Well it had been an awesome 2 years with this phone, but it is just outdated and lacks speed. My wife and I are switching to the galaxy light, she had an S1. The quadcore makes a difference. And comes stock at 1.4ghz I'll miss this little phone a lot, but its time to move on. I'll still be around to answer questions but not on a regular basis.

Sad to see you go, but I understand. I had an S1 before the Exhibit and it was a nice phone. Good luck and nice to know you'll still be here occasionally.
Still using my sgh t679.
I like that it's rooted, small screen (hate the new mini tablet phones people have), and that if I lose it I won't be out 400 or so USD...
And suprising amount of apps are compatible, don't know how long this will last since i am still on 2.3.5 android.
Its so fast and it has wifi calling!!!! How I missed that.

I thought the exhibit could do WiFi calling through Skype, but when I tried today it wouldn't call with the dial pad. Fail! I will like that option.

Got it. $10 a month is really nice, but when I can get it for half that online, I will get it from ebay, maybe. I'm still waiting to hear from t-mobile about working at a store. If that happens, maybe I can get the phone even cheaper. On the T-Mobile site it's 0 down, $9 a month. Why are you paying $40?
Did you buy the phone already? QVC has it for $150 and offers financing to break up the payments without paying more. "Order two and save on shipping!"
Its not$40 a month, it was a $40 down payment. Because my credit is not the greatest.

Awesome. It's good to hear that it's as good as I have heard. And, I see you already know about the thread on rooting this phone. I think it's still too new. Being on the cutting edge isn't always so good. AD told me about the Light and only went to the S2 because it was already rooted. I'm gonna be patient and wait the few months until I can root it and leave it rooted-stock, anyway. At least for a little while, just to get rid of the bloatware.
That's mainly what I want to do

You're aware that most people don't know how to use their phones right? An article that I recently read is a great example:
HTC researched user behavior to learn what it could benefit by changing. It learned that while lots of users have weather, music, or clock widgets configured to run on their phones, fewer than than 10% of other HTC users had anything else.
It also found that we’re just not very aware of widgets in the first place, with many users not thinking of them as any different from full-fledged apps, and we get awfully set in our ways – after the first month with a new phone, only 20% of users ever go back and really change-up their home screens.

I may not use everything my phone can do but I at least know that it's always there for me, most people still don't know that. For example, I was taking a panorama on my phone yesterday and my friend with an iPhone 5 claimed that it was a blatant copy from iOS. I find that people tend not to know features of their smartphones until Apple advertises them and they realist that their phones can do that too.
This has nothing to do with the Nexus 4/XDA.

if you have root, add this to your build.prop file(/system/build.prop/) then reboot for it to take effect. see if it helps you.

should you expect a message, probably, eventually, depending how much you tether. it took them a looooong time and lots of data before they stopped me. root has nothing to do with them stopping you from tethering, root just gives you "administrative" permission over your phone.

Agreed. The phone looks nice but I think the S4 is still better. I had a Nexus device once and it was ok. But the rom options are basically all variations of aosp/cm. It's nice having the option of TW as well.

The removable battery I could take or leave. I would've agreed with you about the SD card situation until recently, when I realized that I was using less than half of my card. I've also recently uploaded all of my music to Google Music, so my local storage needs are basically limited to photos and videos that I take with the phone. Even THAT isn't really a big deal anymore since it's all uploaded to Dropbox anyway.
Either way though, I'm willing to make the tradeoff at this point.

Good points all around.
I'm not up for an upgrade. It definitely is tempting. And I guess it would only be about $100 after selling the S4.
Just don't know if it's worth it. I can see where you're coming from after the issues you had yesterday.
