What phone are you coming from? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

I've been using a Samsung Moment as my daily driver for the past 3.5 years since release in 2009 and figured it was time to upgrade. My S4 has not been bought yet but I plan on doing so this week when I have time.
What are you coming from?

HTC Touch Pro > HTC Touch Pro 2 > HTC Evo Wimax > Galaxy S4

HTC hero-GS1 epic -GS2 epic touch- and now the S4.
Waiting for Costco brick and mortar stores to get them in and I'll buy it then.

Too many to list. Last was an LG Optimus G, though. HTC One X before that.

I'm coming from my Samsung Epic 4G (original Galaxy S with a 5-row QWERTY slider). My phone's charger port is broken, and since I had this phone for 3 years, I figured that I deserve a long overdue upgrade.

Note 2 ...... sike lol

Is it me or is it time to hang up HTC Evo 4g for good? ??

Never. Lol

That is a bit of a personal decision. I have never been happier with my Evo as I am running MikG and it is better than any phone I have ever had (Touch Pro > Touch Pro 2 > Evo). I might be looking to upgrade in a while but I have not found the phone that is compelling enough to ditch the Evo yet. I prefer HTC over Samsung (personal again) and I don't want the 3D gimmick so I am going to have to wait a bit. It might be interesting to see an HTC Evo LTE in several months when Sprint announces they are moving in that direction.

Samsung Galaxy SIII my next phone! Thoughts?

I think this looks sweet.

Not sure... it will definitely be between that or the HTC OneX (Or EVO X or what ever the hell they end up calling it) unless something else wacky ends up coming out around the same time.

Question is, how long will it take for Sprint to get it.

i want them to get the razor maxx, cause im done with how my evos battery just vanishes, although i do love my evo!
I just read that the galaxy nexus is coming out April 15th. Oh....decisions!
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
That's a tough call. Galaxy Nexus is an amazing phone, and should be available sometime mid april, the 15th if the rumors are accurate. As a launch day Evo 4G owner, I think it's time for an upgrade. On the other hand, the S3 is an even more amazing phone. HTC One X is potentially an amazing phone, but the latest rumors are saying it's only going to have a dual core on Sprint, so not really worth waiting for me. I need to know more before I can make a decision. If no news has come out by the Nexus release, I may just go with that.
Man i'm drooling over the alleged specs of the S3, but just like the rest of you, i'm debating between the Nexus in April and the S3 whenever that happens (i think the latest rumor is middle/end of June?) I really REALLY want some new mobile hardware, but i think the Nexus is old news. I just gotta summon the will power to wait a few more months!
I'm going to wait for the S3 especially if it comes with a 1080 display.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
+1 on the S3 and maybe pick up the new HTC off contract to play around with.

Well I've really began to hate my HTC device running Sense UI and have just converted to AOSP. But I played with some huge Samsung my cousin has on Verizon and it was a beast. I don't know what it was because I didn't care to know( maybe the newest galaxy ), but it was a powerhouse and was honestly the smoothest phone I have ever used. So I'm leaning towards Sammy for a new device to be honest

What phone are you coming from?

As the title says, which device are you migrating from? What's making you take the switch? Other than the price of course
I've got an OG Galaxy Note and I'm considering getting one assuming I can get about the cost of the N4 for my Note when I part ways with it.

HTC evo 4g that I have for two years. My contract is up and I have always wanted a nexus phone as I am sick of waiting for updates and trying new ROMs that don't function 100%. I was originally planning on getting a gnex but with the price point of this phone I can't go wrong.

looking forward to a bit of a refresh. it is too bad that they didn't fit in a slightly larger battery, that would have made my day!
was tempted by the razr hd maxx but when it comes down to it, id get more annoyed at the lack of updates and dev support etc
Will be coming from an Evo 4g that I've had since June 2010. Switching from Sprint to T-Mobile and will try out using voip on their pre paid plans. So potentially will save $40-$50 per month while on a faster network.

I'll be coming from the Galaxy Nexus myself. Hopefully it's worth the jump. Can't afford to drop too much on the phone; so hopefully I'll be able to manage it when I sell the GNexus. In any regard, I think I'll jump back into development when I do.
HTC Sensation 4G. I'm rooted running paranoid android on 4.1.2 but the s3 dual core gets so hot and I want a pure Google phone. Benefits: s4 pro, wireless charging, NFC, beam, pure Google, 2gb of ram.
I only have 16gb SD card and i never run out of storage and I only remove battery during boot loop but holding down power button force shuts down so I don't consider those as down falls.

HTC Inspire. Fortunately running ICS
S3.
Jumping back on to the Nexus bandwagon and never, ever falling off again.
Had a Gnex but took it back because I didn't want to sign a stupidly long extension to my Canadian contract. Ended up with a free S2 this summer but now since Exynos sucks dev wise, I'm switching to N4.
Can't believe something actually worked out for me and now I can get this at a great off-contract price

What was your previous phone?

Hey all,
I'm just wondering what people had before the HTC ONE.
I'm thinking about getting this phone myself; I currently have the Galaxy Note 2 and really like a couple features of the new htc. I'd especially like to hear from anyone who is in the same position as me.

At least you can download and flash roms and kernels straight from your phone once you got custom recovery unlike Samsung which you need computer and odin
