[Q] Please help me to choose between i9100 and i777 - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

i had a thrill 4G(unlocked) and now I am going to buy a galaxy s2 from ebay. So few questions for you guys
this might be crazy though but i just want your help
unlocked I777 price is lower than i9100 on ebay --why is that?
According to gsmarena i777 got a talk time of 18hrs while i9100 has about 18hrs (at&t web site also says talk time in i777 is 8hrs) Any difference in battery department ???
Thanks guys

+1 it depends on your location. Don't think a new thread should have been created for this though. You could have easily gotten your answer through a simple search

The i777 and the i9100 are mostly the same.
Differrences:
I am not certain whether there is a radio chip on the i777 but the i9100 does have radio
It is locked on to the at&t network unless you buy the unlocked one
And specially in Sri Lanka the phone would be more exclusive because many owners have the i9100...
The i777 has the NFC chip built in to the battery and the i9100 does not
These are the basic differences. I have posted a link which explains many differences further....
Developer support for both these roms has been exceptional and are still continuing...

IMO Price reduction may be due to the carrier supplying these devices at a subsidized price. But I am not aware of the exact reason. Are you purchasing brand new or used?

The i777 does not have the FM radio chip.

18hrs of talk time???

In general I'd recommend an international over a carrier version.
Intl has better resale value and less bloated stock software.

I like the capacitive buttons myself as why I didn't go with the international version.

Guys im not new to google or xda .. I made lot of searches for my doubt and at the end i created this thread to get xperts idea !
There should be a delete button for the thread so that i could delete this. Because i know this is not that valuable for others. Dont you guys this so?
Not every thread is important for everyone. In my case i answer so called useless threads over there. Because they might not be important to me, but foe the creator.

definately the i777 following the reasons outlined before

777 vs 9100

Plus with the capacitive, there are four buttons - rather than only three... I always like it if mine goes one higher...

Just ordered my GN, what should I flash first?

Hey guys, I'm coming from an i777/iPhone 4S and I'm extremely excited for this device to come in. I'm going to keep it stock rooted for a few day I think, but after that, what do you guys think I should flash? Thanks ahead of time!

If GN means galaxy nexus I would suggest that forum but even then the best answer would be to look in the correct forum and then flash various Roms and pick the best one that suits u

Opinions on this phone?

Hello everyone, I'm thinking about purchasing this phone and I'd love to hear what is good and what is bad about it. I'm aiming to pay 320 for it. Is it difficult to unlock myself or should I pay them 20 dollars to unlock it for me ? I'm currently waiting on their reply to see what model it is
Model is kind of important considering this forum section is for ONLY the sgh-i777

I didnt think model is THAT important i thought the phone in general shared the same qualities :silly: it's with telus though so maybe it's not this phone model i just assumed they shared the same qualities across the chart

Don't just assume things like that, I am almost positive that telus' version is the skyrocket so you're posting in a forum that is completely unrelated to the device

is I757m same thing as I777??

Hello, I have experience with Android phones, but not with samsung phones in particular. The amount of different Galaxy SII models is overwhelming.
Anyway...
My dad just got this phone from Bell(in Canada) The box says Galaxy SII HD LTE. Its the one with 4 buttons, 4.65 HD screen. Specs are as follows:
LTE:700/AWS
HSPA+ 21Mbps Triband(850/900/2100MHz)
EDGE/GPRS/GSM850/900/1800/1900MHz)
I want to root it and load a nice quick ROM on it for my dad.
I want to know if its safe to use ROMS and other tools from this forum or is it a very different phone from the I777?
link to phone: http://www.bell.ca/Mobility/Products/Samsung_Galaxy_S_2_HD_LTE/Specifications.tab
I have a feeling every carriers version is different minus international. Especially the different name. Not sure so go ahead and flame I'd I'm wrong
Sent from my SGH-I777
The bell is akin to the T-Mobile version I believe

It is not at all the same. It is very similar to the skyrocket, I think dsixda has cyanogenmod for it in the i9100 section (even though it really doesn't even belong there)

This is the forum for the AT&T version of the Samsung Galaxy S2 (SGH-I777). You have a Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100.
You should browse this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1055
Hope this helps. Sorry other people only pointed out faults rather than helping. I recommend reading all the sticky notes regarding rooting before you ask questions. Do your research before you attempt anything. Best of luck rooting the phone.

The reason most point out the fail is simple. The different forums have words differentiating one phone from another.

I understand that. However, there is no reason for anyone to rude about it. It would have taken an extra 2 seconds to tell OP why his post was a "Fail". I get every new comer to XDA will ask the same questions over and over. If you (not you Phalanx7621 directly, I mean users here in general) don't have anything to post that will solve OPs issue, why bother wasting your time posting anything?

push people to read more? At this point why bother spending time to post that you will not be saying anything. It adds nothing to the conversation.
Whatever man. All I wanted to convey was that even though OP posted in the wrong forum, there should still be some level of decency to tell OP why, even if the latter sentence is "Fail on so many levels" and have a mod close this thread.
Request for Mods: OP posted this in the wrong forum. Please close this thread. Thank You.
We do report threads. But maybe you don't realize how often this happens. Its irritating to us because it could have been avoided by simply looking to see what forum you're in. which isn't really too much to ask. I agree, extremely rude responses aren't appropriate, but everything most of us say is light hearted and not meant to be taken too seriously

Which rom works with what carrier?

I'm due for a new phone on October 1st through sprint, and I already have my mind set on the galaxy s3.
Although after looking through the forum I see that there's a bunch of roms. Which is a good thing, except none of them are marked as to which carrier they work for (that I've seen.)
So without having to ask each thread, is there something that I'm missing? Basically, is there some way of telling which one will work with which carrier?
I'm coming from the evo that was a sprint only phone. So it was pretty simple in that there was no choosing.
Thank you,

Considering you're in the i9300 forum, what do you think? All ROMs made for the i9300 will work for all kinds of i9300, and there's only two types of the i9300, the 16GB model and the 32GB model.

I'm using tapatalk and thought I was in the right place. Until I started seeing roms for different countries, I got a little skeptical.
I had a feeling that it was a simple answer, I just wanted to be sure. Lol

The only thing that "should" differ country-wise would be localization and language. Nothing else.
