Lack of picking up LTE on 1900 is not necessarily related to picking up voice on 800. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk

I have used the Sprint G2, it is most definitely 32GB. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk

That sucks. Sell less upgrades, add more tablets ;-) Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk

On the plus side, Sprint sales support is really fast and easy to deal with. By far my favorite carrier to call. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk

The old plans got turned off on the 10th for us. We have to call Sprint sales support to process an upgrade on the old plans. I personally haven't had to deal with an add a line situation. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk

That is the million dollar question. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk

If my memory serves me "Chameleon" is the name of Sprint's program to offer Sprint phones to MVNOs with the ability to quickly switch to custom setups to match the MVNO via SprintID. Edit in link http://newsroom.sprint.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=2539 Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk

That seems to be the case with the both GS4 and HTC One GPE phone's. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk

The bump in RAM seems a little suspect. Why waste the money to add RAM to a phone that will be running a slimmed down more efficient OS? Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk

That's why I wrap up my device with a Zagg invisibleSHIELD. Accidents happen, always practice safe mobile connections. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk

The noise cancelation mic is on the top of the Sprint version. I think someone asked earlier where it was located. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk

A few quick thoughts on the G2. It is fast, but we all knew this. Almost all modern smartphones are fast. The hardware on top end devices pretty much makes sure that everything flies. The G2 is no exception. The notification shade is a wee bit cluttered. With Android now natively supporting quick settings via a second page on the notification shade, there is very little reason to clutter up the pulldown with with all of the toggles. About 1/3 of the notification shade is already full of stuff before you even get a notification. From what I understand some of the other carrier versions allow some of these to be disabled to clean things up a bit, I have not had the opportunity to dig into setting to see what the Sprint version allows to be disabled. Odd annoyance regarding notifications. It seems that even if the screen is off if an application is running in the foreground you will not see the notification if you pull down the notification shade. You will see the notification in the status bar, but if you pull it down to see more details it is gone. All of this is if the screen is still locked. I only noticed this when using Google Hangouts. I am a very active user of Hangouts so this really stuck out to me. My common practice if I receive a Hangouts notification is to pull down to see a quick preview to see if it is something I need to unlock the phone and respond to. With the G2 the notification disappears when you pull it down. Like I mentioned earlier, this only seems to happen if Hangouts is the app running "under" the lockscreen. If another app or the home screen is where I left the phone before I locked it the notifications seem to work just fine. I really enjoy the knock on feature, it is very convenient and somewhat necessary because of the button placement on the back. As most of you know you can wake the phone by double tapping the screen, this also works to turn of the screen by double tapping an empty space on the homescreen or double tapping the status bar. Note if you use a different launcher (I usually use Nova) you lose the ability to turn off the screen by double tapping on the homescreen. It will still turn it off by double tapping the status bar, so you don't lose the functionality completely. The camera seems really good in limited testing. I obviously am not in an environment to test many different scenarios, but it seems good in limited testing. LG has their own version of Photospheres called VR Panorama, it works a little differently than the stock Nexus version, but seems to work well enough. I for one am looking forward to taking some photospheres without having to use some crash prone hacked version of the apk that I currently have on my current phone. All phones should support it at this point. I will follow up with more impressions as I notice things going forward. Keep in mind that I am using a phone that is almost a month away from release, there still could be software issues that will be addressed prior to release.

I have personally connected the Sprint G2 to Wifi. Worked wonderfully. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 4

As of this moment it appears to be online only. That could change in the future. I will definitely pass on if it becomes available in store. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 4

I hope your Samsung rep is better than ours. Ours showed me a "secret" photo of the Gear about a month before it was announced. It was not a picture of the Gear. It was one of the Internet "leaks" that was debunked. I didn't have the heart to tell him his picture had been debunked several days before. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 4

No new SIM cards yet Are we sure it is a new card, or is the authentication different via software? Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 4

I thought that was weird also. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 4
