Epic for Galaxy Nexus?

Am I the only one thinking about trading this in for a new nexus or maybe a evo 3d?
because I know they're saying be patient on roms but I've been very patient and this some be :/

So make a rom or is this just a rant post?

Go get your EVO 3d already if you really want to test your patience, hopefully you get a 1.5 bootloader too.

Lol i had an evo 3d from day 1 and now its sitting in a box while i use this. Sgs2 hands down better. Get lostkernel with starburst Rom. Epic speed and battery life. Can't compare the 3d screen to the SUPER AMOLED.

If you wanna wait for the galaxy nexus to release on sprint while dealing with an evo 3d be my guest.

Get the evo3d. Oh and make your own rom.
Sent From My Evo Killer!!!

Lol, Evo3D. I had it on release day... Brought it back for Nexus S4g... Got another Evo3D, rooted, rommed...meh. Aside from the giant hardware deficiencies it had, especially compared to et4g, umm, just blah. Synergy rom was the only compelling rom. CM7 still has a long ways to go and the other millions of roms? Pretty much themes. Also, sense? Ugh.
The grass is always greener bro, keep that in mind... But... Be my guest.
Though I will definitely be going the Nexus Prime route. Still debating switching to Verizon or waiting for the Sprint version.
Otherwise just be patient... Things will be fine... Especially once we get a true AOSP base.

Seems like the only benefits of the nexxus are the screen, nfc, and ics, otherwise 1.2 GHz processor (not sure what chip it is), 5mp camera, 1.3mp front, etc.
Seems like it's not as big of an upgrade as most expected. Once we get ics I'll be happy. I dont see myself utilizing the nfc, and the bigger screen isn't worth however much I'd have to pay. I hope Samsung is on top of the ICS update.

The screen (except in fullscreen mode for games that support it and video) will likely be the same size (of active area) or perhaps closer to 4.3" in scale...remember the on-screen buttons. Though the resolution must be stunning.
I heard it was supposed to be the new OMAP platform, but, I don't recall getting any official comfirmation of that.
The FFC I thought was the same 2.0mp that we have. Though the 5mp seems like a downgrade I'll bet that the optics are better. Besides, making the pictures 'bigger' without adding any high-quality detail is pretty pointless.
I don't care much for NFC myself...and the 16:9 aspect ratio I find very irritating...but, remember on-screen buttons...sometimes....
I'm going in for the Official Google Experience, early updates and no horse-**** when it comes to source code (I'm looking at you Samsung with their older-than-release kernel and HTC with their half-of-the-source code). If it is the same as my ET4G plus a little resolution bump minus a couple meaningless megapixels I'm game.
...who knows, it might even support EVDO rev.b that is pointless to worry about. though, if it is an OMAP those are known for their awesome overclockability...
I'm definitely going to get one, but, I'm not going to be a release-day whore like I usually am. This ET4G is a stellar phone as it is and I'm still enjoying it thoroughly.

Go for it, one less person to make threads like this.

If it comes to Sprint, I'm laying down the money for this phone. I love my Epic Touch but I haven't tried a Nexus phone yet and ICS looks amazing, along with the hardware that comes with the Galaxy Nexus.

I'll be getting rid of this phone to go back to my Nexus S and just hold onto it until the Galaxy Nexus comes out for Sprint. (if it does)
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App

Yeah man I like flashing roms too.. but it doesnt get much better than starburst rom with lost kernel. My set up runs circles around any phone I have ever owned including the Evo 3d. The screen is bigger on the prime and has better resolution but if you use density changer that really doesnt matter. Other than that it doesnt really have any groundbreaking updates as far as hardware is concerned and sooner or later the software updates will be available on our phones anyway. That being said... I think you should go get the 3d based on the fact that you even had to ask.

So far it seems to be that unless you are an HTC device or a GSM Samsung device or a Verizon Motorola device you are going to be stuck with the proverbial red-headed-stepchild-device so far as development is concerned...Unless you get a Nexus...though there is still a splinter between the carrier models I'll take it. CM7 and MiUi are all I really want as options, everything else is gravy after that...like netarchy kernels.
Perhaps I'm wrong and just paranoid about this becoming the same disaster I saw the Epic turn out to be...a device that wasn't intended to be Android until the last minute (from what I understand). After coming from a long line of HTC devices it's hard not to be paranoid about that. Which is too bad since HTC dropped the ball this round and Samsung is really picking up the slack, finally.
Getting a Nexus device hedges against this...

If you could get a rezound you wouldn't rather get the nexus? Rezound is using our same Qualcomm S3 MSM8600 chip.

As a phone, the S2 is absolutely fantastic. Does everything I want it to do. As a carrier, I'm still on the fence with t-mobile. Data speeds are plenty fast, but data reception seems to be a mixed bag.

well... when it comes to Reception, that is really the nature of the AWS technology which requires 2 wide bands 1700+2100 for up and down to work
so building penetration is always a compromise

Now that I am on the Galaxy S2, I can tell you that it is by far the best phone that I have ever owned. Even stock, it is absolutely blazing fast. After I put beastmod on it, the thing just flies, and this is before OCing. Keep in mind that ICS is supposed to be able to utilize dual-core technology to it's fullest so when the update comes up (it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when), our phones will be in for a nice tune-up. As for as internet speeds go, I can tell you that it is BLAZING fast. It is faster and more reliable than when I had my G2 (which was just last year).
I can't post pictures but I can tell you that the fastest I have ever gotten with my S2 (in the same service area that I tested my G2 just last year) is 31MBPS. For daily usage, I consistently get 7-14MBPS. I am downloading HD videos off of Youtube in a matter of 5-10 seconds. I am downloading and finishing music downloads as soon as it pops up in my notifications bar. The phone is fast in every way, and everything flows so well together. No lag, no hassle, it just works.

got my phone a few days back from my awesome girlfriend, amazingly fast, battery only lasts a day, from 9 till 6, as i always use data connection, 1850mhz, not much of juice for this 1.5 dual core monster, resolution is a draw back with this nice screen 4.52" i am talking about, only 480*800? meh, waiting for miui roms........ only alpha versions atm, touchwiz looks gay.
speaker is way better than i9000, louder at least! some people say they want metal back cover, i say hey, it is light!!! with this kinda size!
i would give 9 out of 10 for this phone, i wanna buy the sprint version, lol, cdma 2000. not available in china yet, too bad.

What app do I use to test for lines and blobs?

HTC One S

Who is jumping ship for the One S coming out this month?? I am thinking about it, but am afraid that the lack of an SD card slot is a deal breaker. Also worried battery life may not be that great.
Thanks

Being a previous owner of a Sensation and Amaze 4G, there's not enough going on with the HTC One to make the jump. Besides, it's a dumb-down version of the One X.

I wouldn't necessarily call it a dumbed down version. The One S will have the new S4 Krait chip which though not quad core, handily beats the Tegra 3 (int'l One X) in recent bench markings.
Plus, it is built on 28nm process technology which will reduce power consumption.

I dont think ill be getting that phone their isnt enought new features on it for me to wanna upgrade from my S2 just yet,, also really dislike the fact their is no sd slot. I have also had the HTC sensation 4g and a Mytouch 4g slide. The One S just isnt different enough....

I'd wait to see if this rumor pans out or not: http://androidandme.com/2012/02/sma...e-to-get-stock-android-4-0-and-quad-core-cpu/
If so, I think I'll probably make the leap to the G4x.

Not sure why I would fork out for a phone with very similar specs or waste an upgrade.
Also on a side note, benchmarks are dumb and pointless

Yeah no hspa+ 42 until the Tegra 4. Still hoping it happens though.

If it had an sd slot maybe because I want a higher rez screen but to me it's not much of an upgrade more like a slight improvement that sacrifices some key features people might not wanna give up.

Yes, your artificial benchmark results definitely mean one phone is "better" than another. It has nothing to do with touchwiz / sd card / battery size / removeability.
TL;DR you bought a phone for benchmarks?

Let me know when you need to replace the battery or upgrade the memory of your One X. Then we can talk "better."
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201

Apart from the differences in OS settings, installed apps, etc... there's also a key difference in CPU/GPU/Memory architecture.

I just got a 6857 so I don't see any problems (yes I am rooted and debloated). Benchmarks don't make or a break a phone, and in your case both devices are top-notch.

For sure, I was just surprised to see the difference. Does it matter between AT&T and t mobile? Once I unlock and debloat I'll be happy I'm sure.

I would be more concerned about slow data speeds from that phone instead..:highfive:

My tmobile just barely gets 5000. Sure I was kinda bummed when I saw the score. But shoot this is the fastest lag free phone I have ever used. Even though I overpaid to get this phone contract free its amazing. It was worth every penny. Seriously don't underestimate its power.

The title of your post got my attention and I think it got under the skin of some of us Samsung fanboys. No biggie. BTW, it's best to run benchmarks when your phone has been sitting for 10 minutes or so because CPU temperature can have a big affect on your results.

Maybe the rumors about the Tmo having a the gimped 8260a chipset are true.

This is 80% of it right here guys. I created a similar thread awhile back about low Quadrant scores on my S3. I couldn't barely even break 4000. If I just let the phone sit for 10 minutes without using it and then did a benchmark results were AMAZING. Heat definitely plays a factor. I did a test and set my phone on my A/C vent for 10 minutes and ran AnTuTu and I was at like 7300.
Relax your phone is fine

Iphone 5 benchmarks are in

Apparently it's just marginally faster then the USA version of the sgs3.

Not really... if this thing is only marginally faster than the USA version (not Exynos), then the international is probably already better. In that respect, it's safe to assume anyway that Samsung will obviously release a way faster S4 anyway.
Also S3 was released a couple months back meanwhile this was released just recently and processor is only marginally faster? Granted, Apple only made it as fast as it needed to be probably

The table doesn't show the US s3, it shows the international with the quad core exynos
