[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cejack:
Just wanted to share my experience since I've found so much help on my own on this XDA forum for Skyrocket.

Us mere mortals with an outside life who can spend a little bit of time but not live, eat, breathe this stuff may find my hints very helpful.

You don't need to devote your life to this stuff but you do need to do your homework. Took me about a good weekend afternoon to figure out my battery levels and running programs to configure to an acceptable level of battery performance. If you don't do your homework and don't flash a good ROM for battery usage, I can see how non-technical users would get very disappointed in the Skyrocket.

I use my Skyrocket with CM10.1 running nightlies updates every few weeks for full production work running my own small business.

So "failure is not an option" for me. Nor can I afford to spend inordinate amounts of time troubleshooting power problems.

I posted my post in case the OP is a guy / gal who wants to get up to speed quickly and may have a budget for a helpful accessory or two if they happen to be an intensive user at times like I am.

The above posters are correct though - you can get decent performance from the stock hardware. But with all the GPS'ing, texting, phoning, webbing, syncing e-mail, voice mail, wi-fi, and other stuff I do in a day, the stock battery was not cutting it for me. My weekday can be pretty darn intensive with the phone / communications features sometimes.

Wanted to help out. If you are a mid-range end user that is competent enough to root, flash ROM, configure apps, and tweak their phone but have no intention of being a developer or getting into the really deep tweaking Android stuff, I think my post will be helpful to someone switching to the Skyrocket for their production Android phone.

What user error causes the phone to not receive calls exactly? I'm not saying it does it all the time or everywhere, but it's a huge pain in the ass when it happens.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] acejavelin:
I don't think this is user error, I think this is normal cellular service behavior, an "acceptable failure rate" so to speak. I have had lots of different cell phones over the years with various different carriers and I have always had this problem sporadically.

I call my own cell phone, a lot, I install commercial phone systems and often dial my own cell number to ID lines, sometimes 15, 20, 30 or more times over a very short period of time, sometimes over 100 times in a single day if troubleshooting an unusual problem, and it's not uncommon for one or two of those calls to just randomly ring and then go to voicemail without ever actually ringing my cell phone. I have had this issue on AT&T, Verizon, Alltel, Cellular One, and other carriers, BlackBerries, Androids, iPhones, and dumb phones, and across geographically diverse areas.

I don't know if it relates to system loads and capacities or routing failures or switching errors or signal quality or possibly even the device itself, but it definitely happens and has happened for a very long time.

Yeah you can say that you haven't seen me around because I left to the Note 3 months later after purchasing it back in Nov 2011 and never came back til now. Til this day, I still have the SR and it's running stock rooted debloated and from a standard prospective...the battery life isn't good for me. I believe you guys that Flashing other ROMs and adjustments can improve battery life but out of the box, it isn't that well. (Atleast that was my experience with it). Also, I don't think anyone mentioned about the power button issue overtime...

Even though some members can vouch for you in this forum, it doesn't mean the OP is going to instantly believe every word that you type is true. This is the internet, everything should be taken with a grain of salt especially when this thread was mainly asking for opinions. The facts are to each their own.

No disregards.

Everyone has their own term of "heavy usage". So the outcome will vary. Since you've decided to purchase the SR, "my recommendation" is to get spare batteries or an extended battery since you mentioned heavy usage throughout the day. Also, whatever the other members are doing to get those incredible numbers of battery life...you Should do it. There are way too many factors that contribute to battery life so not everyone will get the same result. I believe there are quite a few members that carry extra batteries or have an extended battery because it helps them get through the day on heavy usage. Hope you enjoy your new SR.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bps119:
Power button is was brought to light in the first reply. So was the option of using an extended battery. I personally don't use one, nor do I carry spare batteries, because 12-15 hours with the screen on for a minimum of 3 hours of that period is more than enough to get through my normal day before I can get to a charger. "Heavy usage" is most definitely subjective, this is why I gave not only the stats in hours of my battery life, but also the length of time in which that life is obtained with the phone in actual use by stating the screen on time. I don't do anything extraordinary to get these times, and mine aren't the best in the forum by any means, but a custom rom, and squashing a few wake lock issues occasionally provides me with more than enough juice to get through my typical day.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SKyRocKeting727:
"Screen time" can be misleading because for instance...reading articles on a device vs gaming on a device...both will have the screen activated BUT the cpu is running at a much higher rate and speed when gaming thus Causing much more battery usage. So it is subjective. Screen time can be useful but can be misleading also. I'm glad you get good results but everyone's result will vary. Either way, the OP has decided on the SR which is a good decision but "IMO" the Nexus 4 would've been a better choice as they have much more dev support and better hardware if he's willing to pay a little more.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
You mean the 989 doesn't have lte, making it inferior.

It would depend on how much you care about open source code and legal business practices. They have blatantly abused GPL and it hurts developers then when they do publish sources half of it is such a mess you can't make heads or tails of what's been done.

Samsung does the exact same thing now with the code so they aren't any better but on principal I refuse to buy either again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cejack:
mtdew: I noticed that you were contemplating a new phone purchase when your 2 years with Skyrocket under contract is up.

I'll be doing the same and handing down my Skyrocket to one of my kids.

Curious which Android phone you might be considering and why...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mtdew:
Get far away from OEM's that publish poor sources. So Samsung and HTC are out of the question. I haven't decided yet but Sony is a strong competitor now.

I've got an iMate JAM,

which is the samller version of the pda2k with 128mb of memory,

i had some software problems and the local supplier said its a known problem in this software verson. so they took it to upgrade it.

after upgrading, the telephone worked, however,(here is the problem)

i tried to restore my old data: contacts, emails, txt msgs, ...etc.

after restoring the pointer (touch screen) didnt work! i tried every thing that came into my mind ... restarting, soft reset , ... and nothing worked.

the only solotion was to do a hard reset. the device worked perfectly after doing the hard reset but i dont have my data !

i took it back to the agent who simply said: we're sorry you are not the first one... but you cannot restore your old data after upgrading!!! :evil: !!

- a friend advised to post the issue into this website (CUZ THEY'RE REALLY GOOD) :wink: he said!.. i really wish i could find a solution to my problem.. i need to restor my old data .

thanx.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] krobinso2295:
My camera app, and just the way my phone's camera works in general has made me extremely upset. I don't know if it is because of me constantly flashing new Roms (who knows? I might have broken something while doing so). My camera never auto focuses. When I say never, I mean NEVER. To think about it, it doesn't focus at all. I have to relaunch the camera app in order to get things to refocus. I've never really bothered to ask, but I began messing around with my brother's phone, and his camera works perfectly.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] youdug:
its funny that all these problems im having are randomly popping up for other people.

mine doesnt either. im two seconds away from hulk smashing it and getting a replacement from best buy.

i pulled my phone out of my pocket yesterday and it wouldnt turn on, apparently others are having this issue also. i eventually got it to boot into the bootloader and i then proceeded to accidently factory reset because the option is next to recovery.

in fact, i think i might tonight. (return it, not commit insurance fraud. thats bad, mmkay.)

maybe ill get lucky again and theyll have it on backorder and theyll let me upgrade. (thats how i got my lte, the 3ds were on backorder.)

[HTC One X] Wackywilly522:
issue rooting too! got jammed up on recovery

so, folks, i almost soft bricked my phone. i am trying to root my one X with rogers, currently on android 4.1.1 with sense 4+ and SW# 3.17.631.2.

i used a tool i found in a google search, seemed legit, it was a type of one click root program. at first i thought it worked, then my phone rebooted.

i got a screen that says "this built is meant for development purposes only, unauthorized distribution may be subject to legal action" in big red letters. but the phone booted alright, but no root access, i can only assume my phone was updated beyond the use of that tool, and it failed. now i just tried flashing clockworkmod recovery included inside Hasoons all in one toolkit. it looked liek it worked. but now, for the life of me i can' boot into recovery to make my failsafe backup. i try to boot into bootloader, press power, i see,

fastboot

recovery

FDR

ECT

when entering recovery i see this "built is meant for development purposes only, unauthorized distribution may be subject to legal action" screen again (forevermore known as the "this build" screen).

i tried flashing back the stock recovery and trying again, it didn't take, no errors from hasoons toolkit, but all attempts to enter recovery, end on the "this build" screen.

so i did what i probably should not have done.

factory data reset - threw the bootloader, hoping ot restore the original build.

the phone bootlooped for about an hour then actually recovered, (gasp!!!) with all of my personal information intact, no FDR had occured, or it had, then somehow reverted.

so here i am, with no other options, unable to flash a recovery, any ideas how i might get passed this hiccup?

the steps i took are

note, my end goal is to permanently root my phone and put stock android 4.2.2 on it, nexus style. :D

[HTC One X] Wackywilly522:
i don't have a "Failed" screen per say. the console tells me it suceeded, but when i boot into recovery to be sure i got it right, i should normally see a red triangle and exclaimation mark. i understnad different recoverys may start differently.

alright, just for kicks i let the "this build" screen come up again. held volume down, and pressed power. pone screen went black, the nav buttons turned off. i thougth the phone powered down, BUT. then i pressed power and the phone restarted, as if it had been on a recovery screen and i had selected reboot system now. its almost like the phone is on, but the screen is inactive, i see a kernal in the hasoons toolkit, should i have flashed that first? i know a kernal is what allows OS software to communicate to the hardware. what do i risk flashing the kernal now?

i would post a pic of this screen, however, my one X is my only camera.

also, i tried the other recoveries inside hasoons toolkit, they don't work either. the last one i flashed is supposed to be stock, however.
[HTC One X] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Lol ....I really don't know what your problem is...the red triangle only appears in stock recovery...then flash manually the other recovery....and its kernel not kernal ...no kernel is not important to get recovery working or its just for the Rom you have to flash later....go back to bootloader do fastboot erase cache then put another recovery in fastboot folder or in Hasoons kit or how ever its name is...then flash the recovery manually with fastboot flash recovery -name of recovery-.img then again fastboot erase cache to prevent from issues etc...then de-select fastboot and go to recovery...it should work...
