Try to use a friends Tmo-GS2. If you don't mind the lines then buy it, if not, you will get really annoyed from the lines.

its a great phone, with proper hspa+ you should get well over 20mbps in the states
ics for 2012 is confirmed..
the tmo gsII is better than the amaze in my opinion but if tmo had the rezound I'd be using that honestly

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
Is it easy to root this phone?

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?

No real point in upgrading to a sprint lte phone right now as there is no lte towers. You will be stuck with sprints slow 3g. Best to stick with the e4gt until the galaxy siii comes out.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
You are right. However in my house I have no 4G except upstairs window. When home just keep wifi on and use my own internet. Even 3G and calls iffy in house. Without my Airwave my phone would be a brick most of time. Hope so called Network Vision improves coverage. I have no idea when lte is turned on if that will be any better than my current wimax 4g.

Have you played with both phones at the same time. Also are you bored with your phone? These are reasons to upgrade and of course do YOU think its worth it to you to upgrade. I have seen I love Gnex threads and I returned my Gnex threads, at the end of the day its really your preference. Go to Best Buy and check them all out... Jus' My Opinion
or you could just search one of the other 40 threads about the exact same thing!

I made a thread about this the other day too because I have an upgrade so I went down to the sprint store and played with the Gnex and I dont know if there was something wrong with that one or what but it ran like ****! Force closes everywhere, could not get facial unlock to work. I just installed ICS Hydra rom on my E4GT and it runs SOOO much better than the Gnex. I also talked to a sprint employee and they said the E4GT is far superior. I wouldn't do it!

Anyone have both or have used both? I'm debating on which one to get. I can get a used sg2 for 200 or a evo design for 300. If I get the sg2 I'm flashing it to boost. But the design just came out and it's 300
Sent from my SPH-M930BST using XDA
Are you sure the evo design cause thats been out a while the evo lte is the most recent release between the sg2 and evo design definitely the sg2. If you meant the evo 4g lte not sure boost is getting lte service anytime soon thought they were going wimax. Seems a waste to me just my 2 cents.
Evo design is mid tier, like the conquer. Gs2 hands down.
Evo design is single core, but it does GSM for outside the US. GS2 is a damn speed demon (I've owned one) and it's as fast as the newer quad core phones. It will chew up and spit out anything you throw at it. Not to mention it has an amazing camera.
My girl friend has the evo design don't get that phone.

Evo Design is even worse than the Evo3D! Don't do it. You're saving a few bucks going with the GS2 and a few headaches too..

Evo Design is a new 4g wimax phone for Boost. Epic Touch(GS2) is by far the better phone. I have mine flashed to boost and it works great!
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
My wife has the design, and it's a decent phone-IF, you don't want to do a whole lot to it as there's not much of a community supporting it. Plus with the gs2 being $100 less, shoot it's a no-brainer!

Yeah true. I'm planning on getting it flashed to boost. I have the Samsung transform ultra now and a epic 4g.

S2 wins no doubt.
I've had both. I had the Evo Design for 3 weeks and decided to add another line for my daughter. Guess who got the Design and who got the SG2? Give you a hint....my daughter was pis** ed
I currently have both of these phones. Don't ask why, I just do. I got the Evo Design because it was free at the time when I started my contract and I didn't know a lot about phones at the time. The Evo is a good phone for a lower level device, it has a pretty nice and bright screen and I like HTC sense interface better than touchwizz. HOWEVER, I am a recruiter so I do alot of work on my phone on the go. The design could not keep up with the speed I needed as well as the screen size was crippling, but the touch excels in both of those categories by far. I got tired of the small screen and the lagginess of the evo, it felt outdated the second I got it so after two months I went to the sprint store looking for something better. I asked the guy what the best phone he had was and he took me straight to the epic 4g touch. I played with it and fell in love. The screen is huge compared to the design and the dual core processor makes it stupid fast compared to the design. The camera is better, the screen is bigger and more sharp, more applications are supported on it, the battery lasts longer and there is SO MUCH MORE developer support for the epic 4g touch as well. I don't think the design even has it's own section here. Hands down between the two mentioned, the epic 4g touch is a WAY better option for the money. If there are any other questions, feel free to ask.

I gave up, I saw that the HERO S is basically the same phone, but all of the threads I found on rooting were sketchy and complicated. Nothing like the "oneclicks" over here. My design stays off in a drawer unused. I use it every once in a while for giggles but that only lasts a few minutes until I have withdraws and start twitching for my touch.
Yeah, same story here...plus I don't understand sense for the life of me-locked bootloaders? S-off? It's all too confusing.

The specs of the X2 are a lot better than the DInc2's, so why does everyone dislike it over the DInc2?
Is it because of how hard it is to root?

I don't think that it's the locked bootloader that's the issue since there's plenty of people who use their smartphones without ever rooting their phones. Rather, I heard that the Motorola Droid X2 has a lot of hardware/software issues that always occurs at some point in its lifespan. Specs don't mean anything especially if support is terrible. Some of our wonderful people here in the Dinc2 community can tell you more about it.
this would probably be a better post in android general, as i havent noticed any particular amount of hatred towards other phones in the inc2 subforum
personally though? i wont buy moto devices until the stop encrypting their bootloaders....but even then i hate blur so i probably wouldnt
my take
if you only use aosp: get a nexus device
if you like sense/aosp: get htc device
if you like tw/aosp: get a samsung device
Blur sucks.
I had a Droid x2 it can't play music without pops and cracks drove me crazy. Also can't go into recovery without being plugged in to wall charger. Battery bugs. Random reboots .

I had a DX2 prior to getting the Inc2 and the main reason I switched was the lack of an unlocked bootloader which hampers any kernel modifications and slows down ROM development. However, I will say that the radio in the DX2 was much clearer than the Inc2 and performance (stock vs. stock) was better.
In addition, you can hack the 3G radio in Motorola phones (via the radiocomm utility) which will grant you unlimited wi-ifi tethering via the stock hotspot application without Verizon knowing about it. This is real useful as other tethering programs have limitations (e.g, usb only, need to run in adhoc mode, etc.). This hack won't work with the new 4G LTE phones.

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.

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.

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.
