Samsung Galaxy S III

Root doesn't matter. I don't think the prepaid follows the account.

Really? So I'd lose my $4 credit on my Viper? :(

 

I Googled the issue. When you move from one device to another, your Google Wallet does not. Even though you have the same credentials and the same Gmail account, Google Wallet sees the new device as a separate account. I called GW and they moved over the balance on my GNex account over to my new GS-III account. Problem solved.

Wouldn't you automatically get $10 for a new account? 10 is more than 4 right?

You have to set up the new account, get your $10, then you can call and have funds moved from your old account to your new device. You are unable to just move from one device to another without a new account set up on the new device. You have to have two accounts and transfer into the new one...at least according to the rep I talked with today.

 

At least this way you get the benefit of the $10 bonus for each account.

God help me, but tomorrow after dropping the other half at work, I have a few hours to kill so I am going to the local corp Sprint store to check out the S3. Its going to take all the freaking will power in my being to not come out of the store with one.

I swear half my paycheck is already going to these carriers, Sprint, AT&T, Verizon, I really need to get myself into smartphone rehab.

Should have sent you my Sanyo 4900...that was a beast for RF. 8200 as well. Pull out antennas and all. That's the phones our tower spacing was designed for. If you like Motorola so much I have a Q9c in the drawer for you . Right next to the old TP and TP2.

word! I still lust over my Sanyo 7400. A god of a flip phone, IMO.

 

Those TP's can rot in H%LL. They made me hate them.

I still have my RL-7300. For its day it was a beast of a flip phone.

I hated that phone... I was always a flip phone guy. The screen on the 4900 cracked within a month. It was one night at the bar that cracked it. It was in my pocket the whole time...

 

Sanyo 7400 was awesome, except for the gimmicky color changing panels.

The only thing I ever wanted to change on my phone was the blasted plastic screen. The only phone I knew of that allowed that was a gsm only Nokia.

I picked it up, and now my Photon is just a signal tester for comparison. I also decided to get this http://www.amazon.co...laxy+s+iii+case to help me protect and keep a grip on this slippery thing.

  • Compatible with the following versions of the Galaxy S III: AT&T (SGH-i747), US Celluar, T-Mobile (SGH-T999), Sprint (SPH-L710), Verizon (SCH-i535) and International (GT-i9300)
  • Removable back panel
  • Other Colors Available. White:B005ZG043C
  • Other Colors Available. Blue:B005ZG0342
  • Other Colors Available. Purple:B005ZG060S

Durable, yet flexible TPU case for Samsung Galaxy S II i9100This premium TPU case provides your wireless device the maximum protection against scratches and scuffs, enabling you to keep your wireless device in new condition and well preserving its looks and features. Made with grade A Silicon gel, this case is not only durable, long lasting, but also equips the wireless device with a soft and comfortable surface. Furthermore, all the openings for the dock connector, charger, and buttons were precisely cut to allow full access to all the wireless device functions. It is user-friendly, and super easy to install. A case like this has all the combined beauty with functionality by utilizing high-quality materials and fine craftsmanship. This is truly the perfect case, for your valuable wireless device. This product comes in multiple colors. Please call us for details on this product. Comes with a free CrazyOnDigital wristband.

 

 

This case is similar to the Otterbox Commuter case and is a 2 piece silicone rubber, and hard plastic case cover. The silicone rubber has round circles that are thicker in depth that protrudes through the hard plastic cover. These thicker circles act like shock absorbers in event that the phone is dropped. The case looks and feels premium, and fits perfectly. All features and buttons are accessible as well. The case is attractive and doesn't add bulk to the phone, but makes the phone easier to hold on to for large would be butter fingers like mine making it easier not to drop. This description says Galaxy S II but the said unit is for the Galaxy s II, and from Amazon it does not come with a wrist band.......I own this based on a XDA post that I read! I also ordered a arm band for running as well from them.

They are slow right now so if data is your main reason I'd wait. However network vision will be here soon I have attained 1.92 mbs on 3G at times. I use my phone mainly for calling so when LTE comes I will not miss my Photon 4G

I remember how the nokia phones had those aftermarket screen replacements with the embedded holograms.

 

They disappeared like teddy ruxpin, chubbles, cabbage patch kids, care bears, pogs, slap bracelets, pet rocks and all of the other ridiculous fads

I had a Teddy Ruxpin. My aunt thought I was younger than I was. She thought all 10 year old boys would love a story telling bear. It was great to launch in the trebuchet. The fad I really enjoyed was Garbage Pail Kids. I wish I had kept those.

I hear you Robert, seems like some of these fads would have been a better investment than stocks back in the day.

Seth MacFarlane is my generation, so I enjoy all his generational references.

I am amused at Robert as the grumpy old man of S4GRU, yet I am quite certain that many of us are no more than two or three years younger.

Pogs? I wish those still existed. My parents threw all mine away one day. I was mad when I found out.

    • Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
    • At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!
    • Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.
