Ok guys, the time is almost upon us. Who's gonna be getting the SGS II on ATT this weekend? I plan on calling my local B&M stores to see who has it(possibly for a lower price)
I posted here, because the Captivate is a Galaxy S phone and there is no dedicated forum for the ATT SGS II yet
Ide like to get it. But I don't know how much its gonna be off contract
sent from my unbrickable modded captivate.
They took too long to get it out. The Nexus Prime is just around the corner and there are already rumblings about a quad-core SGS III for the first half of next year. I'm going to wait and see what the Prime is all about and if there are any problems with it. If not, I may jump on the Prime. If the GPS sucks or something else is wrong with it, I'll wait for the SGS III.
Plus, it looks like the SGS2 won't have LTE. If I'm going to be locked into a phone for 18 to 24 months, I'll want LTE capability for when it starts rolling out.
I guarantee if I buy an HSPA phone, they'll put an LTE tower in my back yard a week later.
[raises hand]
I'll be getting it.
Dual core HSPA+ is fine with me, and the by the time a quad-core with LTE is available through AT&T I will be able to get the discount again. No point in waiting since AT&T is the only carrier that reaches my house.

This was my thinking for a little while but a few things swayed me back. The prime is rumored to have a 4.65" or bigger display. This is just way to big for me. The only way I could see this feeling nice is if the screen took up more space on the front, meaning closer to the edges. For example if it was the entire phone was the same size as the infuse it might not be too bad. As for LTE that doesn't matter to me because by the time they have a decent and functional network this phone will be long gone. Also rumors suggest that once you get an LTE phone you automatically get switched to a 2gb plan. No more unlimited .
Another thing to consider is that we don't know when this phone will launch on at&t. Verizon could easily have an exclusivity period and we could be left waiting and drooling for months.
But the real icing on the cake for me is I'm using a family members upgrade for this. My line is due for an upgrade in May so we'll see what happens then.
I'm torn. I love my Captivate, it's rooted and running great, except for a few GPS quirks. As awesome as the GSII looks, I may hold off for a little bit anyway to get some feedback, especially with respect to GPS, rooting, and battery life. Plus, I'll need a good case like my Body Glove TPU Case...

Yeah I love my Captivate too. Its been super smooth on GB 2.3.5! Much more than I ever imagined when I first got it. I'm hoping the SGS II will be the same way. With little time there will be safe rooting methods and some really stable Roms
I'm getting one. The way my plan is setup I can upgrade every year (my wife gets the old phone) . So no issue here. Also, there's always a new and best just around the corner as soon as something awesome is available in the market.

Go cruise the SGSII section to answer your questions. Apparently they are getting pretty good battery life out of them. Haven't seen a single bad GPS thread, and there are several ROMS available. Now that the US is starting to get these, i'd expect the developement to get even heavier. I guess that answers most of your questions.
You gotta remember that this phone has been out for several months already and is the number one selling phone in Europe and Asia. It's just now hitting here.

Gettin one for sure. Been waiting forever. I cant wait around for quadcore or lte. Single core has been fast enough. With 8mp camera, 1080p record, super amoled +, and dual core, how could it get better. Maybe the specs of the next best phones can say its better but how could you tell. I think i can live with SGS2 specs for two years

Just sold my captivate on Ebay for 200 which will go directly to my sgs2.
<----- Is getting one ! LOVE my captivate but it's time to pass her down to my daughter who is just as excited about getting my captivate!
I must say I completely get why some are staying with the captivate. It's a wonderful phone after putting one of the many many excellent roms on it.

Hey guys I recently came to att from sprint. I had their galaxy s2 version but decided to get the kg thrill... I have no complaints about the phone except their is no development happening. Should I go ahead and get the att sg2? Is it worth it?

What do you expect people to say when you ask this question in the AT&T Galaxy S2 forum?
I think you already made up your mind and just want to hear some form of confirmation...
So here it is: Yes, Galaxy S2 is great!
I used the LG Thrill for a month before exchange the the SG2. Yes much much better except no 3-crappy-D

Honestly I had made up mind...lol.... I just wanted to know if anyone who had the thrill found any significant difference....I only had my sg2 from sprint for about 2 weeks....
I'd like to ask a question as well without threadjacking too much, but I didnt want to make a new thread. I know this is a SGSII forum, but what do you guys think of the SGSII vs. the Samsung Infuse 4G? Very similar phones, my wife has an Infuse already. Is it worth the jump in $ for the SGSII?
I chose the Thrill for a few reasons, cheaper, dual channel RAM, dedicated HDMI port with included cable, and 3D. Check my posted from a week or two ago, I defended this decision on the sgs and Thrill forums.
After three weeks, unable to find a solution to my stereo Bluetooth issues that wasn't temporary, and when gtg left I bounced. The Thrill is a solid phone, it had great specs, and has amazing potential, but I'm not a dev and I cannot tap into that potential without a dev. When all the rats are jumping off a ship it makes you wonder if you should stay. Not that I am calling devs rats, but they are more in tune with the situation than an end user.
Immediately I did not regret jumping to the SGS II. Its faster, no doubt, 1GB RAM seems to outperform 512 of the faster variety. I prefer TouchWiz, opposed to what LG was running. Here there was two ROMs within a week of launch. There's another, and a few other devs are still working an yet to be releases ROMs. Here I am eating my humble pie. I would not go back. The sgs ii feels amazing in hand, its noticibly lighter and thinner. I thought 3D was cool (and seemed batter than the EVOs), but the viewing angles are narrow, and I just didn't use it except to show other people.
If in doubt go into a store and just use the SGS II for a few minutes, I don't think the decision will be hard once you get one in your hands.

Glad you asked because I wanted to know the same... it would only be an extra 100 for me to upgrade to sg2 and nothing to get the infuse...

I had the Infuse prior to my GS2 and I definitely think it's worth the bump in price. I loved the Infuse don't get me wrong, but the GS2 is really a great bump in every aspect.

My GF has the Infuse and it's a good device. I think it's worth the price bump to get the GS2 (even more so when the already decent development gets even better). RAM is the most significant point to me. Personally, 512mb is not enough. Otherwise, I'd be fine with the Infuse. The GS2 projects to the future a little better as well.

Of course. I don't even take the Thrill seriously.
I had the infuse and sold it the day this came out. The development of already way ahead. And GTG is here too now.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
All I can tell you is that the SG II is the best phone I have ever owned. As too if you should switch or not that depends on what you want out of your phone. If the Thrill does everything you want it too, I guess i would say stay with it.
Personally I have tried the Thrill and I think the SG II is just a better phone, but that is only MY opinion.
I love my Galaxy S 2. On my second one after it got stolen.
There is something wrong with me.
I returned my galaxy note due to the fact that it wasn't as snappy as an S2 and i missed the huge selection of roms... and while I'm happy with the S2 overall (again).. i have found that nearly a month of using the note has shifted my priorities.
I now find myself missing the big screen size more than I thought I would.
Here's my dilemma.
I kind of want the note back. But I've done 2 reverse upgrades already (i'm indecisive as ****)
I got this S2 from walmart because the ATT store here didn't have the original S2 (lte market)
Will walmart let me do a reverse upgrade do you think?
and then would ATT still let me upgrade again?
Would you go back to the note if you were me?
I'm stupid. Feel free to make fun of me.
Call walmart and ask. Then call ATT. There is nothing we can do here.

Was really hoping for some opinions.
We all had the lag when it came out, but I'm oh SAUROM, overclocked etc and the Note is SUPER smooth! Not kidding, we're talking butter here...
Literally, ZERO LAG!
There are some seriously slick themes being made, too. Couldn't be happier!
No idea if you will be able to finagle any more upgrades, but if not, you can borrow my S pen to stab yourself in the heart!

I have a rusty butter knife. I'm not worthy of the s-pen stab.
Could have told you that lol. Anyone who was considering going back to a S2 after having a Note is Crazy!
Is there a tiny tiny bit of lag once and a while, sure but nothing I'd give the phone up for. I'm on the stock ROM btw. People get to crazy with the "lag" theory. Mines fast as hell, I just clear the RAM once and a while no probs.

Yeah, I'm realizing now that I would trade this smaller screen and zero lag for the bigger beautiful display and slight lag every once in a while.
The rom thing isn't as big to me as I thought it was.
I really hope I can reverse again.

you can.
i'd say get it from best buy if you have one near you. i'm biased (i work there selling phones) but i think it has great value.
typically you get someone who is more knowledgable (it varies, not everyone is a phone nerd)
you have the option to get a really good protection plan (no deductible, unlimited claims, water damage coverage, loaner phone, etc.)
and the option to get the buy back which will give you guaranteed $$ back when you trade in your phone w/in 2 years based on retail (its $60 normally, but if you have the protection plan for at least 1mo you get it half off, for $30. minimum you would get back is around your upgrade @ 20% of the RETAIL value which is $799.99)

Yeah, my girl owns the note. Since hers is the name on the account, she got the upgrade/re-up price. I was 3,000 miles away when she got em, so she's had hers a week more than I've had mine.
I admit I turned her onto the Note... I just couldn't stop blabbering about it compared to our Streaks. But she found the Streak not too long after it showed up at Best Buy, and after I went and abused one in the store, I gave the OK to go with the 5-inch candybar. We've had matching phones now for just over 2 years and she'll never be able to go to a smaller phone again.
It's a hoot at dinner parties when one of us takes out the phone (as it has been for a while) and someone, inevitably, comments; "My god, what is that? Is that a phone or a tablet?" Whichever of us had taken it out replies; "Yes, its both (Streak and Note... same difference for most people)" Then the person comes back with, "Wow, I've never seen anything like that before. That's almost too big, how can you use that? I doubt anyone could carry something that big. How do you carry it, does it even fit in your pocket?...." Then the other one of us will take out the other one. All conversation at the table stops. The inevitable iPhone comparison ensues.... 4 iPhones = (not really, but in screen real estate, close enough) 2 Notes. Pictures taken (if there are any phones left after the comparison laying of small useless phones on the big ones), jokes made... on both sides.... lol. "Wow that's so big" Me: "that's what she said" Her: "Why do you think I keep him around?" Them: "Are you compensating for something?" Me "What, both of us?" Them: "I'm not sure I could use something that size" Her: "Oh, I thought so too at first, but after a week or so I was used to it, and I could never have something smaller." Yeah, they are great icebreakers too... at anything from dinner parties to business meetings.

It is a conversation starter though - I've pulled it out standing in the back of an elevator with three people, and the guy standing in front actually came and stood next to me. Three guys shoulder to shoulder on the back wall of the elevator was pretty awkward.
The only other time I've ever had anyone stop me to ask about my phone was when I had the first generation iPhone [when it was still around $400 and not ubiquitous].
In the past three weeks of having the Note, I've been asked about it more times than ever with the iPhone.
This is why some people shouldn't have choices. Apple makes it easy for you... one new phone a year. No choices, no second guessing. And I can see why some people are happier with Apple for this very reason. But if you are going to be an Android user, you need to grow up a bit, make an informed decision, and be happy with it.
Then come to XDA and push that device as far as it can possibly go

I probably seen every unboxing/review video of it in youtube and I constantly check for updates on what the situation on this phone is. What makes matters worst is that i pre ordered this phone on Verizon so i have to wait longer then everyone else to get it. Im just hoping for a stroke of luck that some how The verizon model gets shipped out before the 9th. Anyways am I the only one like this?
i think the hype for this phone has been just so much a lot of people are feeling the same way...
im actually about to return my HTC Evo 4G LTE (which is an AWESOME phone), for putting in my pre-order for the sgs3
the removable, larger batter and the 2 GBs of RAM really have me pumped, plus a lot of cool extra features, gesture controls, etc make this a super exciting phone...

lol noooo you're not the only one. I've watched almost every video on youtube.. over and over and over again and finally someone shared a video of the Canadian version which is the same as the U.S. one which I will be getting on June 21st from tmobile I am too too excited! imma have to pay 600 somethin for it.. grrrr
hahaha same, im stalking this phone like a bieber fan.
Yea you're alone. I'm coming from an Evo 4G, and there have been some decent replacements, like the nexus, galaxy S II, but I've been stalking this phone since it was first annouced back before march. I'm with Sprint, so I'll have mine next week. You can live vicariously through us.
Waiting on a pre-order is worse than simply waiting for release in my opinion, since the money is already gone from my account, but no phone in hand. Reading about how much the international people are enjoying theirs already makes it even harder.
You are not alone. I am also very excited for the S3!!! Then again I have an X2 so really any phone is looking good to me right about now lol!
I'm pretty blown away by the specs of the S3 and if I don't have to pay full price for it, I'll probably get it. Does anyone know if I would still have to pay full retail price for the S3 if I upgrade my contract before the 28th and lock in another 2 years unlimited data?? On Verizion, obviously...

I am glad I am not the only one who feels this way. I think Samsung should start doing their press release events the day before release because making us wait this long is simply unfair. I am secretly hoping that my carrier will call me today and say 'we got a stack of phones in early, would you like to pick yours up early?' LOL. Seriously, I know once I have the phone a while the novelty will wear off a bit but I want it now. And its not like my SGS2 is not a good enough phone or won't hold me over for another year. Do we need help or are just simply victims of marketing?? haha
And now it looks like the Canadian release date has been increased another week to the 27th.
I can't wait either cuz I'm not rooting this evolte since its temp so I want my permanent gs3 yeah buddy.
I thought I was the only one... I thought this was the ugliest phone, but it some how has grown on me, a lot, like I haven't been this bad since the first iPhone came out (everyone was going crazy about it)... and the fact that I haven't seen any U.S variants is driving me nuts...

Watch the review videos by phonedog the gs3 looks amazing.
Hey guys, so yesterday I made the switch to Sprint (it's waaay cheaper than VZW here..) and in return I got rid of my Rezound in exchange for the beautiful HTC One. I'm gonna miss all the talented developers here but I'm gonna miss Snuzzo's kernel and how helpful he is the most . It sucked selling my Rezound after having it for over a year and a half. I came from an iPhone to the Rezound, so everyone here made my first Android experience a great one. The reasoning behind it is because my Rezound's digitizer plug-in was messed up after replacing my screen twice, my front housing was peeling off from opening it, the vibrating motor was broke and the battery life was..well, we know our Rezounds and their batteries lol. I never post but I feel like I'm friends with everyone here just because this community is so nice and helpful. I'm gonna miss you all .
PS the One is amazing. I'm not as wowed as I was with my Rezound because I'm already familiar with Sense and Android, but it feels great in my hands and looks amazing.
I just bought a pair of Nexus 4s for the wife and I and switched to T-Mobile. This is definitely an awesome little dev community. Many thanks to all!

First; thank you for the kind words BOTH OF YOU. Good to see I helped you. Second; Who says I won't be doing anything on the Htc One?
I will definitely miss this community too! 3 days before I leave for basic training, my battery goes south and the earliest I can get a new battery is sometime on Tuesday...when I'll already be on a plane to Ft. Jackson. Bought a GS3 on CL, and I must say, the battery life is so phenomenal compared to the Rezound. 12+ hours compared to my average 4-6.
Will definitely miss the devs! I've been here since launch day in November 2011. My oh my how far development has come!!
And now Jellybean is out! I gotta stop monitoring this board cause now I'm hurting lol

Just picked up my 3rd Rezound... a minty used one with a ton of accessories and extra batteries, for $155. Nothing about this phone makes it anywhere near obsolete, but you guys just keep chasing after the latest, greatest shiny new device, and keep spending $$$. The smarter ones will be around to pick up your dirt cheap discarded leftovers. I'm still on my very first Rezound (purchased on Black Friday 2011), I just gave a used "spare" to my wife after her old dumb phone died, and now I have another backup/experimenting phone for cheap.
THANK YOU!

Sounds like someone is jealous. Don't be hating because some of us can afford the latest and greatest when it comes out .

Not jealousy, sounds more like loyal and being a money saver. I do agree, why waste your cash .....

Ahhh... I see. Common sense is the new Jealousy. :silly:
I could pay cash for a new One every month, and never miss the money. I don't live in my mom's basement, either. Fact remains, the Rezound is still a great device, and other than the lemming-like desire to have the "latest and greatest" (for no other reason than the dread of feeling left out of the stampede), there's no real reason to switch from it.
BTW... how much better was that Nexus than your Rezound? (my wife has one for a company-issued phone, and it SUCKS compared to her Rezound)
I am thinking of getting an S4 to replace my Rezound and use the Rezound to replace my D1. That way I can still have the best of both worlds.

I liked my Nexus way better vs my Rezound. Battery life was better, call quality was great, no creaky back and no washed out colors like the LCD on the Rezound. I do admit that the display on the Rezound is more crisp. That and all AOSP roms atm on the Nexus are way smoother for now. The only reason I dropped the Nexus is cause the screens would keep crapping out on me. Once developement starts firing up for the S4 bye bye S3! Plus if you have the financial standing to buy a new device and have enough left over in your bank for rainy days why care? Spend your money on things you enjoy! Spoil your wife and kids! When you croak and have a nice life insurance policy they'll be set for some time.

Some of us have more disposable income vs others and that's just an unfair fact of life .
Again, even though I myself CAN AFFORD to get a new device. I've not had a reason to. I guess assets and a word call saving doesnt apply when you said "disposable". Just save the "disposable" income. May need it one day.
What I am saying is go for it, but don't fill my mouth with words. Again, jealous, heck no.

Bolded and underlined. Which seems you are implying we are of lesser intelligence if we decide to spend full retail on new devices?

When we're talking about a devices that are hobbled by the inability to replace batteries when they go dead (planned obsolescence), or upgrade memory (thus forcing users into relying on cloud storage and higher data charges), then yes... it is a lesser intelligence issue. You're playing into the provider's hands, rather than calling your own shots. (OOOoooo.... look!! SHINY!!!)

I was never implying you were jealous. To each their own when it comes to what they do with their $$$. I just think freedoom is a **** when he is stating someone is of lesser intelligence for hopping on a newer device of their choice. I am directing the comment purely at him.

This is why I choose which shiny new device suits my needs before I buy it and drool. Plus I have unlimited data so idgaf about using cloud solutions . Some people don't care about swapping out batteries.. As most of them will already have a newer device before the battery goes bad. Lol you really think you're calling your own shots when you're contracted with a carrier? I rest my case.
