I was just wondering if this forum is for the sgs2 or the skyrocket???
I come here for information on the ogsgs aswell as others I'm sure, and I'm finding more topics about a phone I can care less about! Just want to be clear is all...

No it doesn't.
I want to know opinions on Skyrocket vs SGS2? I am in my return window but not sure which phone is better. I believe the exynos processor is the best on the market, so will the 1.5 processor in this be better or worse? Thanks

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.

We understand......and we are saying we dont care in the nicest way Possible
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.

I believe I said "I don't". What's the point of having device specific forums to discuss a whole other device in that forum unless its for comparative reasons. Most of such topics are the same as the last. According to the forum rules I read search is one of the first options before posting. Most of the skyrocket topics are all saying or asking the same questions...

So tired of the processor debate... the reality of it is.. in 2-4 months time, there will be another phone with a better processor; since S4 and OMAP4 series are all slated for Feb.
Can we just say and leave it as is, "Buy the phone that suits YOUR OWN needs".
What about this?
So we shouldn't be argue any more...

Ok fine!
You guys don't wanna see this kind of posts.
It is gone as you wanted.
No one can make you choose which one to use but yourself! Why the need to make another unnecessary post regarding this subject is beyond me. The i777 has a 90-95 commonality between it and the i9100 OG SGS2 meaning roms and such are generally very simple to port over. The developers section for the i777 is much, much more established than the i727SR.
If you've got LTE in your area and you like your battery to zap in a few hours than by all means get it. Studies and articles are everywhere on the internet about how the hardware in our i777 far surpasses that which is in the skyrocket.
You noobs need to learn to use the search function.. these are all SGS2i777 vs the SkyRocket..

The real answer is up to you. It's subjective. The best way to find out is to use both of them. I know this probably doesn't help much...

True..
I wish I had friends on AT&T with LTE. Many have moved on to Verizon, or using cheaper provider (coverage is worse than AT&T, but at least cheaper).
another one of these threads...
At least he had the decency to end the thread before things got out of hand.

I came to the GSII from the Skyrocket, the SR is a great phone and is lightning fast ( i was in LTE) but the screen lines was a killer for me.
We need a sticky about these Skyrocket or Galaxy S II threads. There is a new one every time I look.

Guys I would like your opinion. Should I trade my s 2 for a note?? It will be a simple trade no money involved? Should I do this is the note better?
Go ask in the Note forum. How would we know ? We're SGS2 owners, remember ? #duh
If you can carry it have have large pockets and its not your primary phone, then yes
But when its your primary phone then its too big to take it everywhere and answering phone calls in public looks very weird
As no money is involved I'd say yes. It's a lovely phone if you can get used to the size. Played with it many times and it's lovely. The screen size is excellent and doesn't seem that big due to its slimness.
The s-pen is quite useful. And development seems good as well.

If I had this offer I would do it without hesitation. Its just a bigger SG2, bigger battery and its a really nice experience especially looking at web sites with the bigger screen. Plus the s pen I say do it.
i would do it, its simple - bigger screen and better resolution
You won't regret, do it. And too bad nobody asks me to trade
If you happen to you has used the large size of the Note then takes!
I would keep the S2.
Dewd if u will buy note u cnt tk it with u at all places ... Cuz its screen is to big.. N it will be hard 4 u to take it with u all the time when u go out...

That was sarcasm intended for the member who posted above him.
Anyway, I guess everyone has answered it already. Check out the Note personally and get a feel of it. If you don't mind the size and are comfortable, than definitely go for the trade.
Thanks everyone btw how do I close the thread?

Sorry my friend but i don't agree,,,,, i have both the phones and i promise u , once after using the note for a few days , i am starting to think that this is the siez a smart phone out to be of ,,,trust me the experience is just better with it ,,,
yes awsum pro ;,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, yes do 1t 4 u yes ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I agree with most who posted here, as I have a friend who has one and am thinking of getting one myself (but want to wait couple more months to see what other new phones coming).
You have to ask yourself What you want to use it for?!
I do a few jobs and one of them is graphics design. Something like that can be useful to me, when I have an idea from out of the blue and want to do a quick mockup.
- or someone in business who answers many emails might like more space.
However - I also think the price of it is a bit high (and I'm not short on money). Here in Asia, can get myself a tab/pad for even cheaper... which will give me better use for what I need.
Greetings, everyone. As you can see, I'm from the One X forums, and I have come in peace. I came here for one reason only, to ask the Galaxy S3 users of their experiences, but please don't make it long. But don't misunderstand me as I am loving my HOX, reaches 5+ hours od screen time with normal to a bit hard usage too. Anyways, have you ever, even for just a few moments, had a feeling of doubt and regret after using your phones for a time? I'm sking because I feel this sometimes too, and am asking myself whether to buy an S3 or not. Btw, please don't be offensive. I tried to be as polite as I could.

I'm not being rude but there are multiple threads where you can join the debate on which is best....in general section. But I can assure you that the whole thing just goes round and round in circles and you will end up feeling suicidal after a while.
And this thread is bound to attract some moderate level of barbequeing! Good luck :beer:

I see, but the whole point that I wanted to point out was to simply ask whether for just a moment, has anyone felt, even if it's just a tiny little feeling of doubt or regret after some time with their devices. A simple yes or no could suffice. But HONESTY must be at hand, too. I would apologize however if some of you would just find this useless and start saying how the S3 is better. A yes or no is all I need, I would do the counting myself. But some few explanations of your answer would also be great

I don't regret coming to the S3 from the One X except the One X is a better looking device imo

I love my S3 and it`s bleeding fast but the screen of the HOX is better than ours. That said the S3 has much better batterylife, removable battery, sdcard slot, better cpu as said and i like touchwizz better than sense, alltough i don`t use ( Nova Prime). I have had the HOX also so i can compare i think. Both are good devices with their pros and cons.
I like HTC indeed i had a HD2 probably the most hacked and "liked" phone ever on XDA, the One X is indeed almost on a par with this phone but no removable battery or no micro sd card facility meant i could not consider it over the Galaxy S3 and coming from an Galaxy S2 i was always gonna get the Galaxy S3.
I'm running Supernexus stable Jelly Bean on my Galaxy S3 and it is blazing fast and super smooth, too early to post about battery life as i only flashed it yesterday but when i had Android Revolution and CheckRom i could too get over 5 hours screen on time.
To conclude i would say the top 2 smartphones on the market in order are
1 - Samsung Galaxy S3
2 - HTC One X
My brother is having issues with his HTC one X while my SGS3 is fine as ever. Does that make you think otherwise?

Not really, but I'm actually browsing some stores here in my area with a Gs3 already I might actually buy one too, thanks for all those who replied btw. That was all I needed, and thank you very much for not starting a fight.

Well the s3 is my first ever smartphone. it feels a lot more plasticky than the s2 and the back cover feels like its gona break every time i need to pull the battery. my friends love the take picture while you shoot video feature.
At first I was shocked by the battery life since i was used to my nokia mobiles lasting upto 3 days with a single charge.
I got over this quickly as i began to realize the s3 is actually a powerful mini pc. if ur a heavy user it makes complete sense to buy a spare battery.
The stock rom was slooooow. full of bloatware. ram management could give me at best 190MB. when i realized that in addition to this i couldnt install firewalls that was the last straw.
I came to xda and studied the rooting process, and eventually installed cyanogenmod 9 on it. boots take just as long but i now get upto 420mb free ram. i was a bit turned off by the 'no camera flash, no fm, no hdmi' feature (or lack thereof) of the mod but got over this the moment the boot animation played out. besides the camera is fixed in the new nightlies, i can use spirit fm and i had hdmi out in my last 2 phones n never bothered to use it.
I'm never going back!!!
Hi guys, i had posted this on General and never got a response so posting on the Q&A.
The question i have, more like need input to help me decide, currently i am using a Nexus One and its time i upgrade, I was hoping to land a Nexus 4 but with the way the PlayStore kept giving delays i see no hope of getting one soon unless i pay more and buy from eBay, Therefore i am thinking should i just go for the Galaxy Nexus or which other model would you recommend? My price range is Max 400$, unlocked and which i can play around with it by flashing new ROM's and enjoy the open source of Android.
Thanks in-advance
S3, note2 ( sorry I dunno how much they wud cost there)
