It appears that the

Galaxy Nexus is right around the corner for Sprint with LTE love.

I'd say it's pretty much confirmed and should be released in the next few months when Sprint's new network updates are completed in those markets. For sure by June this year.

By then the sgs3 will be right around the corner making this nexus a bit outdated.

I will take either as long as LTE is available in Denver and St. Louis by then. Otherwise, sticking with my SGS2.

I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't hit the shelves until May or June.

question on the actual services...
I know our phones won't support LTE, but will they benefit from the 3g upgrades?
I don't do a lot of video streaming so 4g really isn't a big deal for me. If I could forfeit the ability to use it for the $10 a month fee to be cut out, I would

I ran a test last night after updating to radio UGLA4 and was getting close to 10 mbit down, 1 mbit up.
Before the update I was maxing out at about 5 mbit. I'm on Rogers, but the radio is still definitely worth a try.

No change. Thanks though

That is completely abnormal. Ice tested 4 different wind Sims and all of them have been well under 2mbps with 3 of them barely breaching 1mbps and average of around 200kbps up. Tested in Mississauga and Toronto.
I'm with Mobilicity and while coverage is less than with wind I typically get about 2.3-2.5 mbps/300-600kbps up

Try a different tower, try a different server, etc...
You're testing the tower you're connected to, the server chosen, and your phone. In that order.

and for a quick fix you can also call wind and ask them to send your phone a refresh code. Tell them you're not getting any data to avoid answering questions about why its needed and theyll likely do it on the spot. (doesnt necessarily mean this will work)
Also what signal dbm/asu are you getting when youre dl'ing at 600kbps

That's a little low is that four bars? I've still pulled off 1mb plus speeds at that signal strength but I'm typically around -81/16.
You should do what another poster mentioned and test different towers, inside vs out etc. Its also possible that wind is throttling smart phones in an attempt to stimmy data usage but that's just complete speculation.
Outside of trying new radios, or complaining to wind there's not much you can do when it comes to data speeds...there may be some kind of optimization code I don't know about but again, speculation.
I'll say again though that every wind sim I've tested in the gta has had atrocious speeds

Tmobile S3 vs International S3

So from what I know the international has a quad core processer ,less ram and no 4G LTE. The tmobile version also has no LTE which surprised me and it has a dual core processer with 2g of ram.
Also it seems the the international has a lot more roms and rom devs. So what is the honest diffrence cause im a little bummed and kind of wish that I got the international cause it seems to be more popular having more roms and a lot more variety. Also I wouldn't mind have 1GB of ram.
So just wondering whats the difference and is this no LTE thing really true? Also why is there so much more international roms?

Well for one I think you wouldn't get 3g speeds more like edge or 2g. But that the major draw back if you have WiFi everywhere you go 24/7 then you will be okay.

The international version has been out longer. All UK phones are exactly the same so they have more developers. The US has four separate phones on four different carriers so our devs are split up more.
Neither has LTE but neither does T-Mobile so that doesn't matter anyways.
The international version gets EDGE on T-Mobile because T-Mobile uses frequency bands that aren't used in the UK.

no man read the chart! the international GT-I9300 has the 1900MHz band, which is HSPA+ on T-Mobile's network. if you look at the T-Mobile Galaxy S III, SGH-T999, it also has the bands 1900MHz. T-Mobile just recently started the 1900MHz bands pairing with MetroPCS, and that's how my mom's International Galaxy Note N700 is able to have 3G and HSPA+ speeds in the U.S on T-Mobile's network.
and that, is also how the Galaxy Nexus and the Nexus 4 is able to be "Pentaband", also having HSPA+ speeds on T-Mobile's network, because they also have 1900MHz band.

Depressed about the Verizon abandonment for Nexus 4 thread.

I am sad. And alone, so very alone. Well I guess not that sad. But I think it's a bad move to not have a nexus device available on all carriers. Maybe a delayed release will occur?

Considering the small number of people on Verizon that would actually buy a Nexus 4 compared to the sales worldwide, and the disproportionate amount of hassle/hoops Google would have to jump through to offer it on Verizon, I don't think it's that big of a loss to Google.

Heres my thoughts: THANK GOODNESS!!!
All the Verizon Nexus did...and I mean ALL..was give the "nexus" brand of phones a bad name because of their RIDICULOUS update laziness. Anyway, where I live there's no LTE on AT&T or Verizon so I don't really care

The yakjuxx variants were/are SLOWER to update. I guess your memory is selective. It didn't do anything to the Nexus name either. Sprint is slower too, and it gets Nexus devices yet I don't see you *****ing about them.

Dudes like rain man with this $hit

I'm not surprised by the decision but I don't think it has to so with verizon's handling of the galaxy nexus other than the standard blocking of unlocked devices bit that Verizon does. I don't know if I want Verizon to change their ways there, google to work out an unlocked devices deal with them, or Google to give in and just sell a Verizon nexus verizon's way. I guess I just find all the cacophony of U.S. cellphone bands annoying. I could just about survive fine on lte only at this point with Verizon...if they get volte up and running and let me buy such a device. I suppose how unlocked devices will get on eventually...but it feels too far away.

Although, I will say I have been impressed with their service. I get signal in places I never got on T-Mobile. But what's a missed call?

I am also disgusted but their service is too good to leave and they know that. Oh well, maybe 2 years from now it'll all be VoLTE when my next contract is up.

I am relieved that Verizon isn't getting the next Nexus. Verizon's exclusivity and subsequent delay with releasing the Galaxy Nexus late last pretty much ruined the launch of the phone.
Many people had to resort to importing overpriced international models because no unlocked UMTS/HSPA was available in the USA for MONTHS.
Google is doing it correctly for the consumer this time. One phone running a global standard radio at a GREAT price.
I just wish I had $1000 laying around so that I could buy all of the devices they just announced.

First of all, Verizon didn't ruin any launch but their own. The GSM Galaxy Nexus launched before it. If you are GSM, it didn't affect you at all.

Sprint G2

So I've been playing with the sprint version of the G2 for a few days now and once I'm able to put it on my account I'll be rooting it. One problem though... I can't find the sprint section of the G2. Usually xda is pretty quick to have a section up before the phone is released. This phone comes out next week.
Anyone know where I would go for everything on the sprint version? Or am I a little too early... Lol

I'm debating on getting one. The dev support is big to me, but I'm worried we might not get anything.

Picked one up at lunch today from a Sprint employee selling on CL. It wont connect to LTE at my house through my cell booster. S4 and Note2 had no problems connecting to LTE here. When I was in town earlier the G2 had no probs with LTE. I wonder what's different about it.

It has some band 25 issues that will be fixed in an update soon after launch I believe.

Funny you mention that, I just saw it connect to LTE for a split second. The odd thing is the eHrpd speeds are ridiculous compared to my note 2. 1.8mbps, i've never seen it that fast before. I was lucky to see 0.3mbps when it would switch to 3g on my Note 2.

Just ran a speed test on my note2 before I go to sprint to get the G2:
129 ms ping, .47Mbps, and .66Mbps - let's see if the G2 can perform better I won't expect it to, but that would really be a nice surprise.

Anyone having LTE B25 connection issues?

I called Best Buy this morning to see where my phone is, they said it should ship today... He then asked if I would be willing to go to the store and pick one up instead. I said Hell yes, so I just got my confirmation that it would be ready today. Nice customer service for a change!
