thewezgrays Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Took my mother to a store that had one of the fake ATT phones and the size was a bit big for her (she really like the Note 3 size -- damn the price and single-band)... but she thinks she will get used to it (doesn't talk much on it.. looks forward to using it like a tablet)... I just want to find it a bit cheaper (wirefly or amazon maybe) since it really isn't a $199 subsidized phone (I think the unlocked ones are going for $400ish new from what I quickly saw)... Well, after all that -- and all the hoopla of the single band on the Note 3 -- that is what she is getting -- the mega was just too big for her.. didn't hurt that Amazon Wireless has the Note 3 for $249 right now.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owensri2 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Just went into a Sprint Store and played with the Mega. Man, that thing is huge! I'm gonna wait a bit though until we start seeing some 800 LTE roll out before I jump on it. Probably will be my next device though. I know I'm definitely going to change those ugly looking data icons, ugh...haha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eljayyy91 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 She loves it though and holds onto lte like a beast. Didn't really play with it but had 4g at her house which my s3 never gets it. And the 4g was even useable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like I have just been caught cheating! I've had Sprint for years and now I've been caught with AT&T and Sprint is filing for divorce...

kwongsam1985 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 You got my Galaxy Mega a couple of days ago. I have some concerns while playing with it hopefully S4GRU has some insight on the matter. Keep in mind I live in Orange County, Southern California. 1) I've noticed everytime the 4GLTE signal lights up, my phone signal bar drops to 1 bar. While when the 3G signal lights up, the bar goes to a normal phone signal range. 2) Lately people are unable to make direct calls to me. I usually receive a voice mail inidicating the missed call. I was hoping someone inside S4GRU can share some thoughts. I haven't spoken to a Sprint representative as of yet as I entrust that S4GRU usually provides a direct answer.

Read the most recent article on the Wall. You've got a Tri-Band phone, so until Sprint upgrades the 3G in your area, you'll have problems. It's unfortunate, I know.

Don't qoute me on this but I think with android 4.3+ signal bars show lte. So with sprint using 1900 mhz for lte mostly at this point your just bound to have a weaker 4g signal then 3g. Sad fact of 4g, better speeds means less coverage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twospirits Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Every time I go to the Sprint store I check it out and I always leave undecided. I really like the size of that screen. Being its tri-band is a plus, but I miss the S-pen that the Note 3 had and software. argghh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it has to do with Android, but rather that the device is tri-band. Refering to the recent article, we learned that you can only be on one type of network at a time. Thus, when on LTE, the only network that the device can see is the LTE. Therefore, the signal bars will show LTE signal strength. When the device switches to CDMA/1X, it shows that signal strength. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartialRanger23 Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 Okay, so in a sad attempt to keep me somewhat anonymous (how many people own a Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 and wear a Disciples shirt?), I have covered part of my face in this photo just to give poeple an idea of the size of this phone. The phone feels just right to me though. Yeah. It's big, I get it. But it's awesome. Always annoying when someone asks me if it's an S4. Yeah, it's an S4...on steroids! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
