Screen cracked yesterday. Nothing wrong with the phone besides glass being cracked.
I have insurance but not sure I want to drop $100 on another Epic. Can I bring it into Sprint and have them replace the screen for $35? If not, should I just wait for the S3 and keep the $100?
When does the S3 release?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

They won't replace it for $35. That is for warranty handling repairs with no TEP. If it is clearly a drop they will leave you only the insurance option. S3's won't be out at least til the summer...still rumored with nothiing nailed down. Only thing set is the Galaxy Nexus on the 22nd this month.

Stick it out for a couple more days... for the gnex release. Trust me the s3 won't be out anytime soon... if the earliest, late summer early fall... least for sprint.

Yeah but I mean usually they have an actually phone advertisement... and the lg viper was supposed to release today according to our "proof" and it hasn't... maybe this month but I doubt it be the 22nd unless both phones release that day.

This confirms the 22nd for the Viper. And the Nexus was touted as being the "first" lte Spint phone. Lets hope they stick with that and release a couple hours early!!

I checked the Spring website and they have the Evo 4G LTE preorder ad on the front page but no mention of the Galaxy Nexus. This worries me a little bit.
I want to hold out but don't want to wait months for the Nexus.

They had the advertisement not too long ago... I think they plan to release both the same day.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

Since they haven't built up the release for these devices my guess would be 21st or 28th. Sprint typically changes their device pricing on Sundays.

I just want the Gnote, hoping all three drop the same day

Nexus and Viper on the same day? Because I hope they're not releasing the Nexus at the same time as the Evo 4G LTE. Might as well wait for the S3 then.

Nexus 4 8GB for $450?

Would anyone in the right mind buy a Nexus 4 8gb right now for $450? I was a Sprint Note 2 fan and dumped it after I moved and couldn't get data. I found a guy willing to drop it off at my work still brand new wrapped.

The nexus 4 is an amazing phone but 8gb space for $450 is simply not worth it.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

no. you're paying ~$150 more after shipping & taxes as if you were to wait for one from the play store.

Screw it, just got my Nexus 4. Cutting my SIM card now LINK

I'm so frustrated over my Sprint Note 2 and using my Atrix 4G on Net10 is getting old. I'm selling the Note 2 for $500 tonight and never going to CDMA again. I will however continue dev work on my Sprint S3 so other users can unlock their CDMA phones to work on GSM.

I'm tired of couriers pushing us around and locking fully functional quadband radios and loading their crapware on. I'm frustrated by couriers/OEMs keeping firmware/driver source to themselves which makes custom roms difficult. I'm tired of locked bootloaders and invalidation of warranties due to rooting.
No more I say, no more!
I'll pay the extra $150 and be happy :laugh:

Cool story. Like I said you need DC-HSDPA to achieve speeds like that, and it isn't nearly as widespread as anyone's LTE.

Don't buy it. Wait for another offer with 16 GB. 8gb are just too less. You'd regret it.
Hang on for a good offer.
In Germany you get new ones on eBay 16gb for $ 400.
Perhaps an opportunity for you??

3 Network

Has anybody pre ordered with these? Also what do people think of 3 and the service they provide? I pre ordered a few weeks ago but havent heard a bean from them. Im a new customer to 3 after being with orange for a few years

I'm with 3. Have been for years! In terms of signal and data packages they're amazing. Not found anyone to come close yet. But customer services are terrible. And don't expect them to ever do you any favours like keeping you in the loop or even giving a bit of a deal tweak here and there. They are firmly aware that they're the only true all you can eat data supplier and thus don't bend for anyone!

Yeh. I've upgraded with them again though initially they told me I should have it this week even though it says 28th online. After speaking to them today it seems that was bull**** and I'll have it on the 28th....not even by the 28th any more....

^This.
Generally my signal with Three is pretty decent and even though I have much better speeds with GiffGaff, Three's unlimited internet sealed the deal with me.
GiffGaff claimed they offered the unlimited internet aswell but it really wasn't.
Luckily, I've never had a problem with Three though so I've never had to ring CS. That is meant to be There's only downside.

I could only assume this is carrier branded. I know my Note 3 purchased from WIND shows "Galaxy Note 3" as the logo in the bottom area of the cover. This is true for Telus branded models too as I confirmed with a friend who purchased directly from Telus. As for the reasoning behind this logo vs. "4G", I assume this logo has been chosen by some carriers who only support up to 4G data speeds (pre-LTE) but cannot confirm as WIND is a 4G data carrier (non-LTE) but has the nice back cover.
Where to get one... Well, there are many sources on eBay and other companies on the Internet which sell battery replacement covers or back covers for the Note 3. Just do a Google search and you'll find a load of these both with "4G" logos and "Galaxy Note 3" logos.
Hope this helps!

So there is a difference between Lte and 4g? First time I hear about it...
Our device supports both lte and 4g??

Seems there are quite a few different backcover s out there. Mine shows a silver SAMSUNG right under the camera lens. Nothing else. Unlocked phone running with a prepaid sim.

In Canada, you have 4G data and LTE data. In my circumstances, 4G is what WIND Mobile offers and it's significantly slower than LTE which is what the major carriers: Telus, Bell and Rogers offer. Your phone may be LTE capable such as my WIND device but LTE, unless offered by your current carrier will be crippled in the device. For an overview of the differences between 4G and LTE, check out the following link:

My device supports LTE as well but this feature has been crippled since WIND only supports a MAX data speed of 4G. I have rooted my device and have now enabled LTE so I can take advantage of the data speeds Telus has to offer.
As for your question though... The back battery cover is just that... a battery cover. I do not know the reason behind the different designs but should you wish to have a different look, all you need to do is purchase a new one which you feel is more appealing to the eyes.
Hope this helps!

Too confusing... I mean I got both an H+ and a 4G signal but no LTE yet. That means my device is not LTE capable??

Although someone said before that there are some models that write lte on the back, so what's the deference between the two models??

Well , I purchased two note 3 , one from UK ( MADE BY SAMSUNG ) and one From Middle East ( MADE IN VITENAM ) , both are N9005 Comes with Qualcomm 4g sanddragon 800 .
The one Purchased from Middle East comes with back Cover has 4G stamped , the one from UK didnt come with 4G stamped on the back cover .

I think depends on courier and country.
Mine label as 4G in Malaysia.
In my opinion, I prefer without any such label, no need 4G or LTE that two ugly label.
