First of all rooting/using custom ROMs technically voids your warranty, but anyone with an IQ higher than 2 can reset the flash counter and go back to all stock before sending it in for the warranty.

1) It takes 5 minutes to update, why would anyone want to have it spoon fed to you? That's the problem with people, get off your ass and do it.

2) SGSII's have been out for a long time, any defects found now are extremely unlikely to pop up. SGSII's are also EXTREMELY durable (Drop Test). If you need a new battery, they cost $30, I make that in 2 hours of honest work.

3) We live in the 21st Century, anything on an FM radio can be found on the internet in 5 seconds. Wanna listen to music? BUY it Mr. Businessman.

4) What SPECIFIC features did AT&T remove? One of my buddies from England had an SGSII International and it was EXACTLY the same, it lacked features from our phone.

5) 4 Buttons vs. 1? I'd rather have 4 buttons to actually have ease of access. If I wanted a phone with that sluggish "multi-purpose" button, I'd go buy an iCrapPhone.

6) Unless you are downloading movies 24/7, the AT&T 4g is sufficient. I get 2mb/s downloads and I stream Netflix, YouTube, and Hulu to my phone in HD. Unless you are downloading DVD rips or other illegal data, the speed is more than sufficient.

Get some legit complaints next time. Kthnx bai.

1)How about just unlock your phone? It takes literally 10 minutes to do.

2)I don't know which internet you've been browsing, but the ROM development, case development, and external battery development have almost caught up to the International SGS2. What accessories do you need? I own all the essentials: SGP Neo Hybrid Case, 32gb SD, Screen Protector, Backup battery, 3200 Mah External battery, and an on the go battery charger. Unless you want stickers made for the AT&T SGS2, it has more than an adequate number of accessories.

3)Making fun of somebody because they use old tech? Can't get much nerdier than that. No matter what laptop you buy, it is already out of date, if it works, then why not use it? FYI, 4 years ago was late 2007, even the crappiest were only 2 inches thick, learn your facts.

You're complaining about things that can easily be fixed and also about untrue facts. Wanna buy an international. SGSII? GOOD, one less pompous arse on the forums.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BarryH_GEG:
Nice rant. Only two of your responses are worth addressing. If you had bothered to read the previous posts, you'd have seen the discussion about the AT&T radio being locked even with an unlocked SIM. I'd say that's a big "feature" change. Add to that modifications to tethering, the removal of display modes, and inability to deactivate data and I'd say AT&T's been quite busy. As for the button layout, I like the hard home button. One press=home, two=tasks/apps, and hold=Vlingo. It's that way everywhere in the world but I guess it's considered too complex for American's to comprehend so they changed it. At least it suits you. As I also said, people who roam internationally have problems registering on foreign networks with modded phones so half your "solutions" are worthless. Let's try another approach, you name anything hardware or software wise on the AT&T version that's better than the international version that's 100% the way Samsung intended it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gtg465x:
You can easily get all of that back if you root or install a custom rom though. If you're here on xda, you probably are.

AT&T did add some nice functionality. Alphabetical sorting in the app drawer, the ability to set which home screen is default, ota updates, nfc, etc.

So really it's a toss up. Both are great. I got the AT&T version to have a valid warranty from Samsung without having to send my phone to another country when something breaks. Plus I like buying brick and mortar so I can exchange on the spot if my device has a defect out of the box.

Um... same as the AT&T version. Single press for home, double for Vlingo, and hold for tasks/apps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ngocdao:
Apples and oranges. We're talking a few mm here. You make like its the difference between an IBM and a MB Air.

If the cases basically fit both versions, its obvious that there isn't a huge difference.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] juntjoo:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gtg465x:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Misterjunky:
re: FM Stereo Radio

(FM Radio)

Perhaps a good place to start would be to look in the rom of the

Samsung SGS2 i9100 because that does have a working fm radio.

Therefore it must have whatever software it needs or requires.

If nothing else it's at least some kind of good starting point.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
I got something att doesnt. A WHITE galaxy s II 9100 :-)

And I love how now I don't have network manual select issues. I don't use FM radio but it does work on my version. Bought it and about 10 cases tonight. I'll post pics when I get back to the US later this week.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] daverod:
So, on the AT&T version, you can hit the capacitive Home button twice for Vlingo, and long-press the search button for Google Voice Actions?

If so, is it Vlingo's 'Voice Talk' or 'Voice Commands'? I saw some discussion about the different voice options for each.

Thanks

Dave
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gtg465x:
Yes. Double tapping home gives you Vlingo Voice Commands. Long pressing search can be set to launch either Vlingo Voice Talk or Google Voice Actions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gasolara2002:
In reading this thread and suffering through the same problems when I went overseas I agree that the better buy would be the ISGS2. The access to manually selecting networks overseas is very important. Only the people who haven't traveled out of the country wouldn't understand. The cosmetic differences is up to the person. I personally like touchwiz 4.0. The only things i have to add on it is Power Amp music player so i can play WMA files and my usual apps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
I agree totally. The people who say it works fine obviously haven't travelled outside the US. I got the SGS II intl and no longer have the issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Caligula36:
So will pretty much every custom ROM on here for the SGS2 unlock the manual network selection menu? That seems to be the only drawback to the US version if you prefer the four button layout.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gasolara2002:
To answer your question custom roms with another radio flashed on it will enable it to work. The thing that is not being addressed is just because you can access the menu doesn't mean that it works. I have confirmed on the captivate from my trip overseas last summer that it only worked properly with AT&T's radio out of the device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
Yes and no. The phone still has some issues even with non att radio but for the most part that works. If you travel a lot like me the international version is the easiest fix for stress free travel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gasolara2002:
Correct!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RojasTKD:
I like the AT&T version. I don't like that large apple like center button (seriously stop taking design ideas from apple... I DON"T WANT AN iANYTING). The slight thickness and weight increase are a non issue to me, the phone is more than thin and light enough.

Wish AT&T kept the FM radio though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
Yeah I like the no button idea ... its the way everything is heading especially in ICS but I love my new white international version. The menu and back version are invisible until pressed. Just landed back in the US. I'll post pics later I'm on my last flight home.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gtg465x:
It's really easy. Just a matter of unlocking your device, removing the csc, and dropping in an apns-conf.xml from the international version. If you aren't comfortable Modding your device the international version might be better if you plan on traveling a lot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
Please do post a step-by-step. From everything I've experienced while travelling, it seems the only way I've been able to bypass and manually select in the past was when I had infuse and I'd used your custom ROM (Infused) in conjunction with the Rogers Radio (rogers doesn't limit their customers' ability to manual selection menu). Failure to have been using BOTH your Infused 2.3.3 AND the Rogers radio would lock me out of the Manual Network Scan menu, and just grey it out to "Default" which=whatever ATT wants you to be attached to.

If you do know of an alternate way to re-enable that menu, please do share.

I ended up taking the leap and getting one of the i9100's (in nice looking white) while I was in Thailand this week. I was so excited to have a phone without carrier modification!

After setting it up and using it for a day, I just can't get over the damn physical key in the middle of the phone. I feel so weird using the button, and after having the HTC Inspire, then Samsung Infuse, and then SGSII ATT version, I just can't go back to a sloppy physical key, so I eBay'd and sold the new white one and went back to my old ATT Galaxy S II in favor of the four keys. Now I just need to work through the issue of not being able to manually select a carrier's network.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jj1814:
Hello,

I am expecting delivery of my white GSII in an hour or two. I opted for the international version for a few reasons, but I have one question about it. I'm used to OTA updates straight from Google to my AT&T Nexus One.... how will I get my OS updates to this phone (without rooting)?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Misterjunky:
re: updates

You will not be able to get the official OTA updates from AT&T.

However there are a few other ways you can get it.

#1. in these XDA forums you will find download links of all new

updates which usually get posted almost as soon as they are

officially released in Europe.

#2: use google search on computer to find updates to download

i.e. samsung i9100 2.3.5 gingerbread rom download
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
Can you give me a brief rundown of how I could do this? I love the stock rooted rom (have had no issues, and you know my luck with non-stock roms, hehe), so would be super cool to be able to just make a mod to it where I can finally access the manual carrier selection that AT&T felt we're all too dumb to want to be able to access.

Thanks as always!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BarryH_GEG:
And Samsung's already released five updates for the UK version since May, each improving UI performance and battery life. Obviously direct from Google's the best option but getting updates from Samsung direct is far better then depending on AT&T. Of course it won't matter if you're rooting and ROM'ng.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pupochek:
Where did You get that idea?

You can deactivate data on stock AT&T's SGS2... There is a menu for that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bartio1975:
Just because the hardware is there means nothing. The asses at AT&T did the same to Motorola Atrix. The Broadcom chip has the FM Radio but they have disabled it I'm told at the system board level. I hear the exact same thing ATT had Samsung do for the US version. Just so people can pay for their internet and not listen over the air. And I use Fm Radio because my GYM Tv's use various FM Frequencies for Audio!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
I was going to reply with "who actually uses FM radio anymore?" ... but you actually brought up a really good point. My gym does too, but i usually listen to music not the TV, but very good application showing the continued need to have FM tuner built-in. Kudos for the comment.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bartio1975:
You are not the only one. Almost in every forum people comment that FM is so 80's and to use Streaming radios! I use it to listen to Gym TV, Music/news sometimes when I want to conserve my battery or conserve data consumption.. and also in places where I have poor data speeds due to signal strength! I do have TuneInRadio which I use, but would rather use FM to listen to NPR than through TuneIn.

Since they (ATT) disabled the FM on my Atrix (now broken), I had to take a small Sansa Clip with me to the gym so that if I see something interesting on the TV and I want to listen to that..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
Interesting....thanks ;-)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
Does NPR get your heart racing for a workout? Sorry, just had to, hehe.

:p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Misterjunky:
re: fm radio

The reason the fm radio is useless, at least to me is the fact that

to use it you must have some kind of headset plugged in or it will

not work at all.

I think that with all the these internet radio apps we really don't need it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
How often do you listen to music through the phone's (terribly sub-par) speaker? Usually for me I use headphones (antennae), or external speakers (antennae), so the issue is a moot point. :-)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Misterjunky:
re: radio app

You need to download and install the free iHeart Radio app.

Check it out here: http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/music_and_audio/iheartradio_bwkh.html

It has the NPR and clear channel stations in it.

Best radio app I found so far.....

Were you able to get decent 3g speed on dtac? They have some nice plans.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mgd76:
Maybe... They moved the noise-canceling microphone a few mm. I have a gel-type i9100 case, and I was able to enlarge the hole with a razor blade. (near the 3.5mm audio Jack)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mimicthis:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jsolares:
My brother sold me his i777 since he got an i9100 on contract from our local telco, the i777 with ics'd out was faster than the i9100 stock, and comparable with the i9100 on an ICS beta.

I just flashed the ICS beta for the i777, seems as fast as before, hopefully i'll still have good/great battery as with ICS'd out.

Do both the I9100 and i777 use the same kernel and ROMs? Are they interchangeable from a software perspective?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dazedstate:
No they are not the same. Do NOT flash i9100 roms or kernels on your i777. You can try Hellraiser to port over roms if you're feeling adventurous.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] karate104:
Since this thread was resurrected, I read through it, and now I want to confirm: is the FM radio in our I777 able to be used via software hacks, or are the pins not connected to the headphone jack and there's absolutely no way to enable FM radio short of messing with the hardware itself? Or does the chip actually not exist?

I have the i777 unlocked and working on China Unicom. Have also used in on networks in Vietnam and Hong Kong. Sometimes you have to manually enter the APN settings, such as if you want to use AT&T pay-as-you-go since they don't allow 4g phones on non-contract plans, and no it's not in the fine print. But after unlocking, rooting and using CWM to remove the bloatware it works well.
