4 screens? That would drive me crazy. I MUST HAVE an odd number of screens. Home in the middle and the same number on left or right.

I use 3 screens and 5 is tolerable... But any even number annoys my sense of aesthetics.

And to all you guys on the s4 and the HTC one:

Tell me ONE THING those phones can do that the rocket can't.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] spitfire2425:
You can use it as a remote. Just one thing off the top of my head.

It's 4 screens and blinkfeed. Which is more useful than you would think.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] BaconStep:
I used the remote feature. Pretty sweet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mindmajick:
OK. That's one :D. Definitely something the rocket can't do. I was actually surprised that they added the IR port since they stopped including those on most devices YEARS ago. My ancient palmpilot could do that.

I forgot about that one since I have a Logitech harmony remote. A TRUE universal remote that replaced 5 others. Everything except the TV can be controlled via network anyway.

Edit: next TV I get will be internet ready.. Then I can chuck the roku

icenight where ya been! But yea seriously, things are picking up quickly over in the S4 forum. You should get one. It'd be nice to have you over there. You're on rogers though, right? So you wouldn't even have to worry about the bootloader.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] droidbabyxda:
I had an HtC inspire 4g.... didn't last its 1 year mark. Vol button fell off. Battery cover never really fit flush into the phone... battery died all the time... etc.

Oh and it was so damn technical when it comes to rooting. I almost didn't make it to the end of the process.

So no I won't be buying HTC again. Ever.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
Still been lurking, but on the dev front things have quieted down a bit (still consistent though) so I was just stopping by to stay relevant lol.

Yeah, I read up on the phone a bit more afterwards and saw that, good stuff. I'm gonna wait a little longer though now that rumors of the "x-phone" aka moto x have been made concrete.

If its 4.7", > 8 mp with good low light and has a big removable battery I'll be getting it. Vanilla android for the win :D

Until then I shall keep waiting lol, skyrocket is still quite serviceable

Beats by Dr Dr
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Yeah, it's garbage. So weak
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Yeah I've heard voodoo and its far superior to beats. Anything beats related is terrible. The headphones, the computer speakers, and the docks are all terrible compared to good reference quality speakers and headphones. Beats enlisted the biggest ripoff company ever when they partnered with monster. All it is is a marketing scam. It's Sad people don't realize it and are sucked in with all the hype. They should really listen to good quality speakers first and then they will know. Just like monster convinces you that you need all sorts of ridiculously priced wires to make your speakers sound good. It's all bs and they aren't alone in trying to rip people off. A $10 hdmi from monoprice will have the same quality as a $400 audio quest unit. And the same with speaker wire if you know what you're looking for(gauge, insulation). It's just terrible what these companies are doing. And then you got the best buy employee telling you the same bs about if you don't get these $1000 wires your speakers won't sound good. Get bent bro, you're so full of Crap.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
Beats headphones aren't crap... They just aren't nearly comparable to other $300 headphones like senheissers. I will admit that the docks and other stuff is garbage though... The cables aren't $1000's of dollars lol, maybe 50-60% markup compared to competitors but u also get a warranty and such, with means a lot to some people
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Yes, beats headphones are total Crap. Yes audio quest makes cables well into the thousands of dollars, along with some other companies. Monster makes them a bit cheaper but still way overpriced. Warranty on wires? Who cares? I've never broken a speaker wire or cable. And if I ever do I replace it for a few dollars.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] spitfire2425:
I know you guys think beats is crap but beats+Sony's audio tweaks makes this phone sound amazing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
No beats r not crap, dollar store headphones r crap. Using them for dj'ing which I believe u do would make them crap (too base heavy, makes NO ATTEMPT at a flat or neutral sound), for that go buy senheissers, audio technica's or v-moda m-100's. Warranty? Some do, just cuz u don't makes it laughable lol. And some have setups where wire replacement is cumbersome.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Beats is Junk. Monster is Junk. I don't buy overpriced junk.

IF the honami has Rogers/AT&T compatible LTE and a battery ABOVE 3000 mah ill for sure get it, 6.4 inches is nice but at that size it'll almost negate the big battery with screen on time, standby will still be awesome. But I use exchange for work so whichever lasts the longest between the two

You could say the same with the Note II the screen is very large, but it still lasts for days
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
Wrong. Note 2 is only 5.5, Ultra Phablet is 6.4. No way a screen that large is gonna days.

I am talking about the Honami, not the Xperia Z Ultra.

"Android 4.2-powered Honami is rumored to have a 5" 1080p screen and a Snapdragon 800 chipset" - from gsmarena.com

Amoled screens consume more power than LCDs don't they?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lazer77:
Not a big deciding factor for me but, system dump from a Canadian version of a next-gen Sony device (might possibly be the Honami), shows a 20mp camera. Damn.

Obviously I could've tweaked her phone and got it running better than new with a custom ROM, but this way she gets a new gs4 and I get her gs3 and her upgrade and keep my skyrocket:D. Then when November rolls around I'll try to pick up that Honami. I call that a win win win situation:cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pre4speed:

I would love to keep all my phones but I don't have the money to buy a new phone outright cuz i don't have an upgrade I'm able to use until Feb.

Well I definately liked the price tag of the s3. I noticed size wise, the s3 and s4 are not much bigger overall than the rocket, but screen size is. I was also reading the fforumfor the s4 and noticed something about a locked bootloader? I'm done with locked down tight phones after my motofail atrix. I haven't actually received my s3 yet, but I'm excited. Already planning my rom. Slim all the way! :thumbup:

Oh that does suck! It was easy to root the skyrocket cuz of the bootloader. I'll have to do some more research on it but having a kid makes me more willing to get the water resistant phone since she loves to hide my phone. Lol

Thanks for your input! Excited for you!

I don't believe so but I couldn't answer for sure as I don't have that phone. Just pop in that forum from time to time. Even if they, if you're already running a custom ROM, I would assume youre? But not even sure about that either.

Sent from my SGH-I727

EDIT: just reading that Verizon put out an update that's rumored to patch current root methods and flashed a new locked bootloader. Sprint may have got this also. (Would only matter if you're stock, but would worry me that new devices would ship with the updated firmware.)

Didn't see anything mentioned of the AT&T version though.

When are these ahole carriers gonna realize its MY phone not theirs? I bought it, let me do with it what I want!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
I'm of the belief that they should have two phone versions, one fully unlocked (carrier, bootloader etc...) for those that buy outright and one locked down for contract customers. Obviously this isnt feasible because of manufacturing limitations and cost. We also have a varied based system on this with select phones already (I.e. playstore nexus 4, s4, one etc...)

U bought the phone subsidized so u don't "technically" own it. You're paying off the remainder of the phone over the lifeterm of your contract. So while I do agree with u, I also realize that a whole bunch of people who say that line really have no right to.

I think I remember seeing you poke your head into the Optimus G Pro forums. Dan Rosenberg started working on porting Loki to the G Pro this morning. There's some testing going on, but it should be done shortly. It's a great phone and it can be had for $50 these days, on contract.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lazer77:
Ya I was interested in it. I've been following along with the unlock process but I feel like at this point, when it does get unlocked, how much dev support will it have?

Sent from my SGH-I727
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pre4speed:
This is one reason why I no longer buy phones from the carrier. I will buy a brand new phone off Amazon or eBay before I would even think to buy from a carrier. Those phones that people buy that way does belong to me, let me do with it what I wish. There should be a way to call the carrier and show your receipt of purchase and them give you resources to unlock the bootloader and whatever other restrictions they put since in fact it is mine. But I know the carriers will never do that because they want control of the garbage on your phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
That is precisely why I'm not an early adopter when it comes to tech. Let the product be dealers and those Guinea pigs will most certainly find bugs or issues within a few weeks. Any deal breakers, I don't buy. Plus a few months on the market allows me to monitor and see whether the dev community is active or not. Bootloaders usually kill that, yet another reason I bought my rocket :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lazer77:
That's why I didn't jump on it either. I think the bootloader issue is going to be a constant thing for all phones now. I honestly think I'm just gonna keep ole reliable (the rocket) until the next Nexus offering is revealed.

Not only this .. too many people abusing the warranty system. They rooted their phone then mess up and brick it then send it back for replacement .... what'd you think happens?

People want unlocked blah blah but don't want to take responsibility for their own actions.
