[Q] Evo 4G +$100 for NS4G - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As NS4G owners, is this a good deal? I'm considering trading my Evo + $100 for this dude's NS4G.

**** no. I have a nexus s 4g n I love it but its an even trade. The evolution is worth just as much as far as price goes. But definately try to get the ns4g. I gave my gf my evolution running warm 2.2 n got the ns4g n am supppper happy about it

I've seen sites offering an evo 3d for $50 if you give them your old evo. The evo and nexus also both go for the same price at Sprint, but the evo with bloated HTC sense runs better benchmarks (if that's your thing) than the nexus s.
That being said. My nexus s is awesome and has great battery life for a Droid, while still pulling a >4000 quadrant and a >20 linpack.

Trade mytouch 4g for nexus s

Is it a good idea?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
I actually just did the opposite..well..sort of. I sold my Nexus S for $450 and bought a MyTouch 4G for $350..it seems the Nexus has a higher resale value than the MyTouch, so if you can get an even swap from your MyTouch to the Nexus, it's a good deal. I personally wouldn't switch back, myself..but that's just me
I did the same, but now Im back to the mytouch 4g... If you have a "bad" panel I say make the trade, nexus s wasn't too bad to play with for a few weeks. Battery life wasn't good at all for me ... mytouch 4g is solid, plus rom development wasn't there. May have a few more roms now, feel of nexus s isn't that bad, screen is nice and thats probably the only good thing it has going for it. I would recommend trading for a vibrant 4g instead of the nexus s
I would say no. Mytouch has a flash and optical track bad a better build quality IMO. Also more baseband RAM and I just don't personally like the way the SAMOLEDs look. They all have this weird blue hue to everything. Oh and no HSPA+.
Nope don't do it personally I love the mytouch I got it the day it came out and haven't had a problem with it the mytouch is a solid phone it feels great in my hands the phone is just great all around

Last I checked the Nexus S had a flash...
No HSPA+ was a deal breaker for me, but if you're in an area where it doesn't matter then it's fine.
I'm wondering the same thing, question is - How much to sell the 4G for and what price to except the Samsung for.

Funny. I totally did the same thing, too. Sold the Nexus S for $380 on craigslist and picked up the black myTouch. Worth it.
Me too i returned my Nexus S and i got myTouch, it's really a good phone. nexus s just screen but it's crap, HTC THE BEST EVER
Alright sounds good..the Guy didn't want to trade just because I had a 4gb card instead of 8...so I was like whatever..

As a former Vibrant owner all I have to say is this:
Samsung would have to make their next phone out of solid gold and give it to me for free!! Vanilla android and that spiffy screen are the only things it does better than the MT4G.

Worth it?

So right now I have a rooted hero runnin 2.3 and I want nnothing more than a new phone. I'm highly considering the ns4g, or tue evo. I'd like some ffeedback from nexus ownerson wwhat they think about the s, thank you in advance

I came from the Hero running 2.3 to the nexus myself. I can't get over the difference. It's amazing how easy it to read thing on the screen, how much bridget everything looks. Just the over-all better-ness of the phone. Do it, you won't regret it.

The evo hasalot of Dev support. But its aging hardware will be hurtfull for you after a year. Get the nexus just better over all and of coarse its a Google phone so no waiting for a port you get it first

Can't the same be said for the Nexus; hell a new nexus has already been announced. I am not partial to either one as I have access to both; simply playing devils advocate.

But the evo hardware is going to be far slower in a year than nexus hardware. The Hummingbird processor we've seen in the SGS family is by far better than what the evo is sporting.
I don't have a single concern about my Nexus S (or Epic) not being adequate in a year or two.... I have used an evo now and I already feel that it's a slow clumsy device shoe-horned into a large enclosure to attract the "hummer crowd" ... bigger is better, am i right?
I just got rid of my epic for the ns4g (cracked screen on epic). My fiancée has the EVO and I have to say its a night and day comparison. Battery on the nexus is much better. Everything is smoother, and of course the display is 100x better. The EVO is a nice phone, but hardware wise its a bit out of date.

True but right now a evo will get screwed playing angry birds with ad's with kernels and cm7. Its a nice phone but getting one now would not be a wise descion with this in the same line up
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
Ty everyone, the nexus being a Google phone is the big selling point to me, I do like the size of the ebo, my dad has one, but it can get a little laggy sometimes, I still have almost a year to upgrade. But the nex will still be my first choice. Unless the nrxt one comes to sprint, and has ics and dual core p:

EVO 3D Lunch This Month .. Will you return your NS4G

RAdioshack says that June 24th is the release date for the Evo 3D.. after the radio issues are you considering returning the phone?..
i am actually thinking it
i guess everyone loves the Nexus 4G
I already returned mine, and went back to my Evo 4g, waiting for the 3D now.
My Nexus had 50% time without signal, and thus battery life was horrendous.
Well not to rain on the EVO3D parade but....version1 hardware with a new technology ...(the 3d display) not to mention when the Evo launched it had its fair share of radio issues. So it always a gamble with a new handset with new untested(real world testing) hardware. I think I will stick with my Nexus for now and just wait on the next Google phone.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA Premium App
Nope. I'll be keeping my NS4G.
And I'll be hoping that OpenSense (just launched by HTC) will result in parts of Sense being ported to my device...
My Nexus S 4G:
Time without signal = 0.00%
I'm keeping mine. I love it.

Given Google's response with previous issues with the Nexus One and the GSM Nexus S I'd imagine a fix is on the way in the near future. The Evo 3d is a toss up. Personally I am on board for NFC, both for app development and Google wallet.

Are you currently using Google Wallet? If so how is it working for you?

Me too. I haven't even paid off this phone yet. I will try the wait and see attitude as best I can.
I loved my EVO until I got the pure GOOG experience... keeping the NS4G..
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
No way! Pure Google all the way. I'm keeping my NS4G until I get a Nexus 4 (or whatever the latest Nexus is in 2013). After living with the Hero and the LG Axis, I won't go back. Bloatware & custom skins be gone! More importantly, when I hear Engadget announce the next killer feature for Android, I want it NOW, not 6-9 months from now, if ever.
Yeah im keeping my nexus s 4g i wont be returning it for the evo 3d i love my google nexus s 4g

why go from a sleek, fit in your pocket phone to a bulky version 1 device.
No way the NS4G is awesome!!!! I get awesome battery life. And I love the pure Google experience. Wouldn't trade for anything except the next Nexus phone.

I'm still loving my non-4g Nexus S, best phone i have ever owned...ever! Honestly I'm apprehensive about the whole "dual-core" thing, which would be the only attraction the EVO 3D reportedly has. Other than the 3D aspect if your into that kind of thing.
Nope. I am sticking with the Nexus line of phones. EVO 3D is a prototype. I guarantee you it will be problem city.
In the meantime, I will still have my Nexus and the peace of mind knowing that I will always have the latest version of Android (barring any minimum hardware requirements).
I can actually watch Google keynotes and be excited.

I had a Nexus S. I honestly miss it, but the G2x hardware is a million times better. The main thing I miss about the NS is the large variety of roms (I guess cause the phone has more devs since its older) and that 4 inch Super Amoled display.

Left my Nexus One in a pants pocket and ran it through the wash last April. Tried going back to my still perfect launch day MT3G for a week or so but it was too damn slow. After just a few minutes of researching my current on-contract choices I picked up my launch week G2x in a local T-Mo store.
I like my G2x alright, but I do miss my rock solid N1.

G2
Mt4g
N1 is gone, but I swap around with the rest.

[Q] What Sprint phone should upgrade to?

I'm still sporting my original HTC Hero (Cyanogenmod 7) rooted etc etc etc...
I was seriously wanting to upgrade to the EVO 3D but some more devices have shown up lately, as of today also.
Thoughts on what I should get? I want power, I tether ALOT so that is a factor. I'll be rooting etc.
Anything other than the EVO 3D I should consider?
Don't get the evo, get the nexus s 4g. I left the evo for this phone. Best decision I've ever made this phone has more developers, no bloatware, faster, smoother, sleeker, more updates. Do not miss my evo aat all.

Correct, but sense takes up so much RAM, it makes the phone super sketchy. My friend has the 3D and when he speant the weekend with me all weekend he was saying how mine was faster, he liked the super amoled screen, just get it trust me.
