Nexus S 4G announced for Sprint... - Hero CDMA General

http://goo.gl/juc8e

Well, I thought Sprint was going to announce that tomorrow. I wonder if they are going to replace that announcement with the Atrix and Xoom.

Guess this means EVO 3D announcement is around the corner, ha. Odd time to release this, but hey, maybe it won't sell like crap, and show Sprint/Samsung that hey, manufacturer skins are garbage, keep it stock. Well, one can hope...

I think the AT&T - TMobile merger must have triggered this.

Wow this is not going to be an easy choice next upgrade... can't wait for reviews on the 3d
HTC SuperHero Vanilla/Gingerbread 2.3.3 all credit to AOSP

The idea of a "pure Google experience" is very enticing, but if the HTC EVO 3D becomes a reality also, this upgrade I've been sitting on for a couple months goes to HTC. The 2 side by side, I don't think the Nexus brand is enough to persuade me to give Sammy another try.

I like the idea of a stock Android phone on Sprint, and sure, it's a overall great phone, but it's still 7-8 month old tech. Sure, the 3D is going to have Sense sadly, but I can't imagine the development scene for that beast being small.

Sure, it will have Sense, but from what I understand, it's upgraded Sense, and with far more horsepower pushing it, it may not be so bad.

I like the nexus S but i want a bigger screen. 4.8 or 5" is what i want. I have a bad feeling the new Evo 3d Will be at least 350$ with contract. I dont know why i could get a nex if i could have a dual core 3d evo for the same price.

Oh, it'll definitely run smooth I'm sure, I just really, really, really dislike basically everything about it's appearance, way it handles certain things (contact stuff and etc), and whatnot. At least there is basically no way there won't be a great development scene for it.

Major Improvements of PRL xxx77

Attached below is the internal Sprint document of the recent improvements of the PRL.
Mainly for everyone who doesn't want to read and see the new coverage it turns on 3G Roaming in the following states:
- FL
- MI
- OH
- WV
- WI
- NC
"- PRLs expand 3G/Mobile Broadband roaming coverage in Florida, Michigan, Ohio, West Virginia and Wisconsin.
- PRLs also add Strategic Alliance Roaming (SRA) to portions of North Carolina. Customers will have a Sprint like experience for voice and 3G services, meaning the roaming light will be off and billed as on-network."
I'll also be writing an article describing in details exactly what is going on.
Glad to see you on here still bro
Good deal! Thanks for this...

I apologize, I misunderstood. By reading the document I thought it came out last week.
Thanks for the clarification.
I updated mine manually.
I updated mine manually since I can not receive ota updates due to the fact that I am on a custom ROM. There is a thread on how to do it in the development section. Below are the file you will need to update you PRL manually.
Thanks for posting this... always nice to see the text to go along with my analysis I do.
Now only if they would mention the dirty little tricks they do while roaming

I knew u couldn't leave us this early lol =). I been bashing the Evo 3D too as I'm not impressed with 3D & just simply being tired of all these UI's that bloats the phone down & makes getting updates seem impossible. I was either gonna keep my Epic or get the Nexus S, but the one reason I may get the new Evo is for Netflix! Also, HTC really surprised me too with the dual core processor, I really thought they were gonna throw the 2nd gen Snapdragon in it & call it a day. Now my only worry is will HTC lock down the bootloader, as they been hinting around that they're gonna start doing it going forward.

Yup, EVO 3D is the first with the 8660 processor. It will have NetFlix support. And alot of people misunderstand 3D. The phone runs in 2D, but certain applications have 3D support. Sooner or later everything will supoport 3D, but not right awhile.
The EVO 3D runs soooo smooth. I have a video of it running and it is a amazing. The new HTC Sense is awesome. I LOVE HTC Sense, I have always been an HTC fan, but the Samsung Epic impressed me too much to pass up. I had the HTC Vouge, and I made the first M2D custom rom for it, and I was the first to perfect it. The HTC Hero was my next and the Sense on that was incredible. I now see that the EVO 3D's Sense has surpassed all my expectations. I work with all the Sprint phones so I get to use everything, and by far the EVO 3D is greater then all. The LG Thrill and the Moto Atrix has nothing on it.
Trust me, the 3D is not a gimmick. This is legit and awesome! I will be getting it the day it comes out for my personal phone. HTC Sense, may be bloat to some, but it is by far the best UI out and even better then Launcher Pro IMO. I know I'll get hate mail for that, but Sense is the best UI out for Android currently.

Anyone else jumping ship to the Nexus tomorrow?

Nope...Epic 4G and/or Evo 3D
I've had a Hero for about 15 months and I'm thinking about moving on. One thing I simply cannot abide is the laggy touch and display response on all of these phones. I just watched the Evo 3D video from Engadget and was very disappointed by the slow response of the phone. That's exactly my problem with it. I want instantaneous reaction to the actions I perform. I want snappy response, not press the screen and wait several seconds for the command to be recognized (if it is recognized at all).
My Hero currently runs a freshly installed CM 7.02 (with all appropriate wipes performed) with very few installed apps. It's just slow. I learn to live with it and expect that type of sluggish performance, but it's still annoying. For anyone else who uses my phone, it's next to impossible for them to comprehend that commands aren't immediately translated into action on the phone, and it ends in them button pressing, getting frustrated, and putting the phone down or asking me for help. Sure, maybe they could be more patient, but they're also used to instantaneous response. That's what I want, too, and I'm waiting for a Sprint smartphone to provide that.
Any recommendations?

It's a great phone, since it's not weighed down by Samsung's awful software, but just too late to consider, as long as the 3D can be given the joy of CM.
Not as long as rom's are still being developed for the Hero.. Its all I need and I don't (anymore) get stuff because its new..or supposedly better.LoL. Hero does everything i need it to do...
Samsung and Motorola are dead in my eyes as far as cellphones go. The Evo 3D is the only viable upgrade.

Well, to be fair, despite any biases towards (well, against) the iPhone/iOS in general, it is very, very snappy and responsive.
No Android offering will be on par until it finally utilizes hardware acceleration, which I think SHOULD be in "Ice Cream". At least I pray it will be, as there is absolutely no reason for them to not finally implement it already. It's a little embarrassing that we are getting these dual-core beasts that still aren't quite as smooth as a year or two old iPhone... gah.

I appreciate your efforts to help me, but "this ain't my first rodeo." Or something. Certainly at some point it doesn't have to be hardware acceleration, right? Surely there is a decent multithreaded software solution for dual cores in the works, because this terrible lag is difficult to put up with. When I need the phone to work FAST, it works slowly, like when I'm driving and just want to scroll through contacts to make a call. Voice calling is not much of a solution. Yes, I call people when I'm driving. Sue me.

I'm not a newb. I've been doing PC stuff for ages. Hell, back in 1995 when Quake was the first internet server-based multiplayer fps game, we were making up this type of lingo and the typical responses. I was 20 then. The problem is, this guy was just being an unoriginal douche. He kangs his entire schtick. Meh.
Thanks, though. How about a suggestion for a SPRINT Android smartphone that doesn't suffer from these lag issues?
Hardware acceleration will help out a ton, especially since most non-low end phones made after the HD2 (yes, not an Android phone, but same processor/gpu has Nexus 1, EVO, etc) has a GPU worth a damn.

Nexus S 4G is sharing the forum with the GSM counterpart much like HeroC did at the beginning. Try this link...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1071500

All these new phones talk

As you all know the Nexus for Sprint is out and soon to be (my favorite) the Evo 3D. But with this new 10$ add on bill for any smartphone you get (even if you have the data unlimited plan) seems to let me down a lot on deciding if i should upgrade soon. I mean if you think about it every time you get a new smart phone 10$ is added to your bill. so theoretically your bill can be limitless. Ya i know 10$ is not much but hell, im only 20 and in school for a surg tech degree, i cant afford that monthly extra.
I really have no point in this paragraph haha. I guess just be blessed for those that are getting those awesome new tech. and il Duce, youre the only one i know so far that is moving on to the 3D, so please dont forget us HeroC homeless that cant afford it .
Hopefully Sprint will get rid of this mental add on. But in the mean time thinks for reading my rant
I'll most likely pick it up. Despite the cryptographiclly signed bootloader, kernel, and recovery, it will still kick ass. I looked through my apps and realized that there are only a few apps I have that require root access. I'll miss my wireless tether, but Mrs. User has a rooted hero, so I guess I could use hers.

From what I know about signed bootloaders and stuff, you can still root the phone - you just won't be able to put any custom firmware/roms/kernels/flash radios,etc.
That's why I'm straying away from the 3D as of now.. I compile my own roms and would go crazy if I had to stick with the stock ROM and not be able to load my roms, or at the very least load CM
But at least HTC said they'd "Review their bootloader policy" We'll see if they actually do anything about it though.

I don't think the carriers really have much of a word in things like that (well, except for AT&T with the whole not being able to (easily?) side-load apps), though it's interesting to see other manufacturers becoming more open with their devices, and HTC going the other direction. Hell, even Motorola said they won't release such locked down phones now.
Here's to hoping we get a variant of the G2x.... with qHD.
I didnt know it was coming with a signed BL!! where do you devs get this crazy info at. This might change my plans.
But Yeah the 3d sounds just like a beast, but im just so addicting to moding. Man this is a toughy. I thought HTC was pretty open to opening the BL.. hope they dont pull a Steve Jobs =(

Not just the bootloader, but the recovery and the kernel are cryptographically signed. With 256 bit encryption. Virtually uncrackable without a leak from HTC.

+1 for our amazing devs...let the shameless butt-kissing ensue. Seriously, they've allowed my little Heroc to live on far beyond it's natural life-span.
FWIW about the new phones though, I was tempted, but I'm holding off till the X-mas lineup comes out. As the commercial goes "...then we must teach you to wait." The Evo 3D looks like a solid contender, but I'm shying away from the Nexus S...1) no microsd card support, and 2) it's a samsung (I'm the "proud" owner of two Moments...uuuuugghh).
With rumors about the Nexus 3 being made by HTC and avail on Sprint, if it happens, that's what I'll jump for. Here's hoping!

Now boarding for 3vo land! Who's coming!?

Sooooouuuuuul Traaaaaaiiiiiin!
I'm waiting first to see if the SGSII gets announced for Sprint.
tbh I'm not particularly impressed by this whole 3D screen/camera bandwagon - it's not a feature I'm interested in nor one that I know I'd be using much if at all...
3D aside - most of the reviews I've read side with GSII as being the better phone hardware wise (though both are still impressive ). They're both dual core and have 1gb ram. But for one, I'd rather have a Su AMOLED + screen after seeing the Epic's screen, plus the camera on it looks great. Although if either phone's battery life is much better than the other, that'd probably be the final deciding factor.
Only downside I see for the gs2 is that it comes with...touchwiz -_-... but since Samsung gave a phone to CM, hopefully that won't be a problem for too long.
Last and certainly not least, most of the xda members I know are going to 3vo so that's going to make the decision harder
Regardless of which one I end up choosing I'll probably end up deving for it, at the very least I'll be finally setting up my gerrit account to help with CM.

Preordered my 3vo yesterday. Love my Hero, but I'm looking forward to the Evo 3d. I don't much care if it does 3d, all the other specs tell me this phones gonna be a beast. Doubt I'll use the 3d all that much

Pretty sure you can get a fair price on Ebay's buyback program... Something to the tune of $75, give or take.

When will we see the next Sprint HTC superphone?

I love the new Galaxy Nexus, but I am partial to HTC phones. When will they give us a new super phone on Sprint?

nothing wrong with that... no point in upgrading early 2012 knowing that your phone will be out-dated in terms of wimax vs lte in a few months

Not that I'm all for Apple, but I believe at the moment, the iPhone 4s is their number one phone at the moment...but that's alright, I don't think that will last too long, I'm kinda interested in Nokia and Windows Phone Apollo...

Next HTC phone should be released in early summer and be as the evo successor and if right should be announced at ctia and should be flagship for their first LTE phone
sent from my HTC evolution running a freshly baked gingerbread with the 4gs in it
The evo is plenty now. With no more yearly upgrades, why waste it now on a wimax phone thats not going anywhere.
Long live Evo

Sprint is throttling the iPhones data. Bro in law has been *****ing bout it since launch day. Did a Google search and he's not only one, huge deal! So imo I wouldn't claim 4s to be a power dog when they're only getting .02 mbps upload average lol

Yea I love my Evo. I probably won't upgrade till LTE is fully up and running

Yeah my Evo is running 2.3.5 and sense 3.5 overclocked and all the goodies, so what would I "upgrade" to anyway until LTE is up and running? So I don't have Seri and can't make appointments while I'm jogging.. I don't jog anyway so take that Apple!!

We have "voice actions" in the market. It's actually superior to Seri in my opinion! It actually learns and will get to know you!

True that. An upgrade to an non-LTE phone and this point doesn't make sense to me. OG Evo still running strong.
the next flagship phone will probably come out next summer lol

WTF, you saying I need to jog??
may grab the evo design 4g just to hold me til the summer http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/19/sprint-unleashes-the-htc-evo-design-4g-available-october-23rd-f/
I say when they get ready to launch LTE. Although, I would like to see an HTC version of the Samsung Galaxy Note. Not really into the whole stylus, nor 3D. I just want bigger, faster, more memory. Want to get fancy, include a optical, non-digital zoom for the camera.
I think ICS will make my decision for me. IF the OG EVO can get an AOSP ICS build (with or without WiMAX) I'm going to keep it until I see how Sprint's LTE rollout goes. I'm gonna tide myself over with a Windows 8 tablet when they launch...
