Re: What phone to get next/info on up-incoming phones

I'd hold off until you see any sources, unlocked bootloader, and any developers. Of course I'm the type who hates OEMS who can't support development and always look at what's going on before I buy a phone because I never use stock lol.

One more reason to consider the Sony Xperia Z. Source is already released, and there are some great devs on board already such as DooMLoRD. I'll probably get one with my next upgrade.

I don't know why you want the newest when you already have the best. Save your money and stick with the rocket for another year and then see what's out there. Just my opinion and its what I'm going to do.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
Re: What phone to get next/info on up-incoming phones

But that's one of the main reasons I shall continue to stick to Samsung. Besides nexus devices that vary from different manufacturers, Samsung as a whole has the best phones for 3rd party development. Unlocked boot loaders and easily obtainable flashing tools are a plus. The skyrocket is by far one of the easiest phone I've ever seen to root. U use Odin to flash recovery and that's it. U can root, use radios, flash ROMs and backup/restore all from there

I'm not big on HTC as a brand either but since having a solid phone software wise for so long it'd be nice to get something that has both like the one... has the specs and a nice look. plus it focuses on stuff I wish were improved on daily like my speaker and camera can always be improved. just seems very realistic. plus HTC is offering $100 rebate if you send your old phone in with proof of purchase. hard to say no to $100 back :$
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] spitfire2425:
The speaker thing is huge to me. I love me some music and the speaker in this is okay but when it gets too loud its all distorted. Plus the metal makes a phone feel like it was worth all your money. I hate how my phone feels cheap cuz its plastic.

Ha! I Miss my Cappy too..... Its cool though my SkyRocket has been damn good to me, never really stayed with touchwiz roms, CM10 was perfect for me and in March they will release info on the S4 which I will likely go with. You have to admit Samsung has quality products and a good lead on most Smartphone manufacturers. Its worked out perfectly that most of us on this thread have the same contract cycles and jumped devices together. Glad my favorite developers were in the Captivate forum moved here and hopefully move to the s4. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] spitfire2425:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] epexegenesis:
...except graphene is just a layer of graphite, which is on the opposite end of the hardness spectrum from diamond. Sure it has 300x the strength of steel; problem is that doesn't mean much in in the real world when the thickness of your material is measured in angstroms. The main applications of graphene in future smartphones will be nano-structured battery electrodes, and perhaps later on, as an electronics substrate, in a sense replacing silicon.

As for my next phone, I'm leaning towards whatever succeeds the Google Nexus. ( Didn't Google buy Motorola a while back? Whatever happened to that? )

I also like the look of the new BlackBerry, will have to consider that too. And maybe something more shock/water/dust proof, we'll see. Hopefully the Skyrocket will last me a lot longer though.

Oh and I will never ever buy another Sony product. That company can go straight to hell.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
S4 is a major disappointment. That physical button on the bottom absolutely ruins the phone for me, if it didnt have that I would've upgraded. On top of that it seems unlikely that north america (AT&T & Rogers) will be getting the exynos 5, stuck with snapdragon again. Smh, I love my rocket but was hoping to update. Noe I have to play the waiting game again and hope something comes to market soon that fulfills my needs.

Wish list:

Screen less than 5 inches @ 1080p AMOLED

Battery above 3000mah

Camera equal/above 13mp with a GOOD sensor

LTE

Total onscreen time above 4 hours with over a day standby

NO physical buttons (except volume rocker & power)

If not for the screen size and the button the note 2 would do the job. Oh well, wait and see again

HTC One has a non-removable battery, wouldn't be so much of an issue if it was bigger. I'm greedy and want above 3000 mah for my next phone. Plus the way HTC locks them down doesn't do much for me, I like my aosp.

I don't do extended batteries and their accompanying bulk so that's out of the question for me.

Since the x phone is "rumored" to be extremely customizable I'm holding out hope that it'll have a big enough battery. Because of the "customization" factor I doubt they wouldn't have an option available to unlock the boot loader, since they ARE catering to a much large power crowd.

Either way, skyrocket is still doing it for me for now so I can wait until something hits the market that is exactly what I want. If I have to wait another year so be it, I refuse to settle this time.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
No need to do that. Just flash Siyah v4 (.tar) via ODIN (I use ODIN3 v1.85) in PDA section. This will give you root, CWM manager app and CWM recovery. This is the single best way to prep your phone for root and custom roms etc.

Its also customary (and tbh common sense) to provide relevant information like your current rom version as this can help in sometimes the supply of more accurate info/steps and saves time.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvgc3:
About a week ago I saw the app/widget featured on the little sidebar thing, and thought it was such a cool idea. I updated to Epinter's CM 10.1, and for the rest of the night, I had no problems at all. The next morning, however, I started getting reboots. I then spent most of the day messing with apps and settings trying to fix it, until finally breaking down and doing a full data wipe. I eventually got all my settings back to the way I like them after having no more reboots, then all of a sudden they started again. That's when it hit me: it was only rebooting when I had active notifications! I uninstalled the widget and have since had no problems.

So has anyone else managed to get this to work without reboots? Is there a setting or something that I'm missing?

This is far from important, and I really like the other updates that came with the new rom, but I would still really like to be able to use this. Thanks!
