Best phone so far.

3 weeks ago I sold GSM Galaxy Nexus for $350 and purchased a Galaxy S III on 2 year contract with T-Mobile for $200. I would do it again in a heart beat.

You should have paid 99$ go back to the store and ask for a price match, that's what i did and they credited my debit card the 100$ difference

I have owned every Android phone that T-MOUSA has ever released and by far this is the best of them all in every sense. This is the first Android phone that is buttery smooth from the box. I also have always hated Manufacturer UI overlays but have grown very fond of TW 4 or what ever it is called.
Ofcourse this is my personal opinion.

Yes yes yes

Wait for the Note 2. But if you can't wait, the S3 is a very good choice.

If you have any question about what phone to get next, please use the **Device Suggestion Thread**

absolutely agree....This phone stock is badass and everything just works on top of that is buttery smooth. this is the first stock rom that I stayed on and said wow I could get used to this. I stayed on it for quite a while but then had to venture off to cm10 also our development is getting better by the day. Our cm10 based roms are pretty much daily drivers which is awesome cuz a lot of phones either have audio issues or data issues...again everything pretty much just works. The camera on this phone is so amazing especially in low light that definitely wowed me. To sum it all up it is the best phone on the market imo and the best t-mobile has ever had.... Just get it!!! No right now op get in your car and head to the nearest t-mobile store and grab this bad boy

The rest of the thread kinda caps the overall view of the phone and I'd be lieing to say anything other than perfection. Like mentioned a few times already its power and clarity is just amazing and it even makes you wonder if its even worth rooting from first impressions as this community has such an obvious influence over the systems functionality.
Multitasking is a breeze, it handles everything you throw at it and still offers more when you ask for it. Im glad I bought it as much as everyone else here does.

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.

Good
I love T-Mobile :highfive:

I think I would rather buy the HTC one over the S4

Tmobile fb just announce s4. Next week baby

Just wondering what the s4 will do that my s3 can't?

I've never been a fan of LG devices... but this is one I might just be tempted to get...
http://www.nextpowerup.com/news/1076/lg-smartphone-with-snapdragon-800-soc-benchmarked.html
I knew the Adreno 330 was going to be a beast of a chip but I had no idea it would clock like THAT!
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!

S4
Thinking of upgrading from S3 to S4.... Is it worth the money ?????

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

Ok so I have Epic 4G Touch. I can upgrade to the S4 right now or should I wait for something better maybe S5. My S2 is still rocking and rolling many many many thanks to all the Developers here.

If your problem is only with large screen then go for it! Because when I bought my S3, my first thought in mind after unboxing was "seriously, why did I even buy this huge phone" (saw S3 first time). Now I don't regret having large screen and I love it now. I'm sure you will get used with it also and start loving the 5" 1920x1080p screen.

My co-worker has it, so I have had a chance to play with it already. It's not much bigger than the E4GT, but I want a phone where I can reach across with my thumb without having my palm activating stuffs on the edge of the screen.
The other reason is the E4GT just start working well enough after all these years, so I'll wait for more stable ROMs first

More stable? I think the ROMs coming out now fire this device are the most stable ones I have ever used, but I'm coming from the EVO Shift.

I'm waiting for the SG4 variant called the Active. Milspec, waterproof, etc. Other than that, I want a Note 2 (yeah, the pixel density isn't as high as the SG4 but whatever).

I don't understand people by saying can I buy this or wait
For what I'm waiting special at this time. I wish my contract could upgrade now. S4 and HTC one both phones are best why not to enjoy with this phone on time . instead of waiting unknown phone and date release come on falks wake up

I would assume the manufacture warranty would cover it but I'm not sure. Also, it's just my personal preference. I miss HTC and there build quality. The S4 is nice, I would upgrade to it if I wanted another Samsung.

I don't think so. Standard warranties are one year. If it's out of that year, I don't think they'll cover it.

If it last you another year, your upgrade is ready and you get a new phone. But who knows. Go with what you feel comfortable with.

Note 2 dropped in the water, looking for a new device

Hey guys!
As it happens, my Note 2 is now feeding crabs in Mediterranean sea.
I've had a long journey with that phone, got a couple of extended batteries for it, a case, a protection glass and was not planning to change for at least another year, but as it happens, now I need to go for another device.
At first it was a no-brainer to go for Note 3 because of it's similarities, but I've checked the other phones and I'm really intrigued by Nexus 5 and LG G2
Basically, just want to hear what you guys think on this...how much can I get a used Note 2 for, btw?

Doesn't make sense. Thought you dropped it in the sea and it's feeding crabs. Now want to sell it? I'd say it's worth nothing.

G3 runs out of the box as well as any phone out there including those running custom roms.... LG has done a bang up job on it. One reason that devs are lagging I suspect.... Good luck to you...
Sent from my LG-D851 using Tapatalk

Dont really think this post was needed but hey, its here...
The G3 has its drawbacks as any phone does honestly, a locked bootloader is just that. Either wait it out, dont buy it or move along. All this was known prior to buying the phone so its your call, not like its a surprise. The T-Mobile version, being unlocked doesnt have enough base support for Devs to be overly interested in it and will be slow going. Hopefully once a fully working AOSP build is available things, at least for the T-Mobile version should pick up some. If you want an out the box supported phone do research prior to buying it, Nexus, One Plus One, HTC, Motorola etc. Companies that either give you the tolls to unlock, or model lines that are unlocked across all carriers are the way to go now a days...shouldnt be surprising.

So now your wanting the Nexus 6? You said the Note 4 would blow the G3 away so I thought you were set on it. I had Galaxy phones and the Note 2 but got tired of the same design. I'm thinking on trying the Note 4 but still happy with my G3. Also thinking on the Z3 just because it's something different. Last 3 phones were LG G2, Flex and G3. Also thought about iPhone 6 but that probably won't happen.

i thought about the M8 but i couldnt get over two simple things that bugged me, first i didnt feel the screen size was sufficient because of the htc logo on the bottom took too much space and second was the camera, i have a toddler and i need to film everything.... maybe that rumored htc m8-eye..... or nexus x if its not 5.9' size.
so much to love about the G3 as well, if business picks up here in the following month i wont feel the pressure to jump one more time.
love the feel, the size of the screen is perfect, and the bezels alone just make this easily the best looking phone of the year.
