[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] joshuadjohnson22:
im really thinking about it... the screen res was my only complaint with the s2 and now i see hope in the future!!!!

oh and i live in a LTE area

I used my wife's upgrade to get the S2 and i am available for a upgrade next month... i might sell my iphone 4 and S2 and take the upgrade... ill have to play with one first. My wife loves her phone so im set
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] K Rich:
as far as I know, the Exynos doesnt support LTE yet.

unless that has changed in the last couple months?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dmm5157:
I'm sticking with mine. I live in a city that probably won't get LTE for another year or more. By that time, something else will be out and I can get an upgrade then.

I love my GS2 and battery life has been fantastic. Although I'd like a higher resolution screen, it's not enough to make me want to switch to the Skyrocket HD.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyydynasty:
i live about 15 minutes north of NYC and LTE stops there so I'm just outside the LTE area. I wont be worrying about LTE devices anytime soon lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Firepac:
At this point I will just wait for the SGSIII
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
They've had LTE capable exynos processors for a couple months now, I don't know why they haven't used them
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] brent8577:
I live in West Virginia. I don't know about Entropy512, but we are last on things like this if we even make the list. you need LTE to use LTE on your phone.

on topic, I'm disgusted with the amount of phones coming out. are people really upgrading every 2 months? Im not getting this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ferrocene:
Precisely. There is nothing wrong with the S2. Fast, thin, light and long battery. What else do you want?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
My guess is that Samsung will wait to unveil their Exynos powered LTE chip for the SGIII instead of some proprietary AT&T phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tylerdurdin:
Not to mention the back of the phone is disgusting to look at....it looks like a bad rip off a HTC phone. If you were to jump ship everytime Samsung releases a decent phone you would be switching 10 times per contract. This may be the only thing I don't like about Samsung....they are totally selling out the SGS2 name....attaching it to as many subpar pieces of **** they can now. I love my phone....not upgrading for a long time even though I have another in march....ICS ain't even a sale for me....every rom on XDA is a ICS rom or a look alike.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
That would make a lot of business sense. If that's how they decide to play it. I'll just wait for that.

high res screen...:) if the s2 had that i would be in love... i wish they could just add that lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] graffixnyc:
If it has the sammy cpu/gpu I'm all over it, if not then I will wait for a sammy cpu with LTE which will prob be the GS3. even though when I had the sprint version of the gs2 I thought the 4.52 form factor was too big. If it's like the galaxy nexus 4.65 which side by side with the 4.52 wasnt really much bigger then I'll also go for it. I just thought the 4.52 was too wide feeling when you were holding it in your hand casually
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tylerdurdin:
There is nothing crazy superior to the display on the SGS2 ....if having the numbers in the spec sheet is important then I guess its a must have. Side by side with the Nexus....the nexus is better yes....but how much? Every aspect....hell no...its been said a million times but the Cellphone game is a game that CAN NOT be won. There will he something better 3 months after you upgrade.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
You're comparing apples to oranges. Remember, the Galaxy Nexus has no capacitive buttons so its all screen. Even though it has a 4.65" screen, there is no bezel bellow to house the buttons. The Galaxy Nexus is just slightly larger than our phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
I'd wager that this new phone would also have no capacitive buttons. hence the large screen. just a hunch.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I didn't get 3G until maybe 2 years ago...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
Youngsters nowadays are just running along side with the techies, that's why.

I just got off my antiqued flip phone and joined the SGS2 family for about a week.

So my next phone will probably be 3 years from now, by that time SGS5 might be released :)

How's about 6G network just implemented :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sgood1971:
Hiya Neighbor :D

I know what you mean about being last on the list for everything, we have only had DSL where I live for about 3 years. Before that it was dial up or satellite. LTE is not likely to happen here for several years.

I'm pretty stoked with the SGS2 though, see no reason to want to upgrade any time soon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
I didnt know you lived in Antarctica. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
the skyrocket hd has capacitive buttons since it runs 2.3
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tylerdurdin:
LOL he lives about two hours from me and I can say two years ago I didnt even have service at my house....upstate NY was not one of AT&Ts sweet spots....in the mountains anyway....5 minutes or so from my house perfect service. The free micro-cell from AT&T was nice at home though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AcmeWidgets:
I only upgrade every 2 yrs. If I needed the extra mhz, then I'd just overclock.

Don't want LTE. I'm on the 200mb for $15.00 a month. With hspa alone, I push it on my overage. I use majority wifi. Also, I don't want a bigger screen. (it's getting into tablet area!) I'm still not nearly using the full potential of my SGS2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
Ahhh good point. fail. nvm....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] twiggums:
my gs2 keeps me perfectly happy. I don't see any reason to replace it yet. :p

Although i was wondering about something. So the new screen on that device is 1280x720. Our phone is 800x480. That phone has 2.4 times as many pixels to render. So i'm curious is GPU power needed linearly related to pixel count to achieve the same outcome? (assuming similar hardware design) so it'd need about 2.5 times as much GPU power to keep the screen running as smooth?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jtc276:
Wow. I never thought I'd ever meet another person on any forum who's also from West Virginia. But yeah, we'll be dead last to get LTE.

And on topic: As others have said, if it's Snapdragon it's a no-go. Really a 720p PENTILE screen is nothing to write home about. I compared the OGS2 to the Galaxy Nexus and the only real improvements were the whites. But it was hardly anything to worry about.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jivy26:
I'm sticking with this until something way more tempting comes it. I saw titan 2 with 16 mp camera that's nuts. Either way I'll ride this pony for a year like I did the captivate.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
I saw "5ghz-dual-cor/" in the shortened link... I wish that was possible. With good battery life of course.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
Pretty sure I read somewhere that it had the same CPU as the original Skyrocket, which makes the only difference the slightly larger screen. I doubt its higher resolution is anything to write home about.

AT&T's iteration of the Note will be LTE enabled.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] slatestud:
I used to have an lg Nitro but swapped for i777 because the battery life sucked

however, the screen was gorgeous. 720p is a lot better then you would think...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Quadra_Slam:
I don't think the AT&T Note will have an Exynos processor. I can't post links yet, but Engadget discussed it today.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
Ahh, found it. Well that sucks.

EDIT: Wait a minute. This link says Exynos. This one says Qualcomm, and this one implies it. I've found several articles; most state or imply that it won't be Exynos.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RockRatt:
I am totally happy and staying with the OGSGS2 at least until something quite a bit better comes around and HAS a compatible international counterpart. In FACT i dont know if I will EVER buy another att phone and just opt for an jnternational version. I tjoroughly weighed it out this time around and chose to get the att sgs2 mainly for tbe IN CASE something went bad with it scenario. But i also wont have any of my four lines come up until the end of 2012 and the rest into 2013 sometime. And ON THAT NOTE...

If you already have a pending upgrade possibky you can still get it BUT I called att when i got my ogsgs2 and found out that at the end of last year they have changed HOW their upgrade policy works now. I have ALWAYS been able to upgrade my line every 12 months since it is the primary phone on the account. BUT ATT has changed their upgrade policies for EVERYONE to a MINIMUM of 20 months between upgrade availability now. Dont believe me call and find out for yourself.

So my plan at this time is POSSIBLY getting the International SGS3 when it is available and doing this for now on. Get out of all my two year contracts and just use unsubsidized phones.

I'm liking the titan 2, I love this phone and Android (never mind the sent from lol) but I am starting to get annoyed at the rate the phones are being released here. Our phone has already had 2 "successors" and it'sonly been around since October. I doubt we'll get much more super from AT&T when there's 2 newer versions. Yes that's enough to drive me to WP7. that's a long way off though so I'll be sticking with my s2 for awhile.

With the way that Android has exploded and helped Samsung to be the No. 1 phone manufacturer, I highly doubt they would ditch Android.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sd7318:
This phone is the perfect example of why buy back works out great at best buy mobile, within 6mo. you'd get min. $350 guaranteed to put towards outright phone price (which you'd pricematch carriers outright price) of the next 4 Galaxy S II xxxx that come out every two months lol

Never seen a phone "update " so fast before..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] enigma00:
Would you care to explain what you have against the Snapdragon processors? While the current generation (code name Scorpion) isn't the best, you need to understand the Snapdragon started much earlier in the APU/SoC cycle than all the competitons like the Samsung Exynos or Apple A5 and will have their next generation (code name Krait) soon which should outperform all the others (see the related article on Anandtech).

Even with the aging architecture, the latest Snapdragon (MSM8260/8660) 1.5Ghz parts perform pretty well.

The Exynos is the APU, not the modem. Unless you are saying the modem has some sort of dependency on the APU/SoC, your statement doesn't seem to make sense.

The "sammy cpu" (i.e. Hummingbird, Exynos) is just a plain implementation of the ARMv7 with minor customizations, and the "sammy gpu" is the straight ARM Mali-400 design (i.e. not Samsung's design at all).

So, if you want to insist on "sammy cpu/gpu", you can, but it looks to me like you are looking at the minuscule details. Remember, in tech world, history doesn't necessarily repeat itself.

By the way, there is a good discussion on Mali-400 vs. Adreno 220 (Qualcomm-designed GPU based on AMD mobile unit acquisition): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1085149

Engadget confirmed it has the Snapdragon 1.5Ghz, like the Skyrocket.

This is a wild speculation at best. I would be shocked if Samsung moves its entire flagship line to this obscure OS. I wouldn't be surprised if Samsung does a model or two (not the flagship) with it, and Samsung is known to hedge its bets. However, I wouldn't trust this article without any source mentioned.

Easily beatean by 1.2GHz Exynos.

The Qualcomm LTE modem/radio chip requires/depends on Qualcomm APU. It is a known fact. All Samsung LTE phones (even some higher speed HSPA+ phones like the GS2 for T-Mo) uses Qualcomm SoC.

My wifes folks live in a town in Mississippi that just got 3g last month. Lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
1) To match the Exynos it needs to get clocked 300 MHz higher. This translates to higher power consumption for the same performance. (See Pentium 4 vs Athlon XP for a historical example.)

2) As implemented in Samsung, it means ZERO hardware commonality with international flagship devices like the GT-N7000. This means you're 100% AT&T's ***** when it comes to software updates, and you don't have the international software community to leverage. Even 70% commonality or so (Infuse) is too low. Don't expect devs to flock to this device, just like they didn't flock to the ****rocket. Too many of us learned hard lessons with the Infuse, and aren't going anywhere near a device that is going to be even MORE frustrating to work with than the Infuse was. ****rocket is to the GS2 what the Infuse was to the Captivate. AT&T Note and ****rocket II just continue the tradition of developer nightmares.

3) This hardware noncommonality means that the device will not have the manufacturing maturity that its international sibling has. See the ****rocket as an example - defect rate seems higher, all sorts of weird power management bugs, poor screen quality, etc.

Qualcomm LTE modems require Qualcomm CPUs.

Most people don't realize that what in the PC world is just one "GPU" is often two or more subsystems in the ARM SoC world. On Samsung devices, video decoding is not handled by the main GPU but by Samsung's MFC hardware. I personally don't care about 3D performance, but Samsung's MFC is one of the better video decoders out there.

I agree here - Tizen is more likely to be the new Bada, not a replacement for Android. Samsung trying to replace Android would be suicide, they'd lose their market share immediately. People aren't buying Samsungs because they are Samsungs - they are buying them because they're well implemented Android devices and because TouchWiz is the least bloated/crippled of the manufacturer skins (I dislike TW, but Sense is even more bloated and Motoblur is just plain ****.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MB7H:
Likely sticking with my GSII until my upgrade next November. No phone seems worth it yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BWheezy:
I bought a SGS II outright last week so my upgrade is still coming end of April. Debating what to do, if the Experia Ion came to market with a reasonable price I would consider it, but the lack of a microSD slot and the sealed in battery ala iFawn is making me think twice. The Exmor-R 12mpix camera should be revolutionary, should rival a low end pocket camera easily. As it is I may let it ride until something really revolutionary hits, I feel like the SGS II is a good balance based on what's available now and I got it for a great price.

I would never upgrade to the Skyrocket HD. My current SGS2 is just to sweet! The larger HD screen is not that big of a jump. I will wait and hope the SGSIII comes this year to AT&T, as long as it sticks with the Android O/S that is!

I wouldn't jump ship for the skyrocket HD, but Sony sure is making me look forward to their future Android line up. Those phones are sexy! Their new skin doesn't look too bad either.

FYI if the SGSIII does have lte don't expect it to be compatible with all networks as the LTE frequencies being used vary across all networks. Hence why we can't take Verizon LTE phone to access AT&T's LTE network or vice versa.

Of course this is my opinion so take it with a grain of salt. :-)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dr Triffid:
Apparently there are a lot of us in the armpit of technology advancement.

I bought a Samsung Sync in November 2006 because I was attracted to its screen (some things never change) while the sales doofus couldn't stop raving about the "killer fast" 3G speeds I was going to get when the service went live in a couple of months. That "killer fast" speed showed up in the greater Wheeling area in January 2009.

That said, I'm happy with my GSII -- even with the 2.3.6 flub -- and will have no problem riding out this contract. The screen size is right for me, and I hope the current trend toward 4.5-5-inch screens doesn't stunt the development of phones in the 4-inch range.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheGovi:
I'm keeping the GS2 and waiting for the GS3.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] foxbat121:
The bottom line is:

* If your area doesn't have LTE, keep your GS2.

* If your area already has LTE or is going to have LTE soon, SR HD is worth the consideration for the HD screen and LTE speed.

For example, I'm in Washington DC area, my 3G speeds are about as fast as dial-up modem because the over congested network AT&T has here. LTE is available (as a supprise to me one month after I got my GS2). So, I'm seriously considering upgrade to SR HD for LTE speed as well as HD screen. The HD screen (the same as Galaxy Nexus) sweetens the deal so that I can forgive the poor processor it comes with.

LTE network is much more efficient network technology (besides the fact that not many ppl are on it). Not only it is faster (especially in my area) than 3G, it has much less lag as well. So, even at the same speed as HSPA+, the overall experience should be better. Of course, battery life will be short. I have a car charger with me. So, it is not a big problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tory13579:
I will not...

Where I live (Dallas) LTE is spotty at best. HD I could live without. and I wouldnt trade the close compatibility with the i9100 for that.

I think my HSPA i777 is perfect for me for now and will be for 2 years unless something comes out next year that i will get outright.

I am however kicking myself in the but that Newegg has the GNex and Note on there site. They got them right after I got my i777... lol

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RoninBlackSoul:
Hi,

I'm using my phone while I'm stuck in the hospital. This is the first using 3g on an android rom as I never had the need for it. Did use 3g for a month back on WM6.5 which worked great.

On with the details.

Using Typhoon ROM 3.7.5 MAGLDR on Dorimax kernel 3.3

Original was tytung r14 but was dreadful but could have been my apn settings.

Tried Dorimax 3.6 but get random phone freezes and reboots.

Network: Germany. Blau.de prepaid

Originally with tytung r14 the 4g symbol showed with 4 bars. It was fast. Was able to do 50 Meg market updates in 20 minutes and decent surfing for about an hour. Then all of a sudden went from 4g to 3g to E then G all with 4 bars signal strength. Pretty much every thing times out. Then went to Dorimax kernels to check for improvements and it seemed liked it but same problems persists.

I did some speed tests which all failed but 2 while on 4g and kernel 3.3

1 - Ping: 164ms. Down: 17 kbps. Up: 110 kbps

2 - Ping: 123ms. Down: 5 kbps. Up: 1536 kbps

3 - Ping: 119ms. Down: 459 kbps. Up: 1596 kbps

Can really use some help on this as I can't get a good search going from my phone.

RoninBlackSoul
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tobiascrystal:
Clk or magldr?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RoninBlackSoul:
Sorry. MAGLDR.

Updated with another speed test. After I disabled data for about 25 and activated it. Everything works fast for about 5-10 minutes before it goes from H down to G all on 4 bars of signal strength. Then nothing seems to work. I was able to complete test 3.

Now disabling data and then reactivating after 30 seconds brings it right back to Gprs.

I need to try airplane mode next.
