[Q] SIII Worth it? - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Hey guys, I think I have contract renewal soon with T-Mobile. I've been using HTC for years, and frankly they've sucked. The kernel source code for my device took a lot of time to release, and it was incomplete, so I'm tired of this non sense. Sammy devices get a lot of dev love, so is it worth it?

I had an htc one s as my first tmobile device. Got the gs3 and quite honestly might be going back to it. The gs3 is awesome but i have way too many reception issues with it.

Just look at the dev forums. CM 9 builds popped up last week and now CM 10's already here. The developer support will be massive since the hardware is unified across all the US carriers and the phone is very popular.

My wife is getting very tired of me telling her how much I love my new phone. I've had it nearly a month and I love it!

Damn guys this all sounds very good, but apparently my mom is planning on buying only one when the contract expires :banghead:

Would you buy it again?

Ok guys, here's my "delimma". I have an upgrade available to me. I've been wanting a gs2 since it came out in Europe. I had every intention of getting this within the first week it came out on tmo. BUT, reading about all the issues with lines on the screen, resolution, etc, I'm skeptical. It's basically going to be this phone or I'll cancel my line (I'm on a family line). I havent had a chance to play with one in person yet. So, in the meantime, I'm trying to gather opinions on the phone.
With all that being said, if you had a chance to relive Wednesday or whatever day you bought the gs2, would you buy it again?

My phone is flawless and works perfect. I got mine through one of my partnerships shipped for around $200 while Tmobile its asking for almost $300. Pm me

Yes I would
i dont have the access to another carrier and this phone is the best tmobil has so of course i got the best and i love it!!
Yes i would .Coming from vibrant running cm7 . Love this Damn thing
Definitely. My Iphone 4 got stolen two days ago, and yesterday I picked up this phone. Didn't even consider a 4S. Done with Apple and ready to get back into xda and the root world Tmo's 4G is amazing too.
i try to buy Samsung phones only. Samsung phones are slim and lightweight!
the lighter the phone, the more comfortable holding in hand!

yup! I love the phone. More so then the G2X.
I would for sure. I think it's the best phone on T-Mobile and T-Mobile is the cheapest out of the major wireless providers for me.
I am eligible for an upgrade to my iPhone 3GS from AT&T. Picked up a Galaxy S II and ported my number over to TMO. Almost everything about this phone is better than my old iPhone. Couldn't be happier. Oh, and I'm paying less for my plan, too!
Yep, I can relate to some. I tried the epic 4g touch version on sprint. If I could swap the internals with that it would be more awesome. As it stands though, once root is here and I can tether I'll be stoked. As of right now I'm happy with it. It feels solid and has a professional look and feel to it.

I'm going to give it a try again. The SGS2 was the phone I wanted from the git go. Sounds like the ones with the least amount of problems are the 9/28 boxes.
I'm going to give it one more chance tomorrow after I get off of work and I'll keep it over the weekend. I honestly really want to love the SGS2.

I've heard nothing but great things about the custom ROMs. Especially AOKP.
Now did you pay full price for a g nexus? Did you have an upgrade? I always wonder how people change their phones so frequently. Is there a secret to getting a new phone with out having to pay 500+ for one??

Wirefly. Lol if you're upgrading you can get the gnex for like $99.
i have a corporate acct so i get a boat load of discounts and upgrades are enabled every 6 months. i haven't paid more than $199 for a device since my Omnia back in 2009.
so far no issues AT ALL.
already rooted and flashed AOKP and its smooth as butter.

If you call retentions, more than likely they'll take care of you. If you're out of contract retentions entire job is to keep you from leaving. The way they could handle this situation is more or less set it up in the system as if you were going to cancel, but locked into another contract... more or less, as if you had cancelled, then signed up as a new customer. In fact, that might be how they'd do it.
Give them a call and try.
Here's a direct, ZERO wait time Sprint retentions hotline number: 866-881-9571

Rethink that. Sprints version of the galaxy nexus is not supported by Google. The sprint version is code named the toroplus, look it up. Good development community though
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
I'm not sure that device is any better than what we have now, in fact it might be worse.
I know ICS runs better on it. Smoother In my opinion. My wife has one. I talked to Samsung this morning and according to them Sprint is hustling Epic owners about a bug fix update. The Samsung Supervisor even said it was never recommended that Sprint push the update. She said no update is in the works for this model. The funny thing about it is Samsung says there call lines are flooded with Epic owners having issues and Sprint tells me there are not any problems and I need to take out insurance. That will be a cold day in Hell!

Well, it's goodbye!!!

With a heavy heart I am here to confess I am leaving the world of Vivow... :crying: The waiting game for updates and empty promises from HTC and Verizon both, I have made this decision to sell my Incredible 2 and never look back. With that said, I am also saying farewell to HTC completely. Not enough backing of their current lineup in my opinion. I shouldn't have to upgrade to the latest phone just to get the new build of Sense or latest build of Android. I should also not have to depend on community developers to get what I want. Oh well, it's time to cut the strings.
Dev's.. from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank you all for giving us your personal time and effort into developing fun, useful, and up-to-date roms that just make us flash-aholics happy!! You will never be forgotten!!
So long!!:highfive::highfive:

Ah.. those issues if I remember were ROM related.. The phone has always been 100% using stock or CM7/9 ... but it's very picky about what other roms I use.. very strange device I have.. but un-rooted and stock it will be good as new.. cosmetically just a few blemishes and only one 1/4" scratch on the screen... not bad for having it and using it almost non-stop for almost 2 years now.. I have it on eBay but I'm thinking of pulling it.. almost 40 views already and 3 watchers.. unless that grows I'll probably yank it.. maybe.. I don't know..

Honestly, I think the best way to go would be an unlocked gsm nexus device because Verizon screws even nexus owners with updates. The gsm version already has official 4.2.1 yet us toro (vzw) owners only have official 4.1.1 and have to rely on custom roms for 4.2.1

Upgrade/Moral Dilemma

I got the unlimited family plan last June and got the Epic for my wife and I. This family plan is now turning into a business plan as I'm getting phones for my guys too.
My issue is that I am a tech junkie and I am starting to feel phone envy with all these guys getting the note 2. I have another person to get a phone for and I'm realizing that instead of waiting another year and six months to upgrade I can do it now and pass on this epic.
The problem is that I love this community, and would like to start putting out some roms for a group that I think is going to be hurting for devs shortly. While I'm pretty sure the note 2 is not lacking in this area.
Am I worrying about nothing? Is everyone leaving this phone soon anyway? If I don't use this opportunity am I going to be the only one here in a year? :sigh:
I just feel like it's too early to leave now, but will be too late later on.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
Reasonable to believe when S4 is released and if the specs live up to its hype, majority of users will consider the move. I am considering and upgrade and may not be on this phone at the end of the year. Only because it will be 2 years and trying to get the family on 1 cycle is the plan. Its an opportunity you should highly consider

That was the original plan, just wait it out, and get the latest and greatest, but my guy needs a phone now, so it's upgrade now or in a year and half. Other option is to use my best buy buy back to help with the cost of an out of contract phone when the s4 comes out.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
I think a lot of its are in it till the s4. This is a great community though and I feel your pain. The note has a lot going for it but I have a feeling the s4 is going to knock it out of the park. We always need good devs and would hate to see you go. But do what you have to. I'm sure you'll be happy either way. Although with all these 4.2 rooms coming out and jb ota around the corner at some point soon this phone will be hanging around for quite a while. Good luck with your decision.

I love this phone but if I had LTE I would upgrade now. I also think S4 will be my next phone since it should drop around the time the Network Vision upgrades start here. Bottom line do whatever makes you happy. The community will carry on and more devs will jump onboard since our phone is cheap now.

Damn wish I was here earlier to see the whole arguments lol. To the OP do what you want bro do what would make you happy I'm also a tech junkie love every new device that comes out. I have a note 2 and I love it I came from the e4gt and had used my upgrade to get the note now if the S4 really calls out my attention which I'm sure it will I will sell the note and put in the differences and pay full price now if you think you can do that do it If you're a tech junkie a don't see the problem of hesitating on doing something wrong for yourself just do what you want bro.

Note 2 is down to $169 on Amazon Wireless right now! I can upgrade now but I got this device as a replacement for my 3vo and haven't had it that long. I really want to see what it's going to be like after the jb update. If for some reason we end up not getting it then I'll upgrade but really don't see the need to just yet.

I see the price went back up to $249. Maybe they made a mistake lol. Hope you grabbed one while you could!

The main reason I'm going to stick with this phone is because wimax. Sprint doesn't yet have lte in my area and if I upgrade I will be stuck with slow ass 3g. So unless lte gets up and running soon I'm just going to stick with the Epic 4G Touch and with this site it keeps me from getting bored
Get a Note II, join devs like myself as we can sure deliver excellent works to the users

Amazon shows the Note II for $70 for new customers.
Print that, take it to BB for price match - even though you're an upgrade.
If you're lucky you'll get a steal on this phone! (One other person said he got on GN2 threads)
(Just don't check any box before printing so they don't know it means new customers only)

Geez Garwynn wish I thought of that lol! Not sure if it would've worked though. I'm still happy with my Note for $199. Wasn't sure if I should do it or not before but this thing is absolutely amazing! I thought the e4gt was a beast but my God lol! What a difference. You guys that are thinking about it just do it. You won't regret it. And if you're thinking you might want to wait for the gs4 I was right there with you but in all honesty I don't see how they will compare. This has tablet like features that the gs4 might not have. Of course we really won't know until the final spec sheet is released but either way it won't be this size. And it is beautiful guys!

Oh I did. Amazon had the note 2 for $170 when added to a family plan. I couldn't resist. It was worth the he'll I for from the missus.
What's great is all the wonderful people from this forum (like garwynn) that are over there now.
And there is nothing out like this phone now. Nor will the s4 match it. I don't think I'll ever be able to use a smaller phone with no spen again.

I'm an indirect dealer for Sprint, ATT and Verizon; I get to play with a lot of phones. You could not be more accurate. Not only is the Note 2 in a class if its own. It really is a "phablet". It doesnt need to be held close to the face, yet can fit in a pocket.
More importantly, the execution of Touchwiz is remarkable- its usefulness is beyond comparison, justifying every pixel of the huge display and proving it is not a gimmick.
As far as the E4GT goes, its second-life as a premium Virgin/Boost handset should prevent development from drying up.
