[General Questions and Answers] Big Dawg 23:
In the last 10 days I have had all three.

Speed and GPU goes to I777

Resolution Vivid

HSPA+ data on both Sky Rocket and Vivid far exceed I777.

The Vivid head phone jacket, sluggish response because of sense and battery cover coming is why I went back to Samsung.

As for the two SGS2 feel, the I727 feels much better. Also vibration and sound is much better.

Development, I777 has a lot of Roms including CM.

In the end speed and GPU is not a must for me. Data speed was more important so I727 it is. My area doesn't have LTE but when it does I am ready.
[General Questions and Answers] skrambled:
I'm in the same boat, trying to decide which to get. I only bought my Captivate a year ago but for some reason I'm being offered the discounted rate already. Maybe power users (frequent flashers) get priority with AT&T?

At any rate, thank you to all above for the useful responses. I thanked each of you. I was trying to get info in the SGS2 forum but it seems like too many people there are just annoyed that they're outside their 30-day window and can't exchange it for a Skyrocket. There's a lot of hate going on in that forum!

I still haven't decided, but I plan to go buy one in about 3 hours...
[General Questions and Answers] NIKKG:
I had both, I didn’t like the i777 because my screen had what seemed to have a slight greenish tint, not sure if it was defective or not. I enjoy the bigger screen on the Skyrocket and the screen is actually pretty sharp. Also, I honestly can’t tell the speed difference at all from the Skyrocket or the i777, they seem identical speedwise, on quadrand I’m getting 3200 on my Skyrocket. Whoever is making the speed a big issue is a troll looking to make an issue when their really isn’t one. Lastly, it makes more sense to go with LTE since that’s where all phones in 2012 are headed and you will have higher resale value than being stuck with an old non-LTE i777.
[General Questions and Answers] Big Dawg 23:
Very true, never thought of the resale aspect. I am luck because of the issues I had with a crappy iPhone 4, that I sold, my eligibility comes up again March 2012.

I think you can't go wrong either way.
[General Questions and Answers] NIKKG:
I had the iPhone 4s last week and returned it. I had the iPhone 4 for 1.5 years previously and got pissed off that the 4s had the same exact screen and look, if they made the screen bigger, I would've got it, but I can't go back to a 3.5" screen anymore. Apple is starting to screw up, they got too cocky and think their $hit don't stink. So far, I'm really loving my Skyrocket, just make sure you get the case-mate popcap case, its a good combination.
[General Questions and Answers] CraigP17:
Nobody can tell you what you will like. In each of the 2 respective forums you will not get a impartial answer to your question. I loved my sg2. Had it for over 30 days.

I don't really do too much rom flashing. I like bigger screens. I have noticed zero difference in real world use of the phone. No lag etc. That's the only real benchmark that matters, real world use. LTE is coming soon in my area.

I exchanged for skyrocket and I don't regret it.
[General Questions and Answers] Simba501:
Thank you. It's funny when people talk about low benchmarks and I ask them how the device actually feels; they almost always say, well it feels fine; quite snappy actually.

I have the original GS2 and part of me wished I got the skyrocket. The larger screen was significantly more appealing. Initially, I decided to keep the original. Ironically, after my 30 days passed, I had wished I got Skyrocket. I like the form factor and backing better on the i777, but the larger screen is nice enough to make me overlook it. I may end up buying the Skyrocket out of pocket, even though I do love my original GS2.

In a sentence; start with the Skyrocket. Keep your mind open to exchanging for something else if you want to do so later.
[General Questions and Answers] Aqua1ung:
Gosh, I just read that the Vivid (which, thanks to your comments, I was just beginning to consider) only has 256K colors! Is that true?
[General Questions and Answers] orb3000:
.

Moved to proper section, please read the rules before posting.
[General Questions and Answers] Aqua1ung:
What rule would that be please? Care to post a link? I couldn't find anything relevant here. Are there any other rules besides these?
[General Questions and Answers] jpitch2415:
Just get all three....
[General Questions and Answers] Simba501:
Lol :D, my man. In all likelihood, I probably will actually.
[General Questions and Answers] ozone777:
Don't put too much stock in benchmarks.

As was stated earlier, real world feel is what matters.

Go to an ATT store, pick up each one, open some apps, surf the internet a bit, and then decide which one "feels" better to YOU.

For what it's worth, I had the SGSII for almost 30 days and thought it was a terrific phone. But I ended up with the Skyrocket and have absolutely no regrets.

I really can't notice a difference in the speed between the two but I am enjoying the larger screen and can't wait for LTE to come to my town.

Also, GPS is definitely better/faster/stronger, for me, on the Skyrocket than the SGSII.

Assuming you're upgrading from an inferior/older phone, any of these new models will be a huge step ahead.
[General Questions and Answers] ElCamino:
Exchanged my SGII for the Skyrocket today and really liking the Skyrocket. Very smooth no lag as I can see.

For those that wonder how the SGII stacked up to the Skyrocket I ran the Quadrant app on both and scored good.
[General Questions and Answers] chompx2:
I could not resist the 1 cent sale @Amazon. I love my Infuse and the BIG screen. The Skyrocket seems to be my choice but after reading and searching for answers, I still cannot confirm that the Skyrocket could be SIM unlocked. I travel overseas and having an unlocked phone is a must.

So it looks like SGII will be my choice unless someone would be kind enough to confirm that the Skyrocket could be SIM unlocked.
[General Questions and Answers] ElCamino:
So far only way to SIM unlock SR is, you have to pay for unlocking. The SGII is easily unlocked through an App from market.
[General Questions and Answers] chompx2:
I do not mind paying but the threads I have read said even paying services do not work.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Dark lord me:
Neither Tegra 2 or OMAP processors can support LTE (Non verizon for the OMAP) so it makes sense they are using a snapdragon but i read it and was like "Whaaa =/"
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
I had a Jetstream for a short time and the UI and transitions were fast and smooth - even with Sense. However, as is typical, HTC hosed the video and audio codecs and implementation. It should be really quick with Samsung's better tuned s/w.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Donk100:
anyone know if it's possible to make phone calls with this tablet ?

i read in gsm arena that the LTE model has support for GSM voice and SMS.

does it really works ? is there a dialer ?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
I would highly doubt that the AT&T branded Galaxy Tab would support regular GSM phone calls. I have explained this before in different threads, but long story short, allowing a device that "does it all" on their network would be bad for business, and as such, they would never support that. They would rather you buy a tablet -AND- a smartphone, and pay data for both. Two devices, two line subscriptions, and the evil corporation laughing maniacally as they run to the bank with the extra money they gouged from you.

That's why the GSM calling abilities of the original Tab were locked down and disabled.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] sportedwood:
Just picked one up... this snapdragon @ 1.5 feels much faster than my 10 @ 1.4... now to figure out root...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] RipplingHurst:
^^^ tks! keep us posted re: root
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Entropy512:
Crapdragon is a disappointment compared to Exynos, but it might be an improvement from the Tegra 2. I didn't realize how crappy the T2 was until I used an Exynos device.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] sportedwood:
My feelings exactly. The snapdragon feels faster day to day than my tegra10 does. The lack of root is a bummer however.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] pepebiondi:
I know Cm7. I do not understand why there is so much fuss. We got Gingerbread with no bugs, and aesthetically beautiful.

Enviado desde mi GT-I9003 usando Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] manrock111:
Search on net you will find goods reviews or videos regarding feature but for best possibility install and use it for yourself.

I enjoy the all builds cm7, miui n custom and normal roms.

I think cm7 n miui are just great specially miui(large modifications) but any way in the end of day as a techie OR as human nature-more is less.

I personally think best rom is which you make personally with many small mods but its good to have some stuff to test and waste of your time.

In the end of day its just your phone not life. You know what is reason why I active to this community is --- its members not roms, its funny imho.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sicmofo:
I'm no expert but from what I've surmised from these forums is that attaining a fully functional CM7 will pave the way for ported firmwares to come (ICS).

Not to mention all those features mentioned.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] monsieurtalbot:
Yup, as the title states... I'm having trouble getting Latitude to update location automatically on my device after moving over to CM7... I looked around, and see this isn't a new issue, and it's not the first device there's problems with either...

Has anyone got a solution or ideas? My family/friends and I use Latitude constantly, and I just updated the whole house to CM7 so we're all out of commission...

I imagine they removed a framework, or service... (Maybe for battery life?)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] monsieurtalbot:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bogdanbratu:
The att s2 just got it's port of ICS with a Miui rom.

I know there are hardware differences between our phone and the att one but is it possible?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knightnz:
Of course it's possible, just depends if/when they get around to it.

It's only a half-assed "port" anyway as the full ICS AOSP source tree still hasn't been released and there's certainly no updated-for-ICS hardware drivers yet for pretty much anything other than the new Nexus.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bogdanbratu:
but if they got it to work on thr att model what do we need to make it work on our phones?

or what is the hardware difference that makes that rom unusable on our phones?

Anyone? :confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mrush:
Don't buy from Bestbuy thats all I can tell you. Your best bet is to search on amazon and get it. That way.

Samsung Epic 4g Touch - Calkulin's v1.1
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
So a 32 gig card is compatible with this device? Class 6 or class 10 is what I should stick with? I don't go to Best Buy, so I'd buy online, like from NewEgg.

[HTC Sensation] n11ko:
is it possible to install beats by dre on cm7, and isnt it using adw launcher and not sense?
[HTC Sensation] geoffcorey:
You can't do the beats mod since it relies on sense. And yes, CM7 comes with adw standard, and the sense launcher will not work on CM based roms.
[HTC Sensation] n11ko:
are there any threads about tweaking/mods for cm7?
[HTC Sensation] ajonesma:
only works on sense-based roms! I recommend SENSEay, its smooth and fast!
[HTC Sensation] n11ko:
also, do you know if its possible to get the stock keyboard to cm7, because i personally think thats the only good one..
[HTC Sensation] hev88:
Not possible. Use Dsp manager or poweramp way better then the beats enhancement

What is the largest, fastest and most budget-minded SD card I can get for this device, preferably off of NewEgg...
[Acer Iconia A500] fermunky:
I can't remember if the largest "recommended" size is 16gig or 32, but get a class 10. Also, don't go to New Egg, go to Meritline.com, much cheaper on the micro SD cards, and problably even cheaper elsewhere.
[Acer Iconia A500] agentfazexx:
So always get class 10 for mobile devices? I'm not looking for a recommended size, I want the maximum size.
[Acer Iconia A500] agentfazexx:
Also, NewEgg has class 10's for way cheaper than the site you mentioned.
[Acer Iconia A500] fermunky:
I could be wrong, but I just thought the class indicated the speed of data transfer, so I've always gone for class 10. And yeah, I never noticed the price gap being so marginal on class 10 cards between New Egg and Merit Line. I've always used Merit Line for any media related purchases. Monoprice for anything cable related (I will slap anyone in the throat I meet face to face who spends $60 on a 6 foot "Monster" HDMI cable at Best Buy), and then NewEgg for everything else.
[Acer Iconia A500] agentfazexx:
Gotcha. What brands should I stay away from? What ones should I strongly consider?

Will a 32GB card work on this device?
[Acer Iconia A500] fermunky:
I used a 16gb, but I cannot remember what the manual said would be supported. However, I thin microSD only goes to 32, I'd wait for someone else to chime in to see if they use a 32gb without issue. I've never paid attention to brand, and it's worked out for me.
[Acer Iconia A500] agentfazexx:
Is PNY any good? Kingston and SanDisk are great in my experience.
[Acer Iconia A500] fermunky:
I know PNY makes good RAM, but have never used their sd cards.
[Acer Iconia A500] Peter Baher:
The maximum size supported by the Iconia is 32 GB. Enjoy :D

Kingston is great in my opinion.

Press Thanks if i hepled u :)
[Acer Iconia A500] jlary:
I use the "ADATA 32GB Micro SDHC Flash Card, with Adapter Model AUSDH32GCL10-RA1". It's a Class 10 device and I've had no problems with it and the A500. It currently is $63.99 at Newegg and $72.95 at Meritline (sorry fermunkey!).

Jeff
[Acer Iconia A500] agentfazexx:
How long have you used this card?
[Acer Iconia A500] Bloodflame:
I'm using a Duracell 16GB Class 6 and it works wonders. Only cost me $25 from a brick and mortar store too, which isn't too bad. You won't notice a significant difference between class 6 and class 10 on any Android device, so personally I wouldn't bother with the added cost of a class 10 card.
[Acer Iconia A500] jlary:
I've been using it since the end of July. I've got multiple backups on it as well as movies, music, etc.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] qipengart:
Any chance that HC or ICS will be able to be ported to the Kindle Fire? It seems rather capable and rather nice outfit.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] scratchfury:
There is a chance that ICS will be ported. HC is no longer relevant at this point.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] LeetCompWiz:
I can wait for ICS to become available in lou of having a quick HC rom.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smtom:
Funny, HC was released (finally) in late October 2011 for my other device; I have it on my Google TV.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] a2ha:
i hope someone will make an ICS rom for it, basically for the GPU accelerated menu's :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jutley:
I think amazon will upgrade it to icecream anyway with a future software update.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Atomicman:
Why should Amazon update to ICS? Won't make sense with their customisation. Now you can't even see something from Gingerbread?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jm9843:
Do you mean besides being able to hardware accelerate the 2-d graphics rendering thus eliminating stutter? How about being up to date with the current API level?

There's plenty of reason for Amazon to update to ICS now that it's open-sourced - and they will.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] samitro:
What about RAM? Is 512 enough? The only reason letting me think of nook tablet.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] skeeterpro:
With all due respect I kind of doubt they will. Think about it. What benefit would Amazon derive from it? Would it sell more books? Otherwise move more revenue generating content? Most of the people who bought the AF (XDA people excluded mind you) have little or no interest in ICS, HC, or what have you. They just want it to work. And it will. As good as it could? Perhaps, perhaps not. I suspect the only users jonesing for HC or ICS will be power users and really, I suspect that's a very very small portion of the AF user base. Devs are the best (if not only) hope for a port in my opinion. And that presumes enough Devs find the AF worthy of their time. There are a heckuva lot of devices out there to choose from!

Just random thoughts....

I'm holding out on this tablet till all the amazon crap os stuff is removed

[Kindle Fire Android Development] hitsndc:
LOL, Miui really? That would defeat the whole purpose for me. Miui is a great phone ROM but for tablets, its completely trash. ICS should be awesome. Not to bash u, im just sayin.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] matt314159:
Any idea if, or which, devs are starting to look at doing ICS? We've got everything needed, right? Kindle source, ICS source, fires in our hands....I think this could take off because it's at such a sweet price point, and, I know this is vain, but I hate that little loop at the bottom left of the nook color...this feels like a real tablet..solid, sleek, minimalistic...the amazon launcher sucks, but I can see this being a dream on ICS.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] hitsndc:
Chances are we are gonna wait till a Clockwork mod recovery to surface or some kind of rom loader. So we can backup our .img for safe keeping and then flash the roms! :)

I'm really thinking about returning my Kindle Fire and picking up HTC Flyer for $100 more
[Kindle Fire Android Development] FinalJenemba:
Idk I think im gonna stick with the Fire. I bet devs end up piling on this thing. The nexus s only has 512mb of Ram and a single core and it runs ICS fine doesn't it?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Award Tour:
At a lower resolution, the NS4G ICS SDK port tends to hang a bit because of the lower RAM. My expectations of a tablet is being able to have a ton of tabs and apps open without having to relaunch/reload things. The Fire is damn fine tablet at $200 but the 512 MB is a huge deal breaker when all of my recent smartphones have had that much or more. Current GPU's just practically eat half of the RAM by itself too.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DssTrainer:
You can run the ICS Launcher by the ACS Syndicate team here:

Works fine on the kindle fire.. but the amazon bar still shows on the bottom.
