hey,my first galaxy sii died on me 2 months ago (motherboard failure) and now I have a nokia 500
question is is it worth buying a used Galaxy s2? or wait for an s3?
and what about development is it still good as it was 2 months ago?

Please search the forum. This question has been answered soo many times.
Yea, S2 development is still strong, but all you had to do is go to the forum and look yourself.
You can find all the answers yourself, you just need to put in some effort

I already did,but I was just taking daily users' opinions.
thanks
The s2 is still a solid device to have but most of the focus has shifted to the s3, i would suggest to just get a s3 as it's more future proof. Luv my s2 tho

It's fairly simple.
Have enough money - Galaxy S3
Don't have that much - Galaxy S2 is still pretty awesome, I bought it 3 weeks ago, and it works like a charm!
angie4u said:
I used the SII when it first came out. If it's a good price, why not? I think it's still a good phone. but the s3 is already out. Is there a reason why you would prefer a S2 over a S3, other than the price?

Well the larger,HD screen,more development support,using the great sound chip (wolfson) and more future-proof
I guess I'll just wait for an sIII thanks guys

Did anyone notice? Would it make any difference? Is Galaxy Ace getting popular now?
Hah! That's awesome! I was kinda surprised about SGA not being in the main when i first got my SGA.

Yup - there's a lot of great things happening with Ace, so we wanted to put it back on the main index.
Most of the carriers in Asia just released the Galaxy Ace this May 2011 and June 2011. That's probably why we're seeing greater activity now for the Ace than before.

why did the ace forum moved to legacy section?

it is a verey active section
how to complain?
I also wanted this to be moved back to the main page. admins! please!
ya please admins move it back to the main page.. i feel like selling my device now.. really heartbreaking..
Lol
why taking it that much
Ace forum not has low activity at all
which called low activity see in galaxy fit forum thats called where second or third thread have two days agos posts
ace is not older even optimus one and x8 are much older than ace which still on main page
but they have recognize dev who update rom one in month still they called active forum
Anyway its not big deal
if you feel that bad and have free time read as much possible about development and start for your phone so you can contribute
Reasone for removing ace from main forum is to make place for new samsung device as our company realise lots device
and fit already transfered from main page so turn was our beloved ace

No point complaining. The site owners have done what they do on a regular basis. This has always happened and will always continue. Every now and then they look at which forums are busiest and they move the lower activity ones.
Its not a personal attack. Have you seen how many new high end phones have been released in the last six months around the world and how many are being sold every day? Some are more popular than others. It means nothing to be moved, as long as people keep the place alive it will be here.
If you need to be on the front page because of your insecurities buy a new phone because this forum won't be moved no matter how much anyone cries to the mods/admins/owners. Clicks mean money and they can earn more from others forums/phones with higher activity. Something has to earn money to keep the site functioning.

sadly I agree with you.. I should start learning android development I mean like from this week onward and start contributing to our community in some way.. I just graduated last week and its time to mess with android.. Nims could you direct me for some good development websites so I could start reading..
XDA's action to move GSA to "new house" more or less makes us unhappy but anyway it not affects to the fact that CyanogenMod 7.2 official release will include our devices (not nightlies as confirmed by Kolja Dummann on G+)

I think this is unfair..there are so many older and lower spec devices than SGA but still on the first page... but as long as you guys keep developing for our ace no matter where we belong to.. and I love my ace..maybe 1-2 years more before I change my phone to the new one with new technology..
I am still on my ace, even though I am planning to buy SE Xperia Neo V, I will never throw nor sell my ACE, my baby...

Me too...I dont think i will be able to part with my ace easily,Its my first Android phone,if i learned anything about Android,its because of this phone...Even if i want to change....
I dont think my father would let me buy one atleast for the next 6 months anyway
Not that changing phones regularly is a good thing,with a smartphone market like this,you really have no choice,look at Ace,when it came out.It was an awesome phone for its price,a mid-high end ranged phone...But now its sad that people call single core under 1GHz phones,low end
this news has no effect on me. i still love my ace,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Okay guys, so far I have a rooted Galaxy S II...
For christmas, I may sell my SGS2 and get a Galaxy Nexus...
Thing is, shall I wait until the SGS3 is out, or go for the Galaxy Nexus now?
What are the pros/cons of getting a GN?
What are the pros/cons of getting an SGS3?
What do you guys think would be better?
Thanks

I simply don't understand why you want to sell your S2. Reason?
I change my phone very often, I like having the new Androids when they came out

Hey guys, I searched for this, but didn't really find an answer. so here it goes...
I am upgrading my phone 9/22, I had a Samsung Infuse 4G, I wanted to get some real world opinions about the Galaxy Note. How well does it work for you? Are you happy with it? Are there any ram issues(not enough?).
I'm trying to decide between the Note and S3, I know the S3 is newer and has more ram, but I'm really leaning toward the Note.
So what say you?

I would also wait for the note 2, if you can hold out that long. If not, with all of the awesome devs here, we have most of the features that the s3 has plus the advantage of the bigger screen. So I would pick the note.

No worries, and if you decide on a Note or S3, or the Note 2, all have great support and the Communities of user are great and providing, I have been in all those threads, and as you know coming from the Infuse Community that being a great supportive Community, You will have no problem in any of these mentioned Threads/Community. IMHO
Good Luck & Thx....you might see some familiar names in all these threads mentioned above...
I have infuse and note. My co-worker has S3. Note is way better then infuse. But only 1gb ram. S3 has 2gb ram so It works better then note sometimes. Note2 will be the answer.

Hi guys,
I sold my S2 because the screen was broken but now I'm thinking about buy another one.
My doubt is, should I buy another SII or instead go for the Gnexus?
SII - > 250€
Galaxy Nexus -> 275€
Both are new phones and I have the chance to buy for a great price.
I know many of you will say "go for Nexus 4" but it isn't coming to Portugal soon and I need a phone ASAP (nexus 4 is out of stock 4 life).
I know pros and cons of both, but they look very similar and my kind of use fits the both.
My question is, with these prices, which phone would you go?
I have s2 but i'm for gnexus, why? because of larger hd screen, opensource everything, ... I buyd s2 because it was cheaper than gnex and have better graphics card oh, also, i don't like gnex because of not having memory card slot
Thanks !
I would like to have more replys!

You're not obligated to answer if you don't have anything to say, that's why you both lost a good time to be shut up
Plus, I was asking to people that might have tried both phones, maybe they could help, like they did (in the other forum), and I'm really happy I chose gnex

Well thread locked. I usually don't like these threads as it leads to, you guessed it flaming. If you ask in device forums obviously your answers will be skewed. You should never buy a device because of "he say she say" specially from a forum. The specs are more than available, the frustrations of the devices are as well.
