Upgrading to GS5 - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

Who else is upgrading to the gs5 just because your jump upgrade is now eligible or just because you want the latest and greatest.

Contemplated while it was still in leaks, but then saw the actual product.
I really love the removable battery, and the SD card slot. But come on, that design. I always discourage people from HTC, but this time I just can't go with Samsung. It'd be impossible for me. That or the G3.

I'd need to hear you can root and flash without tripping Knox.
I would hate it if my phone said sea android not enforcing on start up.

I agree, but I don't care about tripping Knox. As long as I can root and flash fine, I'm good. That's why I'll only get it after it gets root.

I would move to HTC but I hate the fact that they are moving away from removable batteries. Big big decisions

I don't care about tripping Knox or my warranty. But, I don't want the warning message on start up.
If I could just block it or something I'd be happy.

The only reason I'd go to the gNex is if it's the only LTE phone out by the time LTE hits me area.

Oh, it'll be out probably the same time it's predecessors have been previous years.
Around August/September. I could be wrong, but that's my speculation. SGSII is selling too well to jump to the SG3.
Unless HTC steps up their game, Galaxy Note if it goes to sprint, or gs3. I really don't have any use for gnex.

It isn't worth an upgrade but if I had neither phone I'd choose the gnex.
Since this one is on the same level or higher its def. Not worth an upgrade.

Can't lie, in November when I'm eligible for an upgrade, I'm taking the best that's out. I have no self control when it comes to this kind of thing.
I'm not 100% sure on this but my friend said that he read that the s3 was going to be a simoutanious world wide launch. So apparently we getting at the same time as overseas. Again I haven't researched it yet so sorry if incorrect.

How many manufacturing plants do they have?

[Q] Question for Sprint Employees or members with Sprint "connection"

Is there any sign/hint that Samsung's Note or better Note2 would be offered as Sprint phone?
Thanks,
PS Just asking because it's time to upgrade, but willing to wait for Note 2 vs get GSIII.
What's wrong with the gs3.?.

There's no evidence yet, but I don't see why not. The original Note was a bigger success than Samsung anticipated and it'd be even bigger if it was on all four carriers. With the SGSIII, Samsung tried more of a unified launch, so it is feasible that they'd do something similar with the Note. They've got a launch announcement coming soon, so I guess we will see then. It's all up to Sprint.
I swore I saw a post somewhere that said the note 2 was in fact coming to sprint... Lemmee go lookee....

Phone stolen today.
I've suspended the service and tried to use plan b with no success.
I have insurance with tmo.
Is there any way I can locate it+how much will it be to replace via insurance claim?

If you have insurance it shouldn't cost more than $40 to get a replacement.

Cops won't waste the resources for a phone that is not worth it.
Report it to T-Mobile and they will put the IMEI on a black list that it can never be used again...
I got a replacement via asurion
I'm not sure whether my stolen phone was imei blacklisted but they said it's now deactivated.
Actually pretty happy because my phone had tons of lines and a few scrapes+ scratched

Elnovato when you got your phone back was it the same one or a different one that was a refurbished?
I'm curious because I need to send mine in for the battery as it's mildly warped and causes the phone to reboot when jostled, but it's lame as Samsung wants me to send the whole phone in rather then just the battery. I don't want to if they give a refurbished one back.

Can't wait to get mine back from Samsung repair center to hopefully see the same update if not a newer one!.
If it comes loaded with a December 4.1.2 firmware I will be doing a system dump on it for sure!. ^_^
Oh btw how long was it until you got it back in the mail? The tech guy on the phone said I will be it back in 2 weeks tops, I hope sooner though I miss my Note II so bad!. However I'm using an S2 as a back up lol.

Don't give a crap about the watch.
Guess what? They'll write the pairing code just like all the other Sammy-exclusive hardware like AllShare etc...so that rooting your handset to not spend a year waiting for a TWiz update will break any connectivity with the rest of the Sammy device ecosystem.
As to the Note2 and s3 update. Hope springs eternal. I'll believe it when I see it.
I'm lucky enough to have expendable income. I'll have the Note 3 day1. But I refuse to become **** Tracy with that watch.
