Decisions, Decisions

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.

http://newsroom.sprint.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=2237
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!

^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.

Anyone bought one from Amazon recently and received one with the older firmware? I just bought one today and am really hoping it doesn't come with MF3 (I may just return it if it does)

The longer people wait after the MF3 update came out, to get a device - the more likely you are to get one with it on. Getting one this far out, odds are high that it's going to have MF3. And seemingly, to me, returning it in an attempt to get one without MF3, you're SOL and it'll be a waste of your time and money.
It sucks, having MF3, but we'll get past it!

MF3 shouldn't be a HUGE problem anymore thanks to the new SafeStrap recovery, which works on MF3.

Wound up swapping up to a 32GB, which came MDL. So I guess you increase your chances by buying a 32GB model, since they don't turn over as many of those. Probably holds true for any retailer.

Data hungry Note

Hi guys,
I've been monitoring my data usage on the note and came to the conclusion that this beast is hungry for data.
I've been an iPhone user before, I still do the same things on the note as I did on the iPhone (using Chrome instead of safari now tough) but my data usage is twice as it would be. I had a 1 gigabyte plan with my iPhone and always ended up holding 300 -/+ megabytes at the end of the month.
With my note I use that in 5 days?! I'm stuck to a 2 gigabyte plan, no unlimited unfortunately because of the pricing.
When I'm at home I use wifi only and turn of mobile data.
I added some screens to show you my usage. Is there anyway I can cut it down? Since when does Instagram eat that much? And isn't chrome supposed to be data friendly?

Is that the 'reduce data usage' check?

also avoid stock browser, CNET or Engadget done a piece a few months ago about how it uses more data than any other browser, might be worth disabling auto updates and restrciting your background data on apps too. I use around 2.17GB per month on mine currently.

Updates only go through on wifi. How do I restrict data?
2.17 gig is not bad.

Yeah, you have such big prices for data plans. In the USA too. Here in Slovenia I get 20GB for 20€. I'm a very heavy user and I do use it all.

In Holland I pay almost €23 for my 2 gigs. I do get 4G but not 50 megabytes/second. I have 30.
