From what I've read the One series of phones is coming to the US with duel core only not quad. So honestly it's up in the air.

Yeah I just don't like (personal opinion) Quall and have not for awhile. That and benchmarks don't really show much for everyday use of a phone. Sure the One X looks good but honestly the G2's been great everyday regardless of other speeds in phones.

No, I see that. I just don't understand why you would want to be loyal to a manufacturer. You gain ABSOLUTELY NOTHING from that.

Nothing to do with being loyal at all. Every phone I've had till the GS2 was HTC (that I personally owned) But I've used other phones on loan for a few days and just never liked them. I have a unique case where I goto school at a Tech college most of the guys I hang around are phone junkies so we all get to mess with each others phones for days on end. The GS2 was my first Samsung in years and I've been happy with it if the GS3 is worth it right now even with the few issues I'd most likely still get it (if it's worth it)

Looks pretty nice but I happy with my epic touch for now. Especially on my $25 a month virgin mobile plan

Just search around there are plenty of threads on how to port the epic touch and other phones to virgin mobile and boost mobile. Process is pretty easy but you need a "donor" phone thats already activated on either of those networks. Also virgin mobile sadly doesnt offer the $25 plans any more. They bumped the price up to $35, but still a good deal. I got lucky to hop on the $25 plan and grand father it over.

Nice KIRF.

Definitely not for Sprint, and 99% sure it is fake. Lmao

I'm sorry.. (no I'm not)...but if that THING is the GALAXY SIII. Then I PASS! That thing is hideous. Look at your E4GT....now look at that. Or just look at that while ON your E4GT.... There is no way in hell I'm gonna consider that as an Upgrade.

I highly doubt that is it, but I really hope Sammy doesn't go that route and get rid of the capacitive buttons on the GSIII. The persistant on screen buttons are the WORST design decision Google has made with Android and I refuse to buy an Android phone without capacitive buttons. That was literally the primary reason why I didn't like my Gnex. I've got my eye on the HTC One X with that badass S4 Krait in it (smokes the Tegra3, I don't know why people are acting like it's a downgrade), and if the GSIII has no capacitive buttons, then my decision is going to be that much easier.

IS SPRINT GETN THE s2 NOTE?

Ive been with sprint for a very long time,customer service is what keeps my buisness with sprint. There awesome in this regard. Cell service sux tho...
More to the point,at&t sux all around were im from. Thats 1 mans opinion. BUT!!! They now have a phone thats caught my eye....the galaxy NOTE! With all its 5.3 in screen glory,its hard to NOT drop sprint like a bad habit and run on over to at&t to accuire this phone. I currently have the epic 4g touch and love it. 4.5in screen is awesome! But 5.3 with a smart pen! Very enticeing...
So,has anyone heard anything about sprint pickin this wicked little phone up? A slightly modified version maybe? Or do we galaxy freaks have to jump ship to get our hands on one? Thanx 4 listening to my yammering
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

There is a rumor sprint will get the rebranded note, the galaxy journal.
5.3 samoled sexiness I'm all over it!!

I hope they do and from what has been said we will

It's been rumor after rumor after rumor with no substantial evidence. I hope Sprint gets it, because I would love to have it, but it isn't looking likely.

LOL galaxy journal....What's next? Galaxy diary?

Yes, they are. It won't be until May 19th or after that. Possibly early June.
Sent from the guy who will never buy Klipsch again.

Like I said before, I'm waiting to see what the s3 will be and what CPU the journal will have. If its a snapdragon like the att version, I will pass on it.

Im sure the day it comes out our friends will find a way to root,rom and otherwise pimp the journal. I want it,im tempted to start a at&t acct just to obtain the dam thing. We have all these leaks and what not,why not a leak about this? Leak a release date

I'm hoping the s3 comes with the S pen. Looks very cool on the Note!

I personally think the Note is too big. A coworker of mine has one, and when she uses it as a phone, it reminds me of the giant cellular phones from the late 80's and early 90's.
Plus, you can't exactly drop it in your front pants pocket without looking like a dufus.

U can't even notice it when its in ur pants pocket u need some quality time with a note its pretty manageable

Wouldn't Early June mess with the EVO launch?

Since it's rumored the L710 is the note maybe some can answer this. Why does the SPH-L710 no longer show up on the Wifi certification site?

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.
Sent from my Blu Kuban powered Epic (4g lol) Touch

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.

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

Angry much? does it affect you directly? Not bashing it and I'm not the only one that thinks its not a worthy upgrade. I've had the gs3 and have first hand experience with it. By the way Ive pointed out good things with it also.

Let's just say the ones like yourself are the minority. I've also had first hand experience with it ( even flashed paranoid android on it for a friend ) the phone is an upgrade. I've done side by side app loading and games run much better too ( dead trigger runs at 40+ fps vs the 20-30 it gets on the t989 ) I don't know what your beef with it is. Seems to me like you're over infatuated wuh this device. Be that as it may its just annoying to read your gs3 bashing in every thread. How would you feel if I did the same as you and belittled the t989 in every thread?? Its just unnecessary.

Exactly why I said he must've been talking about himself lol its cool to have an opinion. Its not cool to keep rubbing it in peoples faces over and over again as he does. Especially when its widely considered false. Anywho back on topic.. I feel like it will be a long while before we get JB. This article is referring to the international. All the gs2 minus the t989 runt have the same exynos/mali 400. Won't that cause some issues in porting if I'm not mistaken? Anywho I hope I'm wrong for all our sakes lol JB has made a lot of headway on this phone but it isn't close to how JB handles on the galaxy nexus. I flash my home girls gnex at least twice a month and it really makes me want to sell this phone and pick up a gnex lol. No bugs and its actually noticeably smoother. That gallery loads so fast and flips through photos so fluidly you'd think there was a quad core CPU in that thing.

As part of the T-Mobile BOGO promotion, I got the Galaxy S II, and my mother, the Galaxy S III. I recommended her to get the Galaxy S III for her first Android smartphone, but then when I went to T-Mobile they said they had a school sale going on, buy their newest 4G phones, and get another selected phone for free (mail in-rebate in the form of a Visa card with the amount you paid for the secondary phone.) While the Galaxy S II is the child of the Galaxy S III, they are almost similar. There is no reason to hate either phones, because honestly I've had the chance to play with both (My SII and my mom's SIII) and they are awesome phones. The SIII has a few more features and slightly better hardware, but isn't that what you pay for?
Edit : Also with Gallery3D I prefer to switch it with the 3RD party application, QuickPic. Uses less RAM, (thus less battery) and to me is much faster. Give it a shot if you're looking for a fantastic image viewer.

None of this has to do with the OP... Seriously, if you think people care about your opinion on a phone, you're in for a rude awakening.

[Moved]Upgrade soon[Help.Plz&Ty]

Hello all!
It'd be nice to get some guidance on my upgrade (Yes, i know some just think.. "aww ****, to hell with all these ppls upgrade posts" so if that person is you, don't bother givin me **** for moving on. everyone does. thanks.)
First of all,
It sucks balls to leave this awesome community.
I've learned a sh*t-ton about my Epic and many other things from some very respected people, who all friggen rock. lol.
Soo, onto my topic & small dilemma.
The upgrade date is Dec. 1st, 2012. Although, I love the style & feel of my Epic, I may be heading towards something a bit different. I have gone down to the Sprint store and checked out some really cool devices but I'm kind of sitting here scratching my head because I'm very picky, luckily though, I was (offf coursee) drawn to the Galaxy S III.
Given its lightening fast 1.5GHz dual-core processors,2100 mAh Lithium Ion battery (9hrs talk time), beautiful (yet kinda big) display (4.8" to be exact), the JB OS, 16/32GB memory, 2GB RAM and other things here and there. Now, the Note II, damn dude, talk about a big display. That one takes the cake. Idk if I could really be happy/satisfied with such a monster display ... 5.5" ?? & I know thats not THAT much bigger than the S III but in hand you'll see the difference.
On the other hand, theS Pen™, 3100 mAh Lithium Ion battery (15hrs talk time), 1.6 GHz Samsung Exynos Quad-core processors alone sounds damn good to me. The only thing that bothers me (obviously) is the bigger display.. So I'm considering other devices because these 2 devices give me a headache sometimes lol.
Anyway, my options & opinions are open for anything.. I'm not tooo picky and my mind is NOT set on just those 2 phones.. I was just throwing them out there because I like 'em both. 
One thing..
Don't even think about mentioning the iPhone's,  that is one phone I'd just piss on nd save the p.o.s as a weapon against the zombies, then let those retards have at it (hopefully piss on it too.)
So, apart from that, I'd like to hear some input from you guys n gals.
&maybe even whoever has upgraded from the Epic and is happy with their pick.. Your wisdom, knowledge & opinions are appreciated! either way its all good so let me know!  Thank you in advance.

Why not still stick with keyboards? America variants of S3 ALL SUCKS to me. Now on market you can have LG Mach, Moto Photon Q and (later) Verizon Stratosphere 2... And if I were you I would definitely first consider a Nexus 4 (all powerful and better than S3, though have to wait for a bit)

Trust me bro my eyes have been open for some decent devices with physical keyboards that have at least like dual processors, so far I haven't seen much.
Prolly because I have Sprint nd Sprint doesn't have the biggest selection of pretty good phones (like the Nexus). I wish. I don't see many disadvantages with getting the SGSIII, imo. But everybody feels different.

Your best bet is still the 2 threads in General that I recommended to you. But the S3 is awesome but you will miss the keyboard for a few months. Samsung seems to have listened and fixed everything we complained about of both Epics S and S2.

Yes I've been reading through those threads the last couple days or so. Its hard to say, because if Id like to keep the physical keyboard then, to my knowledge, I have one choice: Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE. Unless I were to go with the S III. Are you happy with the S III?

I am very happy with the S3. It is light years ahead of the Epic. I will not lie and say I don't miss my keyboard but the voice to text is really very good and getting used to the on screen keyboard in landscape.

Yeah, exactly, on one side of the coin it's new improved technologies and all. Then on the other, there's no keyboard but I figure i'll get used to that.
Kenny, I believe your just the man for guidance here lol. You have great knowledge on this and you switched from the Epic to the SIII. Like I said in my op, I'm looking for input from someone who has done that.
So I suppose i'm asking you if you think the SIII might be the one for me.. ?
Since your happy with the switch and you've been a big help from the start with me.
Thank you.

Plus, I came across this thread: Sprint offers SIII for $49 on Black Friday...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34349652
Although, this is before my upgrade, could I just simply go in and buy the phone and activate it on my upgrade day (Dec. 1st) ??
lol don't really kno how that works.
Thanks.

No. They can't give you that price without an eligible upgrade line. You will get used to the keyboard or lack there of. The phone is truly amazing with 4 times the RAM and 16 times the phone storage plus an available sd card slot. When I got it all I did was root and run stock for a month because if was so damn fast and smooth. You won't be disappointed. Call Sprint to see if you can move your upgrade up a week.

I called and got it figured out. I think tmrw my upgrade will be eligible if I pay the $50. If I send my Epic to them, they said I'll get $28 for it and the $50 will be billed to my sprint account next pay. So, basically, if I go for it, I'll be paying $72 for the early upgrade and a new SIII not bad eh? It sounds like a deal. I can't imagine 4x the RAM lol that is a huge improvement, not to mention the other awesome specs and features that come with it.
It very well may be the SGSIII for me... Hey and if it is maybe Ill be bugging you even more for help
Im sure I'll decide to root it and flash a nice stock rom.

Hmmm...I may release something this weekend over there and let The People support it as they have here. The Epic community are the best.

Outstanding! I knew you'd figure it out, your the mastermind of operations! haha
I LUCKILY received my SIII today, at first they told me they were sold out and I got there an hour after they opened! No one had even gone there and gotten one yet... AND THEY WERE SOLD OUT?! wtf?..
So, since they love me oh so dearly there, they had a couple stashed away and grabbed one for me. Like I said, luckily. lol
I had a question though, maybe you have the answer lol, do you know if the SIII is root-able withoutt Odin via starting the Odin flash counter ? Or should I not worry about it and just buy a usb jig when the time comes?
Thanks Kenny

Use Odin to root then Triangle Away to reset the flash counter.
