So much for the excitement of 2pm today. This is an epic fail on Samsung's part.

I thought the S5 was suppose to be a completely new design...
Dislike.

Samsung really screwed up this time. Not even a new touchwiz, looks worse than the s4. Horrible dissapointment

what a big failed........$amsung.......:laugh:

Just in case people don't know, it's been reported on multiple sits that Samsung scaled back a lot on Touchwiz and S applications and features.

MY EYES,MY EYES! My eyes are still vomiting.. xD

only reason why im doing it, is cuz of ics, i just cant wait 3 months or so for it to be released on the sgs2 =/
Not to troll or anything, I think the Gnex is a great phone also but I read up on that forum that a lot of people are also having some screen issues with that phone.

Galaxy Nexus is the only other phone out right now I would consider switching to from the SGS2. So will we be seeing your dad hanging around the SGS2 forums now?

Same here. There will be some beneficial changes & fine-tuning, but I think it's mainly hype over having the next new thing. Same reason iFans stand in line for hours to get the new fruit phone that has a few slight differences, lol I'm actually not looking forward to ICS too much just because I foresee a lot of app compatibility issues.

I played with galaxy nexus and its an awesome phone, ics is the shizzle...the screen is also a lot better than the gs2 (more vibrant)(resolution) also there is great development going on for the gn...I would buy it, but non contract price is ridiculous ...so ill pass....plus we should see a leak of ics soon...even better galaxy s3 shows her body and talents
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
If you were using a g2x I could see paying the off contract price for a GN, but if you are using a SII is it that hard to wait 2 or 3 months for an off contract international SIII?

I think I'm gonna start porting again.

And I won't break any rules this time, I'll make sure to ask permission from the creator to edit his/her content and post it on our device, and this will be the LAST ROM I will be porting, if I do. After that, I'm done porting and I will be upgrading to either the iPhone 5 or the HTC One or S Blaze​
OT: Which should I get?
(A) a Nokia Lumia windows phone
(B) An HTC One/One S
(C) an iPhone 5
(D) a Galaxy S family phone

I've thought about getting a Windows Phone. Specifically the Lumia 521. I love the UI and hardware but I think not having apps like Instagram would be hard (its my favorite social network). I have also thought about the LG L9.

The iPhone 5 is nice. Especially the camera. I would get one but I cannot afford it. I would get the iPhone over the One S, better hardware and the new iOS update should be pretty remarkable with Johnny Ive handling it.

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it. So 1 for One S and 2 for iPhone 5. The vote will end by May 15th.

Then wait for some time and save money. Do u think I had that much money? It is almost impossible for me to put that much money for a phone specially when I have to pay lots of money for college. But I waited for about 3-4 months, my mom and I collected money and finally bought the beauty. Now, you already have that much money to put on a galaxy s3 why not to wait a little, collect money and buy N4 , I would have done this if I was in your place. Remember, you are not going to buy that much expensive phone everyday so save some money and buy a good one. Come on, there is a little difference in price of S3 and N4 even if u make a deal with your provider. There will be little difference. Now its ur wish

i got the Galaxy S2

What happened to all these great Roms we were supposed to get?

Just curious where all these Roms for our Sprint Samsung Galaxy S4 are?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda premium
We have lots of them ..which "great one " are you waiting for :what:
Seems like many of the DEVs have left Sprint for Verizon and/or decided they like their Note2's better.A lot of the rest all seem to be obsessed with AOSP/AOKP/CM Roms despite the fact that it removes most of the functionality that makes this phone great.
Unfortunately the blind hatred of TouchWiz for no good reason is hurting this phone.
Learn to build your own rom.

Ya on all the aosp the cameras are not even close to the stock one"unless there is a stock camera apk .".I see your point.. really haven't looked at it like that..that being said I would still never go back .pacman with faux =:beer::beer:
There are as many good roms for the Sprint version as there are for the others. Also, you guys should feel lucky that that Sprint has felt charitable enough to not lock this device down like Verizon and AT&T have as devs are indeed leaving those versions even as we speak.....

I don't even think I have seen a single Dev from either the epic touch community or gs3 go from sprint to Verizon.I've seen ATT and T-Mobile. Anyways we have many great devs in our community. And you can't expect every single one that you like to get the same phone as you. Since we don't all have upgrades at the same time. Some may have used it on a gs3 and now can't upgrade until gs5 or simply don't have the money to upgrade. We are all regular people. My guess is that by black Friday time we will have many more devs come over. This happened with the gs3. The number of Roms jumped a lot from what I remember since some people were able to get the gs3 for a penny with an upgrade.
And since when is there a blind hatred for touch wiz. Over the past two years I have seen more people prefer Touchwiz Roms over AOSP based. Easy comparison, check the number of posts and views of all aosp based Roms to that of touchwiz. And tell me which one has more. This goes for the sprint gs3 as well. From my view Touchwiz is the most stable and fully functional ROM for Samsung phones.

We have solid roms. Also take note this phone is still fairly new. Another thing to remember is that many people use stock rooted since this phone provides a rock solid experience. We got official cm support pretty much at launch the s2 never was like that
Too bad Calkulin went to another carrier.

Seems like Samsung is listening to owners

I just got recruited for a U.S. study of Gear owners.
Sounds pretty standard - Samsung are trying to figure out to how make things better and paying $200 to participants willing to give Galaxy Gear feedback for about 2 weeks.
Not sure how many they're taking but I spoke to a Jairo Rojas at the research company they hired at 818-530-1004 if anyone wants to get in on it. I got recruited because I also did a focus group in Los Angeles a while back.
Seems pretty cool way to make Gear better and make a little side cash..
So call and ask for ?

I am too old and cynical for this. Could be true, but if they ask for too much personal information, or money, then stay away, is what I would recommend.
If all turns out great, then that would be wonderful, but this is the Internet we are talking about, so be wary.

I know I got recruited because I participated in the past in focus groups with this company in LA so I know they're legit. While not a much fun as beer focus groups, I thought it relevant to share since we all want to see Gear get better.
I'm sure Google is doing similar things with Glass owners, etc. Plus the money never hurts as well.

many companies are giving a call and asking how did you like their product or service. does it mean they care about customers?
not really. this is the illusion of care...
Focus group are a thing of the past.
Acceleration and Innovation comes with putting a release out there and, test and learn which is what happening with gear 1,and the manager platform.
Samsung is learning now, real time, as everyone uses the products. Gear2 will be a great version. They will pack as much crap in there as they can because, it's setting the bar for the rest of wearable tech.
Gear 2 will be released in September at IFA..

I have some reservations about this statement. This is not the case, as they are trying to keep this product in a certain price point. As with most tech, small and incremental improvement, ie "refinements" are more likely on the future horizon.
