What am I crying about? What does having money or selling phones have anything to do with what I said? If that comment was meant towards myself, I held onto my G2X months after getting my Sensation and I still have my Nexus One. I sell my old phones after realizing I have no real use for them.

Thanks for proving my point though. I knew someone would. And by the way. I still have my G2X since the only jack ass who bid on the phone was a user with zero feedback and still hasn't paid. Looks like nobody even wanted it for $280. I may have overpriced it! At this point Ill probably just hold onto it if nobody here wants it. What's the point of selling it when I'm going to take a $300 hit. If that's the case, ill just keep it so I can still play the Nvidia games.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
This was my plan aswell. You know damn straight ATT is going to jerk around the T-mobile customers who aren't under contract.

Wrong thread dude...

But no, I will not be purchasing the Hercules. I'm gonna wait for the next Nexus Phone. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Kivamaki:
I don't understand why people think the Hercules is the new gs2 that surfaced yesterday. Why would they call the phone "Hercules" when its clearly inscribed on the back "galaxy s II".
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vaerio81:
Well the vibrant has galaxy s in the back and was called vibrant so Mayb the same thing is happening with Hercules ..........

And yeah ima try to get it too but ima wait month or two before i buy it just to see everything gets worked out first .....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vapor311:
Here in the house ill be struggling with this personally. I came from the iPhone then captivate(swore last purchase EVER from Sammy) then nexus one then mytouch4g then nexus s then s4g then g2x. Now that being said. I still use the g2x my wife uses my nexus s and I kept the s4g around as a spare. Oh I forgot the HTC hd2. I have a real issue going to Samsung again. The captivate reallllly soured me and the nexus s was not a.large upgrade IMO over current market phones when it arrives. Its value was Google.

The debate for me is Hercules power or nexus 3 which is very likely to be Samsung produced as well but will at least be Google updated.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Bspence415:
After reading the specs on that beast unfortunately I will be leaving my g2x behind and giving the hercules a try. I'm feeling that 4.5 inch display and samoled + if it truly looks as sexy as the Nexus s did thats a plus as well may even be my last phone.......until a quadcore comes around ;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ahspyerr:
Yes as soon as it releases I will trade in g2x for it

[T-Mobile LG G2x] LordButtersI:
Meh, the extra RAM doesn't mean much to me and I couldn't care less about storage space. As for screens, the G2X's is perfectly fine.

My next phone is probably going to be around the time when ICS comes out. I'm thinking 1.5 GHz dual core, maybe something in quad-core. And 1.5 GB ram, maybe 2. A significant jump is really what I'm aiming at here.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bighulk666:
I'm sure it is since it's 1.5ghz vs 1.2ghz. The GPU acceleration/special drivers is what people are yelling about.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] destroyerbmx:
Yeah, makes sense, I didnt think about it, its harder to port roms to it. Completely overlooked that, and thats the most important thing about it!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KiNG OMaR:
ლ(ಠ益ಠლ) What recent tests?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
It's the same SoC/GPU that's in the Sensation. Overclocked Sensation's don't benchmark as well as the SGS2. The one hope is that Samsung does a better job with the drivers and includes browser hardware acceleration. Benchmarks aside, the phone should perform well or Samsung wouldn't have labled it "SGS2."
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr mystery:
In Canada it's beng called the "Galaxy S II X" so Samsung is seperating it from the others.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
I think part of the reason for giving it (them) the SGS2 name is so they can count the sales as being within the SGS2 family. I'd also guess having the phone snubbed by VZW had to be a bummer from a sales target perspective.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] whoamanwtf:
I went to a sensation and then back to the G2x that gpu was trash. It didn't work well for gameloft games or bench well. In the benches the fps was always low. The tegra is much faster. also Arm7 opposed to arm9, at the same clock this CPU blows the Qualcomm away, and the gpu out performs it as well.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bluedart:
Definitely getting the SG2, my G2x is alright but the noisy camera and lack of support isn't doing it for me.

On a side note, have you guys noticed that the talktime on tmobile site lists only 4 hours min http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/Phones/cell-phone-detail.aspx?cell-phone=T-Mobile-Galaxy-S-II whereas the Telus site for their SG2 x (same thing?) is 9 hours* http://www.telusmobility.com/en/BC/samsung_galaxy_s_II_x/index.shtml?INTCMP=HomeILCC3samsungGalaxySIIX
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
No its not sorry to say but Tegra is not beating out the s3 maybe in gpu but tegra 2 is kinda old news. Plus its all about how u optimize the processor, and samsung is great at that. Anyways we got high scores cuz were mostly. converted to ext4 which equal higher I/o scores. Not sure if the galaxy is ext4 and to the other Guy yea that 4 hours of talk time isn't right I heard it was a typo besides t-mobiles versions battery is huge impossible, 1850ma

I was going to say I'm waiting for for Tuesdays announcement but it looks like Google/Samsung cancelled the event :( However; a site in Romania leaked this and I am going to wait for the Prime. Have a gander.

lol jk but after reading an article http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-19736_...-hercules-to-be-t-mobile-galaxy-s-ii-variant/

it seems like it's a different one than the low spec one I've read about a couple months back. If it is the Galaxy S II, be freakin deal. I'm already locked into my contract for the next 2 years.

That just ties you to a service agreement, not a particular machine. You can stick your sim card into whatever you want.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
The only feature overly attractive to me, is the 1GB RAM. But since I probably won't have need for that until at least Ice Cream Sandwich comes out, I do believe I'll wait and be happy with my fully-working G2x.

Btw: I love my G2x, and I'm VERY, VERY, glad that I didn't give up on it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] robluck82:
i'm on the other end of that thinking. 4.5 inches is quite a size for a phone, my g2x i feel is perfect, still "pocketable" yet large enough to use. i may get another 7" tablet or something...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vapor311:
For the record I posted in here because I'm a current g2x user and wanted to get opinions of other g2x users.

Just an fyi.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
ya I didn't think they were going to actually use a 4.5 inch screen unless there are no capacitive buttons that phone is a little too large for me my hands are not super big so it would probably feel to large. I'm still gonna play with it. Hopefully it wont look poxelated and nasty.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
The name's actually meaningless. Sprint's was to be called "Within" and got renamed to Epic 4G Touch. The part that was confusing was the 4.5" screen and Qualcom SoC which made it seem spec wise more like a beefed up Infuse than an SGS2. Well, the mystery's solved. This link talks about a version of the SGS2 launching in Korea and Germany that's essentially the same as what we now know as the Hercules. For better or worse, it will have the same Qualcomm SoC as the Sensation.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
The CPU of the Hercules is just pure speculation at this point. I have not seen any hard evidence of any spec besides it's display and display size. At this point, nobody knows whats going to be inside of it.

See, if you would have read more of my past posts, you would see that the idiot who won the auction had zero feedback and never paid. Looks like I couldn't even get $280 for a near mint condition G2X so at this point I am probably just going to keep it. Its not worth it to sell if I'm going to take a $300 hit on it. I misewell just keep it to mess around with ROMS and play Nvidia games.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sstang2006:
I was thinking on waiting for the Nexus 3 but now it depends. I'm not happy with my G2x at all, LG and Tegra 2 was a big disappointment for me.

If nexus 3 is not too far off then I MAY wait for it. But if I see anyone from CM team interested in the Hercules, then I will get it. I really have no complains about Samsung.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Eh. I hope not. I think that Samsung will give every US GSII the same chipset as so far, all of the other regions have used the same chipset on their carriers. I think Samsung has saved enough Exynos processors for one of its favorite most valuable markets. Were the USA. We should be getting the best. A Quallcom or Tegra II would not be the best.

Samsung shmamsung. I'm still healing from the burns caused by my Vibrant. The G2X is pretty snazzy, but Tmo is always going to get gimped out phones because they're not the top dog provider. I don't trust Sammy, and I think the support for the Hercule (said with French accent because I think the phone will be just as ridiculous) will be pitiful and the XDA forums will overflow once again with hatred and bile towards the big S. As much as things change, they still stay the same. Give us the freaking SGS II and not some 2-bit stand in!

Edit: AH, that felt good. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
I have an international SGS2 and what I've found out is that update problems are the fault of the U.S. carriers. My SGS2 has received 5 updates directly from Samsung since May. The international versions of the Sensation received an update weeks ago that the T-Mobile version still hasn't received. Between their crapware, idiotic design changes, and neutering of OEM features it takes the U.S. carriers forever to certify an update. Because it's so hard, a lot of times, they skip updates received by the rest of the world entirely. It's a risk with any phone modified by a U.S. carrier not just Samsung's.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
You couldn't be more right. Our providers are so god damn full of themselves its not even funny. They should get their paws out of the update process and just let Samsung patch as needed. When it comes to the ammount of bloatware their giving us, it really is absurd. They are ruining the user experience and causing more issued with our phones. If they feel the need to pre load all this **** we will never use, atleast give us the option to delete it. In a perfect world they would give us the option to install what we want during the setup process.

In the end, Samsung has turned a leaf. Their a very smart company and they know what they needed to do in order to win over the Android community. This is not the same Samsung we saw during the Behold II days and every phone they release, they gets better and better. The innovation their bringing to the table is leaps and bounds above any one else. Apple sees Samsung as its biggest threat and and for good reason.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vapor311:
What carrier are you using the sgs2 on? Just curious about how you get the updates. Kies or ota.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
Yes that's always the deal breaker.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
AT&T, it replaced my G2X in May. I'm on the unlimited data for Non-Smartphone's $10.00 a month plan and get fake-4G speeds (where available). Their network is slower than T-Mobile's and the max I've gotten is 8MB down. Samsung doesn't do OTA so everything's through Kies (official) or Odin (bootleg).

The international versions of Samsung's phones are shipped unlocked. I guess the U.S. would be too unless mandated differently by the U.S. carrier.

In the parking lot where the tower is I never saw over 7.0 down.

I live about 20 miles outside of Baltimore city and I get about 6 mb/s at my house. When I'm working inside of Baltimore city, I usually get between 8 and 10 mb/s.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Line of sight and distance are not the only contributing factors for data speed. You also have to take into account how much bandwidth T-Mobile has allocated for that tower, then you have to factor in how many people are currently using bandwidth on that tower. Every tower T-Mobile has obviously doesn't have the same amount of available bandwidth. Higher populated areas get more bandwidth allocated to their towers in order to handle the user load. When you see people post these huge numbers from their speed test scores like 12mb/s, their usually performing these tests in a high populated area at 3am in the morning when nobody else is using them. That's exactly where these companies pull there theoretical speed from. Theoretically, if your sitting next to their most powerful tower and performing a speed test when nobody else is using that tower, you will hit those theoretic speeds. That is of course the sun, moon and stars are all aligning that night.

OK back on topic, is anyone else worried about the fact that me might not be getting the exynos and getting quallcomm?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
I'm worried. I would think Samsung would want each region to use the same CPU so I'm hoping we all get the Exynos. I just hope they saved some of those chips for one of its best markets.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mysterioustko:
For me, since the Nexus Prime is rumored to be arriving in October I just can't justify purchasing a Hercules. And to be quite honest I'm a bit less than impressed with the resolution choice Samsung made with the Galaxy S2 (lol qhd on my Sensation has me spoiled). All in all, I think I like the idea of a higher res Nexus Prime over the Hercules. The only drawback will be having to use a smaller screen...but I'll live :D lol

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Every tower in every area of T-Mobiles coverage map is obviously not going to have the same amount of bandwidth. They have to very methodically pick and choose which tower gets X amount of bandwidth and which tower gets Y amount of bandwidth. It's just not as simple as your making it out to be. I would also venture to say Vegas is a pretty weird place when it comes to peak/down times. Unlike most other cities in the US, Vegas never sleeps. There are probably more people up at 3AM in Vegas than there is in Baltimore. You also have to account for towers re-routing traffic to others. You just never know whats really happening. Maybe T-Mobile didn't give Vegas a lot of bandwidth or maybe the towers there are using dated technology. I don't know but what I'm saying is there's to many factors to try and understand why you never break 7 mb/s. What I do know is I always get over 7 mb/s in Baltimore City and I've seen higher speeds in other cities.

In the end however 7 mb/s is more than enough for a cell phone at this point. Your data speed is not the bottle neck at that point.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
Here's Samsung's product road map. The last phone mentioned could be the Exynos version of the Celox (Hercules) because the specs are the same. Anything "GT" is the international version of a phone distributed worldwide directly by Samsung. HTC's Vigor is 4.5" too. Why the OEM's are pushing these gigantic screens is beyond me. Although if ICS does away with h/w buttons than I guess a bigger screen doesn't necessarily mean a bigger phone.

Meanwhile, in phones, the GT-I9250 is probably the most exciting. It’s said to have a

4.65-inch 1280 x 720

resolution display and a 5-megapixel camera, and run Ice Cream Sandwich on an unspecified processor which, we’re guessing, will be a dual-core. Its sibling, the GT-I9220, is even bigger, with a MID-rivaling

5.29-inch 1280 x 720

Super AMOLED Plus panel, a dual-core 1.4GHz processor, 8-megapixel camera and Android 2.3 Gingerbread.

The rumored 1.4GHz GT-I9200 upgrade to the Galaxy S II isn’t mentioned, but the I9210 gets a look-in, with a

4.5-inch 800 x 480

touchscreen, 4G connectivity and an 8-megapixel camera. There’s also supposedly WiFi b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0, GPS and a 2-megapixel front-facing camera, Full HD video recording support and a 1750 mAh battery, all in an Android-running 128g package.
