[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Sirgatory:
Well, from my standpoint (skyrocket owner) The skyrocket definitely looks nicer. The bigger screen in nice, although 4.3" is great as well. You'd think the resolution would be worse than the original, but it is virtually the same. And my eyes are picky, too.

For those of you who say the OG sII is faster, get real. Yes the exynos processor is faster and more efficient on benchmark and spec sheets, but both processors are silky smooth when using the phones in real world circumstances.

In terms of battery life, I have owned both; and I will say that in a non LTE area, they get the same battery life(give or take). In an lte area, the skyrocket will definitely lose, but it will be much, much quicker on the internet :-)

Finally, dev support. Yes the original has great dev support. However because exynos does not support lte, manufacturers will be making more phones with the snapdragon 8860. Which in turn will mean that most devices(and ROMs) that run on 8860 can and will be ported to the skyrocket.

In the end, I chose the skyrocket. Why? Because when I go to sell it in 6-12 months, it will have worked just as well as the original sII, and it will have a much higher resale value due to LTE.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Rolex81:
So what you're really trying to say here is the OG SII is faster
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Product F(RED):
The OG is faster. It has the Mali-400 GPU, which is a hell of a lot more powerful than whatever the Snapdragon's packing. This is coming from someone with a GSII and who also had an Evo 3D for a while. Even if you overclock the 3D's CPU to 1.5 GHz from 1.2, it doesn't hold a candle to the GSII. It's immediately noticeable not only when playing games, but also when processing things. You won't notice it while going through the app drawer, like the guy said, but when you actually DO things, you'll notice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red5:
Obviously Skyrocket fans are going to love their skyrockets and say its better. OG (i777) SGII owners will say they love their phone and its better (because it is :D )

My thoughts: If you own a i777 and want to trade it in for the Skyrocket, then try it... because if you are even thinking about it, you obviously arent a dev nor do you really use your phone and all its features to the fullest so you probably wont notice any differences under the hood. Whats probably pulling you away is the bigger screen and the white finish. Go ahead and go, go trade it in for the Skyrocket.

One less thread started to ask "why is my battery draining so fast?".
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Product F(RED):
The solution to that would be to go to Sprint and get the Epic 4G Touch, which is basically an i777 with a 4.5 inch screen and also available in white :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nucleartx:
I wouldn't touch a LTE device right now. I would wait until VoLTE comes included and when they put LTE band support in AWS(1700/2100), PCS(1900) and Cellular(850) bands. In 1 year when 700mhz is saturated, you will have to deal with slower speeds due to At&t's constrained spectrum in that particular band. These above mentioned features will supposedly be supported towards the end of the year or early next year.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
WRONG. CPU is only a small part of the portability equation. All of the other peripherals on the device make a difference too. This is why, for example, you'll never see HTC firmwares running on the SR or T989 despite having the same CPU as many HTCs.

Basically, the Skyrocket has a unique hardware configuration that has NOTHING in common with any other device beyond the T-Mobile T989. It only has the CPU in common with other Qualcomm Snapdragon-based phones, and nothing in common with Exynos-based devices.

As an example of what happens when a device has the same CPU but different peripheral hardware - look at the state of the Infuse. It has the same CPU as the Nexus S and original Galaxy S series (other than a small speed bump to 1.2 GHz), but significantly different peripherals, which means it has major trouble leveraging development for other devices with the same CPU.

Also look at the state of development on Infuse - they have almost nothing beyond Hellraised I9000/Captivate ROMs, which they at least have due to that 70% or so hardware commonality with the I9k/Cappy. Note how many of their developers (including myself) got frustrated with the device and gave it up, even with this relatively high commonality. (That remaining 30% was a major pain in the ass... Including a ****ty Bluetooth chipset not used by any other phone on the planet I knew of.) The Skyrocket can, at best, "Hellraise" from the T-Mobile T989 community and that's most likely all it will ever be able to pull from.

Basically, Skyrocket is Infuse v2 - It takes everything that was bad development-wise about the Infuse and makes it even worse.

Anyone know of a way to get a data only plan through AT&T? It's ridiculous that they can't offer this. I want to pay for their service, let me pay! lol..sorry I'm pissed at this point..Anyone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jack man:
I'm assuming you mean a data plan without phone service? As far as I know they only offer "data only" plans with things like the ipad. After thinking about it, I'm curious - what type of sim does an ipad use (if any)? If an ipad had a data sim card could it be taken from that and put into a phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jamesd86:
they use the microsims...and they need to be activated with an ipad..they have other 3g tablets that use regular sim cards though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] link12245:
No.

/end
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AntwanL:
I don't see how that is in any way ridiculous. They primarily sell mobile phone service and you can add mobile date to your phone line. Not ridiculous in my opinion.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jamesd86:
They will sell data only to a device that is less than 3" bigger? How is it not ridiculous?

I guess I'll be trolling craigslist for frigging 3G tablet that does bluetooth well.. It'd be easier if the hotspot they sell had a 3gb option like the tablet plans.

/rants.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AntwanL:
Doesn't a tablet with data-only have to be linked to a phone plan though? You can't just buy a tablet and pay for a data plan, can you?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jamesd86:
Sure seemed that way to me...they offer 30/month for no commitment 3gb tablet plans..don't say anything about having to be a voice subscriber.

Is there any app that you can call over 4g or wifi so it doesn't use plan minutes cause we only have 750 a month and my parents weren't happy with me cause I used like 350 of them talking to my girlfriend. Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Click here
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cmhjr:
If you add wifi calling to you plan you can uses the wifi app that comes with the stock roms and it will not use plan minutes. You have to make sure it is added our it will use plan minutes.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] falcons2:
I've thought about that but I'm not gonna want to pay anything extra. That's why I'm looking for an app

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jcrip:
Instead of messing with all those settings you might want to look into an app called 'auto ap', it is in the market. What it does is when your phone connects to wifi it will automatically put it in airplane mode & start groove ip. That way groove ip won't fight with the native phone app to answer incoming calls. Works great & makes it easier for you to keep track of your mobile minutes.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] Bfitz26:
in the proccess in flashing the ics rom and just ran the exploit and got rooted and i navigated to safe system menu and i toggled safe menu and it says data.img not found sskipping restore of /data safesystem is no enabled does this mean it did not back up my previous file i want to flash this but i am curious on what this exactly means please help!!!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Bfitz26:
Someone please help! !! Just sitting in recovery waiting to find out what I should do
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
What does it ask you to do next?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
When you toggled to safe mode, which.toggle option did you select? One will back you up and the other one won't I don't believe.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Bfitz26:
I just did toggle safe system after done it says safe system is now enabled I would flash ics I think just want to reboot but just making sure I didn't screw anything up while in recovery
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Bfitz26:
I didn't flash any roms just rooted running the exploit and then enabled toggle safe system so I should probably just reboot and be fine but I just want to make sure
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
Once you toggle to safe, then you flash ics. Even if it didn't back up your original system, the worst that should happen when going back to your normal system is that it will take you back to a fresh install and you will need to set your accounts back up and reinstall your apps
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
If you don't flash ics (or any rom) when your in safe mode and reboot your phone, it won't load because there isn't a version of android there.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Bfitz26:
Sweet give it a try thanks man ill report back in a minute
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Bfitz26:
flashed ics and it gave me bad/installation aborted going to try and transfer on sd card with my wifes phone with a fresh download see if that works and it should go onto external correct???
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
I believe I have mine in internal. I think you can install it from either location.

You may want to clear the cache and stystem data before flashing if you didn't. Sometimes that helps.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Bfitz26:
at this point i am worried about my battery dying on me and i am just sol... :(
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Bfitz26:
ok looks like was just a bad md5 or something so when i flash google apps do i wipe anything prior to flashing that???
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Bfitz26:
cool got it up just setting up but i have to say this rooting proccess was so much more work than i made it out to be but can't hurt to be too careful i guess

[TouchPad Development] rochford77:
I'm on cm9 alpha 0.6 with stock kernel @1.5 installed with clockworkmod 5.x with a webOS 3.0.5 dual boot. My home router is open (but I use MAC Address blocking to keep the creeps out). My wifi is about 80% on point but will go out about every 24 hours and I have to forget the network, wifi off, power down. Power back up, wifi back on re connect and good for another 24 hours. I noticed if my device "reboots" instead of turning all the way off my wifi WILL NOT connect. How are people doing on cherrykang? Any better?
[TouchPad Development] bobtidey:
My experience so far with 0.2a of Cherry has been 60 hours of operation without a wifi issue. This includes about 6 hours on a work network where before the wifi fix in Cherry about the only way I could gt a connection was by moving very close to the access point and it would drop out within 5 minutes of moving away. During that 6 hours with Cherry it found the connection straight away, maintained it all the time and even reconnected automatically when I tried a reboot. I'll report further on this when I have had more time on the work network this week.
[TouchPad Development] bobtidey:
Which forum are you suggesting this should be in?

I know this is development but this thread was an attempt to pull out all the wifi related questions which are already being posted in the various development threads here. I thought that development was more appropriate as the main intention is to help and encourage the development of wifi to the point where the need for wifi support becomes much less.
[TouchPad Development] elfie:
Clearing /data/misc/wifi and rebooting makes my touchpad connect to the router without any hesitation, I guess it is similar to forgetting and rebooting(but haven't tried that)

ROM: 0.2a Kang
[TouchPad Development] calash:
ClassicNerd 0.0.4

My home network is a Netgear N600 dual band router with WPA2 security as well as a guest SSID. i connect to the 5G band with no issues with the exception of when I have to reboot. On rebooting if I connect to an access point I have to keep the screen alive for around 10 minutes. After that everything is fine, otherwise the system reboots when the screen goes off.

My work network is an overlapping pervasive network using PEAP authentication. On reboot if I do not shut down with WiFi off my settings get into a state where it refuses to connect, or even try. Forgetting the network and then entering the information again fixes the issue. I also get the sleep reboot if I don't leave the tablet on for a bit of time problem here.

I never have any disconnects that are tablet related on ether network.
[TouchPad Development] guho:
Kang 0.4.8a truly rocks and addresses wifi as I can now connect even when channel is 11!
[TouchPad Development] bobtidey:
Thanks for that. I had been holding off switching to 0.4 based on the kernel issue comments but it looks like 0.4.8a is good to go so I'll try that.

I note with sympathy the response you got from your comment in the other thread. Some guys can get very territorial even though all these ROMS are largely based on same open source and rely heavily on the work of some central devs .
[TouchPad Development] bobtidey:
Here is my feedback from 1st full day using CherryKang 0.4.8a in my work environment.

Bottom line is that the wifi fix is giving me a big improvement over previous builds but I don't think is totally problem free.

At the start of the day it found and connected automatically.

Over a 10 hour period it dropped the connection twice after staying connected about 4 hours each time. It didn't reconnect automatically after a drop but required the wifi control to be turned off and then on again to perform the reconnect which it did very rapidly.

This is still a dramatic improvement over before where I struggled to get a connection at all and it would always drop in less than 5 minutes.

To get a better handle on comparative performance I plan to run it under WebOS tomorrow just to get a baseline on how the native tablet performs under the local conditions. I had previously tried out WebOS here and it was stable over the hour or two I had it on but I've never tried it for a full day.

Having said that I also have an ICS Nook Color here which is absolutely rock solid on this access point and has never dropped the connection over several weeks of use so I know its not a fundamental access point issue.
[TouchPad Development] mike-y:
I was always told that the dev section is for software that you create - ROMs, kernels, tweaks, etc. It's usually something that you need to flash on your device that affects performance or functionality in some way (themes and visual mods are not included however).

Any sort of "Discussion" or any troubleshooting is usually in General or Q&A, since it can usually span across different roms, and/or software settings. No offence to you, as it is sometimes confusing to people exactly what belongs in the dev section. Usually, if it's not something you are flashing on the device, it goes in another section.

That said, I'm running ClassicNerd Butta v1, and have no issues connecting to my 2.4ghz channel on my router, but it won't connect to the 5ghz channel for some reason.

I have a netgear wndr3700 N600 router with dd-wrt firmware flashed on it.

Edit: changed "wireless networking mode" on the 5g channel from "N only" to "Mixed", and I'm now able to connect.
[TouchPad Development] Chinpokomon:
Since I just had some pretty bad Wi-Fi issues, I guess I should share what I found and how I fixed it.

I've been using my TouchPad very reliably on my home and work networks. I don't know what channel either are on, but at home I'm pretty sure I've been on an 802.11n access point (5 GHz channel). The router at home is a Netgear WNDR3700 v.1, but after problems with the firmware dropping countless other devices, I installed the dd-wrt firmware and configured it to only be an access point, and I'm relying on another router upstream to provide my DHCP and private network. This configuration has been rock solid for a couple months now, and I've never had to reset the access point since! After I installed CM9 alpha 0.6, I've had maybe 3 or 4 times where I've lost network connectivity on my TouchPad, but other devices continued to work; clearly a problem with the TouchPad in those cases since simply rebooting the TouchPad restores connectivity. I do not stop Wi-Fi before rebooting. This is a reliability I can live with since outages have been quite infrequent and easily fixed.

Currently I'm traveling, and I needed to setup a temporary wireless network. To do so, I used Connectify on an older Windows 7 laptop, and I'm using the Wi-Fi board built into the laptop to share the wired connection I've plugged into it. The wireless board is a Broadcom 802.11g with a BCM43XX chip set. When using Connectify, the wireless board runs on channel 11, with no way to configure it that I can find.

After ~48 hours uptime, I tried to use my TouchPad today and found Wi-Fi was not working. Using "Wifi Analyzer" from the market, I observed the TouchPad could "see" a few different access points, but it was unable to connect to any of them, while I was still able to measure things such as signal strength. Forgetting the network connection and reentering the WPA2 key did not work. Connectify showed that my Nexus S running Android 4.0.3 was still connected, but my TouchPad was "Disconnected." Rebooting the device did not restore Wi-Fi. Shuting down my laptop and rebooting did not restore Wi-Fi, although I observed my Nexus S reconnecting. I then rebooted the TouchPad into WebOS, where I could connect again, but booting back into CM9, I could not reconnect. I then turned Wi-Fi off, and rebooted. After turning Wi-Fi back on, I could see the access points again, but still couldn't connect.

What seemed to finally unstick things was turning Wi-Fi off, setting Airplane Mode on, turning Wi-Fi back on, and when I observed that turning Wi-Fi on was not automatically turning Airplane Mode off, I manually toggled it myself. Almost immediately, Wi-Fi connected.

I believe in my case, toggling Airplane Mode in the future may be a simple fix, but I only have the one data point to go by so far.
