Sounds like a plan to me. I will definitely start working on it.

The Galaxy S3 is $29.99 for add-a-line from Amazon right now. I'm thinking about getting one so that I can plot Sensorly.

 

Excellent phone to do it with!

Better than the Note 2?

<br />Why not

 

If I don't keep the service up for 181 days they will charge me $400, so I'll look into going to a Sprint corporate store and see what deal I can get there.

Next time you're in Southern California, buy a used S3 on Craigslist. You could probably lowball someone down below $250. Sell it when the Note 3 comes out and use that money towards your upgrade.

Too much for me to spend on a phone just to use for Sensorly contributions. My primary is an iPhone, and I'm not giving it up. But thanks for the idea.

Is there a way to make it look like a normal plain android phone?

 

When its grey, it looks like it really isn't connected to the Google servers.

How am I supposed to know if the network connection is good and usable?

 

For example I'm connected to an Airave, which doesn't work very often.

I used the blue colour to indicate when I can send txt/calls too.

 

U are talking bout vanilla android. The bars are grey on any touchwiz phone or rom. Tw and vanilla are two different skins.

There is no comparison with the Gnex. What a horrible phone that Sprint let through the labs.

I would take the EVO LTE over the gnex any day of the week. Sensorly map pollution makes my hate for the phone grow more and more every time I see it.

You're lucky your Gnex has been so reliable. Mine was nothing but trash, and the fact that I had 2 bad ones in a row makes me hate Nexus branded devices. I would have been much happier with the Galaxy S3 if I had to stay Android.

As someone who has owned the Galaxy Nexus, the Evo LTE and the GS3 the Nexus easily is the worst performer of all 3. No contest, not even close. The Nexus is not even in the same category as the other 2 in regards to radio performance. Add in the abysmal battery performance and it gets even worse.

I had so many problems with RF performance on the GNex, that your point is not brag worthy. The EVO LTE and GNex are very poor RF performers. And the GNex is way worse on 1x and EVDO than the EVO LTE.

 

Considering both are bad RF performers, most people would rather have the EVO for the superior specs and battery life. The Sprint GNex was a seriously flawed device. I had a love/hate thing for mine. Loved vanilla android, hated nearly everything else.

I seriously don't see the bad radio performance you guys speak of. I'm not talking in denial trust me because the ns4g was horrible. But its bad when I'm dead smack in a sprint store and my Gnex reads 90 dBm lte and the evo couldn't even connect. But I agree about battery life that's why I carry 2 batteries.

The galaxy nexus was the worst RF performing smartphone i had ever used. It did perform well in NYC last summer with ultra tight cell spacing, but back home it was unable to hold a constant signal, and gave me fits while making calls or trying to access any data on EVDO.

 

That said, i have the GS3 now and it performs like a new device after flashing the MC3 build. Similiar side by side performance with an iPhone 5...which i considered the crown jewel on Sprint; along with the Note 2.

That's the work of that horrible VIA branded cdma chipset. Absolute garbage.

If you live in an area with a sprint site on every corner then maybe the phone would work well.

Idk bout every corner but Chicago does have a lot of sprint sites lol.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      I think the push for them is adding US Mobile as a MVNO with a priority data plan.  Ultimately, making people more aware of priority would allow them (and other carriers) to differentiate themselves from MVNOs like Consumer Cellular that advertise the same coverage. n77 has dramatically reduced the need for priority service at Verizon where the mere functioning of your phone was in jeopardy a couple of years ago if you had a low priority plan like Red Pocket. Only have heard of problems with T-Mobile in parts of Los Angeles. AT&T fell in between. All had issues at large concerts and festivals, or sporting events if your carrier has no on-site rights. Edit: Dishes native 5g network has different issues: not enough sites, limited bandwidth. Higher priority would help a few. Truth is they can push phones to AT&T or T-Mobile.

      Tracfone AT&T sims went from QCI 8 to 9 as well a couple years ago. I'm pretty neutral towards AT&T's turbo feature here, the only bad taste left was for those who had unadvertised QCI 7 a couple months ago moved down to 8. In my eyes it would have been a lot better for AT&T to include turbo in those Premium/Elite plans for free to keep them at QCI 7, while also introducing this turbo add on option for any other plans or devices. As it stands now only a handful of plans can add it, and only if you're using a device on a random list of devices AT&T considers to be 5G smartphones.

      My Red Pocket AT&T GSMA account was dropped to QCI 9 about a year ago.  Most recently 8 for the last few years prior.  Voice remains at 5.

      https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/05/att-announces-7-monthly-add-on-fee-for-turbo-5g-speeds/ Hopefully we don't ever see T-Mobile do something like this. Based on how I was treated with my Credit Limit, it's definitely not the same company it was before the merger, and it's entirely possible they'd try it.
