[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyMike01:
Makes perfect sense... The only keyboard smartphone they have is the LG Quantum... Also differentiates it from the Infuse.

I must say that the keyboard has me more interested.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] bradbusa:
i was kinda thinking the addition of an extra core, more memory and official Gingerbread would be enough differentiation?

i've never been a fan of flip/slide phones.. with my experience, the more moving parts it has, the more susceptible it is to wear and ultimately breaking.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyMike01:
For you and I, sure.

For the average consumer coming off their iPhone contract, not so much.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] The Jack of Clubs:
well, dont expect it to be like your tilt2. expect it to be like the samsung epic on sprint, like a captivate with a slide out keyboard, pretty pathetic for a hardware keyboard.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
If you guys don't want the keyboard, just get an unlocked GSII from newegg. It works on AT&T. We have options.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bradbusa:
ya.. good point man lol

Im sorry but I am so down to get this phone. i am actually gonna get this phone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] droe411:
It all depends on how thick it is. If it is nice and slim, I will give it a shot. I could see using a keyboard some times.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] droe411:
Also I would check T-mobile's version. Aren't T-mobile's newest phones shipping with the ability to work on AT&T's network because of the buyout? I thought I heard that a few times....
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyMike01:
Exactly. This is a good situation. We have the Infuse, the SGS II, and this new phone.

Between those three everyone should be able to get what they want.

Choice is good.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Phillyfan1290:
yea for normal customers looking forma phone they have no idea what ram or a duel core does to a phone they want easy to use and overall good phone

to be honest I garentee this will sell well. This is actually a smart move in a sales point of view. I was confused why they released the infuse and were gonna release the almost exact same phone just better specs 3 months later when most ppl were locked in a 2 year contract. Would also piss alot of my customers off that I sold the infuse to.

Alot of people like keyboards - that and battery life are the only thing that blackberry has going form them lol
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Simba501:
Damn it!

It makes perfect sense. I thought about how similar the Infuse is to the GSII, appearance-wise. While the differences are night and day, the general public wouldn't know the differences. I'm so disappointed though. There was no doubt that it was my next phone. I guess I'm waiting on the HTC Holiday.

EDIT: I suppose I could get the Euro version, but I wasn't too keen on the physical home button and was looking forward to seeing if AT&T's version would exclude it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] lost2030:
I love my Infuse, but was also anticipating the arrival of the SGSII, but when I read that the slide out keyboard phone shown today could be At&t's version...it killed it for me! I've never liked slide out keyboards cause they add so much bulk to a phone, but if this is thin it won't be that bad.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Rldowney:
Many people do not like touchscreen keyboards, this change will bring a huge portion of users to the android. To the average user, the gs2 and Infuse are very similar, the keyboard just puts a nice stamp on it to separate from the captivate and infuse. The keyboard will be what causes me to change if I do, but I love the slimness of the Infuse
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
oddly i actually hate the on screen keyboard on the infuse but had zero difficulty with the captivate. and like it was mentioned before you can buy an international sgs2 for att. it not like you are on sprint and have no options.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jz3:
I was hesitant about moving from the excellence of the tilt2 keyboard to my old cappy. After about a week there was no looking back! Att will do well with this phone however, marketing it towards business users.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] iphonedefector:
Sorry but that came straight from BGR site
[Samsung Infuse 4G] SSJ_Gomike:
I don't believe that these photos are of the Attain.... Sure it looks like an Sgs II, but didn't we already see leaked photos of the Attain with a dock a few weeks ago?

That att phone that leaked out a few weeks back looked very similar to our own Infuse, but had a very different power button placement.

It had an att logo and most were convinced it was the Attain. That phone had the ffc in the upper left corner, just like the Infuse and the Galaxy S II.

This new phone with a slide out keyboard looks more like a Vibrant with the front facing cam on the upper right corner. Cleary a very different design then the Sgs II.

Sent from my Samsung Infuse 4G
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
its hard to say anything for sure. look at the old articles on the fascinate, it was supposed to have a centered home button and no search, it looked like an i9000 with a camera flash added on. I think they even said it would have an ffc, in the end it was basically the form of the vibrant plus camera and no ffc, no chrome bezel or hump on the back.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] lyall29:
Goood news! On androidcentral.com their might be a slate version of the sgs2 as well!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] SSJ_Gomike:
Do you have the actual link?

Thanks.

EDIT - found it:

http://www.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s-2-may-be-coming-att-non-qwerty-version-well

And I must say that the fact ATT may be getting two different variants of the SGS II gives me a bit of a lift on my outlook towards the company...

That being said Im more concerned about Warranty and or Insurance.

Anyone know any more details about if I were to buy the international one what would the warranty be like?

Thanks
[Samsung Infuse 4G] P1 Wookie:
NewEgg is out of stock. lol...Personally I won't pay the off contract prices...screw that. I'm perfectly fine with my Infuse. I love this phone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dlev7:
Im now considering the INfuse, but I really want the dual core, and the extra RAM.

That being said the Infuse isnt a bad alternative.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bradbusa:
Your warranty would probably be void the day you rooted and/or unlocked it
[Samsung Infuse 4G] The Jack of Clubs:
unlocking does not void you warranty. rooting does but can easily be undone.

[Thunderbolt General] psufan5:
Given the TBolt has the sim card, it seems it would be a little crazy to switch back and forth (if not impossible). This issue was touched a while ago, but is there an easier way yet? I guess anytime you wanted to switch back to the tBolt you needed to get a new SIM card. Is this still the case? Or can you use the website to switch back and forth between phones.

Reason I am asking is that I would like to use the iPhone during my work day since all of our machines are Apple based... and tBolt any other time. It just doesn't seem possible unless something changed?
[Thunderbolt General] andr0id23:
I was also wondering how this would work. I have several phones and, until recently when I got my Tbolt, would switch between them quite often. Now with my first 4G phone, I wasn't sure that would work. From your post, it sounds like I could go online and switch from my Bolt to one of my 3g devices as I always have, but going back to the 4g Bolt might be a problem? I don't have 4g in my area, but I really am liking my bolt and don't feel the itch to switch devices yet, but I would like to be able to have the option.
[Thunderbolt General] jbh00jh:
Why not just call VZW and ask ?

That would be the easy way to answer your question.

Sent by my HTC Incredible
[Thunderbolt General] psufan5:
They give different answers each time you call! Depends who you talk to.
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
if it helps, sim cards are sim cards and the one in the tb (though it works in a slightly different way than what would be normal for a sim) is the same as any other sim card. However, if you switch to activating a 3g phone without a sim card, they will deactivate your tb sim card for sure. They may even if you don't, just because they're verizon ;) and are slightly clueless on how sim cards work still.
[Thunderbolt General] 00negative:
Can you ever switch phones online without calling Verizon. I have never been able to do it other than when setting up maybe a new phone but never switching back to an old one. Good luck though it would be nice to be able to freely switch. I have a DInc and OG Droid just sitting here
[Thunderbolt General] joshnichols189:
Switching from 4g to 3g phones you have to call in each time
[Thunderbolt General] csellebrecht:
I have tried switching from 3g phone to 4g phone and it is a pain. You need to call or go into the store and get a new sim card each time. The minute you place a 3g device on your 4g account the sim card is deactivated.

I switch back and forth now because i talked the store manager into giving me a few sim cards. You can also call every other day and have the customer service send you a new one. They are free but some stores will try to charge you.

Once you have the sim card all you need to do is turn off the 3g phone, place the new sim card in and it should activate itself.
[Thunderbolt General] psufan5:
Wow thats pretty sad that its this difficult.
[Thunderbolt General] theryanguy:
I had tried this once and it brought up a question that I did not have the guts to answer myself. If you went back to 3g for a short while then afterwards reactivated on 4g would you loose the grandfathered unlimited data?
[Thunderbolt General] joshnichols189:
No since you aren't changing your plan
[Thunderbolt General] joshnichols189:
Just talked to a VZW rep on the phone, who I'm assuming went to talk to a supervisor or a tech, and she said as long as I keep the sim card in a place where the gold contacts don't get harmed (like in the phone), then I can keep the same sim card between activations, I just have to either call in to switch back to the TB or activate it online.. She talked to someone about this after I asked if I could have a few sent to me, so I'm assuming whomever told her this at least had some knowledge on the situation, but I guess we'll find out when it's time to switch back :)
[Thunderbolt General] theryanguy:
Awesome, thanks.
[Thunderbolt General] csellebrecht:
the verizon rep that told you you can keep the sim card between activations is wrong. The sim card for verizon doesnt store any data its just basically a key to there 4g service. They can only be used for one activation and once they are deactivated they are dead. The only way to switch back and forth would be to have a surplus of sim cards. You would still have to call in and have them activate the new sim card before using it.

Ii have done this a few times on my thunderbolt so I know from experience.
[Thunderbolt General] matthew2109:
Not sure on that having multiple SIM cards is right. I have switched between my DX and Tbolt numerous times and never gotten a new sim card. I do have to call every time when reactivating the bolt though.
[Thunderbolt General] loonatik78:
I can't see how this would work since LTE and gsm cards aren't compatible. If you could do that, you could drop it in most of the decent BlackBerrys and run... But ya can't. Anyone telling you that you can isn't at all familiar with the specs.
[Thunderbolt General] stopswitch:
What a pain in the butt.
[Thunderbolt General] KidJoe:
just my experience...

Using the My Account web site, I can...

Change between multiple 3G phones, no problems.

Change from 4G/LTE phone to 3G phone, no problems other than... the Web site warns the LTE SIM will be disabled after 90 days of non-use, implying that you could re-use it for up to 90 days, BUT the SIM gets deactivated immediately.

If I try to change from 3G phone to 4G/LTE phone, no problems IF I have a NEW SIM card. If I try to re-use my SIM it fails and I need to call in. When I call in, its hit or miss if they can enter that same SIM back into the System (customer service can't, but tech support has done it) or make me get a new SIM.

I haven't tried switching in about 3 weeks. So I don't know if anything has changed since.

Also, I find it best to complete the equipment change before 11pm eastern, otherwise the device change could get hung up in VZW's switch/system and not complete/clear until the morning.
[Thunderbolt General] VZWSupport:
SIM card/switching from 4G to 3G

At this time, it is still necessry to relace the SIM card if changing from a 4G device to a 3G device. So, if you were to change devices each day, you would need a new SIM card each time. Please check out our forums for updates at our website. Go to the website for Verizon Wireless, click Contact Us, then Customer Forums. You can also sign up for email updates from this site.

Thank you and have a good day!

[Thunderbolt General] xs11e:
And there's the catch.

I used to be on T-Mobile, they offered an unlimited 4G data plan and an unlimited BIS plan so I switched between an Android (4G unlimited) and BlackBerry (BIS unlimited) from time to time. No problem, I did it on the website and never had to call in but.....

T-Mo discontinued the unlimited plans in favor of tiered plans (sound like anyone we know? <G>) while I was on the Android and I could no longer switch to the BB w/o cancelling my unlimited and getting a tiered plan.

What this means is if VZW ever changes plans again you probably won't be able to change phones w/o changing plans.

In my case, since I'd decided to change to VZW the minute the AT&T buyout became effective I just went ahead and switched immediately instead of waiting.
[Thunderbolt General] joshnichols189:
..your problem is you were switching between BiS service and normal unlimited data.. if we switched from unlimited to blackberry we would have to go to tiered as well. But non blackberry unlimited 3g and unlimited 4g are the same plan

Hi, Chainfire 3d seems to have stopped working after updating roms to I9100xxkg2 and I9100XXKG3. The issue is that riptide worked flawlessly with the plugin before, and now I cant get it to run after updating. I have tried lightening rom and Cognition (newest) and have the problem with both.

I have created a folder on my external sd card named Movies.

I use Moboplayer, and have pre-set it to only view that folder when opened. But, after viewing any of the files in the sd card folder, the folder and files are displayed in Gallery. How can I prevent that from happening?

Or, put another way, I want to store some video files on my external sd card

Sorry to be so dense here, but, I am trying to learn what to do.
[Acer Iconia A500] kierandill:
Get the free ES File Explorer from the store. You can do all the MS Windows-esque file management with that.

What is going to prevent someone else from launching Mobo and seeing the same files that you do?

I do have ES File Explorer installed, and didn't find a way to create a new file in that folder. Can you please suggest what to do when I get to the folder in question? Thanks.

As for your question about others using Mobo, is there a way to password protect a give app?
[Acer Iconia A500] The Odom Project:
Ok, es 101: the key to finding everything is the menu button that spears on the dock in es. From there you can select new> folder.

android/linux 101: any file or folder named starting with a period is deemed "hidden". An example would be a folder called .media. Because the name behind with a period, it is now hidden. To show hidden file, go into es file explorer settings, and check "show hidden files"
[Acer Iconia A500] drkalo:
...and if you don't want to play with renaming folders every time, try Hide It Pro from the market. You set a password that is required to open the app. It disguise itself as a fake audio manager. You just need to browse to the file you need to hide and select "share with audio manager". There's a really good guide inside the app when you install it but its rather simple :) Works great on Iconia.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.smartanuj.hideitpro&feature=search_result

It also displays adds but its free and your hidden content is just a "click" away :) You can hide any file type compared to Photo Vault and Video Vault (they support only several file formats and they are paid apps)
[Acer Iconia A500] UntitledX:
Use a file manager such as astro, and change the format of the video to a format that doesn't exist by renaming it, for example: video.avi ----> video.uitpo, then the video won't be shown in gallery or anywhere else, and whenever you wanna view the video just change the format back to what it was.
[Acer Iconia A500] jostarr:
