I see that we have a forum for the international version and the AT&T version. I just placed my order for the T-Mobile version and it will be here tomorrow. Now that the T-Mobile version is out... should we create a new forum for it?

You would think they know that already. LOL, we're being neglected
What the hell!! it launches tommorrow??? some people probably already have it??? id like to start posting
It's funny because I just came on here to start a thread about the same thing. I wonder why this hasn't already happened.
Can we please get this up and running?? Also can it have it's own forum and not be blended with another version?

Some sort of forum admin, I'm not sure who the main people are that take care of this thing. With it releasing tomorrow at stores, and packages already in the mail.. there is no reason for it not to be up now though.
T-Mobile GSII forum will be up tomorrow!
The issue of separate forums for all GSII variants came up. We decided to split them all, like we did with original GS, because the devices are different, and it'd get confusing having, for example, a massive ROM thread with ROMs for four different devices. So, yes, tomorrow we'll add the forum.
Everyone email admin for our forum!

Just curious why we can't have it until tomorrow, yet the new Amazon tablet already has a forum...
I didn't see anything regarding not making an intro thread and I know in most forums its welcomed so I thought I would go ahead with it.
I am coming from AT&T with an iPhone 4S 64gb. I was finally fed up with AT&T's crap so I left them and came to Sprint last weekend.
Of course being in this forum it is assumed that I have an Epic 4G Touch which I do and so far I am really liking it over the iPhone. (if you had told me 6 months ago that I would be saying that I would have laughed, very hard!)
I even decided to check out Android Development for myself which is what actually brought me to XDA looking for some info to setup an AVD for our phone.
I have read lots of great things over the past few days and hope I can contribute more once I get more familiarized with the device and Android.
So here I am making this post rocking out to some Sneaker Pimps Pandora channel enjoying the new Droid life.

Welcome and hope you have a good time. There are some great people here and you got your phone at a perfect time. ICS development is on the move to due a recent leak.
Welcome.
What crap from AT&T were you fed up with? I just left Sprint and the E4GT for AT&T and the iPhone 4S lol. Was tired of Sprint's crap-ass data speeds in my area. I have a love/hate relationship with the iPhone, I really miss my E4GT.

I live in the Oklahoma City area and for over 3 weeks I was seeing 3G speeds of around 0.13 Mbps down on my iPhone 4s as well as my fiancee's on my plan. I was also seeing this on my 3G AT&T iPad 2, and others that had iPhones on AT&T. Every time I called they would tell me that it was because I am a high data user on an Grandfathered Unlimited plan and was limited because nothing in our area was going on. When I told them about other's issues they would respond with "Im sorry I cannot comment on others accounts or lines only this one" after enough of that I was fed up and left. Funny thing is last week I got a call from someone at AT&T checking on my service saying there was an issue locally after all. They just seem to have poor customer service in the past few years, I sure hope I am happier with Sprint. I was going to go with Verizon but the fully unlimited plans on Sprint along with 23% employer discount made me choose them.
Thanks to all the others for welcome's!
Welcome to all three!

Welcome. I love these type of threads. We need a sticky just for this. Seriously. You picked a great phone. Samsung are awesome. Almost impossible to truely brick. Now I did say almost. Great hardware. Decent software, Touchwiz is one of the less intrusive skins I have seen. And so far the community seems to be a really good community. So welcome. If you have any questions or concerns please ask away. Or PM me if there is anything I may be able to help ya with.
Welcome...
You may learn to hate Sprint but this is an amazing phone...

Since you are a (soon to be) former E4GT user and (soon to be) new SIII user I'll be eager to hear your feedback on the phone.
Good luck!
Well if it performs as good as it looks and if it has a good radio then We're talking!
Sent from my iPhone killer.
It'll be total rubbish!! Seriously a step forward instead of a leap up is not worth it. If they gave us the quad core I'd say sure, but just the s4..... naaa note worthy but not write home to mom worthy.
I was thinking of starting a thread to thank the developers, helpers, and posters of leaked info. qbking77 and sfhub (wait did i spell that right? LOL) are just among the few.
I enjoyed flashing the latest leaked ICS update for my device.
However Saturday i wondered into a sprint store and picked up an HTC EVO LTE and after playing with it for a few days it looks like i will be keeping it.
Again, i think the Epic Touch community is a great place to be on XDA.

And that's why they take donations
Get in general on gsm/wcdma bands? Curious because I can't find a lot of info. And anybody previously owned some Motorola or Nokia phones how does LG compare to those? And a bonus question. How well does a Qualcomm WDC9310 sound processor compare to Wolfson 8994 or 1811? I can't find much info on the in-house sound chip Qualcomm, and it was challenging finding that is what is used on their s4 plus soc's.

This is a Samsung Forum.
From before LG had worse signal then Sony Ericson devices.

Its a Galaxy Nexus forum. not a general every nexus forum. I can't find ROMs for the Nexus One, S, or 7 here. Still though, I don't think LG has the best radios.

i see your point and thought about it, but as i said before, this is a nexus forum with many people anticipating the next nexus. i am sure many people here are interested in this question. but i digress as everybody else has. a nexus is still a phone at the end of the day.
He may be asking about LG, but at least it's in the Q&A section. On the HTC One XL section they keep putting it all in the General section. HA
Anywho... LG on the Sprint network here is AWFUL! But that might just be Sprint here. My mom never had problems with her LG Shine.
Sprint is awful. Couldn't blame an oem for reception.

That's just sprint. Lol a better candidate would be a LG phone on Verizon or AT&T.

If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^
My previous phone was an LG. I used it on this same T-Mobile account. It definitely had a stronger radio than the gnex. But the gnex radio is good enough, and it's a much better phone in every other way.
Hey guys,
It's finally time to upgrade my old Galaxy S1 Epic (please don't laugh lol), I was planning on waiting for news on the new S4 but nothing solid has come out and my Epic was royally messed up from a game of football.....Note to self - don't play football with a phone in your pocket.
I know I'll probably get some bias comments since I'm posting this in the Samsung forums but I'm hoping for some logic as well. I know in terms of technology, the S3 is on the verge of being out of date. The Optimus G (on paper) looks to be an amazing phone but I know that LG's track record on updates as well as community development has always been lacking.
Would you guys get a S3 this late in the game or the Optimus G and hope for the best in terms of support/development? I can't afford to buy the phone outright so I'll be locked into a 2 year contract with Sprint and will be stuck with this phone for the next 2 years. I played with both phones at the store and they're both pretty cool, but I'll admit that when it comes to phones I am kind of a noob and would rather get honest opinions from people who have the phones and might know more about the future hurdles of it.
oh, the S3 is at Amazon Wireless right now for $50 and the LG Optimus is $99....both great deals imo! So I'm going to need to make a decision soon before the sale is over.
Thanks in advanced!
Ill just say this i will never buy an lg phone. This s3 is an amazing device and i have zero complaints about anything regarding this and i have had this since early june.

lame.. why not just don't post or answer his question even if it isn't suppose to be here..
anyways.. I'd vote for the SG3, mostly just because Samsung will at least try to stay up to date.. While LG always seems to fail in the category..
2 things, battery and sdcard
Thanks eveyone! I posted in the other post as well and got an answer there too. I'm going to go with the S3, even though the hardware is older than the Optimus G, I know that the development community behind it is amazeballs. I had the Epic 4G for awhile but since there were great development groups behind it, I was able to happily use the phone for a long time without complaints. I just can't take that gamble with the LG phone....looks great on paper but I don't want to be stuck with stock for 2 years,
I just got off the phone with Bestbuy and they said they'll price match Amazon Wireless so I'm going to pick one up for $50. Woot!

Answer was sent to OP via PM. However, We still gotta play by the rules either way we go. Overall, choice is going to be down to OP to figure out what they would like to do. So, my opinion may not matter..
I said S3 either way. I agree with post above me, non removable battery and lack of SD expansion is HUGE turn off.
I just don't like lg
Also s3 has the 48gb from drop box
I also like having the option of having Odin fix stuff if they go horribly wrong
Also s3 has a super solid dev community
Idk about the optimus g

This is a valid question - on the one hand, it isn't a big deal to handle the occasional misplaced thread... but on the other hand, just answering the question does nothing to help the OP to ensure that he doesn't make the same mistake twice (which will, in turn, make misplaced threads less occasional and more of a problem)
The important part is for all of us to be careful not to attack each other, or to react to such a reminder as if we're being attacked - if we wanted to start a multi-page argument, it would be more effective to bring up debatable matters of opinion than known facts such as forum rules
