[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackviper71:
Add me to the list. Really want another nexus but the s3 with aokp is really good. Might be worth waiting on actual real world usage reviews before taking the plunge.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DXP2:
No!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoldr:
Not sure why you would? I have the ATT S3 with AOKP. LTE + SD Card + fast updates from our awesome devs. Its a nice phone, but why would you get it if you have an s3? What difference is the processor gonna make unless you play heavy games.

If you like the on screen buttons you can disable home + capacitive on your S3 and have the nexus style on screen buttons with a custom rom. And the s3 has a bigger screen.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rumthin:
Unfortunately, Nexus devices have always been about compromise, so you just have to ask yourself two things.

1. Do you need LTE?

2. Do you need more than 16gb of storage?

If you answered NO to both of these questions, preorder one with the rest of us!

Im thinking about selling my att sgs2 on clist...it has minor scratches...im thinking I can pull 300 for an unlocked no contract used phone since they cost 200 with a 2 year contract..am I asking too much?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoldr:
I sold my sgs2 skyrocket for 250 like 4 months ago. Really depends on who you get but idk.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sher The Love:
Sitting on these forums trying to make the same decision. I turned off lte on my gs3 to see if I could manage and realized my lte connection was terrible where I live and only slightly better where I work compared to att HSPA+

Every aosp ROM I install has a volume bug (apperantly happens in some phones and not others) otherwise I'd be on it now.

Direct updates would be awesome. I'm on contract for another 1.5 years with att, so I'm not saving money going to straight talk without paying an etf.

I've realized I only use 600mb or my 3gb plan, so using the cloud won't be a big deal.

I have a feeling like I'll get the nexus 4 and then need LTE or the extra space and completely regret my decision.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markysd:
as for me i like to use the device for a bit and see it in person before i keep/sell/return

i love my GS3 im keeping it..will get the N4.. when the time comes ill give my GS3 to my mom/dad/sis:D

such great phones.. plus you will get lots of dev support on N4
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwahchees:
The storage is a bit of a problem, seeing as I do like to have lots of stuff. But 16GB's gonna be enough. 5GB Music, 3GB Apps, 2GB OS = 6 still free :P.

As for LTE, I barely use it because of my data cap and the horrible battery drain it has.

As for the processor, I like to future proof my device, and with Quad Core A-15's and the Adreno 320, this thing is gonna be a beast.

I do love the design, black on black with the glass finish.

Sadly you're calculation is wrong...

I've got a 16GB INTL. S3 and have like 11.25 Gb available.

I guess because of stock android you'll probably have around 13gb
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DonDizzurp:
and it continues........

1. who cares.. honestly.. who really gives a ****..

2. people arent too happy about this, i can see why, but 16gb is something that can easily be adjusted to

3. lol youre taking like half an inch off the bottom, not a big deal at all..

in my opinion, for the price and the "nexus" tag, this phone is more than worth it. it destroys the s3 and oneX

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IceCode979:
My contract will end in 4 months so no doubt i'm getting the N4. I just want to know one thing, are those touchscreen buttons always on?

For example, if watching a movie, playing games or browsing the internet, do they move away to have more display estate?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theoneofgod:
Yes.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IceCode979:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2LoT:
If I am on the market for a new phone. I have a choice between a brand new Nexus4 $379 and a used GS3 for $450. The two phones are roughly comparable. I would make the shocking choice of going for the brand new AND cheaper.

Not worth selling the galaxy s 3 over the N4. Not LTE , no SD card & no removable battery
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muddyblues6392:
Personally I don't need 32gb of storage. LTE is a luxury not a need. And a removable battery for??? But to everyone thier own, both phones are awesome and it all comes down to personal preference.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ajfink:
If you're happy with it, why? Not a huge upgrade from the international version, and since it has a good dev community updates shouldn't take too long.

But, your call.

Sent from my bootloader-locked MB865.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwahchees:
I figured the soft key buttons can be fixed with Paranoid Android, where I'll have tablet mode on.

While the LTE issue, using it on the S3 rips the battery to shreds, so I don't bother.

Removable battery and SD Cards are such big plus's, but then again it's a glass both front and back, and beautiful. Compared to Samsung Plastic.

So it's a trade off, plus $80 for my anniversary w/ my girlfriend ain't too bad either :P
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muddyblues6392:
I agree. Sd card slot would be a good thing but I can see why they wouldn't include one. Either way you can't go wrong. Only thing I can't get quite over is the screen on the GS3. My HOX is the best screen I've used in quite a while. And the fact that it's plastic just really kills the GS3 for me. But again its all about trade off. But if it helps I'm selling my HOX for a nexus 4 :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VictorNYC:
It's all about the butterfly's effect for me ! I'll explain: I don't remember being this exited about a phone since the Sensation 4G witch I still think it was one of the best phones ever made but stupid me I decided to "upgrade" to a GS2 that hated the day after I purchased it but hey I figure too late now stay with it, but then the GS3 came out and I figured: Hey that's a better phone so time to upgrade again just to realize a month later I didn't even liked it all that much ? So I learned my lessons ! One: Pure google it's pretty cool and Two: If you are not really looking forward to buy an specific phone regardless of the specs don't waste your money since if you are not pretty much in love with the phone before you even buy it chances are you'll get tired of it pretty quickly .. Proof of it it's for me that I still miss my first Nexus and my Sensation sometimes even after all this time...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MaorSwan:
I'm simply screwed :(

I have installed Android Revolution HD 12 but haven't installed a JB firmware and now my phone is stuck on boot loop.. I've tried to recover to the RUU from the restore but it's stuck on boot loop too, and I can't do anything about it; I can access the bootloader easily but it's useless because my pc won't recognize my phone now and I can't use any cmd commands/transfer files to my sd card/access the sd card.

What can I do? :(
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] InflatedTitan:
Factory reset. Plug it in, let computer reformat the sd card. Then try to transfer the correct Rom...

Use the right one. You flashed a tegra 3 Rom. Do a little research first bro the next time
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jjshinobi:
Use ADB to push ROM files if you don't have an sd card!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MaorSwan:
InflatedTitan, I've done it like a hundred times, pc just won't recognize it.

jjshinobi, could you please tell me how do I do that?

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kaloki:
I have a question, I have a xperia S (lt26i), and I have allowed bootloader status "no", I have the generic 4.0.4 android world, but hey seen you can install the root cwm and also do not need the boot loader unlocked, having locked bootloader could install cyanogenmod 9?? or any way to get it having locked bootloader without having to flash the kernel? :mad::confused:

If this was in the right section you would get your answer a lot faster as a lot of people now ignore question threads in the GENERAL section.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] techno-np:
Nope you need an unlock boootloader to boot CM rom
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Neurom707:
Not yet would be the right answer as some people are working on trying to get custom kernel onto a locked bootloader as this is the thing stopping users with locked bootloaders have cm ://
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kaloki:
I read somewhere that putting a generic rom 4.0.4 in specific and having locked bootloader cwm installed, you could install CM9, 9 not 10, because the kernel was compatible with CM9 and did not need to flash another kernel. And would have locked bootloader CM9 with and without flash kernel.:mad::confused:

I hate to say it, but the Nexus 4 is REALLY tempting me. Even though I just got this phone 3 months ago and it is by NO means out dated, some part of me wants to sell my S3 and get the N4 without spending any extra money at all. Do you guys thing it's a problem that LG made it? I'm skeptical. Any of you guys thinking the same thing?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] astromanic:

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cyanogendroid:
How so? At least for me it is not because I use Tmo so I don't use LTE, and I really do not need that much storage space.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] s0nniez:
Sorry, but no. It doesn't have a micro sd slot, and its not a big upgrade over the s3. I'll pass.

I said the same thing about Samsung, but they have seemed to turn things around. I was disappointed to see LG made the nexus 4, but maybe it will be a great device.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cyanogendroid:
From what I've heard they are notorious for bad software, not necessarily hardware. I'm pretty convinced to get it, problem is the time I between I sell mine to get the N4. lol teenager probs
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cyanogendroid:
Honestly the the biggest reason for me is the S4 Pro, none of the other things besides the screen matter to me.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] saotua:
Are you able to upgrade with this promotion?

I'm eligible for an upgrade but the price is showing $299 when I logged into my.T-mobile account. Does it mean that this promotion is only for new customers?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] guardzero:
I am eligible for it. I walked into T-Mobile and checked yesterday, but I think it's for Platinum Level T-Mo customers (whatever that means...the guy said something to the effect that I've been a member for 10+yrs). It may be for customers who've been with T-mo for a long time and have been paying their bill on time regularly. That's all the guy could tell me about it. I recommend walking into a store and checking. I'm about to go pick mine up in about 5 minutes, so I'll let you know how it goes once I've got it in hand. I'll ask a store associate about it and find out more info.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] saotua:
Thanks. Please update and let me know if you can get the deal.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Orical:
I happen to be what they call a platinum customer, I've been with T-Mobile for 11 years didn't know it but I thought it was less. You get some good perks like if I lose my phone I don't have to pay for the replacement (one time in a year) better discounts but you get into the do I upgrade game, say I have unlimited and my contract is up do I renew and get a new phone and lose unlimited because they don't offer it anymore or buy a phone outright and keep what I have. I've been tempted to try others but at the end of the day they do take care of me.

---------- Post added at 05:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:42 PM ----------

Yep! The longer you're with T-mo the better options you have. I've never had any issues with them and they are always willing to work with me on prices or changing my plan without charging the crap out of me. They have really good customer service in my experience.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] saotua:
Thanks for the update.

Is it 199 or 299? I just called the tmobile store on Newbury st in Boston and the guy said 299 and 300MIR... which state ur from?

btw, did you have to pay the activation fee?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] guardzero:
It was $199, no activation fee. I'm in Augusta, GA I don't know why they are telling you $299!! That can't be right. It's $199 at two other stores here in the area.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Crisisx1:
It's 199 for a two year contract check online
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] saotua:
They said 199 is for the Value plan and 299 for classic. I'm on the classic plan.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Crisisx1:
That doesn't even make sense. The value plan doesn't get any phone discounts just the plans are cheaper. The plans that give phone discounts are the classic plans and they are more expensive then the value plans.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] monkeypaws:
I can vouch for that. Been on the value plan for a while. It may be that is what you have to put down not the actual cost of the phone. I had to put down 150 for the sgs3 with $10 a month for 20 months. I paid a little extra to make it less a month. There are no discounts on value plans. Just full price or financing options.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cyanogendroid:
Yeah it doesn't have LTE, and I have heard tmo is getting it early 2013. Honestly the lack of LTE does not affect me at all. As long as I have consistent speeds above 10mbps, I'm happy. The lack of LTE is also one of the ways they made it so cheap, because LTE is in it's infancy and is bound to be expensive. I'm tried of typing LTE now lol
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Crisisx1:
I just read that the one being sold on the play store comes with the 21mb modem. But the one t mobil is selling will come with the 42 mb modem to support hspa+.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Crisisx1:
If you got an upgrade that means you signed the two year contract already....? So you're stuck for two years. But you do have 14 days to return the phone and get another one.

Oh is that what it is? Damn! I thought it was 14 days for the whole thing and not just the phone lol. To hell with that, I'm keeping the s3 lol

Double check on that just to be sure.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] siloner:
Actually I just did. I have 14 days to change my mind. Now I gotta put some thought into this phone or the s3
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] monkeypaws:
Yes you do have the 14 days and if you chose to return they are supposed to reverse the contract agreement. If and when you decide to get another phone through them at a discount then you sign an contract. If you buy the phone at the retail price you aren't locked down. That's what I did with my sgs2. Paid 500+ and did t sign a contract. On my sgs 3 I used the money from my gnex to put down so I'm on contract and payments. Love my sgs3. Not going to lg nexus.
