Decisions, Decisions

Screen cracked yesterday. Nothing wrong with the phone besides glass being cracked.
I have insurance but not sure I want to drop $100 on another Epic. Can I bring it into Sprint and have them replace the screen for $35? If not, should I just wait for the S3 and keep the $100?
When does the S3 release?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

They won't replace it for $35. That is for warranty handling repairs with no TEP. If it is clearly a drop they will leave you only the insurance option. S3's won't be out at least til the summer...still rumored with nothiing nailed down. Only thing set is the Galaxy Nexus on the 22nd this month.

Stick it out for a couple more days... for the gnex release. Trust me the s3 won't be out anytime soon... if the earliest, late summer early fall... least for sprint.

Yeah but I mean usually they have an actually phone advertisement... and the lg viper was supposed to release today according to our "proof" and it hasn't... maybe this month but I doubt it be the 22nd unless both phones release that day.

This confirms the 22nd for the Viper. And the Nexus was touted as being the "first" lte Spint phone. Lets hope they stick with that and release a couple hours early!!

I checked the Spring website and they have the Evo 4G LTE preorder ad on the front page but no mention of the Galaxy Nexus. This worries me a little bit.
I want to hold out but don't want to wait months for the Nexus.

They had the advertisement not too long ago... I think they plan to release both the same day.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

Since they haven't built up the release for these devices my guess would be 21st or 28th. Sprint typically changes their device pricing on Sundays.

I just want the Gnote, hoping all three drop the same day

Nexus and Viper on the same day? Because I hope they're not releasing the Nexus at the same time as the Evo 4G LTE. Might as well wait for the S3 then.

Battery ?

Batteries? Yes. The covers are different I think due to the 4G antenna in the Sprint variant.

I was wondering why the Ns4g were about 40$ and the others were like 15$ in eBay
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda app-developers app

The 4g battery door has the nfc chip installed inside the back cover. Don't know if ns do.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda app-developers app

So does the gsm one. My other post about the antenna is going off an assumption. The antenna probably adds some bulk and needs certain areas on the back cover extended. I find it funny that the NS4G cover runs more by they are much easier to find online. Haha.

Well i got one eBay for ns4g 3900mah and with back cover and wall charger so I can charge another battery without the phone. 38$
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda app-developers app

most aftermarket (if not all have yet to see one) extended batteries and covers for the NS4G, dont have NFC chips in the cover.

This one has the two connectors on it. And if I knew it was for NFC I would have saved money and just got the for the ns. I don't trust NFC any way, to many theives in this world
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda app-developers app

I got a 3500 ohm battery and cover on ebay for about $8.50. It says for NS but if you file or use a dremel on the power button opening it fits NS4g fine. It's actually easier to hold with the extended battery Imo. Lasts all day and then some. There is no nfc antenna on the cheap battery covers that I have seen, but I haven't used it yet anyway.

Well I got it today. this one has the NFC connectors, or 4g antenna as they call it lol. Charging the beast now

They want you to use WiFi. But there is Cell coverage on the Sprint network. It's just that they limit you on how much you can use the Sprint cell coverage before asking you to leave. Lol.

Looks like there are more problems with the service than worth buying into it.

I though the same thing. To many problems.
But, The $20.00 on WI-FI maybe good as a house phone. I wonder if they limit WI-FI calls???
"SAY WHAT!!!" Ask me to leave.
So what would be the uses for this service then.
Any ideas???
THANKS IN ADVANCED
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Well, they have to pay Sprint for the minutes you use, do if you use too many, they lose money on you. If you are generally in areas where there is WiFi access, then this may be a good idea for you.

I would just get a phone connect for the house. That way you can get multiple phones to use at home. So that's out of the question. I guess for the unemployed that sit at home all day or in their parent's house.

The screenshot like this does not convince me to believe that it's a t-mobile variant. Please attach an image showing the phone connected to the T-Mobile network with the word "T-Mobile". Thanks!

Curious, if you are able to make calls with it, how is the call quality? "Robotic" or digital sounding? Or is it more smooth and landline-ish?
And if you can connect, how is the mobile network reception compared to other devices you've had in your area? Does it exhibit signs of those good radios that Motorola is famous for? Or has Google interfered with that?

He flashed the T-Mobile software to his phone, but has an AT&T SIM card. You can either take his and my word for it, or choose to not believe us. Up to you.

The phone overall has great cellular radios. People say I sound clear on all calls. I am connected to ATT network as Matt has said but I did flash the T-Mobile software to this device.

No idea what delivery company. It is possible that it will get delivered on 28th, since I'm sure they already have stock. However, estimated time is because if they dispatch 1-2 days from release day, it will take weekend to get it delivered.
