Sprint ONLY

Thread for all Sprint only related posts.

Since there is not a thread specifically for individual carriers I figured it would be a good idea to start one for each. Feel free to post anything Sprint related.

Cool thread.

Can't wait for the SGS2

Do we have a forum for the sprint version of the galaxy s2?

I may skip over the SGSII and wait for the Nexus Prime. Looks like a beast of a phone.

Supposedly due out around Thanksgiving time...just have to hope it launches on Sprint.

I would love to get the nexus prime. It does sound like it's going to be off the hook.

Indeed, but I am just also waiting for ANY news of either phone. Given the GVoice integration and NS4G, I am banking on Sprint getting it at launch or shortly after.
Oh yeah; GO SPRINT!

The only thing I don't like about Sprint, is that they aren't working on getting 10 inch tablets on 3G/4G. Why don't we have a 4G Xoom yet? That's really what I'm holding out for. An awesome 10 inch tablet!
Other than that Sprint rocks! Love my EVO even after a year.

I am interested in this also.

Anyone have the EVO 3D w/ Sprint? Is it much better than the EVO 4G?

Ah the future!
Not due for an upgrade till next year! But unless something INCREDIBLY awesome comes out between now and then I'm pretty sure I'm gonna stick with my Evo 4g. The question is what will we have available when the time comes? I can't wait to see! With the Evo being my first and only android device I'm sure Sprint will have something good and mindblowing waiting for me!

I switched from AT$T and I haven't regretted it. Only thing is the coverage can be spotty... but gotta love unlimited data!

I've messed around with it quite a bit. Performance wise it is better, obviously, since it has a dual core processor.
I'm thinking about upgrading just for the speed. I could care less about the 3D feature. That's just an added bonus.
It's always nice having a family plan with two lines. I get an upgrade a year because my mom doesn't like touch screen phones and enjoys her rumor 2 or whatever I got her last time I was on ebay. So I just resign the contract every other year on each line and get a new phone at the contract price.

Haven't heard of an official release, but I was wondering if anyone has noticed in the Samsung App store that there is an app called Demo Mode for Galaxy S Plus? I'm wondering if this is an entirely different phone that was never brought to the states and had little hype or if this is a precursor to the actual existance of this phone.

Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

sadly i think ill be downgrading to the thunderbolt. i picked 1 up on the 6th so i could get unlimited data and unless sprint gets there network fixed by the 20th ill be returning my 3d and view and canceling my other 2 lines. i just cant deal with this 28k data network and there continued broken dates of when it will be resolved.

I'll be upgrading to whatever the cool new phone is hot in 22 months, LOL! Hopefully it will include teleportation and a built-in 3D printer.

keeping my evo 4g for the time being, sprint upgrade isnt due till almost a year from now for me, hopefully HTC will stop being douches by then , if not im jumping ship to another phone make, probably one of those galaxy phones all i know is this latest gingerbread release/fiasco has me really wary about htc now...i hate my evo 4g until i can remove this GB 2.3 pos from it

i will never own another Samsung..have had three and they all were POS's.
Hoping something comes out by Oct that is catches my eye.

Im hoping the blast will become a fone and come to Sprint it seems more like a proper evo 2 than the 3d

Im moving to California in a couple weeks and am curious too see how sprints 4g does cause i dont have it here in New Mexico. If i dont like it i may end up switching to T-mobile. I am in love with the Sensation! But it all depends on speeds right now and network quality.

Galaxy SII probably

I'll stick with the EVO 4G for a long time, until my contract expires next winter.

Forgoing the gimmicky 3D for the sexy curves of the Sensation. Just waiting for it to be permanently rooted... any day now.

More than likely waiting for the Nexus Prime if it's released on Sprint.

probably the Galaxy S II

i have no idea, I was certain I was going to upgrade to the evo3d but I wasn't that impressed and got a xoom wifi tablet.
I will probably just keel the evolution until next year

I'm waiting for the nexus prime as well. Hooray for ice cream sandwich!

I just upgraded to the Nexus s 4g. I love this thing, all my future Android phones will be Nexus phones. Just wish Sprint had 4g in San Diego and Twentynine Palms

Well, I would have put my vote toward the Galaxy S II. But when will it ever come Sate side is anyone's guess. Technology moves fast and every day I wait for the GSII is a day closer that something better will come out.
At this point I want to wait for the Nexus 3(Prime). I like the rumored specs, ice cream, and the fact that it will be a developer phone.

Do u Think Sprint Will Get The Galaxy Nexus? And When?

This was spoken about on another thread, they're saying never, since Nexus is prized for its LTE capabilities, and Sprint is deploying LTE for the first Quarter of 2012. After speaking with Sprint Reps a week ago, they also told me LTE is underway on their new towers, but that it won't be an impressive coverage until the next 5 years.

The thing is i want an awesome phone with updates. Considering i will be signing a 2 year contract and be stuck with the phone for 2 years. I love my epic and can keep it til august i just really want a nexus phone and nexus s is not enough. Maybe if it doesn't come out then next year the The new nexus with Jelly Bean will goto sprint when lte phones should be out already for sprint .

I've been told by an extremely reliable source that Sprint's network re-tool (including LTE) will be completed by late 2013. They are on an extremely aggressive timeline to roll it all out. They can't afford a long, drawn-out one, even if it's cheaper to do.

I half agree with this. I do think Sprint will get it, and I do think there will be 'better' options out there when it happens. However, I think I would rather have a slightly underpowered Nexus than a fully stocked Samsung/Motorola/HTC with the TW/Blur/Sense slapped on top of it.

Exactly plus get updates on time and regularly and have all the nice roms and new version of android for the whole 2 year agreement Then time for a new nexus

Google Wallet?
I think Sprint should get it at some point. Google is working with Sprint for Google Wallet and the only phone that does it is the Nexus S 4G. So why wouldn't they bring the next Nexus to Sprint too? Verizon, ATT, and TMo are competing with Google for NFC payments. I figure that since the Epic Touch 4G didn't come with NFC means, they're leaving that for the Nexus phones on Sprint. Just a thought.

I thought 4.5" screen was huge on G2; GN has a 4.7".
We'll need laptop style carrying bags for our "phones" soon.

Yes but the gn has the capacitive buttons on the screen that takes up some room so they are just about the same screen size.

I have no confidence in Sprint delivering anything according to a timetable. If this phone is really dependent on a network that Sprint doesn't even have yet, I'm guessing we either won't see this device at all, or, as others have said in this thread, we'll see at a point where it's lost all its cachet.

I seem to recall the Galaxy S2 listing Verizon and that didn't end up meaning anything so who knows

Well, to me it only makes sense that they include Sprint. I mean, the Nexus S eventually came to sprint, did it not? I don't see why Google would exclude a carrier they once worked with, especially if they want more sales.
I hope that link is true Zanderman. I'm pretty sure it is, but there's always that little bit of doubt.

Should I get an Epic 4g Touch?

My wife and I both have Epics. Her phone had a few bad drops and is about to die. Since my upgrade is coming on Dec 1, I'm planning to get a new phone and have her take my Epic.
But what phone should I get? There's unfortunately no better phone with a physical keyboard, so I'm out of luck there. I don't have a good sense for when the Galaxy Nexus is coming to Sprint so I don't want to end up waiting 6 months for it.
Should I just get the Epic Touch?
Thanks for the advice!

I don't think you can go wrong with the torch. But on Jan 10th they will be announcing some stuff... I am Sure a phone and there lte. I would wait until then.

Hard call. My dad and friend have them and they're insanely good, but all the points given before are true as well. Depends on when the phone actually dies, I guess.

Sprint takes forever to actually release the phones they announce. So you'll have at least 4 months from now before anything extraordinary hits the market, probably longer. If that phone has really run it's course, then yeah, just pick up the Touch.

Ridiculous claim ^^^^
Wait out for the announcement at least so you know what to expect. You can always just turn around and get it still, for cheaper maybe. My friend just got the tmobile varient and WOW it felt great to hold I love me big phones. Lol

Like others have said, you should wait. Sprint will be announcing something soon and we who knows, we might get a WiMAX Galaxy Nexus.

i hope they dont ruin a galaxy nexus with jank ass wimax.

I love the touch but the only issue I see is that it has a big problem with LOS (loss of service). I've rooted and flashed several roms on it and nothing seems to help. Besides that it is super smooth and has a screen like no other
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

As a temporary fix, you can find Evo3D's and Nexus S's pretty cheap used these days. Then if you want to hold on to your upgrade until spring 2012 you will have something to play with in the mean time.

Thanks. I think I will get the touch on dec 1. Wish there were good deals for upgraders. I'm going to have best buy price match Amazon's 149 price.

Personally, unless the Galaxy S III is amazing, I will probably go with the Evo LTE. My upgrade is in Jan 13, so there may be cooler phones between now and then, but so far, I am leaning towards Evo LTE unless the nexus 4 is on sprint by then or the galaxy s iii is considerably better.

Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk 2

I will probably jump to the AT&T note rather than waiting for sprint note. Part of it is that I want to be able to grab a pre-paid SIM when going to europe, which the Sprint version won't be able to do unless Sprint does something drastic. Part of it is that my company has a contract with AT&T for a 20% discount on plans, etc.

I'm in the exact same boat, the only thing that drew me to sprint is the unlimited data, however now that I work 50+ hours a week I think 2 gigs might be fine for me. (I normally burn through 8 lol)
Sent from my Nexus Slide 4G

I'm not sure.
I won't be on Sprint when my contract is up. They are ripping me the **** off.
So it depends on whether I go T-Mobile or Verizon.

I just got my Galaxy Nexus today! It's so beautiful and it couldn't have come at a better time since my Epic jumped (not literally) off my stove to the saltillo tile floor. I had just ordered this phone a couple hours before "The incident". I'm sure going to miss this community.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I think I'm getting ready to jump ship permanently from Sprint. I haven't had many problems with them, but their network is very inconsistent. I have unlimited data on AT&T and ordered the GSM Galaxy Nexus from the Play Store today for $399. That's hard to beat in my opinion. I might keep Sprint to see what happens with LTE, but only time will tell.

There's no sense for me to even consider which phone I'll upgrade to until I know when the LTE network is coming to my city. I'll also be evaluating how my performance on the network improves (if it all) due to Network Vision. If I didn't have such an unbelievable deal with Sprint I might have moved on long ago, but I hate the pay-through-the-nose, limited data plans on the other carriers.
An ideal scenario would be that in the fall, with LTE on here, and my contract up for renewal, the Sprint version of the GSIII comes out like the Epic, as the clear spec leader with all the trimmings including physical keyboard and a totally solid build quality. And no plan rate increases.

Hands down, a Note - there is no comparison of that device to any other. I've always appreciated convergence of technologies, and there is no better example today than a Note.
Sprint offers a lot which other carriers don't, but after a while you certainly miss what you really want, and that is a solid network, which Sprint isn't. The day the Note arrives on Verizon (hopefully as a world phone), I'm grabbing it regardless of the number of months left on my contract with Sprint.
