Tried to stay faithful due to the Samsung Moment I had before leaving a sour taste in my mouth. It's funny how HTC is the one passing people off these days.

LOL! Coming from 4 different 3d's in less than 6 months. Wasn't going to give HTC another chance after that.

Had the 4g for two years, the lte for 29 days and this here galaxy s III for eleven days I believe.

I remember when my Evo 4G was brand new almost 2 years ago. It was the thinnest phone I had used at that point. It was so fast and perfect at everything. Putting MIUI on it made it even better. I've had my GS3 for a week, and I can't believe how old my Evo 4G feels when I use it now.
Oh, well. On to bigger and better things.

I had the EVO 4G and the EVO 3D.
SGS3 is rooted a few days later from June 21. Now running Blazer rom and ICS Domination Theme.
Rom dev is kinda slow around here but this phone is not even a month old here in US. MYN is developing some Warm Roms for this phone.

When you go into these forums there's no way you can avoid thinking about these things. It's quite addictive. Rooted my phone even before custom roms were available. Lol.

Got my OG back in March of 2010, loved that phone, by far the best I ever had (hell just look at my name) , flashed a new rom on it weekly. The first week after getting my SG3 I am like...what evo?

I had my evo for 2 years and I still can't part from it when I got my s3. I'm going to make it my mp3 for my car. Lol
Yeah I'm still running stock with root on the s3. Just waiting on myn and his team

I've been debating the switch, but I love the Sense dialer, HTC widgets, and the keyboard that has directional arrows. Playing with the GS3 at the store didn't impress me that much. I know it has far better specs, but the UI didn't grab me.

Am I the only that is still passionate about their OG? Its separation anxiety. I just got my S3. Can I ask you guys since I am already here, any of you guys worried about flash counter? I had my S3 for less then 4 hours and I am itching at the fact that I did not root it yet.

I too was worried on the 1st day, then was over it and rooted the next day. Threw on TB and Droidwall and froze a lot of the bloat. Ran really smooth. Personally, I knew I wasn't going to keep the phone stocked forever. Sooner or later, its going to get rooted. In regards to the what if I need to return, my personal experience returning rooted phone thru sprint rep over the phone is a whole lot ez'r than instore rep's.

Don't let the launcher/dialer/widgets/keyboard keep you from a great phone. All those things are fixable; you can download third party apps to replace them. Check out the Go launcher/dialer/contacts/widgets/keyboard. There are plenty of options out there besides Go, but it's a good place to start. Seriously, the phone kicks so much butt.

There's a couple options for ICS. SBrissen's CM9 build with SteadyHawkin's FB17 kernel is almost flawless, minus USB hosting.
Calkulin has a Touchwiz based ICS leak from Sprint/Samsung that works pretty much perfectly.
To the OP: Congrats man! You're gonna love the phone. You got here just in time for the serious development to pick up.
Congrats don't scratch it so you can sell it when the nexus comes out. Lol joking.....kinda
Anyway incipio feather case black best case ever I drop this phone almost everyday no fear.

I just got an E4GT from a buddy last week. I miss the kick stand, but enjoying everything else. I wonder if it seems so much faster due to dual core or if the Xynos processor is just that much better than the Snapdragon.

So far GREAT phone, The "Hello Galaxy" is like Siri. Cool trick, not sure if I'll keep it though. Boot speeds, snappiness, damn near everything's looking good.
Thanks all for the regards. I was on a waiting list for 2 months to get my EVO 4G and would hate to send it out to pasture.
So what have all of you done with your old EVO's and other smart phones, now that its about that time for most upgrades? Keep it around for games etc? Miniature tablet for the coffee table? Just curious...
I have evo 4g and it has battery issues
also it has started hanging lately, not behaving well
I would like to have s2
I am eligible for upgrade but dont want to shell out 300$ for 2 phones
Welcome, congrats on your upgrade.. Happy flashing to ya

Sorry to hear that, are you Rooted? Once you have root check out this script, it helped my Evo4G tremendously. My Evo runs Miui ROM; But there is a script for Sense and AOSP:

I bought a few after market batteries from Amazon for my Evo, 1900mah and i've not had a problem at all with battery.
Hope that helps. What will you do with your EVO once you do upgrade?

[Q] You're no longer who you think you are!!!

Howdy!! I'm Soap, and owner of the amazing og Epic 4g running 4.1.1. I was on Sprint site hoping for a pre-order for the Note 2 when I saw this:
Code:
According to the Sprint site
[ATTACH]1343850[/ATTACH]
[FONT="Century Gothic"][COLOR="red"][SIZE="5"]it seems this phone is no longer Epic.[/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT]
What do you think about the change?
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.

Agreed! This is only the 2nd Epic I've needed, I drowned the first one. I'm using my upgrade to get my wife the Note 2 & keeping both our OG Epic's as wifi devices. Maybe then I'll finally sell back the only working Moments I ever owned!

Nice, I found my Epic Touch (S2) for $50 on Craigslist... Loving it.. I'm going to upgrade to the S3 later this year/early next year probaly, but wanted to mess with something different for now. Mom took the OG Epic inplace of her Photon. lol.. I'll prolly sell back this thing when i upgrade. It'll eat some of the cost.
So any idea if there will be another hwkb device? Or is it touch screen from now on? I remember something on the CM9 blogspot about the masses calling for another device with a full layout.

I agree with you. I was a little skeptical at first about going to a phone with out a keyboard, because all my previous ones had a keyboard. I actually like it a lot better, don't get me wrong though I do miss it sometimes lol
I just see friends (with out swype) struggling to enter text as I just smash words at about 45 WPM!! I don't think I could be happy without all my extra working parts
I thought i wouldnt be. But honestly, keyboard on the touch wih the larger screen isnt that bad.

Goodbye my fellow E4GT brothers and sisters

I have left the Epic 4GT for a Galaxy Note 2. Ever since ICS came out for the E4GT, it just ruined my phones experience. An update I was once so eagerly awaiting, turned out to be a Trojan horse (literally) in a frozen treats disguise.
After enduring countless frustrations (4G not working, crashes, unreliable wifi, horrible battery life, etc, etc, etc...) I left the device. After biting the bullet and paying an early upgrade fee, and selling my old POS E4GT back to Sprint, and all their other fees and bla bla bla, I paid $501.17 to get my new phone. (And that's after I got taken again by Sprint in selling them back my old E4GT for a measly $90)
Honestly, the phone was good until the update, and I suffered for months until I just couldn't bear it. And it sucked because I switched from AT&T after having the iPhone 3G, 3GS, and 4. I was so happy to get my first Android phone, it was such a let down once ICS was pushed to it. The only good thing that came out of owning that peice of ****, was that I met some really cool, and amazing people on this forum that taught me a lot. Honestly, you guys were the ONLY good thing that came out of buying that phone. Aside from that, my phone experience was abysmal.
Now I wish you all luck, and I'll miss you guys. But I'll stop by from time to time to drop in and take a peek. I wish you all well, and hope to see you again in the future.

Good luck bro! Best wishes to you. I have to agree as well, the ICS experience with this device ruined it for me as well. After using ICS on my current Galaxy nexus, i can see what real android is without issue.
Good luck. You probably could have gotten about $100 more if you had sold it on eBay.

No offense to the devs but the roms right now for ics is still the same as the stock ics update just theme and modded but the super elestic scroll still there and well the battery well everyone uses their phone different so not to much tweaks will help. Aosp roms are the only best ones out for the e4gt but to me until JB source is out it isn't going to be a complete rom even though I notice chris and the rest of the crew are doing a great job but like the op I also got tired of waiting and got a note 2 yesterday and I must say its a better huge upgrade I dont regret it at all and this new touchwiz is the **** like I really love it.
Folks that think that the note 2 is not a big upgrade I disagree dont knock it till you try it cuz I think its a big upgrade and battery life is omfg amazing I got the phone with about 56% life on it and this is what I finished with so imagine at full charge .
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
I had a pretty good experience with my Spring Galaxy S2 until recently. I never had any major issues on ICS except for bad battery life. When I needed my phone the most, during Hurricane Sandy, my battery began to swell and my phone would randomly turn off. I fixed this by buying a new battery but a few days later my power button crapped out. This phone was great for the first year but I think it's also time for me to jump ship to the Galaxy Note 2.
Now with that said, the Note 2 does look awesome. At least when I'm eligible for an upgrade, the Note 4 will be even cooler.

I had the best battery life after the second OTA update on unrooted stock FH13. After I rooted my phone I couldn't find any ROM that had nearly as good of battery life. It used to last more than 60 hours on FH13 with very light use before I rooted it. Now I can only get around 50 hours on CM9 and at most 40 hours on JB ROMs, still on very light use. Not too bad I guess and at least I could modify a bunch of stuff when it's rooted.
yea Blazer or caulk was the Best Rom for Me On the e4gt IMHO. But me I Just Wanted Something New But to me The Way The e4Gt is going it Isn't Worth Staying on it for 2 years.

It is cooler and better because theres no huge development community yet but if you look at it that phone really is too perfect unless you need root for small little things. I also still follow this community since I past this phone to my lil brother and I have to do everything for him when it comes to flashing and such but thats my only reason if not I'll be busy not following no community for the meantime and just enjoy the hell out of my note 2 since I really dont need much tweaks at all.

I'm really torn between getting the Note 2 or waiting to see what's next. I would of rather waited a year but my E4GT is almost unbearable to use.
Idk why I can't quote your post but that is true
I know I've rooted mine already even though the phone was perfectas stock.. The unlimited multi view, youtube download, and getting rid of bloat had me sold

I feel you on this and you should always consider the right move for yourself but some folks would be like meh e4gt to the note 2 really isn't worth it they rather wait but to me its worth it depending on the situation I have responsibility but heck when the s4 comes out and I want it ill just sell my note and put the differences its that easy for some folks and well it aint for others and those are the ones that would say meh its not worth upgrading from the e4gt to the note 2.
Once I saw lte in my area and it was being tested by my job and by my house I finally made the jump since lte is around the corner for my area and this device is pure beast and I dont regret it at all but if folks are used to wimax and not sure when they will receive it well its a different story but you just have to play your cards right when deciding to make a move.

I myself was in the same situation kinda.. Torn to wait.. I myself just made the jump because everything is really a big waiting game with something new always coming out.. And after a while, in my opinion, the specs on these phones are just going to look good on paper.. A lot of apps don't even being to tap into the full capability of the phone .. That was my mind set so I just jumped ship since I missed out on the first note..
Just my thoughts

You guys need to try lightweight and recalked. Best 2 Roms which are very close to stock and lightweight only themes the bare things. If you guys want to switch to newer phones, that's fine but don't blame the device and Roms available. It feels somewhat of an insult to all the awesome devs even though I know you guys don't mean it. Just my 2 cents.
Also almost every goodbye thread has some sort of complaint in it..

Why should it be an insult to the devs? The devs wasnt the ones that had sent sprint this screwed up ics update remember it was samsung, the devs just been doing something they love and tryed to fix most thing's that sammy couldn't. I cant speak for all but my main turn off is the elastic super scrolling crap that to me its the biggest turn off and when i find something unattractive im sorry but I don't take one for the team lol. I know some folks got acustom to the fast scrolling since the leaks but for me its a big turn off when I go to sites or apps and when im really not flicking my fingers or putting to much pressure that damn thing scrolls all the way down when im really tryin to get to the center of the page and what not.
I really dont see it as an insult when the software of a rom these devs are working with is a crap that samsung decided to push out to this phone specifically I mean for some folks if you like what you use thats fine by me I just couldn't handle most things that used to bug me and im no rookie at flashing and such. If you really wanna see how crappy this ics update samsung gave this device check out the other devices that also recieve ics updates like the sky rocket they ics update is much better and the scrolling is much smoother and snappy like it really should be without that super quick scrolling crap that some folks actually call smooth lol thats my 2 cents.

Welcome to the collective.
Dead Trigger was one of the first apps I got. Very tempted to get Need for Speed: MW.
Wallbase to look at nice pictures and test out the screen.

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.

This phone is awesome, I've played Need for Speed Most Wanted, Dark Knight Rises,Asphalt 7, Minecraft, and Modern Combat 4, this phone flies, it gets really hot that's the only issue but that doesn't affect performance at all. Stock UI is surprisingly nice. Screen is amazing. Development hasn't been good but I have no doubt that Roms, Kernels, and Mods will come with due time.

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.

Coming soon! :P

Just got upgrade eligible. I've been wanting to get into some developing a bit. This might be my first phone I actually do that with.
Just checking out the community here and saying hi. I'm coming from an Evo Shift and we had one of the best, most friendly communities around. Only reason I haven't updated yet is I'm hoping for a sprint version of the Butterfly (DROID DNA) next year q1

I've been stuck on cm for so long, but I'm not a fan of the recent direction they're going. :'( AOKP or PA seems nice

Believe me when I say that once we get this puppy opened up, I'll be pumping out anything and everything I can build....my sig doesn't even fit all the builds I'm doing on the Photon and Atrix....so here's a rundown:
AOKP
CM10
CNA
Liquid Smooth
King Kang
MIUIAndroid
MIUI.us
Paranoid Android
PAC Rom
I also have done a couple of builds of Xenon, but interest in that waned, so I dropped it...kinda hard to maintain all the builds solo...LOL
Also have done a few builds on the Infuse
Looking to get to work on it once I get everything situated with my current stuff
That sounds great. I have not rooted either, I will look forward top your work. If you need a tester. Let me know

Very good to hear
Great to hear some love coming this way for LGOG. I've been rooted since day one couple weeks ago but haven't found need to unlock. Can't wait for some AOSP on this. Used to own OG Evo and GS2. From what I understand this device should put me as close to a Nexus 4 as I can get on Sprint! This phone is great stock!

biggest diffs I see:
Camera
LTE on this device....and while I think N4 has 4G, it's HSDPA+, not LTE
slightly diff ram
Edit:
didn't put in the storage, as I don't think that's as big a deal as the others

The N4 has been made able to access several 4G LTE networks, including AT&T LTE, band 4. But then we've been made able to access GSM networks, although it requires a bit of hardware modding.

My friend is very excited about that bit. We live in Los Angeles, which is lucky enough to have Band 4 LTE, although not in our specific area. I have LTE a few miles away, and and he will get it soon enough. When the OG finally receives some good AOSP, we will be switching phones fairly often

I considered the same 2 devices (S3 was a VERY outside possibility). In the end, I went with this because of price, as well as I just thought it looked awesome. I am incredibly pleased with the purchase. I came from the same device as you (S2 E4GT). This feels like a whole different world in terms of build and OS feel.

More potential. Endless potential due to the N4 being based off the OG, the camera for bragging rights, and the sheer build quality. Main reason for me was the price, got it for $99 from Best Buy, while as my brother paid ~450 for his Note II.
