Threads like this are just nonsense. If u r unhappy with nexus just leave and go back. People could care less, just taking up space. I have no problems with the Nexus and will be purchasing another after my wife took mine, she had a galaxy s2 previously.

Instant updates for what? Its not like an ota is going to fix the camera or hardware. Face it, its a sub-par device and there isn't anything on ics that works dramatically better than gingerbread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MMcCraryNJ:
Atrix 2? LOL! That's a good one.

I think what is happening with everyone being upset over their Nexus purchase is that the delays from Verizon turned the phone into a mythical device. Everybody became curious, even people who weren't interested at first/didn't know about it at first. Somewhere along the line, people forgot about the Nexus brand devices are all about, and people's expectations went through the roof.

Now people that thought this device was going to be absolutely flawless and perfect are disappointed. It happens. Me, I had realistic expectations of the device, and they've been exceeded. I see nothing wrong with the pictures being taken, low-light performance and capture is a step above what everyone is saying it is, ICS is beautiful, and a stock build with updates direct from Google is something NO other device has.

This phone is awesome and I'm very happy to own it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beenyweenies:
Man, people just LOVE to ***** and moan.

Why would you even bother telling us how unhappy you are, its not like WE made the damned thing! Go get a different phone and troll THEIR forums talking about how much you dislike it, too.

I have had the nexus GSM for 3 weeks and the Verizon lte. For a week and of is a lesser device for any task. Laugh at the ATRIX if you want, but everything is faster on it. The cases blows the nexus away, web browsing is much faster and way more intuitive, battery life is superior and the screen is much sharper than a pentile. I can have any phone I want, and have. The bottom line is the nexus is all advertising hype.

I totally agree. It's just after having used the nexus, I just don't see anything that stands out. I waited to see/use this phone since last spring, and all I can say is that to me, it's a dissapointment. Over the course of this year, the hardware has grown outdated - even before it's release.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] digitheatre:
and then why you still need to ***** and moan in Galaxy Nexus threads? sell your nexus, go to you superior Atrix2 device and enjoy it. Still trying to justify your decision? Still have some love/hate for nexus? :p yeah..we know :D

As the OP of the thread, I would just like to state that you're an idiot.

I'm willing to bet you have never owned a nexus, and you are bashing it as a way to justify owning an atrix still LOL.

An ATRIX? Seriously?!?!? hahahaha

I may be complaining about a few things on the nexus, but the atrix is NO WHERE NEAR its level.

I love the galaxy nexus...by far the best phone I've ever owned. I just like to complain about a few things like everyone else.

EDIT: An atrix!!! HAHAHAH

I haven't kept up with newly released phones in a while, so I had to look up the release date of the Atrix 2.

It came out 2 months ago and you guys are bashing this guy for owning it "STILL"? lol.. really? 2 months old and you're bashing him for owning it like it's a rotary telephone?

I must be misunderstanding something here....

(I am not saying the Atrix 2 can perform anywhere near what the GN can -- that's not the point of this post)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PaulG1488:
Cmon who paid you to do this I've read this post a few times today and I laughed every single time there is no way you're making these statements and being honest about it

I also want to point out that I have a few friends that own the atrix1 and 2 and even they can't believe you're serious.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dario3040:
Haha ;D thanks for the laugh.

Now let's take this one step at a time, shall we?

Web browsing is much faster and intuitive:

Nope, and nope.

The Galaxy Nexus is faster than the GS2 when it comes to web browsing, and a Tegra 2 device isn't even close.

Batterylife is superior:

Big nope.

And the screen is much shaper than a pentile.

Gigantic nope on that one.

540 x 960 = 518 400

1280 x 720 = 921 600

Not quite, but almost twice as many pixels on the display, and somehow the new improved pentile is going to be worse on a 720p screen?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] taker888:
I've had the S2-i9100 and T-Mobile's S2 and compare to the Galaxy Nexus, I rather the GN because its just much more easier to multitask and its something new to look at. As for speed wise and laggyness, I havent had any problems with. Seems smooth to me just as fast as the S2's especially on version 4.0.1. Now camera wise.. OMFG, Compare to my previous S2's Galaxy Nexus suxs hell. I like to take pics alot and now I'm right back down to my iphone 4 camera. The S2's takes flawless pics, much brighter and clearer. GN just needed that top notch camera lens and it would have been a 10. IDK Y ppl were saying it doesn't matter about the low pixels, cuz clearly it shows. IDK if pixels and lens are 2 different things but either way, something should have been upgraded. At the end, the GN is still better than the iphone 4, i9100 s2 and t989 s2 i previous had.

Hi, I just updated my SGS2 to 2.3.4 via Kies, every thing is working fine but OTG stopped working. The same cable was working great on 2.3.3.

Is this a firmware issue or my cables went bad ?

And my fone is rooted.

Is there any way to make OTG work again on 2.3.4

And does it work with 2.3.5 n 2.3.6 (official) firmwares?

I just realized that CFW will be virtually nonexistent on the skyrocket, and the s2 is seemingly supported very well, and not to mention there is no LTE coverage in my area.

Form factor is also nicer on GS2, and I assume battery life is also longer.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I'm not jealous at all - I feel sorry for those who said OOH SHINY LTE!

It's fatter, it's heavier, if you look over on the AT&T support forums it drops connectivity all the time, and has piss-poor battery life. It also has the same screen quality issues the T989 does.

It's also a developer's nightmare consisting of parts Samsung just threw together from the parts bin. As a result, the few developers the phone has need to do a LOT more work. In terms of active developers the I777 and I727 are probably about the same - but the I727 community is completely on their own (other than the T989), whereas we have the community of one of Samsung's flagship devices to pull from.

I call it the ****rocket because it has NO business carrying the Galaxy S II name - it has NOTHING whatsoever in common with the Galaxy S II. If it were just the Skyrocket and someone didn't try to apply a name it doesn't deserve to it, I'd just ignore it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyydynasty:
lol thats another phone that many people will hate on, too. I'm not going to defend a phone that hasnt been released on AT&T but i does sound like it going to be a disapointment.

i can't comment on the developers aspect since I'm not a dev, so I'll take your word for it - lol

but i'm curious if the skyrocket came out before the OG GS2, would people be saying the same thing? I'm confident that people would hate the GS2 because it doesnt have LTE and all the stuff that the SR comes with.

I'm not bashing anyone, I'm just curious why people hate the SR so much. If you dont have the phone, dont hate on it. It didnt do anything to you (and I dont mean you, Entropy. Its a general 'you') :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jake:
Owned it, don't hate it one bit. its a hunk of glass / metal LoLz. If anything, I am hating samsung for fking up the sensors / hardware on our phone thus rendering it an official PAIT to recieve a port for ICS. I don't blame Entropy for not wanting to pull a hack job to cook up a kernel for that bs ... his work is *****

As far as the Skyrocket ... it is a junk pile imho. The thing has issues across the board. Do your homework and you will see why it is not such a great device. It is one of Samsung's possibly worst releases yet IMho. Screen issues, chipset issues, etc. you enjoy yours though !
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
If the Skyrocket had come out before the I777, I would have been disappointed. If the I777 had never been released, I would have simply imported the I9100, or maybe the Note or HSPA+ GNex. Simply put, no matter what else might have been on the market, after my experience with the Infuse, I would not have touched the SR with a ten foot pole.

The Infuse was a nightmare in terms of development and ever seeing updates, and it had about 70% hardware commonality with the original GalaxyS series devices.

The Skyrocket has maybe 5% commonality (similar touchkey driver - that's about it), meaning that everything that was bad about the Infuse:

1) No similar devices to borrow development from

2) Oddball hardware not used/supported on any other device

3) Complete and total lack of update support due to being a wacky one-off interim device

applies even moreso to the ****rocket. On top of that, the ****rocket has LTE - which means it's going to be a battery-hogging fatty. LTE is not going to be mature for at least another year, just like the first 2-3 years of UMTS handsets were also battery-hogging fatties.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TechSilver13:
I owned the gs2 then a skyrocket and im back with the gs2. Reason why... Screen and LAG. SR is great but performance is bad after going from an S2 to the SR

I live in a LTE area and still got the SGS2 instead. You couldnt pay me to use another phone with the underperforming/jerky poor-mans-dual-core Snapdragon. Exynos destroys every Android used CPU today. No vertical screen lines issues and overall nicer screen when used side hy side, better dev community with direct ports of the OG's roms, and better battery life.

I wouldnt mind having a Skyrocket, but having to choose, its no contest imo

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] garyd9:
I had the SR for a week or two before exchanging it for the SII. In my case, I was able to get the SR for $149, but had to pay an extra $50 to get the SII. For me, it was worth it. It's important that I live in a non-LTE area (and my rural home likely won't see LTE coverage for years.) That's a double-edged sword in that I didn't get LTE speeds, but also didn't have the massive hit to the battery that LTE seems to incur.

Screen: Everyone picks on the SR screen size... It's only a 1/4" larger than the SII screen, but has the same resolution. However, even though everyone seems to think it makes the screen horrible to look at due to the lower PPI (dpi), keep in mind the actual numbers: SR is ~207ppi and the SII is ~221ppi. Not much difference. For someone with less than perfect vision, the larger screen might actually be easier to see. (Compare the ppi numbers to a typical computer monitor which is somewhere around 80-120ppi.)

Battery: I get several more hours of usage from my SII than I was able to get with my SR, despite the fact that the SR has a higher capacity battery. This is with no LTE service. If I was in a LTE area, I'm guessing the battery for the SR would last half as long as the SII.

Physical size: I found the SR more difficult to manipulate quickly with a single hand due to the larger physical size. This is one of those areas where you just need to pick the thing up and try it. (On the other hand, the SR was easier to type on with two hands.)

Community Support: This references places like XDA - the SII simply is better supported. It might be because the SII has been around longer, or it might be because of the international version of the SII. It could be for any of a dozen reasons, but it doesn't change the fact.

CIQ: I refuse to purchase any phone that has a rootkit pre-installed. AT&T claims it's not active on the SR as of mid-December, but they never said that they won't be activating it. If they took the time and expense of getting Samsung to cram it on the device, then it's reasonable to guess that it'll get activated once they work out the performance issues (and it's a safe bet that CIQ is more important to AT&T than getting ICS out in a timely manner.)

Now I'll ask you a question or two: If you ask a "SR vs SII?" question in the SII forum, what kind of answers did you expect? Why not search "skyrocket" in this forum to see the answers given nearly daily for the same questions?

Good luck in finding your answers

I noticed this too when using a friends Skyrocket. It's just not as fast or smooth as my i777 SG2, both in use and doing stuff like browsing online etc. I noticed some lag as well, which all of the above some reviews have pointed out. Not sure what's causing the issues/glitches?

I'm really impressed by the i777 SG2, best all around phone right now imo. it's fast, smooth, great battery life, and the size is just right with the screen at 4.3" . It swayed me away from iPhones which I didn't think could happen lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hurley81388:
i first bought the SR because i loved the larger screen (coming from iphone 3gs) but traded it in within my 30 days for the sgs 2 due to the poor battery life.

i find that the battery is better on the sgs2 and i have no need for lte because i spent 80%+ of my time in wi-fi areas and i don't think hspa+ is slow anyways.

in terms of lagginess, i haven't really noticed any difference moving from the SR to the sgs2 but i'm not so picky about those things.

also, in a non-LTE area the sgs2 is quite a bit cheaper than the SR so this was also a factor in my decision.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
No... At this point getting rid of CIQ is top priority - they've got a Senator on their asses now.

CIQ was in early leaks for the Infuse but disappeared from the UCKL2 leak. Similarly, even Sprint is dropping it like a hot potato.

So, you have utterly ****-poor battery life. Anything less than 24 hours is NOT something to be even remotely proud of unless you are an extremely heavy user.

I mean, it's sad that you're proud of having worse battery life than an I777 that has had deep sleep permanently inhibited by a wakelock.

The processor used in the skyrocket to be compatible with LTE isnt as good as a performer as the the original used in the OG and i777 (Exynos) Thats mainly why is lags, and maybe lack of optimization too since Samsung doesnt normally use Qualcomm CPU's

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dmnall:
I have compared the ****rocket to my sgs2 and all I can say is the i777 is a better performing phone. The sales person who I purchased my i777 from stated the SR was way better and his was customized compared to the floor model, which at the time my phone was walking all over the floor model but his was a little faster, but he would not let me touch his phone at all claiming that a store reps phone is not allowed to be flashed with any custom f/w bs speech. Comparing stock to stock, the SR is definitely slower and the screen was not as good as my phone. I walked in and compared my phone to the same rep but this time, my phone running unnamed walked all over his sr and then he tried to play that my phone has to be modded bs crap again.

The SR should of not had the GS2 name slapped on it and it would have been a better platform but adding the gs2 name on it was to get more sales + lte, but other than that, it is a let down in my opinion.

HTH,

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
You hate the phone because Google Restore didn't restore everything?

Google Restore is the first thing I disable these days - I don't want apps that don't apply to my device getting installed on it. (When I got my Tab 10.1, it restored all the apps installed on my Infuse...)

If a tiny thing like that bothers you, you're going to hate every phone on the planet.

Just use TiBu - problem solved. IF you're flashing things THAT often you're clearly rooted.

Or maybe you just shouldn't flash things so often?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] brent8577:
I mention restore because it is supposed to work. tibu can do the free apps, but even after market linking, it causes the notification icon for downloading to stay after completion and random apps not linking. my big problem was the audio. I didn't expect high quality. but it is such low quality that I have to buy a new cowon to enjoy music. I also want a phone to start learning to develop on without having to wait on Samsung. this is still a great phone, but I want different things. some people may wish to know they will have to re enter home, work, school, and public wifis before they go over 200mb or 2gb, when they wipe. yes, I probably flash too much.
