Need Help... Time to Switch Phones. - General Questions and Answers

Hi All,
I am currently looking at changing my phone. Finally have a little financial back up to get one. I am interested in getting the Galaxy S III or Note II.
But i do not want to go for the dual core version of S III that is widely available. Since there are so many models of the internationally available. Can you let me know which S III models are available internationally can support LTE in USA? I see there is GT 9305 which supports LTE but its frequencies don't match the US carriers.

oh nice. from the rumors it sounds like the new BB is suppose to run android apps and possibly ios apps as well.,. what prepay are you on?

Don't go with the s3, it will be outdated soon enough. The note 2 is a good choice, but it looks like you haven't even looked at the nexus 4. Why is that?

I was going over some calculations and information websites, prepaid plans are better over a period of 2 year contracts. Saves you a lot of dough!
About the Nexus 4, that battery thing again nails it for me! :crying:

You have to buy your phone outright though huh ?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

Yup. But
Look at it this way... $150 for S3 now, which you can get for $600. So that is a difference of $450. But on the plans i save $45 a month average. I am talking about unlimited talk text and 2 GB LTE plan. Contract for that would be $119 per month IIRC. Which would be $65 on prepaid. The difference covers up in 10 months and the rest 14 months you would be saving.
Plus no hassle of breaking terms, switching carriers, selling it for a decent price and whatever.

I'd go for the s3 unless your comfortable with a bigger phone then I'd go for the note 2. Both are very hackable and very good phones.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

Well on sprint you could get unlimited data unlimited calls to any cell and unlimited text for about $83 a month and currently get the s3 for $100 and if your a member at a credit Union and get a $100 port in credit
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

The best phones out there right now, in my opinion is the S3 and the Galaxy Note 2. I would get one of those or wait for a couple of months for some of the newer phones to release.

If you can, I suggest waiting for the galaxy s4

What are you talking about? The Galaxy S was on nearly all carriers. No reason that Galaxy S II will not be not to mention the rumored name will be AT&T Attain.
IT will be released by at&t as the Samsung Attain:
http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/16/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-us-carrier-names-revealed-atandt-attain-veri/
Go figure :O
But alas, no 4.5' screen
SGS2 will come to ATT, and most likely about same time.
It already passed FCC with ATT-specific frequencies.
So yeah. VZW news came first, that's all. Actually, second, Sprint SGS2 news came first.
Yeah the attain was announced like wayyyy last month.... ATT is first to the scene... Verizon and sprint is kinda on the coat tails...
Who cares about sgs2, I'm ok with the infuse and I will be eligible for upgrade on June 13 5 days from now and I will use that for the iPhone 5 to sell it for may be $1,500 or more in London. I hope.

actually that was a miscommunication.
they really meant to so Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
I still have upgrade option after i upgraded to the infuse. has been there for a month now.. or so.
Attain or iPhone 5??? hmmm
Where did you buy the infuse?
this is false info...go back to the link read the bottom
UPDATE: False alarm, folks. According to This is my next, a Verizon spokesperson has confirmed that it'll actually be the LTE-enabled Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, not the Galaxy S II, that'll be launching next month

Yes transformer already pointed this out. It will be Q3 for all carriers probably september
I just bought Infuse 4g and love it (after iPhone 4 *sigh*). The only thing is disappointing is single core processor because new phones with dual cpu and decent gpu just started to come out. Samsung Galaxy S II is superior in this sense. The question is will it come out this summer on at&t because, I know from experience, it took a half a year to HTC phones to get to USA.
Should I return Samsung Infuse and wait for Samsung Galaxy S II?
how is it possible that the US will get that phone so ****ing late?! I live in austria and have it since early may. And the plans here are just awesome. 200€ for the phone; 20€ monthly for 1000 min. 1000 texts and 5gb unlimited internet..

According to the rumors, Galaxy S II or Attain will come out late August/early September.
However if Apple's Lawsuit goes through there may be a ban of all sales of Samsung Smartphones in the US

From what I've seen these rumors are pretty accurate perhaps off by a couple months at most. But right now the lawsuit by Apple is quite a problem.
And I go well over 20,000 texts a month. LOL 1000 doesn't cut it. Not since 2005.

June 20th ....SGS3 T-Mobile

You may have already heard the news released today about the Samsung Galaxy S3 arriving in stores on June 20th (fingers crossed ) but I thought I would post it for others to see. T-Mobile also has included release dates for a few other phones like the Galaxy Note (way too big ) and the Mytouch line of devices. The fallowing information has been provided by TMOnews.
Samsung Galaxy S III 16GB Metallic Blue – June 20th
Samsung Galaxy S III 32GB Metallic Blue – June 20th
T-Mobile myTouch (Huawei Phoenix) – July 11th
T-Mobile myTouch (Huawei Buddy) – July 11th
Samsung Galaxy S III 16GB Ceramic White – July 11th
Samsung Galaxy Note – July 11th
* I got my eye on the Blue 32gb. SGS3....(Pebble Blue)
What are you all thinking?
July 11th for me, not wasting my time with the blue version. White is just too pretty.
Hope they release the radio for the note before the release of the t-mobile note. I just don't see myself rockin a smaller screen lol

Not sure about price...How much does a Note go for on other networks? Probably similar pricing? I bought my SGS2 for full price the day it came out and I kicked myself for doing so. I had the MT4G in one hand and the SGS2 in the other, what am I supposed to do? lol....I called T-Mobile this afternoon to check on my upgrade status. and what do ya know? This June I will be due for a full upgrade, just in time for the worlds greatest smartphone aka SGS3. Or until a better phone drops 2 weeks later....haha. My guess is no less than $600.00, and who knows about the difference in price from the 16gb to the 32gb? I cant imagine it being over a 100 dollar difference between the two, but what do I know. Our luck it will be like $850.00 or something ridiculous...
T-mobile is notorious for making you pay way too much for a phone even when you have a full upgrade available. Needless to say I'll be waiting to see reviews and developments before I jump onto any of these, even though the galaxy III is calling my name.

My opinion, these phones hardware are ahead of the software. I think all the high end phones are going to pretty much work the same until we have some software they fully utilizes quad core.

The last time I bought a phone, upgraded, and added a 2 year contract on my plan was when I got a Blackberry Curve 8900 right around when the phone came out for close to $300. I've been using a jailbroken/unlocked iPhone I bought from a friend up until I got my S2 about 6 months ago. I paid $400 dollars (With a $50 dollar rebate, whoopdeedoo...) out of pocket with an obvious full upgrade at a T-Mobile store not an "Authorized" reseller. Close friend of mine paid the same amount as me shortly afterwards.
I would have much rather have paid the glorious $99 dollars you paid. Did you get it during a promotion?

Thats very strange. I have never seen a subsidized phone at T-Mobile cost $300-400. It was a sale when I bought mine, but the normal price was $199

I got my TMO Sensation 4G in 8/2011 and it cost me $229 up front. Was supposed to be $249, but the salesclown screwed up and initially said $199. I was going to walk away, then he offered a bit less and I took it since I really wanted the Sensation. My big mistake, picking the phone first instead of the carrier. I didn't realize TMO coverage is not so hot here in Vegas. I will be switching to either Verizon or Sprint in 14 months unless TMO dramatically upgrades their coverage.

Just found my receipt, the breakdown looks like this.
Phone price - $279.99 (Discount - Normally $499.99)
Sales Tax - $43.59 (Based on the full price of the phone)
Upgrade Fee - $18.00
Upgrade Fee Tax -$1.58
Total = $341.58
I feel molested after hearing you paid a whopping $99 dollars....

What part of town? The Sensation 4G has mediocre reception, I had one. T-Mobile's biggest problem is EDGE coverage, not a total lack of. Thankfully after two years of them basically stopping any major investments in the Las Vegas area, they are picking back up again. Mountains Edge just got 4G HSPA+ instead of the 3G it was on.
Dude I can't wait!!!!!

Nexus S to Galaxy S2?

Hey all, Is it worth upgrading my Nexus S to a Galaxy S2X (Hercules) ?My friend is offering to sell me his brand new locked S2 for 220$&(no contract)..and I'm trying to decide whether I should get it as an upgrade to my one year old Nexus S or if I should just wait another year before upgrading.. What are your thoughts?
For $220? NO! NO! NO! NO!
Why would you consider that? $220 is the price of a new S3 in many cases.
T-Mobile S3 for $179 right now at Costco: http://membershipwireless.com/index.cfm/go/shop/do/PhoneDetails/productId/5366

A new S3 in this case would be $600+. OP would be getting it off contact (SIM - free) as opposed to on contract for approx. $200.
I say take it, because the S2 still runs more than $220 used, and you'd be getting it new for that price. That's a great deal!
Ps. Wanna give me your nexus s?

Locked as in locked to a certain carrier.
If his friend is selling it to him, how does his friend force him onto a contract? Unless he works for a cell company or a certified reseller, that is not possible.
And if he really is a friend, I doubt he would tie him onto a contract

idk my contract ends on September but i asked on t-mobile and they said the earliest i can renew my contract with full discount and everything will be in march on my b-day but i might just wait till a holiday so i can get those juicy specials so maybe the s4 or note 3 on the 4th of july
anybody wanna make a new holiday?:laugh::laugh: lol
So... by the time you're renewing your contract, will T-Mo have scrapped their classic plans and phone subsidies completely yet?
My contract is due next week. I want a Nexus 4 and use it with a prepaid service. Here in PR, TMo signal is not good or maybe is this phone not being able to pick 3G. I don't know. My mom has AT&T and she has signal everywhere with her Samsung Focus. So, I think Nexus 4 with one of those minor carriers that uses AT&T network. Won't go back to a two year contract hopefully never in my life. It's been a pain in the...
My gf got a Note 2 and it's great, but without contract is too expensive, worth 2 N4. So Nexus it shall be.
Im waiting on my N4 to get here. Ive already bought the sim from straight talk. I advise any of you guys that plan on using straight talk to goto walmart.com and buy the att micro sim while its in stock. After they are gone no more att straight talk byod sims. Apparently they lost a contract with att to sell just the sims. Ill be picking up two more in the coming weeks if they are still available just because.
Chris if you are going to goto a att mvno make sure you can bring your own phone. Most of them restrict you to their phones. Atleast in the states they do.
My contract expired over a month ago and as always it will depend on $$$. I want my next device to be LTE capable. It's great that T-Mobile is finally implementing LTE yet it's only in a few markets right now. last time I looked the Note 2 was the only LTE device T-Mobile had. I heard they'll be getting the LTE capable Galaxy S3 soon. Until T-Mobile steps up with adequate devices it's pointless to upgrade yet. Just my opinion.
I'm on Chris' s same track. I also live in PR and Tmo's signal is unpredictable. My contract expired 3 weeks ago, and my wife bought me the Note 2. I can't complain, I'm in love again with my device as i was with my SGS4G. Battery life is amazing, considering the 3100mAh and running pure stock, with some bloat removed. :thumbup:
I still lurk around this community and test some of the Roms here, as I gave my SGS4 to my son.

You can buy a SIM cutter for a few dollars that will punch a micro out of a standard one.
For example, http://www.amazon.com/Noosy-Generation-Micro-Cutter-adapters/dp/B005EMS1YG/ or http://www.amazon.com/QQ-Tech®-Cutter-Standard-iPhone-Adapters/dp/B009P16FKY/

Its not a matter of the sim size. They are going to stop selling the att brand sims. It will be only T-Mobile brand sim cards.

Does that mean that they'll also loose the tower contract with ATT? I haven't looked into it at all but isn't the tower contract part of anti monopoly law? If so is this ATT's way of finding a workaround?
I've got to say that getting off the subsidy-based plan makes far too much sense to me now, especially with T-Mobile re-farming the spectrum in the US. With better alignment of the bands, I find it hard to consider a T-Mobile-crippled phone (both hardware and firmware). When you take into account the difference in price in the plans over a two-year period, even if it is only $20 a month (and it is significantly more for me), that is $480 -- which is probably more than the subsidy would "buy" you anyways.

Yep. Add to that that unlocking a carrier based phone is "illegal" and I'll only be buying non branded phones. Plus the international versions always have better specs than the US versions anyway. I don't live in an LTE area so that is far from a deal breaker for me.

No just the sims for the byod plans. I just ported my number to straight talk today. It was a pain in the ass but ugh finally. From the limited info given out straight talk just lost sim card contracts. Tower usage is still the same. But if you get the t-mobile sim you CANT connect to the att towers.
Unlocking your phone is not illegal as long as you get permission. I am on the fence on that as I think people shouldnt buy phones subsidized then unlock pay etf and change carriers. But if you have been a customer long enough for them to give the code it shouldnt be a issue.
Is the note 3 and s4 going to be LTE? I live in Tennessee and im sure theres no LTE out here but it wont bother me any.
And isnt it only illegal to unlock a phone if it was bought after a certain date? Or is it legal if you buy it straight out or from another owner

Waiting for n5. What would you do?

Have a GN. Looking to upgrade to n5 but it doesn't look like Verizon will support it. Rightfully so. They really just don't get the android Dev experience. If I was to switch to another carrier what would be the next best choice. Live in Northeast USA. If I don't switch carrier what would be some other comparable phone choices that boot loader is unlockable and rootable. What choices are there. Lg g2. Note 3. Galaxy S4 kind of old all ready. Moto x. What would you do and why

Also worried about being able to root. Since Verizon seems to want to lock down devices. Also don't know what to do about the unlimited data I have. Don't want to pay retail but might have to to keep it. Is it worth it. With the nexus 5 I would probably jump ship. Verizon has lost interest in taking care of the customers who made them what they are. They simply don't mind losing customers when new ones walk in the door. What would be a second choice of carrier. T-Mobile. Sprint. At&t. Choosing should not be this difficult but this is what Verizon has done to customers. Bad business practice with customers and Google alike.

Have a GN. Looking to upgrade to n5 but it doesn't look like Verizon will support it. Rightfully so. They really just don't get the android Dev experience. If I was to switch to another carrier what would be the next best choice. Live in Northeast USA. If I don't switch carrier what would be some other comparable phone choices that boot loader is unlockable and rootable. What choices are there. Lg g2. Note 3. Galaxy S4 kind of old all ready. Moto x. What would you do and why

I still have unlimited data through Verizon on my GNex, and when the Nexus 5 drops I am getting rid of Verizon!
I am really liking the wireless plans (no contract) offered by AIO. They were bought out by ATT and and it basically uses the ATT LTE nationwide network.
I plan on ditching my GNex and getting a Nexus 5 and signing up for AIO's $70 plan. I will save about $30 a month from what I am paying to Verizon and I'll be able to enjoy the Nexus experience
I can't stand the phones the Verizon offers anymore (no nexus, etc) and I want a phone that I can use on multiple carriers and around the world. Screw Verizon!

Just leave Verizon. Too much BS in that crap company. Go to At&t or T-Mobile. I live in the northeast and had At&t for almost twenty years only switched recently to T-Mobile because of the uncarrier stuff

What do you mean uncarrier stuff. I travel all over new england so I need an adequate carrier. Plan on leaving Verizon but don't want to hop on board with the wrong carrier for what I need.

Get the n5 with att then. It seems you are used to the price and coverage. I know tmo is great in the urban areas up the eastern seaboard but if you go anywhere like upstate new York etc it gets sparse. I've been on T-Mobile for more than 10 years and fortunate to always be within good coverage but I would probably have to go with evil att if I traveled a lot. Verizon has the best coverage and same prices as att, but no Sim card or way to root the majority of their phones, I would have to go with att
