Galaxy Nexus ruined Christmas....

Maybe I am ungrateful for making this post but I know I am not the only one who feels like this. About a month ago I was rock in a blackberry tour not because I couldn't get any other phone but because I was semi happy with it and no other phone period really had any affect on me.
Then one day I saw an epic touch in Craigslist for 200 and thought it was a scam but it was real. At first I had the phone. Its big, Los, battery, etc. Was gonna sell it for profit but I already sold my tour and the deal was just so good. Then started rooting and ics theme and tweaking made me fall in love.
Then got my gf a nexus s and put ics on it and it began. Then I went to Verizon and touched the galaxy nexus. It will cost me 1000 dollars to switch to Verizon with everybody. The physical of this phone to me is beyond any phone I have ever touched. Ice cream sand which is what android was always supposed to be.
Our screen is better in colors and our gpu is better and we have an SD card slot. But all that doesn't matter. Samsung will destroy ics with touchwiz and then the waiting game will start for a pure rom.
We all want the nexus lets just face it. The minute sprint has it most of you are gone like me.

The only real life difference will be ics ... and its not worth $200 plus a wasted upgrade to me ... would much rather save it until quad core 2.0 GHz processors WITH ics come out like 3 months after it gets to sprint ...

Actually, I don't want a nexus, or galaxy nexus that is, with those ugly ass on-screen buttons. This phone is better IMHO. Now, if the SGS3 gets released with ICS, I will be even more sure I don't want the galaxy nexus. Touchwiz or no touchwiz. The S line is rock solid, and people that understand that, know that. (TMO's maybe not so much...)
But that's just me.

No sir, i do not. Love this phone, and will for a long while. I'd rather wait for a great ICS rom than jump to worse phone that has it now. But merry christmas!

OP, speak for yourself but owners of the E4GT are smarter then just buying the same phone only with ICS. We need more of an upgrade.

Yeah I know but physical design has to count for something. The nexus fits in the hand just right. Anyway I know its not that serious its just sad to see what HTC and Samsung will do to these phones. Give customers a choice. Most people won't root there phone.
Google has to stop selling out, yeah tons of people have android but probably 90 percent of them don't even know what android can really do.

I can wait.
I need external SD support for my music and movies.
I can wait for devs to ready ICS ROMs, and replace TouchWiz with ADW.
The only thing I would like to have is the HD resolution, but again, I can wait.
My next phone will be a quad-core with HD resolution.
This will probably mean the GS III.

Hey we all can say we can wait but that's easy to say since you don't have a choice. When or if sprint gets the nexus then will see if you wait.
At the end of the day we still have great phones but don't act like the s3 is around the corner knowing sprint it will be September again. And we still don't know what the s3 will have.

Sorry but I have ics on my ns4g and I would not trade this phone to the hardware inferior one just because of ics. I wasn't that impressed with ics. I'm running peter Alfonzo's ics nightly. Everything works on the ROM, so its not because something isn't working. Ics seems slower on the same phone versus 2.3.6. I'd rather take better performance over eye candy.

Same here. I am running aosp's v43 with Ezekeel's Glados kernel on my NS4G and I can wait for ICS on this phone. I have no desire to get the GN at all. From what I have read, the battery and performance is inferior. If people can't wait, there are a couple of great ICS themes to hold you over...

We are not talking about the nexus s as I have tried all those rooms and they are slower because its still very new is it recall fair to compare it this early.
Second this phone the epic and nexus are pretty much the same phone but.
Nexus looks better feels better because its slimmer. On a design point it kills this phone ( this phone is nice too but nexus is an evolution of what phones will be )
And the most important thing is it is a nexus. Is anybody here looking for to touchwiz please tell me. Do you really want Samsung over Google. I trust Google is better with there own software os.
I can't even put a case on this phone or it feels like I am holding a brick. Sorry to say this because I like my phone but its design is like somebody ironed an iPhone flat. And with a case it feels like a HTC phone.

From what I have seen I would have no reason to upgrade from my current E4GT to a nexus just for new updated software.

You can't be serious, so you hate ics or something. I'm not saying this is a bad choice but wow.
I like Samsung making phones not skinning them. I don't even know why Samsung makes touchwiz besides to make people think its an iPhone clone. And now with ics why even waste manpower the best skin is already there.

How are they pretty much the same phone? They are completely different:
Different shape
Different software
Different screen
Different camera
Different processor
Different GPU
Same manufacturer
The two phones couldn't be more different and I'm sorry but the E4GT is superior in almost every regard.

Man you guys are loyal not one person feels this way. Or are you guys still convincing yourselves. I know I was there.
Only time will tell when sprint gets it and I see you guys posting over there in xda how you love your phone. Ilk make a note so I don't forget.
Anyway guys this is a great phone so don't think I'm just being a hater. Been using ics all week on nexus s and played with a few galaxy nexus's. I want ics just how it is but even if you give it to me on this phone will still want the nexus the slimmer profile, curved glass, 720p, onscreen buttons and its pure Google. I'm sorry but I can't defend the epic against that.

IMO it's not about being a "hater". Sure ICS is sweet, and it would rock to have a Nexus Galaxy, but to spend the cash(1k according to OP) just for a phone upgrade is something in the likes of greedy little kids with the latest toys. It just doesn't make sense given we all have great phones.
The specs on our phones are great, so unless someone can jump on for cheap it just doesn't make sense. If Sprint got it people might be more interested but paying ETF + whatever it'll cost is just silly to do for essentially an OD update.

Your input SGS3 to buy or not?

Father's Day is coming, so is the S3 and Evo LTE. My contract expired in April and I'm eligible for an upgrade. So my wife asked me, do you want me to gift you the S3...
I am perfectly happy with the S2 and beside the NFC of S3 I'm not too thrilled. The question is: (a) get the S3 or wait for something special might pop up around Christmas time?

I would get the s3. Even just to play around with on wifi if you want to use your e4gt still. I plan to do this, as I get (ok) wimaxx but am not anywhere near any of the first roll out areas for lte. Just my suggestion. This phone is great, but I want to play with that new too lol. If you are near lte tho then it is no question. S3 imo.

there already a few threads open about this fellas..

It's the next "big thing" so I would get it unless you are considering the iPhone 5. You could always get it and sell it on Craigslist for like $600 and keep your S2.

I don't know, the ET4g and sprint in general have left a bad taste in my mouth with radio issues... I'm thinking my next phone will be a HTC or maybe a moto.

I think the new evo is a great phone, hardware and screen are great. Just the ui and HTC in general is not my style. The wife has HTC though, and loves it. So I'll get to play with both on July 1st when our upgrades are eligible.

Man I would LOVE those speeds. I'm at around 3.5-4.5mbps on a good day. 3g is horrid tho, under .1 sometimes, as high as .4 rarely. In the process of reading up on the PRL tweaks tho, that should help a lot on my 3g. But I'm that guy that reads everything about stuff before I try it, so I'm slow

My strategy is, IF I get the s3 (kinda doubtful), the decision that would make the most sense, would be to WAIT until LTE is fully deployed and active in your area. If not, you will be stuck on 3g for quite a while until it happens, whenever that might be. Don't be in a rush. I know how hard that is to practice when you're a xda kind of person, but that makes the most sense to me on many areas. So many people are very frustrated with 3g performance lately, it wouldn't be logical to force yourself into that mode for god knows how long. For me, the deal breaker is the camera with the not such a big deal improvements done to it. Yes, faster camera is better but no substantial improvements with low light, better f stop, I will pass. When I had it, I loved the iPhone 4s camera, but the cons outweighed the pros IMO. Even if you have to wait up to another year for LTE, the s4 might be around then and I would hope that one would be a lot better than the 3. With my experiences with a couple of htcs, they are too temperature sensative and prone to hardware failure issues when compared to all the samsungs I've owned. I'm not a Samsung fan either, I've just had much less problems with them and they're much easier to do custom things to like rooting and roms.
Besides, you said it yourself, you're happy with what you have already. Also, pentile s3 screen, eww.

Well if you know you want that phone get it asap so your new contract starts being used asap.... Means new upgrade sooner down the road. I just got mine in October or whenever the iphone came out. Personally the s3 and the galaxy nexus are the only two phones that I would consider over the et4g. As you can tell I am alittle partial to Samsung as all my previous phones who weren't Samsung I've had problems with excluding the HTC sensation

I remember when my Evo 4G was brand new almost 2 years ago. It was the thinnest phone I had used at that point. It was so fast and perfect at everything. Putting MIUI on it made it even better. I've had my GS3 for a week, and I can't believe how old my Evo 4G feels when I use it now.
Oh, well. On to bigger and better things.

I had the EVO 4G and the EVO 3D.
SGS3 is rooted a few days later from June 21. Now running Blazer rom and ICS Domination Theme.
Rom dev is kinda slow around here but this phone is not even a month old here in US. MYN is developing some Warm Roms for this phone.

When you go into these forums there's no way you can avoid thinking about these things. It's quite addictive. Rooted my phone even before custom roms were available. Lol.

Got my OG back in March of 2010, loved that phone, by far the best I ever had (hell just look at my name) , flashed a new rom on it weekly. The first week after getting my SG3 I am like...what evo?

I had my evo for 2 years and I still can't part from it when I got my s3. I'm going to make it my mp3 for my car. Lol
Yeah I'm still running stock with root on the s3. Just waiting on myn and his team

I've been debating the switch, but I love the Sense dialer, HTC widgets, and the keyboard that has directional arrows. Playing with the GS3 at the store didn't impress me that much. I know it has far better specs, but the UI didn't grab me.

Am I the only that is still passionate about their OG? Its separation anxiety. I just got my S3. Can I ask you guys since I am already here, any of you guys worried about flash counter? I had my S3 for less then 4 hours and I am itching at the fact that I did not root it yet.

I too was worried on the 1st day, then was over it and rooted the next day. Threw on TB and Droidwall and froze a lot of the bloat. Ran really smooth. Personally, I knew I wasn't going to keep the phone stocked forever. Sooner or later, its going to get rooted. In regards to the what if I need to return, my personal experience returning rooted phone thru sprint rep over the phone is a whole lot ez'r than instore rep's.

Don't let the launcher/dialer/widgets/keyboard keep you from a great phone. All those things are fixable; you can download third party apps to replace them. Check out the Go launcher/dialer/contacts/widgets/keyboard. There are plenty of options out there besides Go, but it's a good place to start. Seriously, the phone kicks so much butt.

[Q] You're no longer who you think you are!!!

Howdy!! I'm Soap, and owner of the amazing og Epic 4g running 4.1.1. I was on Sprint site hoping for a pre-order for the Note 2 when I saw this:

What do you think about the change?
Does it matter?
Is that the end of the Epic line?
Will there be an Epic 3?!
:cyclops::cyclops:

Probably sprint distancing themselves considering the legal trouble in re: apple.

Official Sprint support for the OG Epic is going. They are not longer issueing updates for it (IE Official ICS/JB) she stopped at GB (2.3.6 I believe) I just recently left the OG Epic to the touch (got a good deal on it) So Galaxy's are still good to go.. not even worried about Legal issues.. they are still slinging the S2 and S3 so jump on one if you like... (S2 should still be getting a an update, but not 100% sure) Hope this helps clarifiy.
This is only my thoughts on this.. not an official statement by anyone important, just how i understand it to be coming from the OG Epic side of XDA and folks on there..

Are you implying that the form should be renamed to Sprint Samsung Galaxy S II SPH-D710?

Sprint is done with "EPIC" as samsung will not make carrier specific modifications as in EPIC and EPIC 4G TOUCH. Galaxy SIII is just Galaxy SIII.

Welcome to the collective.
Dead Trigger was one of the first apps I got. Very tempted to get Need for Speed: MW.
Wallbase to look at nice pictures and test out the screen.

You wont regret it, i made the same switch as you did!
This phone has a ridiculous amount of potential.

I'm thinking of getting this phone as a second phone, but unfortunately I think this phone will only have potential and developing for it won't quite take off which is why I haven't pulled the trigger.

Why do you believe that to be the case when it's nearly identical to the Nexus 4 and the bootloader has already been unlocked?

Patience is a virtue my friend, and you do have choices. I see the progress being made with the boot loader and root, as well as an AIO tool already completed, man once these roms get rolling you'll regret not having one.
The choice is yours my friend.

Should I buy the Optimus G?

I was thinking about getting the evo lte but I'm now leaning more to the optimus. Is it really that good?? I'm coming from using an evo 3d...
I really want to get it but I'm still not sure.. Thanks for the help..

As of right now my opinion is this. The phone is solid. The corners are kind of harsh. The hardware is fantastic. Surprisingly from what I have heard in the past on LG the ui is pretty good.
At the moment it has the best specs on Sprint period.
Now, when our comes to development, we will have to wait and see. It is the 4th highest selling Android oem on the 3rd largest provider. From that it is easy to say the S3 on At&t gets more attention. This will also never get the following of the Nexus. But, it does have development.
I would get it. You can also wait for the Flossy seal of approval if you like.

I got the EVO LTE and returned it for this beauty. I only miss the kickstand. This phone flies while the EVO froze.

This phone is awesome, I've played Need for Speed Most Wanted, Dark Knight Rises,Asphalt 7, Minecraft, and Modern Combat 4, this phone flies, it gets really hot that's the only issue but that doesn't affect performance at all. Stock UI is surprisingly nice. Screen is amazing. Development hasn't been good but I have no doubt that Roms, Kernels, and Mods will come with due time.

Just bought this beast an hour ago, already rooted and transferring my stuff from my Epic 4G. I compared the LG Mach because I didn't want to give up my physical keyboard ( :crying: ) but in the end the dual-core vs. quad-core was no comparison! Plus, $99 at Best Buy was a steal (Sprint store wouldn't price match).
Like going from a Yugo to a Ferrari!

Switched from AT&T and the Motorola Atrix 4G to Sprint and the LG Optimus G and so far, I haven't regretted switching from AT&T to Sprint and from the Motorola Atrix 4G to the LG Optimus G. Can't wait for JellyBean on this phone. Decided to switch to Sprint since Sprint is the only carrier that now offers truly unlimited data.

Just nabbed the last one today @ BB for $99! Loving it so far. Was originally gonna get the Note 2 but the price won't drop. I couldn't resist this deal. Looking forward to the ROMS!

Got this phone yesterday, traded my s3 for it. Loving it so far, since I've hated the S3 as soon as I got it. Evo LTE was nice too had it for 2 months but the 1gb of RAM was killing me with Sense.
Haven't tinkered with it yet but thinking of just stock rooting just for getting rid of the Ads.
