Hey guys, I've been wondering about something recently. Does anyone know sprint's policy on phone exchanges? Basically, I have an epic and this is my 3rd replcement phone which is STILL going crazy. I was wondering since this is my 3rd phone should I try waiting till the nexus s 4g comes out to replace with that since its a "similar phone"? Or should I just exchange now for whatever? Thanks

slim and no chance of exchanging it for a nexus imho. they will just change it out for another epic
Its like a crazy number of replacements before they will give you a new one, let alone upgrade. Doesn't hurt to tty though. I have better luck when calling

What I would do is go ahead and take it in and get a replacement. Hopefully the next one won't go all crazy on you. Then, if you really want the Nexus S, when it comes out, sell your Epic and use that money to put towards the Nexus.
There is no comparable replacement to the Epic (yet), so you'll keep getting Epics if they are exchanged. Nexus S will not be comparable.

Doesn't matter... Sprints not going to just give you one of there next top phones to replace an older supposed top of the line that did live up to its potential. Not with out a fight at least.
As one of the other relies stated it takes a lot of trade ins before they would offer you a different phone.
It took me 8 Treo 800w's(3 in one visit) and about a weeks worth of calling customer services and retentions before they finally gave me a Treo Pro as a replacement.
They even wanted me to use my early upgrade about a month early. I did get to stick of to them a month later... used my upgrade to get the Pre(lol) and sold the Pro for 300$.

I've had pretty good success through email, but you have to be reasonable. You might be able to swap it for an EVO. Just be nice they tend to be more willing to help if your nice.

I would just love to have gingerbread on this phone lol. I'm stuck with it until 2013.
I've had my upgrade eligibility since this past June just waiting for the perfect phone to arrive. At first the Galaxy N was definitely my first choice, but with the bugs that it seems to have I don't know anymore. I may just wait till they are all ironed out.
That said, I'm probably gonna get it anyway, hopefully when Verizon is still doing the double data deal. The only other 4G phones that interest me are the Razr and maybe the Rezound, but not really a fan of either "Blur" or Sense.
Until then I'm fine using my Continuum and Fascinate.
I'm planning in getting the Nexus (upgrade available yesterday). Just wish they would go ahead and announce it... Just don't want to be stuck without upgrades again.

Only bug I ever heard of would be the volume bug which only occured in 2G. No phone should ever be used in 2G lol. Luckily they did get that fixed up, and it's looking bug free now.
I was planning on getting the Nexus, but decided to jump on the Xperia Play for free over the Black Friday weekend... Loving it so far... Wish you guys could experience lag free Vanilla Gingerbread... It's smooth as butter.

Update 4/2/12: looks like the lg viper 4/15 followed by the nexus 4/22
http://www.androidauthority.com/sprint-galaxy-nexus-4g-lg-viper-4g-release-date-70751/
suprisingly, i havent seen much in the forums about this, so i figured i would start a discussion (if anyone feels like discussing).. April 15th apparently is the date for the Gnex to show up on sprint.. What are my fellow epic user's thoughts? too little too late? I personally have had an upgrade since december burning a hole in my pocket..

Its been my plans since I first saw the leaked advertisement. I'm not waiting three or four more months for a quadcore... ill catch em next upgrade... my laptop barely has a quadcore... =]. It may be foolish but I want a google phone not a unreliable samsung phone. =P just my thoughts, least I know if android 5.0 is released my phone will receive it... all newer android versions are being developed on the OMAP processor.. so I'm getting it release date. Had an upgrade for almost a year now I've waited enough.

Sammy is actually doing a good job with the gs2 firmware updates
Nexus phones are nice but is it really worth it
Pretty soon there will be a gs3 and I'm pretty sure they are going to launch it over the world at once before September or maybe during September

I just saw that last night! Lol
Sooo...I sent this to BGR, but they wouldn't run it without me handing over the proof, but that's not something I'm willing to do, so I'll reiterate here:
Our Playbook that came out on Wednesday shows two interesting things in the Calendar of upcoming things:
On the 12th of April, it's listed that Planogram materials (merchandise and advertising stuff) for a 4/15 launch will be arriving in stores. On the 15th, it lists that all POG materials need to be deployed by store opening.
The Playbook never mentions what is launching on the 15th, but they very conveniently slipped the dates in there without saying anything. Considering the galaxy nexus data storm contest ends on the 16th, its safe to say that the 15th can be confirmed as the release date for the galaxy nexus.

But honestly, with all the great ICS devs here, I'm actually enjoying my Epic. Though I think the low ram and cpu are starting to show its age.

there is no real point, in getting it. the updates still have to go sprint sense its an cdma phone. so its still going to slow in getting updates. and big red's one hasnt gotten updated either. i would just wait for something better to come long.

I think it (well for me anyway) depends on the specs. If they're the same as the GNex on VZW, I'll more than likely pass. However, if they're slightly upgraded, then I may take a serious look at it. I too have had an upgrade for about 13 months now, so I'm just waiting on either the GNex or the SGSIII.

Just Saturdays I think, to replace the regular anime block. I wish they would have just moved the reg .anime block to Friday and have Toonami on Saturday because I like Full Metal Alchemist, Bleach, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Durarara!!, and Cowboy Bebop to much =/ although Gundam Wing, Dragon Ball Z and Tom 3.0 make up for it.
Also worth looking at
Toonami Wiki said:
April Fool's Day 2012
On April 1, 2012, just past Toonami's 15th anniversary, Adult Swim replaced itself with the third version of Toonami, [6] featuring Tom 3.0, initially disguised as an airing of Tommy Wiseau's The Room. The channel guide did not reflect the changes, as is typical of Adult Swim's April Fools' jokes. It is still unclear whether this was a permanent change or merely a stung for April Fool's Day. Several classic shows were aired from the original lineup, with a special focus on climactic episodes, season finales, or final episodes. The shows, order aired, and episodes: Dragon Ball Z #191, Gundam Wing #10, Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki #19, Outlaw Star #25, Big O #1, Yu Yu Hakusho #110, Blue Submarine #6 #1, Trigun #23, the original Astro Boy #1, and Gigantor #1. [7] Tom also did a brand new bumper for the new episode of Bleach, plus a next episode preview. Some of the episodes shown were never broadcast on the original Toonami.
The revival featured original bumps performed by Steven Blum as Tom, and the classic promo, Dreams. There was an original game review of Mass Effect 3, giving the game an 8.5/10 while criticizing the ending for being "weak." Also done were original advertisements for DVDs of each of the animes shown in a more adult tone, such as Tom referring to the song "99 Problems" when discussing the Tenchi Muyo! DVD, encouraging the viewer to enjoy more nudity and violence with the Outlaw Star DVD, and describing the Big O DVD release with "Our giant robot can beat the crap out of your giant robot."

It says they got them from a large company that bundled them with a cell phone (rezound) . They come with a one year manufacturer warranty. I don't see how they are fake.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
I hope they are the real deal... I want to hear some reviews first. When you guys get them pump them up and let us know
My estimated time of delivery is 6/18 so I'm not sure the deal will still be going when that comes around for me to review. Also I'm not big on the Beats headphones as they are just overpriced and marketed headphones but for 40 and with controls that work on Android I'm all about it.
I bought them because, 1. I know HTC was going to stop including them with phones, 2. Beats by Dre were no longer going to be made by monster...both of those says to me there is going to be a lot left over and they will be dumped for wholesale.
also the seller is a reputable one on ebay and they come with a manufacturer warranty.
If you are interested buy them, I believe the seller has a good return policy. So if they are iffy you can return them but if they are legit you won't miss out on the deal.
I wonder if these comes with extra ear tips. Anyone?

Going to get my new phone in the AM, and I have a dilemma..
My wife is getting the SIII..that's a known factor.
I however am torn between SIII and NoteII...main problem being they aren't carrying any NoteII's at Radioshack right now, have to order them, and no telling how long it will be until it comes in (maybe by monday, maybe later).
Should I go ahead and get the SIII or wait for the NoteII? Anyone have any ideas on how the development community is going on these devices? From my eyes they look about the same...but honestly haven't had the time to do an in-depth research for it..
Your opinions would be appreciated.
I'm almost in tha same boat as you but mine is Note 2 now or wait for the S4. If I had to choose between those two i would go S3 from what I kno a lot of the devs from this went to that phone so it would be familiar names there and I'm sure the community is bigger but I haven't look to much into myself jus an opinion

Well wouldn't you know it, I went to upgrade on the 23rd, and the Note II promotion had ended on the 22nd...jumped from $199 to $299...so had to opt for the SIII I wish I had been able to catch that promotion, but the SIII is pretty amazing, and my GOD the number of ROMs to try out are just mind-blowing, I think I'm on my 6th or 7th right now, and still have another 4 to test..development over there is crazy!

Ahem (just bought the SIII)...
No seriously, I bought the Epic when it was old (actually paid more for it than I did the SIII), and had it until, well, last thrusday...I bought the Asus TF101 right after the Prime launched...I don't like buying 'new' hardware, you never know what kind of bugs are going to be discovered for it. And the SIII launched last May, still quite new, at least to me
In the case of the Prime, it was a disaster and was quickly reissued as the TF700T and phased out..and my TF101 is still kicking hard..
Also, I am not a dev, so I'd rather buy a device that has a dev community already well-established. Something to consider, how long do you want to wait until someone discovers a root exploit and gets a good ROM on your device, unlocks the hotspot, and OH CRAP here's an OTA that bricks your device at worst or at best breaks root and you have to wait again to get root established before development can resume..
On the other hand, all your friends will think you are cool for the first month when you have a brand new, just-launched device that no one else has...I don't have many friends, so I go for the tried-and-true. Not the shiny-and-new.
I bought the Note 2 and returned it after a week. Happily back on my Epic now. lol
