It looks like no NFC for the Sprint version and using the same 4G radio as the Nexus S 4G. I offered to get this phone for my wife.. she looked at it and said Samsung? no thanks.. she was not very happy with her Epic 4G i guess..

She'd probably like the Nexus Prime then, if she cares about software updates.
[Epic 4G General] InfDaMarvel:
I hope Samsung releases a phone with high-end specs like this but without the huge 4.5inch screen.

Id actually rather have a phone with a 3.8-4inch screen and keyboard. Yet it should be slimmer than the Epic 4g.

[Epic 4G General] puff601:
I usually prefer a keyboard, but i was hoping sprint lost the keyboard... i mean, yea, onscreen keyboard sucked back in the windows mobile 6.1 days but onscreen keyboards have came a long way since then...
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
I'm going to pass on this. If anything I will trade for a nexus out of contract (craigslist or friend who wants a sprint keyboard phone), but I'm saving my upgrade for Sprint's first TRUE 4G phone with LTE.

My touchpad will occupy my time in between.

Isn't Sprint's LTE not supposed to show up until 2015? That's a long wait.
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
I certainly hope not. I was figuring sometime next year.
[Epic 4G General] R3537L1F3:
I think I read the will start putting up towers for LTE next year but it would take from 2012-2015 for LTE to be fully phased in and WiMax phase out. But I dunno, can't remember where I read it. I'll look it up.

Once Network Vision is through Sprint will have THE best network in the country. I really don't think Sprint will get rid of WIMAX anytime soon though, they have put too much money into it to just let it fall by the wayside. I see them having phones capable of both and using either/or when available. Who knows though, I'm no expert.
[Epic 4G General] azmuzyk:
It will be the biggest and fastest network....if you do some heavy research you'll see that the bottom line is sprint owns more airspace than any carrier...which is why they can offer unlimited data and never gonna throttle data speeds like every other carrier, the more people that get on lte with other carriers will notice that their network will start to bog down, making them throttle data. When sprint does finally get their damn network going its gonna be awesome
[Epic 4G General] ayedlin:
I get the feeling that Sprint will throttle data before the year is over. With phones being so much more expensive now subsidy costs have gone through the roof. All the iPhone talk, with even bigger costs associated with that, plus our ETF is going up on the ninth, as well as a 36 dollar upgrade fee, it may just end up being capped or throttled. I really hope that Network Vision eliminates the need for that though, because my customers and myself love it unlimited, so heres hoping.
[Epic 4G General] tony45x220:
If the ROM's already developed for the international version will work with our version of the SGS2 then I'm on it ASAP

That's maybe a long shot question because I know our version is larger with different capacitive buttons...but worse case scenario it would only need light modifications to be ported right?

I'm sorry keyboard or not...I need more RAM because I love playing graphics and process intensive games like Galaxy on fire and Dungeon defenders...nither of which I can get to work consistantly on my current epic even overclocked to 1.3Ghz and using Chainfire 3D pro...smh, I think imma take my upgrade that I've been saving and jump ship to that sexy Xynos (not sure about spelling) dual core which I know is going to be overclocked to at least 1.6Ghz...yea

This will be my first Android and first Smartphone in general. I've been keeping my ear to the ground on Android for the past year or so, so I think I'm pretty up on things in the community. But if anyone has some general tips on what to expect from Sprint/Sammy on official ROM update and that like, I'd appreciate it.
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
Oh man, just talked my way in to the option to get the early upgrade effective midnight on the 16th. I would be able to keep my Epic, get the SGS2 and still save $40 a month on my bill by getting rid of my crap USB internet card. Do I get the Epic Touch or wait?

[Epic 4G General] worldwidepmp:
I don't know...If that sucker is availiable by Dec. and has the same screen size as SGSII I'm jumping on it!
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
The guy I spoke to at Sprint (who has the Epic) said that the I-Phone 4 and 5 will be coming first and, while they know the Prime is coming, there isn't even a rumor about a release date yet. I am really leaning toward getting it but after that I can't upgrade my other line until June 2012. I am going to have to do a little research about the Prime but right now I plan on going for the SGS2. Its not like I have to get rid of my Epic but I don't want to have phone envy a few months later. This is the first time I have thought about a new phone since getting my Epic. Decisions, decisions...
[Epic 4G General] ayedlin:
Who did you talk to at Sprint? Every internal document I have read gives no credence to Sprint getting the iPhone in October. Will we get it? Probably, I would think the WSJ is fairly credible source, but unless that guy is a higher up official, he probably has no idea what he is talking about.
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
It wasn't anyone special. He just said that's what he was told. When I asked about specific release dates, he couldn't back it up with anything firm.
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
Ok, if I get this phone on the 16th, is Radio Shack the best Walk-In store deal right that anyone has come across? $150 with a contract extension right?
[Epic 4G General] TexasLTE:
as much as I like my EPIC and as much as I like the physical keyboard , that Prime looks really nice ;)

FYI = when I spoke to Sprint last night the Rep said he was not allowed to speak about the iPhone5 , but had been reading everything on-line as well and said they "might" be getting it next month , he just wasn't allowed to comment on it ... LOL
[Epic 4G General] ayedlin:
At least five people ask me everytime they come to my store. Unfortunatly the information we have is the same you have. We find out about most stuff right before it comes out.

I have one quick question. At sprint my Epic's trade-in value is $78, $50 at radioshack, and $118 at best buy (for the gift card). Where's the best place to get the most for my trade-in so I won't need to pay so much for the Epic Touch? (Just found out my january update is $75 v.v)

800x480 on 4.52 inch display is a no go... :). Nexus 3/Prime should worth the wait.
[Vibrant General] Goten310:
Agreed, too big of a screen for that resolution imho. Waiting for the Prime... but I heard that is coming to Verizon :( So I will have to wait the the Nexus 3 if that is the case.
[Vibrant General] vetvito:
I thought it has a 4.3 screen and the Sprint version has a 4.5 screen?

Either way, I want it.
[Vibrant General] coolairG1:
I'm not worry about the screen resolution. Super AMOLED Plus technology can increase subpixels up to 50% to display sharper images, richer videos, and crisper text. I read many reviews and such as Cnet, they prefer Super AMOLED Plus screen. Larger screen size is better to my eyes. I still would go with T-mobile SGS II. Just my opinion. Great news anyway.
[Vibrant General] Rayn1328:
Why is it sprint has a date and tmo lags behind again. Vibrant has been and still is a great phone .....but I'm now getting bored!
[Vibrant General] gun:

[Vibrant General] Tpavey:
Also, because of T-mobile's desire to support 42mbps they will likely be using a Qualcomm processor. This is sort of annoying considering Gingerbread (and likely ICS) will be developed for Samsung chips first. With the purchase of Motorolla there may be more equal support than we saw with Froyo, but still, I'd prefer the Samsung chip.

becuase the screen is muc bigger but resolution is still the same as the vibrant 800x480.... and a screen is .5 bigger! thats a big difference.... that sucks how a small tiny iphone has a really sharp resolution... you would think samsung would at least try to compete a lil bit or improve on resolution since 800x 480 is pretty old already

it better not be snapdragon. because if so im disappointed. in reality i can use my vibrant on 3g/4g what ever you want to call it and switch to wifi with 30mb dowload. my web browsing is not faster on wifi its limited by the speed of memory and processor.

so if we got snapdragon. so we can get faster 3g/4g speed of 42mb then this is a terrible trade off. lose snappyness for everything and lose battery because less efficent processor smh if that the case ill buy something else

[Vibrant General] N8ter:
WVGA Resolution IMO maxes out at 4" screens. Even on a 4.3" screen it's not enough for me. Don't care about the hype about Super Amoled. That's simply a crap resolution for such a large screen. Even if it is 4.3"... most of the market is moving to qHD and I'll gladly take a qHD AMOLED over a WVGA S-AMOLED at 4.3+".

Also, S-AMOLED burns in way too easily.
[Vibrant General] movieaddict:
betcha money it will be qualcom
[Vibrant General] bdroc:
the hercules was always rumored to have a snapdragon since the initial rumors so i dont know why everyone is disappointed

http://thisismynext.com/2011/05/17/exclusive-samsung-hercules-t-mobile-dual-core-infuse-4g/

i agree though that it has the ugliest design...the sprint one is the best...barely has a chin

other than GPS, the vibrant is MORE than powerful enough to last me until a kal-el (or equivalent) with SAMOLED HD ice cream sandwich 10"+tablet/4.6" phone hybrid is out (i can dream)

with these new techs, we are on the verge of a pretty large boost in power and performance as opposed to the fall '10->fall '11 year, which according to nvidia was a 2X year...next year will be a 5X year

[Vibrant General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
This is over the previous gen Super AMOLED screens that used RGBG sub pixels. Super AMOLED Plus brought RGB sub pixels. Something color LCD's & even CRT's have always used. An old TV, you could look really closely at the screen & actually see the RGB sub pixels.

As for screen size/resolution, 480 x 800 still looks nice on a 4.3" screen. Icons still look sharp. Yeah, higher resolutions are nicer, but they also hurt performance dramatically.
[Vibrant General] Wilsonium:
Now I know I'm passing...

I just picked up an SGS 4g and was very disappointed that it's being nerved for the US market. Aside from technical network reasons, why does the US market go to such lengths to add bloatware, deactivate or not include hardware features or try to keep you in their walled garden? (rhetorical question I know... so I'll leave the flame retardant suit in the closet for now).

IMHO, it's just sad the INTL version of these devices are always cooler and when I'm abroad, the US versions just makes me think the US is a 3rd world country.

I'm confused to no end...

I got a message from t-mobile, saying that my flexpay with 500 minutes and 5GB data plan, for which I pay $60 in total, will expire (actual message below). I have an unlocked Nexus One (and a single line) that I don't want to change; I use like 80-100 minutes, 2-3 text messages, and about 5GB of data with it in a month...

Can someone help me?

I don't understand whether I can stay with Flexpay or whether it will actually expire for good (and take the $50 I have $50 my flexaccount too --they're used when you overuse minutes).

Customer reps on 611 refuse to send me any documentation, don't tell me whether my plan will actually get cancelled or not, and pretty much act like they don't know anything and are reading from a script written for existing flexpay customers. (I'll be going to a store, but I don't trust them either. Me being a foreigner doesn't help...)

I'm looking at the options they provide (their plans online), and if I keep my 5GB data plan, everything that they have is more expensive... As in: their $50 "postpaid" plan includes 100MB or so data before getting throttled...

Could anyone suggest what I should do to keep a plan that costs $60 or less without sacrificing my $50 on that stupid flexaccount[1]?

[1] The $50 is leftover from having a long-distance (as in cross-pacific) relationship... Don't do it ;)

[Message from t-mobile:

Response requested: your Flexpay rate plan will expire. Call 611 to update your account & get 1200 bonus minutes. Call 611 for details.]

Help? Please?

Thanks :)

Same problem - Cancellation of T-mobile Flexpay plan

Even I got a call few days ago and recently got a SMS stating that Flexpay plan will expire. Not sure if I can still continue? I dont want to be bound by 24 month contract. Either I might switch to pay as you go plan or switch to another provider.

Let me know if there any updates or work around here!!

Thanks!
[Networking] Babydollll:
AFAIK all flexpay plans WILL expire and you have some options....

1) Enter into a contract :eek: and go with the VALUE plans (cheaper monthly charges, NO SUBSIDIZED DEVICES)

2) Enter into a contract :eek: and get a regular postpaid plan (higher monthly charges, DEVICES AT SUBSIDIZED PRICES)

3) Pay as you go prepaid plans including a monthly option (I think...kinda like flex-pay)

http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/monthly-4g-plans
[Networking] synaesthetic:
I just got on a contract for a Value plan with two lines and it's quite possibly the most awesome thing ever.

I get:

1000 shared minutes

unlimited SMS

2GB of data per line

... for $95 + tax/fees/etc, per month. For two lines. :D

I had to buy the phones outright, sure, but the overall savings is significantly greater than had I gone on a "standard" contract with the device subsidy. Two lines on a standard contract, same 1000 shared minutes and SMS and data, would have cost $35 more per month (+ tax/fees/etc).

Before I was on an individual Even More Plus plan (which has been phased out, just like Flexpay) and paid $70 + tax every month, and my partner was on a Flexpay plan and paid $75 + tax every month. Of course, those plans had 5GB data, but we weren't actually using the 5GB--the 2GB option hadn't been created yet, and even when it was first formed, it wasn't any cheaper.

Now, seriously, we're getting cell service almost as cheap as a regional carrier with better devices and better service.

Hi guys, my HTC G2 used to work perfectly fine. Then I started experiencing freezing where I would have to remove the battery. Phone is unlocked, rooted with S-off. Then the klast time it froze, i removed the battery and now the phone will not go past the bootscreen. While I am on the clockwork recovery screen, anything I select goes to the clockwork logo and stays there until I remove the battery. It doesn't allow me to factory reset or load a new rom.

U can do a reset from hboot. Pull battery, hold down volume(down) and power until you get there. Then scroll to factory rest and this time hit the power button

[General Questions and Answers] HairyMonster:
Three months ago, I picked up an Atrix in an Orange store. There were no Work and Play kits in stock so one got ordered direct from Orange. It never arrived. After a few phone calls, and being passed back and forth between the store and Orange CS, both saying "nowt to do with us", it was discovered that a mistake had been made on the order form by the store, who re-ordered it. It still hasn't arrived.

Orange CS say speak to the store, the store say speak to Orange CS, and nobody will take ownership.

I believe that the store should be sorting this one out, as it was at the store I made the purchase.

I'm seething. I've spent many hours of my time, money calling the store, petrol driving to the store and car parking charges, and still I've been ripped off and cannot enjoy this phone to the potential advertised in the store's package. I want compensation.

Any (legal) advice appreciated. I'm considering several options at the moment: involving Trading Standards, telling my story of bad customer service on the store's Facebook page, small claims court.
[General Questions and Answers] Bierce22:
