T-Mobile Galaxy S4 Discussion Thread - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

Opening this thread to talk about the Samsung Galaxy GS4 (T-Mobile Version)
Samsung will be launching this device in 4 or so versions (Storage/Color wise).
My guess is that the device will launch in late April 2013 (Next Month)
So, Let's go ahead and talk!
(Ps. I'll update this thread when I get the device release date)

Worth a bump since I haven't seen a thread like this.

It will most likely have its own section
S4 INFO

Well, It'll end up being how the T-Mobile/Verizon etc split up into different sections.

I like cheese

Just take a look at the gs3. They have different devices for each carrier. It's a shame since it splits the development communities.

It splits the development community BUT. The T-Mobile S III could flash AT&T/T-Mobile ROM'S.

can't wait for more info to come. i'll be making the switch from AT$T to T-Mob with this phone quite possibly. trying to stick with my dev team though so we'll see

AT&T to T-Mobile!
Woo! If that happens, can't the dev team expand? ;~)
Btw, T-Mobile is getting 4G LTE like Verizon.

Actually ROMs were easily portable between the devices. So it really didn't split the community.

I believe anyone can order it then? I haven't seen restrictions relating to payment type.
Also, talked to T-Mobile Support and they told me online sales "generally" begin at 12AM PST.

I was with Sprint about 15 years and they barely tried to stop me. Was promised 1 more upgrade in 2012 after I bought my E4GT with the premier program. Customer Service even noted my account. Told me in 3 months I will see my upgrade eligibility for Oct 2012. Didn't see it so called Sprint. After going up the chain and speaking to supervisors, the last person I spoke to actually saw the note on my account and even read it back to me. Said I was lied to and the rep gave me the wrong information and he cannot honor it.
He said usually I would let someone out of contract ETF free for this but since I can already get out for free because of the discount change there is nothing he can do. After being on the phone with him for 2 hours not believing he won't honor what I was told with the proof written in my account, he said I can give you a $50 credit if you want to stay and for your time on the phone just now. I said piece out and canceled mine and my wife's line.
Sprint used to care about their long time customers, not anymore so I saw no reason to stay with them...
Nice to see you over here!

Yeah source is lacking. I've followed all the rumors and at&t and Verizon have been pretty quiet in the rumor mills.
Sprint have officially announced a Oct 25 release date though
T-Mobile has a leaked image stating the 24th, but that was a week and half ago, but supposedly another leak shows that demo devices are being sent to stores
Heard T-Mo confirmed in stores this week.
Anyone hear same thing for At&t?
AT&T just announced Pre-order Oct. 25th with it being available Nov. 9 in all stores.

But I am new to the Droid world. Aren't sprint and verizon looked down upon for late/slow updates and locked phones?
That and Sprint plans don't include mobile hot spot..which puts them on par cost wise with the new shared plans at AT&T and Verizon.

Due to your newness most DROID users root their phone so upgrading is not up to carriers, and I have sprint and I get upgrades as soon as a rom permits

I called a sprint store and talked to this sprint rep that i had a conversation at the store with a while ago and he seems to be quite up to date and knowledgeable. he called the october 25th release before sprints big announcement. anyway he said earlier today that sprint stores should be getting the phones either tomorrow or thursday. the rumors of the 25th being a preorder date are most likely false, and i trust this guy enough to believe that we should be able to stop in at a sprint store thursday morning and pick up the best phone to date
hope you guys are as excited as i am
Does anybody know what the full price will be for the phone on sprint? Thanks

Verizon makes it pretty hard to get into the cookie jar while Sprint lets you in.
Sprints Galaxy S2 leaks flood development thanks to member "Sextape" thus xda development is pretty busy on device.
"Sextape" dropped Sprint leak for Sprint GN2 a couple weeks ago device not released so that's a good sign for things to come.

Yes...i am trying to learn the droid terminology. I've had an iPhone for 5 years and have only been concerned with Jailbreaking that.
Could you explain what people mean when I read "Verizon's phone has a locked bootloader". I took that as saying you couldn't root it to install the new rom.
Might want to update the title.

Verizon makes Samsung put up roadblocks that delay development from cracking bootloader / obtaining root.
There's always worry crack cant be achieved but it does so no worries.

Locked bootloader basically just means you cant flash a custom kernel (i know its more im trying to keep it simple). Devs sometimes have workarounds for roms like kexec on the GS3 for instance.
With the note 2 i dont think ill be flashing it despite being a flashaholic for 4 years now. Just root to get rid of the bloat.
Thanks for the info everyone. Sorry of this is getting off topic.
So Samsung wants us to be able to do this, so there aren't any warranty issues? Where as Sony/HTC track who does it? Or are there work arounds for that too?

Actually, Samsung's the only one that tracks it...

multi screen....

I dont see any other posts for this so here goes...
Is there any eta of when the multi view update will be available for our phone?
And this kind of leads me to my second question... I got the phone with the $250 down and you pay an extra $20 a month but the plan itself is 20 dollars cheaper (just jumped ship from att for unlimited data). Should I have just bought the international/unlocked one, seeing as how it would have worked with the 42 hspa+ anyway... updates will be much faster for that phone and more from.selection too... just thinking.. would have multi window now if I get that one instead...
Lol you certainly need to look at the single screen properly before you ask about multiview. ..lol.But seriously theirs at least three separate posts about it saying that we need to wait for the update for this and a few more features to be enabled.

The Verizon Gnote 2 is rumored to have multiwindow enable out of box. If that's true then an update SHOULD happen slightly before or after. If not then people should raise hell as it is obviously ready with Europe, Asia, and Verizon having it enable.

Yes just the battery.
Now that the Feds are involved (CPSC), I will be shocked, and presently surprised, if they move this quickly. I dropped back to my developer edition of the Note 3 (custom ROM and custom kernel) to wait it out. Love the N7, even without an unlocked bootloader. My local corporate Verizon store has been very helpful. Not particularly worried about successfully trading in my N7 when the fixed ones are in stock, regardless of some "return date". Not sure if a local store manager, or someone higher up the food chain would want to be on the business end of a federal recall.

As always, thanks for jumping in. Much appreciated for sharing what know.
The lack of coordination with the CPSC is also affecting carriers' ability to help with the recall. The WSJ reports that while Samsung has sent an unknown number of Note 7 units to mobile operators, they aren't allowed to distribute them until they receive approval from the CPSC.

If what the Verge is reporting is accurate - that is good and bad. It would mean that most likely Verizon stores have new notes already - bad news is they have to wait on the CPSC to release them - which could take who knows how long.

You and me both. I just switched to verizon and got the note 7 about 3 days before the recall was announced. Very disappointed with this situation.
Do you think they will be any cheaper now?
