I just dont know which one. Its for my girl. These will be tmobile phones in this decision which will be on simple mobile.
Right now i have the lg g2x which is unlocked/rooted/running hellfire 2.2 Rom GB 2.3.3 and i love it, battery life sucks though.
What do you guys think about htc 1s vs galaxy s2? Or should we get galaxy s3?

Since you're asking for a comparison to the HTC One S, seems you're asking about phones for T-mobile USA?
This particular model of Galaxy S2 is not the model for T-mobile USA, and will only get Edge mobile data speeds on that network.
I'm guessing you want to know about the SGH-T989 .

The galaxy s2 that i am referring to is in fact a tmobile phone. Im not sure why you are saying i will only get edge? Please explain, or can someone else confirm this?

As I said, the T-mobile USA Galaxy S2 is a different model. I linked the forum for that model above.
See wikipedia.
The i9100 (which this is the forum for: look at the top of the page) doesn't have the required antenna hardware to receive 1700 mhz UTMS, which is a required band for AWS. (the other frequency bring 2100mhz) T-mobile USA uses AWS for high speed mobile data.
So, the i9100 will only get Edge on T-mobile USA's network.
But if you don't believe me, just type "i9100 t-mobile edge" into google.

Ok i get what you are saying now. You scared me for a second there. I thought you meant "this model" as in the one i was referring to. Ok well while we are on the subject, isnt there something that can be done to the phones to switch the antennas like installing a new radio or something, or is it an actual physical piece of hardware that runs off different mhz to get 2g/3g/or 4g?

It's hardware. There is nothing you or anyone can do to the i9100 to get high speed on the T-mobile USA network with that phone.
If you want a Galaxy S2 model that gets high speed on T-mobile USA's network, you want the SGH-T989. I linked the forum for it above.
And back to your original question......
Get one S
Or S3..
do make sure one S is the Qualcomm S4 not the S3 with 1.7 GHz model.
HTC making one S with older processor after S4 shortage.
Short and sweet:
Have $5.99 unlimited T-Zones. Want SGS III, and want to surf HSPA+ (on the down low, like I do currently with my int'l HTC Sensation)
TMO branded T999 out of the question ?
Any other sources for a T999 variant ( Canada maybe? ) with IMEI unknown to TMoUS ?
Can I get the ATT variant, root, install TMo modem like on the Galaxy Note?
Thanks for any help !!!
Bump for the new week - with another Q:
Does the carrier Wind Mobile in Canada use the same AWS spectrum as TMOUS? They have a SGSIII variant too...
Sorry if this is in the wrong section or has been answered I looked but couldn't find anything on this device.
Can AWS frequency work on a Korean Galaxy Note shv-e160s ?
I am with Wind Mobile in Canada they use the same frequency as T-Mobile in the USA.
I know that the AT&T GN can be made to work with AWS frequency but I am curious if the Korean version has this capability ?
I would rather not brick the phone by trying the directions for the AT&T version and it failing, so will the same instructions work ?
Is it even possible ? Can someone point me too or tell directions for this device.
Thank You.

Yes, it will work without any issue.
Info: SGS3 3G Frequency are 850/900/1900/2100 and at&t 3G frequency in US are 850/1900.
[Q] What's the Difference between the Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3" i9200 & i9205?
I saw I believe one was released May 2013 and the other June 2013
On eBay i9205 says LTE, but doesn't the i9200 have LTE also, or is that it one's international and the other is domestic USA?
Ohh and why no Galaxy Mega forum yet?
Scratch that, clicked one other link in Google and yes i9200 - International HSDPA / i9205 - LTE
Besides the LTE do the two phones have anything else different?
Mostly interested if the addition of the LTE chip on the i9205 will affect its performance/battery life compared to the i9200?
I ask this because I never buy LTE phones, never used it and don't intend to for now so no need for it,
but I cannot find the 3G i9200 anywhere in Europe to buy it. Only the LTE i9205.
If it has no performance/battery loss then I will be "forced" to buy the LTE version and be done with it.
I will really appreciated if someone can give me an answer to my concerns. Thanks.
I believe that the only different is that I9205 is with 4G technology when I9200 with 3G only.
I9200 has a FM Radio
I9205 does not.
