I did turn off the notification in the GV app but I still don't need to be double text messaged. If you also turn off Inbox Sync, you won't get texts in the GV update until you refresh.

Lowen SoDium posted:This is a great summery of what is wrong with Samsung phones and it should be in the OP and linked to every time someone says they are thinking about getting one. Agreed. This is also the reason why I'm leaning toward the Nexus S over the EVO 3D...though, as I've said many times before, the EVO 3D is A LOT of hardware to pass on. I'm also heavily considering forgoing my upgrade in June and waiting for the next Nexus phone. They announced the Nexus One in January 2010, and the Nexus S in December 2010, so it would stand to reason that they'll announce the next Nexus phone sometime around December 2011-January 2012. Since I'm perfectly happy with my EVO (and thanks to Cyanogenmod 7 I've already been running Gingerbread for months, and will surely get Ice Cream (Sandwich?) as well), I have little reason to upgrade anyhow...other than the fact that I want a new phone just to have a new phone.

At the end of the day, I don't really have a problem with anyone's HARDWARE...it's the crap software they keep dishing out.

ShowTime posted:You know, i'm kind of starting to hate the guy that posted "Why Samsung phones suck and why the Google Nexus S is different". It was very good information and I don't disagree with anything said. I hate it because now i'm questioning if I want to hold out for the Evo 3d or go with the Nexus. First - the WiFi Hotspot feature WILL still cost you $30 per month from Sprint. I can't find my source right now, but I know I read it somewhere. Second - Applications will absolutely utilize dual-core processors eventually...but I'm not worried about it right now. Why would someone code an app specifically for dual-cores right now? They would be ensuring that 99% of their potential user-base can't use their app. Sure, some games might come out in the next year or two that will require dual-cores, but 99% of your apps will either a)never need dual-cores, or b)won't require them for at least another year (probably 2).

Also, it's $0.02...and it's to help handicapped people. Who complains about that?

Isn't LG still the leading candidate to produce the Nexus 3? I thought I read somewhere that Google was testing a htc AND a LG device, and one of them would end up being the Nexus 3? Either way, I'm excited that there's a good chance Sprint will get it out of the gate, and I'll be holding off on the EVO 3D in favor of the Nexus 3.

mtr posted:Careful saying that. Most people consider Evos huge. If you protect it with a case it gets even larger. Before buying one sight unseen, I would suggest that someone wears their favorite pair of pants to a phone store to see how it fits in a pocket, even if they aren't a "girl jeans wearing guy". My 5'7?, 130 lbs girlfriend has no more trouble putting my EVO in her pocket than her iPhone 4. We both use Otterbox Commuter Series cases on them. If you're a guy and you can't fit the EVO in your pocket, then stop wearing women's pants, buy a pair of Levis 501's and try acting like a man for once. As for the EVO 3D... I'm holding off to see what the dev community around it looks like (after the unlocked bootloader) and waiting to hear if Sprint is getting the Nexus 3. The EVO does everything I want/need it to do... so I don't feel the need to upgrade right away.

What a terrible perspective, if that's "barely using" the device. I was thinking the same thing. If that is "barely using" a phone, then I can't imagine what "heavy usage" is. nate fisher posted:It can be a pain, but if you work in a office or somewhere it can be charged no biggie.

You could look into a portable battery charger too - $16.12 2600mAh Universal External Backup Battery for Mobile Devices $39.76 7800mAh Universal External Backup Battery for Mobile Devices I'm certainly picking up the 7800mAh one before my next vacation. It'll be very easy to keep this in my backpack to charge my phone (and anyone elses) if need be.

The Entire Universe posted:Strongly considering buying a used Evo (like anyone would pay money or trade for my Epic) until this comes out, but then I recall that Sprint hasn't gotten poo poo from Google prior to the NS4G. Sprint was actually destined to get the Nexus One, until they decided to not offer it in favor of the EVO 4G instead. The recent Sprint & Google Voice partnership, plus the likely acquisition of T-Mo by AT&T makes me very hopeful that Sprint will be Google's preferred carrier going forward, and they'll just make the Nexus series all "World Phones" going forward. ...hey, I can dream, right?

I'm really wanting the boost in battery life that the E3D brings, but I'm making myself hold out for the Nexus 3 announcement. I have a good feeling that Sprint will get it at launch this time. How is the reception (cell and wifi) on the E3D compared to the EVO 4G? This has always been my biggest gripe about my EVO...it gets worse cell and wifi reception than my Pre did.

Werid. I even called them yesterday and they said there were no known issues. I'm flashing to Fresh 4.2 so I can call in again, and if they need to do any dial codes, I'll be able to do them. I didn't realize Detroit was having power outages. Due to the heat or that absurd storm that came through on Monday?

I got through, and apparently there is a 4G issue in various areas, but no reported 3G issues. Of course, once I did a wipe & install of Fresh 4.2, things started working just fine, so I decided to go ahead and do a full update to CM 7.1 and things are working just fine now as well. It's weird...but it seems like something got effed up out of nowhere on CM 7.0.3.

MY ABACUS! posted:I'm considering asking my friend to add me to his family plan and transferring my number from Verizon. He has the 1400 minute two line plan with data at the moment. Would it only increase his monthly fee by the $20/month add'l line charge, or would there be anything else? Also, would I be entitled to the same discount on a new smartphone as if I signed up for a new account alone? I literally just added a friend to my plan - It's $20 to add a line and then there's the $10 "Smartphone Fee" on top of it. Plus, he opted for insurance, so there's another $8. Everyone on my plan decided the most fair way to split the bill was just divide the total among all 3 of us, so it runs about $60 per person. He got the EVO 3D for $200 plus tax, and got the $125 "port credit" as well (which, of course, actually shows up as a discount off my bill, so I'm just not charging him for his cellphone for a few months).

Assuming that all of your contacts are in Gmail, all you have to do after a factory reset is sign into your Google Account and they'll automatically re-sync.

Didn't someone mention earlier in the thread that Sprint & Google have basically just agreed to a special API hook between their databases so that they can properly route the traffic, depending on how you do the integration?

Since ICS is more like Honeycomb, it wouldn't bother me. The SGSII Variants that I've seen all have the stupidly large "iPhone-esque" center button, a menu button, and a back button. No search button. Not only do I use my search button a lot...but I think the 3 button look that Samsung has been going toward looks like WP7 and iOS had a bastard child and I hate it. I'd be perfectly happy running a Honeycomb-esque UI on a phone, but I don't want to run a pre-Honeycomb UI on a phone without 4 buttons.

Alman posted:Yeah, since Sprint has about half the customers (a little less actually I think?) than AT&T or Verizon, gross data consumption as a total is probably about the same as one of the top two. But since a LOT of the backhaul for Sprint coverage is leased from other telecoms (read: AT&T, Verizon), the cost is actually higher, putting a larger financial burden on a smaller company with substantially smaller revenues. The $10 smartphone fee has helped recoup some of those losses by boosting ARPU a bit, but in the end, until providing data becomes more cost-effective, the only solution I can see is introducing a more expensive unlimited plan, introducing throttling, introducing tiered pricing, or some sort of combination of those. I'm sorry, but if they do end up throttling/raising prices, I'm going to Verizon. Sprint is great 95% of the time...the other 5% I deal with lovely coverage because they're cheap. If Sprint raises their prices and it's only going to cost me a few dollars more per month to be on Verizon...well, so be it. Right now, I have 3 4G phones (Evo, Epic, E3D) at a total monthly cost of about $150. Last time I looked, it was substantially more on Verizon. Price and ACTUAL unlimited plans are the only differentiator between Sprint and AT&T/Verizon. If they lose both of those, why would anyone stay with Sprint?
