[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Shibby87:
So I've decdied to make the switch to sprint and boycott these scammers! VZW just throttled my connection because I reached 1gb in data, half of my shared data. something a Verizon rep swore they never practice unlike Sprint. I asked a Sprint rep and she mentioned they don't charge for overages like Big Red, they notify you and lower your speeds.

Can anyone else confirm that Sprint throttles coconnections and not just for overages? I'd like a little more info before I switch over. Thanks in advance.

I dont think sprint 3g speeds are throttlable. :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Sephirothvfc:
Sprint does not throttle. At one point I used about 20+ GB a month for 3 months and never got throttled. Same on verizon before I gave my line to my gf. I would use about 80+ GB a month for 9 months and I was never told anything
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] FrameCityJackal:
Yea if they even attempt to throttle it that means you're watching waaaaaay too much porn or you're watching way too much HD porn lol :crying:

They can't throttle 0.5kbps lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Shibby87:
It was BitTorrent beta that got me downloading stock touchwiz, still less than half the 2gb/mo.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JohnM:
Yeah, Verizon has some really scumbaggy business practices as I've seen before. They will do anything legal to be able to get the most of your money.

Sprint doesn't do most of the crap that VZW does. There have been 0 documented cases of someone being throttled, even when this one guy reached 1TB of data on 4G, all they did was send him a letter asking him to stop. I usually go around 20-50GB on 3G per month and I haven't been throttled or anything.

One thing to watch out for is that speeds can be slow - Depending on where you live, you could be getting either 200kbps or 2000kbps.. A lot of markets are undergoing backhaul increase and other network vision enhancements. During this period, a lot of places can get to really low speeds. After it, however, there will probably be a consistent 1000-2000kbps everywhere on 3G.

Not to mention that they also plan to cover most of their existing 3G places with LTE by the end of 2014 so you won't have to care about speed after 2014 - It'll always be consistent LTE speeds.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] a454nova:
Where are you located at? If you are in a good Sprint area or even better... a new LTE area... you should have switched yesterday. But I'd read into more so you not disappointed. Sprint is far better on a lot of things. But 3G speeds can be slow at times. I am a big fan of theirs.

My overall experience.

1. Sprint

2. T-Mobile

3. Verizon

4. ... any others...

5. AT&T

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bp328i:
I just switch two weeks ago from Verizon to Sprint because of the crap Verizon is doing.

I will say this Verizon's network and data speeds smoke Sprint's but I'm not willing to deal with Verizon's BS anymore.

I have found some places I go it takes longer for a web page to load on Sprint but nothing I can't deal with.

I even paid Verizon almost $1100.00 in ETF's for my 5 lines just to get away from them.

All in all I'm good with Sprint and so far happy I made the switch.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MadFlava:
Sprint would need faster data speeds to be able to actually throttle them. As it is now, its just a slight step above a 56k modem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Neil Fruit:
I'm in pretty much the same boat as bp328i. I moved from VZ to Sprint just about a month ago because of all the "Share Everything" garbage at VZ. I am fortunate in that I live near Chicago and although they have not officially rolled out 4G they are already in the testing phase so I get 4GLTE about 90% of the time. When it is up, it is great, but there are some significant "holes" in their coverage. I guess, at least while I'm here in my local area, I am pleased with Sprint and its unlimited data, etc. So I'm not sorry that I made the move.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
That's the one thing Sprint has going for them, no BS. When they say unlimited, they mean it. As stated, totally depends on your area if you can actually use it or not. I'm around Chicago, so 3G speeds are pretty horrid, but obviously get better the further out from the city you get.

The only remaining question is if Sprint will retain unlimited data once they have good LTE coverage. IMO, that's the only thing that will keep people with them. It's the single selling point they have over everyone else. If they get rid of it, they don't have the network VZW has, so people will jump ship I'm sure.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Neil Fruit:
I would most likely "jump ship" back to VZ. You can't argue with their coverage. Loved their anti-iPhone campaign: "There's a 'map' for that."
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bp328i:
I'm with you on this, if Sprint gets rid of unlimited I'll be right back to Verizon. If my only choice is a limited data plan I'll might as well have the best coverage.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] boomerbubba:
I think Sprint will retain its unlimited smartphone plans. But they may well crack down harder on unauthorized tethering, which is a violation of the current terms. (I hope they do.) I'll bet that since Verizon and AT&T have moved to close down their unlimited plans, the tethering pirates have migrated even more to Sprint to take advantage of the last remaining opportunity. Enforcing the contract better against abuse can keep unlimited smartphone contracts viable, and I understand the new network will provide better tools for detecting it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Shibby87:
Thx guys, going with Sprint. I'm already 3/4 up on my data for this month (Easytether PRO) and unlimited with Sprint is just about as much as 2GB w/VZW.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] IAmSixNine:
The BitTorrent is what got you throttled on Verizon.

All the major carriers have a clause in their contracts that look for certain data apps, torrents are one of them. IF they see you using one you can get a nasty letter, or throttled..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
I hope Sprint looks for the same thing then. I don't have a problem with people who tether now and again when in a bind, but I'm not a fan of those who tether just because they can and abuse the crap out of it. If that keeps happening, Sprint will ditch their unlimited data too, or worse, lock/encrypt bootloaders so it's tougher to root your phone and get free tethering.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] raiderep:
I can vouch for this. On sprint I went three months in a row with 30gb+ usage(tethering wimax and torrenting). After the third month I got a call and they said if I didn't stop torrenting (against tos) they would have to cancel my service. However they never mentioned tethering, so I said I wasn't aware that torrenting was not allowed and stopped and no issues since. Sprint is best as long as it stays unlimited.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Shibby87:
Agreed, with Verizon, I was usually within 1-5GB depending on WiFi, I rarely exceeded 5GB, and the first time I used BitTorrent was for stock touchwiz. Those of us who use hotspot/tethering daily, Sprint seems most logical.

Technically, Verizon has no right to block 3rd party tethering apps and actually just paid out $1.25 million for trying to

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Shibby87:
Guys, just got off the phone with Verizon to transfer my number to Sprint, they asked why, I told them I was dissatisfied with their share packages and viola, they added my old unlimited plan back, strait 4G LTE, no sharing. Just thought I'd share my mediocre victory with Verizon. If you have VZW and hate their share packages, you can try telling Verizon your swiching to Sprint and see if they let you into their unlimited grandfathered data plans :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
This is certainly good to know, but I'm assuming you'll still be held to the standards at next update, about not being able to keep it unless you buy a phone off-contract.

Verizon will get theirs one way or another, and I'll bet starting this fall or next spring, their top of the line phones, will run in the $800-900 range simply to deter people from doing just this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
I think it's ethical to tether+torrent as long as you use less than 5-10GB per month.

Even if they do crack down on torrenting/tethering, I'm still ahead of the game. lol. I use a VPN for torrenting so AFAIK they can't tell I'm torrenting since they don't see P2P - All they see is back and forth with the VPN.

As for tethering, as long as the user agent in all your tethered devices is mobile, they can't tell if you're tethering.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bonebeatz1234:
Don't do it stay clear of Sprint even when throttled with Verizon it's faster than Sprint full bars go to tmobile or at&t . This has been the worse experience i ever had from a phone carrier. I'm going back to tmobile in two months and don't miss these 3g speeds. I left tmobile because they don't have a great selection of phones but Sprint made me realize having good internet speeds beat a great phone anyday. I can't believe i thought 5mbps download speed was just ok i would never regret those speeds again. I feel like i have a Lamborghini with no engine .People say it's because there doing upgrades well explain the four previous years that my girlfriend had sprint and got the same speeds . They fooled me telling me lte was coming next month two months later nothing smdh.

Don't waste your time convincing him. This thread is old and the OP and many of us are happy with Sprint.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kenneu:
If Sprint throttled my current 3G connection, I'd actually have to PROVIDE them bandwidth. My connection in Round Rock, Texas is so slow that it is essentially zero. Supposedly LTE is being turned on soon here... I sure hope so as my speed is intolerable. That said, it's cheap as I'm on a good plan. I basically have 3 smartphones and unlimited everything. I have handset protection on all devices. TT&L out the door is just a little under $200 each month.

Note that Sprint has a "transfer credit" right now.... look into it and it will make the switch cheap. (or net profit)

I can't seem to copy and paste texts anymore on my S3. Here's what happens:

Long press on text I want to copy

Text automatically highlighted and I get the buttons up top

I pressed the copy button and the top menu closed

In another text field, I do a long press

Intead of the Paste popup button, I get a Clipboard popup button that doesn't do anything when I press it

Any idea how I can fix this?

Thanks in advance

Sometimes I have to press the copy button twice and make sure it said text copied.

Same here, crashes any app in which I try to copy/paste from. Actually crashes during the copy portion in any app.

Running stock, ICS, on Verizon, how is this not a bigger deal? I plan on posting a video of the issue later.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RiPpeR_dUdE:
What app are you trying to do this from? Each may have their own options, but the stock email is one I'll use as an example.

- Long press text (as you mentioned)

- Select text, ensure you choose the clipboard icon, at this point I do get the message "copied to clipboard"

- Choose another app, or choose to create a new email, etc..... long press and you should get the "paste" and "clipboard" option.... that's what I get anyways.

I also tested on the stock browser and works fine. Did you install any MOD's, etc?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drock212:
I've noticed the same thing on my SGS3 (AT&T) started couple of weeks ago maybe... I can only assume it happened due to an app being updated. I'm not able to copy from website to text. If I try and copy from text app (stock) it crashes... Wonder what could have caused this.

Fix for ROOTED users...

"1. boot recovery (CWM) > advanced > wipe cache

2. reboot phone > Root Explorer > delete /data/clipbord/*

3. reboot recovery again > advanved > fix permissions

4. reboot phone > it's fine"

Found this on Phandroid. But haven't found a fix for non-root. There is also another thread on here somewhere about this issue(merge possibly?)

OMG thank you soo much. I had this problem before and the only solution I found at this time was to backup everything with Titanium, than do a factory reset, and finaly restore everything. It worked but it was a real pain in the a**.

I'm so glad there is a 60 sec solution.

By the way I did it in a different order to be faster and it worked :

1. Delete everything in folder /data/clipboard/

2. Reboot recovery, wipe cash

3. Stay in recovery --> advance -->fix permission

4. Reboot and enjoy copy/paste again

Again thank you.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] accrews2001:
Ditto on having this issue. Glad there's a solution if rooted. Wish they would send an update to fix it for those not rooted. Factory reset is ridiculous. I'm not going to do that every 2 months, which is now long I've had the gs3 (obviously this will happen again if the root cause isn't fixed)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jaamgans:
This is temporary - it will have to be done again when the cache fills up again.

Similarly there is a temporary solution for non-rooted phones - factory restore is supposed to provide the same solution, just a bit more time consuming with having to restore everything.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jbizz:
Yeah... I went round and round with Samsung support on this. The best they told me is to back up everything and factory reset. Which is rubbish. I asked if Kies backed up data and they said you have to get a third party app. Basically saying... you have to void the warranty and root.

So... I rooted. Bam... JB!

I've got JB, I've done a factory reset and the problem exists. I long-press and put some text in the clipboard, and after doing this 3-10 times my phone reboots. (This is with a UK sim free phone, but I've read reports of this from various locations).

Guys I use HTC Explorer/pico... I wanted to know that if a front cam can be installed in our device as it certainly lacks one...and if it can't be installed then can the back camera be used for video calling??
[General Questions and Answers] KingAmir:
-

From a hardware point of view it would be pretty easy to install a front facing camera. All you would then have to do would be develop some housing (casing) for it. But you would need to create a rom with or add to your current rom, coding that allows the use of the camera. Like a driver.

In short, it's a mission creating a front facing camera. I would suggest updating.

Same issue with my xperia x8 though. I might get a samsung nexus or s3. Also about the back camera thing, you could easily use this for video calling but it would be very inconvenient to video call someone if you could not see them. :D

Sorry if this is not what you wanted. Please thank me if you appreciate it.

Just how many hard bricks did we get with the leak? So if we hard brick will we be moved on to a different phone. Once my X10 finally bit the dust after 1000's of flashes they replaced it with the atrix 2. I will have had this phone 1/2 as long.

It is not available on the web site when i shop for phones or log in to upgrade. About the pdf. What kind of conspiracy would make fake pdfs and send them to people and businesses in my line of work. I was only bringing up a talking point. No need to look behind the curtain on this one. Thanks for your input though.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Yeah this has been seen lately, it is actually harder and harder to get an A2 right now. My store told me that they have 10 in stock and when they run out that is it. I was told that they tend to exchange lower end phones for the A2 up until the end of the month they will continue this practice, For people that have insurance through AT&T. If you bork your phone after the end of the month you will get whatever the next "cheap" replacement is. I was told they will won't exchange the A2 for the Atrix HD, unless the customer really complains.

I personally do not want the Atrix HD, they are locked down worse than we are.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Scottyfer:
Is it the same for a warranty replacement? I've been considering it due to a dead pixel, but if they're gonna stick me with some crappy pantech, I think I'll pass.

only after all stock of new and refub have run out, only new sales are stopped after the 31st... and warranty replacements are 99% of the time refurbs.... heck look the Atrix 4G gang was still getting replacements up until Jan or Feb this year, before they ran out, and started giving out the Atrix2 as replacements for the Atrix 4G.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Scottyfer:
How many more OG's were there though? From what I've seen it was way more popular, so in theory there should have been more replacements for them? Let me know if I'm completely off base here.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
No, you are correct, but that does not mean that they are going just run out this month, right after the announcement. It just means no more new sales, and any "new" phones that stores have will go to repair centers, or to the main repair center, and they will be used as replacements until they run out... all the 3rd party insurance companies are already giving other phones for replacements since "they" can not get the A2s through their channels any longer.
