buying a nexus s 4g on ebay - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Could someone please tell me which phone I need to purchase if I want it for Sprint. I think it is the Nexus S 4G SPH-D720 but I also see people selling a Nexus S 4G i9020. Is the SPH-D720 just Sprint's name for the i9020?
I just don't want to make the mistake of buying a phone I think will work on Sprint when actually the seller was just trying to get as many damn keywords in as possible for ebay searches.
Also, do all Sprint Nexus phones have the Super Amoled screen?
Thanks.

The D720. And I do believe that all the Sprint NS come with SAMOLED. I know mine did. And coming from the Shift it's flat out amazing =)

All Nexus S models are AMOLED exept I9023.....

Sph-d720 is the sprint nexus s 4G as was mentioned, and that sph is significant. Don't go ordering a samsung d720 or you will be a very unhappy camper.

Desire S On Tmobile USA?

Does anybody use this phone on Tmobile USA? I am looking to upgrade from my vibrant and get a HTC phone. Was thinking nexus one but I kind of like the looks of this phone better. Not really interested in the 4.3 Inch screen of the Sensation 4G.

[Q] New Phone!

Would any of you guys suggest buying a Samsung Epic Touch 4G now? or the iPhone4s? I currently have an HTC Evo 4G and the power button gave out... it only works if I don't let the screen time out ):.
My question is, do you think I should buy the Samsung Epic Touch 4G or iPhone4s, OR wait for the rumored iPhone5/Samsung Galaxy SIII?
I would suggest the epic touch 4g

Wait for the Galaxy SIII. You could also consider the Evo 4G LTE - http://news.softpedia.com/news/HTC-EVO-4G-LTE-Approved-by-FCC-Pre-Orders-Start-in-May-264450.shtml (since you had an Evo, it may make you feel more "at home").

If you are serious about waiting and iOS platform you should wait a few months to start getting the "new" iPhone rumors and release date.

I think there's a website where you can get all kinds of people submitting ROMS, each with customization, themes, adjusted apps, all for the iPhone4s. Oh wait, actually I don't' think there is.
Neither, because you'll be able to get a much better phone by may/june
Well, since mostly everyone is telling me to wait... is there anyway to get my phone to function? I either have to leave the screen on and not let it timeout, or pull out the battery and put it back in to view a text/email.
I went from an Epic 4G Touch to an iPhone 4S for 2 months, and regretted it. The only saving grace of the iPhone is that it feels expensive and looks good, but from a usability standpoint you will be really limited in what you can do with it, even jailbroken (which you can't jailbreak it now anyways if you buy it new). I'm on a white Epic 4G Touch now. There's no place like home.
I'd say wait for the Evo 4G LTE, but the Epic 4G Touch is without a doubt the fastest phone out right now, even faster than the Galaxy Nexus. You can't go wrong with it. But like others have said, wait to see around next month and June. If you HAVE to pick a phone right now, Epic 4G Touch. If you have to pick one now and want to sell it later, get an iPhone 4S, call Sprint to have them unlock it, then sell it on eBay for $600 and buy the Evo 4G LTE off contract.
i guess I might have to go with the epic 4g touch... idk how much longer I can survive without a phone lol

Well, if you need it now, then the Samsung Epic 4G Touch is one of the best options you have.
in my opinion wait for the galaxy s III or whatever they will call it.
I hope it will be announced until the last of April, And don't listen to any rumor in the internet right now 98% are imaginations and lies...
I'm still using the trusty EVO 4g but will be upgrading to the new EVO LTE when it comes out. That is one killer phone.

[Q] T-Mobile What phones can I use...

OK, not even sure if this is the right place to post this question or not... But I am switching to T-Mobile (Small Business Plan $49.95 unlimited plan without phones) So I am buying my own phones.. I am trying to figure out what phones I can get that will do there 4G network, I think the network is HSPA+
I have been looking on eBay for phones, found a bunch of unlocked phones from over seas, just not sure as far as what ones will do the 4G, they list 2G and 3G and the different bands but have 4G in the title...
I am tired of big phones, I have the HTC Evo no, I want to go back to one the size of my old HTC Inc....
I wish there where career specific forums on here. Thanks for any help!!

Most unlocked phones from overseas will not get AWS bands which t-mobile uses. The Galaxy Nexus will get 4G..but for the size you are looking for, I would go with an HTC Amaze. Make sure it is the T-mobile version.

Thanks. I actually have my friends HTC Amaze phone that I was testing to make sure T Mobile service was better then Sprint in all the places I go (It is much better). It is a little big... The Samsung Blaze isn't to bad, but feels a little cheap...

If you want a high quality decently specced phone, you aren't going to be able to find anything smaller than the amaze...
The Blaze seams pretty good as far as speeds go. The Amaze feels alot better because it is heaver... I guess worst case I could just go with the Blaze.. To bad I couldn't get one of those Casio G Shock phones to work 4G, that thing looks indestructible!!
I decided to go with the Samsung Exhibit ll, it looks about the same size as my old HTC inc

Do i have the nexus s or the nexus s 4g

ok so i know this is a dumb question lol but i'm trying to figure out if i have the nexus s or the nexus s 4g. i got this phone off craigslist and the guy didn't say either way. actually i thought it was the samsung galaxy nexus but its not. but i'm trying to figure out what root method and roms to use and this is important to figure out lol. here is what the about phone says.
baseband version
1902auckj1
build number
imm769
model number 19070a
made in kora.
its the att gsm model.
imei starts w/355
Nexus S.
The Nexus S 4G is Sprint only

at&t phones w/ dev

so we currently are on verizon. our signal is weak at home and heard at&t services our area well.. so im realy cinsidering the switch.. it sucks going outside to make phone calls..
what at&t devices have development going on?? root, backup.. you know..
we switched to verizon a year ago from tmobile. i got a htc dsire 626 that had no dev whatsoever.. going from a rom junkie to no means at all was crazy.. i hate phones with buttons but in this case it seems if i have to do it, i have to do it..
I know the feeling. I thought the Galaxy S4 would be a "nice cheap upgrade" from the Captivate (Galaxy S, AT&T branded ofc) which spoiled me to no end. I'd love to find something as open as that.
Right now, I'm looking at just outright outta-contract buying an unlocked phone and just doing the legwork to make sure it works with AT&T antenna wise.
Of course everyone's needs and wants are different but amongst my group the winners seem to be OnePlus Three, LG G4/5, for those who are flash-happy.

cool i'll have to take a look into those.. yeah the desire 626 had literally no dev for the verizon side.. metropcs got a little but it was dead for the most part.. i just delt with it, gave up, but never lost interest.. now that we are thinking of switching again, ima do more research before get anything..
HTC 10 - T-Mobile Note 4 or 5 - Nexus 6p - one+ any version - Nexus 5x - Honor 5x or 8
