Samsung Galaxy S II Receives Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich MIUI ROM

http://phandroid.com/2011/11/08/sam...ives-android-4-0-ice-cream-sandwich-miui-rom/

dang, why couldn't our version be a gsm and coma, the photon had a gsm radio so did the 4s. if i could go back the hero and the eve weren't gsm, probably because sprint didn't want us to old on to them for long time. On the side note we don't even have mini, ICS will test epic 4g touch owners patience.

What did you say?

Say what now?

What, are you kidding me? You know, I had att before I switched to sprint. I wanted the sgs2 so badly that I canceled carriers because I didnt want yo wait a week. Looks like this is another reason why I shot myself in the foot.
Oh well, any ideas on if this might get ported to our phones?

Ill correct this:
Hot damn! Why couldn't our version be more like the gsm? The photon has a gsm radio, so does the 4s. I wish I could go back the Hero or the Evo, but sprint doesn't want us to hold on to phones for a long peroid of time. On a side note, we still don't even have MIUI. ICS will test the epic 4g touch owners patience.

EVO LTE or GSIII?

What are you planning on upgrading to? I think I'll be going to the GSIII unless the specs end up being a flop.

Galaxy S III...no questions about it. I'm not due to upgrade til november, but since I'll be graduating next month, I may just pony up and 'treat' myself.

One exists. The other does not. So, this question is a little premature.

I'm actually planning on upgrading to the Galaxy Nexus.

Sure I was hoping that the evo LTE would look much better, but it has amazing specs. I think I am going to grab it, stick my evo on a pre-paid, so I can still play with it of course.

I can't stand the build quality of any Samsung I've touched. I preordered my OG Evo, and been happy ever since. Tempted to preorder Evo lte, but would sure like to check out build quality first. I hated the materials they used on Evo 3d.

Check it out HTC EVO 4G LTE definitely has superior build quality...
Get to know the HTC EVO 4G LTE

I've been considering the Evo 4G LTE but thing I hate about it is the fact that it does not have a removable battery.

Evo 4G LTE
I would probably get the Evo Lte depending on how well the GS3 performs. I played with the GS2 and honestly, it was garbage. I'm still rocking the original Evo because the 3D was a let down. Hope this helps!

EVO LTE is my choice. My OG is still the best for me. Never let me down even when I did by dropping it several times. Just keeps going and going. I am putting my money on HTC.

Unless the GSIII blows everything out of the water, I'm getting the 4G LTE.
But I am concerned about Sprint's LTE coverage.

I'm currently with Verizon I have the galaxy nexus but wish I stayed with t mobile or went with att,I had a g1 on release day ordered my nexus 1 when it was available for pre orders. purchased the nexus s, but returned it ASAP because of bugs and reboots. I'm not knocking Verizon, because their network is phenomenal compared to tmobile, but I had so much freedom with tmobile hardware wise the galaxy nexus old but superior to other phones because of its software in only saying that I will no longer purchased anything but a nexus.

I think the OP's point was GSM Nexus > CDMA Nexus, but he's stuck on a CDMA network. Thus, he was expecting to get flamed

Pretty much.

my GF has a LTE Nexus, and i have a GSM model. my phone is far more stable with regards to radio stability. her phone is a mess when it comes to LTE/CDMA handoffs.
i should probably check for a radio update for her phone...

^Mine doesn't! It's been solid all around since day 1. :good:

At this point in time the gsm Nexus is one of the best deals around. I've been kicking myself for a while now for going with verizon and not prepaid. $350 for the phone and $50 or less a month for service is crazy cheap compared to Verizon or any other postpaid.
The way google did everything, I suspect they planned on this phone hitting its stride 6-8 months after it's release. When the unsubsidized price dropped to reasonable levels, BAM they put it up for sale themselves and put Jellybean on it making the Nexus a superphone that is semi affordable.

I don't get plagued by all these radio issues people talk about.
Having a GSM Nexus isn't possible for me so I'm happy with my CDMA Nexus and I don't think any less or more of the GSM variant.

If only At&t would offer unlimited data I would never have this CDMA crap again.

I have a VZW Galaxy Nexus and I agree with you guys even though I have no rational proof to support my claim.
Please indulge my anecdotal justification instead:
It feels like the GSM versions are better supported, maybe not in the dev community (it still seems like all of the development who provide updates also have GSM versions and I'm very curious to know if any of them use the VZW version as their main phone.) That may or may not be the case but CDMA support from manufacturers seems to be an afterthought at times. VZW doesn't even get some of the nicer phones sometimes. They really came through with getting us the original Droid though. That was a great phone. I haven't had a phone yet that I've liked as much as I liked the Droid when it was new.
I still have to point out that where I live my VZW Nexus still gets me more reliable service (even with its assinine bounces between 3g/LTE in my office) than anyone using a phone on any other carrier. Having a great flashy phone with the latest updates does little good if you can't get online. Sure my coworker gets 40MB/s up and down when he's at the north side of our building but he has to tether to me if he wants to get online where we spend most of the day.
If I spent a lot of time where I could get reliable GSM connections at the price I'm paying VZW with my discount, I'd switch in a heartbeat.

Continue..... Please. I am considering dropping Sprint in a month or tow and am looking for the best GSM plan. T-Mobile has it for $30 a month, 100 minutes, unlimited text, unlimited data but 5GB @ 4g speed.

Why couldn't sprint include 4G with 4G LTE on GS3?

Since sprint is going to take atleast year or more to roll out 4G LTE all over US, they should have included 4G capabilities with S3. Do you guys agree?

If 3G was better on your GS3 then your GS2 then i would suggest flashing different modems until you find one that works well.
I did this before i got my GS3 and found not all modems are created equal when it came to the GS2.

How to get sprint to replace evo lte with s3?

Hey guys, I currently have a evo lte and well..... It's a true PoS.
This thing won't even connect to 4g while a s3 right next to me will, among other connection/reception/service issues.
I've heard people getting they're evo lte replaced by sprint for a s3. Just called and they want to downgrade to something worse.
Any help?

Is your phone in lte mode under mobile networks or something, if it is update your profile and prl to try and get lte. As far as how to get a S3 simply sell your phone and buy a S3. The price difference shouldn't be much at all if you shop around and do research.

You can't get sprint to change your phone to the gs3 its possible but you have to have got your phone replaced more than 4 times and each replacement can't be more than a month a part and that is rare I did that I came from the galaxy nexus. But mine were legit replacents I wasn't trying to scam them if you want to exchange to a gs3 I would suggest maybe replacing your phone and if that doesn't work then just sell it and buy a gs3
