yep, it's true. The new at&t GS2 "skyrocket" will rock a snapdragon which can beat beaten with a 1.2 ghz exynos.
and if you have it oc'd to 1.6ghz like i do.... then you know the rest. lol
plus, if you're worrying about LTE, the GS2 get's 21mbps up as well as the "skyrocket". so really, if you want a bigger screen with less power, get the new one.
I'll keep my GS2 and try out the HTC Vivid as well for the camera.

How did you overclock...and what effect does it have on the phone...
lol at&t man, my bad.
and i used the zedomax OC kernal.
I'm a beginner on this from an iphone and so far i'm loving this phone more than anything.
now i'm trying to see what ROM i want on here. i seen a lot of ppl going with CM7.
any thoughts guys?
Where do you live that gets 21 MBPS on HSPA?
The fastest I ever got was 5MBPS and that was in an AT&T store. Everywhere else is only 1-3MBPS.

I too would like to know about 21mbps. Also I saw you said you can't post links but you work for at&t. What exactly did you read our have documentation of that has the specs of the skyrocket? Does the document have all the specs of the phone? Some people are saying things like it has 1.3 ram instead of 1. Are you able to clarify some of these speculations and tell us what exactly this phone is supposed to have?

Well, since the Exynos only comes in 1.2Ghz and 1.4Ghz we know for sure it's not that.
Here's the stats for the version launched in Korea. It's Qualcomm.
http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/09/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-lte-phone-surfaces-in-korea-codenamed-celox/
My bad, I meant capable of getting 21mbps.
But yeah, if you wanna pay a restocking fee of $35 for the phone plus an extra $80, and a weaker pro lessor. Do it. Just saying. My gs2 on 1.4-1.6ghz is awesome.
Yeah. I'm new on here so I can't post links yet it's 1gb of ram. Even the nexus isn't exynos.

Give up Exynos, gain LTE. Why can't we have our cake and eat it too? I hope Samsungs next chips will support LTE. Nay, Sumsungs next chips MUST support LTE.
After seeing it pass through the FCC, I had been waiting for the Note to hit AT&T. I would have gladly returned the SGSII in favor of the Note, but the moment I read the latest news - and that AT&T is favoring LTE over exynos, I decided to give up hope on the Note.
I honestly don't think the snapdragon processor has enough power to drive that high resolution display without stuttering. That might not bother AT&T as long as they get to push LTE phones (even though LTE is nothing more than a meaningless buzzword in the vast majority of AT&T markets right now), but it bothers me. It's like taking a beautiful Porche and sticking a moped motor in it.
Even if the snapdragon is capable of pushing that display, it'll only do so by draining the battery quicker than a 14 year old boy with a copy of national geographic.

I already owned a Hercules, basically the same thing as the SR but without the LTE, and I had an amaze, both of which run the same internals as the AT&T "note".

I too have been waiting to see if would come to AT&T for a while now and in what form. My gs2 is a work phone and been was going to get the Note as a personal phone once it hit here. I'll probably just pick up the international version now as no LTE in my area and probably won't be for a while and appears to be inferior hardware from what I've read.

Could be worse - Verizon customers have had the choice of only battery-hogging fatties or underspecced cripplephones for many months.
LTE isn't going to be mature enough for primetime for at least a year, the power/weight penalties are way too high currently. Unfortunately it's starting to look like AT&T is pulling a Verizon, not giving customers who want a mature, refined, high-end phone with decent battery life many options.
Most likely, the I777 is going to be the peak of refinement in terms of contract-subsidized devices on AT&T for at least a year. Anything newer and you'll be one of AT&T's LTE beta testers.
Remember the early days of UMTS? We're in the same position now with LTE.

I don't know i was kinda shock its like the shelf life of high end phones around 6 to 7 months then wham a new version. Now I did read that the slll will have only a duel core due to the quad doesn't play well with lte. Maybe that's why a duel core. Idk. One thing I've noticed is the phones are never complete to me. The one x has the quad core great camera but then no sd card. The note great but doesn't have the s4 chip. It's like all the phones have one major features lacking just so u may have to upgrade or move on to the next one.
What about a phone that has
Quad core
Sd card
2gb of ram
Super almoled screen
Lte
Lastest os
Thin
Great camera
Great processor
The ultimate phone all the best of the recent phones. Now that would be hot.
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium
It won't be much longer and this phone will have been out for a year. My next Note will be an international one since LTE is not appealing to me. Bring it!
"Due to its incredible success Samsung has started to work on its predecessor the Galaxy Note 2."
Who writes these things? I doubt predecessor is the word they wanted to use.
Successor must have confused them
I don't buy it, the specs just don't add up. .2" bigger is quite bigger even though it doesn't seen so, only 1.5gb of ram whb the s3 has 2? The processor? Nah its a fake
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
Of course it's fake. Samsung has never stated that they intend to make another Note. It is pure conjecture.
Look what happened when they dropped the screen size half an inch with the S3. All of a sudden it is cool to have a ginormous screen. Hopefully it won't dissuade them to keep it above five inches.
The S3 is getting an SPen (called a CPen) very soon as well. Maybe the next Note will be one of the five Nexus phones dropping this year.
Who knows. Hell the one true fact of technology is you can't really keep up. There will always be the next hotness around the bend. Wow I didn't relize the note had been out so long I guess cuz Att just got it in March/April but i guess it has been out longer internationally.

That's how it usually works. International first and then the Americas. I am surprised the S3 is being released this quickly in the U.S. to be honest. Maybe they are trying to soak up some of the 'would be' iPhone 5 buyers although it is probably more along the lines of supply and demand.
Yea...I agree with you!

To many little things in this article don't add up fire me to believe any more than maybe the timing.
First, it's either written by someone whose native tongue is not English or something... And why would the SG3 get quad core and the revised note be dual core? Just because if the lte thing? Makes no sense.
And why would they repeat the crap about over 300 dpi again as they do.
The while thing: Smells funny to this kid and when it smells like poop, it usually is.

Hi,
Just saw this vid about the Galaxy Note 2 and its S Pen features. >>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTMfkG8a-2g&feature=BFa&list=HL1346344641
My question is... what are the chances that the geniuses here at XDA can replicate some or all of these functions for the S3 if you had an S Pen?
Ideally it would be nice to have extra functions when you hover the pen over the screen, and pressure sensitive handwriting.
Having seen this vid, I'm quite disappointed that the S3 I love so very much, is no longer the Samsung Daddy! :crying:
What do you think? Forget the size difference, just features, is the Note 2 looking more functional than your S3?

Both the screen and the pen react to each other
i will be getting the Note 2 as long as it has LTE WITH its quadcore......if not then they can keep it. i have the international s3 and after coming from the skyrocket and galaxy note LTE version. this s3 just crawls on the network.
so im hoping the quads will get LTE this time around.
Im sure I heard that it would be 4G with the quad core.
(OFF TOPIC)
I'm British with an International S3. I phoned my network/carrier this morning and asked if my S3 would be compatible with 4G when we get it in the UK (By the end of the year apparently). He assured me it would be. Why can't the International S3 get 4G in the US?

The screen is capacitive for your finger and also inductive for the pen. That is how your hand doesn't draw lines on the screen while you are writing as the capacitive part gets turned off while the pen is being used. At least that's how it works on my Note 10.1 and I'm assuming the Note 2 is the same
I believe it's the pen that senses the pressure and tells the pone.
Here's hoping all the cool stuff from the N2 turns up in the JB release for the N10.1!!!

Looks sweet I would definitely get it if it had a higher res screen, don't think I could take a reduction in pixel density from my s3 but still looks great. Love the quad core and 2gb ram

cant be just the pen who's pressure sensitive.
If it's really only the pen, u could actually reengineer the pen to work capacitive, which would give any other user the same experience as the Note..
Either way.. Im wondering what JB-Features they add for the S3.. as we've seen there are quite some near features for the NoteII.. nothing u couldn't do with the S3 I believe

I did say to him - I thought the (international) S3 didn't have a 4G compatible radio. He then asked if I had received a new sim with the phone. I said a micro sim. And he said then it would be no problem. He said something about how he works for a specialist department and he could ping my phone and get certain info back from it about its capability.
I'm wondering (which I now realise I should've asked) will the British 4G network infrastructure be different to the US? Meaning we wouldn't need the same phone hardware as US 4G users to receive the same speeds.
In fact, I might just call them back tomorrow.

You will be even more disappointed after watching this video.
actually many of the features can be implemented without S Pen.
It will be bad if samsung don't give us that super cool gallery, best faces, video seeking preview,etc...

the note 2 is good
but not alot better than s3
so i think i will stick with my s3
despite being painful, i think i'll keep my S3 until the S4.. i think i read spring 2013? i'm really curious already about it :fingers-crossed:
i think i would have definitely upgraded to the note if it had quad cpu and higher resolution. quad core isn't enough to warrant because i don't see many apps making use. probably a battery killer too.
Wow! We're talking S4 already!!
The initial envy I had for the Note 2 is starting to fade. As I have the international S3, I think the hardware's pretty much the same, just bigger screen and overclocked. And all the software differences could be addressed with a few updates. Jelly Bean being the main one.

I worried that samsung might not provide those features update to us(international s3 users). they might want to keep them exclusive to note only.
Seem like samsung spent more time innovating on Note series than on S series
But I see all S3 features are available on Note2
I think I am in the correct forum for this question, if not I apologize.
I just purchased a Samsung Galaxy S5, but there are a couple of things about it that is making me wonder if I got screwed on the deal.
I traded the phone for another phone that I had that I really did not use much. This Galaxy I got is model SM-G900F. I was told that my AT&T sim card will operate just fine with it. Well it does to some extent. It only shows H+ no 4g or 4g lte or anything. Also on the front of the phone it kind of reads SAMSUNG but its in some sort of "funky" letters. Weird. And there is no gasket on the back cover for water proofing. There is a cover on the USB port. I am just wondering if its a "real" samsung phone or some kind of knock-off???

A picture of it would be nice. Maybe a picture of the software too.

Inform the seller immediately that something wrong with the unit you've got, most likely it's fake. I bet you bought it from ebay

Here are the pics info of my s5. Wow not even a ultra power save mode or anything. When I go into the data mobile networks there are a lot of carrier options to pick from. I never seen anything like this on this S5.
Edit: not s5
that most definitely is a fake
So it is a fake? I will contact the seller hopefully I wont get screwed but think I already did...

Is that old software? Can I flash a updated software? If its not a s5 what is it?
100% fake. No, you can't update it or flash anything on it. Return it immediately and tell the seller that it was fake.

I wouldn't touch that garbage any more. Be firm with seller and return it immediately.
This really sucks. I feel bad for you. Return it asap!

If you bought it on ebay you can get you money back. I had the same problem with a G4.
Contact the resolution center. I used pictures from CPU-Z to make my case.
