Yes and No, While i think having them combined will be best for all parties. As the requested topic we can make them easier to deviate new threads.
I hope that is the case, if labled with the right tag, we will only need to focus on that when looking at topics. I for one want to focus on all Sprint related topics/questions first, and if I have time help the rest of the SGS3 owners. But Id like to be closer friends with the people that are on the same carrier as me... No offence ;)

Don't forget ...

Don't forget (Americans often do) that there's also Rogers, Bell, and Telus, not to mention a few more in Canada.

Rogers, Bell and Telus use the AT&T I747. I'm not sure about Virgin, Mobilicity, etc.

Peter

Addendum: I really should say that Rogers, Bell and Telus use the I747, which AT&T also uses. I really don't like saying it's an AT&T I747, because it's not.

Personally, I will try and use [I747] on all my posts.

There's advantages to both ways. But I'm not sure that the average user base will be able to take advantage of this setup and NOT cause a cluster#$%@. Not to mention the tendency to repeat previously asked questions... with four times as many carriers.

Exactly, this could get bad fast, and I see even more MOD attention would be needed, idk, maybe we are wrong and this will all work out for the best. Id love to see it be as easy as possible to stay connected and informed (on Sprint related topics mostly). I already find it hard to concentrate, but that's a personal problem I guess ;)

This format is going to get ugly. I actually enjoy talking to my sprint colleagues and I rather click away on sprint related threads then having to filter through them.

XDA is about hacking devices, not discussing carriers. Don't forget that.

Go to a carrier-related forum if you want that.


I, for one, see this as a good change. Speaking as an engineer/developer.



Already we have 2 Off-Topic threads discussing this change. Don't complain about off-topic threads when you post in them.

Not really a good change, a step in the right direction, yes. But I for one only want to see Sprint related general/off topic posts when I come into the SGS3 general forum. That's why I ask for the tags. I mean that is a system in its self that needs to be used here ( I would love to see that happen). I'm just saying that makes it so much easier when scanning, and when you don't want to have to subscribe to all the Sprint related topics just to keep up with what your trying to focus on is ridiculous if you ask me.

I think I found your problem.

Okay, so other than:
1. Bitching about poor coverage.
2. Bitching about LTE roll-out.
3. Bitching about bundled apps.
4. Bitching about insurance/TEP.

What else possibly belongs in the General section that's Sprint-specific?


XDA has an off-topic section. Go there if you want to talk about whatever. It's about time these forums get back to device/development. This place has been taken over by whiny 14 year olds for too long.

And get off my lawn! :p

Tho we wouldn't have to if we had separate forums. I know in the past there were several that would cross platforms from international version to US versions and that was great, but I think it's a bit confusing to do it like this and if you're going to label every thread with a carrier anyway, why not just have it's own forum?? :confused:

It is what it is I guess.

Hey the other day I seen this phone at a Sprint store, some girl offered me a favor for a look at my SGS3 PB 32gb Sprint version, I said I didn't have it yet, but soon I will be able to flash it for that favor you offered :)

Cool [Sprint] story right?
