Big upgrade over an HTC EVO LTE? - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have had my EVO LTE for 2+ years with Sprint. Rarely have had LTE service with Sprint so I just preordered with T-MOBILE. What should I expect?

Yes, there is: use the phone in the early morning or late at night.

When did you start your contract and if you keep pushing it you can but is a lot calls for it to get you out free in the other hand the price of the GN should be enough to get out of ETF( that's what I did)

i just renewed last month. dam so sell the phone for 300 and that should pay the eft fee.
As has been posted here and all over the web several thousand times, Sprint's 3G data speeds are terrible pretty much nationwide. They have a few markets that are ok, but many aren't

Well you could get closed to 400$ but I would try to see if sprints lets you go without fee

flash a Verizon prl on your phone and consume alot of data and sprint will boot you after a month or two of alot of roaming etf free. Its what I am doing.

I would do that as well. But I have three phones on one account and that means buying all new phones and 2gnexs and an epic 4g won't pay for new phones and contracts. Unfortunately I'll have to deal with it. Until LTE hits me. At least I hope it does.

when you sell your sprint phones when they cancel your service it will more than cover your new phones. You would actually come out ahead a little.

AT&T GoPhone is one of the worst choices for prepaid smartphones.
Unlocked gsm nexus might wait until thanksgiving for the new 5 nexus devices
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
this is precisely why i'm leaving Sprint and going to T-Mobile. the 4G Wimax is fast (5000kbps) but none of the newer Sprint phones are using Wimax anymore and Sprint's 3G is crawling at <500kbps. Can't wait to activate my nexus on T-Mobile when my SIM comes in!

The only problem I had with it was on the unlimited everything plan for $50, they booted me when they found out I wasn't using a dumb phone but that was after trying to download a ROM haha. Switching to another European phone put data right back on.

Very cool, I still remember the old GSM vs. CDMA days where this was always an advantage to GSM. I'll have to read up on SVDO, it's funny this is no where advertised!

ROMS for Metropcs GS3??

So I currently own both e4gt and gs3 on Sprint and I'm tempted to make the jump to Metro since they have lte in my area and Sprint won't have it till Q2 of next year ; I'm hesitated because I love flashing roms and there isn't a specific forum for the device. Could someone give me some advice on it? TIA :beer:

Since the phone is really a sprint device I'd assume the sprint roms would work on a flashed gs3. If 4G works after the phone is flashed I'd love to know because sprint's data speeds are despicable

I wouldn't flash it over to Metro since I wouldn't have 4g lte. I'd sell both sg2&sg3 and buy the Metro gs3. I'm just wondering what ROM I could flash.

Oh... I didn't know metro was going to be carrying it. If the hardware is the same as the us variants (dual core 1.5 and 2 gigs ram) I would try one of those. The first hurdle is getting root access

Like I just commented . if this is inside your house or just your overall coverage at your city/town I would suggest to switch companies or something. Lol

Your speeds look similar to what I get in NoVa. There is already a thread dedicated to this topic... no need for another.

Hold out a bit longer. Once you get 4g in your area you'll be glad you stayed with sprint.

2 years is loyal? That's just one contract term you agreed to. Let us know when you're at 10 years.

Mines the opposite. 10 years of crap service, now decent service. They added a tower in my area in 2010. Been with Sprint since 1999.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
I have been with Sprint since '98 and I have been very happy with my service until the last couple of years... seems to be about when the iPhone arrived at Sprint (coincidence?).
I am still very happy with the voice service, reasonably happy with the price but the data network has gone to crap. If I did not have Wifi at home and work (where I spend most of my time) I would not be able to stand it. It was good for a little while when I could get Wimax on my Evo in spots. Now that I have upgraded to the S3 I am playing the waiting game again... wondering when Sprint will fix the 3G and bring LTE. I am patient and I will stick by Sprint for a while longer... no way I am going to VZ or ATT. Not sure which is worse. Not sure TMO is an option for me either.
Been with them since 09. Lol
