the Anker batteries werent bad im going look into them for this phone .i dont like plugging my phone up with a cord it seems to put too much wear and tear on the connections. Just when you flash alot of roms like i was doing its pretty useless to try and get a battery calibrated to a rom if you know tomorrow or the next day youll be running something else so battery life on a rom dont mean squat to me thats why ill just buy a couple extra so when one is starting to die you just pop in another

Thank you for joining us. And that.k you in advance for all the hard work you will put in. XD

I was thinking after the first one to switch already but I really wanted the camera from the amaze. I'm a Photographer so it was hard but after taking a good hard look, the s2 didn't have that much of a difference. Plus when I finally did the switch, this phone was on sale for 88 bucks. I paid 188 for the amaze. So when I did switch I got money back because they had to honor the sale price. So I got a better phone for me and for 100 bucks back

It seems all they're doing is vomiting phones to us and rushing these damn incomplete devices. The sensation had an amazing community but nothing to save it's hardware and battery problems. These stupid companies need to slow down and make something great. I'm an HTC fan and just waiting for them to make something nice that I can replace my Galaxy with. Sorry guys.

The only problem that HTC devices have imo is Sense. The G1 was great for the couple years I had it. Look at the G2!! Great phone because it's running vanilla Android.
Sense = Fail
Always syncing in the background, taking up resources, and bogging the phone down. ESPECIALLY on the Mytouch 3G slide (oh what a mess that phone is). Every time someone walks into my store with a MT3G slide i think, "oh boy here we go" lol
Even on the HD2 windows phone!! The solution we gave a lot of customers was to turn Sense off and it solved pretty much everyone's problems with that phone.
Lol couldn't agree more. Sense is definitely eye candy, but i end up removing most of the stuff with titanium backup. I enjoy some things from there but eh. Seems to me like the mt4g was the last quality phone by them. The one with the good display at least. I remember getting 4 hours display time with that bad boy and that was running sense. Glad we have tdj and rk from there lol

I hear ya haha. I used to hate WM6.5 sooo much and was super hyped when I found out android had been ported over. That phone was one of the best over ever had, si many customization option when it came to ROMs. They even have ICS already. I would have kept it had it not been for the catastrophic drop that ruined the display

Anyways, What's up all! Gonna start reading now.

There's a couple options for ICS. SBrissen's CM9 build with SteadyHawkin's FB17 kernel is almost flawless, minus USB hosting.
Calkulin has a Touchwiz based ICS leak from Sprint/Samsung that works pretty much perfectly.
To the OP: Congrats man! You're gonna love the phone. You got here just in time for the serious development to pick up.
Congrats don't scratch it so you can sell it when the nexus comes out. Lol joking.....kinda

I just got an E4GT from a buddy last week. I miss the kick stand, but enjoying everything else. I wonder if it seems so much faster due to dual core or if the Xynos processor is just that much better than the Snapdragon.

So far GREAT phone, The "Hello Galaxy" is like Siri. Cool trick, not sure if I'll keep it though. Boot speeds, snappiness, damn near everything's looking good.
Thanks all for the regards. I was on a waiting list for 2 months to get my EVO 4G and would hate to send it out to pasture.
So what have all of you done with your old EVO's and other smart phones, now that its about that time for most upgrades? Keep it around for games etc? Miniature tablet for the coffee table? Just curious...
I have evo 4g and it has battery issues
also it has started hanging lately, not behaving well
I would like to have s2
I am eligible for upgrade but dont want to shell out 300$ for 2 phones

Sorry to hear that, are you Rooted? Once you have root check out this script, it helped my Evo4G tremendously. My Evo runs Miui ROM; But there is a script for Sense and AOSP:

I bought a few after market batteries from Amazon for my Evo, 1900mah and i've not had a problem at all with battery.
Hope that helps. What will you do with your EVO once you do upgrade?

Found a broken screen epic 4g touch

Found this on the side of the road. The ESN is bad and the screen is shattered. I posted it under lost and found on CL but no one claimed it "correctly" Just took it down after a month. Whats it worth? It does work 100%.
I guess it's worth its weight as a standalone Android device. With a bad ESN, you won't be hooking it up to the Sprint network. It'll cost to have the screen replaced. You could use it as a media player at home or something, hooked up to your stereo.
You could offer it to a dev so they don't have to brick their own phone when testing releases.

give it to koush so we can haz cwm
Send it to a dev! I would say give it darchstar so he can use it to speed up his cm9 port but I am sure any of the devs would love to have it.
Does the phone still power on? Is the LCD broken, or just the front glass?
edit: I support giving it to koush for proper clock work mod support as well.
Yea donate, contribute to the greater good of mankind.
It was probably left on the roof of a car and flew off, the owner called it in missing.
Put up a poll with all of the Dev's and see who gets the most votes. I would suggest Calk or Agat.
i agree on donating it to darchstar, just flashed CM9 and it is awesome!!
Agreed Donate to Dev
Send it to Koush...He use to have one, idk what happened to it

T-Mobile isn't doing pre-orders on the S3. Its a release day only purchase. I'll be going back to Sammy from my short stint with the ONe S. Why don't you just sell your one S so you can get the S3. And ask your mom for the rest. :what:

[Moved]Upgrade soon[Help.Plz&Ty]

Hello all!
It'd be nice to get some guidance on my upgrade (Yes, i know some just think.. "aww ****, to hell with all these ppls upgrade posts" so if that person is you, don't bother givin me **** for moving on. everyone does. thanks.)
First of all,
It sucks balls to leave this awesome community.
I've learned a sh*t-ton about my Epic and many other things from some very respected people, who all friggen rock. lol.
Soo, onto my topic & small dilemma.
The upgrade date is Dec. 1st, 2012. Although, I love the style & feel of my Epic, I may be heading towards something a bit different. I have gone down to the Sprint store and checked out some really cool devices but I'm kind of sitting here scratching my head because I'm very picky, luckily though, I was (offf coursee) drawn to the Galaxy S III.
Given its lightening fast 1.5GHz dual-core processors,2100 mAh Lithium Ion battery (9hrs talk time), beautiful (yet kinda big) display (4.8" to be exact), the JB OS, 16/32GB memory, 2GB RAM and other things here and there. Now, the Note II, damn dude, talk about a big display. That one takes the cake. Idk if I could really be happy/satisfied with such a monster display ... 5.5" ?? & I know thats not THAT much bigger than the S III but in hand you'll see the difference.
On the other hand, theS Pen™, 3100 mAh Lithium Ion battery (15hrs talk time), 1.6 GHz Samsung Exynos Quad-core processors alone sounds damn good to me. The only thing that bothers me (obviously) is the bigger display.. So I'm considering other devices because these 2 devices give me a headache sometimes lol.
Anyway, my options & opinions are open for anything.. I'm not tooo picky and my mind is NOT set on just those 2 phones.. I was just throwing them out there because I like 'em both. 
One thing..
Don't even think about mentioning the iPhone's,  that is one phone I'd just piss on nd save the p.o.s as a weapon against the zombies, then let those retards have at it (hopefully piss on it too.)
So, apart from that, I'd like to hear some input from you guys n gals.
&maybe even whoever has upgraded from the Epic and is happy with their pick.. Your wisdom, knowledge & opinions are appreciated! either way its all good so let me know!  Thank you in advance.

Why not still stick with keyboards? America variants of S3 ALL SUCKS to me. Now on market you can have LG Mach, Moto Photon Q and (later) Verizon Stratosphere 2... And if I were you I would definitely first consider a Nexus 4 (all powerful and better than S3, though have to wait for a bit)

Trust me bro my eyes have been open for some decent devices with physical keyboards that have at least like dual processors, so far I haven't seen much.
Prolly because I have Sprint nd Sprint doesn't have the biggest selection of pretty good phones (like the Nexus). I wish. I don't see many disadvantages with getting the SGSIII, imo. But everybody feels different.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Your best bet is still the 2 threads in General that I recommended to you. But the S3 is awesome but you will miss the keyboard for a few months. Samsung seems to have listened and fixed everything we complained about of both Epics S and S2.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Yes I've been reading through those threads the last couple days or so. Its hard to say, because if Id like to keep the physical keyboard then, to my knowledge, I have one choice: Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE. Unless I were to go with the S III. Are you happy with the S III?

I am very happy with the S3. It is light years ahead of the Epic. I will not lie and say I don't miss my keyboard but the voice to text is really very good and getting used to the on screen keyboard in landscape.

Yeah, exactly, on one side of the coin it's new improved technologies and all. Then on the other, there's no keyboard but I figure i'll get used to that.
Kenny, I believe your just the man for guidance here lol. You have great knowledge on this and you switched from the Epic to the SIII. Like I said in my op, I'm looking for input from someone who has done that.
So I suppose i'm asking you if you think the SIII might be the one for me.. ?
Since your happy with the switch and you've been a big help from the start with me.

Plus, I came across this thread: Sprint offers SIII for $49 on Black Friday...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34349652
Although, this is before my upgrade, could I just simply go in and buy the phone and activate it on my upgrade day (Dec. 1st) ??
lol don't really kno how that works.
Thanks.

No. They can't give you that price without an eligible upgrade line. You will get used to the keyboard or lack there of. The phone is truly amazing with 4 times the RAM and 16 times the phone storage plus an available sd card slot. When I got it all I did was root and run stock for a month because if was so damn fast and smooth. You won't be disappointed. Call Sprint to see if you can move your upgrade up a week.

I called and got it figured out. I think tmrw my upgrade will be eligible if I pay the $50. If I send my Epic to them, they said I'll get $28 for it and the $50 will be billed to my sprint account next pay. So, basically, if I go for it, I'll be paying $72 for the early upgrade and a new SIII not bad eh? It sounds like a deal. I can't imagine 4x the RAM lol that is a huge improvement, not to mention the other awesome specs and features that come with it.
It very well may be the SGSIII for me... Hey and if it is maybe Ill be bugging you even more for help
Im sure I'll decide to root it and flash a nice stock rom.

Hmmm...I may release something this weekend over there and let The People support it as they have here. The Epic community are the best.

Outstanding! I knew you'd figure it out, your the mastermind of operations! haha
I LUCKILY received my SIII today, at first they told me they were sold out and I got there an hour after they opened! No one had even gone there and gotten one yet... AND THEY WERE SOLD OUT?! wtf?..
So, since they love me oh so dearly there, they had a couple stashed away and grabbed one for me. Like I said, luckily. lol
I had a question though, maybe you have the answer lol, do you know if the SIII is root-able withoutt Odin via starting the Odin flash counter ? Or should I not worry about it and just buy a usb jig when the time comes?
Thanks Kenny

Use Odin to root then Triangle Away to reset the flash counter.
