I just want ics on my rocket and I will be fine with this phone till 2013.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] the2rrell:
Is it not the same freaking phone with a bigger screen? I has the same specs right
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] M0D1441:
lmao latinohot, i'm taking some lessons on how to use smali/baksmali, So i can add an extended power before the final release. School is getting in the way a bit too much.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cdshepherd:
I'm under the impression that it does. We'll see for certain soon I hope

Sony Ericcson phones are garbage imo
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
I guess att did not think there would be alot of skyrocket owners who are thinking wtf att. Already another version of the skyrocket. Why didnt you just release it with an hd screen to begin wih
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] toxify:
Well att doesn't manufacture it....

Lol

Blame Samsung if anyone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kornklown69:
sony bought out Ericsson i predict better products
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
They both have a hand in it. Alotvof times a carrier will tell the manufacturer what they want. Then the manu will make a model of it and the carrier will approve or deny it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] toxify:
When the skyrocket originally came I'm sure they weren't aware of a possible hd version.

As for Sony making better phones, I really hope so...

This isn't a great sign. Releasing phones with the same processor/gpu as ours but 6 months later
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] draztikrhymez:
I might just wait for quad core
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kornklown69:
Same here I want a huge bump in specs if I upgrade
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Phoneguy589:
+1 I'm with you on that. I don't really have an issue with not haveing an HD screen. I'll have an upgrade in 6 months anyway so I'll wait for the next quad core phone with LTE and HD. Always something better coming every few months.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] draztikrhymez:
I just hope our development forum doesn't die
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kornklown69:
we have acquired Johnsondr80 so we will have amazing dev work coming our way
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Phoneguy589:
Haven't really read the specs but is the only difference the screen? Wonder if one could just flash a ROM and change the screen/digitizer?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vpkb:
Who cares, they'll release a new one right after that, wait for eternity then, something beteer will always come along :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Phoneguy589:
I keep telling my wife that...LOL (She doesn't like that saying for some reason.)

I like what I hear about the note but I'd like to see if it's a pain to press icons across the screen with my thumb if I'm only holding it with one hand.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] iandr0idos:
I just want to punch AT&T so hard in the face...

WHY couldn't they have told us when we bought the OG Skyrocket?!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Phoneguy589:
I agree. I work for At&t and it makes me want to punch them harder. (Disgruntled?) I'm sure I'm not the only one. If the higher ups in the company really new what to do with this side of business, they would've either gotten a version of the Galaxy Nexus with a sd-card slot and LTE for At&t OR wait and offer up the Skyrocket HD LTE at one time. But I wish I knew how to show them what's better for this company! Anyway, I'm farked unless I want to add a ghost 5th line and it's not worth it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 00mred00:
Exactly....the galaxy s 3 and 3d may be out by end of summer
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] spiritcrusher33:
The thing is it will get worse before it gets better.. The smartphone market is the pc boom of the past. cept this time most of us are locked into 2 yr contracts lmao..and dont care to pay 500 plus every few months to have the latest tech..I pick and choose my battles. lol im content with my skyrocket even in it rooted stock state.. best stock phone ive used yet.. plus its my daily.. my atrix is my fun phone etc..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] toxify:
There will always be something better on the horizon..

Enjoy what you have, no sense always yearning for the next best.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xlazaruzx:
It is worth the upgrade if it has ICS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] toxify:
I would say no..

Chances are it will have the same chipset as ours so we could easily port it over, though by then we should have ics anyway
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mossination:
Its the same phone with a bigger and HD screen? Wouldn't that just mean it has HD yes but it also has worse battery life if they use the same battery?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Longcat14:
If it uses the same 1850mAh battery, then the Adreno 220 will have to push more pixels, requiring a higher clock speed on the GPU, so yes, it will require more battery life.

Also, off-topic, 1,000 posts!!!!!!@one1!!

EDIT: The Skyrocket HD won't be worth it, especially not since there's a rumor that the Note will have a Mali-400MP4 GPU.

The only way it would have that, is if it had an Exynos 4212 (LTE compatible), or ST Ericcson NovaThor SoC (basically the Exynos supercharged).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] the2rrell:
But the note is going to have the same guts as the rocket yes??

it just has a bigger/better display with the Spen.....the at&t version is not keeping the dual exynos cpus. right?

maybe im just getting bad info here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Longcat14:
There's a rumor that it has a Mali-400MP, so it has to have either the exynos or novathor. No-one will know till specs are leaked, or its released.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] the2rrell:
If thats the case then yes i WILL be getting the Note over the HD rocket....hands down.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kornklown69:
why so they can release the galaxy note lte HD a month later haha
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Phoneguy589:
According to the Samsung site....not sure if At&t will screw it up but we know how that goes :rolleyes:, it does have a Super Amoled HD screen.

http://www.samsung.com/global/microsite/galaxynote/note/benefit.html?type=find
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] the2rrell:
well the way i see it is......i WANT to use this buyback program or i am just losing money in the long run. if i can afford the note without contract then i will do it, but i may need that extra 300/350 to get it. so i will know for sure when it comes out if i will need to go that rout.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] JL13:
i dont know why any of you guys are surprised by the release of this phone. the s2 hd lte has been out in korea for months now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] burhanistan:
It can kind of suck to know that the phone you just bought will be overshadowed by a newer, better version in just a short period of time. But, come on. Of all the things to get worked up about, not having the absolute latest phone is really low on the list. It's really a spoiled attitude to have.

So many people who are obsessed over the latest device and OS updates generally aren't using the device they have anywhere near to its own capacity. I'm all for geeking out on gadgets, but just having the latest thing and obsessing over flashing the newest ROM for its own sake is pointless.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] the2rrell:
agreed if your not using it to its full potential. but i need and want my to do pretty much all things my comp can do. and i want it to do it Very fast.

so geeked out or not. IF i can get one i WILL.

its not a must, but its nice to know that i may be able to swing it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nthknd:
Agreed
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] artisticcheese:
Does it have pentile display?

I saw Galaxy Nexus on Samsung stand in mall and did not like Galaxy Nexus screen (blurry picture quality), I assume it's due to pentile matrix Samsung used. Does new skyrocket HD has the same screen type as Galaxy Nexus?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Longcat14:
I heard a rumor floating around that AT&T is going to recall the SR for the screen issues, and replace them with a SR HD, since apparently, Samsung can't fix it with a software update.

I hope this is true.. I wouldn't mind that screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] slakker97:
That would be sick!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Frogacuda:
Yeah, it's the same one. I haven't played with the Nexus yet, but I hate the PenTile matrix, it looks like a mesh to me.

The screen on my Skyrocket is beautiful, it's really just fine for me, HD screens don't produce better legibility for text for me, they just look a little sharper around the edges in games, but at the expense of framerate, so screw it.

My main concern is just further splitting up the Galaxy S II line on AT&T. I'd hate to see this siphon away developer support for homebrew ROMs. If the two handsets are semi-compatible (i.e. ROMs can be easily compiled for either without much additional work), then I'll be happy.

This sounds like wishful thinking to me. What screen issues?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Longcat14:
The lines, blobs, things like that.

From my experience, they actually get worse over time, so that's a defective ****ing screen.

It sounds like wishful thinking sure, but it's just a rumor floating around, and we've seen what comes of rumors.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Savitt:
haha wow. well i have had it for about 3 1/2 months, so if i am going to upgrade i think i might go with the Ion, or if that Huawei phone is on AT&T
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Frogacuda:
If you have insurance on your phone, you could always just have it replaced with the HD when they take the original model out of circulation.

I haven't experienced any blobs or lines or anything like that on mine. The issue would have to be pretty extensive to warrant a recall.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] iandr0idos:
I have the screen lines...

so if AT&T recalls the Skyrocket (not likely), that would be awesome! :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dac1227:
they way the manufacturers and carriers play this game with cell phone releases/new tech reminds me of south park, kenny and the boob woman
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] demetriew:
yea i hear u. I just upgraded from my Infuse to the Skyrocket yesterday and now I hear about the "HD Skyrocket" and the "Note".... dang this is BS... I dont no what i want anymore so srcew it!!!!!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] androidpixar:
Upgradetitis!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nuwayman:
this is just crazy i think. They release the original gs2, then month later the lte version comes out, now in a few months the HD lte version will be out. What the hell is going on here! Arghhh!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Dxtra:
I'll wait for the SGS 3 knowing Samsung should be a huge upgrade
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kornklown69:
that's my thoughts
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] *** Adrian ***:
Me too...and also, i think the HD screen will leave the phone with a worse battery like on the nexus...

So, i will stick with my SR and dream with S3 until that magic day come to my...:p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xlazaruzx:
I won't be surprised if they release a 3D version few months after releasing HD.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] *** Adrian ***:
OK OK...so, lets see...

3 months later - Skyrocket HD 3D

+ 3 months later - SGS3

+ 3 months later - SGS3 Skyrocket

+ 3 months later - SGS3 Skyrocket 3D

+ 3 months later - SGS3 Skyrocket 3D with 2x more RAM memory and new GPU more powerfull

+ 3 months later - Samsung leaks possible pics of Galaxy S4

+ 3 months later - New Nexus and new Android 5.0 ( only god know the specs...)

+ 3 months later - SGS4 with new Android 5.0 witch not comes to our SR anymore

+ 3 months later - SGS4 Skyrocket 3D ( upgradable to new Android 5.0 )

+ 3 months later - SGS4 Skyrocket 3D and something else that will make us pissed off over again...

+ 3 months later - Leaks some pics of a possible new SGS5 thinner than a paper...

+ 3 months later - Apple announces Iphone 5 ( but not confirmed )...probably is the same 4GS but thinner with a larger screen and SD support...

Well, and so on...:cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] robinsonj:
Gee I don't know where you folks get your news from but when I FIRST read about what you AT&T folks call the Skyrocket, it was a product announcement of 2 new versions of the SGS II about to ship with LTE, the SGS II LTE and the SGS II LTE HD, ...precisely at the same time, and that was almost a year ago. No possible way the carriers didn't know it, they just opted to only carry the lower spec one. I suspect that the reason the HD version hasn't been released by a carrier in North America yet is because it would have been way too expensive to make more than a handful of sales PLUS if it was for sale next to the non HD version it would kill it's sales.

I know I sure contemplated waiting for it, but by the time the SGS II LTE was finally available here, the SGS III speculation was already in full swing. No chance you will EVER own the best piece of hardware available for more than a few months. This is a technology that's advancing faster than PCs did in the 90s. By the time a new "best" comes out its successor is already in production and being boxed for future release.

There were a couple people on this board importing the HD ones months ago, you had to have realized it would make its way here eventually.

I'm quite pleased with the "Skyrocket", and will personally try my level best to be happy with it (with an ICS update) and tough it out until there are at least two more exciting changes... SGS III LTE, or maybe even IV... I know this phone is already a better computer than my previous laptop and is certainly better than my current desktop. I was an "early adopter" years back but have been trying to curb that appetite... (the $1200 DVD player that could be soundly beat by a $50 no-name brand now, or the plasma display that cost as much as a car but can be beat by a bigger higher res, lower power Walmart impulse buy now)

You have to eventually give up on "best available" for anything more than a few months unless you can keep feeding money into the machine every few months... Sometimes it's also almost better... if you let 2 or 3 iterations of "best" go by, the you really appreciate the difference when you finally do take the plunge! The changes we're seeing right now in the top end are incremental.

Bring on the quad core flexible 1080p projection 3D phones... I guarantee it won't be long. I figure I'll try my best to always let at least one model go by, and 2 if I can manage. ;-)

U nailed it!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Savitt:
trade in? isn't there a fee or something?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Ryanscool:
There is just one hope.... Hopefully the note, skyrocket, and skyrocket hd have specs in common. That would make porting inbetween easier!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] appdroid:
Yes i think it will.

AT&T's Galaxy Note receives a brain transplant with a 1.5GHz dual-core CPU (presumably a Qualcomm Snapdragon S3) replacing the 1.4GHz dual-core Exynos processor.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cashyftw:
I really hope the note has our specs! Support would rise.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] appdroid:
I am pretty sure it does have our support cauz of LTE.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mimart7:
Does anyone know if the Skyrocket HD has the same audio chip, as the current version? With this just announced at CES, the specs may or may not be available.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] appdroid:
It will most likely have same cauz main focus is hd display.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sdemmitt79:
I contemplated over the skyrocket and nitro HD and to be honest I couldn't really tell all that much in terms of screen resolution or pixel density. Maybe I wasn't looking hard enough or I'm just getting old. I'll stick with the skyrocket non HD for now and just wait for the sgs lll.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Frogacuda:
If you're really wrestling with this, just pay for the insurance plan on your phone and then wait for them to discontinue the regular skyrocket and ask for a replacement.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] the2rrell:
^^^^that would take forever.

but it is an idea.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Frogacuda:
Honestly, how long do you think they intend to offer the Skyrocket and the Skyrocket HD side by side before retiring the Skyrocket? I give it 3 months, tops.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] the2rrell:
3 months is too long it doesn't even come out for 2 months
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] thebeardedchild:
So I'm reading conflicting reports about this phone's screen..some are saying Super AMOLED Plus, while others say it's not plus. Does anyone know anything about this with a little more solidity?

If it's plus, then damn...THAT would be the best screen available, easily!

On a side note, any one think it's weird that AT&T wouldn't announce the Nexus at CES? I thought their version passed the FCC recently, so I would assume they DO have one on the way...why not announce then? I wonder if it'd be LTE...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] galaxyuser88:
One of the main reason for phone companies to release a new phone today, and then release a better version of the same phone 2-6 months later - is people like us that keep buying these phones and then selling the old ones to buy the new one, wether it is off-contract or on-contract. This is how they are making money. The only way to stop this, is to stop buying these phones every 2-6 months and then maybe the companies will only release new phones once a year. Just my opinion ( iam sure iam gonna get flamed for this).. :rolleyes:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mossination:
You guys might as well just wait for the s3. Samsung rarely dissapoints.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kornklown69:
i decided ima stop the cycle well at leaat this time around :P and upgrade normally
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ajamils:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sdemmitt79:
I agree but the only thing is the 9 months + it will take to finally get to att
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] the2rrell:
Yep I think HD will come after the note.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mossination:
Your right, I completely forgot about that. Its just it seems like the phone thats going to get the most dev support. Even more than the nexus line of phones. Lol when the skyrocket HD comes out the skyrocket 3D will be just around the corner.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] androidpixar:
Does anyone know if its coming with 4.0?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 00mred00:
Little known rumor....Samsung has been working on a 3d phone...but they think very little of the idea of a 3d phone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Frogacuda:
It is not, but it wouldn't at all surprise me if they have the upgrade ready around that time, though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 00mred00:
well..my guy has still heard nothing about the HD ..specs, release date, etc.

I feel like we have fast food options now..

would you like small med or large

skyrocket, skyrocket HD, or a note lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] androidpixar:
Still nothing on when its coming out?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] netnerd:
yeah. i cant wait for skyrocket hd.

i think note is too big and way too heavy!

and i hate heavy phone!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 00mred00:
Nothing yet but I received an invite today to become a tester. And he has some news for me he will give me in Saturday bit I believe that will be about the s3
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kornklown69:
let us know what ya hear :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mbucks911:
i dont care that much. hd is preffered but on day to day use i dont really care about resolution, and i usually watch movies on my laptop, tv, or tprime so the extra res would just slow the phone down. All Hail SKyrocket!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 00mred00:
Its sounding like the hd isn't going to go into production.

We may actually see it as the s3 ...no quadcore

Time will yell...but that is what i have pit together with the bits and pieces I have found
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] androidpixar:
They really need to be a lil more imaginative with the names, S3 honestly sounds silly and stupid.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Animec:
Hi!

I've been trying to figure out how to get X11-forwarding working from my ubuntu-desktop as an alternative to VNC and splashtop, and I just can't seem to figure it out. I am alas a bit too new to Linux to be able to see through the jungle, right now I'm stuck trying to figure out how to make openSSH (on the touchpad) play nice with SSH2 (on the PC).

Do any of you know how to get this working? Have any of you tried it?

Splashtop worked fine (through wine) for viewing (eg. videos) but didn't let me actually do anything like clicking things etc. Damned shame :(

Anyway, any and all help would be very much appreciated :)

were you referring to this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Wz--fyNVq0

if so download here - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CK8HAHRY

to install - make sure you are rooted

use file explorer to go to /system/media folder, change it to RW

paste the bootanimation file, select override when prompted

change folder back to RO

reboot

is there a file manager thats free and how do i make folder RW ??

Sorry new to all this
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaolinx:
ESFileExplorer works great.

For file permission, you would have to adb shell/session, busybox, or use a terminal. Then type in the following command

- su

- chmod 755 "file location"

I think right clicking and going into properties on the file and changing it that waywhile the tab is mounted as usb storage also works. ;)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] animatechnica:
you can also ise ES File Explorer to go to the directory and click on the menu (3 stacked horizontal bars) and find settings where you can enable root access and RW/RO toggling
