No thought required. Skyrocket for that price is amazing, get it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mousavinia:
Yeah I had to jump on it. There was no way, I completed the purchase before you even posted. HERE I COME, LTE! (except it's probably not available yet in my market)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] espina936:
I did the same switch on Monday. Traded in my Captivate to a Refurb Skyrocket. WOW is this thing fast. My area has LTE so it flies. I find it funny that i paid more for the phone case than i did for the phone. (bought a Seidio Active case).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] breeze1000rr:
Believe it or not a week ago they were $9.99. I wanted the SGS2, but I jumped all over the skyrocket at that price. No LTE here yet but still... Mine'll be here in the morning. Haven't bought a case yet, how's the hinge on the seidio active case,,, looks a lil flimsey in the videos I've seen.

Where are all these refurbs coming from? XDA members? :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] breeze1000rr:
lol... prob! Just looked I dont see them listed on the website anymore, I guess they went fast.

I got my Skyrocket yesterday. So far I love it. I planned on leaving it stock for a while, but there was so much (IMO) crap on it, I rooted and removed a bunch of the AT&T and Samsung crud. So I am stock, but rooted. Also installed Launcherpro.

This has the fastest locking GPS I have ever seen on a phone. I can get a lock in 6 seconds in my basement. No other phone I have owned would get a lock downstairs. This is with the GPS only.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shaggyskunk:
Well your basement obviously has a clear line of sight to the satellites.?

I bought mine for 200 when it came out in November and it was worth it at that price! If you can buy it cheaper, do it!

I bought mine in November too, but it was only $149.99. Went up $50.00 shortly after. I lucked out.

Hey everybody that ordered a refurb skyrocket make sure to check your invoice. Like I said I ordered mine at $9.99, they went up to $19.99 two days later. FINALY recieved my phone over the weekend along with a $49.99 invoice. No big deal I called and got it taken care of. I was charged $54.24 instead of $10.84, but I got the difference credited to my account so problem solved. Just a heads up to everybody.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shaggyskunk:
How does the GPS see the satellites? Are you sure it's not using sensors to get a fix on your location?

I can get locked in to 8 satellites in my basement with this phone. Couldn't get a single satellite with my i9000 in the same spot. It has pinpointed me to my exact location.

I don't know how, but I never check the "Use wireless networks" box in the location settings. I also did not have the "Use sensor aiding" box checked.

Looks like I can add SGSII skyrocket to my favorites on XDA, Next to the Atrix and Inspire and Kindle Fire.

Just picked up 2 White skyrocket refurbs for 20 a pop.

Hey easy trick here in case you dont know. Its cheaper to have a family plan and have a line you dont use, and keep it for a extra upgrade. We have a dead line we pay 10 bucks a month for, yet we dont pay for insurance, so if one of us breaks our phone we have am upgrade lurking in the shadows at all times. Nov 9 is my next available upgrade on my dead line, S3 for sure.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] iandr0idos:
Lol, I think what he means us that he went from iPhone to gsii to skyrocket :P

Mine locks in about 4 seconds in my room (which is in the basement) with only gps on (no data or wifi) and it is perfectly accurate to which room im in...

i havent installed the aGPS patch because i dont feel the need for it.

I couldnt even believe it at first.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bigbelly72:
Question: Doesn't ATT make you add a data plan when you upgrade to a smartphone? Do you then just move the phone numbers around? How does it work?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shoobiedoobiiwhompwop:
family plan is shared you share airtime and data and everything . 2 phones one plan two numbers ..

basically if you don't use the line you are paying $10 / month 2 years for a phone worth considerably more than $240 and to have a fairly awesome backup phone or gift or sell it and make a few hundred typically or whatever you wanna do with it

:p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tomtommy306:
We aren't allowed to share data on my family plan.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shoobiedoobiiwhompwop:
I'm honestly not sure it does that's what the rep said when she offered it to me I just haven't accepted as of yet . Anticipating the new phones this year and don't want to mess that up - being able to add a line at a discounted price I mean ..

hey I can't believe that you let the bug out that ate part of my sig's S shadow . EEK!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] quikt:
i think the question is, how are you going about getting this dead line for $10 a month?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tomtommy306:
HAHaha sorry about the shadow. Just noticed it against the white background.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Dirtburgler:
My Girlfriend and I have a third line we dont use, on our family plan, but still pay $10 to keep the line active. I keep the sim in a old blackberry I had lyin around. My brother managed to keep his unlimited data plan coming from an iPhone 4 to an Atrix 4g using our mothers upgrade on their family plan. A call to customer service is all it takes. I stagger the upgrades so we have an upgrade ready every year, I currently own an Atrix 4g and she has an Inspire 4g. Saw the 19.99 price, 2 Please, lol. The rest of the process isnt hard to figure out once you call customer service.

edit: Guess I should add that this is not a scam,loophole, or anything of the sort.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CZ Eddie:
Same here, I just added a second line (bought a used Infuse) and was told I had to purchase a separate data plan for the second phone.

Could be because I have unlimited data on my primary, or it could be the general policy. I don't know.

$10/month is $120 a year to have that upgrade option available. Plus the $200-$300 for the phone upgrade itself. So $320-$420/annual.

May or may not be worth it to some folks.

Certainly interesting though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jnicks510:
This is something i thought of doing as well. I might pull the trigger if the s3 Eva up being what the rumors say it gonna be. The one question i have though is why do people have back up phones? Is it that necessary? I always sold my old phones on craigslist to pay for the upgrade.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ian1:
Actually no carrier has shared data yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] marvin02:
Data is not shared between phones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shoobiedoobiiwhompwop:
I was just talking about adding a line under family plan and choosing the refurb ..

you're paying $10 a month 24 months and the phone is $20
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bigbelly72:
So do you ask to upgrade the phone on the primary line by using the upgrade from the extra line?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jnicks510:
Yarr. My girlfriend and i trade upgrades all the time. We are on the same family plan of course.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bigbelly72:
I called ATT and verified. It's called a Cross Upgrade and works within a family plan. Thanks!!! I have had a extra line for my parents emergency line for years and never used the upgrade.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] JasontheKep:
I was wondering the same thing, but that didn't stop me from buying one. I was thinking "Wait, did it suck so bad, everyone was returning it?" I am glad I got it, very satisfied with my phone. The only phone I have found that I like as well as the Epic 4G touch.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Dirtburgler:
I did some research and found put that here was a screen saturation issue or colors were off. Something along those lines. Thee refurbs never made it out of the facility. I got 2 and both were flawless, insurance replacements etc are when you get the used refurbs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Dirtburgler:
If you already have 2 active lines and a 3rd unused line it is 120 a year for the line. But its way cheaper than paying 16 to 18 bucks a month for insurance on 2 phones when I can spend 10 for an unused line and always have an upgrade ready. Cheaper than insurance and the deductable. So it really only benefits 3 line family plans.

In Wireless settings / mobile settings unclick Use Packet Data
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Benzoman:
Edit:

The above post seems to make more sense than my suggestion below.

You could just install a custom ROM that doesn't support 3g. Like Task 14. I've seen people use it and it work fine, just losing 3g. But I wouldn't expect much, if any support running it on a 3g device and it being it's a WI-FI ONLY ROM. ;)

Edit: no idea for sure if this would definitely solve the battery problem though either.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] RealDealSaar:
Or you could simply enable flight mode, which deactivates the 3g and wifi. After the tab goes in flight mode, reenable wifi only. This works for me, i use it in areas where 3g reception is bad to save battery :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] atb222:
Yes this works with me too
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] clarkdb09:
wow thanks guys I will try
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bingoking:
The last few days I have been running Tasker with a script that enables flight mode whenever its locked and disables i whenever its unlocked. My batterylife has quadrupled that way, not exactly sure why. I dont need mail sync etc, so this was a good solution for me.

It's even really handy, when you enter pin and enter flight mode, to simply use power button menu to quickly start 3G :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daerragh:
Hi, I've had a misfortunate experience this morning: my Desire fell down and now the touchscreen is unresponsive although the AMOLED screen is still intact. The front layer of Gorilla glass screen is also intact, so only the second layer along with the digitizer layer broke.

Anyway, I teared it all apart and now I'm looking to buy a new digitizer. Here's a photo of a chip of my original digitizer:

And here's the photo of a digitizer I plan to buy:

Please help me decide if the digitizer I want to buy will suite my AMOLED Desire.

As you can see the main difference is that the original digitizer has "E6" written in the white squre while the new digitizer has "E4" written in the place. Is it already too much of a difference for it to suite my phone?

Best regards
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erklat:
Afaik you can change digitizer as you want. It is the screen that can't be changed - you can't put amoled screen in slcd device and vice versa.

BUT, when compared to the design of my X10 it is erm, Ug, well not very pretty, with shut lines everywhere and just 'clunky'.

However, where else to go?

IF my X10 did not have the infuriating drop out when listening to music via bluetooth and a better in call volume I would not bother...............BUT it has and so a change is required. Just don't know where to go now.

[XPERIA X10 General] jeremyshaw:
Okay, seriously? There are several aspects of the Xperia S that are substandard, namely the SoC already being old, the screen being (undoubtly) the same from the HTC Rezound (which has some black crush), and the weight being unbalanced. Not only that, it's launching off of the old Android 2.3 platform, while there are already phones launching off of 4.0.x ICS.

The Xperia S is a bit late, for basically being a slimmer Rezound with more onboard memory.

I'm still getting it (since I don't like the Xperia ION), mainly because I like Sony products.
[XPERIA X10 General] dumakos:
The S is very fast even with ginger.So think how fast it would be with ICS.About the HTC or the SG3 i don't think that the quad procceror it's so necessery at the moment.Maybe next year.The S is the only choise.

Bad choice bro

I dont know how big can the difference affect us, dual core 1.5ghz seem good enough both for android 4.0 and any other task(including most games) that smartphones do withouth lag or hindrances, gpu is great too

Sony cheaped out on the specs on the phone cause they know they dont actually NEED more than that(for this year at least)
[XPERIA X10 General] dumakos:

No offence taken, im not saying we dont need more power, more can always be better, im just saying that theres no rush to get the best of the best if its power cannot be exploided fully

Taking a dual core phone like the xperia S or a Quad core Htc Zeta(example) the zeta will of course perform better than the XS by miles but The XS having a lot less power, still performs all its needed tasks very eficiently so the advantage of the zeta its not that noticeable

U won't even get half price after 1 month of purchase

Where my sgs2 I bought in 28k(30k in market) can be sold for 25k easily...

And ics have multicore support so not only dual core...

That's what i m saying

U should be future proof!

And its not only that it does all daily jobs

Which one u will get then?
[XPERIA X10 General] kylec:
I may get the XS. I figure since I don't play games on phones, I'm more interested in something that can handle my customising, internet, and camera needs. Plus I think it looks quite good compared to some of the other phones out there. For me, if the dual core is fast enough to prevent any lag with my needs, I will be more than happy.

But it will all depend on the battery life reviews

Anyone here would rather wait for the xperia sola? I think the design looks better than the XS (He's also gorgeous).

While I do agree with you that a quad-core phone is overkill for the time being. But if somebody can afford it then getting it is future proofing yourself for a good 2 years if not 3.
