Hi guys, I am wondering if the GNex is turning out to be better or worse than the Epic Touch in terms of radio performance and data speeds, dropped calls, etc.
There have been so many complaints about the GSM GNex that I am wondering how good or bad the Sprint version is...thanks.
Also, if anyone coming from the Photon cares to comment on the differences, that would be great too.
WiFi is similar. I'll have a good idea on 3g performance tonight. I only tested the e4gt data at night. Lol

Should you put quotes around "performance" when referring to Sprint 3G?

My Wi-Fi is very similar. At my place my 3g speeds on E4gt are abysmal. Gave my wife my e4gt so I still have it to test. Just ran it in same position in same room. E4gt 366kbps/down 338 kbps/up. Awful. Nexus 2.2mbps/down 750kbps/up. Significantly better.

Wow, that's encouraging.
And what do you think of the screen? How does it look off-axis?
Also, anyone care to comment on battery life?

Battery life is pretty good, but bear in mind most of us Sprint users are on stock.
I got down to 85% with ~40 mins screen on time, watching netflix entire time on WiFi.
EDIT: 720p screen is beautiful!!!! Haven't even tried MHL adapter yet.
Stock rooted flashed a trinit kernel and left the rest alone for now.
Granted not stock kernel....but still shows good =)

Just checked the browser. Stock browser doesn't do this, but I use Dolpin HD and it works fine. Haven't tried Chrome yet.
This is my review.
Overall design is very similar but I like the design of the Galaxy Nexus much better. Both are great phones but in my eyes the GNexus is the better of the two. Despite the talk about a poor GPU this phone runs all the same games as my E4GT with 0 lag and it even looks better thanks to the superior screen. Call quality and all sound is great. The speaker is fine, it just plays louder with better quality audio like it should and if you try to play low quality audio it of course is low volume. I have not experienced any issues with the device in particular and I am happy about my decision to switch. Battery life is great!
If you have any other Sprint device I highly recommend making the switch!

Unless you are in a non 4G area you have to take into account that your area is pushed more of the 3G bandwidth. Now as far as the Galaxy Nexus goes Sprint is pushing more 3G bandwidth to our devices because of the fact LTE is not yet active but don't be surprised when LTE in your area is up that your 3G speeds take a dive. I am in Dallas and my E4GT wouldn't even go anywhere on 3G with even full bars. This device on the other hand flys on 3G but because of what I stated above. The same is true for all iPhone's because they don't have 4G.

Yeah I figured it was a network issue. It was like that on my og epic 4g and could get 4g mist times on it. But I'm assuming that u can't get 4g on the galaxy nexus until LTE is actually turned on correct?

So I have seen new about sprint pushing out an update for our phone starting now. Even though it is EL29 the screen shots are showing a different base band S710.0.5S.EL29 and the EL29 I am on right now is S710.10.S.EL29
so whats the diff? Should I roll back to EG30, and let the OTA go and then root? I ask because I am getting HORRIBLE battery life on EL29 and I mean HORRIBLE!! 8 hour days with less then 2hours of screen on time.... EG30 was 14+ with 4+ screen time....
I'm going to be rolling back to receive the OTA because I'm also experiencing unacceptable battery life!
Uh... why don't you just wait?
Maybe we have a release with debugging turned on...

Yes.
And I'm interested in seeing the changes, if any. It could just mark that it's official and not in testing anymore. Regardless, 4g signal and 3g signal are superb and my battery life is ridiculously amazing on the cirrent el29 setup.
We'll see.

And this is the odd thing. People like yourself are reporting great battery life on EL29, but there are a bunch of us that are experiencing just the opposite. As for signal strength I am not seeing a difference between any rom.

I live in Jersey City, Journal Square area, I used to get very strong 4g as soon as I get ouside my apt ( 9 mb downlad)...In side my apt it used to connect and then immidiatelly disconnect if i move the phone, but since last 2 week not sure what they have done, but even inside my apt I stay connected. So it has became even more solid.
I work at xchange place ( JC) and inside the building where my desk is, can not connect to 4g but as soon as i step out stong 3g as well as 4g.

I think that one of the things that is concerning about accepting the OTA is that it disables the USB jig functionality. You should be able to tell the phone to go to Download mode and then revert, but if we wait for a rooted official ROM (or just use the likely similar EL29s we already have), the USB jig won't break.

Hrm....look like we need to get that modem file then from this update and see since this is the official OTA push that baseband is what other updates are most likely going to be going off from and NOT what we currently have on our phones from the EL29 leak awhile ago.

if you wont be using a ton of 3g data.. id suggest writing a vzw prl and just roaming on vzw while you're there.
imagine if this was what our phones were released with.
Didnt see any definitive threads so sorry if its already been asked.
If anybody can post a screenshot or something that would help
I have the E4GT and the battery and radio are killin it for me. Just bored with the phone and dont wanna wait for other phones to come out and wait for the bugs to arise.
I am only getting about 10 hours of use with moderate use. Low signal is killing my battery.

Either way I dont think you can go wrong with either the Nexus, Evo 4G LTE, or S3. I just want a strong radio and decent battery life. Any of these phones including the E4GT has enough processing power to accommodate my needs. I dont understand why people are so spec happy when they arent even going to be using the phone to its fullest potential most likely. Just wastes battery IMO

Is this true? How can I update my phone now? I don't won't to root I just want apply the factory update like via zip file or something.
My phone keeps picking 3G over 4G. For instance when I go upstairs its 4G but when I go downstairs its 3G. This is so frustrating because I know the 4G signal is still good enough to stay on.
Does anyone know of a way to force LTE only on the Nexus or how to get the MLS Code without rooting? I might be able to adjust it from the inner settings.

You are confusing the L710VPLG8 update that Sprint is rolling out for the Galaxy S 3, a completely different device, with whatever the latest update is for the Galaxy Nexus. (I am no expert on the Gnex, but I was the one who advised you about that firmware version over in the Sprint GS3 General Forum. You posted your question in the wrong forum since it turns out that you actually have a Galaxy Nexus.)
Where the f is your brain... its not even even the same model number. The gnex is the SPH-L700 not 710.... and the latest update is FG01.

I wasn't asking for that exact rom I was meaning where is my equivalent fix because the FG01 is a piece of s***.
So put that in your pipe and smoke it jack a**.
I can be in the same house and get full 4G bars and full 3G bars and I can see the phone fighting to figure out which one and guess what it chooses f-ing 3G.
There must be a sophisticated fix to this.

Have you managed to get it to work? Does it stick, or does it revert back to normal?

I have had three over the air updates since I took my Nexus out of the box. I am finding out that there is a better OTA for people that live in LTE areas. Like LG8 or LG9?
Is this true? How can I update my phone now? I don't won't to root I just want apply the factory update like via zip file or something.
My phone keeps picking 3G over 4G. For instance when I go upstairs its 4G but when I go downstairs its 3G. This is so frustrating because I know the 4G signal is still good enough to stay on.
Does anyone know of a way to force LTE only on the Nexus or how to get the MLS Code without rooting? I might be able to adjust it from the inner settings.
Guys I really need some help here because this LTE experience I am having really blows.

Do you really need 4g on? My understanding is it wastes allot of battery.. just suffer with 3g. Or use Wi-Fi?

Ok so the title is kinda blah but heres my issue. Ive been fighting with sprint to send me a completely different device other then the Epic 4G Touch. Im running 100% stock no root FF18. Long story short I got no laptop to kies my device to FH13 and sprint said they are not releasing the update OTA.
Heres my issues:
Horrible Battery life (2-3 hrs moderator use)
Phone never enters deep sleep (Yes i did a factory reset)(3 times)
Random Apps FCing
Browser is super laggy
4G disconnects randomly
3G lock and freeze
The list goes on and on
Ive heard of a few users getting Galaxy Nexus in exchange for the ET4G. I was offered a Nexus S 4G which is half the phone this device is so I declined that. The rep never gave the option to get a Galaxy Nexus at all.
My question is what did you people say to the rep inorder to get the galaxy Nexus. I just can justify downgrading to a Nexus S 4G.

Honestly if you are jut complaining about battery life then just OC to EL29. It's by far the smoothest build on our phone. And trust me I have a Nexus and the battery is still sketchy and ICS is still laggy on the Nexus.

I haven't tried it myself, but mobile Odin runs on your phone, so it should work for you.
You can't use someone's computer to use kies to get the ota? Maybe the library? A school.

If they told you they not releasing FH13 OTA then what is this? Obviously reps don't know nothing as always.

I get awesome battery life on fh13 and I did on ff18. The only thing I did was a data wipe/factory reset and wiped cache partition in recovery after the update, then I updated pro and profile. I can get over 24 hours on a charge. I also heard fh13 isn't being pushed to new people it has to be done through kies, not sure if its true.

I'm getting very close to el29 battery on fh23. Also fh13 was better than ff18 and should give you better deep sleep results.
They don't ota every phone at the same time, it's usually spread over two or more weeks. Wait and eventually you will ota to fh13. You may be able to get flashed at a sprint repair store but idk so I'd call and find out.

Ive done 3 data wipes. To no avail. I get 3-4 hours of moderate use. FF18 was the biggest mistake sprint and samsung ever did for this device. God I miss EL29

I'm in Hilliard, OH and of the last 3 speed tests I just ran, I ended up with 60-100KB/s down and the best upload I could muster was 6KB/s.
You get what you pay for, I guess...
Using CM, i get very low averages. Using Sense, I get a little higher on the averages. about 200KB more, but it feels alot faster than that. Even when I have 1 bar reception. Virgin Mobile isn't to bad with speeds. But hey, you get what you paid for.
Not really what I'm paying for. Straight talk in my area averages 3 to 5mb on super slow devices. For the same price. Imagine a device with a fast modem. HSPA+ looks nice right now. :thumbup:

1.How much data do you use per month on avg?
2. How on earth could you use such slow data and still be productive?
3. How fast is your's?
I was wondering the same thing, especially since they reduce speeds after 2.5GB. How "insane" are your speeds?
I stay around 20kbps but I use 10-15 gigabytes a month. I have no home internet so I have to use this. I only pay 25 for my phone so that's why I just stick with it. I don't currently have a job and I can't afford to go to a carrier that will kick me from the network if I use too much data

Isn't 20kbps really slow? Correct me if I'm wrong.
Sent from my Full Android on PrimoC using xda premium
Its slower then dialup which is 54kbps. DSL is .1-1mbps depending on load which is 25 to 98 percent slower. Its all I have though. No home internet. I hear straight talk stories how you get throttled there too and actually get kicked off the network and loose your number. T-Mobile is the same speed after 100mb which I went through in 10 minutes before. So really because of my housing location. I'm doomed to slow interwebz
Sent from my One V using Tapatalk 2
That's why I left Virgin Mobile, t mobile has many different plans on prepaid they have 2 plans with 5GB and one with 2GB and then the 100MB. I am on the T-Mobile really unlimited plan. Only half way through the month and used 7GB... I can't see how you use 25GB of data with those speeds I don't even use 10 with 20/Mbps(yeah hspa+42 is pretty awesome)

Last year when I year when I was still rocking the triumph my speeds varied from 10/kbps to 1/Mbps with an average of about 250-500/kbps. I doubt much has changed especially since there is no wimax in my market

How did you do a payment plan for the gs3? That may be an option for me if I ever decide to switch... is the $30/mo. plan still available and is it worth it?
Oh also, how much was the gs3? just curious thanks!

Actually a decent idea. As far as that goes, when I get a little extra cash (no income tax since I get paid by personal check) I would definitely buy a 64GB usb drive and mail it to you out there in TN, simon. That would be my donation for your service.
