This time it's goodbye to SPRINT and the Hero but not goodbye to XDA.
I'm hanging my hat At the Captivate Portal now.
I would join you, but AT&T IS AN EVIL COMPANY. YOU ARE MAKING A BIG MISTAKE. They ditched their unlimited data plan! The most you can get it 2GB/month. Their customer service sucks, their coverage sucks worse, and they lock down installing non-Market apps on Android phones. They are EVIL!
No more evil than Sprint.
*shrug*
Yeah go ahead and sell me a phone and in less than 10 months tell me that I won't be getting a software update that We all know our phones can handle, just so you can sell me a Phone that WILL have Froyo but I'd have to pay an extra 10 dollars a month for.
Have fun with the iPhone network bloat.

you mean like the verison eris?
lol @ AT&T. I'll never go back to that sh*tty company. Have fun getting f*cked over.
AT&T knows that Android is clearly superior to the iPhone.
That's why they're making all of their Android phones super ****ty and removing functionaity from them that the iPhone doesn't have. AT&T wouldn't have the iPhone exclusively if they weren't taking Apple out back of the building for some extra cash.
Well personally I don't care, but really? AT&T? The worst of the 4
We should start a betting pool for when (not if) he comes back to Sprint. I'll take dibs on 2 months from now. Any other guesses?

I give it within his 30 day trial - what most people dont realize is that ATT, Tmo and Verizon are nowhere near as flexible as Sprint for waiving ETF's, MIR's, Upgrades, Activations, Resets, etc... lol good luck at ATT! See ya back soon!

you joined the dark side (AT&T) what do you expect? btw AT&T was a ****ty company a long time before mobile phones existed, anyone remember carterfone? How about the breakup of the monopoly into the smaller regional bells?
I'm proud to say that I have NEVER done any business with AT&T, wired or wireless.

Sprint notified me via letter today that I would no longer have service after the 5th of July. I moved out of Sprint's service area around September of last year and knew this was coming eventually. I am actually shocked it took so long .
As sad as I am to leave Sprint and my Evo; I must move forward!
That being said, what phones are on the horizon? I will probably switch to Verizon because they still have unlimited data. I'm not adverse to prepaid as those services have come a long way in the last few years.
I am liking the Thunderbolt, as it is the most similar to our Evos.
cool story bro...
joking aside, sorry to see you leave. gl with whatever you choose to go with

Nope and nope, bummer really. Not a lot of choices here in Arkansas, especially in a smaller town. I remember when it was just Alltel and $0.25 a minute lol.
When are dual core phones going to explode? There doesn't seem to be many on the market. I want something with some serious XDA support of course. There is no way I could run a stock Android phone anymore .

You could use it on virgin mobile, but they're a sprint mvno & you'd be using the latest sprint prl. And if sprint service didn't work for you before, guess it won't now.

Your ESN is only bad if it is report lost/stolen, or you did not pay your bill.

Of all the new phones coming out, I'm just wondering why you would go with the thunderbolt?
Wow... $250?.. really? nearly mint EVO's in my area are going for $150. something like that would be asking for a trade of a blackberry or HTC Magic. lol
ok, not to get off topic, but in other areas are people on craigslist asking for iPhone 3GS or 4's for "every better phone ever"?
it seems like whenever I go on, I see someone going "I'll trade my stupid, dumb EVO 4G for an iPhone 3GS"
and I'm dumbfounded and almost willing to trade in my iphone that has sat here for a YEAR in for another EVO...because I love this phone so much. lol

Harsh guys. You would notice if you read the whole thing it says OBO. I don't expect to get that much, I just had to put a price in. Thanks for taking to time to search Craigslist for the listing though!
Just got off the phone with Sprint and it turns out they are only canceling the line that has the most roaming usage on it which isn't my Evo (we have three lines)
You're busting my balls sprint!

I haven't really heard of any dual core on Verizon except for the droid bionic which probably will have a locked bootloader so it might get rooted or might not. At&t should have Galaxy S2 by then or the HTC Sensation on T Mobile hoping that its shipped with a unlocked bootloader.

Interesting. I am REALLY killing myself staring at pictures of these phones. I have a Samsung Epic 4G (not the Touch), and am dying with this archaic phone.
Anyway I find it interesting that your source says that AT&T is releasing the phone in late September since this week is as late as late September can get, and we haven't heard the smallest hint of this happening.
I am with Sprint, and although my contract expires October 15th, I think that I would only have to pay a prorated ETF, and this may be the best reason that I could have to go to AT&T.

No way this phone gets released this week. We could all dream on. I'm guessing 10/21 sounds right. I just hope it isn't in November, cause I just sold my GS3 while the resale value is still high. It would suck to have to wait 2 months while using a OG epic for a phone.
Great pictures. I am so looking forward to getting this device.

nevmind- looks pretty cool though as they didn't brand the home button like verizon. lol imagin U.S. Cellular squished onto that
I wonder what's behind the back cover?
I've also been told by some friends that work at T-Mobile that this guy could be arriving as early as this week in their stores. No gurentees but they said that's what they've been told.
After 12 yrs and crappy service I finally switched to Verizon.
Im thinking about it too. I been with them 9 years! Finally gonna make the switch either T-Mobile Or Verizon

I have on multiple occasion. Mine use to be around $150. Seems someone fd up and it never got fixed. I tried but told them after 12 yrs no more.
Let me tell you, from first hand experience, Verizon isn't all that. Work started paying for my phone, so I had to make the switch. My wife's is still on Sprint. Her download speeds across the board are faster. Not to mention, Verizon locks the crap down on these phones. If it wasn't a free work phone, I'd still be over on Sprint.
Anyone else tired of waiting. PLN beta is soooooo bad. Everyday I think about going back to 6.0.1 but I get so lazy lol. Nougat couldn't come soon enough. My phone freezes multiple times a day this last 7.0 beta is so terrible. Hurry up Sammy
Came here to post this exact thing. This wait is ridiculous.
Bull **** how long we are having to wait! Lol
waiting for this update to try the s7 edge.. In the meantime, enjoying the LG V20
We buy these phones to have a premium experience and they already rolled out N to entry level and mid level devices...Samsung won't ever learn. These phones are the slowest for updates. Ever since the S4.

Indeed! I've been using the high end Galaxy phones and tablets since the early days, and they've consistently screwed us on updates. One thing we can count on is that Samsung will give us the updates last, if we get them at all.
Yeah I'm not sure I'm going to get th s8, although sprint has me on the galaxy forever plan, I can get a new one every year and trade in my current one. I was really banking on google bringing the pixel to all carriers but these butt heads went Verizon only or buy unlocked. Maybe the next pixel phone will find its way on all carriers so we can lease it.
Apparalently the next Pixel may have waterproofing, but no edge. But tempting becuase of how bad Samsung is with keeping their devices up to date.

I'm not sure. I was on T-Mobile, sprint had a switch to sprint and we cut your bill in half promotion. So they cut my bill in half, took my note 5's and gave my wife and I both new s7 edge phones on the galaxy forever plan. I don't think we pay anything for it. If I did, I'm not seeing it on my bill because I was paying around 230 with TMobile now with sprint I'm paying about 135 lol.

I'm done with Samsung after this, didn't even want this phone to begin with, got it because of the note 7 recall, and I've hated it since day one. Leave it to s**tsung to make a good phone you can do nothing with, And this wait for an official update is a f***ing nightmare. I thought I'd be happy getting rid of my G3, but I've never missed it more. Should have known not to trust Samsung again, but this will be the last time I make this mistake. Really tempted to sell this pos and just get a pixel.

Nothing for Tmobile for an update yet. Last we know it went into testing mode 2 weeks ago. Sprint was suppose to roll and update this month for LTE 3 carrier aggression. Who knows when we will get updated now. T-Mobile S7 users on Marshmallow are still on November security patch.
Sent from my SM-G935T using XDA-Developers Legacy app
It's all Samsung. Not Sprint. Even the G935U (Unlocked US) have not received the update. Samsung hates Americans, LOL! But really, I don't understand how Apple and Google can update the entire world on the same day and Samsung can't. Even their sorry excuse for voice (S Voice) or Cloud (Samsung non-existent cloud that can't be accessed through an internet site, only your phone....so **** if something happens to your phone...) is disheartening. I miss my Note7. It was running Marshmallow. I would just be happy if Samsung brought the UX to the S7. Same processors, same ram....should've pushed a Touchwiz update a long time ago. But they have our money and they really don't care about the US. We are a speck of their Asian customers with their billions in population. Plus, the FTC has to approve **** here left and right, and then the carrier bull****. They have to make a different update for each carrier and their bloatware. If only I could get the Honor 8 or P9 to work on Sprint, but their network is ****. Maybe the Verizon unlimited plan is exactly what I need.
