Radios are more geographically dependent (what town you are in, maybe even what tower or towers), than anything else. Carrier doesn't matter much. I've read of some people mentioning carrier specific optimizations for some radios. But I haven't seen any significant difference in performance for say AT&T radios versus non-AT&T (I'm on AT&T).

It really just comes down to trial and error. Newer radios are a good place to start, but that isn't a silver bullet either. New radios sometimes make for better performance for some, worse for others.

if all the other carriers go to unlimited data like t-mobile and with verizons free tethering and 4g coverage i mean everywhere i go verizon and at&t have 4g and i can count on one had the times i have seen sprint 4g even tho they say it is in my area and i have never seen sprint lte. if they dont hurry up wit lte expansion or offer some incentive this could be it for my beloved! :crying:

Maybe he thinks that pile of lg is going to save sprint, I hope I interpreted that wrong cause it won't lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ascertion:
Worry not. Verizon and att can't afford to have unlimited data. Too much stress on the network. Also, they wouldn't allow free tethering if they were unlimited. They don't even want it now but the FCC is forcing them to include tethering since people already have a data limit on their plans.

Tmobile and sprint can afford it because they're much smaller than the big two. Also, Sprints unlimited days will be coming to a halt once their network is up to par with Verizon and att.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mech8:
Idk I say they could some time I do remember when home high speed internet had a cap. Lol but I don't know if theyll do it soon they make too much money off it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gtuansdiamm:
I hope that sprint doesn't do what Verizon does. that thing where if you buy a phone in contract you lose your grandfathered unlimited data plan
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Frostacious:
Tmobile actually offers tethering as well apparently if I am understanding correctly and that's with the unlimited internet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ascertion:
I could honestly see Sprint allowing for Grandfathered plans. Verizon appears to be the only one that's forcing people out of theirs. Even AT&T, to an extent, is allowing customers to keep their unlimited data plans.

---------- Post added at 04:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:03 AM ----------

From what I've read, this is inaccurate. T-Mobile allows for tethering on all of their plans EXCEPT the truly unlimited plan. I think the confusion is in T-Mobile's wordings. According to T-Mobile, all of their plans are unlimited. Most plans just have throttle limits. The plans with throttle limits are the ones that allow tethering. T-Mobile is actually very strict about keeping track of what your data is being used for.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mech8:
Agreed! That ls bull**** and if they did that to me I would take their subsidized phone and flash it to prepaid and give em the shaft! Its like they see the deals on prepaid and dont care. I mean wit all the price hikes and policy changes $45 unlimited wit no contract is pretty ****in tempting.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cnstarz:
obvious fact #2: sprint would also be in trouble if all the other carriers handed out bags of diamonds and gold slippers to every new customer.

what exactly were you trying to accomplish with this post other than make an obvious and arbitrary statment?

LOL never fails. I made that statement to accomplish what forums are made for... To conversate with people get how i feel out there and get others opinions. so how about u? what did u hope to accomplish with your asinine comment? Negativity is not needed here, so if u dont have sumthing constructive to say plz move along.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nomad64:
I believe T-Mobile has had throttle limits for years now. I visited their site this morning and the fine-print on the "Classic Unlimited Premium Plan" makes for some interesting reading. About half way through it reads

Further reading into the plan's terms reveals this:

This is in comparison to Sprint's terms which read:

Although, I have never seen this enforced (and I regularly pull down 2+ GBs a month).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mech8:
interesting. i have only seen the 800min roamin enforced one time. and it was from a member here at xda they told him he had 2 weeks to find a new carrier. lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DCRocks:
That is for roaming, not when using Sprint's network.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nomad64:
This is true...fail. Apparently my brain skipped over that part (I blame reading lots of small print too early in the morning) :p

As far as on-network data usage goes, I don't believe Sprint even has a limit in their ToS. Although they probably have a line saying they can cut you off if you are a bandwidth hog.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] superbeast0:
As long as we are playing "what if"....

What if aliens come down and give Sprint the technology to embed 18g into our heads? And better yet it was free for everyone that currently has Sprint.

I usually track about 600gb from my home internet a month about 100 of which is phone related

Oh and opgot it backwards sprints deal they. Made has everyone else scrambling maybe they suck now but in 12months I think vzw and att are gonna be on the defense sprint is in the process of rebuilding a network to rival vzw and this time they have the cash to do it and do it right and more spectrum last I checked I don't think there futures looked brighter

From a business standpoint they will almost certainly succeed, T-Mobile is the real loser they lack an iPhone they also have huge huge coverage issues not to mention no where near the money att,vzw,spr have soft bank is a huge company that it's funneling billions to see sprint succeed

OG evo? Gtfoh?...some people need to think/read before they talk ****.

I am using a T-Mobile s3 & sprint evo LTE. And I refuse to watch movies that I cannot see the full detail of the skin oil and facial hair in movies. Why even own such an amazing device and not use it to its potential. Just my friendly opinion. I could care less if anyone else's don't mind medium quality audio/video but if you knew me personally you would understand that every single product I own is used to its potential which is why I prefer lossless audio/video.

---------- Post added at 10:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 PM ----------

4gb a day isn't to bad. That's like 4 netflix movies,a torrent and some music/gaming/youtube. There are others abusing the crap out of sprints lte and I mean 15gb a day. Ridiculous lol

4gb a day is real excessive. If it wasn't then att and verizon would not have capped data plans.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] slowfncar:
I own multiple devices.including the s3 & evo LTE. If you have not figured it out yet,they are both 720p resolution lmfao. The only difference is the dpi from a tad bigger screen and those pentile pixels.

That's nice that you preferred the s3 screen over the ips slcd2,I also prefer amoled when it comes to gaming but none other then ipslcd2 when watching movies or taking photo's. Don't let your personal opinion automatically make something better then the other because its just like I said a damn personal opinion.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dalmus:
Gray area... Sprint, AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, they all have to pay somebody else eventually for all that bandwidth you are consuming. I think they have a right to limit bandwidth of they so choose.

However, limiting WHAT you do with the days you are allotted is sickening to me. What does it really matter if you use 5GB of days by web browsing and emails versus streaming Netflix or downloading porn via torrent?

S3 blows the evo lte away,you bought it, so you realize it too
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] daniel4653:
I've owned both phones and the evo is a very solid phone but I do think the gs3 is better. A big turnoff was the development
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sprkat85:
Ok so if the evo lte is such a better phone I would like to know the answers to a couple of questions.

1. Why is it such a pain to root?

2. Why did the sgs3 get jb first?

I realy like htc phones but the delays and issues with rooting them pissed me off. Ask anyone with a 3d who had 1.50 hboot.

I agree people can do what ever they want with there service but just dont brag about it. That is just someone looking for an argument.

All facts
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] esloudan:
Just wondering since its an unlimited data plan, how can a person abuse it? It states "unlimited data". I looked up unlimited and it says no limit, to go on with no stop. So when they say people abuse unlimited data, they r saying limited data. There is no such a thing to me as unlimited but yet limited. If it has allocated usage then it has a limit.

All in all, the term unlimited data is just a providers gimmick.

I can't knock on sprint cause in my area there is little to no service unless u have sprint.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kg4icg:
I guess you don't know that Sprint's LTE is live in Martinsburg? Has been for a bit now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cdbrindl:
Rather than speculate over definitions of terminology, I called Sprint, ask for a floor manager and got a very knowledgeable rep on the phone. According to her, a text goes out to the client when the reach 300mb of data in ROAM ( its a warning text), then a call for not complying with the text, next an "action letter" is sent to the account holder stating "Sprint's resolution to the issue....". I use about 50gb of data with hacked WiFi hotspot to kid's tablets and PS3 (Netflix and Hulu) and my PC for torrents. I have never in 11 years, rather, since the inception of smartphones, used more than 300mb data roam. Pushing data to roam device obviously costs a lot and Sprint does not like it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freecharlesmanson:
Don't know where that came from but.

.....I'd say the spec sheet and sales numbers speak for them selves
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] LexLuger82:
So why are you doing it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] esloudan:
Does ur phone support 4g? My phone is 4g and my girlfriend's is an lte. We both can use it. Hers is noticeably faster. I think Shepherdstown has lte only cause we was at a friends in Mecklenburg heights and she can connect but I can't.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dalmus:
So you are abusing the unlimited data by using it for things expressly disallowed under the TOS. Namely, you are tethering without paying for the tethering feature.

Not only that, but unlimited data is specifically meant for YOUR phone, not for tethering. There is a reason why the tether plans have data limits.

Not that I personally care, but if Sprint sends you a letter for tethering, don't complain. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] esloudan:
I'm trying to find it now but several months ago, tethering isn't really against the law. I really don't remember the whole thing but federal law states a company can't block out standard features of an OS or a device and charge extra to activate it. I really can't think of all it said I do remember roam only option and tether was on the list. I'll post a link as soon as I can find it.

I really think droves of people on this forum would agrees after all we all bought one

I'm just saying either way it's related even if you just meant those two things.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mulhiny:
It's not that tethering is illegal, but that Rooting your phone is against Sprint's TOS. It actually states that they can even cancel your service for rooting. So, while not illegal, you (we) agreed to the TOS when signing the contract. It also forbids using the data network for torrent downloading..

From the TOS : Under, Our Right To Suspend Or Terminate Services "(i) modifying a Device from its manufacturer specifications (for example, rooting the device)"

Under, Prohibited Network Uses " Examples of prohibited data uses: Sprint data services are provided solely for purposes of web surfing, sending and receiving email, photographs and other similar messaging activities, and the non-continuous streaming of videos, downloading of files or on line gaming"

It covers root, jailbreak, and unlock. All they can really do is void ur warranty.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mulhiny:
No. It actually used to be illegal to root or jailbreak as the software was protected under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act or the DMCA. All this law did was change that. You are lawfully allowed to root or jailbreak and change software now as you please. However, it doesn't require Sprint (or any other carrier) to allow the devices on their network. Think about it..I copied right from Sprint's current TOS. Don't you think Sprint has a team of lawyers look over these things? All this law did was make it legal for you to do it. That's all.
