[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jthornton71707:
I used my upgrade almost a month ago (coming from an infuse 4g) and initally i was wondering if i did the right thing. The SR is faster, has LTE (i dont live in an LTE area) however adding on another 2 years to my contract seemed questionable for such a small upgrade (at least from the Infuse). Ive been here for 3 weeks now and was thinking (just like some of you are) of switching to the SGS II simply because of the lack of dev support the SR seemes to have. Well 3 days ago i got an SGS II. I used it for about a day,did some tests, and i can now say with confidence that compared the the Skyrocket the SGS II doesnt even feel like it should be a part of the Galaxy family. The problems i had with it.

1. Build quality - The build quality was terrible! the back cover felt like a thin piece of cardboard, the speaker was horrible and it had that same ugly bump at the bottom of the phone my infuse and most other samsung phones have. It felt like if i dropped it that would be it. Not to mention the terrible backlighting of the capcative buttons on the front. The Skyrocket has the LED backlit... SGS II looks yellowish and just plain ugly

2. Network speed - I live in a crappy area. An hour north of fresno CA. With the Skyrocket i get about 3-7MBPS on "4g non LTE". With the SGS II in the same area same bars same everything i only could pull at the most 1-2.5mbps... Terrible!

3. Last years technology! - I purchased my Infuse 4g on launch day. I can honestaly say without a shadow of a doubt the SGS II feels and looks JUST LIKE the Infuse 4g. The only real difference is the Infuse 4g has a single core processor and a slightly larger screen. If im going to be under contract for another two years why would i want the same technology i could have gotten almost a year ago?

All in all NOW i can say im happy with my SR. It may not be a huge upgrade but its a hell of a lot better than the Infuse 4g/SGS II. The SGS II feels like something is missing, as if it were rushed to the market and compared to the Skyrocket is just feels plain slow in every aspect (browsing, gaming, daily tasks,) It felt just like the Infuse 4g!!! I dont look at it as the Galaxy S II. I look at it as a smaller Infuse 4g or a slightly upgraded Infuse. Please if your considering jumping ship make sure your thuroughly spend your time with that phone first. Glad I did.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mentalcase:
I beg to differ. There are a few things i dislike about the skyrocket, but they are not enough to send me back the SGS2.

1. The screen is crap. The extra .2" is nice, but the color calibration and the line/blob issue makes everything look terrible. Compare the skyrocket to an SGS2 or an Infuse and you will see exactly what i'm talking about.

2. I'm not a big fan of the rounded corners on the Skyrocket. I wish samsung would had made the phone similar to the infuse with different internals. Also, I wish the battery cover was a textured finish. The smooth finish IMHO feels cheap.

3. Developer support. The sgs2 is virtually the same exact phone as the european version and that means it gets the latest roms quicker. It is something i definitely miss after moving to the skyrocket.

The reason I won't go back to the SGS2 is I want LTE. But I do agree on the buttons on the SGS2. They are yellow and ugly.

Hopefully samsung will fix the skyrocket's screen defects and then I have no reservations in keeping it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Dxtra:
The lines/ blob are only visible on low brightness and on dark grey background. Manually set the brightness and you'll forget is there. There's nothing wrong with the screen is beautiful.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bsilvino:
Nice comments... I was wondering if there was support and development of rom, manly to ICS dev to this sgs II lte, because I have the sgs I9000 and there is a lot of support, for example, I am running ICS already.

In resume, SGS II LTE there's a great hardware but poor support, am I correct?

How are your thoughts right now?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mentalcase:
This is far from the truth. I was using the same wallpaper on the gs2 as I was on the skyrocket, the chroma ICS wallpaper, and the first thing I noticed when I booted up the skyrocket is how horrible the wallpaper looked. Colors were not blended well and the black parts looked blotchy.

And who wants to keep their brightness up all the time. I like having a battery that lasts all day and to do that I need to keep the brightness down. Regardless the screen quality on the skyrocket is not even close to the skyrocket.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] swedishcancerboi:
Glad to see I'm not the only one having trouble deciding between these phones. I actually have both, and find myself swapping between the two.

1. I think the GSII is probably the best feeling phone in my hand. love the textured back, perfectly thin. I agree that the rounded corners on the SR piss me off. I've dropped this phone 3 times because it slid out of my carpenter pocket. I have never dropped the GSII in this manner and I attribute it to this design. I also prefer the power button on the GSII (location, click-feel). Petty, I know, but when you can hold and play with both for weeks at a time, you notice these things.

2. Apps. I'm actually liking the stock feel (for now) and noticed that the GSII has better apps. I get a kick out of the Voice Command/Talk App on the GSII (I want to port it over), the movie edit app, little things, ya know?

3. I do love the screen, the extra .2" makes a difference. Colors seems a bit on the washy side, but side to side I believe it is because the SR tends to be brighter than the SGII. i'm sure I could manually adjust it, but then I lose the AutoBrightness, but it still looks gorgeous. I'd give the SGII a 10, and the SR a 9.5, very negligible.

4. LTE, that's it. This is probably the only reason I bought the SR. It was faster, cheaper, and LTE is so close to my market I can smell it.

I don't think I'll ever settle until either LTE is in my market, or the wife steals the GSII from me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mentalcase:
That's what she said. Sorry I just had to.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] MakAttak:
OMG...

Screen/color calibration has been beaten to death, give it a rest. If you got blobs, take it back and get it replaced. My SGSII had the lines issue, but AT&T was totally understanding when I was able to reproduce the problem. Then I took the leap because most of North Texas AT&T is LTE and went for the Skyrocket. I will NOT go back. The potential of a blisteringly fast phone is much more realistic with this phone, and I can wait for CM9 or MIUI or one of the others to show up to play with. And face it, that is what we are talking about.. PLAYING with the phone.This is my daily phone and I travel all over a four county region repairing computer hardware, and, the GPS in this under 2.3.6 syncs sooo much quicker than any other phones I have used. It just is not a contest PERIOD.

Give the devs a chance, be very nice if you even mention download location and alpha in the same sentence, and, be very grateful when they roll one out. If I had the time, I would love to try my hand at it, but, I really need to get up to speed on the basics first..

Or, if you are still in AT&T buyer's remorse program, you can always swap it for the 4s and a pink rhinestone incrusted case... :eek:

BTW: Does anyone really plan to use the phone without some sort of case protection? I just ordered the Otterbox and was told give them about another week and it will be out the door. The iMoshi washable screen protector is great, but, it is not exactly correct, and iMoshi is replacing it for free as soon as the next shipment with correct specs hits.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Cats Pajamas:
What is wrong with your Moshi screen protector, do you mean the circles not lining up? How are you getting Moshi to replace it? Did you buy it from their website or the att store? I have heard nothing about this.. lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Uncle Irish:
I had the Infuse and it frustrated the hell out of me. It seemed like it wanted to be a fast and functional phone, but it faceplanted daily. I moved to the HTC Vivid and I am not at all a Sense friend. It's a fast hone and has great features, but that seems like everything it can offer. I miss the screen on the Samsung phones already. What I really want to know is how well does the SR stand up to everyday use? I use Touchdown all day for work email, text a ton and use GPS daily as well. My kids watch movies on the phone when we travel and love to play games (shoot the apple is the latest.. try it!).

I don't care about a smooth back, it's getting cased. Is the camera as good as ppl say? How about the video? I've seen it skip and look choppy in some reviews when panning as cars drive by. Is it worth the 2yr extension? I've got 21 days left out of my 30 day return policy.

ROM wise, we wil get them, I've learned patience since I had my old Magic

[Kindle Fire General] JayGun:
Greetings all,

I tried flashing the insecure kernel for the Kindle (found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1372625) via fast boot. Now my Kindle is not even showing up in device manager so I can't access it from fastboot or adb.

Any tricks you guys have up your sleeves?

Thanks in advance.
[Kindle Fire General] asb2164:
I guess you forgot to read the most important line in the post where he posted the kernel. Or you are color blind and cant see the color Red.

"DO NOT FLASH THIS UNLESS U KNOW HOW TO REVERT BACK TO STOCK KERNEL"
[Kindle Fire General] JayGun:
I have a backup of my old kernel ready to flash. I just need it to be recognized by the computer so I flash it back.

The only thing I did was flash the kernel in fastboot and rebooted, now it does not show up in device manager at all.
[Kindle Fire General] fr4nk1yn:
did you try using the -I switch?
[Kindle Fire General] JayGun:
Yes sir. ADB nor fastboot sees it. I went in to device manager to re-install the driver, but it is not showing. I tried 3 different cables and it was working just fine before I did the flash via fastboot.
[Kindle Fire General] DooMLoRD:
really sorry abt this mate...

but its all a part of development & testing..

if its possible for u please RMA it or try that "factory cable" thing..
[Kindle Fire General] JayGun:
Don't worry about it DooMLoRD, I got my Fire RMA'd. I flashed the kernel because it would not hot boot. I'll try to hot boot your newer kernels and post the results.

I appreciate your reply back and thanks for developing and contributing to the cause.

Hi everyone, I'm just curious does anyone else have problems connecting Bluetooth headphones or a Bluetooth earpiece to there photon. And when I mean connecting I mean making the connection and using it for a long period of time. I can pair and sync but after listening to music for like 15 minutes the audio stops transmitting to the headset but the song shows its still playing. And yes the phone still says the Bluetooth link is still their. Any ideas?

Back on track...............Yes I do, BUT only when listening to Pandora. If I get a call and/or message, it sometimes goes out for no reason. I have to cut it off on the headset then back on. Again this is sometimes. Other than that, works fine!
[Motorola Photon 4G] nfamisnme:
I took your comment the wrong way. Sorry, I thought you meant something else. With your wife's photon, do the motor rokrs work?
[Motorola Photon 4G] nfamisnme:
Thanks for sharing. I think I got a bad photon. I'm justt going to tell sprint to send me another one. This is an ongoing issue with my photon....

No biggie. Haven't tried yet. I can try this evening and report back though.

[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
I doubt you have a bad Photon (just my opinion) as we both have the same issue. If I am doing ANYTHING else, like listening to music from my card or stock internet radio, even YouTube, works great. Pandora is like playing the lottery with the headset. And its a Motorola Bluetooth Stereo Headphones.
[Motorola Photon 4G] nfamisnme:
Thanks, nice to know I'm not alone, sprint as usual told me we have to factory reset over the phone and they Guy didn't want to wait with me while I tested the headset. He actually hung up on me. Well anyway I tested using a Motorola h500 earpiece and also my turtle beach px5 headset, and I also tested using my wife's jabra headset and they all failed. But they work on my buddy's evo flawlessly
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sarni84:
okay so I still see some people are having trouble with wifi and 4g being on at the same time or wifi cutting out. Well I had this same problem and it has been fixed for some time. Allgamer I know there is certain threads on this but no one really ever said or posted what the fix was and I have helped a few people out on this in the past few days. so I dont know if you feel cool with this or not but this has been proven to fix the wifi and 4g on at same time issue or wifi cutting out..... Now most people have the t-mobile my account app installed on there phone. I did because i like to keep tabs on where my data is for the month. I had wifi troubles it wouldnt stay connected and the 4g icon would show when i had wifi on so I found a thread that talked about uninstalling the t-mobile my account app. so I tryed it and couldnt believe what i saw thinking this was a crazy idea! So basically I went to titanium backup and froze the app i had wifi on at the time and of course 4g was showing. well as soon as i froze the app the 4g icon went away! i said no way so i had unfroze it just to test and bang 4g came back on with wifi. So basically the t-mobile my account is the culprit it is probably another way for t-mobile to spy on our data ever since i froze this app my wifi stays on when connected and never a problem coming out of sleep it doesnt disconnect. and now when i want to check data for the month i just unfreeze for 2 minutes check it then refreeze it:p ..... so if u have wifi and data problems it is most likely the t-mobile my account app so uninstall it!!!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sarni84:
Yea i noticed that like if u do happen to just have wifi on and u actually try to go into the app the 4g symbol comes on too! Its crazy on my old g2x if i tried to go into the app while wifi was on it would not let me go into the app until i cut wifi off and just had data on. Thats not the case with the s2. So maybe it isnt optimized for our phones yet? Definitely needs some fixing to say the least

Best way to root your Optimus Net from NET10 is to use a program called Unlockroot from unlockroot.com.

I kept looking for a way to root the phone and stumbled across this program and it works wonders. I have had my Optimus Net rooted for about two weeks without one problem whatsoever and it is great. I LOVE HAVING A ROOTED PHONE!!!!!!!

Try this program. It does not work with all phones as of yet, but Optimus Net is one of the phones that it does work for. It will go through the process and then it will ask you to reboot your phone, which does it for you and when it loads back up, SuperUser is installed and your phone is rooted.
