Hey everyone. I'm getting an S4 thru Sprint soon and I had some questions. First off, how's everyone liking their S4 stock or rooted? I'm coming from AT&T and I can't stand their tiered data, it's getting expensive. I travel quite a bit and was wondering if anyone else did and how their service is. Whether it's data or voice coverage throughout the states. I think that's about it for now. T.I.A

If your happy with AT&T service I recommend T-Mobile because most cities have some kind of 4G with T-Mobile and with Sprint hardly any cities have 4G and without 4G you could get these Sprint 3G speeds LTE is great if you have it voice is great and my S4 is rooted.

AT&T's service is ok. It's just I'm a heavy data user and I'm already up to a 10GB plan.

Then I recommend comparing both carriers plans and then ask people you know in your area about the service they get with both of the carriers and then make a decision. Enjoy your new carrier.

Already done and Sprint is cheaper and they both have lte in my area. Not sure of data speeds though. I'm only in my town on weekends and will have to see how Sprint handles out on the road.

If you have a little extra cash on your hands, you can go with Verizon. They truly deliver the fastest LTE speeds I've seen so far. But if you use a lot of data or just want a good network, Sprint has you covered!
Sprint's 4G is pretty fast. Ever since I got the phone, I've turned on Wi-Fi maybe one or twice. I mostly turned to Sprint because they have unlimited data, whereas Verizon and other carriers charge by the gig.

Hit the "Thanks" button if I helped!
I suggest maybe waiting for a Tri-Band phone to be released before coming to Sprint so you can fully utilize the lte network. I know the LG G2 will be T-B and the Note 3 should be too, there are rumors of a S4 Tri-Band coming out soon, but personally I don't expect it. S4gru.com is a good place to check out all info for Sprints Network Vision upgrades and all other info.

I'm loving my S4 on Sprint. Their LTE network rollout has been kinda slow in my area but once it kicks in, it'll be very decent for sure. I recently went on vacation to areas where Sprint has LTE (Silicon Valley & San Francisco) and their LTE was awesome.
Got my S4 today. Now it's time to root and rom this sucka lol

The moment I got my phone, I flashed a different ROM on there xD
I can't stand having just a little above half the device's actual storage.

I'm going to grab negalite tonite. I've been with Samsung phones since the Galaxy S Fascinate. Haven't really ever used any TW roms since 2010 lol. Been a big fan of CM or AOSP roms. I really do like the S4, it's snappy and HUGE compared to the 4 inch screens I'm used to.

For ir app to work the dev of the aosp has to make the rom compatible with ir

It's a flashable version that works with AOSP ROMs as long as that ROM has ir support.

I was wondering if anyone is using this? Does ATT have prepaid micro sims? Will I need to sim unlock my device? Thanks!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
As long as you activate the SIM on the AT&T or international variant that you have, you didn't specify, it will work. I do not think you will have LTE though.

I use to have go phone $60 plan on it. It works great. Go to the att store and they should hook it all up for you. Inculding the micro Sim card. You'll get LTE. Just have them program it correctly.

It should come for free with the purchase of the 60$ plan. Check our your nearest att store. All the stores around me give it for free.

Just bought Verizon g2 on eBay and the guy sent me a Sprint one. Model Lg-LS980.
Any idea if this will work with Verizon and if ROMs from other carriers will work?

To be short, no. The hardware isn't the same either as the Verizon variant is different.

I just switched from the note 2 from Verizon to the g2 on sprint. The employee told me not to get this phone because of data issues. I said whatever and got it anyway.. So now its acting up..lol I cant seem to find any fix that would solve me problem. They're currently rolling out 4g in my area. Im fed up with this on the first day. Im in the process of trying dialer codes now but they are not working... If anybody.....anybody can help please help a brother out.

From the wiki specs and from the Samsung galaxy s4 antenna the att version does not have the cdma antennas. I have the vzw s5 it will work on att becouse it has to have the gsm antennas for out side of the US.
