Phone looks sick.. Does this phone have the CMOS camera sensor as well? How is indoor phone shots? My EVO's camera sucks donkey bawlz (3D not much better). If this camera is much better, i am sold.

Amazing that all I care about is the camera. Stupid HTC and their crap cameras.

[EVO 4G General] WhiteWidows:
My decision rest on the materials used to to make this phone and the development of AOSP roms's. I am a Evo and Epic owner and I hardly use my EPIC due to the lack of an AOSP rom. The reason why there is not a CM7 or MIUI rom fully functioning for the EPIC is because Samsung basterdized the EPIC. The hardware was completely different from the rest of the Galaxy S line. I want to see what developers can so with the Sprint GSII and if there is limitations because its the only CDMA version. Once I see that the dev's confirm that the hardware is similar to the rest of the SGII line and progress is being made on a AOSP ROM'S I will make the jump, but until then Im not making the same mistake I did with the EPIC
[EVO 4G General] SpaceMonky:
name one sprint phone that isn't qHD.

phones aren't made of plastic?

is this where i ask, u mad bro? you fall for that 3d gimmick?
[EVO 4G General] ckoadiyn:
Lol no not mad just was hoping for qhd also while they are plastic most of them Samsung's plastic feels weird and their phones seem super light and I don't like that
[EVO 4G General] cbrewington75:
Does anyone know about battery life?
[EVO 4G General] Jfree3000:
No offense but they just launched that phone, how would they know about battery life in a real world setting?

Besides all that, I am up for an upgrade soon and hopefully this phone gets a lot of developers behind it.
[EVO 4G General] m4rk0358:
Sounds like the Sprint version will not have NFC while AT&T's will. I hate US carriers.
[EVO 4G General] Ms.Dummbunny:
Heres my 10 cents (inflation : )

Hey y'all,

Read entire thread.... coupla things : )

1. i dint see any mention of NFC on EITHER this or AT&T's phone so pretty sure that got scrapped

2. You CAN get an idea of battery life due to it being in the SGS II family

3. I had the SGS Vibrant for a year and the support AND development on that phone was amazing AND plentiful

4. For those of you NOT USED to having devices WITHOUT a notification light, the GOOD NEWS is this Sprint version is the ONLY variant of SGS family that HAS one. I had the Vibrant, now the Infuse, and trust me, it s*cks without one, so this is a BIG PLUS. NoLed Ap is a great ap, but nothing beats a stock flashing light for missed calls/ charging like on My EVO

5. What is AOSP?

6. My Infuse is 4.52 just like this will be. My Evo may be shorter, but is almost TWICE as thick, so it actually feels BIGGER (and way heavier) than Infuse (which is exactly same dimensions as Epic ii) fits in hand and is nowhere near as "bulky"...

7. AT&T's version is without a keyboard as well, but a 4.3 vs 4.5 inch screen, keyboard version to be released at a later date (they say)

8. i hear you on the "thin, plastic-y cheap feeling of the Sammy Phones, but just like on My Vibrant, (it ALSO was cheap feeling, too lightweight, and plastic-y) i got a really nice case for it that added a little heft to it, hid the plastic-y look and all that you saw was that beautiful screen. And this PLUS is even better than my Vibrant was, my Infuse is soooo beautiful and outdoors u feel like ur looking at it INSIDE!

9. For internal Memory, its my understanding that while there is 16GB Onboard, there is 1GB specifically set aside for Ap Storage, as where the EVO only had 512MB... Could be wrong on this but thats how i interpreted it. You can't use the whole internal memory for what you want, it comes allocated.

As u can tell i am prolly looking more forward to this phone than anyone. My Infuse is awesome upgrade from My Evo & Vibrant, but the Epic Touch II as far as i'm concerned is "over the moon" : )

Samsung Galaxy S II logs confirm NFC support for AT&T, none for Sprint
[EVO 4G General] SpaceMonky:
NFC does nothing for me. just means when i lose my phone i also lost my wallet. screw that.

i prefer them separate.
[EVO 4G General] LoveisPeace2012:
same here, I have nfc with nexus s and have never used it.
[EVO 4G General] dynamicpda:
sweet phone but...

I've had the evo almost nine months now and the phone is feeling old given the demands I put on it. I run a lot of apps and even after V6 and running various kernels and a custom rom, it still can often be laggy.

Epic coming really soon, and the phone sounds great, but is the Motorola Bullet with quad core cpu coming not long after?
[EVO 4G General] SpaceMonky:
as far as i know the bullet won't be until sometime in Q1 of 2012 and is most likely a verizon exclusive. i personally don't have the patience to find out. i really wanted the nexus prime but i hear that's probably going to be a verizon phone also.

so heck, i'm up for an upgrade and this phone looks good to me.

doesn't motorola lock their bootloaders anyway?
[EVO 4G General] elwood:
just an fyi, Sprint did away with Mail in Rebates.. Everything is Instant now, so if there is a rebate on the phone it is instant, not 4+months. I feel ya on the main in rebates though, they sure did take forever
[EVO 4G General] cbrewington75:
Well it's been out over seas for awhile for starters
[EVO 4G General] lithid-cm:
We are still a few years off from this being a real impact.
[EVO 4G General] shochu808:
Several of my co-workers and I backed off the 3devo upon growing rumors Sprint would be getting the SGS II. It destroyed previous sales records in it's first two months in Europe.

When news came out that the US versions were delayed and we weren't getting the same phone, we started to worry a little.

Huge sigh of relief upon hearing Sprint's model appears just as sic, if not better than the European version. Even bigger sigh of relief when news dropped the "slide out qwerty" model would be t-mobile's burden to endure by themselves.
[EVO 4G General] lithid-cm:
I agree with you 100% looking forward to Sept 16th
[EVO 4G General] mike.r.olson:
No NFC? No big deal. WiFi calling?!?!? Sold!
[EVO 4G General] ayedlin:
I am really stoked for this phone. Luckily as a Sprint employee I am going to get it FO' FREE. You can bet it will be rooted and running CM7 as soon as possible. Who cares about NFC?
[EVO 4G General] wingzfan:
I absolutely HATE Samsung phones after having the moment but I think Im gonna give them one more shot on the Epic Touch. Mainly because this beast is sporting an 1800mah battery and the processor has gotten some really good reviews. I was going to go with the Nexus S but hated it didnt have an sd expansion slot. Seeing this has 16g onboard storage and an expansion slot up to 32g Im sold. The bluetooth 3.0 is a huge bonus as well.

My only concern is how ridiculously slow Samsung phones are on getting updates. They were WAAAAAY behind on getting Gingerbread.
[EVO 4G General] dezel29:
has anyone heard anything on the radios on this samsung ? I had the nexus s for a short time but got rid of it cause the reception issues. Just curious if they have improved for this phone.
[EVO 4G General] SpaceMonky:
from what i hear the ET4G will be using the same radio chip that the nexus s had problems with, but i have read it is tons better now after a firmware update. so i am hoping they learned their lesson and there will be no problems with this one.
[EVO 4G General] shochu808:
This phone needs to find a forum it can call home sooner rather than later. Its giving birth to newborn trolls at an alarming rate. Can we please get our own bridge to hide under.
[EVO 4G General] shochu808:
I'm a little surprised this phone doesn't have a dedicated forum.

Similar threads popping up in many forums. Gloves came off days ago in the 3d section, and it appears the Trolls have taken the lead.

Gotta admit, I'm starting to feel a little guilty since my Evo has been so faithful. It just keeps on giving while I take take take ...

It has stood by my side even thru abuse as I run up temps during marathon sessions, hot-spot it at work for the snooty Apple fan boys and girls.

I made up my mind and will not sell out my evo for a credit upgrade. This will be my backup phone for life.. :)
[EVO 4G General] asqwrd:
I want to get it but im not sure about the development community behind it. Since the epic didnt have much. Has any devs shown interest in the sprint version? I would really miss miui if there is no devs for this phone might have to go back to my faithful evo and wait for the next nexus if that happens.

[EVO 4G General] Ms.Dummbunny:
With you 100% On What A GREAT Phone EVO is....

As far as i'm concerned, she's the original Hercules...lol I put that phone thru paces like no one could. Till one day about a month ago i made the mistake of plugging a NON OEM charger into it (even tho i had done so HUNDREDS of times, i had never put this particuar one in (which had an adapter to a mini USB on it) and fried it. It instantly SHUT DOWN, and at first i couldn't get it to reboot no matter what i tried. When it DID come up, it said charging even when unplugged, and plugging it in doesn't charge it....

AT FIRST i was in disbelief, it had been able to withistand a million experiments and seen me thru everything. I googled and googled, unrooted, re-rooted, changed ROMS, did a Nandroid, changed kernal, factory reset, updated PRI version, u name it, i tried it. Unfortunately nothing has worked, and now Battery life is approx 2 hrs from a full charged battery using external charger (i have 4 thanx to Ebay : )

I take 100% of the blame, and still hail the HTC EVO as the "gamechanger" in the Android World. Nexus S pretty nice phone, but to me, Evo's form factor of 4.3 inch screen has set the bar for every other mfg to follow : )

She is definitely a warrior, thats for sure....

[EVO 4G General] lojak29:
epic touch, just like the samsung infuse

this phone is basically like atat infuse 4g almost identical in size and design and the infuse is a very nice phone, l.e.d display which was noticeable more brighter in colors than any other amoled display phone.
[EVO 4G General] jessejames111981:
for the Evo you have your choice of Cm7, MIUI, or Synergy/MikG. Every other rom is basically just like one of those 3. Look how many sense 2.1+3.0 are out there! Virtually no difference.

People talk about the customization of android. We have a long way to go. Look at MIUI. I personally can't stand using it but one thing I give it is its different even thou its iOS influenced.
[EVO 4G General] taadow1030:
That's deep. I honestly never thought about it, but you are exactly right. Even as regards ice cream sandwich, Cyanogen will incorporate it way before anyone else. Thing is though, I'm rather fond of Sense 3.0 and would miss it on the SG2.
[EVO 4G General] Ms.Dummbunny:
what phone do you currently have? I sold my EVO 4G to Sprint store yesterday and they put $125.00 credit on the acct.... Plus gave me an 80.00 credit (one month of free service) for loads of issues i had with my 3G signal on EVO. Total cost of NEW SGS Epic for me will be approx 300.00 but the extra 100.00 it will cost me to not do the "add new line/cancel old one" is worth it to preserve my existing #....Plus they offered me free financed installment arrangements of 12 payments so it'll be just an extra $30.00 monthly for 12 mos for the new SGS... Not bad compared to the $549.00 i AT FIRST thought i'd be looking at to have this phone....
[EVO 4G General] churro7:
I will be waiting for a month to see what type of kinks there are

I will be getting it though

Hopefully by that time Amazon or something will lower to 150
[EVO 4G General] lithid-cm:
Manufacture Warranty? If there is an issue with the phone then something must have gone terribly wrong. Evo had issues, it was also the first of its kind. They also fixed these issue for free. The SGSII has been out over seas for sometime now. I'm pretty sure any major kinks are going to be worked out. This of course is how I look at it. I won't be waiting around.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Meh, I agree with churro7.

There's only been one phone I bought at release [the palm pre] and that was DOA.

Definitely learned a lesson there. Didn't buy an Evo until a few months after release and my issues have been limited.
[EVO 4G General] stangdriverdoug:
I think this phone will be a safe bet at launch. It's the number one phone in the world right now.
[EVO 4G General] churro7:
Check yoself before u wreck urself

Its been out for a while yes but in GSM condition we will be the first to.get it in cdma
[EVO 4G General] lopies:
Thanks for the heads up. Nice find.
[EVO 4G General] lithid-cm:
Again your talking about another first. The easiest part is the network since the original SGSII was gsm overseas. The most difficult part is getting the core software and hardware correct. Which has already been taken care of. I don't really care if people want to waste their time for no good reason. I just want that reason to be anything else other then being afraid of poor performance or issues just because a few people have cell phone anxiety.
[EVO 4G General] lithid-cm:
Your story is quite enchanting lad.
[EVO 4G General] AbsolutZeroGI:
From what I see we have:

aosp (completely stock) 2.3 (e.g. roms with NO add ons)

CM (stock) 2.3 (e.g. aosp roms with proprietary add ons)

MIUI (iOS rip off but still cool) 2.3 (e.g. MIUI)

Sense 1.0

Sense 2.1

Sense 2.1/3.0

Sense 3.0

and coming soon

Sense 3.5

along with

freedom kernel (4 types)

golden monkey kernel (2 types)

tiamat (aosp only) (many types)

chopsuey (i think more than 1 type)

and a few i'm missing

So 8 different base Roms (with countless kangs, themes and remakes) with at least 4 or 5 different kernels = one of the most ridiculous development sections I've ever seen. Go to the MyTouch 3g Slide and look at their development section. Don't take what we've had here for granted, I have flashed something different every week for 9 months and there's STILL roms I haven't flashed yet.

Recognize! OG FTW!!!!
[EVO 4G General] jesusprice:
I think this maybe my next phone.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
It's not "cell phone anxiety", its recognizing that buying on release day can be risky.

Even the Evo had some problems.

Its just a cell phone, it's not like I can't afford to wait a few months.

AOSP will take a little bit anyway.

Plus, Nexus prime could be coming and that might be something worth switching to instead.

Relax, guy. :)
[EVO 4G General] lithid-cm:
For sure, I would much rather have the prime but only carrier I hear of is Verizon.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
We don't even know exact specifications.

I don't trust rumors as far as I can throw em.

It's unlikely that Google would limit their phone to one carrier.

They just got done making the S available to all carriers.
[EVO 4G General] lithid-cm:
Correct, maybe they will do that a little faster this time around then.

Is it true that sprint's version have a better processor or the names for samsung's processor is interchangeable and means the same thing
[EVO 4G General] ayedlin:
I think its the same one. Though the Sprint one will be better because its on Sprint.
[EVO 4G General] CDKJudoka:
That is the DROID Prime (SCH-i515) not the Nexus Replacement (GT-I9250). Being it has the DROID name attached to it, I highly doubt it is the "pure" Google experience that Nexus is know for.

BGR has sketchy sources IMHO.
[EVO 4G General] krazyflipj:
I see you can even add a new line to an existing account (Which I want to do) Will they add the line as soon as i pre-order or will they add it once i get the phone?
[EVO 4G General] jaquaslife:
Really how do you throw a rumor? Do you mean the rumor touch? because I can throw one of those pretty darn far
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:

I would love this phone,

but the samsung radio/modem bug of not being able to roam on the PCS band makes me reconsider. I might wait and see if they fixed that in this phone.

That still exists?
[EVO 4G General] Khilbron:

Pocket posted....
[EVO 4G General] mentaldelusions:
I can find no evidence that it ever went away, its still an issue on the normal Epic so I'm assuming it will be to on this phone.
[EVO 4G General] superstudinor:
I'm gonna wait to see what HTC rolls out on the 20th!!!!
[EVO 4G General] ayedlin:
I havent seen anything about the 20th, but I know they are coming out with a phone that will kind of like the 3D, but without the 3D and a four inch screen. My manager messed with it and he said it was pretty damn cool. HTC wants to name it the Hero 4G but Sprint wants it to be an EVO something something. Yay marketing.
[EVO 4G General] SpaceMonky:
Maybe it's the EVO+ model? I've heard the name tossed around a few times before with some upgraded specs.
[EVO 4G General] method2madness:
I'd hit it.
[EVO 4G General] jsufx:
My wife has the Epic and to be honest it has hardly any devlopement. Battery life is horrible. Samsung hopefully can get it together with this one.
[EVO 4G General] jfenton57:
My wife's EPIC roams just fine???
[EVO 4G General] mentaldelusions:
Sure on the cellular band, the bug prevents it from roaming on the PCS band. This would become a problem if your in an area where you need to roam and there isn't a signal being broadcast on the cellular band, but instead the PCS band.
[EVO 4G General] meeklo062704:

lol new much??

16/32gb is not a definitive amount

Also how much is set aside for apps for example the evo has 512mb with some 300 something for apps

Phonton as 2.78gb for apps 16gb total

Clearer?
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:

[EVO 4G General] stkiswr:
Do yourself a favor, Odin dk28, accept the ota to ec05 and leave it stock. Our epics battery life doubled compared to gbread leaks. No task killer. Just using it. Completely stock now with no root runs amazingly well.

I'm trying to talk my wife into the epic touch. For her, the screen, samsungs camera is very nice. So, I would definitely look into the epic touch, even though the epic 4g has let us down development wise, the phone now unrooted and completely clean flash is working excellently for her.
[EVO 4G General] CDKJudoka:
My wife has the epic as well and she gets two days out of the battery. Makes me a little jealous. She's running a stock rooted eh06 ROM with v6 Supercharger. She spends a lot of time playing plants vs zombies.

I've been with Sprint for less than two years. Are there any additional charges if I get this phone from letstalk? Will I be locked in for another two years again?
[EVO 4G General] biassj:
I'm sure your renewing your contract but in my case, I'm canceling my individual plan and selling off my Evo. I'm paying the early termination and rejoining to a family plan to save me money long run.

Not sure how it's going to work for existing contracts. I don't think you get the 100 deal with it.

My bro said no additional charges besides the first 36 dollar activation fee. Also, we didn't see this befor the order but I see a additional $25 off if you suggest friends.
