[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
The gs3 and gnex are almost the same thing..cept the gnex is running a dual core TI OMAP processor and has a 5MP camera.

GS3 is running dual core S4 (unlocked version is using the Quad core Exynos) and has an 8MP camera.

The screen is one and the same on both phones.

The gnex is too old imo (considering if they stick to their release schedule and introduce a new nexus within the next month or so) and the S3 isn't that much of an improvement over the gnex.

I say, if you can wait, to look at the new LG eclipse phone. Its going to have a quadcore S4, 720p ips panel (it also has the green sub pixel lol) and adreno 320 graphics (which will be better than the sprint gs3 because it uses adreno 220 graphics).

But if LTE isn't coming to you anytime soon, go tmo

You also will want to mention that your "option" of clean android on the gs3 will be much more troublesome and buggy than the gnex which will have perfect ports those couple months early. :cool:

But nonetheless the gs3 is a Kick ass phone.

[Epic 4G General] latindor17:
GSIII supports CM10 right? Sure they might have to wait 1 or 2 months to get it compare to the Gnex but they will still get it and have better hardware with it and it won't be as buggy as you make it out to be after all, they have amazing devs. I mean just look at the Epic 4G, I am using CM10 as my daily driver with minimal bugs. And then there are people who actually like all the stuff Samsung has put on their phones.

One more thing, if you have the Gnex on sprint, then you contradicted your own statement because it took the sprint version a while to get Jellybean and the Nexus S4g took even longer to get ICS.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
That is because CDMA phones are no longer supported directly by Google and the updates have to go through the carriers. GSM are the only true Google phones now. But they will still get their updates a couple of months sooner than the GS3.

How long after we had our perfect ones? I understand it may "seem" bug less now but how long did that take? Umadbro? :cool:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sarichter:
I think I understand the logic behind this question, but I'm going to ask anyway because I want to see if there are any policy pitfalls before I take the plunge and purchase a One XL. This specifically is about AT&T and their LTE network.

I have an Inspire 4G on the AT&T network and I would like to buy the One XL and just transfer my SIM card (by either cutting mine down or by stopping by an AT&T store and purchasing one of the mini SIM cards). I don't want to have to sign up for a new contract because I have an old grandfathered data plan (unlimited) and I don't need the LTE network... I'm perfectly happy with the HSPDA speeds I've been receiving.

Has anyone done something similar or ran into any problems with attaining a new SIM card and not having to move to a new data plan?

On a side note, I was going to give my Inspire 4G to my girlfriend to replace her Iphone 3GS. I understand the SIM card is the same size and she doesn't have an Iphone specific plan... it's basic voice + unlimited data for smartphones. Anyone have issues with that type of transfer either?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Just go to an AT&T store, and they should give you a MicroSIM for free, as they usually do for account holders.

Further, you do want to add LTE to your account. You can do so and keep your unlimited data plan. You just have to be specific about telling them to do it, and make sure they do it right. Its not completely straighforward for them. It took them about 15 minutes to figure out how to do it, and the rep had to call his manager over. They technically need to put you on a "new" data plan, but it says "unlimited data with LTE" and its only available for grandfathered customers. Its really the same plan you were on before, just with LTE added. Its no extra fee, you keep unlimited data, and you get the smoking fast LTE speeds. Plus your cap before getting throttled goes up to 5 GB, versus 3 GB for non-LTE plans.

Whether you want to stay off contract, and just pay full retail for the phone, versus subsidized pricing and an additional 2 year commitment is up to you. But all I've mentioned above should be true in either case.

Your GF should be fine putting her SIM into your old Inspire.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MistaButters:
I bought a One X and was able to keep my unlimited data. Also, when you go to an LTE data plan the data throttle cap for unlimited plans goes from 3GB to 5GB. There is plenty of reason to add LTE to your unlimited plan unless you really don't want a contract.

Looks like all of that was already pointed out. So X2 it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
You don't need a new contract commitment to add LTE. Really there is no reason not to add LTE
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MistaButters:
That's true. My bad. Slip in my thought process.

Maybe, just maybe, if you truly wanted better battery life you wouldn't want LTE (since there is no way to disable it on the AT&T One X). Lol.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sarichter:
Awesome information! Thank you so much for your help. This isn't spelled out very well anywhere on AT&T's website. I avoided the 2 year commitment with a subsidized phone because they said I would lose my unlimited data plan. I didn't want to give that up with a new contract. However, if that information isn't correct... then I need to find a store with a competent salesperson. Anyone know if that's the case?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MistaButters:
You can call them or got into an AT&T store and they should know that you get to keep your unlimited. I bought mine through Best Buy and they can make sure unlimited stays right there, although I still called to verify after.

Anybody at the store tells you otherwise, then they are lying.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sarichter:
That was easy... they did this over the phone. No changes to my account, new phone, unlimited data, LTE... very sweet! Thanks for your help again!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nooomoto:
I have unlimited data. Got a new microsim and lte no problem. Only takes a few minutes.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Not having LTE on your account wouldn't make a difference in that case. The phone will still scan for LTE radios, whether its on our account or not.

Your welcome. Be sure to click the "Thanks" button for post you find helpful.

Looks like you've already taken care of it. But for others that may have the same question: Yeah, the salesperson needs to be pretty competent. But it seems to be getting a bit more common that people with grandfathered plans want to get LTE added to their accounts, as LTE is being launched in more and more markets, and their are more devices with LTE being offered by AT&T. So its not as bad as when they first started doing it. When the Vivid came out last year (the first LTE phone on AT&T?), I was reading lots of reports of AT&T reps accidentally taking unlimited data off people's plan, not even knowing/understanding what the customer was asking for, trying to tell them its not possible to keep unlimited data, etc.

Its gotten better since those days, but you still have to be careful its done right. Doing it in the store is good, the rep let me look on the screen to confirm the choices before finalizing each one. It did take a while for them to get it done right. The rep had to call his manager over, who had to sign onto an "older" system on his computer in order to do it, since my account was so old. But it got done, and at least they knew what I was talking about.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sarichter:
Talking about 'old'... I still had a 'blue' plan from the days before cingular! They had to upgrade my plan then because I was signed up for a legacy data plan that was a weird data+voice plan that wasn't carried over. I don't recall the reason but that was before I ever had a smartphone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Wow, that really is old. Mine is nowhere near close. I've only been on AT&T/Cingular for 11 years or so. And only had data for maybe 5 years.

Might have been some major shift in technology that required the change. My father-in-law was forced to switch cell phone plans way back in the day when they were turning off the analog system and going digital!
[HTC Sensation] GDcrazycommando:
Hello,

This is my first post here on xda and I have a problem that needs solved. I have a HTC Sensation XE with CWM 5.0.2.0 and i have the dreaded MD5 mismatch. I edited the folder name to Stock_Backup when I tried a new ROM, after flashing the rom I remembered that I forgot to install the gapps after I got stuck in a bootloop. I then tried to get back to stock and I got the words that have haunted me for the past 3 days MD5 mismatch. Of course I tried to rename the folder back to the time stamp, but that did not work. I tried editing the .MD5 file with Notepad++, that also did not work. I sorta need my phone as I use it for a number of different things, I also don't want to sent it to HTC for them to say I have to pay a fine out of my Nexus7 money jar. PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Hey guys I was wondering if anyone here knows where to get a cheap cellphone signal extender. i just got the GS3 and the signal is horrid. i knew my house is in a weak signal area but at least i was able to send texts and make calls. I am missing calls and unable to send texts on our 2 S3's. I see on their website it is sold for a lot of money ( at least for me) and i need to know what my options are.

any insight would be greatly appreciated.

thanks guys
[General Accessories] AntiAppel:
My girlfriend found one for me on craigslist for like $50. Only problem is its the 3g version so I can't pull 4g from it so it just collects dust for now.
[General Accessories] kidhudi:
thanks bro. i don't care about 3g or 4g i have a wifi router. i am only interested in cellphone signals in my home.i am smack dab between 3 towers. i have to walk outside to make or receive calls.
[General Accessories] kidhudi:
OK guys i bought a zboost cellphone signal extender. and it really works as described kinda. i screwed up and bought the metro version with a cheap indoor antenna that sticks to a window indoors instead of the one with the outdoor antenna.it is saying it works up to 1500 SQ FT. but i only get a really good signal like in a 6 ft radius of the base station. I wonder if i could hook it up to an old tv antenna that is up on my roof. it has the same type of connection. like a cable tv connection. anyone try this? i just don't want to burn the damn thing out.
[HTC Rezound] Nic2112:
Hey guys,

I just wanted to share this because it might help someone. I bought the extended battery directly from Verizon because I wanted more autonomy and at first it worked as expected.

Over time though, I noticed that my phone stuggled with 4G and would switch to 3G most of the time, and when it stayed on 4g, it wouldn't really work. The browser would start loading and then be stuck at 80% for ever.

With new kernels available, I figured I should give the regular battery a test drive to see how it performs and I was surprised to see that my 4G problems went away.

I had noticed that my extended battery cover was getting very loose and I'm guessing that the contacts for the antenna weren't working properly anymore because I had to remove that cover so many times to do a battery pull.

It also seems that the regular cover that came with the phone has a lot more metal circuits in the cover so perhaps the regular cover works as a better antenna than the extended battery cover.

In any case, it worked for me. I would get 1x or 3g on a good day at the office and right now I'm listening to Pandora over 4g with no network shortage. So if you do have network issues with the extended battery cover, see if the regular cover helps, it did for me.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
I think it is a hit or miss, my cover is great. Tight and works well.

Extended battery is great. Still creaks though.
[HTC Rezound] chrisjz:
I just decided to use my extended and I don't even get 4g. It was a cheap one so i could care less. Never had 4g in the area when I first bought it so never noticed it.
[HTC Rezound] famouscollin:
If your good with a sodering iron you can superglue and soder a piece of aluminum(tin foil or cut up pop can) on the inside of the extended back cover attached to the gold leads.. it'll strengthen the antenna. It worked previously in the past for me I just went back to using two stock batteries with an external lith-ion charger to keep me always up with at least one full battery no matter what.

sent from my s-off reZound rockin' viperRez Rom on global ICS firmware:)
[HTC Rezound] HowardZ:
I have always assumed the extended cover provides inferior reception of wifi and cell due to smaller antennas.

Over the years I never purchased Verizon's accessories like chargers. Verizon would buy the cheapest available that would work. Instead I purchased accessories made by the phone manufacturer.

On the other hand I got my Verizon extended battery and back free when I purchased this phone and it does seem to work okay. I assume the HTC cover works better.

I am currently using the standard htc cover cut for extended battery in a cut otterbox defender case.

Btw my rezound gets far more wifi signal bars at home compared to my Motorola Droid X.
[HTC Rezound] Damasterjj:
thanks, more reason for me to keep my standard cover & battery
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
Well, first of all, the extended battery Verizon sells is the HTC battery and cover...they just repackage it in a Verizon branded box. Second, the Verizon branded car charger is by far the best car charger I've ever had. We have three of them because we replaced all of our other ones that were complete junk.

Inthe extended battery cover, the antennas in it are the exact same size and shape, and are in the exact same locations. If you just glance at it, you might think otherwise, but if you take a second to study it, you can clearly see why it looks different. Instead of being the bare gold colored antenna wires, they are futher coated with some kind of protective coating that makes them the same color of black as the cover. However, if you hold them in the light and study them, you can see the shape of the antenna inside the coating, and it's the same as the standard.

Anecdotally, I can say that there is no difference in reception between the standard and extended battery cover for me, and I am in a situation where I would notice it. My house gets awful signal, barely one bar in most places, and switching to the extended battery didn't change that at all. If it actually got worse reception, then I would not get reception at home.
[HTC Rezound] johnwaynegacy:
I bought that Mugen slim extended battery, it is ever so slightly thicker and stops the creaking in the factory battery cover.
[HTC Rezound] HowardZ:
Strike, you are right!

There is some kind of black coating in the same areas where the standard cover has its antennas. These are not the exact same shape, but very close. Thanks for telling me about it.

Btw I stopped buying verizon chargers in my flip phone days. They did work, looked cheap, and cost more than buying genuine oem on the Internet . It is possible verizon chargers are better now.
[HTC Rezound] Antoine.WG:
I can attest to the standard battery cover not working any better than the extended one. At home, I seemingly get the same number of bars on WiFi, 3G and 4G and the same speeds with either cover. At work in the office, I still get spotty reception at best, with occasional drops to 1x or no data.
[HTC Rezound] Nic2112:
Perhaps I damaged my extended battery case then because I tried again and I definitely get way worse connection with it. I did take it off and put it back on a LOT and it's to the point where it's really loose so perhaps the phone connections don't make good contact with it.

I'm not too worried though because with the new kernels, the battery lasts longer and I can put a case on again without making my phone look like a brick.
[HTC Rezound] Rickinsav:
I'd like to see some pictures of that!
[HTC Rezound] Gig103:
I hope bumping an old thread is better than creating a new one.

I'm having awful 4G connectivity issues. My phone doesn't drop to 3G, the "Quick Settings" shows Mobile Network into "Connecting" then "On" then back to "Connecting" and etc. etc.

I have dropped my phone in the past, so could it be the case, but what about the SIM card? I'm still on GB, is that possibly the problem?

[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Didn't read much but I'm pretty sure the antennas in the ext bat cover are exactly the same as the standard one. I haven't had any reception issues, never have.

The first cover I got with the battery was loose and would halfway pop off on the side that doesn't have the charge port. I exchanged it at Verizon for one that fit pretty good but now it's creeks on that side and it's kind of annoying. I'd exchange it but I think it's past the return date or will be in a few days (if it's 30 days) actually I should check that because the store is a mile and a half from me lol. Ridiculous to me that a 50 dollar battery and cover has fit issues (Yay HTC -_-) . Not to mention how ugly and awkward it is in the hand. Ugh and it's annoying how it rocks on the table. But the battery life is awesome.. 2 days of use now with normal use for me on 4G lol...

Edit: also I cut one the back of one of my silicone cases out to fit the battery door. Feels better that way, went through two to get it just right... I actually prefer the girth and weight added. (heh)
