Yes this may be sprints first LTE phone how many cities have sprint LTE. If you want 4g might be better holding off until late this year/early next for better LTE support and stick with WiMax for now.

Also as other have said the epic touch is a better phone. Better rear camera, faster processor, better gpu, battery lasts longer on WiMax vs. LTE. The only advantages of the galaxy nexus is slightly larger screen (at that size could be a con), LTE support, and better custom rom support.

So overall I would say the epic touch is a nicer phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] digweed4me:
Why would lte suck more than wimaxx? Lte running in lower frequency penetrates building much better than wiimax

Personally Im waiting for a samsung quad core, most likely the S3. I have found out through my many attemps to switch OEM's that I am a samsung fan, no matter what. But seriously, your talking about "upgrading" to a phone that has been out for 4-5 months by the time sprint releases it, and around that same time phones will be lauching with twice the processor, twice the camera, etc. Why waste your upgrade, or money?

+1 to that. Besides that, when you upgrade to something that has little or no DEV support, it is better to just wait awhile.

And +1 to iSaints sig!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iSaint:
Agreed with the iPhone 5 around the corner why would I waste money on this (Gnex)

:(

ugh im so stressed
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
thanks for harshing my buzz over your sigs with the mention of the IBone...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] badname:
have an upgrade now, but defiantly going to wait for 4 cores. Hopefully the next "Nexus" inst too far away. Im sure well have all the roms proper soon enough: MIUI, CM9, AOKP. There almost all ready as is.

Though I cant possibly Imagine what that much power is for in a phone considering our e4gt underclocked to 500mhz still runs like a dream.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
E4GT all the way
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LordLugard:
Having had the Nexus S 4G and living with it's absolutely terrible speaker quality and generally weak volume (missed calls due to low volume and weak vibrate, using the speakers for YouTube or online videos was a waste of time) and terrible radio to boot, it's a wonder that it's the same Samsung that makes the NS4G and the Epic Touch.

The Epic Touch is night and day compared to the NS4G specifically in the areas of audio, speaker quality and volume.

Having prefaced with all that, i'm skeptical about the Galaxy Nexus as well. First off, the camera is not good, some VZW users have said. I have read some posts talking about low speaker quality, basically the speakers are not loud at all (same issue i found with the NS4G). At least Sprint's version is 32GB storage (negates whining about expansion slot a bit).

I'll have to play with it in person first before deciding. Epic Touch is plenty fine and functioning very well for me right now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] revamper:
The HD screen on the nexus alone makes the jump worth it IMO. You are still right though. It's going to take a while for sprint lte to mature.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] master acehole:
The specs don't even compare yea it has a 1.5 exynos but no sd card and 5.0 mp as oppose to the high standard 8.0 and eventually coming 12.0 cameras only galaxy s 3 can take me away from this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] digweed4me:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Respect18:
definitely switching, can't miss that LTE love here in Dallas
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brownhornet:
1900 mhz building penetration is going to suck almost as much as wimax does. HUGEEEEE difference between Verizon's LTE on 800mhz than what this one is going to be like. And thatll likely mean the battery will be even worse than that version.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
We all knew it was going to be the first, the question is when. I'm leaving and I already have a buyer for my Epic 4G Touch

---------- Post added at 06:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:31 PM ----------

1900 mhz is what we use now on Sprint. They are going to be adding 800mhz beginning in 2013 when they decommission iDEN
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
It's supposed to have a omap 4470 @ 1.5 not exynos..... Better gpu than e4gt ... If it has the better CPU and 32 GB yep it's mine and I will still get sgs3 when it comes out
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
That's a rumor still. A lot of people still believe it has a 4460, not the 4470. Though some believe it is correctly clocked at 1.5GHz instead of underclocked at 1.2GHz
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] digweed4me:
They gonna deploy lte in March, April, may, juneeedeeeeeeeeeee here in Dallas.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iSaint:
That would be stupid of them to send out exact phone overclocked wouldn't do anything but screw up battery even more :/

sprint has to have something special they can't honestly release an outdated phone and expect it to sell right :?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bear gri11z:
I only see two things that would pry me from the E4GT and one of those wont affect me for a very long time..

Number 1) its a google phone and I love pure Android!

Number 2) upgraded radio to lte! (ill never get lte anyways?)

With quadcores hopefully showing up around the corner with LtE aswell I see no point of buying a dual core phone... (just my opinion dont bite my head off)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
If it isn't upgraded and still like VZW they can stick that pos where the sun don't shine...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
I'm getting it no matter what. I rather have the latest android version then wait 6 months after its released just for another version to be released

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
You know sprint's nexus s still hasn't received ics, right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
outdated hardware.

That is all
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bear gri11z:
true ;) but software is only good if the hardware supports it ;)

Im not running windows 7 on my 01 Compaq desktop for that very reason :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Not the hardware, the international version runs ics just fine, the only difference being gsm.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kurtiskobain:
.1 inch screen difference (which is used up by the on screen buttons anway) and an NFC chip

im not buying it, oh, and im not buying it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Verizon and Sprint will have a nearly identical GALAXY Nexus. So if Sprint doesn't get updates right away, then neither will Verizon.

Besides, the GALAXY Nexus will have a ton of developer support, so it doesn't truly matter. I'm sticking to Nexus devices only from now on. I'm tired of always being being, whether it be stock Android or development.

The only major difference between the two will possible be a SIM-less LTE, and maybe a processor upgrade, but that's it

---------- Post added at 08:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 PM ----------

Also WiMAX slows down everything. The GALAXY Nexus is LTE now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
Ill pass on the GalNex, I want the Galaxy Note to come to sprint.:cool:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
I'm going through the FCC documents very slowly trying to find out everything I can so far:

- The device doesn't support VOLTE due to software set at factory. But the hardware does support it.

- GALAXY Nexus has been approved for 1900MHz LTE, 850/1900 CDMA/EVDO, NFC, and Bluetooth 4.0 no signs if it support 850MHz or 2.5GHz LTE yet, might have been left out because it doesn't exist yet. (Could be added later)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
I think people who bought Verizon's nexus are in for a rude awakening.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
I'm pretty sure Sprint has gone SIM-less with LTE, which is awesome. They have put confidential markers on everything that would even indicate whether it had a SIM or not. And no one that got to use it at the announcement said they saw a SIM card number in the settings. (Then again, I don't know if they were active either)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
Yeah I can't believe the ns4g hasn't gotten the ics update yet. The GSM version got it in December.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Nexus S 4G was supposed to get it a few weeks ago, what happened?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
As an electrical engineer, I can tell you programming processors to handle wireless radios is the most headache inducing part of embedded programming. They have to port the gsm source to handle cdma/Wimax without killing battery life, not an easy task.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Well it's not Samsung, it's Qualcomm. That's why HTC and Samsung have around the same signal strength while Motorola Photon crushes all of them
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
Nothing better then running a Galaxy Nexus in Tablet Mode :D

Coming from the E4GT, I must say I have become a Nexus fan after switching to Verizon and picking up the Gnex. It is just amazing what the devs can do with this thing and how fast they can do it.

I did find the E4GT easier to use with one hand though stretching from corner to corner then the GN and the thinness of the E4GT helped with that.

I have been able to capture some great pictures with the GN. And sure the internals might not look as good on paper but everyday usage will show you otherwise.

Let's just say if Sprint's version is the same as Verzion's it will still be a fantastic device and if Sprint decides to up anything, it will be even better...

I am just curious to see if Sprint keeps unlimited data with their LTE phones or if they are going to change things up a bit...Will be very interesting.

Anyway, by the time my contract is up on Verizon, Sprint LTE network might actually be decent so I can always check them out 2 years from now. Until then, they have a lot of work ahead of them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bbedward:
All true except the omap performs way better than the exynos. Its the gpu on the nexus that's the problem. The battery statement isn't 100% true either.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Pulled due to horrible battery reports but I grabbed that leaked 4.0.4 tar and it was great. Android OS went from 20%'s down to 5%.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t1chaz2002:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Sprint is definitely keeping unlimited data. It isn't going away anytime soon
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iSaint:
If they change they would lose all their customers :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
There's no reason to switch. LTE would decrease their costs, not increase.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iSaint:
Ik .. im just saying if they got rid of unlimited right now they would lose everything ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ludrose:
I would switch but don't have a back up phone to use during the turn over time plus I don't want the aggro of hearing about jelly bean and getting all anxious about it.I'll wait till the next nexus is released. Might get a ns4g to play with though
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
You buy nexus, sell epic touch. No need for middle phone

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
They wouldn't lose current customers as it would only effect new accounts and people resigning for upgrades. Current customers would keep their unlimited plans while still using Sprints terrible Wimax network.

Sprint offers unlimited data and still continues to lose money. Now they have to pay off their iPhone bill on top of everything else. How do you expect them to do it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bear gri11z:
Like I said ill troll you if I decide not to get it

I will definitely check it out!

(jerdog please dont give me another warning Korey know aswell as everyone I kid I kid )
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fadimo305:
WiMAX is NOT horrible to all you haters :p it is the better tech than LTE and with the switch to Wimax R2 by clear you never know ;) plus i think the FCC is screwing LTE because of GPS interference and has destined LTE to fail.hey if sprint fixes WiMAX with ATLEAST Revision 2 im GOOD.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
Sprint isn't doing anything more with their Wimax system. What you see is what you get.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bbedward:
The FCC has no issues with LTE do some research and you'll discover its only the spectrum light squared was planning on deploying to.

And LTE had already been adopted all over the world including the US on the 2 largest networks so its here to stay.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gtuansdiamm:
I like tw so ill stick to my et4g

And if gs3 has lte it would kinda suck for me because its been only a month or 2 since wimax has been avaliable every where I go

I don't lte arriving anytime soon

Besides why would I downgrade

I have ics I see no other point

Also after two galaxy s devices I have become very patient with software updates
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
My WiMax in SoCal averages 8-10Mbps download speeds. It has been better the past few months. It really bogged down the first half of 2011 but got much better the second half. I was down to 4-5Mbps then suddenly it shot back up. I miss California. This 3g is tough. I have never had to use it. Since launch day of OG Epic, I have used 3g a total of 5 times. I will be ok if LTE doesn't hit L.A. area immediately but we'll see how long it takes to get there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
They already ported the TW launcher to the GN. Why anyone would use it is beyond me but it is available.

I am surprised there have not been any announcements for an LTE from HTC yet. They used to be Sprints best phones...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Lol, yes. I will say I've never reported you. I enjoy your type of trolling
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
Samsung outsells htc now, so I guess Sprint is using them for partnership over htc.

Jerdog said it may cause flame wars and such... Which I can understand.. I dont try to step on peoples toes :(

But I am becoming ever more interested in the gnex... I may test drive one I got 2 upgrades saved up..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
If they switch to limited data I am going back to an iPod touch and dumb phone combo. To give you an idea of how small 2GB is, simply downloading the fc13 tar would use 25 percent of your 2GB, not even counting restoring apps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Korey is jealous that his twin brother Whosdaman is so popular on XDA
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bear gri11z:
Lolololol (are they really twins?)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
I have 2 upgrades on my account as well... But I'm not going to use them. Instead I still have Sprint Rewards Me Plus, and I get a new pone every 6 months for a subsidized price with no contract. Probably the best benefit ever, unfortunately they only allot a certain amount of stock so I have to make sure I check daily
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Hahahaha :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ElAguila:
Since I am in one of the first cities to be getting LTE it would make sense for me to get it. But it will depend on whether or not the coverage and speeds live up to expectations. Where I live if I want wimax 4G I have to drive another half mile down the road. It will also depend on whether the phone has an external memory card slot. If not then I will have to pass on this one.

Seems like your only option is Ebay. I have found them on buyitnow for 19.88US. just do a search for this on ebay "OEM BATTERY BACK COVER CASE DOOR FOR SAMSUNG GALAXY S Glide SGH-i927 "

20$ is still costly but could have been worse, another guy on the forums is complaining about his screen that shattered, you only have to worry about a plastic rear case that is easy to replace!!

JB
[Samsung Captivate Glide] rogernizzLe:
With average usage, I would assume it would last just over 2 full days on a single charge. And regarding weight, maybe it's about twice as heavy as your current battery. They recently updated the page with pictures so the battery cover has a built-in stand which is kinda neat. Even with all the advantages that may come with it, 100 dollars is still hard to swallow.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] jayjayjoker2:
Yeah $100 is quite a lot but I have the phone for 2 years so I might just get it

I need a PG76IMG.zip that will permit me to reflash my radio and HBOOT. It MUST be CDMA and I would prefer a Virgin Mobile.

I have heard that the HTCDEV RUU has been updated to being only one rom.zip containing both the radio and HBOOT and if someone could provide me with that, I would be eternally happy.

I would run the utility myself and get the rom.zip, but my phone is presently bricked, hence why I need the PG76IMG.zip.

If you have one available, PLEASE let me know!

(I know that there is one on simonsimons34's post in the Dev section, but that does work for my phone.)
[HTC Wildfire S] MrTaco505:
I have one for tmobile us but looks like you need the vm version. It's easy to get the Rom zip file. Just run the ruu and STOP at the view readme or basically do nothing then go into run/search and type in "%TEMP%" and will bring up a lot of folder with nunmbers. Look for the folder that has another folder+2 files and that second folder will have the ruu files and you will find the Rom zip. (for me the 1.09.0099 ruu had two zips) rename it to PG76IMG.zip and flash it, there you go. :D
[HTC Wildfire S] kalaker:
It didn't work... Oh well. I am sending it to RadioShack (that's who my warranty is with) tomorrow or Monday (whenever the box arrives) so it'll be fixed eventually.
