Develop Bugs

Hello - New to XDA, Sprint, and Android

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!

Second week you'll be a bit confused, unsure.

For starters I would recommend SwiftKey X free trial (i purchased)

welcome welcome...

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...

SIII or Optimus G

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.

Please post this question in the appropriate thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1884701
This thread shall soon be locked by one of our many mods. Thank you for posting. Please have a nice day.

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

Going Back To Note II

So after about 2 months with the ZL I ordered me a Like New Note II on Amazon, Lost money in this:/ should had never switched. Paid 635$ for the ZL and cant even sell it for $500 Not even locally. so I`m in debt for a little til I sell this. The ZL is a GREAT Phone, I just miss the extra .5inch screen and most of all I miss samsung, I never liked Samsungs software but EVERY time I end up getting a different brand of a phone I ALWAYS end up going back to samsung always been like that since the Galaxy S1 haha.

the ONLY reason I wanted to leave was that i Was tired of samsungs software it sucks. I do love Sony`s Software.

This thread is going to get shut down

Report it. Like I'm doing now. This isn't facebook. No one cares when you switch phones or what color shirt you are wearing today. Post something about the Note 2 and no one will give you crap. Post this pointless crap and you will get flamed. If you want to post dumb things go to off topic.

Wot? Samsung's software sucks? I wouldn't switch to AOSP just because I'll miss out on Touchwiz functionality.
Anyways, pointless thread is pointless.

Off topic=
This is a development site in the Q&A section ( which should be general ) meaning it relates to experiences not solely development. Also subject matter is in direct correlation to the OP. If you feel it is inappropriate content you should direct attention to a moderator, not try being one. /off topic
Maybe more explanation as to why the devices are different and reasons why you prefer one to the other would be more beneficial.

It's from all the ungrateful people in this section that pissed him off. Looks like he completely stopped development for the T-mobile variant. Way to go guys.

That's what I was afraid of. I really liked his builds on the Sprint S3, its too bad that a few bad eggs have to ruin it for the rest of us over here.
Back to CM nightlies I guess.

Sent from Flip's Galaxy S4

That's no big surprise, most of the people on this s4 forum and the at&t s4 forum are pretty ungrateful and expect everything to just drop in their laps. With how much people piss and moan around here it's amazing there are as many devs as there are.

Yep. I had it deleted. I just received waaay too many complaints without any effort to help troubleshoot anything. I just don't have the time in my days to continue to support something like that when I could use that time for devices that I do actually own when there are users that actually contribute. With working two jobs, my daughter, and my family there is a serious lack of time for that. Sorry to the rest of you, but it needed to happen.

Can do what ever I want. See, people do respond. There is no help here. You can not respond also. But hey, you go on with your bad self, because your awesome. It's general area.

Why did you feel the need to start this thread, rather than just leave? What possible outcome were you hoping for when posting this?

Too bad for you. Mine just works fine.

Before this gets even more nasty...
OP, good luck with your next phone and hope it is exactly what you are looking for
FYI, the only phone getting a ton of development these days is the Nexus..because of its reputation of being open, unlocked and quick with the updates
There are just too many phones being released each year and not enough developers probably because of entitled users yelling at them for not updating quick enough
Also consider Verizon locking up both their Samsung and HTC phones, and AT&T locking down their Sammy phones...these are the biggest US carriers.
All of this contributes to killing Sprint development
