No...
Just kidding lol, it was a GREAT move!
Get ready to taste the future!
With amazing features and just amazingness! If you don't love the phone then there's something seriously wrong with you lol. Although I can say that the sound is better on the htc one since it had dual speakers. But other than that, you're gonna experience one great battery phone! The minimum I've ever had was 2hr on-screen time, and the max was 5hr on a single charge! Speaking of charging, it charges really fast! I can go on and on but I don't really have much time to type a full response! Hope you found this helpful

I can tell you it's not as good as the note 2's battery but that's a bigger phone so it needs something to keep it up. So if you look at it like that it's equivalent in a way, but I can say it's better than the s3's.

Whats everyone. Just moved here from an HTC amaze 4g. After 6 amazes, yeah I kept getting hardware problems mostly screen problems. I got sick of it. I decide to move away from HTC because always hardware problems. Dont get me wrong though it was a awesome phone. Anyways, see how my experience is.

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

Its amazing.
Fast, good support (look for yourself in android development ), good amount of accessories.
The battery is not the greatest, so that may be a problem for you. I get about 3 hours of screen on time with all 3g. So if that's enough for you, you should be fine
I personally didn't get the s3 because it was not pentaband and I'm on wind so I could only get the dual core version, so I decided to keep this until the new nexus comes out.

So I recently had a friend tell me his s3 hasnt been doing very well for him speed and service wise(he has sprint) and I did some digging around on google and some forums to try to help him out.. and the more I researched the more I saw posts about all the issues with the s3... problems with it charging to horrible battery and reception to other things I can't remember now.. and Im here thinking to my self.. man I LOVE THIS DEVICE. On full stock rooted I really have no issues.. my battery lasts reception is ok for me in Miami.. not the best but certainly not bad. I really dont have any problems that would make me want to return the phone. Im curious to know how other users feel about this beast and what some of your experiences are... tips and general experiences are welcome..
Lets hear it

Amazing device I'm runnning stock no problem but rooted with a custom kernel ! It's DOPE! Your friend obviously hasn't had a single-core phone or a blackberry! (jokes) loool!
Is that a serious question
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I think i agree with your friend. The Sprint's S3 does suck. My uncle has a Sprint S3 and it is a bit laggy compared to mine...so maybe its not the phone itself, but the network carrier. So radio/baseband has to be culprit for everything thats weighing the phone down.
I also had the s2 international version that worked flawless (and I flashed the hell out of that thing) but my sprint buddies all had complaints..
I forgot to mention in OP that some of the bad reviews I read also included our tmobile model.. but I am incredibly happy with mine.
Sent from a device high on jelly beans.
I had virgin mobile(Sprint owned prepaid) and service was good in terms of making a call, but data speeds were inconsistent at best. I also had numerous problems with text not going through. I would expect sprint to have at least some of these problems

I too love my T-MO GS3, by far the best Android phone I have ever owned. I live in Miami and I get regular speeds of 15mps to 18mps. I have rooted, flashed, themed(international forums) and this phone has given me no problems what so ever.
And remember, most people who have no problens with the phone aren't going to post about it online. Its much easier to find out what went wrong for people because they always come online loking for help!
That silent majority is, I imagine, quite massive considering the millions of these phones that have been sold! That's a lot of happy people going about their lives without ever needing to seach for help!

I really have no issue with the S3 on t-mobile. This is the first Android phone I have with great battery, fast, lot of available memory for the apps to fly,... Great reception and I think I pick up 4G at some places that would be on Edge or 3G when using the S2 or Sensation.
I like it but I don't love it! I'm considering the galaxy note 2 or the next iPhone.

I like both, my god its just phones... an enemy in my definition is someone who has crossed me.. you do know there would be no android without apple right? The guy who created android worked at apple & stole key features. That' why jobs said he will fight android until he dies.

So you change ROMS during the week/weekend? I never thought of doing that - I guess Titanium helps? Sorry. I'm still a slight N00b. I just rooted but am keeping it stock for now. I just Dl'd Titanium but am confused on how to use it. Guess that's for another thread lol.
Is there a way to make sure titanium doesn't restore bad backup data? (I don't use it for this reason. Wanna make sure my ROM stays clean)
The battery lasts all day for the most part. Its so snappy. Love it too!

Hi all just wondering something i know it might sound stupid but anyways...
So i see that there is alot of themes on the play store for cm10.1 and one of them cost 1.99$ (which is great) but it has 5000+ download does that mean that themer just earned himself 10000$??? If so that is just crazy.

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
After taxes... Much less. Google takes quite a bit. And that all depends on how long the theme has been out. That could have been over a period of two years or so. If you wanna do the math again he actually is only really getting 1.40$ per purchase.

First impressions are that people are disappointed as its laggy because of so much bloat. Also cant be unlocked. I was seriously considering the s4. Now I'm not so sure.
I also looked at the One but it seems too small to me.

Samsung rep stopped by my sprint store today and demod the s4...i experienced no lag, even throwing heavy tasks at it, and found no more bloatware than the note 2. there are certainly a few new additions like the s health and what not...but how can a few extra apps ever weigh down on a quad core + 2 gb of ram...those comments are bogus the s4 is as amazing as the note 2, minus the extra inch and the pen
I have been reading the same comments actually. I think the reaction is expected because everyone who is getting it is expecting it to be twice as good if not more than everything else out there. Expectations are just to high for that phone..
With that being said, I still might get it. I am just going to wait a few weeks to see what people are saying about it then. When people start to come back to reality.
