Im finaly home.

It took me a while to get here but im back to verizon and i gots the ice cream sandwich
i started out with the evo 4g on sprint i switched to them to get it cause there plans were cheaper they replaced it 10 months later with the evo 3d through insurance. it was a nice phone but the sprint network has piss poor data and no 4g in phoenix az so i got them to kick me off when they changed the contract on people with employe discounts, i flashed the Phone to cricket thinking i could deal with the **** network as-long as the price was cheep well that wasn't the case either so i sold that device. i bought the galaxy s2 from tmobile and while it was a nice device and the hsdpa + was super fast anytime i when inside a building it switched two 2g and i started missing calls. so i took that phone back after 7 days.
i realized then that i wasn't going to be happy till i made it back to verizon even though the cost would be more i knew it would be worth it.
so i purchased the razr impulse buy they were out of nexus a few days later i had buyers remorse so i went back to the store and returned it for the nexus the prize gem.
so here i am back with verizon loving it and cant wait to make my self at home in the new sub community of xda
thats my story and i felt the need to share

Thanks for sharing.

[Q] [Question] Do I get the Sprint Galaxy Nexus?

Nexus 4 not an option, so what do I do now?
Here's my question: Sprint Galaxy Nexus owners, do I buy it, or should I get something else.
I really want AOSP. I'm really tired of physical and capacitive buttons. I currently have the SGSII Epic 4G Touch. I want a Google phone.
So, has this phone lived up to your expectations? What do you hate about it? Is it just freaking awesome? Ready? GO!

I'm kind of in the same position as you, I cannot get the Nexus 4 on VZW. I'm really not upset about it, I'm very happy with the Gnex, especially on CM10. Can't speak for Sprint but as for the phone I'm still happy with it after 8 months, and plan to keep it for the foreseeable future.:good: Like you said, its hard to go wrong with AOSP.

How's your battery life? My E4GT has been nothing been a pain, battery-wise.

Battery life is not great. I'm using the OEM extended battery and I still have to have a charger at work.

Drop your sprint contract (is it close to expiring?) if you can. Sell your epic 4g touch and switch to straight talk and buy a nexus 4. I used to have an e4gt flashed on virgin mobile and the sprint service I got was horrible. My new set up is much better. Also your monthly bill savings will make up for the cost of the phone fast.

I've been considering that, but my savings would be negligible since we're on a family plan. Also, since I get to be selfish and take everyone's upgrades, I'll be able to hand-me-down the Galaxy Nexus when something cool comes out... I'm so lost! I really have been seriously considering just buying the damn Nexus 4 and shopping other plans off contract. Is it really that much better?
...and, Target has the GNex for $49.99 right now.

I just bought a Sprint Galaxy Nexus and have right now an Epic 4G Touch! I am sure it'll be worth it. I bought it for around 225 off contract and ill sell this for around 150$ so it's like I spent only 70 bucks. I wouldn't panic. If you wanted a new phone you can sell the Gnex since it'll still hold its value. Waiting has got me nowhere and I know the Nexus 4 isn't coming to Sprint any time soon. Good luck!

I got the GNex with sprint this August.. I love this phone. The curved screen, so much dev support, Google support. Well, kinda. I been rooted since day one so always been on custom ROMs and kernels. My battery last all day with 4 hr screen on time with the extended battery that Sprint gives you for free. I say if you have LTE in your city go with the GNex. We have LTE here in San Antonio and it just keeps getting better and better. I don't know why people keep on hating on sprint, I have awesome service here.

goodbye cruel world (i mean crappy sprint service) !!!

after much debate and 12 yrs of sprint cell service it is time to move on. i always knew sprint didnt have the best coverage but until i started playing ingress, i didnt really realize how bad it actually is. over the past few months, there have been many, many times when i have had full 3g data coverage but data is unusable. this is mainly true for the larger cities and towns around these parts. it is extremely sad that i have to use my girlfriends hotspot to use the data. i saddens me to say (not really) but i have switched to verizon and the service is 10000x better in this area. believe it or not, it is also cheaper with her on my account with a shared plan. i think i saved over $30 a month.
so, i say, good bye to my sprint family, i bid you farewell !!!
ohh and, anyone want to buy a virtually new note 2 with multiple cases and batteries?

We have suffered a great loss.
You da man t3.
But I agree.
Sprint is actually the worst phone service to ever be in business.
I wish I could switch.
I will probably pay the etf and get t mobile.
Tired of this company and their horrible data.

12 years? Damn I didnt last 12 months on their horrible network, sure unlimited data is nice but not when ur getting dialup speeds. It was great having you around though for our phones development. Enjoy the new speeds over at verizon man

kcmo checking in here. great sprint 3g and lte, and wimax for the older phones. we are doing just fine over here. enjoy capped data. personally, on our 5 lines we used 23 gb last month, so i dont think i could go to any other network and not get hit with tons of overages.

Tmobile dude faster 3g service than our lte. No caps like us. Around same price of not cheaper. Gsm goodieness. Better battery life because of Gsm. Wifi calling for free. Once your done paint for the phone your bill drops.
The only reason why we haven't switched it simply because they don't offer us a discount and that is why sprint is the cheaper option for us personally.

of course, because you are playing in sprint's front yard. and after looking at my data usage of the past 2 yrs, i have never used over 2gb so im not too particularly worried about capped data. besides i stay on wifi 75% of the time anyway.

i will never ever ever ever switch to tmobile. they even have lte in kansas city where i live. i still wont go for it.
the unsubsidized phone kills it for me. i buy a phone every year. since i have 9 lines with sprint total, they break me off great deals on my main line upgrade. in the last 4 years i have had the touchpro 2, the epic 4g, the evo 3d, the epic 4g touch and the note 2. the note 2 was the only one i paid for, and i got it for 149 1 month after launch.
why would i want to go back to the dark ages of paying full price for my phone?
even if i did want to do the tmoblile payment option, it wouldnt save me any money. i juust checked the note 2 on tmo. they want 149 down plus 20 per month for 24 months.my bill wouldnt go donw at 24 months. i would be wanting a new phone. there for reupping the payment plan. theyve found a way to to keep you in a contract with out the actual contract and making you buy your own phone. good god damned they are some good hustlers

I've been with sprint for awhile now I had to pay for samsung moment 179.99 and took them ages finally admitting it was a pos. Then gave me an upgrade had to pay for htc Evo shift. Traded for Epic 4g before 30 days. Paid 299.99 for Note 2. ****ty service all the way since from North Carolina to Texas. My buddy pays less than I do for 3 lines on Tmobile and had better service were ever we go.

So I guess this means that Project ROM will no longer be supported by you? Still rocking 2.6 over here :good:

lucky i got the radio shack employee plan $33 a month including 4glte and all...

I live by detroit and every week I find a new place that had really bad 3g now have lte....I have used in this billing cycle aka 17 days 5.08 gigs of data.

You will be missed. Luckily I get good lte and in my bill cycle I pull in easily 25gb just on my phone and about 5-10gb on my three others.
Best of luck :beer::thumbup:

I switched from Sprint to Verizon about 2 years ago and 4 months ago Sprint GOT LTE in my area so I came back. Happy as ever now. Last month used 65 gbs of data. I average about 20-30 down and 6 up.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium

I've considered leaving a few times. But I get a 25% discount and have a 6 line family plan. Call quality is awesome, but data is so-so. We're getting more and more lte coverage though. So it is improving.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium

I'm not switching any time soon. My bill would be through the roof. Last month, I broke 100GB of data transfer. Since I swtich the GN2 from the Evo4G, I was usually in the 50-65GB; preGH2 it was around 30-35GB.
I don't know any internet at work, so I use the phone. I watch a lot of sports and movies. I have around 6 to 7 hours of dead time to fill.

TMobile Cyber Monday Deal

There is a good deal for Note 3, 0$ down and 96$ off , so only comes around 25$ compared to usual 29$
I was planning to wait till christmas/new year but this deal also looks good.
Do you guys think we will have better discounts during new year, should i wait ?

I made a move on this deal over the weekend. Also picked up the HTC One for my wife. We're moving to TMo from Sprint and looking forward to it.

Just got this deal but after trying all day (website was down, CS having issues processing Sprint port order) the Note 3 is on backorder. Was hoping to get it before I leave for Vegas Thursday but at least I got the deal

I got myself a Note 3. And got my buddy a G2 and put him on my account. I spent like 100$, plus 30$ for one of the invisishield full body protector things for my nexus. Not too shabby.
I also got myself a Nexus 5 last week which was 107$ after tax. Now they are on sale for 0$ down and there's a promo code to get like 30 or 40$. Should a waited. But I love that phone so it was worth it.

I would go for it bro. I previously had it on Verizon before switching to T-Mobile so I could get the Nexus 5. Which is the only phone I dig more then the Note 3 and Nexus 4. Got the nexus 5 about a week ago now and I saw the deal on the Note 3 yesterday so went and got one for myself. Its kinda weird having two phones. Like I said I like the Nexus more but I can't resist the awesomeness of the note 3 as well.
So that should tell you how great it is and that it's worth getting now. Normally I would never rock two phones at once. And this time around I can actually do some mods and flash custom Roms to the Note 3 unlike when I had it for Verizon.

I ust did the same thing. Got so fed up with Sprint's BS service. **** you Sprint!!!

Lol I just got me a note 3 last Friday and left Sprint for T-Mobile as well looks like everybody is tired of the mess and I work for them!!! But couldn't have picked a better device soo in love!

Sprint sucks
Everyone and their mom's leaving Sprint for T-Mobile? Lol count me in to the club, I just got my Sprint account termination letter due to excessive roaming. Me and my wife are very interested on getting this phone but we missed on the cyber Monday deal. My sprint service is set to be disconnected on December 26, I hope they have another sale on the note just around that time.
How much speeds difference have you guys seen between Sprint and T mobile?

In the end the phone will probably be around the same price, just zero down vs 100 $ or so down.
There is someone over at the anandtech forums that has a Tmo GN3 for 550$.

Left Sprint as well for tmobile. Speeds are way faster than what Sprints Lte service was in NYC.
Got the Note 3 during the cyber Monday deal.
Was with Sprint for 8 years but it was time to finally move on.

Snagged the T-Mobile Note 3 on the Cyber Monday deal and am loving it. Switched from Verizon to stop overpaying for data.
If you didn't get the deal for Cyber Monday (or the whole weekend for that matter), the T-Mobile in our area seems to ALWAYS be running sales or specials. You may be able to snag it at Christmas, if your willing to play their game a little. Some minor customer coercion/pity can go a far way, even if they aren't currently offering it.

Well its been a fun 3 months

So I got the Note 2 with new contract with At&t almost 3 months ago. But seems like development has come to a very slow uphill roll (like how I said uphill). Which is sad because this device IMO is amazing. But T-Mobile has that "we will pay your ETF" promotion going on and they also buy your device so you can buy one of their devices. In which case I only paid $99 for my Note 2 and Im pretty sure they'll give me more than that for it. Plus their plans are less expensive. I pay $127 a month with At&t just for myself and it's only a 4GB plan. Which really sucks because now Im like a vulture everywhere I go trying to find free WiFi connections so I don't burn up my data.
*if anybody has made the switch to T-Mobile via this promotion could you please let me know how the transition went. What did they actually pay for and how much did they give you for your Note 2?
Thanks
