I miss the keyboard too. It was the one thing that made me choose a BlackBerry over an iPhone four years ago. I still hate the iPhone keyboard because of the lack of haptic feedback and the complete lack of customization options. Android is better though...with so many options for keyboards and setups, it almost makes up for not having physically keys...but I still miss them occasionally.

Honestly? Out of the box, the OneX works great. Even though the bootloader is currently locked, the phone works just fine the way it is and nothing really needs to be added to it. However, the OneX does have root and so you can install customs roms, just nor kernels or radios. Several tweaks, mods and roms have been created and flashes successfully.

On the flipside, the GSII is completely unlocked and there are several rom/kernel choices. There is some of the best Dev work done on XDA right here in this forum, so if your really interested in Dev support and choices, this is the phone to get.

Both phones are great. You just have to look at hardware specs, Dev support and see which road you want to take.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
A yes from me as well.

For future, up-coming device such sgs3, if it will be released next week or two, then it might worth waiting but in this case, just a rumor, no officially released date yet, it could be months from now and even if released, what happen if it gets locked bootloader? It's not worth waiting if you're ROM-flashaholics.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattdm:
Take a look through this thread. No locked bootloaders. I think the dev support on the S3 is going to be huge.

I picked up the SGSII a month ago and absolutely love it. A huge upgrade from the previous generation (captivate).

I suspect that, much like desktop computers, going from one to two cores is significant, but you get diminishing returns after that.

Only downside is if you want true 4G. I spend so much time with wifi that I don't care.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SysAdmNj:
I'm definitely taking the dev support road. Thanks.

One of my last concerns is battery life. More of it having to do with charging time. I think I remember with the stock Rom charging times were slow from a wall charger if I remember reading this. Have charging times improved with custom roms/kernels?

I think Samsung devices in general have a bad rep with charging times?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] garfunkel99:
I haven't seen any issues with charge times, but my expectations may be low. I have not timed it, but I would estimate under 3 hours to charge from less than 20%	to full.

I came from the Infuse and could not be any happier. This phone has so much support and so many different options for you to choose from. If you are due for an upgrade I would say wait for he S3 but who knows when that will be. So until then s2 all the way!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] lart2150:
I'm going to chime in here as well. I have a 727 and my wife has a 777. Both phones are GREAT. The 777 has more roms and is more like the international gs2 so there's more developers working on more or less the same phone. The 727 has about the same battery life and is a little larger. If you use data a lot I would say go with either the 727 or wait for the gs3 as it will likely be lte on att. If you don't care about latency or throughput then it's a flip of the coin. If you want to run custom roms 777 is likely a better choice, however the 727 almost has a mostly done CM9 rom but is still waiting on ics sources.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
I'm 99.9% happy with this phone. I wish AT&T (correct me if I'm wrong) would quit being a prick about google wallet licensing and let it work on this phone. I know I wouldn't use an FM radio very often but there are times I would like to use it. Just irritating that it was originally advertised as having it.

I waited almost 2 years for this phone. Not the i777 per se, but a solid dual core phone that would do everything I wanted. I thought the Atrix 4G was it, but when I passed that up all my friends said I was addicted to the next phone. That whatever was available I would be looking at the phone that was yet to be released.

I just knew what I wanted. And this phone was well worth the wait.

In my opinion the only game changer that can come now, is true hardware innovation. The iPhone 4s, the galaxy S3, and the HTC one X don't bring anything new to the table. Heck even the rumors of phones to come don't bring anything that isn't already here, just everything in a faster/different sized package.

Google glass, or whoever who can do augmented reality right, is the next big thing in my opinion. And that very well may be eyeware that runs off your phone.

If you can't stand your phone, I would buy a used sgs2 off Ebay. Test out the sgs3 whenever it comes out. If you're not blown away, you have a line you can upgrade when the next big thing does come out. If you do like it, the sgs2 would be the worlds best backup phone, or you could sell it for at last what you bought it for. Samsung phones have pretty good resell value.

How much different is the skyrocket? What is the average difference in benchmarks between the 2? If the skyrocket has similar dev support ,this would be a good choice as well?

I came from the Inspire as well when the AT&T S2 launched. This phone is great. With custom Tom's this phone will last beyond 12 hours. I'm running Tasks AOKP and this phone runs awesome and lasts.

I'd also throw my Yes into this ring.

Aside from MAYBE the Nexus, I see nothing else on the market right now (or on the horizon, for that matter) that I'm really desiring. I had fairly high hopes for the GS3 but the design/size kind of killed it for me. I might still give it a look, but I don't know.

And since I came from an iPhone 4 to the GS2, I'll likely be giving the next gen iPhone a look, but who knows what that'll be like.

I love the hardware/design of the GS2 and you cannot beat the dev options right now. If you can't find a good GB or ICS rom that you like for the GS2, your standards are WAY too high.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] movielover76:
Probably not

I love this phone and I got it for a steal, but unless you have a very tight budget like $200ish off contract I wouldn't go with it.

I'd either buy a GSM Galaxy Nexus or wait for the S3, I have a Rezound on Verizon as well and you can't believe the screen quality when you upgrade to 720p, I didn't think it would be a big improvement until I started using them every day.

Otherwise it's an awesome phone, just the screen res now feels very dated to me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ack154:
There's always the Note.... haha.

Like I mentioned, came from an iPhone 4 and a higher resolution screen is one thing I was really hoping with the iPhone 4S. It was the same. For me, the GS2 is just big enough. I don't need a 9" phone screen or something ridiculous. I'm actually pretty happy with the size I have now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bookem11:
I'd still recommend this phone even today. Still the best phone out there right now. Plus you have so many stable ROMs to choose from (I'm using AOKP right now).

Not sure if the Note is as customizable as the S2, but that one is an option if you want the larger size though. I wasn't too impressed with the S3 announcement.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Fusion777:
I love mine. I'm very curious about the s3 but frankly the s2 with a badass rom is hard to beat, and devs need time to create new roms for the s3. I was not loving the nexus either. Higher res but the s2 screen still looks better, plus it rubs me the wrong way that you HAVE to ROM a nexus just to get the latest software. Goes against everything the namesake stands for, I say. I say wait a week or two just to see if the s3 blows you away. Compared to an s2 probably not, but you'll know soon enough.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
At this point - the I777 is the last acceptable Android device AT&T sold.

If you want a decent device on AT&T, you need to either purchase an I777, an international unlocked device without contract subsidy, or an unsubsidized Galaxy Nexus from Google's Play store.

The I777's best feature is that it is almost identical to the international GT-I9100 - It requires about 4 kernel patches (which have been available for two months at this point) to run I9100 firmware just as well as the I9100 itself.

At this point my primary device is the international Note - and I don't feel too guilty about this because enough has been learned about what's different from the I9100 and what's not that there's very little I777-specific development that needs to (or even can be) done. About the only thing I could do for the I777 community that isn't applicable to both I9100 and N7000 is take another stab at Google Wallet support.

Well, I probably should do some updates to Hellraiser and my Touchwizz kernels... but being a CM maintainer (and Samsung's epicfailing with ICS Touchjizz) means that TW kernels don't get the love they used to because it's just pointless... And there are some people doing I9100 TW kernel work and all of that is easily applicable to I777.

The AT&T SGS3 is going to be a failure development-wise, as it's horrifically carrier-mangled just like the ****rocket and AT&T Note are.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Maybe for the Verizon GNex - but this is not true for the unlocked HSPA+ GNex from the Play Store.

Point taken. And along those lines, lack of google wallet support has been really disappointing with the vz gnex also. Along with the i777 and most phones. I tried to apktool gwallet but was beyond my current skills to fiddle with it.. Hoping iBotPeaches pulls a rabbit out of his hat ..

AOKP is NOT a purely Google-Based rom. As soon as googles source is modified it is no longer pure. Also AOKP gets alot of stuff from cm9
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattdm:
Fair enough; I stand corrected. I should have said AOKP and CM9 use pure Google as their starting point, rather than Samsung.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Im Blown SVT:
After 7 months and much experimentation with roms and apps,I'm still loving this phone and there is nothing else out there that I have got my eye on. Most of my friends have the skyrocket, and let me tell you, that is a really buggy phone. They constantly get force closes and have to pull their battery to get their devices to reset...definitely glad that I read some reviews about the i777's better processor and bought it. bottom line, I'd buy it again today.

just curious.

multitasking for what?

I currently use stock gb jw5, and use at the same time gps+navi, music player and phone calls or text, with some background utilities (tasker, avast) with no problems at all.

btw, what's the use of multitasking with a small screen?

you cannot have several apps running on foreground at the same time. sgs is not a tablet, go figure a pc.

can you pls specify what kind of multitasking and in which way it is better than gb?

After encountering bugs in a few ICS rom's, I ran back to the more stable GB custom rom's. I've also noticed that battery backup is better on the GB rom's.

I'm open to suggestions and also willing to try if anyone here can recommend stable ICS rom's to me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsw5700:
multitasking is the ability to run (or appear to run) more than 1 program at the same time, the SGS is generally restricted by memory meaning when you run a new app, another app has to stop in order to free up memory. ICS has more memory than GB (399mb) meaning more apps can run at the same time, meaning its better for multitasking. multitasking doesnt mean apps are running in the foreground. ICS also runs a lot faster and has more features. Take a nandroid backup and try it!

Sent using TCP/IP
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lcampori:
thanks, but

1- I know what multitasking is...

2- I tried quite any available flavour of ics.

my point is different. On my pc at work as a finance employee, I have lotus notes, bloomberg, matlab, 2 or more excel istances, and who knows what running at the same time. At home, as a photographer, I have the browser, photoshop, lightroom, music player and who knows what else running at the same time.

this is useful multitasking. Not multitasking for the sake of having something you can tell friends. Oh, my phone does multitasking! By saying it has more memory so it is better for multitasking means nothing, sorry I do not want to sound rude, but... better for what, I mean, in real user experience?

On my phone if I browse the web, I don't need to have a photoshop batch running at the same time. Or a time consuming routine under some statistical app. Well, I do not feel I NEED it. If you check out your friends' status in facebook, you're not texting a friend on your sms app.

So my question was: what do you really need multitasking for on your phone with a small screen? Me, I have navigation and music player up while I'm driving, and all services needed to have a phone and a messaging system. bluetooth to communicate with car audio system, data mobile for navigation, tasker to control the settings a bit... but this can be done smoothly and fast with gb, so... exactly in what ics multitasking is better than gb, I am not talking about specs, I talk about real use. did you experience any fc in gb that you do not get in ics? or what? Can you give me some examples where you can take advantage of multitasking in ics better than gb?

this could be a potentially good reason to try ics once again.

What kind of PRACTICAL advantage you have in ics vs gb regarding multitasking??

can you provide examples in your daily use?

can you provide any info about your actual improvement?

How many apps do you run at the same time? Why?

How many apps are you able to run smoother and faster at the same time compared to gb?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gcuchiha:
Gingerbread xxjw4 is better than any ics rom. Trust me I've used cm9 , aokp , weui, and slimics.

Only if your feeling bored and just wanna play a bit you can try out ics. Its nice and different. But don't expect same functionality and stability as gb rom especially xxjw4.

And if you like the touchwiz features like swipe to call etc.. you'll be disappointed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lcampori:
agree 100%

while stock gb (jw5 in my case) looks like it perfectly fits sgs, imho the same does not apply for ics, so far. The reason to me is straightforward, stock sgs roms are hardware specific since they also include closed source drivers, as far as I know.

but of course, you'd better try and decide by yourself, ics is free!

last time I tried cm9 - a couple of weeks ago - I got some random reboots, but maybe I messed up things, I do not know, and maybe newer nightlies or other ics roms are more stable.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] an.ONE:
Hi.

I'm on ICS333 1.1 for two days now. I tried nearly all the other ics roms, but this one is the best, in my opinion. everything works fine.

I can't tell you if its possible to use an external sd-card (within ICS) because i'm not using one. But the rom is fast and smooth. gps, wifi, hspa, cam etc. is working without issues.

The only thing to mention is, that when locking the phone, you got access to the notification bar if you got the std lockscreen on (swype to unlock). so i'm using patternlock.

backup your efs-folder ans try it out.

I tried unlocking the bootloader with SE Xperia Flasher but something went wrong.

I got to the point where it rebooted the phone, but when I got back in Windows my PC wont recognize my phone, I can't even charge it with a wall contact.

Is this possible to break thru the software? Because I sure didn't do anything to damage it physically.

Thanks for all your help
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stockis:

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeliumX10:
No, you cant brick your phone until bootloader is fully unlocked.

You can only get into "sof brick" state which is followed with red led blinking (three times after SE logo). I think this is that state, but, you didnt mentioned how is your device behaving now...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stockis:
Strange. I don't get any red LED blinking. My phone boots with a blue LED (Fastboot?) and then turns on normally, I can use WIFI and Bluetooth and that's all I've been able to try so far. Haven't had any chance to test if it works with phone calls since i have no sim card for it. If it is "soft bricked", is there any possibility to know it for sure?

Thanks for helping me out
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeliumX10:
If your phone boots up normally it means, thats not bricked :D

Dont know what blue led during bootup means, but didnt see it anytime on locked bootloader, so I expect that you were succesfull and have unlocked bootloader :) It probably is fastboot mode.

Remember that Windows recognize only devices in usb debugging on and with proper adb drivers installed.

Use Thanks button ;)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stockis:
Well, that's good news.

Haha might be, if I'm lucky. ANy idea how to check if it really is unlocked?

Strangest thing is that the phone is recognized by the PC now, a few days later, doing nothing. Just plugged it in and both charger and USB connection os recognised. Really didn¨t do anything at all to make it work :P

What do you give me if I use the thanks button? ;)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeliumX10:
Yes, try to flash any kernel for locked bootloader. If it will be successful, you are on unlocked bootloader :) If not, ant it will return error at the beginning of the flashing, you are still on locked bootloader.

Windows... Windows... Dont you know them ? :D :D :D

Sorry, nothing except help ;)

successfully rooted HCL ME U1 Tablet

This guide is successfully tested by me.

1. You need a 32 bit OS. (I have used 7 Pro x86).

2. Turn USB debugging ‘ON’ in settings of the tablet.

3. Download Superuser. Then extract the zip file to desktop :\ & you will see 2 folders as “System” and “Meta-INF”.

4. Download the drivers from here. Then connect the tablet & install the drivers using device manager.

5. Download SuperOneClick!. Extract the archive, go to the folder named ADB. Open an elevated command prompt there using this.

6. Continue with the following commands:

Code:

>adb root (you will see a message “adb is already running as a root”)

>adb devices (you should see your device number)

>adb shell (adb shell will run and daemon tool will also run) 7. Now restart the tablet & wait till the home screen appears. Now continue with the following commands:

Code:

>adb shell getprop ro.secure (output should be 0)

>adb shell mount -oremount,rw /dev/block/system /system

>adb push d:\system/bin/su /system/bin/

>adb push d:\system/bin/su /system/_install/bin/

>adb shell chmod 4777 /system/bin/su

>adb shell mount -oremount,ro /dev/block/system /system 8. Exit adb, disconnect the tab, restart it again.

9. Open the new Superuser app just once.

10. Download apks of BusyBox, Google Play & Titanium Backup (Google is your friend!!).

11. Install BusyBox first, then check the rooting status with Titanium Backup. After that, install Google Play.
