Develop Bugs

Sprint.

Hi guys I'm coming from at&t I had a Samsung captivate then a attix. My sprint service isn't great but my fiance wanted us to get sprint so I got the et4g. I just wanted to know the big difference in cdma development vs GSM. I had att since 2003 so bear with me.

I'm in the same boat as you. Switching from att to sprint. In terms of development for the radios i can't say much because idk. but since gsm is more widely supported and the other GS2 phones run on gsm it will be easier to get it on those as well as a larger pool of devs.

Yea I figured that much the signal is pretty bad at my house but my gf has great 4G at hers. On att I would get 5mb down n like 4up. I'm hoping that sprints get better because its so advertised.

EVO LTE or GSIII?

What are you planning on upgrading to? I think I'll be going to the GSIII unless the specs end up being a flop.

Galaxy S III...no questions about it. I'm not due to upgrade til november, but since I'll be graduating next month, I may just pony up and 'treat' myself.

One exists. The other does not. So, this question is a little premature.

I'm actually planning on upgrading to the Galaxy Nexus.

Sure I was hoping that the evo LTE would look much better, but it has amazing specs. I think I am going to grab it, stick my evo on a pre-paid, so I can still play with it of course.

I can't stand the build quality of any Samsung I've touched. I preordered my OG Evo, and been happy ever since. Tempted to preorder Evo lte, but would sure like to check out build quality first. I hated the materials they used on Evo 3d.

Check it out HTC EVO 4G LTE definitely has superior build quality...
Get to know the HTC EVO 4G LTE

I've been considering the Evo 4G LTE but thing I hate about it is the fact that it does not have a removable battery.

Evo 4G LTE
I would probably get the Evo Lte depending on how well the GS3 performs. I played with the GS2 and honestly, it was garbage. I'm still rocking the original Evo because the 3D was a let down. Hope this helps!

EVO LTE is my choice. My OG is still the best for me. Never let me down even when I did by dropping it several times. Just keeps going and going. I am putting my money on HTC.

Unless the GSIII blows everything out of the water, I'm getting the 4G LTE.
But I am concerned about Sprint's LTE coverage.

New Devices: Galaxy Nexus, HTC Evo 4G LTE & Galaxy Note - Will YOU Switch?

With all the new Android devices coming to Sprint, will you be making the switch to one of them?
Samsung Galaxy Nexus - April 15?
HTC EVO 4G LTE - May-June?
Samsung Galaxy Note - 2nd Quarter?
Leave some feedback, I'm interested in if anyone would give up this awesome device we already have for one of the new ones!

I don't think so, I don't want a bigger screen size

Honestly, I may wait for the Note! I played with the AT&T version and was amazed!

I really want the galaxy note, but I want to see it first.

Is the note confirmed? Don't play with my emotions man!

Note! This epic touch fells to small.

Not confirmed but rumored and a visual on the Sprint website!
Look HERE

Going to see if I can get the Evo. I had the OG Evo before and I loved it.

None..not up for upgrade, there is not LTE here in Houston and I am pleased with this phone.

Thinking about the note, or evo

Definetely not the Nexus. Our phones have much better specs than the Nexus. That camera is horrible in quality.
I'd get the Note if it doesn't take too long to come out. Otherwise, I'd just wait for the SG3 in September.

im not gonna upgrade but if i were too then htc evo 4g lte no doubt. note is almost a year old and so is the nexus. evo brings in new tech

Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium the note is the su snapdragon then no. Higher resolution with a not so powerful gpu =less performance on games and I play alot

Nope. I will consider the GSIII. If Sprint's variant tickles my nads then I'll sell my GSII and buy it. Otherwise, I'll be waiting for 2013's lineup.

until I get lte on my Area.... im fine with my wimax and won't go back to 3g that goes from 5kbps to 2 mbps.. .

I played with the Note at At$t and it was extremely laggy. Anyone else notice? I'll wait for the SG3...
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

ill prob wait for the S3 not a big fan a of having a monster phone in my back pocket and as for nexus and evo i dont have lte in my are so its pointless. still loving my s2.

Most likely waiting for the SG3 as well, but will honestly just have to wait and see. If the SG3 really isn't being released until September then it's likely I'll pick up another phone in the interim just for the newness. But I love my E4GT so it's going to take a LOT to sway me.

First off i want to thank god that i am a sprint employee i will prolly go with the note and then the GSIII

When Sprint kicks me off their network for the constant 3g Data roaming (ever since I moved 6 months ago) I'll be getting either Galaxy Note or Galaxy Nexus on AT&T.
(AT&T makes more sense in my situation because all my family and my wife's family are on AT&T as well).

How to get sprint to replace evo lte with s3?

Hey guys, I currently have a evo lte and well..... It's a true PoS.
This thing won't even connect to 4g while a s3 right next to me will, among other connection/reception/service issues.
I've heard people getting they're evo lte replaced by sprint for a s3. Just called and they want to downgrade to something worse.
Any help?

Is your phone in lte mode under mobile networks or something, if it is update your profile and prl to try and get lte. As far as how to get a S3 simply sell your phone and buy a S3. The price difference shouldn't be much at all if you shop around and do research.

You can't get sprint to change your phone to the gs3 its possible but you have to have got your phone replaced more than 4 times and each replacement can't be more than a month a part and that is rare I did that I came from the galaxy nexus. But mine were legit replacents I wasn't trying to scam them if you want to exchange to a gs3 I would suggest maybe replacing your phone and if that doesn't work then just sell it and buy a gs3

Tmobile launched GS3 LTE Yesterday

I thought I will just add this here.. Maybe people will stop making new threads about LTE on our GS3.
Now we need to see if its the same hardware as ours and maybe combine a this forum with it.
Here is the news

Thought there was a thread on the new phone already.

Money I guess. My friend bought the s3 today cause it was 30 dollars and the s4 was 200 on Sprint but he didn't want to pay that much.

I agree. Glad we have choice and not stuck with just one . I love my sgs3. There are days I wish there was more I could do but for the most part it functions as it should and im not ready to fork out more money for a slightly updgraded version of this one. By slightly I mean "in my opinion" . Don't get all technical with me because I'm aware of the spec differences. If my phone isn't dead by next year around the holidays or even after that is consider seeing what's available. Sgs6 or even whatever the future holds.

Im kinda waiting for the Note 3 to comes out. That would have more features than that GS4. I think that should be a nice upgrade from my GS3. But then again T-Mobile did it again like they did with the Vibrant, I am not sure if this version of the S3 will have a lower memory or it will be the same as this just lte added.
The vibrant was a good phone and tmobile sacrificed that 16GB memory for that FFC when the Galaxy S 4G came out

Don't forget T-Mobile also abandoned the Vibrant when they released the 'better' version. We got stuck with Froyo officially. The very same could happen once more with us. There is a possibility that MD5 could be their last update for the non-LTE GS3. I seriously hope they don't forget the millions that bought the non-LTE GS3 as they did with the Vibrant.

That's not gonna be the case, and if it is the case we will get a version of it with custom roms. We'll get 4.2 around August-September (just a guess)

Yeah but bottom line is even if they decide to ditch this version of the updates I think it would be a lot easier to port it from the GS3 with lte! Even thought I dont think that Samsung will make a 100% different hardware of the one with LTE. Look at it this way. Even though AT&T. SPRINT, VERIZON have LTE GS3's and we can port roms from them. Or maybe tmobile will release the update to both devices

I doubt you have to worry bout getting keft out of the update loop. I'm guessing they will be virtually identical except for modems and drivers.

Pointless to go on endless speculation on what Tmobile and Samsung are going to do just wait and see. I think by the time we have 4.2, 4.3 might be out then people will be whining about getting that one.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Not gonna get this I'm happy with my sgs3. Probably one of the best phones I've had. If they do have a note 3 in the works I'll hold out for that.

So curious if anyonenhere has actually bought the Lte version.

Corrent I believe this new LTE GS3 will be the same exact phone... We should be good in porting roms from it just like Verizon, Sprint. And since is the same phone I wonder if we can flash radios from it too. Just like on the Hercules days when we could flash radios even from the Blaze 4G

I don't get why they would do this, T-Mobile or Samsung. Just release an S III version with hardware capabilities for LTE??? Just money hungry? Why do people get so worried about it? With HSPA+ I get 25 mb down, it's no 50 but on my phone I won't recognize the difference in loading web pages, or anything... My WiFi is 38mb down on my phone I tested both WiFi and Cell Data, no difference in loading a web page, maybe .5 seconds or 1 second, but is that what people are worried about? Seems so minuscule to me. Yet, there are about 20 threads on LTE and this phone, and an official thread with 13 pages.... and some of that cleaned out I'm sure, because people get so angry over the subject. Just boggles my mind, am I missing something here?

You're not missing anything. I completely share your feelings in this. When I owned the nexus 4 there were threads all about this also when a Google update disabled late on the nexus 4. People were all up in arms about it. Then after they found a way around it complained about battery life. We have become an instant society. If people perceive that late will get them something faster then they'll think they "need " it. I'm on WiFi 99% of the time. And when I am out of range my 4g is just as fast.

This thread was not about actually LTE. I have seen so many threads about LTE on this model of the gs3. I been telling em about this new model that tmobile has said it will come when they had that iphone conference. And I know what u mean there were a lot of lte threads. In my opinion i am not going to jump ship because of the lte. I can careless with it now that I have tested it with a att gs3 with a friend and I was getting better speeds than him. Maybe people just need to move on and next time u buy a phone they will be lte enable.. But again I don't know if tmobile pay less for these gs3 without lte in it. Its all about money. Just like some carriers prefer you pay another $500 for a phone that will have a minor update. Like for instance the vibrant and the galaxy s 4G. They said that the vibrant was not a 4G phone. They both had the same speeds in my experience that vibrant ran HSPA+ just like tmobiles so call 4G its HSPA+ so no difference there. Although for me the vibrant was a lot better. One thing though I wish is that I ne of these days tmobile will say that they will start saling none carrier branded phones. And there won't be a difference between the ones in the us and the ones international.

i like the idea
