Have anyone tried one of these here? Do they feel nice? Battery lasts as long as an OEM? Do they look too bulky? Makes the phone too thick? Thats one of the reasons why i haven't bought an extender battery, i hate how the phone looks with an extender battery. I can't find much feedback on internet for the GS2 with that case. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks.

Universal for all GS2's ?
No thanks. wont fit correctly. gs2's are NOT the same size. the difference is minimal, but with cases, even a mm difference will cause an improper fit.

Hmm. Where does it says universal? It says i777, i9100 & i9103. Which to my knowledge, they are the same size...
Another concern that i have is that the thing won't cause more heat, because an external battery causing heat plus an internal one causing more heat...well, you see where im going.

Man, u just answered ur own question about the whole universal thing. And he just told u that there is a size difference. Not a huge difference, but enough to make cases not fit the phones.
(⊙＿⊙)
I see. By universal i thought he meant ALL GS2, which includes Skyrocket and Hercules.
Anyway, difference is that the i777 is .4mm thicker and .7mm taller. Acording to GSMArena.

The others arent GS2's IMO. just a marketing scheme from samsung to sell more. They have a ****ty processor.
but yes. same place I go for my info.
Case wont work. or maybe it will on ours, and not the others.

Lol. Being there. Just posted in a entry on Android Central about "my" Atrix 4G being stuck on GB forever, but i don't have the phone anymore. Got a little passionate there.
So you guys think it wont work? Is there an extended battery that wont require an "extended" battery door?

I wouldnt try it unless they have a very open return policy. Hell even then, Im not a fan of "universal"
And no, for an extended battery, the battery has to be larger, for that will require another door.
unless someone has found a way to pack the cells tighter without straining the battery. That IDK. but I will say that batteries have came along way in the recent years.
Check out LiPo batteries if your curious. tho there not for phones yet.

May i ask why?
Just thought i'd chime in on this after browsing through the threads. I've had the opportunity on 2 separate occasions to compare the ATT GS2 and International GS2 side by side with several different cases. I live in the US and I have the i777.
First occasion I was in Venice, Italy. was in a Ferrari shop and found an awesome flip case for my GS2. was concerned about it fitting. They let me take it out and test it first. The employee had the intn'l GS2. They both fit into this case exactly the same. It was a snap in. I bought the case. it's very nice. Ferrari leather and logo, smells nice (lol!)
Also, I am a teacher. This year I have an exchange student from Germany that has the International. Again, I compared cases and phones. They all fit identically. I have not see this case in person, but if I thought I needed it, the worry of it fitting would not deter me from getting it.
my two cents.

We have a development forum, which shouldn't be cluttered with the random crap being thrown out there right now .
I would without a doubt go for the Og GS2. The CPU chip set is the major gain on going with it, although the Skyrocket does have a minor gain on speed, the chip used is garbage compared to the OG.

with a smile.
Had mine for a day. No noticeable lag and ran 5 straight quadrant scores over 3100. Dev support will not be as strong as og but to reiterate other posts, if you're in an LTE market it is worth consideration. I got mine for only 99.99 so to me it was a steal. Coming from the i777, noticeable screen quality difference especially in colors at low brightness and pixelated small images. Zoom and swiping is less smooth but not noticeable unless you had the i777. Battery drains slightly faster as well but the tradeoff is lte speed. If you are in a market with LTE, worth a look...otherwise hands down i777

So... the "garbage chip" is faster? I agree that it's not as elegant in design as the OGS2, but it benchmark's just fine and has a much higher network speed. (Even without a custom kernel to improve on it yet.) It's also much higher on the CPU INT benchmark's, which impacts the majority of applications. I'm liking mine just fine and I've used both phones now.

Has anyone gotten a look at the Best Buy case that comes free with the Note pre-order?
I was wondering if there is a screen protector included. I'm going to assume there is none unless someone has seen one.
Assuming it's the same as the international (which I believe it is), I don't see a screen protector.

Best Buy rep
I stopped by best buy and asked the rep if the case would support NFC she looked at me like a deer in headlights and had no idea what NFC was she got another rep and asked him and he said NFC is on the Note but does not work yet I I told him I knew that already and wanted to know if the free case worked with NFC since the antenna for it is on the back of the case that comes with it he had no idea and asked his manager 15mins later the manager came out and said he had no idea yet he would think it would but could not say for sure since they aren't here yet he tried to find more info on his computer but found nothing so Best Buy doesn't even know yet the free case isn't turning out to be that much of a plus anymore.
The fact it's a flip case basically eliminated any interest I might have had in the BB deal for the Note. I can understand having a flip case for a tablet....but for a phone, I would find it as a hassle. I'm still gonna settle for a regular case, most likely a TPU one.

We got no info on the actual flip case from corporate. It was a deal struck with samsung and bby corporate and has nothing to do with the retail level associates. Right now they are sitting in a warehouse waiting for distribution. Im sure they will be in before release. If they are there by wednesday I can give everyone a definite answer. After that Im on vacation
I doubt these were made for the ATT model. If they are the ones that were already made, it will not work as the nfc is not in the back like the ATT model.
One the bright side it was free and nfc is not yet enabled.

I played with one at AT&T for about 20 minutes today and I really didn't like the flip case on it. It felt very cheap. I've played with another one from someone's international Note and it was much sturdier. I hope the one Best Buy gives out is more solid, but I got a feeling its not.

Felt like cheap cardboard to me. Like I could have easily bent or snapped it. The one I played with for the international note had hard plastic and looked nice as well. Hopefully the best buy one will be like the international one and not the cheap crap I saw at the AT&T store.
AT&T currently doesn't have a phone that is powerful as the OG Galaxy SII. Sure there is the Note and SkyRocket but they aren't as powerful. I would like to know if this phone is still selling strong. I just bought one. But anyway, this seems to be the best phone AT&T has ever had. Maybe the iPhone 4s comes in second? What do you think?

Seems that everyone else doesn't want to play nice so I'll add my own opinion. I think that the only phone that will be able to give our phone a decent challenge will be the HTC One X when it comes to AT&T supposedly in April. It looks to be a pretty nice phone, hopefully AT&T doesn't mangle it too bad.

Will agree with this one, the only problem some of the other phones that AT&T carries is that they simply bloat them to death and it kind of gives the phones a bad rap when reviewed by alot of the review sites.
Would love to see a review where the majority of the phones are benched/reviewed side by side with stock firmware/rom's vs rooted/custom rom's
I came from a Motorola Atrix to this and it was a definite upgrade. Great phone, and imo atleast for NOW, its the best. I'm sure something will come along soon and trump it, but till then, we're the kings of the mountain.

It does look like a nice phone, and I would have probably gotten it as a 2nd phone if it had a micro sd slot. the S4 chip seems impressive, but I'm sure the next exynos chip will crush it though once it's released
Coming from HTC Dream (G1), it is a step up for me for SGSII. But of couse, AT&T screwed it up with how they managed this device (not reconized it as 4G..DUH!!!). HTC One X seem to be the up to the task to match up to SGSII. But then we'll have to see.
Well coming from an iPhone and inspire this way way way better then any phone I have ever seen att carry.like mention before the HTC one XL may be the only phone to challenge this one(maybe the rumored galaxy s3 ) but not being able to remove the battery is one of its downfalls .
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
Yeah the One X looks like the first HTC phone in a while that could hold up against the Samsung.
The GS III could be earlier this year than last year. If the att variant is as close to the international as the i777 was to the i9100, then the One X will be back-seated quick.
But, the Captivate is still pretty strong after two years. Heck, they had ICS before we did. I would guess the i777 will continue to be popular for about the same timeframe, 2 years.

"Powerful" is in the eye of the beholder. I love my GSII, it is way snappy, but if I am in the bay area (which I am pretty regularly) I cant take advantage of the LTE there. All depends on what you value.

Just what he says, with the SGS2 he can't take advantage of the LTE network. You need a Skyrocket for that.

The SD card slot isn't too big of a deal to me because of the fact that the phone should be coming with a 32GB internal storage which is what my S2 has with the SD card added. The non removable battery could be more of a problem if it has the typical HTC battery life. If I didn't have my S2 right now and was ready for an upgrade I'd definitely give the One X a chance.
Just read the specs on HTC One, unless I missed something, it looks like HTC made the display .2" bigger than the GSGII Skyrocket just so they don't look like they are behind Samsung. Ya it is a nice phone but not nice enough to leave SGSII.
El Diablo just officially turned on LTE for my part of Ohio. (I've had it on my 900 since day one, with fantastic speeds.) SGS3 feels like a disappointment, it feels like a beefier Nexus. I have one of those bolted to my HDTV.
This guy just really intrigues me. I'm afraid of a refresh though. I hate GB and those damn buttons on the bottom. But. I'm bored. Thoughts?
Get a note?
Should you get a Note? I don't have LTE where I live and more than likely won't until 2090. But there are sooooo many other things I love about my phone.

If you're afraid of a refresh, you'll never buy anything, because the next best thing is always just around the corner. Forget what might be coming (especially if they haven't announced anything about it) and get what you think is going to work for you.
I personally like the buttons, but I can see how some wouldn't. Anyway, they are easy to live with.
Finally ... GB. Haven't run GB in weeks. There's a couple very stable ICS roms out there for the flashing. I wouldn't even bother going back to GB at this point.
Go to the store and try the demo. If you like it, walk out with one. If not, get the one x.

yeah, I thought that was pretty silly too..
I honestly wouldn't, I feel like this phone is way too big and not very practical. There are great ROMs out there and the phone does have some bright points but I would much rather have a Nexus or something similar.
I should say I work out a lot and the Note has not been good for me in those regards, it's just too big to be comfortable. Also I have a lot of signal issues with this phone that have made me less than happy with it.
Just my experience though...
Stock modem is best for signal. If not, yours your service provider.

If you have to ask then your not worthy
If you needs us to answer for you then don't buy a Note. The only thing that is different that won't be on the SG3 is bigger screen and S-pen. So just wait for the SG3.

I "need" food and water to survive, not for you tell me what to do. The point of this thread is to happily listen to the various opinions posted, post my thanks for those posters for sharing valuable time, and decide, in time, what my next purchase is.
And the more I think on your post the more it infuriates the crap out of me. I'm extraordinarily curious as to what makes one "worthy" of a Note? Who appointed you the bestower of "worthiness" to the members of these forums. We were having such a nice discussion before you...
You know? I think it's time for a couple days off from the old XDA. Thanks much to everyone else who took the time to post, I appreciate it. We can close this one off.

Wow, I want some of whatever you are having.
Sure the "need" thing is arguably off-putting. But "worthy"? Did I miss an edit on the post that sent you off?
Eh, bottom line is what are your priorities? Don't think I saw what you were looking for in the original post. For me, I'd still have something with a real qwerty keyboard. I can't type with an iPhone to this date as it is just too small. When the Streak showed up, it was the first device with no physical keyboard I ever could deal with. The Note is the next step. As a bonus, it is the first Android device I ever saw or used that rivaled the ease of use of an iPhone (keyboard notwithstanding). Also the first device I had that weaned many of my iSheep friends away from the dark side. So far, all the converts are happy too. From lauding screen size, to app store choices, to not being annoyed about the speed of the device, they have all been happy.
So, what are you looking for?
As others have alluded to, posting something like this on the Note forum will yield predictably positive responses. Honestly, in this forum its approached i-Fan-like levels of blind following and I was surprised to see someone suggesting you not get it.
Am I happy with mine? Oh, hell yeah. Would I go to anything else? Um, nope. Unless the Note 2 ever shows up, and does something so much better than this thing. I'm currently looking to get a backup one, just in case. Even with as hard as Samsung is pushing this thing, the size isn't for most... I won't hold my breath (despite 5 million sold) that this becomes as popular as the iSheeplephone. I've got 2 Streaks on the shelf for the same reason.... Love the form factor.
I've been thinking about the Note for a while now. I tried to make a Pros/Cons list on whether to buy one or not, and ended up being a draw. Currently I've got a Galaxy Nexus.
I love the HUGE Screen, but it's still very "Samsung-y".
I like the big battery, but just bought an extended battery on my Nexus.
The Camera is really good, but not as quick as the one on my Nexus.
If I buy it, I'll have to extend my contract for 3 years, If I don't, I don't extend my contract.
There seems to be a counterpoint to every point in its favour.
All smart ass comments aside this is the best phone I've ever owned.

I was really up in the air about getting my note, I spent weeks debating it. Eventually I said screw it, I play around on my tiny galaxy S all day long -- the big screen will be so much better, so I got one and the big screen was so much better.
and I lived happily ever after.
Hello all. Got my Amaze on launch day. Been a great phone but tired of the limitations all the devs face. No AOKP. No CM. Just so many things standing in their way too. I want to move on to another device that has greater support in the dev community. I would include two cases. One is a D30 and the other a clear with white argyle (has yellowed some) and of course the charger. The condition is 10\10 zero wrong with it. White is whitey white. Screen has no scratches/blemishes. NEVER been dropped (knock on wood)What should my asking price be??? Also is anyone interested? Trades would be considered but no promises.
Also I am currently running ICS roms with 4EXT recovery and S-off.
toss a picture up man
I'm away from all other devices with a Camera at the moment
Standing By
If only had I seen this early, just bought a used one, a few scratches on the cover, but I got a new cover to replace it with, just too lazy to s-off it since I already s-offed my old one, lol.
I'd check on Craigslist to get a feel for the current asking price.
It's different prices for different markets. Selling online "can" be a hassle.
I honestly prefer cash in hand unless it's friends.
The cases are a + which means you could ask for a bit more, but someone could just opt to not buy the cases...in which case you'd have to options.
Lower the price and exclude the cases or decline the offer altogether.
I suggest figuring out the lowest you'd take for the phone first. Then figure out what you'd ACTUALLY like to get for it, then ask a bit above it because of the cases.
That way when you lower the price to exclude the cases it's right where you want it to be at.
You get what you want, and they feel like they got a good deal.
Just some suggestions. Hope it helps. Good luck.

Seriously, my fiance's Sensation is so much frikkin better with all the dev support. She benches higher, battery is smaller and lasts longer than mine. The Amaze just hit at a weird time. It has great hardware but not available in many markets and has some goofy drivers that screw the kernal development up.

I don't care if the sensation had nexusone development... That phone isn't even close to what the amaze is...
A cellular device is a tool... If all u use your tool for is to attempt to improve ur tool, then ur tool is junk to begin with lol.
The object of a phone is NOT to have a new rom to flash every day...
To answer your question... 250-300

Just for your information, got offers of 290ish pretty consistently.
Traded the Amaze for a Sensation plus 100 bucks though. Pretty good deal if you ask me.
Farewell Amaze users. Good luck
You should have tried SPeed ROM 5.0, it has a few CM9 components on it and is what keeps me from going back to my sensation

$250?
Would you sell your d30 case separately? Also contact sandvoid from general chat he definitely wants this

Honestly they go for about 20$ online, I have it with the black amaze, and you can't really see much of the trim of the phone. If I were you I would only pay about 10 dollars.
