LOL!! Don't be giving this guy false advice...
To the OP:
Don't listen to skmminstones! Stick with your S2! Trust me you're just a bit bored of your S2, that's all. Once you switch the phone for the crappy xperia S. Just after 2 weeks you'll regret that decision, trust me....
Or get something that is actually an upgrade, such as the S3 and One X (As someone previously stated).
That's like suicide. You'll be crying down the line two weeks later.
A real upgrade is S3 or One X

Xperia S is a worse phone overall. Even though it has better screen resolution (worse panel though) and a better camera that's about it.
Good thing is it shoots much better videos in lowlight and does nice photos.
I would say better than S2 by a small margin in that aspect.
Overall I thought it was a really great phone until I actually played with it for a while... It's true. It is a downgrade. I am really happy to have my S2 instead of SXS even though it doesn't have 12mpix and a 720p screen.
Stay with S2 .
Why?
Because I'm here and I'm awesome.
Learn or atleast make an effort to Post in the correct section or gtfo to Xperia s forum

Xperia S is actually a last Gen phone with 12 map camera. Stay away.
i would avoid sony phones as they have started locking bootloaders on their new phone range , if your gonna stay on their rom then its ok.
heres the instructions to unlock
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
Dial *#*#7378423#*#* (or *#*#service#*#*) on your phone. This brings up the service menu.
Go to Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. Find the item for “Bootloader unlock allowed”. If the item is missing, or if its value is “No,” DO NOT continue with the rest of this guide.

Just noticed it as I read it again XD You know when you read something once on a forum then its still isn't enough to actually tell whether he is fking with him or he is serious
So this is what I learned today: Read the question twice!! <---What every teacher says to me coincidentally...
I think the sg3 is too big. The home button is in a bad position too. I played with a HTC one x. It's too big and had a permanent battery. What would I do? I have had to pull the battery out of this sg2 many times.
I think I will be staying with the sg2 for a good while. The HTC one s is the only thing a sort of like now but not enough to switch.

I'm gonna out on a limb and say no. But ask entropy. I figured there would be a lot more devs on this phone, but it is brand new so...
No dont. They are no the same. They use different radios for one. Do not attempt to do that.
yeah don't it could brick the phone (easy fix if you know what your doing) but this was something that was tried out at the beginning with the first sgs phones all the phones were different so the roms didn't really work and when ported over still caused problems for the phones that the rom wasn't built for. :/

No one has figured out a "hellraiser" style strategy for the I777 yet.
Don't know if one will be identified... It's more complicated than just swapping a 777 kernel/modem in, I tried earlier today. Haven't had time to review the results, other than I've got a logcat full of errors.
Different size screen, radio, cell technology, and processors. Yeah it might work.

I try to be patient but seriously... not only did you not search and find the dozen threads that have covered this but you couldn't even be bothered to make the effort to describe your needs and what you are looking for in a phone.

That's pretty mean to lie to someone just to get rid of them.
If you like signal strength and data speed, than this is the phone you want. Nexus is nice but the radio's suck. I have both, and the nexus sucks, and I flashed all the possible combo's of radio's that are out there..........

i upgraded from a droid x to the Rezound after speaking with some verizon reps about the Nexus and i am glad i went with it. Defiantly a lot more involved in terms of unlocking/rooting and flashing ROMS compared to the Droid X(IMO anyway) but it's a great phone with great hardware.

When does Samsung plan to release the damn update for this phone.... Besides their decent phone they suck at supporting their phone with updates!!! I need Asus to get back in the game, one thing with them they make great products and they also support their devices in a timely manner...
1. That's how Samsung's always been
2. A brand new Note2 just came out why give people a reason to not upgrade
3. You need xanax if that's pissing you off.

that's what usually happens when they update any device..happened to my EVO, happened to my galaxy2, and, it will happen to this device...
Its usually AT&T that holds up the process, they need time to put all their junk on it
If only the note was a nexus device.
As long as there is an XDA with fantastic Devs, I will never be subject to a manufactor's schedule!!!

That might be true - but in the Note's case it is not as they have yet to really make a release where the video and even car bluetooth work. Not to mention the lack of SPEN support and the flakiness.
But on the good side, the Padawin ICS ROM almost eliminates the need to JB at this point - just miss the tablet mode.
I read somewhere the other day that Samsung is supposed to be releasing JB to the Note 1 later this month.

Somebody said that one of the Canadian carriers was quoted saying that they are getting it at the end of this month, which logically would mean we get it soon, I guess. Not sure on the facts, we won't know till we know.
Thread going no where, Thread closed. And as always Thank you.
hello, Im using slim beasn and dorimanx kernel and when I play games my phone back comes very hot, sometimes turn off while playing. it getting hot near camera lens. I dont OC or do with voltages something, its everything default. Maybe my S2 is defective?
Nothing unusual there. You are just using your phones CPU more than normal usage. Mine becomes hot as well, cools down again when using normally (browsing, music, etc.)

Retards in denial are the worst kind of retard
I know this problem just flash new kernal that compatible with your rom too
siyah as an advice .........................
It's not kernel fault it's hardware(not fault) when it works not like unusually like I am playing gta vc my phone is hot but it's normal... but when 50°C it's not normal...and if phone always hot, then download compatible fot your country...
Merry christmas and Happy new year

If it gets ROM-able its on. My mind is made up.
Note III is going to be lame with a leather back. I cant sport that.
