[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Blairware:
Samsung, in certain areas such as display technology, and their Exnyos Quad Core Processors is unsurpassed. They are not "Perfect" but have as much of a claim to "Best Mobile Phone Available" as HTC does with the One X. Each have their strengths, but I see Samsung as a better device overall, a really close call, and a tough choice since I am, and have been an HTC fanbboy all the way back to HD2, a game changing device, as the first 4.3" large screen device in the US, and one of the 1st Gig Processor's (THE first in a Windows Phone. A device so awesome, I switched carriers to get it.

But yeah, Samsung should team up with an Audio brand like HTC did with Beats, and a get a bit more high end material into their designs (read aluminum, ceramic, etc.) would really sweeten what's obviously top gear gear, LOL! I now have to make a choice between the SGIII or the Galaxy Note, two amazing devices, OR... waiting on Galaxy Note II. Sigh, such a tough situ to be in, LOL. As long as I am daydreaming, can I wish that somehow Samsung (or ANY SOC manufacturer) licks the LTE on Quad Core incompatibility? I need to do more reading to understand why this is so, I mean that the current crop being incompatible with LTE is what it is, but the fact no one is touting a new, compatible quad core/LTE is what I need to understand better, but whatever the reason, it is seriously messing with my mobile nirvana. But for that, the SGSIII might be our next President; it sure would have capabilities beyond the current candidates, that much is obvious. Sigh.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] UZ7:
I have an S3 right next to me and its blazing fast, display looks really nice and overall better to have it in person rather than just looking at pics. The audio on this thing is really loud when put on max and the display @720p watching videos is pretty nice as well.

What kinda sux is the box is "black" but the pebble blue model comes with white earbuds, slightly modified one than the skyrocket's, thought it would come with black ones :P , the white model actually looks nice too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] BaconStep:
What kind of finish does it have? Glossy?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] UZ7:
lol sorry for my bad pic skills, running on the new leak so didnt change the settings
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dxwilliams40:
I love my skyrocket as well. My upgrade wont happen until May of next year, so I will see what samsung has available at that time. Depending period on the release of the G Note 2 which is what I am leaning towards. Also waiting on the confirmation of the nexus models coming out later this year.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] UZ7:
Yeah theres really no big reason to get the S3 as the Skyrocket is still a fully capable phone +/- features that we probably won't use a lot yet and knowing Samsung they'll pump out new revisions by the end of the year. Also waiting on that new Nexus model, want to see whats new with Jellybean :D

My bro and his gf both got S3s last night as their upgrade contract ended, they were both iphone4 converts and they both really like the new phone, mainly because of how big the screen is and the quality of the phone overall, it doesnt feel as expensive as the iphones but they sure beat it in everything else :cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] UZ7:
Might not be the best comparison pic but this is:

Skyrocket vs Iphone4 vs S3

No doubt the iphone will have the most neutral color (IPS). The blacks on S3 is pretty crazy. When we compared whites Skyrocket vs S3, the Skyrocket seemed to have a more "cool" temperature while the S3 was closer to neutral.

Wifi Analyzer, this is AOKP (Skyrocket) vs Stock ICS (S3) so not sure if there are any custom settings thats causing the lighter black.

Another comparison pic of the colors.

Again both are pretty good with colors in comparison but remember the S3 has a higher pixel density as well as a 720p display and... I don't really have a DSLR to get accurate shots so it can be a little bias, just a rough comparison. But you just have to see it in person if you want to see real comparison.

:D

Samsung will have another flag ship phone by September.if we try and keep up we would go broke.within 4 months last year they released infuse galaxy s2 and then the skyrocket...thanks Samsung
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] UZ7:
I hear Korea's S3 will have quad core + LTE + 2gb ram :eek:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ossito2012:
lol, so true
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jnicks510:
True, but it's not like the consumers (us) are really complaining. Those of us that can afford it, change our phones like crazy. The frequent releases of new Android phones, and better technology in them, also converts more iPhone users :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jaythaovadose:
Yes international versions have quad Att doesn't because if the lte chip.honestly I highly doubt that we would actually feel the difference because this skyrocket is super smooth and I'll trade two cores for the lte speed any day IMO
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] UZ7:
I would trade LTE speeds for more ram :D

Most phone apps barely even use more than one thread yet alone 2, quad core would just be overkill. But I do like the S4 chip, its power efficient, fast and runs cool. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jaythaovadose:
Those of us less fortunate than others can't afford a new phone every few months so we have to wait until we can get 2 year upgrades enjoy you're 4.8 inch galaxy s2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jaythaovadose:
You have a point but that lte on the go is awesome but only if you live in a lte area.I'm in the SF bay area and I get lte everywhere
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] UZ7:
Yeah, my area doesn't even have LTE so its kinda useless right now, some areas though have them but I'm also limited with the data plan as I was late in getting one so I have to pay new prices. My bro is paying the same as I am and he gets 2GB data while I get 300mb :( I'll try to see if they can change me to the old 2GB but paying this much for 300mb is a rip. Yes I'm still a poor college student and I will be eating ramen all this year :silly: . Some people are crazy enough to go with the International version (buy it) and get the $10 data plan (ATT might catch on to this).

And yeah there really isnt any big reason to upgrade as the Skyrocket is a fast phone. The more phones they dish out the better your next one will be :good: For example with computers I went from an i7 1st gen to an i5 2nd gen. 2nd gen run faster per clock, less heat, more power efficient and can OC higher.

3 different versions of the S3 on first release is just silly.

International: Quad Core + Non-LTE + 1GB RAM

US/Canada: Dual Core + LTE + 2GB RAM

Korea's special edition: Quad Core + LTE + 2GB RAM

But overall I prefer the S4 Snapdragon 28nm over the Exynos 32nm. The 2GB of ram helps a lot especially with multitasking and loading videos. Even with the stock ICS it loads about 1.1~gigs of the 1.6gb available which means the phone doesnt always have to stress on clearing the ram as fast as the 1GB versions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jaythaovadose:
Ya all of that lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jedah:
Since you don't have LTE, have you considered T-Mobile? If you're willing to wait and buy a phone outright after it's been out for awhile, you can usually find a good deal (or just get a G-Nex from the play store). From there, their value plans are pretty cheap... even better if you can get in on a family plan. Here in west LA, T-Mo's HSPA+ speeds are actually on par w/ AT&T's LTE.

I'm thinking of waiting for my ETF to get low enough, and then bail for T-Mo (unless ATT improves their speeds and coverage in LA and/or SF). Right now, my family plan is 500 min (total) anytime minutes and 2GB for $55/person. On T-Mo, 1000 min and 2GB = $35/person. That's a $480 saving over two years! The wildcard is how cheap you can get your phone for.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] UZ7:
Yeah for where I live right now ATT has good signal but if I were to move then I would probably consider another carrier, when I was living in Gainesville, FL the signal for ATT wasnt that great so most people went for T-mobile, some areas have worse signal. All my cousins are on Sprint and whenever I call them with my cellphone/house phone it takes like 4-5 rings = 1 ring for them so most of the time I pick carriers based on the area :D After I graduate (in a year? ) I'll probably switch over to another carrier or if I decide to move to another state I'll consider it. :good:

For now I guess I'm okay with wifi since I'm around school/home/public wifi a lot I don't have to worry as much on the data usage. Still going to try to go to the ATT store to see if they can give me the 2GB plan that my bro pays for +$18 while I'm on the 300mb and I pay +$25 :eek: hope they'll be lenient since we've been customers since Cingular days.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] iceman4357:
I am mixed on the S3 honestly. I know that it is a better phone than my Skyrocket, but I am sure the Quad core phones will be out later this year. I keep telling myself to wait, but then again I do not game on my phone at all so will the quad core really make that big a difference? I can only imagine that there will be a lot of great ROMs for the GS3 as well. I have yet to play with a GS3 yet, so I am sure that will help my decision.

Hello,

I just bought a new mobile 2 days ago: Samsung Galaxy S3 (International version GT-I9300)

I usually use an Ad-hoc connection network to browse internet from mobiles or another wireless device.

Now, with the new samsung device, i am unable to setup a static ip address to the mobile phone. Can someone please help me?

Note:

I already went through settings --> About Device --> Status --> IP Address marked as unavailable.

And

Settings --> Wi-Fi --> Advanced --> IP address Unavailable

I read on google, we should have had "enable IP address" and i cant seem to find it.

Other useful information: Android version: 4.04

Kernel version: 3.0.15

Thanks for helping in advance.

Kind regards

Takeur

Long press on your connected network and modify. You can only set static ip addresses individually for each network.

Hello,

I would like to know how to setup the ip of my phone?

The solution u gave works to setup the network of my adhoc.

My IP setting remains greyed out.

Let me be more specific:

My adhoc network ip address: 192.168.1.1 /24

i would like to setup my phone ip to 192.168.1.30 /24 in order to allow connection. How to do it?

Kind regards

Takeur
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Like we both said, once the network is connected, in the list of wireless networks, long press the network and select "Modify".

You cannot set a static IP where you are looking. This would affect all wireless networks and also your carrier network. You would NOT want to be able to do that
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] undertakeur:
The problem: the network never gets connected, as it needs a static IP first.

I understand the long press/ modify network. Even if i do it and configure the AP's IP, i cant setup the IP of my phone still.

Anybody who have the same phone as me, has he had more success please?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
You don't need to actually connect. Scan so you can see it in the network list. Try to connect. As soon as you try to connect, even if it fails, you can then long press the network and modify it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] undertakeur:
I just set the ip as follow: 192.168.1.30

The gateway is set to 192.168.1.1

Still there is no connection possible.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Cant help there.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tolisHD:
Same problem here! Anyone found a solution?

I set the password, I enable Show advanced options, I set the static ip, gateway and DNS BUT the "connect" button(if I make my first connection) or the "save" button(if I chose modify) are greyed out on both cases!

does anyone know why?

p.s. I have done this with success in my Galaxy S2 with ICS!

---------- Post added at 12:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 PM ----------

I just found a solution!

I installed this app WiFi Manager found my wifi throught this app, setup the static IP, mask, gate, dns, saved and I was connected! then went to the android wifi menu, saw that this info was also saved there, so I uninstalled WiFiManager and now everything is OK! :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] undertakeur:
Hello,

did u root ur device?

I installed that app too and configured the ip address for wlan card.

But when i checked with this application: "Display Wifi IP", it says that the ip is not configured.

Can u please post screenshots how u managed it?

Thanks in advance.

Takeur
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tolisHD:
No, my phone is not rooted.

these are some screen shots of what I did:

1.wifimanager-push and hold the wifi

2.wifimanager-select "assign IP address"

3.wifimanager-write the IP, mask, gateway, DNS

4.android wifi settings- saved(forever) and connected (even if you uninstall wifimanager)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] undertakeur:
i did it that way too, however when i use the software "display wifi ip", it remains 0.0.0.0

With wifi manager, i was able to configure my ip, but looks like it is a permission issue :(

Anybody's else who knows something more?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grunnsetning:
Try changing your network prefix length to 32/24/16 or 8.

I had everything filled in completely and correctly except I left the length to 24 and the connect button was staying grayed out.

Once I changed it to 32 from the default 24 the button lite up and I immediately connected.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] undertakeur:
Already did that my friend.

The mobile is not rooted and we cant set up ad hoc networking (or a static wifi ip)

Simply pathetic.

People r making petitions as far as i no. Thanks a lot guys for helping out.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] telesphorus:
I have this problem too. I had my home WiFi with Static IP configured on my S3 a couple of weeks ago. Then I come back from a vacation, just to realize S3 forgets the WPA2 key to my network. "No worries", I said to myself, and tapped it in again.

Then I set IP settings to Static IP, but the IP address/mask/gateway/both DNS fields are all greyed out! I can't enter anything. This is ridiculous! :eek:

EDIT: Forget it guys. I'm stupid. It wasn't greyed out, but it was displaying an input mask in a grey colour. Ugh. Everything's ok.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PrestigeA:
My WIFI Fix Note 2

Ok, So here was my scenario:

I was unable to connect to my work wifi with hidden SDID and Static IP. Everytime I went to put it in, it wouldn't connect and then my wifi would turn off.

I had to find the app called AT&T Smart Wi-Fi. I turned off the wifi via this app.

After I did that, I went back into my settings and turned on the wifi under the settings dialog and not with this Smart Wi-Fi app. Then it finally let me connect, I managed to goto advanced settings after I was connected added my static IP and was good to go :)

Good luck everyone!

Is anyone else finding it extremely difficult to get through the day without struggling to keep your SIII alive? I thought the battery life was supposed to be superior to its predecessors? I'm a first time Android user but I did not think I would have to lower my brightness all the way and constantly monitor my devices battery life.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinmemo:
do you have some dumbass apps draining your battery?

i found my culprit and it's Friendcaster without even turn the notification on

get Badass battery monitor to find it or just use the one in setting

I'm finding the battery life is great, and lasts a whole day with no problems

It really depends on what do on your phone.

Try posting a screenshot of your battery stats. Android has an inbuilt monitor with each app and its usage being displayed. Easy method to spot a drain.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddylee09:
I just downloaded that in addition to my other app but there doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary that seems to be killing my battery. Most of it is coming from my screen but I keep at it 25% brightness the whole time. Super odd

I usually get around 16 hours of standby and at least 4 hours or more of screen time.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnichols189:
You should try Watchdog Task Manager. It will be able to tell you if an app is running and using more processes than it should. Also I've never used badass battery stats, but better battery stats will tell you if anything is holding a wakelock. It is free for XDA members so you don't have to buy it on the market. Just search for it
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddylee09:
Where exactly would I find this inbuilt monitor?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elgordo2:

I see that you have poor signal reception

maybe that's why

last time I went underground, just 5 mins of standby it took away 10% of my battery

when it searches for signal it drains a lot

you could also try to disable auto search for network

go to setting>more settings > network operators and select it manually
