Yeah what's up w that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] termleech:
Figured I'd weigh in. I was in the local At&t store yesterday and the guy who was helping me said they got a memo to phase out the sg2 for the skyrocket. I am in an LTE area so perhaps they are doing it in LTE areas. I know that when I bought the phone last week at best buy they tried to give me a skyrocket even though I specifically asked for a sg2. They said their stock of sg2 as limited. Have no idea what it means just posting my experience recently.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
It is known that they are AGGRESSIVELY pushing LTE phones in LTE areas - the GS2 was not available in most LTE areas in the first place, and the ****rocket gets a $100 discount in LTE areas to try and push it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dxtra:
I completely understand We love the Exynos chip. But this phone's rocks and I will never downgrade to osgs2. Heres why I traded my osgs2 for the skyrocket. Let start by saying that slightly real tiny stutter you guys call lag and let me make it clear "Only" happens when swiping with lot's of widget and only with TWlauncher and only on that launcher. After that you will never notice any type of stuttering. Here's the improvement I notice on the skyrockets. 4.5 inch screen love it, I could now enjoy a movie. The screen is 100% precise to the touch. For some reason typing on the osgs2 was not accurate, notice the samething when sliding any type of settings sliding bar, also on the browser. Battery life is way better. Hspa+ is way faster on the skyrocket I get between 6-10 mbps on any time of day at night even faster. Also don't forget everything you love about the ogsgs2 software ect, it's on the skyrocket at the end of the day its the same phone. Besides all that is cheaper and comes with headphones. They both great phone. The selling point is LTE and the 4.5 screen. Can We please stop the hating, lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Blind_Guardian:
The ogsgs2 is far from a downgrade. The hardware of the ogsgs2 is better period. You prefer the rocket and thats great, good for you. Though all your reasons are based on personal preference and not technical date ( ie. hardware). The fact is that the screen is the same res and larger, for some people that is not a good thing at all. The screen is not as crisp because the ppi and res are the same. Had they increased the resolution then it would be an upgrade. As it is, it really boils down to personal preference.

The screen on the ogsgs2 is accurate. I don't see a lot of people complaining about it. So you either perceive it to be better because you want your new phone to better or you had a faulty sgs2.

At the end of the day it is not the same phone. The architecture is totally different. The software in most regards is the same. It does have touchwiz just like the ogsgs2. The only real upgrade that the skyrocket has is LTE, and this is only if you are in an LTE area, otherwise its a downgrade.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
No, not even close. We can leverage the improvements made by the I9100 community, you can't.

You're going to be crying when ICS comes out and you're AT&T's ***** when it comes to update availability.

SGSII for only $5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I returned my SGSII to AT&T corporate store and gladly paid the $35 restocking fee...

Why?

Because I walked in the Target and picked up the SGSII for $5 after trading in my iphone 3G... :)

Target mobile (Radio Shack) is offering the phone for $99 and they (radio shack) offers an electronics trade-in program (any phone, PDA, or Video game) and you get cash back... my iphone 3G was worth $95....

For all of you folks who still have doubts, RUN don't walk to Radio shack and/or Target Mobile (in Target store) and you can get the SGSII for $99 or Skyrocket for $149

Good Luck!!! :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BarryH_GEG:
Let's deconstruct your comments, shall we?

- Some people like a larger screen, some don't. I'm in the latter category as I have a fake-4G tablet and like to wear my phone on my belt. Those looking for a larger screen would prefer the Skyrocket. Like someone else said, the sacrifice is the same number of pixels as the OSGS2 stretched over a larger space which does effect what's displayed. It's been talked about in both the SSGS2 and TSGS2 forums. If it doesn't bother you, cool. But it may be bothersome to others and people on this forum that made the switch have commented on it.

- LTE is great, especially in markets where AT&T has congestion problems. In those markets, the increased speed and discreet network band could mean the difference between 1MB on HSPA+ and 15MB on LTE. If I was in NYC I'd get the Skyrocket because of this. But if I was in NYC I wouldn't be on AT&T in the first place. In other HSPA+ markets you're looking at the difference between 6-8MB for HSPA+ and the teens for LTE. For streaming, e-mail, and browsing the experience isn't that different. If you download a lot of files to store locally, then LTE would make a bigger difference. The downsides are both the Skyrocket and Vivid are having connectivity problems in standard HSPA markets and drop to EDGE speeds. It'll probably be fixed but for those that travel it's a big deal. Also, LTE consumes a ton more battery than HSPA+ which means more charging and having to carry spare batteries. Not a deal breaker but a reality.

- The OSGS2 is an all-around better device than the Skyrocket. It's the closest version available on a U.S. carrier to the ISGS2. The ISGS2 gets tons of updates from Samsung and huge dev support because there have been 10MM sold. In order for the devs to do their magic, drivers and aspects of the f/w need to be continually updated by the OEM. Good luck with updates for the Skyrocket and TSGS2 which are bastard derivatives not sold directly by Samsung. If the Skyrocket were an HSPA+ phone nobody would be comparing it to the OSGS2 – the OSGS2 is that much better. It’s LTE that’s got people on the fence.

So, the Skyrocket is certainly not a bad phone and if you want/need LTE and want a bigger screen it's a solid choice. But don't stick your head in the sand about the compromises being made to get those two features and don't mislead others based on your expectations.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dxtra:
The only thing the osgs2 has over the skyrocket is custom roms,development. End of discussion. You don't believe me try them both. And it's been confirm the lags that you all osgs2 owner likes to glorified about, even blaming the processor it is slightly only on the TWlauncher. Everything else is a lot faster. I'm not defending my purchase just pointing out the truth. I'm done peace
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] qwertyaas:
Matter of opinion. To many, a larger screen with the same pixel count is not a pro, but a con.

I'm disappointed in a 4.3inch screen at 800x480. 4.5inch would be that much worse for me. The only reason I was considering the Vivid was the resolution.

And dev support of the phone is a huge pro - atleast for us on XDA. If you came from a Captivate, you would know that it was great to have ROMs ported over from i9000. That got us Froyo and GB months earlier. If you know anything about Samsung, their US market, and AT&T, updates are slow.

LTE is the only plus for me. Sadly, I have a 2GB data plan, I use around 400-500MB a month on mostly mobile websites an no streaming. So LTE isn't such an issue for me at the moment.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
No, there are other things...

Our radio actually works - lots of reports are coming in that the Skyrocket is having tons of connectivity issues.

Our battery life is excellent - A number of ****rocket owners are reporting that battery life on LTE is horrible.

Our phone isn't a gigantic fatty.

Our device is faster - it's not the launcher - the Snapdragon is consistently slower in every workload anyone has tested, whether it is the "feel" of the user interface, or if it's a benchmark. As much as I hate benchmarks, when they are consistent with subjective user interface responsiveness experiences, it does say something.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BarryH_GEG:
Also, Qualcomm is a stop-gap solution for Samsung that they're using on niche phones that need a specialized radio. They don't have their own R&D department and make their own silicon so they can buy (inferior) chips from competitors. I guarantee you that you'll see Exynos or its follow-on supporting LTE and DC HSPA by Q1 or Q2 of next year. They replaced Tegra with Exynos on the just released Tab 7+ because HC wasn't initially compatible with Exynos when the 10.1 launched and they needed the development time. They also just licensed PowerVR's SGX MP for the next evolution of their GPUs.

Everyone's worked up about the Vivid and Skyrocket only because they're AT&T's first LTE phones. There's nothing distinctive or competitively different and better about either of them. With 720p displays, quad-core SoC's, ICS native support, and truly decent cameras right around the corner this whole debate will seem silly in a couple of months. And in six months to a year when the next-gen phones come out AT&T will have enough LTE deployed to make it sensible for HSPA+ users to make the switch.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hrishi2das:
I have to order one or the other today, Can you please confirm the above 2 points?

Any links... ? These would be deal breakers for me, especially the first point. I am in a Non Lte area so my usage is going to be in a HSDPA+ network. Does that change the above 2 points... Non LTE battery is better or on par with the OGS2 ?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BarryH_GEG:
Here's a link to the post on the Vivid forum. There's a couple of comments about the Skyrocket too. A friend with a Skyrocket just got back from a trip and he had problems in 3G cities. It appears to be fine in HSPA+ and LTE markets.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1337062

As for the battery, the radio is seeking out an additional channel when it's searching. I don't know what the impact is but there has to be some. Other than that, I'd imagine it would perform the same as any other phone using straight-up HSPA. LTE itself consuming more battery is pretty much a given.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hrishi2das:
Thanks for the link
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Firepac:
Isn't there an international version of the Skyrocket as well?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] lonewolf69:
There are TWO (2) international versions of the LTE. Standard and HD that sports a HD resolution screen @ 1280 @ 720... Since this newer LTE version was released August/September it doesn't quite have as much saturation as the standard SGII... Which was the point that Barry was making...

Eventually it should, but 10+ million units for the SG2 speaks volumes to the DEVs... :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Prophet16:
i777 all the way

I bought my Galaxy SII a little more than a month ago for $130, it was my first android phone. When i was buying the phone the AT&T guy kept saying how much better the Skyrocket was compared to the i777. Thankfully i did my research before buying the phone and I knew exactly how much better the i777 was. Seriously, this phone has a higher benchmark score at 1.2GHz than the Skyrocket had at 1.5GHz. The Exynos was my buying point when I compared the two phones. The Snapdragon was nothing compared to the Exynos 4210. And I too have had bad experiences with the guys at AT&T with their attitude. They just don't know what their talking about sometimes.

What does it matter? This is what we want people to do; post in related threads and not start new ones. I've noticed a repeating contradiction. When people start new threads that are similar to past ones, the community doesn't like it. However, when they post in an old thread and bring it back to life, they're met with the same hostility. I guess the motto is not to post at all lol.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Honestly, sometimes, it's best just not to post. Sometimes, silence is golden. If there's anything almost as bad as starting a new thread, it's thread necromancy for a "me too" post. Thread necromancy for a question might be OK, but restating things that have been said multiple times in the thread really is not a valid reason for necromancy.

It's basic forum etiquette - don't start new threads unless you REALLY have to, don't commit thread necromancy if you REALLY have to. If you want to post something and those are your only options - Seriously consider whether to post that, or wait until you have something more substantial to contribute.

Hostility to people who clutter the forums increases as the forum traffic goes up. People get away with a lot of **** in the Galaxy Player forums because it's so low-traffic... But as traffic goes up, it's much harder to filter out the signal from the noise.

Has anyone tried the Walmart $30 no contract Unlimited Data T-mobile plan on a SGS4G.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Quinny899:
This is a simple app that gains root access and activates Dolby Mobile using snd3254 (HTC Mini DSP)

It can change between Headset and Speaker modes.

It will work on MOST ROMs.

Tested on:

MIUI

CM7

If it works, post your rom below! If it doesn't, upload a logcat, I can help you!

Also, tell me if the icon works. It should, but it doesn't on my phone :confused:

THIS IS FOR THE HTC DESIRE HD ONLY!

I'm working on an update.zip that will bring Dolby Mobile to other phones as well, but with exams coming up, you'll have to just stay tuned!

Screenshots:

Download

The theme is ICS Black Ice for MIUI by the way

Notice: Due to the large amounts of versions which are not by me, including those spread to pirate websites and those in ROMs on other devices where they will not work, I now require that you ask permission to use this anyway. If you fail to do so, action may be taken
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Andy:
Works great, no problems so far.

2 minor points.

1. It asks for SU/Root for each mode switch e.g. Headset to Speaker & Vice Versa.

2. When you turn it off there is no way to turn it back on, without exiting & opening the app again.

1 Suggestion.

Possibility of adding a 1x1, 2x1 widget? Tap to go Headset/Speaker?

Other than that, if you put this in the Android Market for about £0.99/$0.99 I'd buy it.

Cheers.

EDIT: ROM is MIUI 1.11.4 EN/DE v.1: Freshly Squeezed Edition™ / Icon works fine.

[Desire HD Themes and Apps] mysterysnake:
Is this supposed to change the sound system wide? Both modes work great for me with the stock android music app, but in the YouTube app with the headset speaker mode turned on sound is very loud and distorted for a few seconds then cuts out. Works fine in headset mode though. Running latest CM7 nightly.

You can find all I found here, including the smali off the framework.jar and the Settings.apk, and the objdump off libmedia.so:
