[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ssmaster:
The install button on this screen just won't work anymore. The cancel button works, the install button doesn't. I am rooted, tho I don't know if that makes a difference. I wiped dalvik, cache, and fixed permissions. Verizon 16GB Blue. It doesn't matter if it is from the Amazon Appstore or downloaded off the internet, it won't work. and Allow unknown sources is correctly checked off. I have over 8 GB of free space left.

Solution: OMG I used VOODOO OTA ROOTKEEPER TO UNROOT, I rebooted, AND it let me install......... Just remember Verizon doesn't want us to root....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Killa357:
That's terrible... I will never understand Verizon's issue with excessive control.

I know I'm going to get flamed for this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] androidaddict23:
I'm currently with Verizon I have the galaxy nexus but wish I stayed with t mobile or went with att,I had a g1 on release day ordered my nexus 1 when it was available for pre orders. purchased the nexus s, but returned it ASAP because of bugs and reboots. I'm not knocking Verizon, because their network is phenomenal compared to tmobile, but I had so much freedom with tmobile hardware wise the galaxy nexus old but superior to other phones because of its software in only saying that I will no longer purchased anything but a nexus.

I think the OP's point was GSM Nexus > CDMA Nexus, but he's stuck on a CDMA network. Thus, he was expecting to get flamed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crazy talk:
my GF has a LTE Nexus, and i have a GSM model. my phone is far more stable with regards to radio stability. her phone is a mess when it comes to LTE/CDMA handoffs.

i should probably check for a radio update for her phone...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eallan:
As an lte nexus owner, they all suck.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tgyberg:
^Mine doesn't! It's been solid all around since day 1. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drewmungus:
At this point in time the gsm Nexus is one of the best deals around. I've been kicking myself for a while now for going with verizon and not prepaid. $350 for the phone and $50 or less a month for service is crazy cheap compared to Verizon or any other postpaid.

The way google did everything, I suspect they planned on this phone hitting its stride 6-8 months after it's release. When the unsubsidized price dropped to reasonable levels, BAM they put it up for sale themselves and put Jellybean on it making the Nexus a superphone that is semi affordable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] I Am Marino:
I don't get plagued by all these radio issues people talk about.

Having a GSM Nexus isn't possible for me so I'm happy with my CDMA Nexus and I don't think any less or more of the GSM variant.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Turb0wned:
If only At&t would offer unlimited data I would never have this CDMA crap again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] llustig:
But they do have unlimited hspa+ data plan on ATT for unlocked GSM galaxy nexus... AKA dumb phone plan. ;)

I've been on it for awhile now, and it is solid.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephoneguyusa:
I second this :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3devious:
I have a VZW Galaxy Nexus and I agree with you guys even though I have no rational proof to support my claim.

Please indulge my anecdotal justification instead:

It feels like the GSM versions are better supported, maybe not in the dev community (it still seems like all of the development who provide updates also have GSM versions and I'm very curious to know if any of them use the VZW version as their main phone.) That may or may not be the case but CDMA support from manufacturers seems to be an afterthought at times. VZW doesn't even get some of the nicer phones sometimes. They really came through with getting us the original Droid though. That was a great phone. I haven't had a phone yet that I've liked as much as I liked the Droid when it was new.

I still have to point out that where I live my VZW Nexus still gets me more reliable service (even with its assinine bounces between 3g/LTE in my office) than anyone using a phone on any other carrier. Having a great flashy phone with the latest updates does little good if you can't get online. Sure my coworker gets 40MB/s up and down when he's at the north side of our building but he has to tether to me if he wants to get online where we spend most of the day.

If I spent a lot of time where I could get reliable GSM connections at the price I'm paying VZW with my discount, I'd switch in a heartbeat.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sean-El:
Continue..... Please. I am considering dropping Sprint in a month or tow and am looking for the best GSM plan. T-Mobile has it for $30 a month, 100 minutes, unlimited text, unlimited data but 5GB @ 4g speed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DevilStrider:
Are you talking about the $50 go plan?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Turb0wned:
No he stalking about activating a dumb phone using unlimited media net then putting your Sim card into an unlocked galaxy nexus. Problem with that is the day you want to get a phone that isn't unlocked you will be forced into whatever plan they are offering at the time.. You could get screwed and this happens the day they bring shared data.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harveydent:
He's talking about the $10 medianet plan
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike21pr:
Actually, I have the same plan and I registered my Galaxy Nexus's actual IMEI in my ATT account, and since it registers as an Unknown Manufacturer I had acces to the same Unlimited Data plan for 10.00 without a dumb phone. I believe its better this way since there isnt any difference in your registered IMEI with the acual IMEI in use (they can see if you are using a different phone even if they dont know the make/model) making it less likely for them to get suspicious of you

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gucci.Nexus:
Does anyone know of equipment out there that can help boost cell signal? Maybe an antenna that I can put near the window that will boost signal strength in my apartment?

I live in a basement apartment with barely any signal strength. I stand by the window to receive and make calls...even then it can be iffy. I usually leave my phone on the window sill so it can try to pick up incoming messages. All very frustrating.

I am on Telus network, in British Columbia, Canada. I have tried flashing different baseband radios and rils, which doesn't really make a difference.

I'm in no way shape or form guaranteeing it does or does not work with phones now a days, but back in 02 it helped boost the signal by 1 bar on my Nokia. worth looking into. Not expensive to try either.

Good luck

Turned my Evo on from a sleep and saw it "updating". Cancelled it immediately. Anyone have this happen? What do you think it could be?

Im on Mean ICS 2.4

As far as i know, PRL updates "help" you get a better signal. I just updated my PRL with no problem. Just gotta wait and see if helps with better signal.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Xalky:
I just upgraded to a sprint Galaxy s3 from the Epic 4g. The Epic was a great phone but it's been starting to do some wierd stuff, and I just needed an excuse to upgrade.:D I was very active over in the Epic 4g section, and ran many different roms etc...The epic is rooted, which probably makes no difference for the purpose here. or maybe it does. I want to be able to migrate my stuff over to the s3 as painlessly as possible.

1)Will the paid apps in the google store still be mine to use on the s3 as long as they're associated to my username and google account?

2)if my calender and contacts are synced to google, will those just migrate over easily?

3) what should i do now with the epic, while its still live, to make sure that I'm set to move everything over?

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Marcel
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GuestK00145:
1. The paid apps you bought are linked to the gmail account you used to purchase them, once you sign in go to the play store and redownload the apps :)

2. I'm not sure.

3. Keep it, for a just in case I F**ked up my phone need a spare to turn tricks for tips for another.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Xalky:
Well i planned on getting the $60 that sprint is offering for the Epic4g. It'll probably just sit in a drawer if i don't.:confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ricocollege:
Yes, yes and save the epic 4g for when you have to send your

gs3 in to have the cracked screen replaced.

Enjoy
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] peanut1596:
If you're gonna sell it, do it over eBay or craigslist. You can a lot more than 60 for it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Xalky:
you guys think I should save the Epic? Huh... I'm gonna give that some thought. All the other phones i ever kept i ended up giving away to somebody that needed a phone or they just sat in the drawer. This is the first phone that i could get a few bucks for. I keep the sprint insurance on my phones for repairs, it cost me $8 a month for the insurance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GuestK00145:
Did you buy your Gs3 from radio shack ? I know their gs3 were 150
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Xalky:
Thats only for new subscrbers. I'm getting the 32gb gs3 for $249 as an upgrade thru sprint online. I thought that wasn't too bad.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GuestK00145:
nah, it's not only for new subscribers. It's 50$ off any smartphone if you're qualify for an upgrade or plan to be a new subcriber.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thetony:
Its still gonna cost you quite a bit with the insurance. This phone cracks so terribly easy :/

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] v8bait:
I upgraded from the epic. If you were using cm9, as soon as you log in the phone will automatically set itself up exactly as it was before. I logged in, phone downloaded about 50 apps, it even restored my Wi-Fi settings by itself. Didn't expect that one. Only thing I lost was program data and I had to pair the Bluetooth. If you weren't on cm9, you can get app bak, save a list to the sd card in the epic, put it in the gs3 and restore like that too. Probably better to just go to the market and click the download history tab and stay fresh though.

I sold my epic for $120 on Craigslist, took two days to find a buyer.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Xalky:
The rom I'm on now is Touchwiz MTD. MarcussantRom v3. It's an older ROM but I liked it so much I just stuck with it. If I'm not mistaken, the TW roms should be recognized as stock by the market even though its MTD. I aways recieved app updates , with no problems.

Didn't they say the same thing about the Epic 4g screens cracking easily? I never had a problem with that screen cracking...and it certainly wasn't from a lack of abuse. I'm a contractor, I wear my phone on my hip all day, climbing ladders, banging into stuff, dropping it, it's encased in a SEIDIO armor though.

I really loved the Epic 4g and Android OS, which is why i wanted a next gen Samsung Galaxy. Plus the learning curve should be next to nil because they are very similar except for speed improvements. I might miss the slide out keyboard though, fingers crossed.:fingers-crossed:

The phone should be here today..

Another Question: Wheres the sprint Samsung Galaxy s3 developers thread and the rooting info for the sprint s3? This forum is gigantic, it's easy to get lost in the weeds here!

Marcel
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ThC23:
Everything saved to your Google account will be restore to the new phone or any phone you log into.

Calendar, contacts and apps will have to get downloaded again.

If you have titanium Backup you can move the folder to the S3 and you can restore the apps w/data like that.

Only problem is if you were using a GB rom than you my have problems with them. Just un install and install again.

Good luck.

Oh, yeah! Sell the phone. No need for it. Unless you want a back up just in case.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Xalky:
What about text messages? I have some texts that I save for business that I would like to transfer over. I don't think those can be synced over to google but maybe i can save them to the epic sd card and move the file over to the galaxy if I knew which one to move?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iTbagdUrMac:
There are many free apps in the play store that can save and restore those texts and mms. I use mybackup root. Works great. I have also used sms backup and restore.

I also came from the epic. My screen finally broke or I wouldn't have switched. I definitely miss the kb. You lose so much screen space when the on screen kb is up. It was so easy to slide the kb open and start doing something. If a new high-end slider rears it's head I will scoop it up immediately.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GuestK00145:
On the play store seach for " sms backup & restore" I'm pretty it'll be useful to you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Xalky:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Xalky:
One more question??

Visual Voicemails, vvm, how do i get those to transfer over?

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sleepy13909:
1- yes they still yours me personally I use my backup pro to do a complete back up from another phone I did this with my S2 to my S3 works great hope this helps

2- yes your contacts, calendar stay the same

3-keep it or sell it on ebay or something
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Xalky:
Everything worked out great. I didn't lose a thing. The only thing i lost was a few old VVM voicemails which were not that important. The SMS backup app worked great to reload the texts back into the new phone. I did reinstall all the apps from the market since i wanted a fresh install. The market not only had all my paid apps listed but also every app free app I had downloaded in the past.

It worked out great!

The phone is now rooted and awaiting custom ROMS.

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] tony yayo:
So I find out today that I haven't really been using "america's fastest 4g network". Apparently my old Basic Android data plan or whatever it's called, doesn't give me full 4g speed. I've only been getting HALF of what I could be getting. This wouldn't bother me so much if I wasn't paying $30 bucks a month for this when the 2gb unlimited plan (I know, sounds funny, huh? 2gb UNLIMITED) is only $20. Even when I purchased my GS3, no one told me, "Hey, you know, you're not getting the full advantage of the speeds your phone is capable of." I guess they'd rather I spend the extra $10 a month and use less bandwidth at the same time. Why not, huh?

So my question is two-fold. First, is it possible those of you who claim to get sloooow dl's ALSO are on this old data plan and THAT's why it's so slow for them? And second, why didn't anyone tell me the whole time I had to deal with these schmucks for the last two weeks, that I needed a different data plan to achieve the full potential of the phone? Why don't they advise people with this older data plan that the speeds are not the same as the newer plans? They definitely never advertised the new plans as being faster than the older one's so how the hell was I ever supposed to know?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] cincygeek:
Have you ran a speed test? If not get the app from the play store and then go into the T-Mobile store and ask them what is up.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Snook321:
Speeds are fine over here
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] tony yayo:
Of course I did, how else do you think I know? I've already asked and been told that my plan doesn't support the speeds. I was getting the exact same speeds in multiple places, as I did with my Sensation so I know this is true. I did change my plan, but apparently, it won't take effect until my next billing cycle, which seems stupid to me but whatever. I just don't understand why they've never tried to push a better, possibly more expensive, data plan?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] tony yayo:
What data plan do you have?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Paging Dr B:
I'm using T-Mo's old Android data plan and i'm getting Faux G speeds of 7-13Mbs. You don't need to upgrade your plan to get faster speeds. I do believe they have to provision the device for use of their 42Mb service but that should have been done when they activated your new sim card. Do you know which plan you had before?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] chamberc:
T-Mobile's enhanced backhaul 3G service isn't that much faster in real use than normal 3G. Important to realize Tmobile doesn't have a 4G network, just an enhanced 3G one.

I have a Dell Streak 7 (cell now turned off) that barely outpaced their normal 3G.

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Chicago281:
Depending on where you live (how far away from the nearest tower) your reception is going to be impacted differently than others. I myself live in Arlington Heights which is about 25-30 minute outside of Chicago.

Here's what I get on T-Mobile with my GS3. Speeds for me are perfect. Remember T-Mobile doesn't have true LTE 4G. They use HSPA+ which is like 3.5G.

I've been curious on apps like that. Is it just a placebo app or does it actually work? Is there any scientific proof to back this app up?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] tony yayo:
Yeah, you have the plan they say I need. That or the 5gb plan, but I have the old $30 data plan that i guess has the 5gb threshold. One of the mods in the TMO forum told me my plan is fine. So why you are getting double the speeds I'm getting, in the same exact town? So I ended up calling tech support and she tried to do something but I swear whatever she did, my speeds are actually a tad slower now.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] tony yayo:
So i guess its just a bad signal at home. I live by Johnnies Beef and get terrible speeds. Went to Olive Garden by Woodfield mall last night and was pullin in over 20mbps. Crazy how a couple miles makes such a huge difference.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] kulzboy:
Hold on. When you upgraded your phone, did they require you to upgrade your plan also? I hardly use over 2gb a month and I'd like to keep it that way, not some gimmick 5gb for $30
