up to him.

Samsung will not even talk about the SG3 period all anyone knows is "summer" and that's about it. And honestly that's not even saying much I will say this however even though the GS3 will have better specs then the GS2 the GS2 regardless is still a beast of a phone. Out of the box it stands against pretty much every single phone released right now including the GNexus. Like I've said in another post you do have a 14 day window you can test a phone out. Give both the iPhone and the GS2 a go and see which one YOU like more.

I find nothing appealing about the iPhone at all. My GF has a 4s, and I honestly cannot stand it. There's no way I could ever go from *any* android phone to an iPhone. Just looking at the iPhone 4s screen after using my E4GT makes it look like a pile of barf. Yeah, it has really high pixel density, but who cares when the screen is so small that your thumb can cover 6 buttons at once.
I'm very pleased with my new Galaxy S3!
Little background about me, I've had Apple products for 10+ years and have had all the iPhone models since original release. From iMac's to Airports and iPods.. I have them all. In love apple you might think. But I am no fan boy.
I have tried the Samsung flagship devices every time they release one. I have had a infuse 4g, and galaxy s2 prior to getting the s3. I've always returned them because it was difficult for me to use and for some reason always had rebooting issues.
I was very excited when I saw galaxy s3 information and released date. I got it the day it came out for at&t.
I did lots of research on vanilla android because I just hated touchwiz so much.
I rooted and installed CWM. And finally I ended up with Cyanogenmod. I'm extremely happy. And I actually like using my phone.
Everything my iPhone did is much easier on this and the screen is close to the iPhone 4s which was important.
Anything I don't like, I can change!
Just thought I'd share with everyone and I will be on here a lot!

Hey, welcome to Android & XDA! I remember when I first picked up an Android device, because T-Mobile was literally trying to shove it down my throat for free, and they finally got me to bite by throwing in a $200 credit on top of it because my contract was ending, even though I had no intentions of leaving, lol! I was fascinated by it immediately and over the next two months I had acquired 3 more Android phones! I wish I would've discovered XDA sooner, I was on these other forums, and I kept hearing ppl mentioning XDA and I finally asked if it was a Rom or something? (Oh Boy did I get flamed for that)
The iphone hacking/jail breaking really doesn't compare to the vast amount of potential that a popular Android handset like the GS3 has. So many tweaks, mods, and choices its difficult to decide what you want sometimes? If you run into anything that leaves you at all unsure, then feel free to PM me, and if I can't provide you with a definitive answer then I'll point you to someone that can. Now I don't know if I was behind the curve at all, but it seemed like a lot to soak in at first for me, and I really hated asking what I thought were stupid questions, but it was how I had to learn sometimes. So if you are looking for anything, have any questions, or just want an opinion, I'll always answer Pm's.
Good luck, have fun, and most of all enjoy the community & your new toy!

Welcome to Android and xda (home)! I used an iPhone for awhile from February til the EVO LTE was released. I noticed a few things about the iPhone that lead me back to Android:
1) I got generally bored with it
2) I found the lack of options/settings annoying as I was unable to set certain personal preferences.
3) Organization of settings and preferences is illogical on the iPhone
4) Fake multi-tasking is pointless. If I wanted to have my pictures upload to sugar sync or Box I had to keep the phone open to the app or the upload process would stop until I returned to the app screen.
5) I can get more information faster on my Android phone than the iPhone- this is due to widgets, a more sophisticated notification drawer, and IMO better app integration and organization.
FWIW, I am currently using my 6+ year old VAIO but my next computer will likely be a mac book air and I stopped using an iPod when I started using smart phones.
I just switched from iPhone to android also. Like android a lot it beats ios hands down but iPhone is still on top when it comes to apps and games I wish that would change soon.

I remember when... LOL... I was on my old 8525 and guys were starting to port over android... you couldn't do crap but there were these crazy things called 'widgits'. I did the dual boot, but thought, winMO was here to stay!!!.... :silly:
Google owes the devs here a bunch of love for their work on pushing the OS as far as it has. Compare that to the "evolution" of the iOS - you'll see there's always some exciting new things coming our way. OK, not as polished as the apple apps.. but much more risque...
I can't stand the little bitty iPhone screen.
Same story for me bro. I I have every iPad out there (1,2,3), Mac Book Pro, MacBookAir, 4 iPhones, and Apple TV. I am no Apple fanboi.

I left iPhone after being with one since its initial release. I stopped at the iPhone 4. If they had come up with something better then the iPhone 4s, I probably would've stayed but I got tired of Apple always releasing outdated stuff (small screen, no 4g, slow processor, etc)
Since the 4, I had the Dell Streak 5 , HTC Inspire, Samsung Galaxy Tab (hacked to use as cell phone), Samsung Galaxy S II, and now the S III.
The main reason I am with Android is because of this forum, I love being able to change anything on my phone that needs changing, and the tons of roms that I can change to if I get bored of one.

That behemoth of a device.....I just got my gs3 and wondering when the note2 will reach at&t lol.
I got a new red s3 a few days ago and other than not being able to check for ot updates, I really like it. However, I have one big concern that has me wondering if maybe I should swap it out for a One X ($79.88 at wal mart). If Apple ends up winning the court case against Samsung, what will happen as far as future updates/upgrades/support? If Apple wins, apparently th s3 will be banned from future sales. And since they have already taken the local search function away, what other features are we likely to lose just to appease Apple?
Samsung and Apple will battle in court for the foreseeable future. The sgiii isn't going to get barred from being sold, at least not for any significant amount of time.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
I got mine
Apple already put a stop to sales of one of Samsung's tablets. The s3 is next on their list. But I already have one so that part doesn't concern me. What does concern me is support for the s3 if Samsung is banned from selling it. It is hard to imagine them supporting a product that they can't sell. Plus, if the software is also banned (local search), will they even be able to support it if they want to?
Umm they really don't have anything to go after the SGS3 for. It is not rectangular, it does not have uniform corners, and TouchWiz does not look like iOS, so what could the possible ban it for?
I know
I feel the same way. But you know how it is. I couldn't believe that Samsung took away the local search but they did. Apparently, pretty much everything from the icons to the touch screen is copied from Apple. But the s3 with its physical home button is the first Android powered phone to outsell the iPhone. Therefore it must go. Like I said, Apple got the Nexus tablet banned because it was too much like the iPad. I just don't want to be stuck with a phone that is constantly being stripped down bit by bit or completely removed from the market and nit supported at all. It's funny, though. The Apple TV sure looks like a Samsung to me. I wonder if Samsung will sue Apple?
Becouse they are afraid of the sgs3...

I got a new red s3 a few days ago and other than not being able to check for ot updates, I really like it. However, I have one big concern that has me wondering if maybe I should swap it out for a One X ($79.88 at wal mart). If Apple ends up winning the court case against Samsung, what will happen as far as future updates/upgrades/support? If Apple wins, apparently th s3 will be banned from future sales. And since they have already taken the local search function away, what other features are we likely to lose just to appease Apple?

You are on xda, you shouldnt worry about that. Devs here will do everything to add features back. atleast the common sense ones.
Even if something as far-fetched as banning the S3 does occur, I doubt that they would simply just stop supporting a device that sold over 10 million units.

I mean really, Apple does not have nothing to stop the SGS3. The phone was designed to avoid being stopped by Apple. and even then, if they try to stop it via software, they cant, because all it takes is a software patch. hence the Galaxy Nexus.
When it comes down to it, Apple is scared. Android is light years better and they know it. They know that Google made an OS to rival theirs and did it better. So, if you can't beat the competition, then sue (sp.) their butt off! Apple will ALWAYS be a fanboy market...meaning all the die-hard robots that will do/buy whatever Apple tells them too. Meanwhile, Google will keep innovating and making their mobile OS truely the best on the market today.
ahh the beauty of living in canada us patents dont apply here! yippee! never have to worry about any of these stupid lawsuits. :good:
though even if they win, they cant really touch the sgs iii, apple is mainly targeting older samsung phones which imo did blatantly copy apple (talking about like the galaxy s originaly) , they have changed a lot since those days. id be surprised if they had any dirt on the siii.
They are scared of Samsung itself. They know that Samsung copied the iPhone, and lets be honest here, they copied the dam iPhone, but they produced a product a million times better than the iPhone.
Samsung has some great technology, which is why its one of Apple's "Key Partners". I have owned three Samsung devices in the last year and they all were really good. Samsung has what it takes, but it is being limited by Apple. Why do you think the SGS3 is so ugly looking? To avoid Apple and its lawsuits.

Looks better than the HTC X and the iPhone itself.
Apple deserves to win this case. Look at the points and cases they are bringing up against the Galaxy S 1. The UI was completely ripped off of them. In addition, Samsung's lawyers are a bunch of jackasses in court (read the Verge if you dont know what Im talking about). Now... some of the new patents Apple is getting are utter bull****. I was pissed when they tried to ban the GNex because of the search patent .

Guys you cant ban something that already has tens of millions in the wild. Apple is definitely worried, because Steve only left them so much on his notes he kept and the iphone train is going to run out of steam after the next 2 iphones you mark my words, that is all he left them.
Buy another phone if you want, nothing in life is certain, but I would not worry one minute and use the phone you want now. Its already the best thing out there as is, once JB rolls out its a done deal. They have a removable battery and SD slot, doesnt sound like an iphone clone to me...And who cares if they ban the S1, its a totally different phone and old as hell to boot, it aint gonna happen. They must stop it before its released or it just doesnt work.

Apple already put a stop to sales of one of Samsung's tablets. The s3 is next on their list. But I already have one so that part doesn't concern me. What does concern me is support for the s3 if Samsung is banned from selling it. It is hard to imagine them supporting a product that they can't sell. Plus, if the software is also banned (local search), will they even be able to support it if they want to?

Why do you need support from Samsung? Just root and install custom roms, my old HTC Hero on Telus took over a year to get an update from 1.6 to eclair, but by then I was already running a custom rom.
I didn't mean to start an apple vs Samsung vs one x discussion. Honestly, I am amazed at how far mobile phones have come since I got my first Motorola Star Tac when I was in the military. I am just concerned about the future of my s3 in the event that apple wins in court. That said, I can see where apple is coming from. However, without competition from other manufacturers, there will be very few more advancements in the industry. Especially if every time someone produces a product that may or may not be better than apple, apple sues that company into submission. Imagine how it would be if car companies did the same thing. Or even something as simple as clothes detergent. My concern is not whether or not Samsung "will" support the s3 but whether not they will be able to due to restrictions placed on them by the courts that may prevent them from having the ability to support and improve on the s3
