That's about it....

I never use more than 2GB of data anyway and Verizon would be almost the same price WITH 4G LTE and a new phone... Plus Sprint's recent changes to how and when you can upgrade make it really not worth it to stay with them...and their 3G speeds SUCK

Contract is up in January. Will be getting an AT&T Straight Talk SIM and ditching them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jcossack88:
Sprint may not have the best network, or the fastest by any means, but it is the best at the price I want to pay. There was once a time when Sprint had the best innovative phones, back when the Instinct first appeared. Then once Android came out, it still seemed like Sprint had the best; the Epic 4G, and the EpTouch. Now, Sprint has been taking a back seat with the whole Galaxy Note and Nexus deal.

But I still enjoy Sprint. Its great to know I only pay $120 for 2 phones and unlimited data, when other people are paying around $150 for the same thing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] revamper:
Prepaid plans are much cheaper. $30 gets you 5GB on t mobile with unlimited texting and 100 minutes. T mobile is supposed to have a great 3g network unlike sprint.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] austin420:
100 minutes? i would be screwed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] theguz4l:
I keep it because its free from work :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigRitz:
At this point anybody who does not realize that Sprint is rapidly becoming a better company is crazy, look at our stocks tripled in less than 2 weeks and our 4g LTE being launched fasterr than any build out ever! This company will be #2 if not #1 within the next 2 years and Dan Hesse will go down in history with out a doubt as the best CEO a company has had!

Good things are here and only getting better,

Believe me I do not speak w/o good reliable info!!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] austin420:
my screen shot shows 5200 minutes per month on average, so that would only be about an extra 510 dollars per month.

My work pays for my phone ... thats really the only reason lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mideastbeast:
Hahaha, I don't know anyone in my family or any of my friends that could handle just 100 minutes per month. My sister uses her phone less than anyone I know and still manages to use 250-350 minutes a month. I would use 100 minutes up in 1 day. I use my phone for work and personal use so I use a total of about 3,500 to 5,000 minutes. I guess I would be screwed on that plan too :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jmejiaa:
Because I'm in contract and too expensive to move to a carrier with decent data speeds around me.

If it doesn't get better I will most likely leave the day I can switch without a fee
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Raistlin1:
I just saw a notice in my account that said I may have to provide proof of employment for my discount. Problem is I signed up via a friends and family deal way over five years ago. If I lose my discount Sprint go bye bye.

I don't come close to 2.5gb per month so I think I would be fine on capped data, but my useage can change in future so that would suck. Price is what is keeping me with Sprint right now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
As long as the person you signed up under is still an employee you'll still get your discount. Sprint will contact the employee or search employment records for verification. If you're trying to get a discount you're not entitled to you don't need to be on sprint anyways. The family and friends discount wasn't designed for you to retain your discount after the employee moved on or was terminated, and to complain about that or continue trying to get the discount amounts to fraud, and you deserve to be dropped or made to pay the regular price like anyone else. Its called an employee discount not a former employee discount for a reason, you're not entitled to the discount for life just cuz you or someone you know worked there for 2 weeks and became eligible for a discount.

We are legion, for we are many.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Raistlin1:
Wow, thanks for calling me a fraud. I signed up through a friends and family discount site many many years ago and I did not even have to enter a name. So now, maybe 7 or 8 years later, they are going to take that away? That is BS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] woody296:
It really doesn't sound like bs to me, if you meet the requirements you get a discount, if not, you don't. It's pretty simple.:confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
If you're trying to obtain or retain a discount you're not qualified to receive its by definition fraud. I wasn't directly calling you a fraud it was in general, but if u assumed I'm calling you a fraud maybe you have a guilty conscience cuz you know you're trying to retain a discount you no longer qualify for. Its simple really if you qualify you keep your discount, if you don't you lose it, if you want to keep something you don't qualify for well you would be keeping it by fraudulent means. I deal with fraud in my line of work on a daily basis, its not just sprint you'd affect its the customers and employees as well. The customers because their prices will go up to cover the cost of money lost to users getting discounts they don't deserve and the employees because they could lose their discounts because they are being abused by others. Not sure why its really all that hard to understand.

this thread is getting funny.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
I keep Sprint for the unlimited data and mobile to mobile minutes. I like that you can talk to any wireless carrier for free. Looking forward to a 4G LTE phone though. Wimax has poor coverage and is not near as fast. Qbking77 has some speed test that are insane for LTE!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] adam.kelly2:
Quick and reliable service in my area and I enjoy knowing that data is a non issue.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ghost Protocol:
Hello.

Having a 4G LTE mobile phone will not and do not matter under Sprint service. I currently have the Samsung Galaxy S III and rarely get 4G. Sprint really need to catch up with Verizon and AT&T. They are way - way - way behind. Also, it seems that many of us are with Sprint for the same reasons... Unlimited DATA plan. I, too, would leave Sprint if that ever changed in the future. With or without a contract.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
I had to leave simply because my streaming data programs like MLB at Bat, my Slingbox and WatchEspn were killing me. I still have some phones on Sprint but had to move my personal phone to a pre-paid plan where I get 18-21 mbps download speeds on a good day and 4-above on a regular. If Sprint keeps Unlimited data and their LTE speeds dont suffer I may come back.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
lol same set up here but with no disc.. always around 182$.. just got call from sprint giving warning about using 7gb roaming last cycle and already over 4gb this cycle.. they finally catching on n also already said i can get out etf free lol

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheAtheistOtaku:
ok people, so apparently t-mobile might bring back truly unlimited data as said here http://gizmodo.com/5936764/t+mobile-is-probably-bringing-back-real-unlimited-data-plans-again

If this turns out to be true. i may just suck it up, pay the etf and run to t-mobile

i was gunna make another thread in general about this, but it would be redundant.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gargox:
The price is right...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
Hahaha just saw that and was going to do that and thought the same as you. People check out the link and check out the prices. GSM phones are easier to resell and you get more for them as well. There are a lot of positives in this. I was not mad at Sprint they helped me out numerous times but for those of you living in the 14.4 modem days I would think twice :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] br0ken_shad0w:
So very tempting. Considering it takes months for Nexus devices to get on Sprint, it's definitely going to be a tough choice in fall. My ETF is still $200, so I can definitely eat the fee.

Still good news for Sprint owners as well. It means unlimited isn't going away any time soon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard220:
Same here the ETF would be about 150 bucks. But I cant use t-mobil because they dont have 4g coverage where I live. Why would i go from broke **** 3g to the same 3g speeds and no 4g to speak of. Verizon tho has all the speeds here but no unlimited. Maybe things will change for verizon now that t-mobil has come out with unlimited plan ( true unlimited ). Not worth it but if this works out for t-mobil it will absolutly kill sprint.

Sprint unlimited data, now that is a joke unlimited in what crap speeds. Sprint better get off their ass's now. I see a boat load of people jumping ship now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigRitz:
Deustche Telekom haas already gone on record stating that it is going to sell off T-mob network and spectrum since the US will not let the name be sold do to competition laws it will sell off the company in other ways until it is gone!

Sprint stock trippling and LTE rolling out faster than any prospectors believed was possible= WINWINWIN!!!

Again these are only my opinions no one else!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheAtheistOtaku:
same here, the ability to just take a sim out and slap it into another phone is just awesome, especially for people like me who like to try any android phone they can get their hands on, new or old. plus it seems they are cheaper then sprint. though my etf wont be as easy to swallow, seeing i joined sprint back in april -.-. sprints been good, but t-mobile looking mighty fine right now. i wonder how other carriers will react to this
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Raistlin1:
This is great news and may just get me to switch, I have five lines right now and two will be gone in September and then I will only have one line left on contract which is up in January. Buy unlocked Nexus from play store, or any unlocked android phone on CL, and get their value plan. I live in the NYC metro area so all of the carriers have great service here.

It would be nice if this gets AT&T and Verizon to either go unlimited or at least raise their limits.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] GiSS88:
Is it possible to remove the other languages this time around? On standard Swype, you could simply deselect the languages available in settings. Now, it simply has the option to switch between English and Spanish. I accidentally hit the key sometimes, but never use Spanish--so, any way to remove the option completely?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sirooga:
Would love a solution for this also.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mickey4mice:
+1 for this request. Accidentally hitting languages I never use is quite annoying.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gtg465x:
Hold down on the language button and uncheck Spanish. The language button will still be there, but when you hit it the keyboard won't switch to Spanish... nothing will happen.

Or you could install a different version of Swype.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] GiSS88:
This is how it used to be, but Unnamed 1.2.0 uses an updated version of Swype which does not have the uncheck ability--only selecting.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gtg465x:
? I just did what I suggested on 1.2. You can still unselect languages.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] GiSS88:
Not sure if you're using a different version of Swype on 1.2, but on mine I most certainly can't uncheck languages. Instead, it shows the green circle to the right, where you simply choose which language you want.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sirooga:
Worked for me.I didn't know about this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mickey4mice:

you aren't doing anything wrong. just using your phone.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skipjacks:
This is the answer.

It's a battery. By definition it holds a limited amount of power.

Until they invent a phone with a matter - anti matter reactor that can keep it powered on for thousands of years before needing a refueling, having to plug the phone in every night is just a reality. And that day is far off because the price of the Dilithium Crystals needed to harness the matter - anti matter reaction is just ridiculous.

This is.all so funny any real suggestions
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dclaw_fantum:
After 8 hours of heavy use you still have 61% battery? That is good. I'm normally down to 18% after 8 hours of heavy use.

You even stated that you don't lose power with the screen off.

Why don't you try staying with one ROM for a while and see if it settles? I posted a pic in another thread asking about VU battery life. I was just over 17 hours with about 50% left on battery. It was a weekend and I didn't use my phone much. It just sat idle with WiFi and Bluetooth on if i wasn't talking to someone in the phone. The screen was off for the majority of the time.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skipjacks:
You got real suggestions. There was nothing left to be said after the real suggestions.

The real suggestions were and are to accept the battery use you are getting because it's pretty good. The only way you are going to see much better battery life is to invent a new kind of battery.

Now either accept that an enjoy your good battery life or be miserable about it somewhere else.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dclaw_fantum:
Oh, I just figured out some of the OP! Had to put punctuation where it belongs to make it a clear, coherent thought. They unplugged their phone at 9:30am and by 1:30pm it only had 61%...

I thought they were saying that they unplugged at 1:30pm and would be at 61% around 9:30pm. Which, from their own description of use, would be phenomenal. But even what they are getting is good.

Maybe if they used correct punctuation and paragraph breaks it would be easier to read and understand what they are trying to convey. It would be one thing to use a bunch of acronyms and shorthand, but periods in the middle of sentences and none at the ends makes what they wrote very hard to understand. The area where extended battery is mentioned is very confusing. I read it as the extended battery was "Showing 130% right now, unplugged; and by 9:30 it gets down to 61% with very heavy usage".

Dropped my transformer when I was taking my daughter to gymnastics class. Dropped from about 4 feet onto concrete. Looks like the metal frame is bent, the power and volume buttons don't work and the power and sd card slot seem tight now. I also noticed when I plugged it into power that there is a crack on the screen and some black pixels showing up. What are my options in regards to repair? I fired off an e-mail to Asus support to see if I could get a quote. How can I go about finding a repair place and/or parts and howtos on how to replace it myself?

Get a new one, you would end up spending more if you want to get it repaired.

Sadly as above poster mentioned, this will cost a lot more than getting a new one:(
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reaperzero:
same rule applies to most tech gadgets with nice screens. the screen actually cost more to replace then buying the tab
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benmyers2941:
Unfortunately I'd have to throw in with the the rest. The repair cost probably exceeds that of repurchase. The iPhone repairs are a bit of an anomaly. They have enough volume for third party manufacturers to be able to turn a profit on replacement parts. I doubt the same can be said for our transformers.

With that said would you consider selling broken one for a fund raiser? PM me if you're interested. I think the guys would make a decent media center even if the built in touch screen is borked
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techno79:
Like others have said, buy a new one and sell this one as parts on ebay. I'm sure it'll fetch a small amount to help offset the cost of the new one. Plenty of people who are good with electronics would be interested as there's probably quite a few components that could be re-used (e.g. battery).

Ok, so i've see a lot of great threads on cases and some really good reviews too and now my OCD is starting to kick in.

Which case is the best? I'm looking for something durable, light, and thin. Preferably TPU or some sort of soft and flexible material NOT silicone.

Pretty much i'm looking for the same case as what i had on my captivate, the mirage by bodyglove.

I've got a few different cases that i'm trying to decide between but i'm having a problem making the final decision.

I'm asking YOU, fellow SGS2-ers, to help me decide. Place your vote and leave a note (hey that rhymes!) and i will be sure to post a detailed review of the case if one hasn't been made already (or contribute to one that already exists)!

I have this Incipio case:

http://www.myincipio.com/Samsung-Ga...-II-ATandT-NGP-Semi-Rigid-Soft-Shell-Case.asp

It is very nice quality, and fits perfectly. It does however have an small cutout for the international version's lanyard. It is really small though, so not too big of a problem. Some of the ones I have seen have the whole corner cutout for the international version (Ringke cases had this problem, which is why I did not choose that one). That seems like a huge problem to me, since if you drop it, the entire corner is exposed.

Hope this helps :)
