according to this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_(system_on_chip)
its the same processor in both. the international Raider is clocked at the same speed and the AT&T variant (Vivid) is slightly Underclocked from the factory. but they are both capable of the same speeds.

You don't even say why you want to return it.
I've personally contemplated getting the Galaxy Nexus (unlocked), but I'm torn between the two.
The main GN selling points for me are the higher res display, notification light and NFC out of the box. On the other hand, it's got a crappy camera, no LTE (plus I'm hearing lousy signal and data speeds on AT&T).
What I love about the SR is obviously LTE and the camera, but on the other hand I hate the 800x480 res and sound quality of both ear speaker and loud speaker is sub-par. Plus, no notification light is killing me, reminds of my days with an iPhone. Why does Samsung omit this feature is beyond me.

If you can live w/ less internal memory, than the LG Nitro HD LTE might be good.

But the dev suport on the lg will be a gamble

The skyrocket is a really good device, you might as well keep it. Your other option on ATT is the vivid which I have and is a great device. But don't worry, with this CarrierIQ thing going on right now (which seems to be ATT only and not Google, Samsung or HTC) you ptobably should be able to opt out the contract at any time since you didn't sign up for that crap...

Ciq isnt just att.....the samsung epic is the first phone i believe to be discoverd with it thats sprint, and that was discoverd almost a year ago. But i am suprised no one has tried to see if they could get out of there contract yet due to it... i believe it was k0nane who discoverd it on the epic

Then it looks like the SR is the best choice for the next 6 months or so. Honestly, I haven't even looked at new phones that were coming out for AT&T. The LG phone doesn't look appealing as there is only 4gb on board which is crazy for a smartphone these days.
Thanks for the info!!

This is my concern. The only two gripes I have about my skyrocket are the screen lines and the poor audio...The LG Nitro screen quality may be better resolution, but it is still LCD. I doubt audio is any better than what it was on the thrill. On that note...the thrill has hod absolutely no developmental improvements since I left that device over a month ago.
I have no interest in the Vivid (heavy, washed out screen, bootloader issue) so the Nitro would be my only choice at the moment and I just don't see that happening...4gb internal memory and no development....the SR will prolly be the better choice to tide me over until mid '12
We have another upgrade available next week so we may pick up a nitro to compare side by side.

Where are you seeing this? None of the reviews I've read have mentioned that. One thing that may not be widely understood is that you need to have your account provisioned to get HSPA+ data speeds. The old wap.cingular.com gateway is apparently capped in terms of data speeds. You need the IMEI of a "4G" capable AT&T phone in order to get a 4G data plan and the right code added to your account - AT&T doesn't recognize the IMEI of the GN as 4G capable. My plan is to buy the SGS2 Skyrocket with my upgrade, activate it on the 4G unlimited data plan, then sell it and use the SIM in an unlocked GN once the 32GB HSPA+ GN is available.

I read it in multiple posts here on XDA under the GN section. My line was fine with HSPA+ since I had the Atrix, and they said I wouldn't need a new SIM for the Skyrocket...which I believe since I'm getting 45mbs here in DC.

[Resolved] [Q] Which phone should I get?

Hey guys, I'm looking for a T-Mobile phone that is used and costs around $150. I'm looking at these phones:
HTC MyTouch 4G (non-slide)
HTC G2
Motorola Defy
Samsung Vibrant
Samsung Galaxy S 4G
Also, taking into consideration which has ICS and a more active dev community.
Thanks!
EDIT: I'm going for a no-contract $30 prepaid plan, forgot to add that

Go with the vibrant! Great phone. The SGS 4g (T959v) is nice but there is a larger dev community for the original. You won't be disappointed.
Edit: Don't overlook the captivate from at&t. It is easily unlocked with an app and is a great phone, large dev support as well.
What are you looking at shortbus?

:O where are you living, and, can I get some pictures of that because, that will make my day!

Would never buy Motorola, Samsung and so much about nothing at all, so much trouble with him was. So many problems with the flashing, forever's not like it, is not flashing, after the firmware is not loaded, reloaded
My choice of HTC

My wife has the Samsung Galaxy S, but its sometimes crappy with force restarts.

I am leaning towards the Galaxy S because I bought GTA 3 on one of my old phones and it was laggy on that one (it had an adreno 205)

consider the htc one x
with his quadcore processor you're good for a few years

My vote goes for HTC One X too. Tegra 3 is overrated, but too many developers start to consider that as main platform for development.

He wants phones that are affordable guys!!! lol But if I had to I would get a Samsung Galaxy S 4G and get straight talk for $45 Unlimited everything!!!.
Now for high end phones... the GS3 is deffinently the KING!

I live in Washington D.C. I will post some pics up later today for you. Believe me I really looked into it before I bought my captivate. I also have a vibrant. These are really great devices. Flashing is really easy, no need to worry about s-on/off like HTC devices. I also have an HTC my touch 3g slide aka espresso and I prefer the Samsungs hands down.

get the galaxy s 4g i have the int version and its still my daily phone

Let me start out by saying I'm not advocating piracy or any illegal activities but you can get alot of cool new games from 4shared. Hypothetically you could get the apk for these games to try and see how they work on your device before purchasing. Please purchase these games and apps to help support the development and continuation of great apps on the market.

I like the look and feel of the captivate more than the vibrant myself. Anyways, you can flash different bands? link me to the instructions please!

I don't use minutes if any at all, that's why im going with tmobile (and saving 5 bucks a month while im at it )

I'll be buying a phone within the next 2 days, can someone confirm if captivate can work with tmobile 3g? I've looked all over and everyone says it only works with edge
thankyou!

[VIDEO] AIO Wireless (Owned by AT&T) Galaxy S4 Speed Test

Hey guys... So I thought I might cover this new wireless carrier since I have some of the newer AT&T devices laying around. What's great about it is that you don't have to unlock an AT&T device... One thing to note though is that you're not going to get AT&Ts network @ full speed even when you're not throttled. This is despite the fact that you can connect to LTE towers.
So far I've tested the:
AT&T Galaxy S4
Verizon Note 2 (HSPA+)
Next on the block is the:
HTC One
LG Optimus G Pro
Please like and subscribe IF you're interested in this carrier. New channel always needs all the help it can get.

Looks like this MVNO will die quickly ....

Since it is owned by AT&T, they can tweak it or pour as much money into it as they want so we'll see.
If they want to unthrottle it, I'm sure they can in less than a day.
Current speeds of them on par with Cricket and MetroPCS.
My 16 meg download on HSPA+ and the Verizon Note 2 completed in what most would consider an acceptable time.

Lots of throttling
- sent from Galaxy S4

I just did a test with the HTC One and it was coming in at 3000kbps less.
I'll find a better area of Houston to do a test where the device can achieve full speed.
I've had speeds of 69000kbps+ with AT&T.

You cannot use it on Verizon. Verizon is a CDMA carrier. The only way it will work on Verizon would be data / LTE only. No calls/sms. In the USA that phone will only work on AT&T/T-Mobile or any other GSM carrier.

WOW! Now this really effed up my day My galaxy s6 edge plus through Verizon just ended up getting it's screen eat by my car door and I figured I would at least be able to unlock my old G3 and go on abiut my day but now itlooklike my problem just gotten Even worst.

That sucks :/. If your willing to sign a 2 year contract BestBuy has most of the new samsungs for $1 Also if your willing to add a line and keep it for at least 3 months you get $300 off if you trade in a phone. I recently got two G4s by adding lines ending up making $100 lol.
I love the G4. I cannot say about the V10. I don't like the upper screen personally I don't think it's useful. But the v10 is a great phone though.

spare Samsung Nexus 5 phone to use as a Wifi bridge/repeater 2.4ghz and 5ghz with nat

I have a spare LG Nexus 5 / or Samsung Galaxy S4 rooted and fully available and on happily ready for my next vacation in a resort in Mexico. I will bring it with my 12000 rechargeable battery.
As I can only have 1 wifi connection, I would like to use this phone as a bridge (with natting) to my 4 devices (ipad, my wife's phone and mine...) when I will be at the swiming pool of the resort.
In my room, I already have a Linksys E2500 that can do that job bridging the uplink at 5ghz and serving the 2.4ghz to my 4 devices.
What would you recommand ? is there an already project ?
Thanks

NO, you don't.
LG made the 2013 gen5 Nexus 5 (and 2012 gen4 Nexus 4).
Samsung made the gen3 2011 Galaxy Nexus.
So, what do you REALLY have?
