I have had three over the air updates since I took my Nexus out of the box. I am finding out that there is a better OTA for people that live in LTE areas. Like LG8 or LG9?
Is this true? How can I update my phone now? I don't won't to root I just want apply the factory update like via zip file or something.
My phone keeps picking 3G over 4G. For instance when I go upstairs its 4G but when I go downstairs its 3G. This is so frustrating because I know the 4G signal is still good enough to stay on.
Does anyone know of a way to force LTE only on the Nexus or how to get the MLS Code without rooting? I might be able to adjust it from the inner settings.
Guys I really need some help here because this LTE experience I am having really blows.

You are confusing the L710VPLG8 update that Sprint is rolling out for the Galaxy S 3, a completely different device, with whatever the latest update is for the Galaxy Nexus. (I am no expert on the Gnex, but I was the one who advised you about that firmware version over in the Sprint GS3 General Forum. You posted your question in the wrong forum since it turns out that you actually have a Galaxy Nexus.)
Where the f is your brain... its not even even the same model number. The gnex is the SPH-L700 not 710.... and the latest update is FG01.

I wasn't asking for that exact rom I was meaning where is my equivalent fix because the FG01 is a piece of s***.
So put that in your pipe and smoke it jack a**.
I can be in the same house and get full 4G bars and full 3G bars and I can see the phone fighting to figure out which one and guess what it chooses f-ing 3G.
There must be a sophisticated fix to this.

Uber you are so full of it , why don't you finish your statement ... is your brain? I never mentioned my brain in my original statement you brought that up making it personal. I never directed my comments to anyone in my original statement. You are just in a hole so deep you will do anything to get out.
As far as the link goes I'll check that out and get back to you hopefully it helps.

Its possible to force LTE its an option in most ROMs.

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.

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

I've had both since an s3.The nexus 4 great phone ,real sleek and feels good in the hand and very fast, but I feel like the camera for some reason is not as good as the s3, and when I played youtube videos on HQ, it really didn't. It really didn't look so clear. Then i got the note 2 and was amazed great phone fast! The multi window feature and the S-pen features is good too, but just little to big for me. Well back to the s3, just great phone to me! Now I'm not here putting either phones down because they were both great phones but my opinion the s3 just right for me.

I was a true flash addict. Hell I could barely enjoy my phone as a phone since I was always flashing.
I was on CM10 for a while and flashing a nightly every night and searching for mods was a daily fix for me.
Ive since went Frosty JB and I love it. Of course I still do small mods. Got wind of the Moto Droid M launcher with its flipping circle clock widget and I love it.

Waste of time and money if you ask me. The Note 2 is just a bigger version on the S3 with a pen and the N4 is a step down from the S3 if you are used to having a bunch of your music and pictures on your phone, especially for off line use in bad data areas, while in other countries, and on flights. 12GB or 5GB of usable storage and a nonremovable battery just doesn't cut it for many of us who use our phones all day long for everything. If you are a hardcore developer and don't need the storage space and don't need to stash extra batteries around by all means jump to the N4.

Unless u have had multiple issues with the same model phone they will never just give u the next model up, u could try being an ass about it, some ppl get positive results like that, but to be honest, besides screen size the difference in the two phones is very small, the s2 is a little aged but if u look it still has the most recent os, still gets plenty of love from devs, and though aging still is considered a flagship phone I love my Hercules, wouldn't hope for a s3 as replacement

That's not entirely true...
When my vibrant bit the dust, the exchange ended up being my hercules because they no longer had any of the vibrants. I had a choice between the HTC Amaze and the GS2, and I like to think I made the right choice.
To the OP: Since they still offer the GS2, it is what you'll get in an exchange fit your GS2.

So update then, the Hercules may be 2yrs old but its far from outdated, the reason ppl love this phone is sammy still takes care of it, still has latest software, still has lots of development going on, and if u look at it the s3 isn't that much better than the s2 beside the .3in of screen size, the Hercules had been and will continue to be around, and oh it will continue to get updates until 4.2.2 where it will stop, along with the s3, note, note 2, and us version of current s4, so no this phone does not suck and it's not going anywhere, go update to an s3 and see how little difference there really is, why do ppl leave comments like this?

Not much of a difference? Let me list some for you...
Bigger, 720p screen
The s4 CPU is about 30% faster along with 2gb of ram plus the Adreno 320 GPU is worlds ahead of the adreno chip in t989.
MUCH better battery life
And a MUCH better camera to list a few facts.
It is a upgrade and an all around better device. Don't kid yourself. This phone is good, not denying that, but don't be a fanboy and deny the obvious.

The s4 CPU is about 30% faster along with 2gb of ram
MUCH better battery life
MUCH better camera to list a few. It is a upgrade and an all around better device. Don't kid yourself. This phone is good, not denying that, but don't be a fanboy and deny the obvious.

The t989 also has 2gb of ram, yes the screen isn't as nice but it's not that much smaller either at 4.52in, the processor is only about 17% faster not 30 and I get amazing battery life, so no it's not that much better, if u look at the difference between the s and the s2 its phenomenal, the s2 to s3, not so much, now I'm no fanboy and I wasn't dissrepecting anyone with my comment but just wondering why if u dislike the device u would post about it in a forum dedicated to the Hercules, that's all, is the s3 a great device, absolutely, but so is the s2 and it nobody here cares how much u dislike it, we love it because we do, and that's why we, along with the entire development base for the phone, are still infatuated with it, if u aren't then upgrade

The t989 also has 2gb of ram? You sure about that? Because mine sure as hell doesn't along with the ton of t989s I sold working for T-Mobile..
You're argument is invalid.
Any who back to topic, you get a refurb t989. T-Mobile is still selling the t989 in store so that's not going to change for a long time. Matter of fact before I left T-Mobile, they had just released the steel grey version.

Yes I'm very sure, would u like the exact spec list or does the ss show enough? Stock come with 16gb-64gb storage, 2gb ram, before ICS, when it was still packaged with GB u are right, it had 1gb ram but since ICS and jb it has been increased, and why are u getting such an attitude, I'm not saying anything bad to u, just stating that u are wrong on your specs, I've been hacking for 10+ yrs and I've come to know android in and out, and this specific device even better, so yes I'm sure lol

The T989 along with every other variant of the Galaxy S2 has always had only ONE GB of physical RAM. What you're looking at is STORAGE.
I'm done here lol.

Mines died a few days ago also, they offered me a refurbished s2, a lumia or a mytouch q. Obviously I stuck with a refurbished s2 as the other choices both suck. The lumia has the same/ worse specs in some areas then the s2.

No need to get butthurt lol. I was only stating facts. Not only that I clearly stated that this is a good device, so I'm not trolling, or starting a fanboy war.
When you become this infatuated with a device, you grow ignorant to everything else that's out there. To the point where you and others like yourself will talk down the GS3 to make the GS2 seem like it's a dream when in reality, your opinions are far from the truth. This makes you no better than an iPhone fanboy.
This is completely off topic, but the fact is the GS3 is a worthy upgrade to the GS2.

Free upgrade maybe. If I had to shell out a penny, it would be for a newer model...S4 or N4....definitely not paying for a phone that is a "bit" better, yes it is a bit better.....if I'm paying anything, it would be for something a lot better!

After my experience with the galaxy S and now S2....I'm probably gonna stick with Nexus phones. Probably the one after the N4 now. I like speedy updates, plus the dev section is busy busy. Well, can only speak for my N7 so far.
I do like my S2, and have a year and half left on contract. It handles anything I need it for just fine. So no hurry to upgrade. Maybe if I was hooked on the latest and greatest 3d games....but I don't play many games on my phone.
Don't use the sd slot either.....so I think I'll go nexus when I do get a new one.

Same here. Honestly, all I want is the smoothest experience possible. I'm tired of the missing frames, general choppiness lag that I experience sometimes with my GS2. I considered a Nexus, but I'm not the biggest LG fan. Though their Optimus G2 is one sexy ass device.

I don't understand how people can still be infatuated with this phone. It's a good phone, but it's outdated. Don't know why I haven't upgraded yet, but I'm beyond sick of this device. The Snapdragon s3 chip is showing it's age. I'd take an GS3 any over this phone.

I feel the exact way, for me its the money, If i had enough I would have gotten the galaxy note 2 months ago, same situation with the S4. I don't have a job right now so I can't even afford the extra 20. I wouldn't have any phone service if it weren't for my dad helping me out.
I already ordered an HTC One yesterday which I'll be picking up tomorrow but I might hold back on actually using the new phone. I'm pretty surprised that the Galaxy SII, despite its age still has an abundance of developer support (not to mention the ROM ports with Linaro available)
According to leaks, the Nexus 5 is supposodly coming to Sprint, If so I plan to upgrade to this in when I get my upgrade in February.
Anyone else planning to get the Nexus 5?

Me, probably. I've always wanted a Nexus device. I think I might buy an unlocked GSM version tho.

I'm gonna go for the 32 gb model (assuming it is the largest model, if not... I'll get that) and that will be fine for me. I've NEVER had a phone with as many battery / radio / gps / bs issues as this one... So I'm hoping for the best lol. It looks to be a beast!

Here's the PR from Sprint - Highlight - $149.99 on contract. Preorders start tomorrow.
http://newsroom.sprint.com/news-rel...-sprint-unlimited-data-guarantee-for-life.htm
Now how to get the cash for this.... this is honestly a priority over the G2.
Every AOSP project will need this and I'd like to help make sure we get love this time.
i'm looking closely at this as well. would love to get a nexus, waiting to see if its an easy thing to get it moved over to ting (runs on sprints network and they have all the other lte phones you can byod)
its either that or i'll grab a sprint galaxy nexus and a zero lemon battery and just rock that one for a while
This will be my next phone, I am eligible for an upgrade now, but I need the cash first. Was waiting for the announcement to see if Sprint support was available first. Would have already gotten the MotoX, but I need about 24GB of storage for my everyday usage, so I was thinking HTC One.
Now, I just want it to get a B1G1 or B1G2, or a nice Amazon Wireless discount and I would be EXTRA happy.
**** Added via Edit***
Also just saw that the new wireless charging pad uses magnets for orientation on it, so it should work like the Palm Touchstone, which has usually been considered the best of the wireless chargers. http://www.engadget.com/2013/10/31/google-wireless-charging-pad/
Well... If sprint doesn't announce the 32 gb version during their pre-sale tomorrow.... I'm leaving for Tmo
I purchased the 32 gig model today (can still cancel) but I refuse to pay carrier subsidized prices when I'm bringing my own unsubsidized device. Unless they get me a discount on the 32 gig or get with the times, I'm out.

Love my note 3. Even if it's single band I actually get 4glte in buildings. Although with sprint spark announced and launching here in LA my plan is to sell the note 3 in one year and upgrade to either the S5 or Note4

16 gb = pwn3d.
Also, it is only fifty if you transfer from another carrier and start a new line of service, not for existing customers.

Does anyone know if the subsidized sprint version will be exactly the same as the version from the play store. Will it get updates straight from google?
My 2 years are finally up at the end of the month. If the subsidized version is the same, I can't pass up $150.

I bought the 32 gig version off the play store for 450 after tax
I do have an upgrade though... May buy an iPhone 5s for two hundred and sell it on eBay for 600 to recoup most all of the cost of the nexus. Still deliberating that though.
