Galaxy Nexus vs GS2

Maybe I should be grateful that the seller never sent the phone and I had to process a claim against him. :P

 

Glad you got your money back, I love ebay but you really do have to be careful, but as long as you do what you suppose to do as a buyer and a seller you are usually always covered just in case someone wants to decide to give you the shaft.

I hate when people do that. As long as you get your money back, then that is a good thing.

Well, all might not be lost. I started the claim yesterday and now the seller has decided to wake up and send the phone out. Now I just hope it comes in the condition it was advertised. One other person has already given the seller a negative feedback, but I'll reserve my comment until I get the device.

 

I thought this was going to be the second time a seller has scammed me. The first time I was scammed was when I went to purchase a Audiovox PPC-6700 from a seller who had rave reviews, over 6000+ feedback, etc. I guess something happened or he/she just went rogue. I went to file a claim for not answering messages and no item, and he/she actually had the audacity to try and say that they were innocent and tried to keep the money. Unfortunately, Paypal saw that this person had done the same tactic to other people, so they refunded us all and had eBay shut them down.

 

I never ever have problems with eBay and I use them a considerable amount. I've only have had two issues with them and both issues are with phones. >.<

so long story short - got her the GS3 and may have convinced myself to get one as well (not looking forward to a 5" GS4). Of course, I missed the $99 window at BB and it was $149...when I mentioned it the gal reminds me 30 day price match...found it at RadioShack on sale for $99 today so I'm heading back to get the difference...$49 net for this phone is pretty damn good.

So I finally got my Galaxy Nexus. Had to buy another one since the last seller never did send the phone. Got my money back and put it toward a newer one. :tu:

 

I'm liking it so far. Got it rooted and all that... now for the daunting task of reinstalling all my apps and restoring all my TXT messages to my device. Hopefully it isn't that bad of a phone as some might say.

You're gonna need the extended battery, trust me on that!

Funny you say that. The auction included 5 cases and a brand new, unopened, Samsung OEM extended battery with cover.

 

Nice!

I have yet to use the extended battery... wanted to see what results I get with the stock battery... and yeah... it's not looking good. :/

 

Other issues seem to be that the signal bar is most likely very inaccurate. I have SignalCheck Pro to at least give me an idea of what signal possibly is, but I'm also having an issue where the Data Connection won't reset when I hit the button for it. I'll probably poke at the developer soon to see if it's something I can help with. Also, it's giving me a reading for 1X, EV-DO, and LTE all being active... I thought if LTE was active, EV-DO gets shut off. It's at least that way with my Note 2.

I believe the s3 is 99 bucks. I have the s2 now im just waiting for the s4. I still have the original galaxy s. I hate slide keyboards now there horrible. The s2 is pretty old good phone but don't waste an upgrade on it. My opinion

Yeah, I got the S3 a month ago...patiently (not) waiting for the ONE or the GS4 to hit stores so I can compare. Kid loves the S3 like a puppy.

    • In the conference call they had two question on additional spectrum. One was the 800 spectrum. They are not certain what will happen, thus have not really put it into their plans either way (sale or no sale). The do have a reserve level. It is seen as great for new technologies which I presume is IOT or 5g slices.  They did not bite on use of their c-band or DOD.  mmWave rapidly approaching deadlines not mentioned at all. FWA brushes on this as it deals with underutilized spectrum on a sector by sector basis.  They are willing to take more money to allow FWA to be mobile (think RV or camping). Unsure if this represents a higher priority, for example, RVs in Walmart parking lots where mobile needs all the capacity. In terms of FWA capacity, their offload strategy is fiber through joint ventures where T-Mobile does the marketing, sales, and customer support while the fiber company does the network planning and installation.  50%-50% financial split not being consolidated into their books. I think discussion of other spectrum would have diluted the fiber joint venture discussion. They do have a fund which one use is to purchase new spectrum. Sale of the 800Mhz would go into this. It should be noted that they continue to buy 2.5Ghz spectrum from schools etc to replace leases. They will have a conference this fall to update their overall strategies.  
    • The manual network selection sounds like it isn't always scanning NR, hence Dish not showing up. Your easiest way to force Dish is going to be forcing the phone into NR-only mode (*#*#4636#*#* menu?), since rainbow sims don't support SA on T-Mobile.
    • "The company’s unique multi-layer approach to 5G, with dedicated standalone 5G deployed nationwide across 600MHz, 1.9GHz, and 2.5GHz delivers customers a consistently strong experience, with 85% of 5G traffic on sites with all three spectrum bands deployed." Meanwhile they are very close to a construction deadline in June for 850Mhz of mmWave in most of Ohio iirc. No reported sightings.
    • T-Mobile Delivers Industry-Leading Customer, Service Revenue and Profitability Growth in Q1 2024, and Raises 2024 Guidance https://www.t-mobile.com/news/business/t-mobile-q1-2024-earnings — — — — — I find it funny that when they talk about their spectrum layers they're saying n71, n25, and n41. They're completely avoiding talking about mmWave.
    • Was true in my market. Likely means a higher percentage of 5g phones in your market.
