[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] UZ7:
Skyrocket and Xperia ion have the same CPU/GPU and has similar insides.

The Xperia has a slightly bigger screen but is also 1280x720 resolution (vs 800x480 on the Skyrocket)

The Xperia has a better camera 12mp (vs 8mp on the Skyrocket)

But the only con with the Xperia ion is the development community is not as big or at least not on XDA and I don't see them on the Cyanogenmod list so they may not be getting a lot of support in terms of custom ROMs (if you like to customize).

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1659

The phone was released around June time so it could get bigger overtime but that usually depends on how much people will go for that phone but in most cases its overshadowed by the Samsung S3.

If you can get an S3 as a choice it would be better because it has a larger community, its new and its Samsung's current flagship phone so they will have continued support for a while and hardwarewise it is superior to both the Skyrocket and Xperia as it has the newer S4 CPU (vs the S3 CPU) which is more faster and efficient so even if you dont tweak it you will have good battery life.

In terms of Xperia vs Skyrocket the Skyrocket has a larger community and our community is not as big as Galaxy S3 or Nexus but on the other hand the Xperia ion just came out a few months ago so there is a potential there but its not confirmed as most people looking for new phones usually go for the Galaxy S3. Another alternative that I think is good is the HTC One X but that all depends on if you like the looks and such but I think the One X is a good phone as well :).

Up coming phones to look out for (if costs doesnt matter)

LG Galaxy Nexus 4 (Nexus 2)

Galaxy Note 2 (big phone)

HTC One X+ (beast mode version of One X)

Lumia 920 (windows 8 phone)

Asus Padfone 2 (ability to mount on tablet)

Theres more but those are the ones I can think of at the top of my head. :good:

Is a good phone if you can't afford the s3 or of you think the s3 is too big
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] T.J. Bender:
It's a great phone, period. GS3 is the latest and greatest, but the Skyrocket's still solid hardware. I almost think of it as a Galaxy S 2.5
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kr3w1337:
No it isn't a good phone to get now. Everything about it is dated.

Buy something that's up to date so by the time your next upgrade comes, you don't totally hate your decision right now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lazer77:
I would agree with this. Although it is a good phone, its not one i'd want to get right now and have to have for another 2 years.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] RastarNation:
To answer your question directly yes it is. However, if you have an option to get something better why not? I have the skyrocket and for the first time I'm in no rush to get an upgrade. In my opinion the roms out for it keeps it up to date with most phones being released right now. My wife have the S3 and I'm not going to lie it is better, but not that much where I feel I have to update. I'm waiting for the next wave of phone releases.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cavallino33:
If you can afford something better there are better options but it is a good phone for $29.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jondroid2:
Skyrocket is still a pretty good phone. Luckily when it first came out it was a little ahead of its time spec-wise. LTE, dual 1.5 processor, larger battery than the regular S2. It's still rolling with the punches and if you decide to use custom Roms, the Devs in this Skyrocket forum are SUPERB! I too just upgraded my wife's phone(S2) to the S3. I like my Skyrocket(running custom JB Rom) enough that I let my wife use my upgrade:) brownie points! If you plan on keeping your phone for a couple years, the S3 is the way to go. Didn't think I would be jealous of my wife's new phone but that thing is freakishly awesome! The size to weight ratio and performance is unbelievable! Feels good and looks even better. The only thing else I'm going to say(since I'm rambling)is if you can hold out a couple more months there will be upwards of 5 new Nexus devices coming out. The LG Optimus "whatever" being one if them. It's hard to beat these just on the support they receive alone.:cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Raijinbu:
I tried moving to the S3 (purchased from craigslist) from my skyrocket, but I hated the home button. I decided to resell the S3 and keep my Skyrocket. I'm currently using SkyJB which has the S3 Touchwiz.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] acey_zero:
I am looking at this phone too, but I would be buying a used one rather than using an upgrade. The GS3 is very nice, but I think it is getting a little too big for me, I think I would rather have the slightly smaller non-pentile screen, and from what I can tell it doesn't seem like the CPU on the GS3 is just hugely better. Both seem very well supported by Cyanogenmod which is very important to me, though the GS3 will probably be supported longer since it is newer (and probably outsold the skyrocket as well).

I was thinking about getting the next Nexus, but removable battery and SD slot are important to me, so I am leaning away from it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] UZ7:
Here are a few pic comparison, not really that great of a comparison but take it for what its worth :)

Skyrocket, iPhone 4, S3:

Skyrocket, S3:

The free 2100mAH battery you can get from Sprint via Accessories thread:

And S3, iPhone 5

:good:

Pretty much I have experiences with all these devices and I still think the Skyrocket is a good phone. Like previously mentioned think of it as a Galaxy S2.5
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] billownz:
The s3 is great but I can't see much reason to upgrade. The only major benefit is that there is a true jb kernel so you may have better jb roms. I personally would wait for the nexus announcement and make a decision. Even if you don't like the new phone the gnex price should drop.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] robm1911:
I actually just got my skyrocket a couple weeks ago and couldn't be happier. I did get it off eBay because I was bored of my captivate and wanted something different, and not being too impressed with the s3 I have saved my upgrade till something comes out that really impresses me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] askpcguy:
Is phone X better than phone Y? No idea since no two people use smartphones these days in the same way. It depends on which device you are upgrading from. My case it was the Captivate which had terrible GPS. Finally had enough and I am finally happy with the phone overall. One negative mark in my opinion is the development for the Skyrocket is not as busy as the Captivate was / still is. Meaning I only see one custom kernel for the Skyrocket. The Captivate at one time had 2-3.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Alamein 300:
The issue i'm facing is the horrible spell correction on my S3. I came from my old S1 directly to the S3. On my old S1 I could type a word out and if it was anywhere near close, the phone would correct it. On my S3 it obviously knows I'm spelling it wrong because it gives me the option to correct it to the right word, but doesn't do it automatically. I am under the impression that it has to be a setting somewhere because even when I downloaded swift I had the same issues. In settings, under the stock keyboard I have all the right boxes clicked as far as what I suspect it should be, but I was wondering if anyone else had this issue.

I am also curious about this. I never had this issue until I flashed the stock touchwiz rooted roms. Now my mistyped words are never corrected automatically no matter what options I select. The rom obviously changed something in the keyboard....anyone know a fix for this? Things like "vibrate on keypress" or the "hand writing" functions just plain don't work/show up. Thanks for any help.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] mario_bril:
Hello everybody,

Initially I tried to install Jelly Bean, so I put my phone into recovery mode, I performed a backup and I wiped all data. Unfortunately I have put by mistake the Jelly Bean zip file on external sd-card. I tried to reset the phone and I saw that I could not access anymore recovery mode. I entered into downloading mode and after several flash tried with Odin, I do not see anymore the download screen but the phone is still in this mode. Any flash tried with Odin seems having no effect. Screen is completely blank. Any help, please?

:crying:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xsenman:
But First powerdown, pull out Battery, SIM CARD, and EXT.SD card, press power button for a minute, than powerup without SIM and Ext.SD Card....Do remember to backup your contacts, data, images etc and also your EFS folder before flashing a ROM and make sure you have more than 50% battery charge before you attempt any sort of flashing.

Check Here to chose your forum/Guide by Version of your phone or you will have more problems by using wrong solutions due to different versions of Galaxy S

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] gokhanmoral:
I didn't know that 9300 and 9305 was almost identical, even the partition sizes and layout.

I just have to reconfirm that but if it is so I will release i9305 version by simply editing the config file a little + some merges with 9305 kernel sources.

but it will not be so easy if the partition layout is different.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] btemtd:
It would be great to have another choice of kernel
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] btemtd:
This is what Andreilux wrote before he ported his kernel

The I9305 is almost Identical kernel to the i9300 one. Only difference is:

CMA device memory allocation is gone as we don't need the hacks used in it for larger memory, 2GB with the default setting will suffice. <<< Although if it doesnt hurt and just gives us more then feel free to leave it in there, the more the better I say, But you are the dev so you can decide.

LCDFreq might not work [WIP]

You apparently have no FM radio. <<<<< Although these devices have the hardware and he said he is going to make a kernel with FM support... We havent seen one yet as he is working with Note 2 at the moment. So feel free to try yourself :P

The port is trivial and everything else should work flawlessly.

Also this helped him create a CWM flash hope this helps you these are the partition locations on the I9305

Maybe your version of fastboot is not exactly compatible with the bootloader, that's also why rooting is so hard. If able, try the windows version that comes with one of the Toolkits. Please, even if you don't want to, give it a try. Might make your life easier.
