So Im debating on buying the Galaxy S2 or the Atrix. Iv been a long time Galaxy S user (i9000 since the beginning) and as much as a disaster it was, I still held off and kept with it.
The thing I like about Atrix is gps works, super fast, (I never use GPS except for weather and I CANT see weather on my SGS cuz my gps doesnt work ) size of it, speed,
-Bad things are moto blur im not a fan of, bootloader locked (I have never flashed roms on my galaxy s, but iv done a ton of research and will want to in the future), no gingerbread
The things I like about SGS2 are unlocked BL (just like above), screen looks a bit nicer then motos. Gingerbread.
This I dont like - size is pretty big, and im afraid im going to be settling just like I did with the SGS
My buddy just bought the SG2 and says the wifi sucks, battery sucks, and the GPS still isent the greatest.
Now my question is, is this just a bad batch like the first galaxy S's? or is this going to be the future of the SGS2? To be honest Samsung left a bad taste in my mouth after my SGS
Wifi seems to have some compatability issues with certain routers and there is a bug for some people with battery drainage. So, as I see it, not the end of the world, but annoying for those affected.
GPS works fine for me at least.
Dunno which batch I got but I never had such a perfect phone before. Even get Gps signal indoors in 10 secs.....
Wonder why some folks here have so big probs ........

Thanks for some of the comments guys, I know its hard to be un bias but im just trying to watch out for bad apples. The SGS was my first Android phone and it was great... for a while. I even went back to my Iphone cuz of the problems on my SGS (And im sooo anti Apple lol) and not to mention the 4 SGS's I had to exchange, what a nasty time in my life.

Same here. no problems at all.
Sounds like a troll. The wifi is very fast, with great reception. The GPS takes a reading in seconds and is extremely accurate, and the SGS2 runs all day on a charge - unlike my last phone, I don't need a way to charge this phone at work. Beyond that, it is fast to use, has a camera good enough so that now, I have a usable camera with me wherever I go, it plays games and movies to entertain the kids when needed, gives me full access to the Internet everywhere I go and it has a reasonably good connection to all communications outlets - social networking, IM, and email. Can any of these functions be improved? Sure, but the overall package is probably as good as any phone on the market and better than best-sellers like the iPhone 4. At the moment there is no better phone on the market, and this phone will hopefully remain useful for much longer than the HTC Touch Pro2 that it replaced.
I currently own both the Atrix & Galaxy S 2. I'm currently trying to sell the Atrix. My Galaxy S2 is the best device I ever owned. If I had a 12 year old child, I would give my Atrix to them.....IT IS A PIECE OF OVERRATED CRAP!!!!!
Get the SGS2, I couldn't be happier!!!!
Atrix, don't even think about it. I feel its one of the useless phone out there. I used it for some time. Screen is really awful. I hate to compare this with SGS1. SGS 2 is way up in the sky.

Quite simply because Samsung's quality control is terrible. I've had four Galaxy S Captivates and they've all had issues to varying degrees. I'm seeing the same issues with the SGS II as I did with the original: blotchy screens, yellow banding, and GPS issues. I attribute the complaints of poor battery life due to user interaction (read: constantly playing and running benchmarks) so that's more of a wash to me. But the hardware quality control seems to be right next to the original SGS: in the gutter.
Battery life is pretty good, 100% at 8am this morning & its now 10pm at 68%. Used for about 20 mins of calls, a bit of web surfing, downloaded a few apps & some general fiddling about.
I've had no problems with GPS. Initial fix took no more than a couple of minutes & it has performed like a champ.
The wifi though does seem to be quite weak.
I don't care if you get the sgs2 or not but the atrix is a piece of ****. It can't function right without motoblur.

Pretty tired of these "doomsday" posts with no general processing of the overall picture. This phone is fantastic, even with the minor bugs. This device makes the SGS feel like a beta prototype that should have never even been released.
Screen is gorgeous, web browser NEVER lags even when zooming/panning with flash on screen, GPS/Navigation is flawless, everything is just blazing fast with no hint of slowdown. So, if you think your last-gen Atrix is a keeper, by all means, keep using it.

I couldn't agree more. The Atrix had a LOT of potential but sadly was bogged down by a piss-poor implementation by Motorola. The big thing to note is: even though the SGS2 has superior hardware, it's not superior by much. Even this being the case, the SGS2's performance completely trounces that of the Atrix simply because of the optimization done by Samsung. I had one and ended up selling it because it just didn't feel like a next-gen phone to me and couldn't be happier w/ my Galaxy S2.
For me battery is great, screen fantastic, call quality spot on. in three weeks, no lag or crashing. Camera is superb, external speaker great. 2 & 3G sensitivity perfectly fine. 1080p video recording amazing. ummm...just trying to think of something negative..
I'll have to come back to you on that one..........
OP:
Many of the problems commonly found in the SGS1 can be cured with a ROM change. Darky's has been great for the GF; wicked good battery life (2 days), FAST and GPS even works!
The update fiasco that was the Galaxy S1 was (imho) due to the US carriers. The GF purchased her SGS1 from Telus Early Jan, and I installed Froyo that night through KIES.
Basically what I'm getting at is the SGS got a bad rap in the states, but I honestly don't believe the majority of the blame lies with the manufacturer in regards to the update issue. The GPS was fixable, but I have a feeling it wasn't fixed due to the difficulty encountered in updating the US versions of the SGS.
In regards to the Atrix, I am biased when it comes to Motorola as I owned a Milestone (non US, non CDMA Droid1). Now that device is a PITA as the bootloader is encrypted and Motorola has truly been atrocious with the updates. I would never buy an encrypted device after that experience, as I can't really update my phone on my own.
Moved to it from a Desire running Ginger Villain. Phone's great, screen's great, no problems with WiFi or GPS.
Chalk me up as another person struggling for a negative.
Just upgraded from the SGS1 to the SGS2, it's sooooo much faster. My GPS locks indoors WITHOUT AGPS (insight of a window maybe 8ft away), I like TW4 and the new apps, a good camera and the build quality is better than the SGS1 but..... it took me a while to get used to the new screen, at first I found the contrast a little odd and the audio is not as good as the SGS1 (with Voodoo) and may never be.
Overall though a great phone and a good upgrade to the SGS1, I think this phone will do well.
Had the GS1, only problems with it. Since I've got this one, no problems at all. Frankly, the only issues are reallyyy minor and the phone's speed makes up for it
I've also upgraded from an original Desire to the SGS2, it's amazing. The wi-fi gets one less bar than my desire but the speed is still 18mbps as it was on the Desire. Can't fault it tbh, awesome phone
I never use GPS except for weather and I CANT see weather on my SGS cuz my gps doesnt work

Omg lol!!! Is this guy serious?
Go with a normal phone. I can see that you don't have the intelligence to handle a smartphone let alone SGS II. ...Unless you're Superman who fly to different cities every hour.

Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
Every single question you just asked is readily available in the forums via a few second search. CM9 is reported as coming. There is a forum for that too... You need to learn to search.
I'd advise you to go with the Note. So far, the best phone I've owned. On a typical day I get around 5h 20min screen on time and about 21-22h unplugged time. Totally stock, quadrant of 3400-3850 and smooth as butter. I will leave stock and start ROMing when The Collective finishes their ICS rom(s) . Phone's gonna get so much better still with the huge dev community that it's attracted and with ICS available.
I've been in love with this phone's screen. No worries there, it looks stellar. S-pen is crazy useful as well. I didn't see myself using it, honestly, before I got the Note- that has changed as I use it daily, multiple times. Great feature.
Highly recommended.

i came from GS2 T989 and after using this phone i was VERY disappointed with speeds and lags.
touch screen is slow, less responsive. animations are laggy and NOT smooth.
battery life and camera are great (better than gs2)
thats my personal thought. im waiting for htc one X, ill switch.

You better check that HTC One X battery life. $100 says your *****ing about it a week after ownership. Teenie battery on the One X and given HTCs reputation, 16gb non expandable storage on the ATT variant, that phone is set up for a disappointing daily use phone.
If that's your 4th day using the note I'd recommend getting a replacement from a different retailer. Go on YouTube. Hundreds of videos of the ATT note. No lag present. You didn't soecify if you were stock, or ROM'd and what ROM.

What exactly is that supposed to mean? As someone coming from another Android device I would expect some more specifics other than to across the board generalize about the OS. When does this lag occur and are you sure it happens on all devices? I haevn't had any experience like that on my N1 or my Infuse and I don't expect it on the Note when I buy it this week.

My iphone 3GS was on its last legs and I was basically bored with iphones in general. The S3 happened to come out at the perfect time and I got hooked by all of the hype. Other than a few minor annoyances like battery life and wifi connectivity, and of course migrating all my stuff over from the iphone which was somewhat of a pain, I'm glad I switched.
was time for me to upgrade, i was bored with iOS, and have always been very pleased with google. this looked like it was going to be a great phone and i was excited to start using android so i preordered it--so far so good :good:
Well, there are a few things I love that are unique to the gs3 & a lots of things you can find on other phones also..
Unique to gs3
-2gb ram
-First US carrier device that is buttery smooth, so I didn't have to spring premium price for an international variant and suffer slower data speeds
-for my T mobile account, this is the first 720p device that is Tmo branded, so I can take advantage of the 42mbs hspa+, while enjoying tru HD
-The first Android device that is identical across US carriers (this is the greatest advantage in my opinion), so that development may be more unified
This phone is the complete package in my opinion, the only way Samsung could've satisfied me any more, would've been a vanilla OS, but hey, I knew that wasn't going to happen!

2GB RAM, Power Saving mode (only ~5% per hour while idle, could only even get near that on the Epic while running cm7 with some tweaking and the extended 1800mah battery), NFC/Google Wallet - just last night bought a Slurpee on Google's dime, thanks Google! (plus NFC stuff is really fun, I can put the phone in my car and it'll automatically turn off wifi, enable 3g, enable GPS, turn volume up and launch navigation - how fun is that?).
Not super impressed with the GPU and wished it could handle higher bitrate 1080p (esp when output to another device) but that's really just a minor gripe of mine. Battery could of course always be better (when in my lifetime we can have similar performance with 24 hours screen-on time I'll finally shut up about battery life). S Voice doesn't really do it for me, but voice controls for while in the car in general is a good thing. Also not super impressed with the screen protection quality, my girlfriend made one call and her not-even-diamond earrings caused a little pattern of scratches into it - so much for scratch resistant. Hardly the end of the world though.
Mostly? After coming from the Epic and having to jump to custom ROMs almost immediately I'm impressed with Samsung actually putting out a device that seems to be mostly flawless. I almost didn't go with them this time around after the Epic going through GPS issues of varying sorts and requiring custom ROMs to do what should of been stock (the whole team behind cm7/9 development on the epic is fantastic). Everything works well, touchwiz is not all that intrusive or annoying in ICS once customized to my liking.

There is as an option in the NFC Task Launcher but it may just be disabling Wifi and automatically attaching to 3G in that case, I set it up as an action regardless.
I had a GNex on Verizon. I had a few bad experiences with VZW, they put me on a promotion that I was told I could keep if I added another line,....they dropped me from it. They have had lots of data problems with their network this year. The Nexus even with the extended battery would, at the most, with AOKP on it and Franco kernal, gave me 2.5 hours of screen time. A few other times they lied about things.
Got tired of Big Red. So I decided it was worth it to pay the ETF and jump to T-Mo. Now I am saving money on an unlimited plan for me and my wife. No more dealing with LTE radios EATING battery life alive. Im getting 20+mb down on HSPA+ and the GS3 is getting 4-5hours of screen on time over 15+ hours.
Not looking back.
Samungs inovation and continuing improvement in technology. And the fact that its the best Android phone todate.
It does anything other phones can while it does everything other phones cant. I hope that makes sense. In other words, its the best phone on the market.

Ahhh... I've still got my Sensation, and I was actually using it primarily while I waited on the GS3! The sensation was one of the most exciting phones to get, it was such a jump up from everything else at that time! I had gotten kinda bored with the GS2, so I was using it for like two months solid. Sadly, I'm thinking I'm finally gonna sell it. I've squeezed every drop of Rom Flashing Goodness from it, and I've got a buddy who just recently asked me if I would sell it. :-(
I bought mine to make all my friends with iPhones jealous and it works
I'd been out of contract and still rocking the S1 for the last year waiting for a phone i really wanted. I went to uni in Seoul (고려대학교) and so i am partial to all things Korean, which leaves Samsung, LG or Pantech... err well... pretty much only Samsung.
I almost got the Galaxy Note but it was just a little too big. So glad i waited for the S3. I cant imagine this phone being obsolete, even by enthusiast standards, anytime too soon.
the gps on this device is nuts. its so fast.
Hi folks,
I have a S1 and S2 right now and I might want to buy an S3. (after a long series of other phones I owned)
Now GPS is extreemly important to me. A lot of people are refering to the time to get a fast fix, which is also nice to have, but accuracy is more important to me.
I have a friend with an S3 whom I let do a test on GPS test and the best accuracy he could get was 8m which surprises me since my S2 does like 5m and stays steady on that 5m.
How accurate is your S3?
Don't worry about it. This is probably the best GPS on any phone.
And yes the GPS is as accurate as you can get.
Also I usually have a lock on between 15 to 18 Sats.

Well the amount of sats locked doesn't actually say a thing about accuracy I think. I also a have 2 bluetooth GPS receivers that lock on to the same amount of sats as the S2 but which seems to be much more spot on the map.
I do the test in the garden combined with google maps which gives me a nice idea of how it behaves.
Anybody care to do some tests in either gps test or gps status?
Already done all those. Believe me if I stand by my front gate that's where g maps will show me to be.
Anyway all civilian GPS are artificially limited to 5 meter accuracy by the US govt. I'm not sure about glonass but I'm guessing it's probably the same.
BTW I've had multiple GPS devices over the years and the S3 beats them all hands down.

Don't worry about it. It's not a real measure anyway. Is just a statistical estimate which is set by the devices libs. Unless it's something ridiculous like 30 meters you don't have an issue. On the hd2 when Tytung was developing the libs he allowed the setting to be altered through GPS conf. Yes it felt good psychologically to look at GPS test and see an accuracy of 1 or 2 meters but it actually meant nothing. If GPS test or maps is showing variations of 6 to 12 meters everything is fine.. The most important thing is the speed at which it locks on to sats and that the lock is held with no drops. If you have a steady lock on 4 or more sats everything is good.
But just to show I took these screen shots a moment ago. Note the difference in accuracy. In actual use this will have no impact.

Coming from a Nexus 4 running ParanoidAndroid and Franco's kernel, the HTC One running stock ROM is a lag-fest!!!! I often have to wait a good second or two after touch the icon for the app to appear, and simple games like Bejeweled Blitz and Candy Crush Saga took forever to load. Temple Run 2 would occasionally stutter.
I was baffled!!! On paper this phone is supposed to be faster than the Nexus 4 -- could the 1080p display cause that much of a hit in performance? I even installed the Bulletproof to try improve things but only the battery life gets better.
Solution: I flashed Android Revolution HD 10.2 ---> the phone runs smoothly like butter now!
If you do that, you lose WiFi calling, correct?

I think it was something with 4.1.2. I used an app called Skout on the stock rom that came with the phone and the lag was unbearable, so much so i was going to return the phone, but now i have a dent in it so i'm stuck with it lol. I installed the 4.2.2 roms and the performance is way better, not Nexus 4 smooth, but definitely an improvement. I cannot wait until the GE HTC One is released and we have a solid stock Android rom that is supported, i don't mind stock, only bad thing is no remote control app and other things. I really hope 4.3 brings even more performance to Android, because these phones are way to powerful to have "noticeable" lag.

Unfortunately yes... I live in Seattle and T-Mobile's coverage here is rock-solid so I've never found myself needing that feature. It seems you just have to pick your poison.
But honestly, I'd pick great performance over Wifi calling anytime -- you'd always have to put up with constant mediocre performance in exchange for those occasions when you're in areas with spotty cell signal,

No lag, best android that I have
Had a Galaxy Note 2 which had 0 lag and "down graded" to a Galaxy S 4 which stutters way to often. I returned the Galaxy S 4 today and picked up a HTC One because I heard they fixed the back button which they did and it feels flawless compared to the Galaxy S 4. I prefer running on stock 99.9% of the time but on the Galaxy S 4 I was required to run the Google Edition rom to actually have a good experience with the phone.
So far with the first hour of owning the HTC One I learned the blink feed is actually useful because I rarely watch the news or read the paper. I can have all the news I want appear right in front of me.

Through my own expirience, Ive had lag on all Android Platform phones, but on the HTC One its usually flawless but there is like 1% of the time where the phone would choke a bit and have occasional lag.
