There is, at least in a happy parallel universe where radio firmware is open-source and it's illegal to sell phones with locked bootloaders. It's called the Motorola Photon. The Photon's restrictions are all totally imposed by software and business policy. There's no technical reason why a Sprint Photon couldn't fail-over to HSPA+ and roam on AT&T, besides the fact that Sprint had Qualcomm program the radio modem's firmware so it refused to do it.

Dang you must've had unlimited why would you leave that
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DAvid_B:
You don't know what you're talking about.

Comcast backhaul for Sprint is fiber. The "OTN" where it terminates has unlimited generator backup that will run for days before needing refueled.

Even if it where on the HFC network, Comcast has tens of thousands of portable generators, any DOCSIS outage to a commercial customer with the proper service level would be hours, not "go dark, and stays away".
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] QWIKSTRIKE:
By that time Network vision should be in most places, and to leave would be unwise, but that's your choice. All I can say is all of you whiners need to just cancel and go. Verizon is the only place worth going to if you leave. AT&T will be on 2g edge network until 2017. By then Sprint and Verizon will be the only true 4g carriers in the world. BY 2014 Sprint will have the best network bar none. Do your research before saying something stupid as a reply!

This guy has been crying like a sissy so long that I am just tired of reading his bull. Leave and stay gone and go to your new carrier and talk bad about Sprint to the people that will love to hear what you have to say!

Sprint has holes in the network vision layout but it is making big progress. AT&T sucks balls period, and I had them before they were AT&T back in 1989 until AT&T took over in the early 1990's. When Sprint opened the doors the first month I bailed AT&T and will never go back. Talk about dropped called and network issues....WTF I was dropping calls left and right. Today my sister's iPhone is always dropping calls. They were nominated the carrier with the most dropped calls just recently. Sprint will have HD voice and VOIP by 2014 covering all of America. Verizon will be Sprints only competitor in that time frame to offer VOIP that will blanket across the U.S., and only Sprint will have HD voice by then.

AT&T will be on 2g edge and LTE until 2017 while Sprint will be totally 4G. So go ahead and leave but wait until AT&T starts switching from 2g to 3g then on to 4g in the nest 4 years. Sprint is in a good position right now, and by 2013 most people will see this!

Thank you Nostradamus for your crystal ball prediction...wtf would you know what's down the road for all carries?? Nothing, that's the thing, you just speculate just like the rest of some of these xda wiseasses thinking they know everything that's going to happen in the smartphone industry. You call people that complain about service and coverage whiners? This a thread is in the general section talking about sprint's bad service, wtf you think you're gonna talk about??! If you've already figured everything out, then you need to take your wisdom somewhere else and earn yourself some thank you points..lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bitbang3r:
Frankly, *every* carrier's marketing claims are selective half-truths and bull****.

T-mobile's problem isn't lack of LTE, it's "feast-or-famine" coverage that's mostly excellent and fast in their primary markets, but approaches "dreadful" or "nonexistent" the moment you're 10+ miles away from the nearest Interstate in most parts of "fly-over America". Ignore the marketing departments, look only at pure technical merit, and T-mobile is one of the best carriers for mobile data if you only care about using your phone in a big city.

Verizon has more "Markets" with LTE than AT&T, but the coverage area in the smallest half of them basically consists of the airport. In contrast, the markets where AT&T officially has LTE have practically every nook & cranny saturated with coverage.

Unlike Verizon, AT&T has no need to triage markets and prioritize sparse-but-widespread coverage. Their 3G isn't blazing (~4-6mbit/sec), but it's roughly DOUBLE what Verizon's EVDO customers see under the BEST conditions... roughly 2mbit/sec. LTE is a solid step up for them, but it's not a matter of life-or-death survival for them over the next 2 years.

Like Sprint, Verizon has EVDO just about everywhere in their service footprint, including many rural places where AT&T has only 153kbit/sec EDGE. And yes, AT&T will have EDGE in some places until 2017, and Sprint & Verizon will be 100% LTE. Whoopee. Sprint & Verizon won't have any service *at all* in most of the areas where EDGE is AT&T's *only* service.

Sprint having LTE coverage across 100% of America? (rotflmao). So, when is Sprint's magic LTE satellite constellation going up? Because that's the ONLY way you're going to see LTE 100 miles inland from Valdez, Alaska or in the middle of the Nevada desert. 100% of Sprint's network might be LTE then, but it sure as hell won't come anywhere close to covering even 10% of the US landmass.

Any way you slice it, though, somebody who owns a LTE phone on Sprint right now is going to experience what's objectively the worst, slowest, and least-reliable data service in America for the next year or two. When they're done, Sprint might be OK. Right now, this minute, though, Sprint just sucks. Potential for future improvement doesn't mean a thing when you're trying to do something online TODAY, and can't.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] QWIKSTRIKE:
I get my information from research and shared inside info from sites like S4GRU genius...WTF you are way too smart for me. How about getting off your ass, and educating yourself before making stupid remarks. Even better if half the people complaining researched what was going on before they bought a smart phone they would be educated about whats happening like me, rather than making jack ass remarks like yours. We can go at it all day but I see that I have the edge against a numb nut like you!.

Go to the page carriers have listed fo their stock report and you will find that most of this information is there that I referenced as well for the concerned investor or consumer!;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pacifik.fuzion:
And for all your research and knowledge, underneath it all.....you're just a douchebag with a keyboard. Your helping absolutely no one in this thread with your crappy attitude and lack of respect for other people's opinions. USELESS.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] QWIKSTRIKE:
That makes both of us a douche bag then doesn't it you fn gay turd! I have passed more factual information in this thread for those that can get past making ignorant emotional out burst like yours. A scum bucket like you calling me a douche bag is flattering. I bet a mental midget like you tatoo'd that on the back of your hand so that you can spell that on command. lol How about using your brain to offer more than the sh*t you have been throwing against the wall so far. Point out one thing that you said in this thread that was a fact besides "Sprint's service sucks". I bet your brain is starting to heat up and smoke from this question. I bet if I looked over at the rock you live under the sky looks like the 4th of July from all of these thoughts that you have been posting! ROFL:rolleyes::cool:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] malveck:
I just hate that because my phone is a 4g phone, I have to pay an extra $10 even though where I live (Phoenix) doesn't have 4g.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] QWIKSTRIKE:
I agree with you here, but you are paying for unlimited data whether it be 3g or 4g if you have a 4g phone. The only way to avoid data cost is to buy a feature phone. The problem is that carriers don't offer phones like the SG III as a feature phone. So in essence you have to decide to buy a smart phone with out 4g coverage or buy an old Wimax phone if there is coverage, or just buy the most current phone only after researching if it makes sense.

I had a Wimax Photon 4g that was up for renewal in July, but to wait until October for 4g to roll out would have pushed my 2014 upgrade later in that year instead of early. For me upgrading to LTE was a no brain-er since "I researched" when LTE would be offered in NYC. I also was getting 1.9 mbs with my Photon in some areas. Getting faster 3g speeds helped me decide to get the SG III once I tested the antenna reception against my Photon. Every where that I had a weak signal with my Photon the SG III performed as good as my Photon.

The only thing that I left up to chance is the LTE launch date which was slated to be any where from late July to October. Now I hear it may be November, but I am ok with that!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mushmaster:
Sprint service definitely leaves a bunch to be desired, but they are investing in their infrastructure and I think it's reasonable to expect improvements. Sometimes I get frustrated by their hit or miss coverage, but it fades when I get my monthly bill.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Duce HD2:
The good thing at least is that I get a decent corporate discount from my work... Saves me a few bucks. Who knows, maybe one day the 4G icon will appear too..:p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] os2baba:
That's a nice summation of the state of affairs. Of course we have a much larger land mass as a country, but for the kind of coverage we are getting, seems to me that we are paying significantly more than Europe or S. Korea or Australia.

Fortunately I'm in Atlanta and I have LTE. But the speeds are at best - okay. 6 Mbps/10 Mbps and once 20 Mbps. The last was good, but that was just once. Compared to that, my friend's Galaxy Nexus on T-Mobile regularly clocks 16 Mbps. But Verizon's LTE is jaw droppingly fast. The Thunderbolt on Verizon simply flies. Everything is instantaneous. I got the same feeling using that phone that I got 14 years ago switching from dial up to DSL!

I guess I was expecting that Sprint's LTE network, since it's brand new, would (apart from teething trouble - that I don't think they are having in Atlanta), would be as fast as Verizon. From that perspective, I'm disappointed. But over all, I'm very happy with the S3 on Sprint. As someone else posted - especially when I see the bill! My wife's S2 alternates between 4G and 3G, but she doesn't care about the speed. It's plenty fast for her needs.

i have one simple argument.. ..att supported cispa,protectip and has tried numerous other times to violate network neutrality. read history and not to long ago they were a monopoly. yes others have done shady doings like vzw,google, comcast but att always is the bleeding edge of unethical business behavior. even if they were 30dollars cheaper for the exact same plan and had better phones I'll never give them a cent

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maxypy:
In order to store your SMS on the cloud (on your gmail account precisely), you can use "SMS Backup +"

This is a free app, you just have to log into your gmail account and your SMS will be automatically saved on gmail. You can read them from any device connected to internet and you can also restore them on any android phone.

If you prefer to save them on your microSD card or in your internal storage, Titanium Backup Pro can do that easily.

Hope I helped ;)

Also, if your phone is rooted you can use titanium backup which can backup sms to an xml file and can later be restored to any sms application.

I don't have the keybord, i've just buy the tablet itself.
