Galaxy Nexus?

Ok so the title is kinda blah but heres my issue. Ive been fighting with sprint to send me a completely different device other then the Epic 4G Touch. Im running 100% stock no root FF18. Long story short I got no laptop to kies my device to FH13 and sprint said they are not releasing the update OTA.
Heres my issues:
Horrible Battery life (2-3 hrs moderator use)
Phone never enters deep sleep (Yes i did a factory reset)(3 times)
Random Apps FCing
Browser is super laggy
4G disconnects randomly
3G lock and freeze
The list goes on and on
Ive heard of a few users getting Galaxy Nexus in exchange for the ET4G. I was offered a Nexus S 4G which is half the phone this device is so I declined that. The rep never gave the option to get a Galaxy Nexus at all.
My question is what did you people say to the rep inorder to get the galaxy Nexus. I just can justify downgrading to a Nexus S 4G.

Honestly if you are jut complaining about battery life then just OC to EL29. It's by far the smoothest build on our phone. And trust me I have a Nexus and the battery is still sketchy and ICS is still laggy on the Nexus.

I haven't tried it myself, but mobile Odin runs on your phone, so it should work for you.

You can't use someone's computer to use kies to get the ota? Maybe the library? A school.

If they told you they not releasing FH13 OTA then what is this? Obviously reps don't know nothing as always.

I get awesome battery life on fh13 and I did on ff18. The only thing I did was a data wipe/factory reset and wiped cache partition in recovery after the update, then I updated pro and profile. I can get over 24 hours on a charge. I also heard fh13 isn't being pushed to new people it has to be done through kies, not sure if its true.

I'm getting very close to el29 battery on fh23. Also fh13 was better than ff18 and should give you better deep sleep results.
They don't ota every phone at the same time, it's usually spread over two or more weeks. Wait and eventually you will ota to fh13. You may be able to get flashed at a sprint repair store but idk so I'd call and find out.

Refurb E4GT with bad esn

So I switched from Sprint to vzw a few months ago. I still haven't paid off sprint so my e4gt has a bad ESN. Sprint just send me a letter with a padded envelope offering me $100 to recycle my phone. Worth it or no?

100 is about right if it is in good condition, ebay is also about 100+/- for a bad esn phone, I bought a et2 for a spare boost phone for 125

True, but then it's $100 less on that bill.

I have two of them laying around. I may sell the one and donate the other. I'm hurting for cash tho, so I have to think about it. But I would like to do something for the xda community at some point.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Wait a couple months and then activate it. I did that with a phone given to my aunt. It wouldn't work when I first tried then a couple months later I tried again and it worked and got activated. I guess after a certain period the esn gets cleared out the system. Hmm maybe when the account is sent to the credit collectors the phone gets cleared out.

Thanks for the advice. I just checked them on an ESN checking site and they are clean. I agree with the debt collectors theory.
This kind of changes things. Sprint definitely isn't getting them. Not sure what my next move will be. Probably sell them.

No problem glad I could help. I was surprised at that finding. Now when someone hands me a phone they have a debt on I wait it out 2-3 months and try. No issues as of yet =)

+1 for this idea. He had to sell his E4GT to pay for his daughter to go see a doctor.
He's still working in the theme but doesn't have a device to test it on.

It may have a clean ESN but if you sold it the person couldn't activate it until the bill has been paid to clear the phone from the account.. I had to learn that the hard way when I sold a phone a while back

Oh trust me it clears. I've already done it with a Samsung Transform, and OG Epic. Both had a previous balance. Took about 2-3 months before I was able to do an esn swap without rejection but it went through eventually.

Verizon hardly ever clears esn's. I lost a blackberry I had on vzw and swapped to a flip phone, found the blackberry and they still wouldn't clear the esn, even tho I was the original owner and it was only swapped, I never even officially reported it lost/stolen. I had just called and said I needed to swap phones cuz id misplaced the active one, never filed a claim or anything. That stupid blackberry is still blacklisted and that was like 5 yyears ago

Will Sprint replace?

So ... I pulled a stupid today. I had downloaded a rom for the wrong phone. So then I download the rom for the correct phone. When in recovery I accidently clicked the wrong rom and full blown bricked the crap out of my phone. Phone is completely non responsive do you think Sprint will give me a had time when going to replace it ... can they tell its been flashed if it wont power on?

If you can't get into Download or Recovery like the guy above me said go to a Sprint store and play dumb. I've seen a couple of these threads and that's always the solution. I ALMOST flashed a wrong ROM once and I've been scared ever since. I check the file about 10 times before I flash it. Haha. I hope they will replace it.

Honestly should have known better and deleted the file before ever booting into recovery ... nope no download or recovery. Ill be taking it in tomorrow most likely.

I really do appreciate all the responses XDA has the best users on Android Central all they did is lecture me about throwing around the word bricked. They actually only linked me to another thread about how people shouldn't throw around the word bricked because it gives the rooting community a bad name and makes people concerned about rooting. Unfortunately they weren't aware that I know what I'm talking about and that it's not just soft bricked. Also I've never had to go through anything like this and wasn't sure how Sprint would handle it so I really do appreciate everyone's responses and not just giving me crap.

I figured they would just replace it being that the phone was non responsive so no way to confirm root ... like they would even check.

I wouldn't go as far to say that, The Policy, the Black and white of it is this. Sprints Technical Support Policy for techs working on Rooted/Altered software devices can still be services and the tech must attempt to resolve issue by re-flashing back to OEM specs with OEM flashing tools installed on the triage laptops that they have. Once it is determine that the device cannot be flashed for what ever the reason may be ( Will not cover water/physical damage) they will and again "will" make the attempt to resolve the issue....Hence even if the resolution is to replace the phone which is called "DHRP".Device Handset Replacement Program. I would be careful not to use these terms with them as it will surely make you look like your doing fraud, if that happens-Cancel your acct, They will flag that acct so fast in red bold notes that no one will help you.

Its important to NOT place the battery back into the phone when attempting to go to download mode...

Not that I care about you personal rants, I am somewhat curious as to how you would think (wrongly) about this infornation being fraud?
For one, it is the policy that they follow for these exact cases.
Two, the person attempted to root their device, if they pay insurance then ther are covered under sprints terms for instore repair.
I would like to also remind you about car insurance, lets say for example that a person was at fault for crashing there own car, filed a claim with full coverage on the vehicle. By your statement, this is fraud?
Its the internet and sometimes you forget this, but what you would jot say to a person to there face dont say it at all. But hey thats your problem and hence why I dont contribute free information. May you find peace within in you.

Tegrak

Hey guys. I've got a gs2 and I'm thinking about this device but I might just wait until the s4 comes out. Undecided at this point. Anyway the reason for this thread is because I didn't see any others about the fact that we can now overclock the stock kernel with tegrak overclock, as long as you're rooted, from the play store. Most of you probably already know this and if there is a thread on this topic then just delete this but I didn't see one so I thought I would share the info.

Why don't you just buy the phone used on Craig list they go for about 200/250 in Chicago I seen one sold for 150 and save your upgrade. This is a good phone but better things are already popping up. I say get this on Craig list is because it would at least give you 4g lte, wimax don't compare on speeds. And where I live wimax is not availbe my girl friend hates sprint with 3g but. Love using my phone 4g lte because I can tether my net to her phone.

Yeah most likely where I live I'll never see lte. Never saw wimax so that I definitely won't see either lol. I mostly use wifi because I can't stand 3G either. I'll have to check out Craigslist though. You can get one for $119.00 on Amazon wireless. But then again you are burning an upgrade on last year's device. The gs2 with stock jellybean is pretty cool though. It'll be even better once we get source but who knows how long we'll have to wait for that. Hopefully soon.

Damn that sucks. I wonder if it will get fixed. Didn't you or someone you knew know the developer or something? I remember you trying to convince people it worked on stock kernel lol.

Yeah most likely where I live I'll never see lte. Never saw wimax so that I definitely won't see either lol. I mostly use wifi because I can't stand 3G either. I'll have to check out Craigslist though. You can get one for $119.00 on Amazon wireless. But then again you are burning an upgrade on last year's device. The gs2 with stock jellybean is pretty cool though. It'll be even better once we get source but who knows how long we'll have to wait for that. Hopefully soon.

My personal opinion would be to hold off for the s4 I LIKE me s3 but with the s2 also running JB it can do for most part all that the s3 can do minus NFC. If you look at them on paper you will see a minor all around spec jump. However you look at the s2 on paper and what people are guessing the s4 will have that should be a major jump. Plus samsung is really neck and neck with apple right now at least by wall streets anaylists so I am sure the s4 is going to be just a beast of a phone and hopefully put that final nail in apples coffin. The s3 almost did it
Made leaps and bounds more than any other android hand set to date so that should say something so it will be very exciting to see what the s4 will look like. And also done forget Google is working on the x phone. I imagine that will be a beast of a phone as well. As it will be Motorola and googles first tight collaboration since the acquisition.

Yeah 99 bucks is a great deal but I don't to burn the upgrade just yet. I was so close to doing it too but I'm going to just wait for the s4. Besides other than the leaks for the s2 I've been running, which have been really great, we still haven't seen the final build or source yet so it's only going to get better.

What would you do?

As of August 1st I have been eligible for an upgrade. Also.. I am no longer in contract with sprint.
On a side note, I travel the world (primarily in the US though) for my career.
What phone would you get? S4? HTC One? Hold out for the Motorola X (I love that phone despite the somewhat mid tier specs)?
Would you switch carriers? Wait for the next nexus? Any other rumored phones on the horizon?
I feel like I do not want to renew my contract just yet and no device particularly stands out to me just yet (aside from my Motorola X curiosity).
As the title suggests.... What would you do? Hold out for nexus on a gsm and ditch? I'm SO TORN!

Also, with travelling the country... Are they known for good data in most major cities (sprint certainly is not)?
I primarily work in Seattle, Los Angeles, new York, Las Vegas, Hollywood, Florida, Atlanta (sometimes). The other countries I primarily work in are Germany, France, London and possibly soon will be in Japan more frequently.
Obviously gsm is a better choice if overseas trips continue to happen more often... Mostly concerned with coverage in the US though as I can get by (well enough) using Google voice and wifi in Europe... Although that has SCREWED me over few times...
I think I'm mostly hung up on devices at this point. I may just bite the bullet and buy the next lte nexus and attempt to be contract free...
So far away though and I am so tired of the sgsii...

The GSM S4 Google Edition (basically a Nexus) should be coming out really soon.

Do not do the new program that t-mobile and AT&T are doing. It is absolute BS. Not only do you pay the full amount over a 2 year contract, if you want to upgrade, you are required to give the device back. You are essentially renting the device from them for the full price. If you want to cancel your contract early , you are required to pay the rest of the full retail price of the device at the time of purchase and pay the ETF. Go with the original plan options if you go contract.

@EmperorX sounds like we may be in the same industry. I get great reception wherever I travel and I think I'll hold out for my S4 or HTC One or whatever awesome device that's out when I'm do for my upgrade in November. Plus the hotels give us free WiFi.

After doing more research and reading a ton of reviews... I may just go with the Motorola X phone
Not sure if I'm going to stick with sprint or not. Will decide next month.

Not to burst your bubble, but I feel it is a deal breaker for me, no sd card support on the Moto X

32 gigs is enough for me (when that variant comes to everyone). Only stuff I store locally is Spotify music. Everything else auto uploads to the cloud essentially.
We'll see though... Note 3 on the horizon... Too many choices!

I don't like relying on the cloud, I store everything locally, I guess 32 gb would be enough if we get one with that much memory. Just wanted you to be aware of that.

I like it. But I'm a removable battery and micro SD slot kinda guy. I'll wait for the next snapdragon 800 powered phone with the above options. Note 3? S5?

If you're looking into the HTC one look the the LG G2.

If I were you, I'd wait until Sprint releases a tri-band LTE phone first, whether it be the Note 3 or Galaxy S5. I'm personally gonna be renewing my contract for the S5.

Yeah the no SD card and non removable kinda annoying me too. The Korean version has both SD slot and removable battery. Let's hope sprint can get it in their variant ... I'm banking on that if they do I want to try something different than Samsung

New rumor from last night is that there will be TWO nexus variants in Q4. One from Lg (based off of (G2) and another nexus made by Motorola (NOT based on the moto X). If either of these is cdma (probably not) I'll buy on the play store and stay contract free.
Given that they will most likely be gsm only... I would most like the Motorola nexus, if true, and switch to tmobile. Contract free of course...
