That's a well known defect by both Sprint and HTC. I had my phone replaced when that happened to me last year. A Sprint tech took the phone apart then HTC said that voided my warranty (smell bull**** anyone). They gave me the run around at first cuz I had no insurance but after I filed a complaint with the BBB my case got escalated to the VP level and got it replaced for free.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] blackte4:
Here is the update.... The 16gb phones will ship tonight and everyone who order them will receive it on the 21st. The 32gb will be delayed until early next week. its not the color but the storage size. I decided to wait to next week. I love my epic 4 g touch so I guess I can work with it another week..

So where is my update FF18... im waiting...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Devtodi:
Good plan. Back to my regularly scheduled life.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Bizdady:
Speaking of which, you guys getting the Tep? I ended up canceling my Evo tep since it wasnt cost effective after the first year but seeing this phone is so pricey off contract...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Soupskin:
Mine will often be mounted to my motorcycle handlebars to use as GPS... so yes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] themilitaryman:
I am going to add TEP back at least til I get used to the S3 and its size and feel ... I am thinking that if a drop is going to happen the chances are much higher in the first few weeks while your getting used to the device and playing with it so much. I can always discontinue TEP later if desired but can't add after first 30 days.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ascertion:
Sprint thread is getting larger than Verizon's. Keep it up guys!

(We have more posts already, they have more views!)

P.S. I heard the Pebble Blue is delayed. Any confirmations?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 44pillowspa:
They are doing this for me. My upgrade is 7/1. There will be s3's in the corporate stores. You guys will debug the s3 by then. Good luck guys. I would guess most will see your phones soon. Pre ordering seems like a very stressful undertaking. :banghead:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mlin:
Source? Also, with shipping tonight, the phones should be delivered tomorrow, not Thursday.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mr.lumbergh:
We're more fanatical than them guys! Lets kick this thread in high gear LOL
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fatboypup:
SOB I KNEW i should have gotten the 16gb :eek:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jsmcmahon89:
I'd like to know the source of this as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kegacide:
hopefully the color isn't an issue cause i ordered the 16gb pebble blue
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fatboypup:
Jessica: Thank you for visiting Sprint. What questions can I answer for you today?

You: hey gurl

Jessica: Thank you for your patience. If your question is account or order related, please have your order number, account number and PIN ready.

You: so i hear the 32g galaxy s3's are on backorder

Jessica: Please wait while a secure chat connection is established.

You: i dont wanna wait

You: i wanna be on the NOW network

You: i want things NOW

You: like my blue 32g s3

Jessica: Please wait while a secure chat connection is established.

You: call me, we'll have beer and wings

Let me know if you want me to do anything at the event in the comments on each blog. I'll try to accommodate every one.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Sleestax:
Assuming that the update is not some B.S. from a troll, you would prefer to get half the storage in order to get in in your hands a few days earlier? You may want to try some pebble blue alprazolam. :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fatboypup:
i didnt really NEED the storage I just said WTH for 50 bucks more :cool: and yes id gladly give it up to have the phone a week earlier :p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
I ordered 16gb pebble blue cuz, well, personally, probably more storage than I would need. Plus I already have a 32gb sdcard; so some have different needs. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bbb1977:
Shipping Status

I just got off the phone with a supervisor from Sprint and after waiting on hold for a few mins for her to check the status of my order, she got on the phone and said the phones would be shipping the day of the 21st and I asked her why it isnt being shipped prior to that and she informed me there were some delays in the testing of the phones but they would for sure be shipping on the 21st.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fatboypup:
you as much as this sucks and how bad we think it is .... its great for samsung cause they have the hottest most desired handset on the planet ... :D

sounds like another smokescreen
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jr71x:
Wow, lol, I just played this game with the evo lte, I ended up getting it at wallyworld... How it pains me that I took it back, cause it was freaking sweet and I love HTC but they screwed the pooch for my business because of the stupid battery... I hope Sammy doesn't let me down... So does anyone know why there is a delay? Too many orders, apple, I'm kinda late in the game as I pre ordered on the 14th 16GB... I can't wait to see the development on this as I see a few big name drops coming from the og evo... Good luck to all...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:
nope... hoping that means mine's on schedule. when did you order?

but I know they don't know anything
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Epix4G:
You will be more happy with more GB .....the gs3 roms are like 700+ Mb.......the nandroids are going to run from 1 to 2 GB... Put a ROM or 2 on there and you will quickly run out of space..... Remember 16 GB is only 14.3 or so and 32 is only 28+ put a little music in there and you will have a full phone....to me it makes more sense to get 32 & I ordered a 64 GB class 10 card for it....

You can't have too much storage even with drop box etc

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RawisTheGameHhH:
what TPU did you get; can you link me please?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] biglos201:
I couldn't agree more, I've been flashing roms on my Evo OG for a while trying to get better performance even tried PRIMO's ICS rom (he's still working on it) that looked awesome but not working fully yet. I'm at the point where I'm pulling my eye lashes out because of the screen lag from time to time. Also the **** weighs about a million grams, I've seen the EPIC and sensation phones and the Gs2. They are light as a ****ing feather! :cool:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aznmode:
Do any of you know if I factory reset this device will the whole internal (32gb or 16gb) will be formatted? I know on my Asus Prime it does that so I lose everything including pictures, videos, games and app data. I'd hate for this to be the case as I dont wanna have to back them up on another storage.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Swayyy:
I JUST ordered you ,

and this is crazy,

so give me tracking,

and ship me maybe?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:
Well I just found out I get to "try out" an LTE for Sprint!!! So at least I'll have something new to play with. And in 30 days after I post the content for Sprint sell that sucka!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fatboypup:
Got a "s line" tpu on fleabay from china $2.84 shipped
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fatboypup:
A factory reset does not wipe the internal 8gb on the s2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aznmode:
Thanks I hope its the same for the s3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fatboypup:
im SURE it is
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JoshBeach:
the only way to wipe internal data is to delete through computer or with a file explorer program like es or root explorer. Or my files.

:-)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cbond007:
I have an Evo LTE and I can't wait to get rid of it. Im praying that this phone comes out before my 30 days before I'm stuck with it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fatboypup:
i dont belive that either, you can format the "usb"/internal storage from the handset
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kegacide:
i got a similar one on Amazon, paid almost double the price though at $5.95 total... i got hosed, haha

http://www.amazon.com/Cimo-S-Line-F..._1_2?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1340136138&sr=1-2

got it clear though so the pebble blue can show through, never did the clear on a cell before, hope it looks good...

Pretty sure you only had 14 days to return the EVO LTE.....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fatboypup:
i got a clear androidified one from cruzerlite
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cbond007:
I purchased from best buy. They give you 30 days. Yesterday they pre-ordered the SIII for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mlin:
What's so bad about the evo lte? I had one and was quite pleased with it.

---------- Post added at 02:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 PM ----------

Is the 30 days only for exchanges?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] creamcityjw:
HAHA after all the waiting and stressing over this, you have just made my week/month/however long we have to wait.

All we need is a photoshop of Carly Rae Jepsen on stage with a GSIII.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cbond007:
I hated the lag i was getting at times, the constant loading screen when hitting the home button, and it won't recognize my car bluetooth system.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aznmode:
OK thanks. I was reading in some of the Q&A thread and someone had mentioned to delete internal sd you do a full wipe. I assumed that mean factory reset including cache and dalvik. At least thats how it is for HTC devices. Never own a sammy so I'm not sure how sammy works.

Here is that post.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27580420&postcount=4
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cbond007:
Yes. 30 days for exchanges. 14 days for returns or resetting your upgrade.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jmstansell:
I've had all my accessories since Saturday. One cheapo TPU case from China, 3 cheapo screen protectors, 3 XtremeGuard full body skins, 2 extra non-NFC batteries and battery charger, and a 32GB Samsung class 10 microsd card, all for my 32GB Pebble Blue Samsung Galaxy SIII that I have no clue of when it will be here...:mad::(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pathtologos:
This is true, unfortunately. Confirmed with best buy they won't let me exchange my evo LTE for the s3 if its after 14 days. That's why best buy MUST have the s3 by friday. Or ill have to return my EVO and wait with a crappy LG optimus s (my backup device).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] newspapercrane:
I was on the phone yesterday and they said that my had shipped yesterday. Also, on my sprint dot com / myorder listing it says "Status: The equipment has shipped and/or the activation is complete" Though I was porting from another carrier, so God only knows what that means. I kept calling them for something else, and kept getting routed to the port department. They claimed that my port is only waiting on phone activation to finish.

It would be lovely to see my phone waiting for me when I got home from work though. *fingers crossed* :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Wirefly_Kim:
Hey Everyone, I wanted to pass this on if you Pre-ordered from Wirefly. We just posted this about the launch on our FB page. It's from our CEO. I wanted to keep you all in the loop.

Well, here we go again. We’ve just been notified that the Samsung Galaxy S III is being delayed. We made you a promise that we’d keep you updated on inventory information so we wanted to get this out to you just as soon as we received notice from Sprint. As of now, Sprint is informing us that the new release date will be June 28th. If for any reason this changes we’ll be sure to let you know. The delay is affecting all national retailers, both online and in stores. We don’t like delays any more than you do, but wanted you to hear the news as soon as possible.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cbond007:
You have 30 days to exchange if you purchased from Best Buy. I was just in the store yesterday and completed my preorder for my S3 and I'm on day 20 of my 30 days.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mlin:
I see. The home reloading issue was a little annoying though I always used nova launcher anyway so it was a non issue for me. I heard about the BT issues but I had no problem pairing in a Mercedes-Benz. I didn't experience any lag that was more than what could be expected. I've never owned a device that doesn't lag from time to time, except maybe the htc arrive (wp7). Even my almighty iPhone 4s stutters or becomes unresponsive from time to time. Obviously I wasn't in love with the EVO or I would've kept it but, there is still a possibility I'll go back if I'm not pleased with the GS3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] danon.brown:
was this posted here already? It may help with the anticipation of getting an update from sprint regarding the phones. Go to www.ups.com/mychoice/ and sign up for "UPS MY Choice" it will text/e-mail you when you when a package has been scanned for your address. You don't have to have a tracking # for it to notify you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sekigah84:
Will do. I'll check the Wifi and signal strength. It looks like the venue will have thick walls. I'll be comparing it to an Epic 4G Touch for Signal strength so we shall see.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cbond007:
Yeah, I expect a little lag from time to time, but I never had it happen that much on my OG Evo and it is supposed to be half the phone the Evo Lte is.

that just means your disappointed in the morning, not your UPS' guy regular time

So awesome to see a Wu-tang avatar. I haven't listened to them for ages.

Welp...

*rages at the thought of another week with this broken Evo*
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] scottspa74:
Wait, so sprint is screwing with launch dates on this device, too?! :confused:

I understood with the Evo LTE as it was in customs and out of their control. Is there some similar issue with this device launch ? (I haven't been following, as I'm not particularly interested in this device, but AM interested in whether sprint us botching a launch or there are more fruit suits)

Thanks

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] worldwidepmp:
Looks like I'll have to wait until the 28th. Wirefly says Sprint told them that's the new date nationwide. Somebody said it on SlickDeals last night too.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TeamERA:
LoL Shane , nah, its been said plenty, that doesn't mean anything at this point.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CapsLockKey:
Is yours a new line or an upgrade? I'm assuming the people who pre-ordered for a new line are getting this since the phones are supposed to come pre-activated and it's referring to the later part of that statement. Those of us who are just upgrading have to activate the phones ourselves.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] droidsrus:
Maybe that's why i got an email from wirefly about my pre order being cancelled for no reason. Well now I know the reason. Great -__-

I've had that on my order for a few days. Any lawyers here? could there be a lawsuit for false advertisement?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smark72:
I heard somewhere they were stopping this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smark72:
No it does not. Some people are reading some of the spec pages wrong. Some spec pages will list 16gb or 32 internal and then underneath it will say 32GB sd card, which means it will take up to 32GB card not that it comes with one. Actually I believe the phone will take a 64GB sdxc.

They stopped it on June 1st.

Are we able to root our sprint model with chainfire method or not since appears it is usable with the I9300 model only?

Earbuds?

I'm guessing the US variants aren't getting the earbuds that are included with the international variants?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:
I'm guessing it will probably work... but there are probably some different drivers that will make the kernel not function properly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ceelos09:
We'll get our own root method the day of release, at the very latest.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mr Ian B:
Thank you both. Hope Apple does not block release as after much reading, sampling pentile screen phones, I think I will be returning my lte Evo for the GS 3. Traded my Epic touch GS 2 for lte Evo but, there is something about htc that is making me have second thoughts and get the GS 3.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mercado79:
Sprint hasn't turned on any LTE sites yet. Not officially anyway. However, Baltimore is one of the first cities they've announced will have LTE this summer. Other than the leaked info found on the above site, there's not much more to go on.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mercado79:
Not necessarily $115. The early termination fee went up to $350 last fall. Prior to that, it was only $200 (or maybe $250) with a minimum off $50. You might be able to pay that or threaten to pay the etf and bounce. Might be worth a shot.

How are we reading this wrong

Galaxy S III

" 16GB and 32GB internal memory(ROM), 32GB MicroSD card "

EVO 4G LTE

" 16GB ROM/1 GB RAM supports up to 32GB micro SD "

The galaxy s iii supports up to a 64gb micro sd card, so it might be wrong on the website but were not READING it wrong.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smark72:
Wow. Okay.....interpreting it differently. That better?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] OneDeep:
Earlier I was trying to figure out if I wanted to upgrade early but now I'm thinking about spending $550 and buying outright. I could easily sell it later! Anybody else buying / brought full price?

It's called a website glitch not false advertisement, and yes sprint needs to fix their order status system but that doesn't mean we have to sue over it.

I really honestly thought i would get my phone today, Why did i get my hopes up so much, man. :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CapsLockKey:
I would like to think if there really were any sort of real delay, Sprint would pull the pre-order from their website. The 32GB are out of pre-order, but you can still get the 16 as of today.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fatboypup:
as a sprint subscriber for over 10 years im used to disappointment
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Magic Oreo:
It's released on the 21st, so realistically you should be hoping to receive it on that day. I was hoping to get my sgsIII and still am hoping to get it before the 21st, but I know the chances of that happening is becoming increasingly low, especially as other carriers delay their releases.
