Vibrant 4g ? - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

I have read quite a few post on how members are semi bricking to full bricking their phones. I think one of the problems might be people are thinking this phone is a Vibrant which is not. It another galaxy variant like the epic 4g and fasinate. And should be treated as such. That's why the name is galaxy 4g and not vibrant 4g so there could be a clear distinction between the two. Also for all those who can't get them back working or traded in. If you have insurance on the device just say you had a wild night out drinking and lost it. Will cost you alittle more but when the correct pit and tar is released you will have a phone to sale to recoup some of your lost funds.

Since I couldn't get my wife a nexus s with the upgrade. I decided to go with the vibrant 4g.

I'm also interested in the g2x. I work in the wireless industry and I got a chance to play with it and its amazing. Only issue is.....what's the resale value of the ns.

G2X no doubt. It has everything I've been looking for in a phone. Vanilla Android for faster update, nVidia Tegra 2 for exclusive games, HDMI mirroring and a good camera with flash.

G2 was said to be "stock" Android but it was nothing like stock. It looks like stock, but it's not 100% stock.
But have fun.

The G2x is simply not worth it, its so bugged :S
I'll never touch that thing again...

I got the G2x... my wife got the new Samsung 4G... both are so awesome!
The 2Gx is faster since it has the dual cores... but either way, you'll love it. Go for the G2x tho if you're a gamer.
I just got the G2X and love it, I have the Vibrant T959 and then the Galaxy S 4G T959V (too many variance in names for the Galaxy S, Vibrant - sure you know can understand). Anyways not even rooted yest the G2X is an awesome phone! If I didn't get that I would have seriously gotten the 1st Vibrant T-Mobile came out with but not being 4G would have sucked but for the moment I would have been pleased.
Hope I didn't make anyone mad or offend anyone either. As you can see I did keep the T959V (4G) just to try to see if I could learn on how to improve it and help add to the positive and not negative. Hope that counts for something when reading this.

Then you should totally go with the G2X. I was disappointed with not having the internal extra memory and capabilities that go along with that and in fact was going to return the 4g but kept it and then got the G2X on Saturday, haven't even rooted it yet or really played on it and love it!
It's fun to because it is a totally different setup being LG and the 4g is to a naked eye JUST LIKE the Vibrant 3g without the space and internal memory features.
Post what you decided on and let me know what you think. You can always get the 4g to be sure and then return it. You will know the day you get it if you want it or not coming for the T959. Let me know what you do, I'm curious if it was just me or anyone else who did the same (thinking it was an upgrade) and was really disappointed with it. I didn't plan on buying it, just a impulse purchase I am so bad with those.
Do not regret for a moment the 2nd impulse purchase for a phone I don't even really need which was the G2X, that phone is awesome and there is a lot already out there for it (including flashing CWM). Good luck.

Switching to the Skyrocket?

Is anyone switching to the Skyrocket? It comes out tomorrow. I really like my Infuse but there is an update on one of my lines and my mom broke the screen on her phone. So I am thinking about giving her my Infuse and upgrading to the Skyrocket.
In your predicament, personally, I would do it
I'm getting the skyrocket but keeping my infuse.

A beast that in many ways is slower than the 1.2GHz dual core in the real sgs2 which has a ton of development since it is an international phone unlike all this north America carrier specific junk we have to deal with.
Ok so its still a beast and probably highly overclockable, I have to wonder about features like mhl though, the att sgs2 that's already out doesn't come with the adapter, will the sky rocket? I guess the infuse needs a selling point with all these super phones coming out.
I'm still thinking of between the Vivid and Skyrocket, probably Skyrocket though.
I'm not going to do the same thing I did on my Vibrant, and be an early adopter, I'm going to wait a week or 2 to see what development is like, but I truly only want root, and I can wait for everything else.
EDIT: YES! I just looked on the AT&T website, and my area is one that the SGS II (original) wasn't sold, so the Skyrocket is $149.99, and the Vivid is $99.99 for me..
Guess I'll be getting one of the 2. xD
Naw, its a SnapDragon.
Just flashed my phone from MIUI back to stock, ready with the box and everything to go switch out my infuse first thing tomorrow for the Skyrocket!

Debating. I am going to go today to take a look at it if the store has them and decide. Will be keeping my Infuse either way and not using my upgrade.

Exactly 35 days after using my second upgrade on an Xperia Play, I find out AT&T is releasing a motherload of new phones. This is my face right now.

Oh well, It will be interesting to see how these new phones fare! Plus I still have my infuse! ^_^
If I can get Bestbuy to price match at $150 im in. I do not see it for that price anywhere right now though.
Gave infuse to my stepson, skyrocket in-hand from Best Buy. $249.99 DFW

Thunderbolt Replacemet

Hey all,
I have a Thunderbolt that I got the day before they killed unlimited data, and I have had so much trouble with it. Long story short, they have offered me a Razr or a Rezound as a replacemet. I'm much more interested in the Nexus, but they say that Nexus's discount codes are avalible yet.
So I don't really love the idea of waiting for 4 months for ICS on the Razr, not having a replacable battery, and huge bezels. And the Rezound is interesting, and feels a lot faster and smoother than the Razr, but after my experience with the Thunderbolt, not sure I am totally ready to go back. And I guess the most important thing is that the dev community will be much more focused on the Nexus, which coumpounds the ICS wait
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium
I had a Tbolt longer than all the other phones I had, which by the way makes 15 to date. The Tbolt with CM 7 is an unstoppable force. I have the Galaxy Nexus and its cool, but the Tbolt is still faster ATM and rock solid.
Don't judge a phone by it's stockness, Rzr is moto and moto is locked down. Take it back and get the Nexus.
You said yourself they will not replace your Thunderbolt with the just released Nexus. So either take a replacement or keep the Thunderbolt.
Sent from my HTC ThunderBolt using xda premium
Why not ask for a new out of the box thunderbolt? Not a refurbished one.
Did you ever get this? I had a Verizon rep say they'd send me a Rezound but then their supervisor turned around and denied it. They said they could only send me a Charge or an LG Revolution since they were in the same class or something.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
I was in the VZW store the other day looking at the galaxy, the guy that helped me said his wife has the galaxy and will be returning it cuz it gets horrible 4g (in salt lake anyway). He had the Rezound and said he loves it. Anyway, where do I get the cm7 ROM? Not trying to steel this thread

Just a Galaxy Infuse Spec photo

I created this photo, its plain and simple. What do you think?
Not true.
You can get paid apps free regardless if its rooted or not, how ever if you do like the app you should buy it and support the dev...if everyone illegally downloaded things then devs would never push out updates...
And no one gets 21mb/s down on the infuse...att advertises up to 21 mb but you won't even get close...21mb/s down as LTE average speeds, I had an infuse and would get 6mb/s...got my LTE vivid and I get 23mb/s
Other than those two...is say its a pretty decent spec sheet...all though not sure why you made it??? I quick google search will tell you everything and more about this phone

The infuse is no way better than the s2. You must have never owned an s2 because mine eats infuses for lunch.
Not bigger either. My s2 skyrocket has the same screen.

Very true. I own both a Galaxy s2 Skyrocket and an Infuse and the reason I got the skyrocket (for non-contract price) is because it is better than the infuse and that still stands true.

Nothing. If you already own it, you're fine. It just means, if its granted that is, no more Skyrockets will be allowed to be imported into the states. Retailers will be allowed to sell off their remaining stock, but their stock won't be replenished.

How about an insured owner that puts in a claim for a new rocket? That's the scenario that worries me if the injunction goes through
Still nothing. Insurance claims would still be honored. This would only be for new sales.
There's a slight difference, if the phone is discontinued they will provide you with a similar or upgraded phone.
This happened to 1 of the phones on my account. Put in a claim to find out they couldn't replace it with the same model but they sent me the upgraded model free of charge and was still able to keep my original upgrade date which was 6 months later.

That's what I just had in mind based on the posts above. Doubt this will go through though. Perhaps a rushed JB build though.

If this goes through, I'm literally going to explode. I know Samsung will once again top Apple in the bear future. When you see an apple fan boy trying to prove that iPhones are better he/she says "just wait for the iPhone 5", but we know it won't take Samsung very long to top it. Apple makes phones only about once every two years. And the "new" phone is usually just the same phone you already had, just in a different color/with one or two additional non-groundbreaking features. Samsung is always putting out new phones, and if Samsung doesn't beat apple then HTC or Motorola will. Apple's flaw is making the same phone over ans over again so when the newest one comes out your old one is soon rendered inferior. When Samsung started making the LTE GS2, the standard GS2 still was just as durable. Samsung made the S3, and the S2 certainly isn't surpassed by it. And Samsung has a variety of phones available. With apple you only get the 1, 2, 3, or 4, but why would you get an older model iPhone? The newest one is exactly the same with an improved display and is slightly thinner.
Sorry for the rant, but this whole Apple suit has had me pissed off.

This will be overturned. The foreman was a patent holder: should not have been selected.
They also didn't even read the instructions. The damages were calculated because they wanted to punish Samsung, not compensate Apple.
Also, read up on this one court case... I can't remember the name right now. It's Someone v Borland.
