Any word on premium features - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Any word on premium features coming to the phone after s4 release. I'm not blown away with s4, so I might try to make it one more phone cycle.
Also, any way to get a bit more out of the camera? That's been my biggest disappoint with the phone. I know the s4 has a better sensor, but from what I'm reading, it's processing is not stellar.
Cheers

I picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue
Had no idea today was release day. Can't wait for it to post, or of course to come ota.
Thanks.

Kind of cool that Sprint is releasing this on S4 day. Its in their best interests, since very very few S3 users will upgrade...just some of the devs and fanboys, I suppose.
Once I get it, I could care less about the S4.

I agree. I have one more year on my contract and my S3 is in good condition. No hurry to drop full price in a S4 aka S3s lol

Also, the S3 is the last phone to support SVDO (simulataneous voice and 3G data)
At least from the looks of it anyway, seeing that the S4 and HTC One only have SVLTE

All phones have SV4G/WiFi be they LTE or WiMax. And yes SVDO is going the way of the dodo as the new 1x-advanced band will allow for SV3G without the added hardware.

Yes, but as of now, 3G is everywhere LTE isn't (and for a long time to come for a lot of people). Some never even saw WiMax in it's lifespan.

Yeah but the thing is, when its added at the source level (Java code thats then compiled into all the Touchwiz apps and framework) it tends to be much more stable than if we hack it in

I don't think I will but only because of the size. I have small hands and the E4GT is at the top of my comfort level already but the Note is a sweet looking device so I will give it a look if it does come to Sprint. I think the rumored Sprint name is the Galaxy Journal?

Again nothing official but this add for a Sprint feature shows an unbranded Galaxy Note. Maybe there is something to the rumors that Sprint will get it. I believe kc_exactly said as much in another thread.

I believe kc said he had a note a gnex a evo lte and something else. I would drop this phone in a heartbeat for the note/journal. I already struggle trying to type in portrait on this phone.
I always keep my phone on my hip so a case would not be needed by me, but I do understand the concern.

I really would like to get one but I'm having second thoughts about paying full price for a bigger screen. I should, but doubt I will knowing my impulsiveness, wait to see if there's any problems initially like there was with this phone when it first comes out. I will also wonder what kind of specs the g3 well have and when it will be here for us. Those are the two I'm watching. Also, if the note still has a dual core snapdragon when it comes out for us, I might pass. Two steps forward with the hardware then one back with the CPU.
Id buy one first day.

Very true statement. If it domes with an S4pro with the new adreno gpu that thing will be a monster. I know that Samsung will eventually integrate lte in their processors but when is the question.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Yes. Give me one with LTE and any exynos processor and I would be totally satisfied and have no need for anything else for the rest of that contract at least!
With how big the battery is, couldn't they just put an lte radio in there and have a toggle to turn it off and on like wimax? Then it would still be our responsibility to watch the battery. I could totally go for something like that as long as they kept the exynos. But do not count out the S4pro it has the upgraded gpu also with lte built on the die.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
If it came with ICS out of the box, and LTE support. Would definitely pick it up.
Because I too will be paying full price (unless I come up with a way to sweet talk an early upgrade out of someone) and since I'm not even 100% sold on getting the phone, I'm definitely going to wait awhile and see how it performs. Also the extra wait time will allow a chance for the SG3 to possibly make an appearance, that's the phone I really want.
But I'm a major gadget whore so there's no guarantee what I will or won't buy regardless the cost. lol
I don't know...I like the Note, but I would need a few things in order to lock myself in for 2 more years for it. First, LTE capability. ICS would be good, but not necessary at launch for me.
It would need an upgraded processor though. With the Evo LTE coming out and the SGS III likely to be announced sometime soon, I don't want to get stuck with a last gen processor for 2 years.
Honestly, I probably won't make a decision on my next phone until I see what Sammy has up their sleeve.

Android 4.2.1 for Verizon

*sigh* and again Verizon's ruins our "Google experience" by being Verizon... I'm sure some (if not all) heard this: Sprint Galaxy Nexus Android 4.2.1 OTA Update (GA02) Available For Download Right Now From Google
I call _ALL_ Verizon customers who owns Galaxy Nexus to go to your Facebook/Twitters account and make a post on Verizon's official page and let them know about it!

true, but hopefully this will speed process up a bit if a lot of people voice their opinion... i mean you can do nothing and just wait or you can say something and then go back to waiting... so I'd rather say something, and if a lot of people start talking they'd start moving too.
from my experience with verizon and the thunderbolt's ICS update...it's not worth the time to hit up the social networks.
they'll just tell you it's coming to silence you then months go by without an update.

haha)) it's better to do it on social media, this way you get much better visibility and others sees that as well and hopefully verizon will feel somewhat ashamed and actually do something about it!
I used to have Verizon and now have sprint and struggling with school and full time job I sometimes forget to pay my bill. Verizon financial service cuts my service then makes me pay the re activation fee but with sprint I can call and tell them I can pay next week and they simply say okay.
But no 4g lte sucks but they do update the gnex rather quick.
Its a give or take with your service provider. I don't think there's that perfect provider right now.

Personally custom roms are better but its the principle that makes people go crazy for an update.
Also considering the vzw gnex have antenna issues, some people may actually need the update for the new radios

the beauty about #nexus is that ROM doesn't have any customization which in a lot cases causing instability for every day use, so I'd rather use stock ROM, but back to my HTC Thunderbolt days, I couldn't stand stock so I went w/ CM7 and I _LOVED_ it!

I was getting tired of the sgs3 regarding updates. 5.0 will come soon and we aren't even on 4.2 . once I had the nexus which I got as a replacement due to Tmobile not having sgs3 in stock ( don't ask weird situation). I realized I missed the drop down toggles and how quick it was to silent the phone. There's also no WiFi calling which is only important to me at work since I work in the basement and need to have for my wife and emergency calls. Also lack of SD which I though wasn't going to be an issue is. I hate having to transfer all my pictures and the ones that don't fit I'd rather not have stored on the cloud. I guess aside from getting quick updates and vanilla android, its not such an upgrade for me. It us for others but the sgs3 is more my style for the features that I use it for. :/. Getting a brand new one from Tmobile at non cost due to what happened. I do have to return the n4 though but I think I won in this situation.

Its a T-Mobile build too... Note the build fingerprint... "lge/g2_tmo_us"
One way or another I'm waiting for Snapdragon 800 devices to drop later this year before upgrading... That's just insane!

Early reports say no... And the bootloader is locked as well. They managed to root it but it may be awhile before custom ROMs can be installed. Battery life is worse than the One as well (its marginally better than the battery life of the S3 by early accounts).
If you have an S3, I would recommend waiting at least until Google I/O to see what they have up their sleeves... The Snapdragon 800 devices are coming this year and they look to be beasts... Hell do a Google on "LG D801" and see what I mean...
Tegra 4i is coming too. Its too early to jump into another device in my opinion - the S3 just has so much life left in it.
Point taken, I think i'll wait for a while and will also check out the LG, besides I am addicted to flashing Custom Roms ..... by the way the toggle 2g app is pretty good for conserving Battery, I have a very heavy Phone usage that includes 4 Email Accounts set on Push and several hours of call time daily and still the battery lasts me the whole day and that app alone is reason enough for me to stay away from phones that are still under early stages of Rom Development. Thanks for the Fast response btw

It makes no mention of any devices other than international models. Samsung, however, usually ports the updates over for other models and if the carrier won't accept the update samsung will just drop the source and a straight from them update you can grab off the site. This time tho you can almost guarantee sprint will accept all of the updates based on softbanks track record of updating devices for 24 months if possible.

Softbank has been good about updating out to 24 months, mostly because unlike americans, the Japanese don't live in a disposable society. They re purpose things, hand them down, recycle and resell them etc. With the softbank/sprint merger I would see softbank pushing for continued updates as well as sprint wanting the continued updates to give them even more of an edge over their competition. Vzw tends to eol device's after 6-12 months, whereas if sprint continues updating out the full contract it will entice more people to sign a contract since their device's wont be outdated halfway in.

And GSM vs CDMA but that's controlled mainly by the modem.bin and a few files in the rom itself which aren't a huge deal for samsung to port. All of our software has been ported from the International version and they even leave alot of the inactive code behind.

i know i won't be jumping ship for some time, i got away from verizon because of my usage isn't "unlimited" and i don't need to spend that much money on upgrades/contracts, so i'll be with this phone and my wife will be as well (probably until it dies)

If the i9100 gets it, so will we. If not officially, somebody will port 4.2.2 TW here. Either way, 4.2.2 source for i9100 will be immensely helpful for our devs, particularly kernel devs.

Just sold my s3 on craiglist and got s4 yesterday.
So thanks to all devs and friends of s3. And mods too.
I know mods goona lock this thread but still I cant stop saying bye.

We might get a full s4 rom ported by this summer so for me the upgrade is just not worth it at all.. the only difference will be better camera and screen but that's about it

Even then, that camera scratches easily. People are scratching it already. It won't be so great when its all scratched up. I've not scratched my S3 and it was caseless for two weeks! Stupid oversight on Samsung's part!

Cool story bro

I gotta say I'm not jealous...I'm content with my S3
Though it's a pretty good gesture, the devs really do a good job here!
I'm quite happy with the S3, the only phone I see worth upgrading to is either the Note III or the next nexus phone (only if it isn't made by LG and the back isnt made of glass). But I wouldn't switch to either devices the second they come out, I would wait a month or two and see what ROMs and type of community both devices have and pick the one that suits me better.
Oh and bikrame I hope you enjoy your S4, seems like there's a few people here that envy you.

buy me one? lol i will leave when the time is right. i havent even made a rom for this phone yet. (im behind on schedule)
I was totally going to make a thread like this. But I wanted to stop by and say thank you to everyone that has helped in this forum. You guys are all great and I hope to see you all on the other side someday!

Jokes on him, hope he's getting a T-Mobile s4 because I do believe every other carrier still have bootloaders locked...wish I had the money for a better device every 6 months

Att is locked, Verizon undoubtedly will be locked, Sprint and T-Mo are unlocked. No word on regional carriers yet.

ATT bootloader is unlocked but djrbliss is holding the exploit to himself until Big Red drops their S4. Hopefully that same exploit will unlock theirs as well. Should be by the end of this month.
See you around @bikrame. Hope all goes well with your new device and if you ever need anything, don't hesitate to ask. I'll be lurking in the Int'l S4 section, but might pop in the TMo version for a look see here and there. Keep those knuckleheads in line over there. :highfive:
