Sprint Galaxy Nexus vs E4GT - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

For all the crew in this forum how do you see the sprint version of it....its because an uncle is offering me one very cheap but i don't know how good is it compared to our phones and if it is so bad as the Verizon version (no updates, crappy battery, etc) and software related
Sent from my beautiful snowy white SPH-D710

My wife has it. It's kind of a wash, IMO. If I were buying a new one, I'd pick it over mine - I do like it better overall. But not something I would re-purchase over my E4GT at this point.

The hardware on the two phone are about equal with each excelling in different areas. The nexus is much better simply because Google will make sure you get updates for a couple generations. It is cdma so it will face the same issues Verizon's nexus does, but it will still be better off than the epic touch. Depends on how much your uncle is asking for it.

I don't know where you live, but there's no Sprint LTE where I live. We do have 4G tho, so that makes the choice pretty easy for me. Now that we have ICS on the E4GT, it's an even easier choice.

Wait, they can sell a phone branded as "Nexus" without it being officially supported by Google? How does that work?

It is supported by Google as all nexus phones are. It is just not part of aosp, meaning you can't flash aosp and have everything work. It has to do with proprietary drivers related to cdma that Google can't open source. Verizon worked with Google to find some type of loophole that allowed them to open source it. But they are both supported by Google, they both will receive long term Google support, they both will get updated slightly after their gsm counterparts. They both will be updated much longer than the epic touch.

Verizon to T-Mobile

So I have the CDMA Verizon version of the GNEX and I was wondering if I can unlock it to work with T-Mobile, I know I'll probably have to cut my sim but what else do I need to do to accomplish this? Can anyone point me to a guide or something ? Thanks guys

What they said. You can however sell your Verizon Nexus and buy an unlocked GSM one. That's the route I went.
How many times must this be answered
It won't work. Just sell yours and pony up a few extra $$ for the difference to buy a GSM model.
Just curious, but were your CDMA GNex's having problems? I've tried about 4 of them (via VZW customer replacement policy) and keep having one way audio dropouts. This combined with Google's decision to remove CDMA devices from AOSP support has me thinking of selling mine and getting the GSM version.
If I may, how much were you guys able to recoup by selling them? Is there a market for these CDMA versions?

On the XDA marketplace the CDMA Nexus is going for $400-$450. You could probably expect about the same on Craigslist. I have the GSM and got it for $565. As far as your bad handsets, it sounds like you have just been unlucky. I wouldn't sell just because of Google dropping AOSP support. I don't think it will affect the Galaxy Nexus very much if at all, and it is still going to be the most dev'd phone on Verizon. I do think it will affect future Nexus devices making their way to Verizon though.

Is Google required to provide Jellybean to GN before GS3?

Is Google required to provide Jellybean to GN before GS3?
Since my GN is a VZW phone, I have a feeling that it will get Jellybean after the GS3 gets it.... or am I wrong?
Huh? why would Google be required to provide Jelly Bean? It's all open source.
New flagship device (Nexus tablet or Nexus 4) will get Jelly Bean first be cause it will be launched.
Galaxy Nexus (GSM: yakju/takju) will follow.
Nexus S (GSM) will follow.
VZW will need to wait for Verizon to approve of Google's update. I know I'm missing Sprint but you get the idea.
I am completely positive in telling you that the Galaxy Nexus will get Jellybean before the GSIII.

I don't believe it is required but the gnex will get it ages before the gs3 even dreams of having it because the gnex is an aosp device where as Samsung will take jelly bean and bloat it down with touchwiz and Samsung apps... then it goes to the carriers and they put their apps on and somewhere along the line it just might reach the gs3

I wouldn't bet on that. If we're talking about the GSIII in the USA I would agree with you but overseas or unlocked is a different story. I'm sure one of the overseas variants of the GSIII will see a Jelly Bean ota before we do (VZW/CDMA). We haven't even officially gotten 4.0.4 yet.
GNex will definitely get JB first. The G3 is running Touchwiz, so even when JellyBean is ready, Samsung will need to modify the IU. Regardless of the G3 being a "flagship device" Nexus devices will always get the updates first because they are pure Android.

"Required"? lol. Not sure what you mean by that. Google makes the OS. Who would be holding them accountable to be "required" to do something?
But you know that it will... I mean think about it. They make Jellybean for the new Nexus + old Nexus (that's us). Then they give it to Samsung (and others) who make it all skinned and stuff for their devices.
It necessarily gets JB first...

No, I was dead serious. First glimpse of ICS ever was on a Nexus S. As for why it took so long...because they probably wanted the GN to be released first.
Then they did their little peepee dance and canceled the 4.0.3 push shortly after it began for whatever reason.
The GNex and NS will both get Jellybean before the GS3 IMO.
Why would the carriers and/or Samsung upgrade the GS3 asap? What incentive do they have? They don't, so they won't.
Google isn't required to do anything but my bet us that gn gets jellybean much much sooner for the before mentioned reasons and judging by the past. If the hardware is capable it will get it. The nexus s got ics same day that the Verizon galaxy Nexus came out.

The CDMA (Verizon) Galaxy Nexus is not really an unlocked "Nexus" phone in the traditional Google definition (like the GSM pentaband version) in the sense that it is still "locked" to Verizon's will to get an update. Real Google phones get updates pushed directly from Google servers. Heck they can't even switch SIM cards or use other providers or use it abroad with international SIMs.

Does Google have to get Verizon's permission in order to push OTA update to CDMA Galaxy Nexus phones?

Need help choosing between gnex and s3 [Sprint]

Im switching services to sprint and looking to either get the nexus or the s3. All hardware specs aside which would most likely be the better choice..? From what I read it looks like the s3 is stuck in 3g while lte rolls out for sprint. Im leaning towards the nexus as its a pure android phone with no bloat on top of it. Would it be a smart choice to go with the gnex or get the s3 and wait for the 4g lte?

GNex is LTE too so you would be stuck on 3G either way. Sprint 3G is terrible in case you didn't already know.

3g isn't bad for me. It's an easy choice IMO. If you want access to the latest software, and want it to be fully functional, and stable, go Nexus. The GS3 doesn't have "that" much going for it over the Nexus.

"All hardware specs aside" makes it very simple. Galaxy Nexus hands down. But please get the GSM version to get the full benefit and all of the freedom from contracts, carrier restrictions, and official software delays.
If your not getting GSM nexus may as well get the better hardware. S3 would be my recommendation, though I'll personally stick with my GSM nexus.
That's my unbiased opinion, considering the forum your on you should know what most people will say.

Dont be lured by the unlimited marketing engine from Sprint. Their network is horrible. 3g is more like 2g at best and 4g is hit or miss. I imagine given their track record, LTE will be the same. Unlocked GNEX on T-mobile is the way to go! Thats what I did and couldnt be happier.

Bad 3G? It really all depends on location. Really if your not in an area where LTE will be very prevalent. Then go with the GSM. Otherwise you may want to reconsider the sprint nexus.

HTC Incredible DLX losses out to LG over next Google Flagship Device.

That's right, confirmed yesterday with a release date of November 13th, the Google Nexus 4 will be a 4.75" Quad Core Snapdragon S4 device marketed by LG.
I know I and many in the HTC Community were looking forward to the supposed HTC Branded Google Nexus 5 (ie HTC Incredible DLX).
The LG branded Google Nexus 4 will not feature 4G LTE capabilities and looks like it won't feature 4G at all. It will offer Android 4.2, 2GB RAM, wireless charging and other features. More can be found here

I was looking forward to the Nexus 4. I was so sad when I found out there was no 4G and it would not be on Verizon. Haven't had a Nexus device yet. Guess now I'm for HTC DNA or whatever they decide to call it...
The simple fact is is that Verizon does not support timely updates or unlocked devices. Its also common knowledge that LTE is a huge battery hog. My brother has T-Mobile HSPA+ 42 and has no problems streaming Netflix, which is what most people complain about. Besides, LTE is only available in 8 countries worldwide and even in those countries its only available in certain areas.

I for the most part just dislike the company policies. The service is fine, just a little pricey. Customer service has always left me wanting better, and I personally find the handling of the Galaxy Nexus to be quite the fiasco.

Just to say...
Verizon and sprint updated their galaxy nexus to 4.1 via OTA months after jellybean came out.
But the key here is that they still kept their promise and we had jelly bean before any other phone on their roster.
Even the hottest phone of the year Galaxy s3 didn't get jellybean till this week.(Verizon still waiting)
Verizon held up their end. You were the first to get jelly bean and unless the nexus 4 comes to Verizon, you will be the first on Verizon to have 4.2
The new Droid DNA comes with 4.1.2 so you're fine.
