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.

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.
I was just wondering if this forum is for the sgs2 or the skyrocket???

We have a development forum, which shouldn't be cluttered with the random crap being thrown out there right now .
I would without a doubt go for the Og GS2. The CPU chip set is the major gain on going with it, although the Skyrocket does have a minor gain on speed, the chip used is garbage compared to the OG.

We understand......and we are saying we dont care in the nicest way Possible
with a smile.
Had mine for a day. No noticeable lag and ran 5 straight quadrant scores over 3100. Dev support will not be as strong as og but to reiterate other posts, if you're in an LTE market it is worth consideration. I got mine for only 99.99 so to me it was a steal. Coming from the i777, noticeable screen quality difference especially in colors at low brightness and pixelated small images. Zoom and swiping is less smooth but not noticeable unless you had the i777. Battery drains slightly faster as well but the tradeoff is lte speed. If you are in a market with LTE, worth a look...otherwise hands down i777

So... the "garbage chip" is faster? I agree that it's not as elegant in design as the OGS2, but it benchmark's just fine and has a much higher network speed. (Even without a custom kernel to improve on it yet.) It's also much higher on the CPU INT benchmark's, which impacts the majority of applications. I'm liking mine just fine and I've used both phones now.

I believe I said "I don't". What's the point of having device specific forums to discuss a whole other device in that forum unless its for comparative reasons. Most of such topics are the same as the last. According to the forum rules I read search is one of the first options before posting. Most of the skyrocket topics are all saying or asking the same questions...

So tired of the processor debate... the reality of it is.. in 2-4 months time, there will be another phone with a better processor; since S4 and OMAP4 series are all slated for Feb.
Can we just say and leave it as is, "Buy the phone that suits YOUR OWN needs".
What about this?
So we shouldn't be argue any more...

Hello guys,
I've been following xda photon forums from the start. I must say that i like what you guys do here and your communication, being helpful and nice to each other. Devs are friendly, owners are like buddies. Honestly, MoPho forums draw a picture in my mind for what it should have been like in all other motorola forums @xda. I own razr xt910 and atrix now. Just decided to trade my atrix for the photon. Atrix is a great device but it doesn't excite me anymore. It's not that i need a photon but cant resist myself of getting one especially after the free msl code guide.
Wish me luck for the trade since i'm looking after a straight trade.
Good luck with that.
I think the fact that the Photon is not as popular as the EVO3D, SGSII, etc. is an advantage when it comes to this forum and the type of peeps participating. I remember how bad some of the other phone forums got after growing with users. Everybody started complaining, fighting, and most the devs, sorry to say, were just plain jerks. In there defense though they were getting stupid questions asked time after time after time from lazy, immature users who didn't want to read first.
The other great thing is that this phone is better stock than most other phones are so not as many peeps having to flash a new rom every hour to get things to work. The roms we do have in this forum are quality and backed by devs willing to provide any support needed.
After being on the EVO 4G forums, and Droid X Forums, boy, I hated the rude people. But after all, we have only had one major fight break out here, and I had to call in the mods to clean some trashy mouths up. But, only one. I am friends with every user, (I think that the one who got into a verbal fight with me left the forums, so now I can honestly say,) every user on the MoPho forums. We are the nicest people just trying to help one another in anyway we can. (Please join the XDA Fan Group by clicking below on my Signature.)
guess most of those "rude people" must be some kids who got too excited on a new phone. Photon is for men, lol... I found popular forums (xda, ppcgeecks, androidforums...) are always helpful.

If you look at my signature, SPB 3D Shell is giving me a headache at the moment, but I love my phone. Get Otterbox Defender over GhostArmor to protect that baby!
Coming from the EVO 4G since it's launch, I've definitely seen my share of arguments and rudeness on both XDA and the Androidforums website.
The community for the Photon seems smaller but not less served. We already have a nearly stable CM7, a Miui port, and our CM9 is well on the way to being on par with the EVO 4G's.
The only thing we're missing is some themed roms, but it is of little consequence, specially if you use CM7 and utilize the theme manager.
I've come from the Samsung Galaxy S, it was good and lots of development but the crappy GPS annoyed me, couldn't get a fix unless you're under a clear sky.
Loving the Photon, gives me a fix down to 6m indoors on a rainy day in just a few seconds! Also the notification LED is really nice.
Its funny how no one had this phone but when a little development comes around all these new people pop up randomly lol. Good luck with your trade, and if its successful hope you enjoy the best device on sprint's network!

I bought the Photon on launch day. But I came here hoping to find development works. I don't have those skills (or that time) but I am grateful to those of you who do.
Meanwhile, I like the phone, and I like the community. I assumed there were similar communities around most of the phones, though.
It's a very good phone. Just watch out for the texting issues.

I highly recommend the Galaxy S II. If you wait for something better, then you will always be waiting because newer, bigger phones will always be coming out. Right now, at this very moment, the GS2 is the BEST phone to get, and I believe it will remain on top for AT LEAST the next year.
In short as I',m sure at least 97% of the users here will tell you... I'm gonna say... Yes. You should. However if you don't mind waiting then keep waiting until the next great wonder phone drops.
"...something better", define your term.
HW spec., I'm sure there are phones that has higher freq., higher lcd resolution, .... that might not be suitable for "better", especially development supports.
Skyrocket is one example and Skyrocket HD is on the list to be released.
The Note will be out shortly, I'd guess less than a month.

AT&T Note variant is crippled... Crapdragon means no pulling any goodness from the GT-N7000 community.
It's not like the Captivate being able to pull from I9000 and us being able to pull from I9100. Yes, our development community is fairly small - but it doesn't need to be large because nearly everything happening in the massive I9100 community is applicable to our devices too.
The AT&T Note won't have that.
Yes - only if you are in non-LTE market/area
No - if you are in 4g LTE market or near-future LTE market
Starting Feb'12 at&t is going to introduce a lot of 4g LTE phones including skyrocket HD.
Even in an LTE market, I would not recommend any of the LTE devices. LTE is not yet mature, just like 3G wasn't mature when the first iPhone was released. (One of the few things Apple has done that I fully support is not jumping on the OMG NEW RADIO TECH!!!! bandwagon when it was CLEAR that the new radio tech was bad for battery life and phone size.)

WHy do people say this? I am in a LTE area and had a Skyrocket before jumping ship, data speeds were faster but its not like HSPA+ is Edge or anything.
Definitely. It's such an amazing phone, and the people on this forum are really helpful.
I don't think anyone here will say no haha.
I say yes you should get it. I Recently came from the Inspire(DHD).It took me awhile to get use to how light Samsung phones feel compare to HTC. Like mention believe if you live in a Lte area go ahead and get the Skyrocket or wait for the Skyrocket HD. I would recommend going to a local At&t or retail store and try the phone out to see if its to your liking.You don't want to pay for a phone your not going to like.

And also remember that Samsungs touchwiz doesn't seem as polish as HTC sense to some people(I did see something about sense on the gs2 but not sure if it's real or finished).Touchwiz is more based on speed and performance then it is show. The cool thing about the Samsung galaxy s2 is that thanks to amazing developers like Entropy we are able to run the international ones roms with hellraiser.if I really like HTC build n UI then go with the vivid.if you want yo try Android in a new amazing way get the gs2.like I said before try them both out at the store cause when it comes down to it it's your phone and it has to fit you.

Make sure you buy a jig if you decide to keep the phone because it comes in handy.you can find them on ebay for like $2+. Alot of the roms are themed touchwiz but they are Alot better then stock.
Greetings, everyone. As you can see, I'm from the One X forums, and I have come in peace. I came here for one reason only, to ask the Galaxy S3 users of their experiences, but please don't make it long. But don't misunderstand me as I am loving my HOX, reaches 5+ hours od screen time with normal to a bit hard usage too. Anyways, have you ever, even for just a few moments, had a feeling of doubt and regret after using your phones for a time? I'm sking because I feel this sometimes too, and am asking myself whether to buy an S3 or not. Btw, please don't be offensive. I tried to be as polite as I could.

I see, but the whole point that I wanted to point out was to simply ask whether for just a moment, has anyone felt, even if it's just a tiny little feeling of doubt or regret after some time with their devices. A simple yes or no could suffice. But HONESTY must be at hand, too. I would apologize however if some of you would just find this useless and start saying how the S3 is better. A yes or no is all I need, I would do the counting myself. But some few explanations of your answer would also be great

I love my S3 and it`s bleeding fast but the screen of the HOX is better than ours. That said the S3 has much better batterylife, removable battery, sdcard slot, better cpu as said and i like touchwizz better than sense, alltough i don`t use ( Nova Prime). I have had the HOX also so i can compare i think. Both are good devices with their pros and cons.
I like HTC indeed i had a HD2 probably the most hacked and "liked" phone ever on XDA, the One X is indeed almost on a par with this phone but no removable battery or no micro sd card facility meant i could not consider it over the Galaxy S3 and coming from an Galaxy S2 i was always gonna get the Galaxy S3.
I'm running Supernexus stable Jelly Bean on my Galaxy S3 and it is blazing fast and super smooth, too early to post about battery life as i only flashed it yesterday but when i had Android Revolution and CheckRom i could too get over 5 hours screen on time.
To conclude i would say the top 2 smartphones on the market in order are
1 - Samsung Galaxy S3
2 - HTC One X
My brother is having issues with his HTC one X while my SGS3 is fine as ever. Does that make you think otherwise?

Well the s3 is my first ever smartphone. it feels a lot more plasticky than the s2 and the back cover feels like its gona break every time i need to pull the battery. my friends love the take picture while you shoot video feature.
At first I was shocked by the battery life since i was used to my nokia mobiles lasting upto 3 days with a single charge.
I got over this quickly as i began to realize the s3 is actually a powerful mini pc. if ur a heavy user it makes complete sense to buy a spare battery.
The stock rom was slooooow. full of bloatware. ram management could give me at best 190MB. when i realized that in addition to this i couldnt install firewalls that was the last straw.
I came to xda and studied the rooting process, and eventually installed cyanogenmod 9 on it. boots take just as long but i now get upto 420mb free ram. i was a bit turned off by the 'no camera flash, no fm, no hdmi' feature (or lack thereof) of the mod but got over this the moment the boot animation played out. besides the camera is fixed in the new nightlies, i can use spirit fm and i had hdmi out in my last 2 phones n never bothered to use it.
I'm never going back!!!
