Curious if anyone that was on Sprint and had the Galaxy SII Epic 4G Touch, moved to Verizon for the Nexus ?
I love my Galaxy SII, great phone and I am rooted with awesome custom ROM and ICS theme. The device is butter smooth and warp speed fast with great battery life.
But Sprint is as good as whacking off with sand paper. Sure it works but sucks. 3G service is like 1995 dial up modem. But their family plan pricing is very competitive.
I am possibly thinking moving to Verizon for the Nexus, big want some advice first please. Looking at their plans they do not have free mobile to any mobile like Sprint and ATT ? And their text messaging plan is 1,000 at the most per month ? If I go unlimited minutes plan Texts should be in that. Texting is part of the phone not data per say.
Thanks ahead time

I made the switch to Verizon. Even tho I loved my e4gt the sheer difference in 3g/4g speeds is more than worth it. I hated sprint with a passion just because of the data speeds. Of course the monthly plans are a lil more pricey but it feels good to have such a nice phone (nexus galaxy) and be able to use it like its meant to be.

I actually left sprint on launch day because of a service issue with my galaxy s. I kept having to have it replaced. When I finally got one that worked right, service was lackluster at best. Got fed up when I tried to use data on launch day because my phone had zero data connection (for hours) no matter where I was. Enter Galaxy Nexus LTE and ICS... not looking back, looking forward to the future.
Looking over the Verizon family plan, and it looks extremely more expensive than Sprint.
- No free mobile to any mobile calls ? Sprint + ATT offer that.
- No unlimited Text plan ? 1,000 for $10 for the most ?
- Data, looks like the $30 for 4gb is the smartest option ?
If I go unlimited minutes, what else does that give ? Unlimited texts too ?
I switched from AT&T to Verizon and I'm loving it. It may be a bit pricey but the 4g speeds are awesome. Speed test clocked me in at 33Mb/s and I get the Galaxy Nexus. Never had Sprint so I guess I can't give a good response here though.

No unlimited mobile-to-mobile and my free minutes after 7 PM is what's keeping me on Sprint. I spend most of my time in NYC, so the data service isn't too bad. If I go rural, there is RoamControl which allows me to roam on VZW. My wife and mother in law are in a family plan with VZW, and I was considering giving up my SERO Premium and jumping onboard for the Galaxy Nexus - but use way too many minutes and without free mobile to mobile it's a no go
I switch to verizon from sprint yesterday for the nexus. Both the eve 03 d in the epic touch sucked. I'm so glad I made the switch

Yeah the no free mobile to any mobile is a deal breaker, with both Sprint and ATT offering it, makes it hard to switch. And doesn't Verizon offer free minutes at night and weekends ?

Check your usage with Sprint. Despite using my phone for business, I make most of my calls to family and friends, most of whom are already with VZW. Free minutes with Sprint are before 7 AM and after 7 PM, with VZW: before 9 AM and after 9 PM. Edge: Sprint, but again check your usage (when you tend to make most of your calls). I use less than 3 GB data with Sprint, and hardly any of it with Sprint 4G which sucks indoors. Now that VZW offers a 4G plan and there is a hacked hotspot for GNex, it is much more tempting to switch. My individual plan + insurance is still close to $70 a month; an extra line + data + insurance on VZW = $60. Galaxy Nexus >> Epic 4G, although I wish it had a hardware KB. And... I get to write off my phone as one used for business
Leaning back to VZW and GNex now. The way I see it, the combination of pretty good hardware, great software + development, great network coverage/frequencies that actually work indoors and very good data speeds = hard to beat. Sprint is working on its LTE but it seems that it won't be implemented until the mid to late 2012 and their LTE will initially be on 1900 band, which stinks for building penetration. I saved a ton with Sprint and SERO, but it is time to move on.

i made the switch from sprint yesterday. i admit, it was a tough decision. i had unlimited mobile to any mobile, plus the promotional 300 (i think) extra minutes they were offering a few months back.
I switched from Sprint. I've been a customer for over 10 years. No problems with reception, but 3g has gotten worse and wimax is not going anywhere. Plus, I don't like sense, touchwiz, etc. Honestly, I don't see much difference between 3g speeds. But lte is way more ubiquitous. I never go over 400 minutes or 4gigs of data.

I have been a sprint customer for 10 years and left sprint for Tmobile. I absolutely love tmobile service i get data speeds around 16mbps while on sprint i was getting like .2mbps. I did get a unlocked galaxy nexus and live it. I also had the gs2 on sprint but this thing is a beast. There is really no comparison.

Anyone else care to chime in ?
I am curious to hear from people that had a version of the Galaxy SII, and how they feel about switching to the Galaxy-Nexus ? A good upgrade, or more of a side grade only ?
One thing that confuses me, I keep reading all the tech forums, and they say the Galaxy-Nexus has worse hardware than the SII ? Saying the GPU is the same from the Nexus-S, and it outdated compared to what the SII is running ? And that once the SII gets ICS, it will eb a better/faster devcie than the Galaxy-Nexus ?
Is that true ? I would think since the Galaxy-Nexus is 6 months newer than the Galaxy SII, the hardware should be better ?
Anyone else ?
I switched from Sprint and my Evo 4g.
3G data speeds were killing me on Sprint with an average of 300-400kbps down...
4G took too long to turn on and it didn't work indoors at all.
Even though Verizon is more expensive, I really do feel like I'm getting quality service. My 3G speeds are about 1mbps or more down and 4G is anywhere from 6-25mbps depending on where I'm at.
I'm glad I made the switch.

Thanks for the info, yeah my biggest beef with Sprint has been their 3G service, slow as 1990's dial up modem. And in some towns around Chicago Sprint has dead areas, like no signal. In Orland Park where both my parents and sister live Sprint just doesn't even work around their homes.
But I am very happy with my Epic 4G Touch, it is rooted with a great ROM, and ICS theme.
Not sure if it is worth leaving Sprint for the Galaxy-Nexus and move to Verizon ? Would hate to leave, and then all of a sudden Sprint gets a kick ass ICS phone, and improves their network.

Im looking at going to a prepaid provider such as Straight talk and was wondering which att/tmobile phone was equal to the Epic 4g touch? It looks like the sgs2 and skyrocket have 1.5 processor but is slower than ours.

Not for nothing but if you are any type of phone person this answer is simple especially since we are not hiding any phones from you... But really if you just shot down the two other Galaxy phones and your know the Nexus has less features then honestly what answer would you be looking for...
Sorry I also assume you know bout the HTC phones about to drop and the Galaxy 3 .... Jus' Sayin'
One more thing look at Simple Mobile there 4g speeds are off the chart
You could always flash your epic 4g touch to virgin mobile or boost mobile. I am running the epic touch on virgin mobile right now and no complaints here. Best part is I only pay $25 a month for service

They are the same speeds as sprint because they are both sprint subsidiaries. So if data speeds are your main concerns I would suggest staying away. I am on virgin mobile because I am not a heavy cell phone user and cost is my main concern.

Then yeah i would have to stick with att or tmobile as verizon does not cover my area. My coworker has att and gets 3-4 mb/s any time of the day every day. I havent seen over 1mb/s for a year now.
Flashed over verizon prl to see how the service is in my area. WOW i get consistently 1-2mb/s every single speed test and average of around 1-2 bars more signal everywhere...... Will probably stick with sprint for now, decisions decisions...
I've been thinking about trying straight talk. They have packages were you use sprint, VZ or AT&T towers. If I switched over I would just go buy a One X from at&t for $550. I'm on a family plan with my girlfriend and are sprint bill is $180 bucks a month! I could buy a One X for $550 and a used Iphone 4s for her for like 350.
Investment in phones : $900
$50 a month for 2 phones for 2 years : $2400
Total: $3300
Sprint bill for 2 years: $4320
What do you guys think?
I could even just flash a different networks PRL and use a lot of data and get sprint to cancel my service. Then sell our devices for around $700 for both. If I did that and they canceled my service would they cancel hers as well? I am the primary btw...

I'll be curious what it will look like after their network vision in completed and things normalize.
Its one thing to have crap service with the hope of an upgrade. Another when after the upgrade its still crap.
We moved our lines out of Sprint for AT&T and Verizon. The cost is nearly the same I'm paying about $10 more per month total for 5 lines with my family plan on AT&T since we use Google voice for texting and don't need many minutes with A-List. My one line on Verizon costs me $64 4gb of data 450 minutes all taxes included. After discounts.
Unless you are on Sero Sprint just isn't that much cheaper at all all things considered.
It's just an awful impatient feeling when you look up your area on the NV rollout site and it says 6 updates completed, 29 updates planned. I don't mind since my 3G speeds are pretty decent as it is.
Being a previous att user and having them royally screw over our family plan left a bad taste in mY mouth and sprint having unlimited made me like the idea. Especially when the sales rep told me it did support wimax. 4g better come quick though I feel like the KC launch is a flop. Then again my iPhone 4 got about the same on art 3g so I can't say I stepped backwards. Though 3g here is a bit faster than these tests.

I've been with Sprint for over 10 years. Their 3G used to be good but started to crap out about 5 years ago. Even with their NV, they will play catch up with their 3G. As for the LTE, it won't be as good as the other carriers even at launch because of limited spectrum. In the end, with all the upgrades that the other carriers do, Sprint will always be slower IMO. However, unlimited data. Only reason why I stayed. If Sprint axes that, I'm SOOOOOO gone.
I was on sprint with 2 sero lines, I lasted 7 years with them but the call drop rate, crappy internet speeds, and garbage costumer service was unbearable. I will gladly pay more money for good service...

Current almost 13 yr old Sprint customer.
Out of curiosity i decided to test out Straight Talk (AT&T MVNO) for a month seeing as i had an iPhone 4S laying around as well as a Pantech Element AT&T LTE tablet. I basically would swap out the microSIM between the iPhone and Pantech Element. Even though it was "only" HSPA+, i was pulling 4Megs down on average and more than 1meg up. Plus in the notorious doctors office/pharmacy and workplace locker room where my Sprint phones always die, i had service.
Imagine clicking on YouTube or any multimedia links and the dang thing streams without any hiccups or buffering. I was impressed...
In contrast, i can barely stream a 128k radio station on TuneIn Radio on my Sprint phone at times.
All I can say is THANK GOD I LEFT SPRINT LAST MONTH! ATT has been great so far! Both in network and CS!
Was on sprint for 4 years, left, well because of this lol. Not this article but there Crap 3g lol. Also my house and surrounding area was a black whole. On at&t now and loving it. No unlimited data but my plan with discounts clocks in at about 20 bucs more then sprint. Happy to pay the difference.

Those Sprint data speeds were better then what I was getting when I had Sprint. I'm happy to be in the prepaid world with a cheaper plan, much faster data and sofar unlimited.
I left sprint about 8 years ago because the cell service sucked with them. I am in the Lehigh valley in pa and at&t is great. I was going to switch to Verizon for the lte but my S3 from at&t has pulled over 10 down and 2 up on hspa so it wasn't worth losing unlimited data over a couple megs up, in my area Verizons lte only gets 10 down 10 up.
Edit- by the way, about sprints speeds, I love when in the speed test thread here people were calling T-Mobile the slowest network. They were completely disregarding sprint even existed.

Sprint should be ashamed selling their product in its current state. I almost left them last month.. I stayed for unlimited data and because LTE is supposed to be here later this year. If something comes up and I can get out of my contract tho, Im gone.
This whole LTE thing is wimax all over again. I live in the metro Atlanta area and the building penetration for this new 4g is just as crappy as the previous. I seem to be getting more bars on this phone but the data speeds are still terrible.
Sprint says they are doing this and that but the bottom line is that their network is still garbage. Only thing they have going is unlimited data. /rant

I would ask friends/family if they have att unlimited data and try to get grandfathered in. I've heard some questionable things about sprint mostly their data speeds and data coverage. I guess it all depends where you go. I live in LA and my data speed is awesome but most of the time my signal sucks. Thinking about switching to the note 2 myself.

Well everyone seems consistent that Sprint sometimes has poor coverage. That was my thought as well. I've never had it but that's because many people I have known or work with have and it seems next worst after Tmobile for coverage. That's in the Los Angeles area but I'm also factoring experience with people traveling around the country.
One guy on Sprint will frequently want to conference call by calling me first then calling the third number, and I can't recall having a call where his connection didn't drop and of course take the call with it.
Every time I'm tempted to try Sprint I remember the experience of people I know who have it. By the way, I haven't heard anyone actually complain about Sprint in years, but I think they're just used to the dropped calls.
I live in in about 45 miles NE of LA, and Sprint coverage around here and all around LA is bad on a good day and terrible the rest of the time. The data speeds are laughable. I just switched to ATT because they HSPA+ is night and day faster than anything I got on Sprint, even on their doomed WiMax network. While there voice coverage was OK, there 3G speeds were just so absolutely horrible, and the fact that 4G is all but non-existent with them made it an easy choice to switch after many years with them.
If you are not in a 4g area, the data speeds are awful.
Typically a good coverage area without 4g would give me less than 1mb down and up. If I was in a lower coverage area it was far worse. 4g areas were great, but they were very hard to find.
I just switched to att and I can tell you without a doubt that (sans 4g) my worst speeds so far on att beat my best speeds on sprint. Unlimited data is great, but only if you can consume it faster than a snail can run.
Other than terrible speeds, I was very happy with sprint. The price was good and the service was good. Coverage was just OK.
Sprint should never be an option when considering a data plan.
Had sprint for 13 years in Dallas because of low prices and 4g coverage. Finally switched to at&t because coverage was so bad and have never been happier with a cell phone. Avoid sprint at all costs if you can.

I also moved from Sprint to At&t and could not be happier, back when I had nextel it was good, they had service back in the woods but once sprint took over it sucked, I miss the old Iden network. I had no reception in my house, and I live in a very good coverage area with any other carrier, even T-mobile had better service. But I also have unlimited (5gb) data for $30 and my total bill for the family plan for my wife and I is $150 so I dont think I could switch now if I wanted to.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD NO!!!
12 year Sprint customer here. I still have one year left on my Samsung Epic 4G Touch (S2) and it is simply not usable as far as data goes on 3G. Make damn sure you live in an area that has LTE before making the switch.
I'm lucky to see 50~100kbps speed tests on Sprint. Youtube doesn't load. Webpages time out. Streaming audio is a no go. I've tried every combo or ROM and modem I can think of.
We have 4G WiMax downtown, which my phone is WiMax, not LTE and it does work on 4G when I'm down there but I get maybe 4000~6000kbps which is very usable BUT the sad thing is I'm getting 6000~8000kbps on ATT 3G/HSPA+, not even there LTE.
Sprint blew up big and doesn't have the network to support it the speeds. Few years ago data worked fine on early Smart Phones but it seems like ever since they got all these Androids and the iPhones, it went to hell.
5GB of working data on ATT is way better then Unlimited that really doesn't work.

I could be mistaken but I believe Qwest is still piggy-backing on their network along with who knows how many other prepaid carriers. None of which benefits Sprint's customers when it comes to data speeds.

Switching from Sprint to AT&T after ten years on Sprint is one of the best tech choices I have ever made. AT&T honored a 25% discount I had at Sprint that Sprint wouldn't honor it if I renewed my contract. Data speeds are now fast enough to be useful and customer service is amazing. EVERYTHING has been better on AT&T.

Don't even get Sprint if you live in an area with LTE. It will drop out with 100% signal strength and be very spotty. At 100% LTE 1 min you'll get 20mbs, the next mins you'll get 2mbs.
Go with a Net10(att) $50 unlimited plan. HSDPA+ and they claim themselves there is 50,000 minutes a month and NO data cap soever
Signing up with Sprint is kind of like buying a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get. Well, besides horrible data speeds and coverage.

I had T-Mobile prior the iPhone 4S. Their service was excellent here. Some places EDGE, yes, but calls never dropped. I got onto AT&T and calls started dropping like crazy. During peak hours data was very slow. At first I liked being on a much larger network, but now I hate it.
I want truly unlimited data and better service. T-Mobile does have better quality service, its just not as mature as AT&T.

Believe me, I want to switch to T-Mobile so bad, but I dont want to pay an ETF with AT&T. It would be $195 if I left. Started service Oct 2011 with them.
Anyway, they drop so many calls and data sucks. Their LTE is nice but the costs are not. They also throttled speeds during calls too.
$140 for 4 lines, unlimited 4g,unlimited messaging, and 1000 minutes (never used) is a great price
love t-mobile data speeds customer service and all. I mean I live in a big city and I am inside a big city 99% of the time. I guess unless you travel a lot outside a city you'd be fine coverage wise. t-mobile data speeds is great too. I get 10mbps and up in and around metro-jax peaking at 27mbps.
last September 5 they introduced the truly unlimited nationwide 4g for $20 on value plan $5 cheaper than 5gb+hotspot. never been happier. I don't even know what wifi is anymore lol
I couldn't even hit 200gb on my laptop where I download tons of data and stream Netflix a lot so I wouldn't worry too much with 9.5TB of caps.

I think that they had/felt like putting in a number. But after all that I am sure your billing cycle would be over anyways. Between my home and T-mo interweb, I usually DL about 300GB per mo.
I truely enjoy my Note2.
Note 2 is the sickest phone ever
For once there is a phone that is everything it claims to be. Note 2 passes my expectations in entertainment, for business, and for school. I've been entertaining people by the handfuls with this thing. T-Mobile has definitely made some big changes with their phones and their customer service. Although every now and again I get into it with them, but that's everywhere. I've driven cross country a couple times with my SGS and SGS II and both times I only lost signal in the most desolate places. Speeds are very impressive. I try to compare with other people and their different carriers all the time. There are moments when I get speeds close to Verizon users, using SpeedTest. Overall I'm very impressed with T-Mobile and their fight to bring back some competition to the phone market. I have unlimited everything including data with no cap to slow down and I only pay $75/month. That's including insurance for $7.
I've had T-Mobile for 8 years and I'm happy with my service. Not to mention all of my 3 lines have unlimited everything (no caps) and its under $100

Same here I have had T-Mobile for 11 years thats since they were VoiceStream, love the service I live in NYC great speed and coverage for 2 lines unlimited everything for $100. As a matter of fact before I purchased my Note 2 my upgrade wasn't until june 2013 they gave me an early full upgrade for being a loyal customer. They actually have a loyalty department which I thought was pretty awesome great customer service have no plans on ever leaving.

But how does T-Mobile compare to AT&T? AT&T has LTE everywhere here in Chicago. T-Mobile does have a nice AWS HSPA+ network but its not as mature as AT&T's. Speeds top out around 25mbps too.
Hi,
I have the Sprint Note II in my hands now and have till tomorrow to return it. I am thinking of switching to T-Mobile. I LOVE this phone.
I am only worried about differences in the phone (if there are any negatives) and of course coverage and speeds. I hear T Mob has some great speeds but not when you travel out of major cities. Any truth?
I love that Tmob is GSM since I do travel int. And I can get a small bus plan so my bill is only $50/month compared to $70 w Sprint. Plus, you get free hotspot and I don't need to root to get free tethering.
As far as phone, are there any major differences? Is T Mob usually behind on updates as I've had Multi Window since I bought the phone on the 4th?
Anything else you can tell me? BTW, my battery is phenomenal. I am sitting on almost 2 days of battery usage. Same for T Mob?
Thanks for any answers!!
I left sprint to come back to T mobile after a 2 year contract. I live in the Chicago land area and T mobile is great here. Sprint was absolutely the worst service I've ever had. Slow data speeds, dropped calls, not getting texts, non existent 4g etc. Having CDMA has also made selling my old sprint phones difficult. I had been with T mobile for 10 years before switching to sprint for sprints unlimited plan. What I found was sprints 4g which I hardly ever used because it was so spotty was slower than T mobiles 3g. I like T mobiles free wifi calling and hot spot service, it's a nice touch. Overall I'm very happy with my note and T mobile, I'm averaging 12 Meg download speeds, and get that in my basement of my house too. I couldn't even dream of getting 4g anywhere in my house on the sprint network.

The phones are exactly the same on both carriers. Multi-Window and stuff is coming in a day, on the 19th. So you should be set to go.
