Lame I know but I am so excited - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

So I am already the proud owner of a 16gb Galaxy S3. Lets just say I didn't get the best deal but hey I wanted the phone extra bad. The phone I had before it was the G2X, crappest phone ever, and my mom said she wanted it. Just as expected the G2X gave her problems, she's had at least four replacements since Aug. So finally T-mobile was gon to crave in and do an alternate exchange, and the offer a mytouch Q which is not even close to the same specs of the G2X and she had just switched from that phone. So I was told that it was nothing else that could be done, so I asked for the Loyalty Dept. the rep was really nice and stated that I could get a 16gb Galaxy S3 for $279. I thought that was a lil pricey and her upgrade is due in Feb,. I told the rep I'd call back and see what I had decided. So I called in this evening to take the deal, but the rep I got to sent me back to the Loyalty Dept. this rep offer me the 32 gb for the same price waiving all the fee and express shipping. So as of tomorrow I will be the proud owner of a 32 gb Galaxy S3 and my mom will get the 16 gb....Lame I know because I am already that S3 owner but I'm super excited. :laugh::victory:
For those that have the 32 gb, how much of the memory is actually available?

nice

I wish I had waited until the 32gig was available. I did just get a 64gig extsd card, but it's not the same.

I know don't get me wrong I love my 16gb but i was like wow the storage is really limited even though i barely used any think I have like 10.68 with 32gb memory card which isn't bad but I'm always looking at it. Hopefully now i can rest and go apps crazy well not crazy but not keep watching my storage...then i paid in the 400 range for my 16gb and paying 279 for 32 gb is steal to me cuz i love the s3

So basically you're paying $300 for like, 12gigs? Makes sense.......

Pretty much and that's a better deal than even new customers are getting for the 32gb directly from T-Mobile.

I think it's more that the mom needs a phone. Had a chance to upgrade to 32g so did it and is excited about it. Do you need to rain on their parade?

I guess it's sweet OP is giving their old phone to their mom for Christmas but I still don't see spending the money. The 16gb one has ~10gigs for apps. If you fill it up for apps your phone will most likely be slow, have crappy battery life, and use a ton of data. If you need space for music/pictures the external works fine for 1/20th the price.

Buy the 16GB model...buy the 64GB sdcard. Still cheaper than buyinf the 32GB and you'll have 80GB. I've foynd the 64GB card for $50 online.

Congrats. I also upgraded from the G2x to the GS3. I didn't think the G2x was as bad as every made it seem (maybe since my previous phones weren't great :laugh After using the GS3 it really made the G2x feel horrible.

Well since apps can't be saved to SD card and for most the default is the internal "SD card" I wish I would have gotten the 32gb.

I think thats what was bothering me that it look like simple apps what eating up the the little storage that was offered.

With a simple script you can go from 16gb to a 64gb. I have no slow down or loss of responsiveness. I am glad you were able to get something other then a my touch for a replacement but this could still interest even the ones with 32gb.

I would use this but I've heard it mess up some things like duplicating pictures in gallery or music player. Do you have any problems like this?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

No just be sure to transfer all of the internal contents to your external. The only ones you may want a copy of on your internal is your ring tones so if you don't want our external card in the phone still has the files. The only "duplicate" I see is astro showing four memory instead of two. This is only due to the fact the script runs after the phone boots. I do have fancy widgets and because the use a file on the internal card, when I first boot the phone they load the proper image after the phone loads the script.

[Q] Memory Card

i am forced to use my 2gb memory card, since somehow my 8gb card doesn't work anymore, like if i was to put it in my phone it would freeze, or wouldn't show up in the sdcard settings, and when i put it in my sdcard adapter and put it in my comp, it still doesn't show up and my comp starts slowing down and freezes, but i'm planning on getting a new card for my aria(until the htc atrix comes out hehe) but will a 64gb card work on the aria or the highest is 32gb, cause if 64 will work it'll make my iTouch pretty much worthless, but even if a 32gb will work i'ma get rid of my iTouch

HTC is coming out with a comparable device.
Working for MCO, Kingston would mix and match where cards were made. Just because the 1st one out of the box was legit, didnt mean the 2nd was.
Backflip indeed was horrible but it opened me up to a new OS and now I love Android.

In any case, I thought the max was 16GB! So, no not worthless IMO.
I suggest you get a Sandisk on e-bay perhaps class 6 or 10 so you can run your ROM's cache and Davlink in there. I'm I right? eh? eh?

Selling T989 and getting a Galaxy Nexus a good idea?

Many times good software can make up for hardware. I don't own a Gnex myself but I've read good things about how smooth it runs. They'll always get the best vanilla android software as well. Camera quality (8mp vs 5mp) and no sd card slot are probably the biggest concerns with it.
You can always check out their forum and see how people like it.
I will never do this. I need extra memory and in 3 years i havent carried camera with me lol

i honestly think its a stupid trade, dont get me wrong the nexus is a beast n has some amazing developments but if ur doing this only for JB u might as well be patient n wait till we get ours
The lack of SD card slot and overall mediocre hardware quality put me off. I was definitely considering the Nexus as I prefer a pure Android experience, but the reviews just aren't great.

Lucky for you the T-Mobile version has the highest (locked version) resale value @ $357~ on Ebay.

I sold my T989!
So today I sold my T989 on Craigslist for $345. I had $60 extra and I just ordered it from the play store.
I think I got lucky I sold it for 345, because some used in mint condition T989s on eBay are now going for about $300.
I'll let you know what I think about it. I can always come back to T989 if I don't like it. I'm sure the resale value of the GNex will go up if the ban is put in full effect!
You can go to other threads, gsmarena, etc., and see the phone spec differences.
Just a couple things that might be a little subtle from just looking at the specs .....
The S2 has faster HPSA, 42 MBS theoretical VS 21 on the Gnexus. Most PHONES can't take advantage of that speed by themselves (or users don't). It makes a difference for me, as I hotspot and run a computer off of my tmobile connection. You do need to be in a tmo 42 mbs area for this to be useful, however, so, if you're not, this feature might not be "worth it" for you.
PENTABAND? What provider do you use, are you looking to do contracts? Straight Talk (att and tmobile) and tmobile itself, offer great pay per month contracts (plenty of posts on the ST $45 unlimited everything plans). The S2 is faster ON TMOBILE, but, while it can run on ATT for voice, data is very slow. The nexus is fast on both ATT and Tmobile.
Pentaband is a good feature if you are looking to switch between att and tmo (maybe one gets better reception when you're at school, the other when you're at home ?).
A THOUGHT HERE is the ATT S2 SKYROCKET, apparently, it runs ATT fast natively, AND, can be flashed to the Tmo version (Tmo S2 doesn't have the same radio, so doesn't work the other way)
As others have mentioned, more developer support for the GN, less for the S2, but, ... the S2 has lots of good roms too.
SD CARD - is "WORTH" it to me. I am in hotels a lot, have a large collection of blu ray DVDs I've converted using DVD Catalyst, and have many on micro SD cards ... and I can use my phone as a movie player if the hotel (or if I go to a friends house) TV has HDMI.
The built in memory on the GN is not so small that its a big hinderance, I can still fit a movie or two and hundreds of hours of songs, so, long as you plan you're fine ... removeable SD allows you to bring your entire song collection and dozens of movies.
That's useful for me, might not be "worth it" for you.
Both are great phones, FOR ME, the Nexus is much more versitile if you're looking to maximize pay as you go plans and carrier useage, the S2 if you are looking for pure data speed and SD is a little stronger.
Good luck with your choice, and let us know how it turns out!

Do you guys think the extra $50 of getting the 32gb?

I know the s3 has expendable memory... But not all the apps can be installed on the memory. Would you go with the 32gb for extra $50?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I did not because 16gb of memory can be bought for 15$ and I use the Internet for most of the stuff I do on the phone. Not a big gamer but I can't imagine a game that would not fit on 16gb. You can move some apps to sd. It's up to you dog.

Not worth it, get a sd card that can then be used for future phones. Justification for me is that this phone will be drop in value when the S4 lte comes out and it doesn't matter if it is 16g or 32g the market will be flooded.

So you're basically telling him to avoid getting something he may want because when he goes to sell it, there will be a lot of them available?
If I was OP, I'd get the 32gb if he can get a deal on it. Even at the normal cost of the phone and a 64gb card, you have almost 100gb to store stuff. But then again, I use my 64gb card for the camera and video recording as well as internet radio recording and much more.

Not so much as telling him what to do but looking at it from another perspective like playing devils advocate.
The OP should also consider your perspective especially if warranted by his needs of memory usage
If you don't expect to get a SD card then the 32G phone would be a good choice. When you look at the maximum memory capabilities of the 32GB phone there is only a 16% reduction with the 16GB.
I got the phone subsidized 16GB for a total of $179 and when I asked CS what the cost difference of the 32GB would be and they said 80. If it was $30 I would have grabbed it but not $80. I think I made the right choice because by the time a newer phone comes around there may be a need because I expect to have a collection of music and videos by then for now I have almost squat.
If you have endless amount of apps then go with the 32gb. You can't at least not out of the box save apps to the sd card. For everything else the 16gb should be fine with expandable storage up to 64gb

if you are, don't waste your time. there is not external storage (no micro sd) support on the nexus 4... huge fail IMO. i would have been all over that. just really didn't feel like using up all my storage by simply transferring all of my ***t to my new device. what is this an android/iPhone? i was confused by that feature being absent. i guess they can't give you EVERYTHING... but that is a big thing to exclude IMO.

I love my SGS3, but the Nexus 4 is tempting. The lack of SD card storage may be the deal breaker.
OK my opinion is this. I first got the g2x and went through about 5 of them because of screen issues and random reboots. Samsung Galaxy Galaxy S3, 0 returns. Solid phone works perfect, I can't complain. I remember my brother told me that LG makes awesome televisions and my response to him was then they should stick to that. Again this is my opinion it's all up to you. But after my experience with LG, I would not purchase another phone from them again. Good luck.

If you're talking about getting a s3 thru tmobile's deal with the mail in rebates, you might want to make sure that they don't require you keep the device until the mail in rebate is cleared and received.

[Q] TMobile 32GB Galaxy S4

After visiting the local T-mobile store here in Miami, I was told that a 32GB version of the S4 could be ordered over the phone. My question is, does anyone know if this presumed 32 Gb version (which I've been told is not available in stores) can be flashed with all the ROMs that the 16 GB version has available in this forum, or will the fact that the storage capacity is different change the partition sizes and therefore make such flashing imposible/hard due to a possible bricking? Will the phone version also be different or will it still be an SGH-M919 (just with more capacity)? I think you probably can flash ROMS for the SGH-M919, but what do you guys know or think of this? I'm considering buying an S4 and would like the extra storage but I also love to try new ROMS and flash new things. Comments are appreciated.

After visiting the local T-mobile store here in Miami, I was told that a 32GB version of the S4 could be ordered over the phone. My question is, does anyone know if this presumed 32 Gb version (which I've been told is not available in stores) can be flashed with all the ROMs that the 16 GB version has available in this forum, or will the fact that the storage capacity is different change the partition sizes and therefore make such flashing imposible/hard due to a possible bricking? Will the phone version also be different or will it still be an SGH-M919 (just with more capacity)? I think you probably can flash ROMS for the SGH-M919, but what do you guys know or think of this?

I could be mistaken, in fact I hope I am, but I think you got some false information. My buddy works at T-Mobile and I haven't heard anything about a 32GB S4 since the phone was announced. It was supposed to be 16, 32, and 64GB but they only released 16GB, and to make it worse there's only about 9 or less of that 16 available. It is still worth it, it's a great phone, especially since it has a microSD card slot, but it's frustrating having to find workarounds because of always running out of internal storage. I got used to it though, and it added another 50GB to my dropbox.
Tmobile has no 32 GB model. My roomate works there. Not to mention you can easily go online and find that information out yourself. it's not that difficult

That's exactly what I thought, but after now having gone into several stores,I've gotten the same thing....."The 32gb version is available but it has to be ordered and it will be mailed to you at home." Can't say if it's true or just misinformation, but would love to see if anyone has confirmed this and actually ordered one.

Sounds like a simple phone call could answer your question.

I just called 611, there is no 32gb model that they're aware of.
Of course this was only 1 call rep, but I believe the 1 call rep and the countless truck loads of information available online.
Rather than ask what you can do with the 32gb model, I would've called first as the stores suggested to you rather than ask about a mythical device that would piss everyone off who adopted early.

Believe it or not, I did call before posting this thread. I was told by a rep that they had it but that it must be out of stock because it did but show up on her system. I think some of these reps have no idea of what's going on! Hard to know when to believe them and I guess illusive me wanted to believe her and think they do have a 32 gb S4 Thanks for checking up on it, though.

Store rep says Jul 24th
I went to a T-Mobile store today, finally giving up on the 32Gb model. I jokingly commented, "And let me guess, the 32Gb model comes out tomorrow." The rep said that indeed it would. It would be available online through google or samsung, and that I could check in tomorrow and have him order it for me for pickup at the store. I guess we'll see, but I'm crossing my fingers.

Clearly the guy was delusional
I called him back again today, he said the phone was not yet available and didn't have any more information on when it would be available. But it would be an official tmobile phone and come with financing, etc... I don't know why he suggested I go to google play before. I've decided these random salesguys are less than helpful.

To this guy's credit, we were in the middle of filling out the form for me to purchase the 16G version, since I had given up on the 32G version and my current phone has been crapping out at a surprisingly bad rate. And he gave me his card to call back to see if the 32G version was in today or not. I think he was just trying to be more helpful rather than a purposefully misleading slimeball. He was just misinformed.
When i got my 16gb galaxy s4, when I go to storage, I have like 8GB free space which is a big disappointment.
