Would it be worth switching to the htc evo 3d is hdmi & hid better on this device than on the opti 3d? I've tried to find out but can't clarify if the Htc definitely support hid I have heard it will connect to some keyboards but im not sure its just on custom roms.

I have bought another hdmi cable encase its this that is making trout so ropey, at least my atria although having many faults could do that well.

Isn't ics at least 6 months away?

Thanks.
[LG Optimus 3D] abo_mara7:
For Hid, they may add it in GB, or for sure in ICS. About the HDMI, I have it working 100%, I've bought the original HDMI cable for motorola from handtech, some reported that some of the HDMI cables posted in ebay doesn't work properly.

For evo, I've read that HTC's phones are the same, does not support HID.
[LG Optimus 3D] pgunning1:
Yes I have order a moto hdmi cable in the hope it fixes the issue but I somehow doubt it, the as the cable supplied works intermitently mainly on reboot of the system.

Its not an app blocking it but may be a power supply issue as its as if the signal is just not strong enough to register on the phone.

Must be some genious on here that knows better.

[LG Optimus 3D] pgunning1:
Result with the hdmi at least, its a software bug of course! it is very intermittent just plugging in the cable, but if you put the lg to sleep (no dont shoot it) with the hdmi cable in, and just press the power key to wake it automatically outputs the hdmi !

Must be a fix for that software wise surely. Keyboard still an issue, just gonna have to wait for gb or ics more likely ics as no one yet has confirmed to me that gb supports hid even in the deveopers leaked version.Ohh well.

Why hello there, gorgeous!

Just thought I'd let everyone know that yes, these cards do work in our phones (as proved here: http://androidforums.com/samsung-ga...micro-sdxc-cards-confirmed-working-sgsii.html).

So, enough with the "32GB cards work?" threads, just insert the 64GB micro SDXC card into your phone, and format it to FAT32, and voila! You have loads more storage.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] lonewolf69:
:eek:

Spoke with *UPPITY* sales clerk behind the AT&T corporate store in the Suburbs of NYC (Long Island, Hicksville) and was told the following:

"What happened to the Galaxy S II, I don't see it on the sales floor anymore?"

"Sorry it's been replaced by the newer, Skyrocket..."

"Didn't the Galaxy S II just get released a few weeks back @ $199 on October 2nd...?"

"Yes, it's obsolete now because the Skyrocket replaces it @ $149 so it's discontinued..."

I couldn't talk, I couldn't stand the way she just stared at me w/ a cavalier, uncaring look on her face when I exclaimed my displeasure that my brand new Galaxy S II was *DISCONTINUED*...

"Blah blah blah ... I'll be happy to refund the phone for you minus the $35 restocking fee...blah blah blah"

I'm upset at her ATTITUDE she showed, not at the Samsung Galaxy SII.. The Skyrocket is BIGGER, LAGGY and slightly FUZZIER display when compared to my S II SGH-I777 due to the 4.5 SUPERAMOLED screen. No FM radio BUT it does have Visual Voicemail as a built in app...

I ***GLAD*** I picked up my SHG-I777 when I did otherwise, it would be too late. Hopefully this salesclerk is off her rocker when she suggests that the SGH-I777 has been discontinued for any FENCE SITTERS out there... ??!??? :(

My personal TAKE on WHY AT&T dropped the SGH-I777 are two:

1. it's because they don't want to take heat for the HPSA+ vs. 4G (LTE) radio that wasn't on the SGH-I777. Also :D I played with it on display and I *LOVE* my SLIM S II vs. the Skyrocket

2. Confusion on Joe and Jane public walking into the store, "Look honey, there's the new galaxy Sii for $199 no it's over here called the Skyrocket and it's $50 CHEAPER at $149..." (No TYPO, that's $149.00...)

BTW - I also saw the OTHER LTE phone the HTC (Sorry don't remember the Model # exactly) BUT it does have an ON BOARD FM tuner and HD screen very VERY sharp gives the iphone a better run for the money and I *think* it might be a slightly better display than the SGH-I777

Whew what a mouthful! At any rate, still LOVING and ROCKIN' my SGH-I777 don't have any regrets or buyer's remorse... Hopefully this will be a helpful read for one or two people out there...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 5150Joker:
I think the clerk was b.s.'ing you because the corporate store here still had S2 for sale and they claimed they will continue to sell it for some time to come. I agree about the HTC Vivid screen, it was quite nice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mbze430:
I was told by Best Buy manager today that they pulled the OGSGS2 from the stores

I originally wanted to test out the Skyrocket till my 30days is up and then choose to go back to the OGSGS2, so I had to ask them if they are available...but he said they are being pulled

This might not be the case with AT&T Stores
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shanxybeast:
Their removing it in select lte markets so they can sell more of the skyrocket, don't get the skyrocket horrible battery life and horrible processor
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] amtrakcn:
:( Actually sad about this.

If not many original ASGS2 are sold and no talented developer works on "reoriented" kernels like for Captivate, our ROM choice would be very limited.

It's actually ridiculous to officially discontinue a 1 month old phone, even quicker than HP Touchpad...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cmjester6421:
its even on the site they may just take it out the store but we will have to see over the next week i really don't see it going anywhere anytime soon
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Both phones are showing up on the site, and the Skyrocket is $50 more.

However, a number of leaked documents indicate that to try and push the ****rocket despite it being an inferior expensive device, they are discounting it by $100 and eliminating the I777 in LTE markets.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
It may depend on the market it's being sold.

Where are you guys located?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pguillory08:
yeah, i posted a thread on this about the phone being removed from LTE market AT&T corporate stores, but instead of opinions, everyone gave me heat about it.

but i guess it's bc i'm new and have no credit on anything i say yet, idk. lol

sucks though, but i still have my OGSGS2. i love it. you're right about the skyrocket, bit laggy.

but i do have a vivid, and i personally think its a good device, but i still find myself with my OGSGS2 alot more :)

Well if the minimium wage associate with three hours of product training said it's discontinued than it must be. :rolleyes:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yoneilio:
I am a store manager for at&t in Jax FL, and I can assure you that it has not been discontinued. As a matter of fact, one of the memos that we got state that the skyrocket should be able to compliment the galaxy s 2 sales. The sgs2 is one of at&ts best sellers, and there is nothing slated for discontinuation. Any info anyone receives of the contrary, is b/s. Can we please put this rumor to bed now! Mid October, a report came out that Samsung sold 30mil gs2s in 15 days.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] giantenemybird:
I work for a corporate AT&T in South Florida and we actually just received another shipment of the OGSII. We're not an LTE market yet, but for what it's worth we haven't received any notification that they're discontinuing the SGII. She probably just made that up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BarryH_GEG:
At last, voices of reason. Thanks guys for speaking up. Hopefully the Skyrocket will get its own forum soon so these endless threads with nothing but hearsay will have a home to call their own.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pguillory08:
he's not in a LTE market. i'm specifically speaking of that, not everywhere.

the stores vary.

here in the LTE market, we didn't even have the OGSGS2 in store, everyone who wanted it had to order it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] qwertyaas:
I think it was said that it's temporarily discontinued in LTE markets to boost Skyrocket sales. Odd but that's what I was told in the couple stores by me.

Oh well, I got my OSGSII from Best Buy for $99. And I hopefully will get a $100 BB gift card for reward points :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] lonewolf69:
Hi Barry,

Voice of reason, *finally*?!?? Really, did I sound hysterical, was I not reasonable when I created my OP...? I paraphrased my ENTIRE conversation that took place when I walked into my LOCAL corporate AT&T store in Hicksville, NY (516) 935-7770. I was only asking about my current unlimited data plan and also wanted to see the new Skyrocket...

Would you like to know the reason why I bothered to asked the clerk about the SGH-I777this in the first place..., it's because I couldn't find it!!!!

I found the Android section with only 4 Android phones (Skyrocket, HTC, and two others but NO Samsung SGH-I777, so I had to ask...

Yoneilio - As an AT&T store manager, please contact Rob at the corporate AT&T store here in Hicksville, NY because he'll tell you just like I was told by the young sales girl that the SGH-I777 has been pulled...

*MAYBE* it's just this store policy if I had *KNOWN* in advance the reaction I was going to get, I wiould have asked for more specific details:

Is it pulled from this store only?

Long Island

or NYC metro area?

Believe me I will find out now, you guys just made it my *** Voice of Reason***... :D

For the record, I only posted this up here to find out the reaction and to see if this was local or not, I'm glad that Yoneilio spoke up at an AT&T rep and states that this isn't the case! Yoneilio when you call Rob, speak some sense into him and ask him WHY this is being pulled and how IRRATE the folks here are on the forum!!!

@ Giantenemybird - This goes for you too, since you're also an AT&T employee, see if you can get the skinny from Rob, too *IF* you can call long distance from FL to NY...

MANY MANY thanks to both of you both for your help in ADVANCE!!!!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] lonewolf69:
Thanks Firepac! If you head out EAST *EVER* The AT&T store is in Hicksville, same exit as IKEA, it's in the Walbaum's shopping center next to Liberty Travel agency... it a *NICE* store but NOTHING in comparison to the one in Downtown FLUSHING, NY... :)

Glad to know that so far, it seems to be isolated to only Hicksville... :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dxtra:
None of the store I when to have them in stock here in the NYC. Ones the shipment runs out they wont be selling them here at least. At the end of the day they are the same phone if you think about it. Not everyone knows about processor and stuff like us. It makes sense. Why sell both on LTE market?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] qwertyaas:
I went to the ATT store on Continental Ave. The rep was trying to tell me how much better and faster the Skyrocket is due to the faster processor and bigger screen.

Then he told me the SGSII is discontinued but they have it for $199.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yoneilio:
Your OP said it was discontinued, and I am telling you it is not. Period. I do not have to call anyone nor do I care what that store is doing to push sales. I am telling you and confirming that is is not discontinued, LTE market or not. They might lie and say it is, so you will only have the option to purchase the skyrocket, but welcome to sales. I am not saying what they are doing is right, or even ethical, but it sounds par for the course. If a store pulls a phone, it does not mean it was discontinued. That store just decided to pull it, that is all. It does not sound like a corporate store though, as they have to offer in store, the models that they offer online, besides refurbs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dxtra:
All the store I when to are corporate att store fyi. An I'm guessing here it is only discontinue on LTE heavily promoted market for now. None had the in stock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jgrimberg1979:
Very Well Put
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] lonewolf69:
Yonelio - And I agree with you *EXCEPT* the young lady in question that was helping me out said it to me TWICE in ENGLISH that it was discontinued... YES, my title was a bit controvesial, but the body of text was extremely detailed.

Look if the AT&T rep didn't mention the word "DISCONTINUED" to me twice, I wouldn't have bothered with this post. I wasn't speculating, I was just repeat what an official rep told me first hand.

I'm so glad that as an AT&T representative you have the INSIDE knowledge from your memos & bulletins that this is not discontinued, but AT&T is doing a great diservice to the community (at least in Long Island, NY) if at least ONE employee is giving wrong answers. So I get *BURNED* by you for my OP, but OTOH, *THINK* how much worse it is for all of the people walking into the store and getting fed the same DISCONTINUED line?!???

Ultimately, thank you for clarifying that AT&T will NOT be discontinuing the phone... Now if someone with clout, say an AT&T store manager would only call up the store and yell at the employee I would feel much better... :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BarryH_GEG:
Wow. A little tightly wound are we? You start a thread that contains ***DISCOUNTINUED*** in the title based on info received from what amounts to a clerk. There are screen caps and discussions of the OSGS2 not being sold in certain markets of which yours is one. There's six markets effected nationally that the phone's not being sold in; hardly discontinued. Maybe if you're post contained "is it?" before discontinued you'd have gotten a lesser reaction from people.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] lonewolf69:

Best Buy Mobile here. Non lte market. Selling both models. Gs2 is now $149.99 and skyrocket is $249.99. No mention of discontinued model on our end.

And I'm loving my skyrocket after swapping my gs2 for it. Hasn't lagged yet. The size is great. No complaints on the screen. I think we all read specs and convince ourselves that something won't be good or can't be good. I'm guilty of it too.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] csreborn:
I checked it out today today in the AT&T store and they also still had one of the OG GS2 out, but were obviously pushing the new one. It seemed like a nice phone, and just as responsive as the other. Screen seemed fine, but I don't care for the resolution on any of the GS2.

The normal user will see the higher price, larger screen and higher clocked CPU and assume it is a better version and be happy with it. I personally think AT&T should have gone with the Galaxy S HD LTE.

It deeply amuses me that when ATT FINALLY did NOT f$%& a phone up, they go ahead and correct themselves by releasing a butchered f@#$ed up version. Wooo, go ATT.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Blind_Guardian:
For one, you never take anything that comes out of the mouth of a sales person as truth. These people are undertrained, sometimes idiots, and are paid based on what they sell. They will say and do anything to sell you a product, and will steer you away from a product that pays less commission. The new LTE phones probably pay more commission since ATT is really trying to push LTE. You can still order the SGS2 online through ATT, when it vanishes it from their site then it is gone.

Why does anyone have to call the store and yell at an employee? What would that solve except make them seem like an idiot and probably cost them their job if they work for ATT? All that does is show a lack of professionalism and intelligence. If you are so upset about the misinformation then you can go in and yell at her yourself or better yet, stand in front of the store entrance and hand out proof that the SGS2 is not discontinued.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rshak2:
OGSGS2 still available in non-LTE market

I visited the corporate at&t store and both OGSGS2 and Skyrocket were available. Store employee said that they will continue to offer both until LTE is launched in the area.

That being said, I downloaded Quadrant on Skyrocket and ran some benchmark. The maximum Quadrant score on Skyrocket was 2985 and the average of 5 benchmarks was 2739. OGSGS2's maximum Quadrant score was 3872 with an average of 3537.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TXFLGO05:
Newbie here.

Just thought I would throw in my two cents on this. I decided to get the s2 after having the slowphone 3gs and not wanting a silly gimmick for voice searching on my next phone. Anyways after some research I knew I wanted an Android based phone. Anyways did some more research and decided on the S2.

Then came the challange, here in San Antonio we have LTE from at&t but until Sunday no phones that supported it. Went to a corporate at&t store to get my s2 and found out they had nothing in stock but they could order it. I declined and then went to bestbuy across town to wait 3 hours to get the s2 (same night as the 4s launch). Got it and it's been smooth sailing ever since.

Point being my at&t store has never had it in stock to begin with being in an existing LTE market and bestbuy continues to stock it and in my case not the Skyrocket.

So I doubt it will be discontinued entirely but it's days are numbered in non LTE markets, which makes total sense, why have a flagship phone that can't access the latest and greatest technology.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rav4kar:
So sorry to have missed the ASGS2 from at&t floor! I too stopped by a store in NJ and saw they were selling ASGS2 Skyrocket for $149.99 and HTC vivid (Black/White) for $99.99 for 2 year contract/upgrade! But I missed my chance to replace with any phone by 1 day as it was my 31st day yesterday since I bought my lovely ASGS2!

But it spreads the doubt there won't be any official ICS update from at&t/samsung for ASGS2! That might be a sad end! they really ruined us if so!:(

But one thing I wanted to mention, HTC vivid was really crisp when compared to ASGS2 Skyrocket's display, and snappy too when I played with both for a while, but HTC vivid was bulky and heavy, but sat fit on the hands!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mickey4mice:
Just spoke with an ATT corp store CSR and an authorized dealer on the phone in NYC.

Corp store - no more OGS2 in stock (no display model either), most likely will not be getting any more shipments. Really pushing hard for the Skyrocket, currently priced at $149.

Authorized Dealer - Selling both and will continue to sell BOTH models, S2 @ $200 and Skyrocket @ $249 with 2yr contract.

NYC currently does not have LTE, but the rollout target is early 2012. Personally, I'm not excited about the LTE rollout at all, NYC for whatever reason, has terrible mobile infrastructure. When ATT rolled out 3G here, the speed was more in the Edge range, now with HSPA+, its's pretty much low-end 3G, my guess is with LTE, we will see marginal improvement, probably getting a bump to real 3G speed? Anyway, I'm keeping my S2, not fond of 4.5 screen at 220 dpi and by the time NYC gets real LTE speed, there will be better and newer phone out than Skyrocket, S2 is good enough hold me over for the next 10 months.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BarryH_GEG:
The problem behind all the issues in NYC is too many people using too little bandwidth. LTE in NYC is great news for everyone because it's the equivalent of adding a second network. LTE should perform fantastically until large numbers of people migrate and the more people that start using LTE, the more HSPA+ available for everyone else. So, everyone in NYC go out and get a Skyrocket, Vivid, or Jetstream as soon as possible so I can have more HSPA+ bandwidth when I travel there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wastingaeons:
This is pretty ridiculous ..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mickey4mice:
Aside from too many people hogging limited bandwidth, we've never had decent speeds to start out with before mass adoption of 3G/HSPA+. NYC is forever several tiers behind real world speed even with rollout of each generation of the "latest" technology.
