Android GAF, I need help.

This

or this ?

I've decided to skip the iPhone 4S, so I'm going Android.

November will both be released right ?

I would always choose an official 'google' phone. Samsung makes great hardware but their software support has been pretty rough, at least with my SGS.

You won't be happy, unless you carry a charger around with you everywhere.
I loved Cyanogen and MIUI but on the Galaxy phones (original SGS at least) battery life is terrible. <8 hours.

Hmmm. I turned off texts in the app. Guess I'll have to wait and see if I get one from someone to see if it's working.



The problem wasn't that I was getting SMS's twice, I was only getting them in Google Voice. I changed it from what it was at receiving text messages "Only via the Google Voice app" to "Also via the messaging app" only. Before, only the first was checked so that may have been why they weren't coming through to my phone.

Edit: Got it working. They should really do a step by step walkthrough of how to do everything, but hey, it's Google. Great options, not so great implementation sometimes. Love Google Voice now that it's setup though. Love that voicemails are instantly available to listen to.

Ah, I see. Sprint customers have different settings for Google Voice. I've never seen any of those

Damn, I'm pretty bummed the Prime wont be a world phone. I'm going to be in Taiwan from November 12th to the 26th and I was really hoping I could take my new phone with me. Can't justify paying the unsubsidized price for the GSM version either.

Oh well, thanks for the help.

For me, I'll be waiting until my contract is up with Sprint in about May or June, whenever 2 years from the EVO 4G came out. Nexus Prime looks pretty awesome and if it's still the best phone out then (and it's actually on Sprint) then I'll get that or whatever is comparable at the time.

Edit: not out of the woods yet, apparently when I send texts people are getting them from my Google Voice number. Ugh.

I'm due for an upgrade on my Verizon plan, (its in essence a renewal of a 2 year contract, correct?) What do you guys expect the contract price to be for the Prime? 400 is way out of my price range. 250 is what I'd be willing to pay.

i just dont want to switch everything to google voice and then they start charging. Every year they say "hey, we are going to extend the free calling in the US!" like one year they are going to charge.

short answer: no.

long answer: that depends on your data plan limit/speed, wifi availability, willingness to suffer with lower battery life and ability to set everything up right.
Click to expand...

Plus some companies will not let you have a data plan without a voice plan. But you may be able to cancel a text plan altogether.

It wasn't easy, but I think I have it now configured to where voicemails come via GV. I call via my regular line, and texts are received and sent via my native messaging app. Which is how I want it. I have unlimited everything with Sprint, I don't care about using my minutes or data or anything.

Can I just say that the new Music app is the single greatest thing to ever happen to me.

Can you use a verizon phone on sprints network? I really want the nexus prime for my sprint network.
Click to expand...
it's technically possible, but you'd have to clone a Sprint phone to do it, and that's not legal! FEDERAL OFFENSE baby! doesn't stop people from doing it or doing stuff like using their Droids, Evos and Epics on Virgin or Boost.
