Its AOSP, thats all that needs to be said. I will be on it launch day (hopefully). I am right outside of Houston, though the LTE won't make it to me, Wimax hasn't either :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] colorado_al:
I bet is is a TI OMAP. Would make updating easier to keep same chip family as other GNex.

I was expecting the GNex to be released soon on Sprint. That's why I bought a used SGS2E4GT for $250 and still have my upgrade ready to go. I will probably wait until LTE is available near me, however.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
I hope this is the Exynos that we originally heard about...even if it isn't, pffft, big deal. I'm already making plans to sell my ET4G if this thing drops any later than March 26th....which would be stupid, but, whatever.

N1 was awesome, NS/4G was awesome...I haven't played with one yet, but, even if it is the OMAP it will be clocked to 1.5ghz and but much closer in performance to our 1.2ghz Exynos......and if its Exynos, holy crap.

...maybe they just needed some time to finish developing the CDMA+LTE Exynos and after all the delays they did what it took to get the first one out the door last year at all....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] _MetalHead_:
This news is very meh to me. I had the Galaxy Nexus and returned it after a few weeks. It's a cool phone but the E4GT is much nicer.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
I will be selling my Epic Touch, any buyers?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Devi0124:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stang04:
+1,

i agree, by then maybe we'll have a SG3, htc or just around the corner another great phone ...:cool:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
That actually looks nice. Might be my next phone. We'll see what's out by June.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_exactly:
No point in getting a new phone until we have LTE and sadly Kansas City wasn't on that list. I bet we get it soon though. Somethig about us being the Sprint world headquarters...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dhoshman:
Although Im happy for you all out there that were waiting for this to happen, I dont think its enough of a device to make me leave my E4gT. Aside from screen and camera ICS is the only thing differentiating this from the E4GT and "for me" thats not that big of a deal. Now if the rumor that the Galaxy Note will be arriving on sprint holds true yeah my phone will mos def be for sale lol. Just hoping it has the Exynos chip and not the qualcomm, either way I would more than likely pick it up.

Go to :24. That was my reaction to this news :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crownholder:
I see people keep posting we will have the SG3 by then but its safe to assume that we would not even see the SG3 in the U.S. till 6 months after it has been on the european market...im stating that because of the time frame with the SG2.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stang04:
that's true
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Fataldesain:
Does this mean wimax won't work and the phone will be stuck on 3g until sprint upgrades. If so this really sucks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shark_On_Land:
Yes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
No WiMax towers will still be there. It costs more money to remove them than to just add LTE towers. Eventually they will be faded out. Sprint is going to make the transition smooth. Not immediately kill WiMax and make us all wait for LTE.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bbedward:
If only it was free :'(

The only reason I want one is for development. If the externals met the internals of the et4g (s/wimax/lte of course) I would be buy one asap. But... that isn't the case :-[
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bbedward:
I'm assuming we will find out at CES
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Androidfreakz:
Ill get on on day 1 release, plus I stay in Dallas one of the first LTE markets. Until then ill us my Galaxy S2.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stepinmyworld:
Definitely wont be getting it if it doesn't have the exynos processor. This processor is just too good
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ssconceptz:
I will be jumping on the Galaxy Nexus then, hope it releases soon!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mecksg1:
I'm getting it no matter what. This is the reason why I never went to Verizon for this, unlimited data and Ics, o boy I'm having a great year allready

I have upgrade on 4/12 and live in Houston. Bring it on! Also have 9/12 upgrade I'm saving for quad core phone

But honestly this eptouch currently the best it gets.. Such an awesome phone that I don't need to upgrade for once.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] flight01:
I may get this not sure yet gonna wait and see if there is allot of dev support and if its as good as the e4gt performance wise. If we had nfc and able to use android beam I would not even consider trading my e4gt for it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stretchwookie:
i know right? if its Galaxy Nexus vs. Galaxy S3 vs. Galaxy Note, im really looking at the Note unless there is something absolutely ridiculously great about the s3. imho, Galaxy Note>Galaxy Nexus. person reasons of course, not that i dont know the awesome specs of the gnex. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] steindog99:
Your wording is a bit off on this. The "towers" you are referring to are just antennas. Depending on the frequency, the WiMax antenna's could very well remain, and just the radios for them in the control room of the towers would be changed over to make it LTE. Although I would hope for our sake that Sprint upgrades some of these dated antennas that are out there. Anyways, it is VERY easy to replace those antennas if that is the route Sprint takes...which is the most likely.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] morbidrealities:
no

You're wrong. I work for the largest telecom supplier in the US and I know its a lot more difficult, expensive and time consuming than you're guessing at. I can explain in more detail if youd like but, unless you ask ill leave it at that.

P.S.

The towers you think are antennas are actually towers. The antennas are the dish type objects that are attached to the towers. There are also some antennas on the towers but, those arent the LTE or WiMax type antennas. Those are for sending and receiving different types of info and or companies or goverments leasing space on telecom towers for relays or whatnot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tahde:
If the Galaxy Note drops for Sprint. That's a done deal for me. My Evo 3D is gone. But if it doesn't and the Gnex does........hell, the EVO is just gone period. Lol

AOSP is just another rom, isn't it? By Google? Sure.

I could have said "Its Touchwiz, thats all that needs to be said." Or you could have said "Its Sense, thats all that needs to be said."

Surely, I could have said it in proper grammar, but oh well, you said it first.

Same difference though.

You fascination with Google or Apple or Samsung isn't shared.

I personally think the note, nexus and epic are all insanely great devices. I would own all 3 if I could. Just so happens I upgraded to the epic and I'm sticking with it. I like the size of the note, the pure Android 4.0 on the nexus and the great devs we have here on the epic.

Lol he has multiple lines, and when each is eligible, he uses the upgrade and passes his phone on to another person. Same thing I do with my girlfriend. She dgaf about having the best. So I got the 3d, she got my evo. I got the e4gt, she got my 3d. Its still an upgrade for her lol

Does anyone know what processor is in it? I know the Verizon and international one is the TI OMAP 4460 @ 1.2 but the Sprint ad says 1.5. It wouldn't be the new Exynis would it? If it is I'm all over it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jmejiaa:
I'll be honest, I had the Galaxy in my hands yesterday and the smaller size(while still big) made it a lot easier to handle with one hand than my epic..

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chazglenn3:
I'll wait for the Galaxy S III to be announced at MWC and then for it to arrive in the US in the fall. Maybe by then Sprint LTE will be in the Seattle/Tacoma area. I played with the Galaxy Nexus at a Verizon store and I'm just not impressed enough to give up my Epic Touch...especially after it gets equipped with ICS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
Only if your city has been upgraded to LTE.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chazglenn3:
Personally, I seriously doubt that the Sprint Galaxy Nexus will have BOTH Wimax and LTE. And, since it is shown as a LTE phone...you will only have 3G data until your area gets Sprint LTE.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jmejiaa:
With wiimax going to sleep constantly and never waking up for messages per design I already have only 3g living in a great 4g area. I rather have my push notifications on time then my phone in a useless sleep state.

Honestly, it's not Super Amoled Plus, it's just Super Amoled, so that's a no go for me. Also, the camera on the SGSII is really reallly good on GB, so it should be even better on ICS.

BATtery Life initially with LTE and BUgs and MOre OH MY!

I will wait to see what happens before going all crazy. I liked the You Tube video rockethot posted earlier. The Vid at :24 was a little weird but awesome BTW!

EVO 4G was an awesome phone but initially the battery was sucked dry by WiMax because it was new to Sprint/DEVs/Android. Then after DEVs tweaked and tweaked the battery life got better. It seemed to take about 6 to nine months later for those fixes to happen. If I remember right it was fixed by figuring out what was running in the background. So I can wait to find out what the battery life will be like.

I live in Orange County/LA County where I will probably have to wait for a small amount of time before getting LTE. So I have time before I need anything from LTE as WiMax will be on for a long time.

DEVs have a little more difficulty in programming CDMA/Sprint it seems. My example is ICS for E4GT and CM7/9. And other phones Sprint supports.

The bugs LTE will have in the beginning are an unknown to me. I do not know because I don't have it yet and simply don't care yet. Yes, I am simply happy with WiMax. I am not downloading anything special. But if I want to I can. I only want a product that works and works well. In my house I have 4G at my couch and most places I go to work. I travel in OC/LA a lot and 4G does vary but isn't required for daily business.

ICS will be available for E4GT soon (no rush, just make it fast and reliable [with WiMax please]).

No NFC might be a bummer for some but not for me.

Other phones to come out with LTE on Sprint in the future may have quad core processors. This would be the ultimate hardware in my opinion. I would still wait for reviews and pick the best of the very best of the best. Which brings me to.... can you believe they are making another MIB movie.

Unless you get LTE in your area where you don't have WiMax, I don't see a real actual reason except... "I have the newest phone with the newest stuff". Which isn't always the best.

Now that I wrote a book. Most of us should wait for June 2012 and be happy we have a AWESOME phone to work and play with before you destroy your X-Box. Thank you DEVs for all that you do!

Maybe next year for Xmas this guy will bring you a new awesome phone. Look up DRUNK REINDEER SINGING SILENT NIGHT on you tube. Cheers

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zurginator:
I live in one of the places first to get LTE.... but I plan to hold onto my ET4G.

Hopefully, as everyone jumps to LTE, congestion will drop, and speeds will move (if only slightly). Maybe the 3mb/s I get at home will move to the 15mb/s I get everywhere else.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xiaohan:
I bought my Desire HD from Hong Kong last February, and just before Christmas, I found my phone is starting the navigation app(The one for car come with the phone) keeps getting triggered for some reason; a week later the speaker is automatically switched on when I am calling, I have to manually turn it off every time. Few days ago, I found the phone's screen gets turned on, just like when the screen is off, you press the power button to switch on the screen.

All these 3 problems disappears when I have the microUSB cable pluged, it does not necessary to plug the USB part to a charger or computer.

I tried to clean the microUSB port on the phone, and I make sure nothing inside, only some tiny dust. But the problems still remains.

Anyone?

There's nothing wrong with 3.4.4, it's just I like the look of 3.1.5 better.

Ok I'll give that a try.

[UPDATE] There was no marketupdater.apk.
[General Questions and Answers] julljus:
you dont have to install Titanium.

i did it with ES file Explorer and with root access.

go to device - system/apps and find marketupdater.app and rename it marketupdater.app1 or what ext. u like - marketupdater.old :)

thats it.

Well there isn't any marketupdater.apk in my /system/app folder. It doesn't show up in titanium, root explorer, or through adb.

Attention: Random off topic junk

Ok. The photon is my favorite Android phone ever out of about 14 android devices but I think I found my next phone. Plus I'm also in Houston where sprint is launching LTE by June 2012. It was fun photon but we're going to have to go separate ways. Its not you, its me..

[Motorola Photon 4G] Mournian:
photon is the best phone I have ever had but there will soon come a day where we must part ways
[Motorola Photon 4G] Android 17:
I honestly don't think this is enough of an upgrade to the Photon.....specially if you have to pay full price for it.

It still has a pentile on it, the processor and gpu are overclocked but are still older, etc.

Personally I'd have to wait for a 720p non-pentile screen, with either Tegra 3 or the new Exynos GPU's Samsung will start putting on the Galaxy S3 line. That would represent a true step up.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dxl880517:

[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Samsung = bad radio. They have something to prove before I buy one again. Aside from that, this would be great.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cornelious2:
I thought their last patch fixed the LOS issue, i am cautiously watching them again, but i have been absolutely thrilled with the build quality of this phone so motorola will get a second shot if they keep up with updates.
[Motorola Photon 4G] twospirits:
When I first heard this this afternoon, I thought "Great, possibly will get this on my second line" but then I remember the un-timely updates, the radio issues.

Besides I love my Photon and it being a world phone is a added bonus.

Although I'll be honest, the Nexus LTE aspect is nice as well as the unlocked bootloader, etc but I wonder if it will be just LTE or LTE/CDMA or a world phone as well.

For now, I'll wait it out till Googlrola comes out with the next super duper Nexus X LTE/CDMA/GSM 2.0Ghz estravaganza. :D

I agree with everyone here. Samsung phones are notorious for having bad radios etc. My contract is actually done in feb 2012 so my plan was either to head to Verizon or att. With this news I may stay and get a galaxy nexus but I'm still not a fan of sprint. Idk yet I can't call it until I see these so called 3G/LTE roll outs first
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
I owned 4 Evo 3D's before I canceled my upgrade and just bought photon full price. HTC lost me as a customer and Motorola won me over. I've owned almost every great Android device out there and the photon is by far the best hardware money can buy. Forgot to mention the last moto device I had was the flip old school razr many years ago.

you can grab aosp code a any time and compile a new rom/kernel

want a new radio because the launch one sucks balls? gutta wait 2 months for samsung to write a new one
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
OK, I have been in an uproar since this was posted. I have searched and read ever thing AGAIN (remember, I was looking at T-Mobile a few weeks back and got depressed!), and here are my thoughts. I will likely get this pre-order, I have the loot, but a few things have to be confirmed..................

5MP Camera? Not a deal breaker as it still shoots true HD.

16Gb Memory (real 16Gb, not 9.XGb Partioned!!)

32Gb MicroSDHC Slot!

RADIO!!!! Lets face it, if calls and internet are jacked, its a total POS!!!

Support - Both Development and Samsung

Battery life - I need 12 hours Min!!!!

Root! - I will need to Root for SetCPU as 1.5GHz will suck the life of above!

Market - ICS for Mobile is not widely supported, YET!

OtterBox Defender - I really love it, so if I bounce............

UNLIMITED!!! - No need to comment here, I like Videos and Movies?

GSM/CDMA - I dont want to be limited to the US!

Just a few of my initial thoughts!

---------- Post added at 11:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 AM ----------

UPDATE: The Notification Light!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the fact I can see if I have new text, e-mail, or missed calls. Not sure if its my setup or not, but I see tooooo many people around me that do not have a clue!!!!

I do like the face unlock on the Nexus!! Again, have to check it out!
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
where the hell have you been getting your info from?

does anyone even know what true HD even is? ill give you a hint.. under 3 MP's

yay for quantum formatting!!!

the galaxy nexus, just like teh nexus s has internal only... aka iphone storage

youve got nothing to worry about. samsung has never made a bad radio, ever... or bad gps

i cant tell if you're trolling or not......

then i suggest you skip LTE

dude... its a nexus device... root is as simple as fastboot oem unlock, fastboot flash recovery cwmfordaphone.img

because you buying this phone will suddenly make people make their apps ics compatible?

honestly cant answer ya on this one man, otterbox had a nexus s case in production taking preorders and then canceled

who doesnt love unlimited ice cream!

then i suggest you stay with a world phone... as the cdma variants of the galaxy nexus.. are just that cdma

i dont understand.. both phones have it... ?

any phone running ics with a FFC will have face unlock
[Motorola Photon 4G] moxiot:
would you be willing to forgo unlimitted internet kenny?
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:

My work day is almost complete, I have spent 7+ hours reading the reviews and all of your post. I have come to the decision that, Satan will ice skate outta he** before I give up my Photon!!!!

Although this is nice, I would be giving up way more that I would be getting back (and Im not worried about ICS)

BUT, In my looking around and my decision NOT to blow $600.00+, I found SanDisk has a 32GB Mobile Ultra MicroSDHC-I Class 6 with 30Mb/sec. r/w for $127.95. Ordered that! Not sure what I will do with Lexer 32Gb Class 10!
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
ouch wtf do you need 32GB's for so badly?? the phone has some built in as do most phones now a days, and with prices as they are you can snag a class 10 16GB for 45 bucks

or if you really want for today only 8 bucks http://www.dailysteals.com/ class 4 16GB card :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
That's a steal shabby. I have a 32gb as well but for 8 bucks ill buy this just in case!
