Twiz is the only reason we don't have ics.

The reason it will probably be June is because Samsung is redesigning touchwiz so the next phones to launch also have it. I even think Samsung either has to release it soon or its going to be a long time. Once the nexus is out it is too late. Once the sg3 is out its way too late.
This may be the better phone but I don't even care at this point Samsung always does this crap. It could actually go till September. Point blank I am only buying nexus phones from now on or going to another os. Plus I love how the nexus feels and looks.

You argument is a bit premature. Last time I checked only one non nexus device has been updated and that just happened yesterday. It was a tablet too, not a phone. Other than the Nexus devices there is not one single ICS phone being sold that I am aware of. So, you can be mad a Samsung all you want. But, they aren't the one changing the OS every 6 months. There has been 19 Android updates in the 3 1/2 years Android has been available.
You are also not remembering Ice Cream Sandwich has been updated 3 times in 3 months and it still is having problems.
I wouldn't mind a nice update once in a while to keep things fresh. But, Twiz is not the only reason we don't have ICS. If that were the case these leaked roms wouldn't be floating around.

Have some faith in our awesome devs. If it weren't for them, you would be sitting on a stock rom right now.

Galaxy Nexus coming to sprint is why we wont have ISC for a while. Why would sprint give it to us before the release of G-nexus the first ICS phone? They want you to buy it not get yours upgraded, lol. Its sprint this time not sammy

Yeah most of us will buy a nexus. And the reason its upsetting is because April is a long time from now. And most of the Android phones are HTC and Samsung. Both of these companies are pretty slow to update.
Just watch somehow Samsung will release a phone with ics before this one gets it. Anyway wmim happy sprint is getting the nexus. My gf can have this phone and my dad can get the nexus s which also has ics on it.

Well to buy a GN is a bad move you will be losing much more then gaining.
The GS3 lte should drop in August that will blow away GN

Considering all of this hype for ICS you'd think that it was about the return of Jesus or something.

Its like this with every update. Gingerbread and Froyo was the same way.
On my Epic mobile phone.

I doubt Sprint will hold back the release of ICS for sgs2. 1, If people use their upgrades then they wont have one for the galaxy nexus unless they use someone elses upgrade. 2, it has LTE which the sgs2 doesnt.

Are we guessing here. We don't even know what the sg3 is and second screw touchwiz. Nexus is the best phone out now. I'll buy an iPhone before a buy another galaxy.
Its nexus or nothing else. Tired of Samsung and their awful radios. The hardware of this phone might be better but I'll take a slimmer phone higher Res and pure Google experience any day over anything Samsung can do. We all know in the end Samsung will screw us and not update the phone or take forever

Only thing better on GN hardware wise is the display.....that's it.
GS2 has better Camera ,Speaker , Battery life , processor- Exynos.
SD card is a plus as well.
Device Performance is the same except for ICS not being 3 party app friendly which is another con.

Galaxy SII or SIII

So I have the original vibrant and I was wondering should I upgrade to the SII for free today or pay for an SIII next week? Any input from the people that have been using it is appreciated! I just don't know if the SIII is worth paying for if I can get the SII for free... Thanks!!!

Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

Ya know, I was a vibrant user, recently upgraded to the t989 and I love it (of course). If you look at the specs on the s3 you're not going to see a huge boost in performance. Slightly different aestethic design to it, a few features that, while pretty cool, are already being provided as mods for the s2, thanks to the brilliant devs here xda.
Another thing to look at is the fact that the s2 has been on the market long enough that its bugs have been worked out and there are endless options for modification.
Last but not least, tmo is offering the s2 for free? Wish we had known that was coming a couple months ago..
If it were my wallet, I'd go with the s2 and use the money on a new BBQ. Good luck with your decision and I hope you enjoy whichever device you go with.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

Yes t mobile is having a sale this weekend only with a mail in rebate. I checked it out on the website and called customer service and they confirmed. I might get the s2 and I can always return it next week if I change my mind. Thanks for the help!
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium

Really I just want something faster and 4g and a better camera. What's your opinions on how the s2 performs in these categories?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium

s3 is a great phone and you should upgrade if you're on the vibrant. I could not justify upgrading from an s2 to an s3 this seems like just an incremental upgrade imo. But from the vibrant the s3 will be a huge improvement.
Honestly the one S if anything seems like the most exciting device(I know I will get flamed). If you can get around not having an SD card(I cant right now but I can see myself giving it up in the future.) I would go with that.

Metal, honestly, the s2 really meets your needs as far as what you're looking for, camera is crystal clear, even with flash in poor lighting. The phone is super responsive, never lags for me and has 4g. Certainly not trying to talk you out of the s3 tho, just saying my experience with the s2 has been very positive.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

The specs of the SII vs SIII aren't too far off. They'll both perform very well (with the slight improvements going to the SIII of course). The one area that is tempting/makes me jealous about the SIII is the screen resolution. That sucker is very crisp, and makes our screen seem rather low-res.
However, having said that the SII sounds like it will meet your needs. It has a fantastic camera, and very high speeds. I'm also not sure if the SIII supports full 42mb/s like the SII does (because of the talk of a unified model), so it may be slower but if someone has more knowledge perhaps they can correct me.
When it comes down to it, it depends if you think it's worth the $200 difference. For me, I'd probably take an SII and call it a day.

Gotta have them on board.

I am not going for s3. May be i will go for next nexus or note 2 when they availble.
There is nothing new in sgs3 I mean this time Samsung did not introduced any thing first time. Many companies already released their phones with HD screen and with quad core processor.
I am expecting something unseen from Samsung but this time they did not.

For those that think its just incremental upgrade, I think not. S4 processor is greatly improved over the S3. It has improvements in battery life and power. See this website of various benchmarks and phone comparisons

The thing about this is ... if u get an s2 or s3 are u gonna run it stock... answer is probably not so next question is do u like touchwiz enough to keep it... reason for asking is that if u plan on running cm9, or aokp then the difference between the two is minimal I'd say the s3 obviously is gonna outperform the s2 but in day to day use on cm9 and aokp I'd say u wouldn't really be able to tell the difference.

I couldn't agree more. Of course the S3 is faster, but I honestly can't think of applications or situations in which the SII fails me. Sure maybe it will be 2ms faster to load the Homescreen, but we're not talking about noticeable differences. Until software catches up and creates more demanding apps (or perhaps they're out and I just don't want to use them yet), there will not be much differentiation.
I don't see the point of performing an upgrade simply for upgrade's sake. I have a desktop that's aged quite well. The processor is nearly 5.5 years old, and the graphics cards are 4 years old. There are computers that can run laps around mine, but in the end it doesn't matter because all of the programs and games I play run nearly flawlessly at max or near max settings. Sorry if that's OT, but it's the same concept.

Right, I think the question is will it get the full 42mb/s.
I see conflicting information regarding what type of 4g speeds this thing will get (I mean HSPA+ 21 or 42mb/s). Some sites say there will be a T-Mo version, and it may have the fastest quadcore while other carriers get slower ones, and then others say the phone will be unified.
Does anyone have a recent trustworthy link regarding this issue?

The s2 is great. I'd stock with it if I didn't have an upgrade available. But since I do, I'm getting the gs3. The variety of cases alone makes it better for me as I like to use multiple cases and swap them frequently.
Deebo took your bike too?!

Why not wait until the upgrade means more to you? It's not like you lose the upgrade, and it takes 2 additional years to get another.

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.

No they don't. This just means that Samsung is releasing it to the S3, which they already did to the Note 2. The carriers still have to approve it and release it to the devices, so it's going to be a while until the AT&T S3 gets it.

They also had to wait 3 weeks longer to touch their phones. It's a trade-off, for sure. For all we know, that's why Verizon delayed releasing their phone, so they could update the firmware with multiview (and add their bloatware to it!).

I think you'll only really hear people who are anal about rooting their phones, who tend to always complain about stock UI. I've owned HTC phones with stock Sense and Samsung phones with stock TouchWiz, and I've yet to find anything so terrible about either, that I feel I simply must root my phone to replace it. What exactly is so bad about stock UI?? Maybe someone can point some things out to shed a light on what I may be missing due to my ignorance.

If you click back through to the source of the story, they only list the international models, not the carrier specific models. There is no way to know if Sprint will actually make a release of anything. Based on the device being released just last fall, I'd expect more updates, but I'm never assuming anything until a release has a Sprint model number or RDFs start leaking out.

If Samsung can still be working on the outdated Sprint S2 perfecting Jellybean I don't see why they won't work on Keylime for the Note 2 or S3. Probably the last major updates these two devices get but I can see it coming. After all it seems like trying to stay up with updates is what Samsung has been aiming for the past few years. Doing so good at it I just finished reading a forbes article were even they give props to Samsung for keeping up with updates better than others.

Lol. One of the many, many reasons why I won't but htc ever again! But again like I said the sprint epic touch is one is the last to get jelly bean. It still hasn't but the rest of the world had so yeah I wouldn't and don't expect 5.0 for us sooner than others. It simply won't happen. Never has. But I'm good with the many leaks I'm used to. Hope it continues.

Every phone I have had with Sprint going all the way back to the Samsung Moment was incredibly slow at getting updates.

Well get key lime pie for our l900's we might be last to get it but who cares. Even if sprint don't officially release it, our talented devs can hook us up with some anyways.

Very true. But lately Sprint has been on a roll when it comes to updates. At least we get updates faster than big red phones. Definitely looking forward to see what more amazing things this phone can do.

How are we going to be last? I believe the galaxy S 2 has jb already on sprint. Not officially but team sextape hooked it up. It works amazing on my epic touch. People on the other carriers are still waiting. And like I said earlier the Sprint galaxy s3 received JB first as I recalled. I know sprint and samsung came out with updates late in the past, yet, you can't ignore their recent efforts.

Yes I totally agree with you. Team sextape is amazing and has blessed us with multiple builds on our e4gts But, multiple s2s around the world in many different regions have already had this update pushed out by way of OTA and WE HAVE NOT. Hence why we are last. And will always be LAST. Even Canada has pushed it out and Sprint has not. We only make up so many users on Xda. Most users do not even know what sextape is lol. So that's why we are saying we are last... Because we ARE!

II see your point but I was comparing Sprint to other Us carriers. When it comes to international updates we are far behind unless you have an IPhone. Either way Sprint is getting better when compared to other us carriers.

Agreed. Sprint has gotten better as far as in the US. And like we have mentioned.. We have sextape lol. I've had jelly bean on my e4gt since November of last year. Who the hell knows when it will actually get pushed now with the talk from Sammy about 4.2. But leak they should so for us it really doesn't matter.
