Who's staying with the infuse?

When and if the galaxy s2 comes out, are you staying with the infuse or buying the GS2?
Just curious if anyone likes their infuse that much.

Bigger display and better sound chip = staying with the Infuse

im staying with it for now. until a phone that i see is actually worth it. i got my eyes on 2 ATM Optimis 3D and the Nexus 4G

Infuse for sure. There's no way I could go back to a smaller screen, and I haven't had ANY performance issues that would make me yearn for the battery draining dual core.

Any link to read on the difference of the sound chip? Or could you explain? Thanks.

Considering I'd have to pay full price for the GS2 - staying with the Infuse.
I have yet to see anything that really needs that second core, and the display of the Infuse is GORGEOUS.

Running the Infused ROM, on this screen, is rapture. I don't think I'll switch phones until the Infuse 2. I came from an iPhone 4, with a Nexus One before that, and neither can compare. All the GS2 would do for me is downsize my screen with no immediate performance benefit (because of Infused ROM, with VooDoo lag fix).

I was thinking about it. But I'm really liking this phone, and not really knowing when the hell they're bringing it stateside, I'm perfectly happy with the infuse, especially on the infused rom

Since I am one of those who only upgrade when I can get it at a discount, I'll be using the infuse for then next like 14 months or so until AT&T says I'm due for an upgrade. I like new phones, but not enough to pay full retail for them.

I had every intention of taking this back as soon they made an anouncement about the gs2 coming out. Then I played around with it for a day or so and even though the battery bothers me, I can't give this phone up. Its easily the best I've ever had.

Have an IP4 and a Dell Streak....Infuse hits the sweet spot.

I am keeping
Gingerbread around the corner and this thing is going to fly.
I am keeping.

I'm keeping it love this phone n the screen size yea I can't pick up a smaller phone lol

Keeper here too. Love this phone.

SGSIII should be out by the time the contract is up

Def.a keeper..as said many times biger screen better audio chip.. Now if att.gs2 has 4.5 and wolfson chip? This will be on craigs list the day i can buy it

I'm just curious as to how much samsung hurt their own sg2 sales by putting this one out lol...at least att sales anyway. I know it'll be on more than one carrier.

look up supercurio on twitter.
the sgs2 has a yamaha audio chip, it's not bad but somehow in the implementation they have a noise issue, clicking and popping with volume and eq changes and such.
many sgs's and trhe infuse have a wolfson chip, not only is wolfson a great chip the manufacturer was very cooperative with supercuio in providing the sources and drivers.

I got the Infuse with a new contract on 6/2 so unless a better phone comes out in the next week or so when I'm still able to return it, I'm sticking with it. I love this phone and don't really see a point in switching.

What am I missing - Galaxy SII

I don't get what I am so suppose to be in love with when it comes to the SII vs Infuse 4g.
Now I am strictly comparing the US Specced SII (european I suppose as well since it is the same) vs Infuse 4g.
The infuse has a bigger screen and bigger battery.
The S2 has dual core and a small battery and smaller screen.
So I am going to get dual core eating monster with a smaller battery? Battery life on the Infuse is OK, good, but nothing crazy. The S2 must be awful?
Now if we were getting the 1.5ghz dual core with some form of LTE I could see a little more attraction.
personally though I'll be olding off for something better.

Dual core
1 gig of ram
It's only slightly smaller - actually feels better in your hand.
Gingerbread 2.3.4 from the carrier
Better GPS lock
I'm still wondering if it has the chip needed for voodoo sound though...

It's not a huge difference but you get gingerbread out the box, touchwiz 4.0, dual core, 1080p recording, hdmi(infuse as well), thx soluscado totally slipped my mind, etc. The infuse is ok but i'm probably getting rid of mine. The checkered loading is driving me crazy.

I agree with the OP. The dual core proc seems like a "meh" addition, especially considering the battery trade-off. I just don't use TouchWiz anyway, so that's irrelevant. The bigger screen is a BIG deal to me, and any video I take with my phone is displayed on my phone, so 1080p recording is irrelevant. I'm pretty sure you get HDMI out on the Infuse as well, but I have no use for that either. And the Gingerbread enhancements are so minor (to me) that I really couldn't care less whether it's available OOB or not.

What you said.

Yea no point. I'll stick with my infuse until samsung releases an lte phone on att like ours or the s2. Or wait for googles next phone and hope that is lte as well.
Dual core is not enough reason to upgrade, I want real 4g speeds.
Infuse running Serendipity VII

If the GPS chip is better than that of the infuse then I'm switching. I use the GPS more than anything else on the phone and that is a deal breaker for me. If the infuse had a perfect working GPS, I'd take it over the s2 anyday.

The battery life on the sgs2 i don't thinks all that bad. The battery.2 inch screen difference i hardly notice, gb is awesome. Mines yet to show any sign of lag at all. I haven't even touched the infuse since i got the sgs2. Once gb comes out ill use it. Until then though ill stick with gb and my dual core .

I know this topic has come up a few times in the month or so I've owned my infuse and watched these forums, and I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering if it's worth the switch to the AT&T-branded SGSII. Honestly the thing I'd have wanted most from the European SGSII was the physical Home button, but that didn't make it over here (needs more patent litigation).
I do agree that the .2" off the screen is actually a bonus; 4.3" screens feel a lot nicer when using to chat--somehow the AT&T SGSII is more than .2" off in both dimensions (4.96" x 2.60" vs. 5.2" x 2.8" according to Samsung). Still, a fifth of an inch either way isn't a deal-breaker for me either way.
The dual core SGSII processor is obviously the big difference, and I have yet to see anyone post a compelling, non-anecdotal reason to have a second core on a phone. I don't know many people who have felt their Infuse was insufficiently responsive, and no game I've run has had any noticeable lag on the Infuse, though my experience is hardly extensive.
Does anyone know how much RAM the AT&T SGSII has? If it had the full gig that the Euro version has, that'd also be a nice bonus, as I have managed to fill up the sub-half-gig that the Infuse has available.
The last feature I think deserves mention is NFC, which the ATT SGSII does have, reportedly. Not that I really expect to be paying by NFC any time soon, but what are we if not nerds who want more features on our phones?

There isn't a single thing that the Infuse beats the SGS II in. It ties in a few places like camera, but that's it. The SGS II is the best Android phone in existence, and the Infuse probably wouldn't have even been the best of 2010.

I don't think i can agree with that. I havent yet used one, but i cam say that having the largest and brightest display on the market is a huge plus for me. Regardless of whether it may seem like a better deal, i feel that the sgs2 is basically a smaller infuse. It looks the same and does all the same things. Really can't count gb as a plus either since we already have it on the infuse and an official version by the time the sgs2 is readily available to most. I can't see any advantage to 1080p either since it will just eat up more of that inferior battery. Just my 2 cents.
Edit: on top of all that, i don't know why u said 2010? you meant 2011? even if that was so i find that hard tp believe also. Considering that feature for feature, the Infuse was the best overall android device you could buy here in the U.S. when it was released. That said, the only real reason the Infuse hasn't out sold the competition is the lack of hype behind it and a very quiet release by Samsung. Quite unlike the sgs2 which is released first in their most local market. It obviously is pointed towards the more general technophile audience. The infuse i feel was directed towards the huge media phone freaks.

[Q] Should I buy the Skyrocket?

I have a Motorola Atrix right now and was looking to buy the Skyrocket. I had the Samsung Captivate and really loved Samsung's Android devices.
Some questions I have about the phone:
-The Galaxy Nexus has a 720p screen, since the Skyrocket only has a WVGA screen, does that mean less icons on the screen?
-We don't have LTE in Seattle yet, but how is the battery life while on HSPA? And how is it on LTE?
-Since the processor that is in the Galaxy S II isn't compatible with LTE, is Qualcomm's dual-core as fast and smooth?
-Is the camera take good pictures, and is the video quality good?
Thanks for those who help!

I get 24-28+ hours on my LTE..
Snapdragon is more than capable for anybody's needs.. if all you want to do is do benchmarks, quadrants and play games all day.. Exynos is better. But we are in the real world so....
Camera is awesome.. this phone is awesome.. buy the phone and have fun.

Chubby_Skunk, I remember you from the Atrix forums . LTE is the way to go, impressive when you're under coverage. The battery life is great even on the Vivid. I went for the Vivid, the screen is the same qHD as the Atrix.

I was going to go for the Vivid until I read reviews about it....
So I wanted the Galaxy S II and the Skyrocket seems like i'd be to big with the 4.5" screen and the AT&T GSII seems nice with the 4.3" screen.
Is there much of a noticeable difference between the 4.3" and 4.5"? it's only.2" bigger.

Is not that big of a difference (size wize), but I would go for the Skyrocket, is newer and have LTE. Make sure you read first what users are saying about the screen though, I've heard there are some pretty bad batches out there.

Appartently some people are saying the "screen" is not good...
I don't have any issues, nor do any of the 10 buddies of mine who own the same phone..

I was skeptical about switching from iPhone 4 to the Skyrocket due to its enormous size difference. After using for a day or two, I got used to it and the 4.5 inch screen really made a difference for me. However if you're switching from an OGS2, then it won't be that big of a difference but still good.

Girlfriend has the 4s, and she doesnt need to ask siri which is a better phone. i have had both att gs2's. The skyrocket is faster but the other is more refined. i like them both, but like skyrock speed

hey, my dad actually has the iphone 4 and he says all the time "hey whats that on your phone" because this phone is just so capable. I came a Sony arc and the speed alone should be enough to get this phone

I'm impressed.
May I ask what ROM you are using that achieves this battery life?

I have the Skyrocket and overall I think I made a mistake getting it.
** The skyrocket is a hastily put together phone. The plain SGS II is actually a better built phone. Even the Captivate was a much better built phone.
**The only reason for the Skyrocket hardware is to enable LTE for AT&T. The plain SGS II gives you 4G which should be more than enough, since LTE IS NOT AVAILABLE at most areas.
** The plain SGS II has far superior screen resolution.
** The exynos processor in plain SGS II even at 1.2 GHz is so much better.
** Unless you ABSOLUTELY want LTE, Skyrocket has not shattering advantage.
** The Skyrocket HD of course is a different question altogether.
** AND the HTC One X has the same specs as Skyrocket, with a HD screen and may be something to consider. Check this phone out too. http://www.mobilenapps.com/articles/1769/20120420/htc-one-x-release-date-att-may.htm#
Good luck !

Sorry, I think all ur main points are wrong frankly.
1) Build quality and quality control of the skyrocket has been excellent so far
2) I have access to 4g and LTE everywhere I go in all of Ontario, and let me tell u for what I use my phone for, late makes a WORLd or difference, 4g isnt even in the same league. This us basically just ur opinion
3) better screen resolution? where'd u find this info? link please?
4) find benchmarks showing me that exynos slaps the S3 1.5, please. Cuz I guarantee u won't. Sure if all u do is run benchmarks all day, yeah ifs faster. but in real world use u won't even be able to notice the difference. I'll take a pentaband radio that I can use on any carrier over 5% not even noticeable performance increase.
5) again ur opinion, see second point
6) skyrocket HD is same phone, better screen... so I don't understand this one
7). HTC One X has no SD card slot for expandable storage and lacks a removable battery, HUGE turnoffs for me ans several other users here, plus its HTC, and it may or may not come with a locked boot loader. Our dev took off out of the box, becuz we had no obstacles. Sammy's are definately the best for custom stuff.

Who else got the Galaxy Nexus?

Just bought my Galaxy Nexus from the Google Play Store, can't say I regret it... just yet. Anyways, who else bit the bullet? The HD screen, plus ICS and pure google made it irresistible...

Nope. Can't afford a new phone and what's the point? I mean yea you get a nicer total hardware and all, but I really only use my phone for web browsing when not at my computer and texting.
I don't feel it would be worth upgrading from a one year old phone for no real upgrades.

You didn't miss out on anything. I did not like the Nexus. My SGS2 blew it away. The pentile screen on the Nexus left much to be desired. No expandable memory, and the touchscreen nav buttons take up screen space, making the useable screen space limited. Returned it.
Getting a G2x tomorrow to use as a daily driver. Will install the latest ICS for it. I look forward to checking out the devs work around here.

Well I use my device constantly, and the screen size was one of my constant conplaints about the G2x. I love the phone, but I fell the G2x better suits my needs.

Of course the on screen nav keys take up space, that's why the screen size is 4.65"? There's less space wasted into bezel however, and that's appreciated. I definitely agree with the Pentile screen though, can't be that bad though.
Why are you downgrading from a SGS2 to a G2x however?

That'd be the same as saying "why are there so many apps for the iPhone". Does it suck that bad that it needs apps to make it usable? No, development is always a good thing.

I still have the TMo SGS2. It dominates the Nexus. I was excited to get the Nexus, but it did not live up to expectations. Best phone out there is the SGS2 by TMo.
I got a good deal on a G2x, so I picked one up. Looks to be a nice phone. Reminds me of my Vibrant, but with upgraded specs.

I got the Tmobile GS2 and its become my main phone for a month now.
I really really really hated it. Back of my mind I still hate it. I have small hands and 4.7 screen really is too big. I hate the stock SMS app and replaced it with the CM7 SMS.
Slowly the phone has won me over, mainly because its reliable and doesn't have any crap or surprises. It just works.
I would have kept the G2X as my main but the reliability and GPS really killed it for me. Also, data kept just stopped working sometimes. Stupid little bugs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Honestly, I've slowly warmed up to my SGS2 but slowly. I hate that it doesn't have CM7 solid and stable as my G2. TouchWiz does ok. It wins for reliability. I've tried to trade it. But really there isn't any better phones out there on T-Mobile. HTC One doesn't sway me because no memory expansion.
Right now I'm slowly moving all my personal data and info from the CM7 to Stock 2.3.3 on my G2X. Going stock for a while and away from CM7 based ROMS. Its a hate/love relationship on the phone. If it were solid and stable as the G2, I wouldn't have gotten the SGS2.

I think everyone should just be patient, not bite the bullet for the Galaxy Nexus, and wait till June for T-Mobile to put out the S3!
Patience FTW.

True, we won't get it for a while.
And the Note is HUGE. I don't have the pockets for it.

Time to get some big boy pants

I love it too. I use my phone a lot for browsing the web too, and the GN makes it a lot better. Nice screen, and flash doesn't lag on the web unlike on the G2x.
But saying the S2 is better and Nexus is a fail is quite wrong. There's still no official ICS for the TMO S2... And that big screen with such low res looks ugly to me. I'm sure Whitehawkx and Roman left that phone for the Nexus for those same reasons.
But the G2x is awesome in it's own ways. I liked it as much as everyone else here with the G2x.

What ROM you running on your GN King?

True, and a better phone than the T-Mo GS2 would be Sprints or At&t's, as they have the Exynos CPU.
And none yet unfortunately, its arriving tomorrow. Any recommendations?

When the Galaxy Note/SGSIII hits Tmo, and the price is reasonable, I'll prob jump ship...
Maybe jumping ship around Aug... Or maybe if LG gave us a half decent release of ICS, I'll stay. Wub u all <3

Samsung gs3 from skyrocket question

So....got the skyrocket several weeks (like 2 months) ago...and behold...the gs3 announcement that I was stupid enough not to wait for. Well..I have a spare upgrade available on my att account that I can easily get the gs3 under upgrade price with..but should I do it when it hits US? Would love to hear any and all opinions on the question

Watch it have an S4 in the US

Well
is it so much of an upgrade that you cant live with out it? i dont see much difference except the better screen and supposedly better battery, but ill agree it beats it out a bit in preformance due to RAM but from this article, http://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-s3-vs-samsung-galaxy-s2-82255/
im still pretty happy with my GSII. i think the GSII is sleek, thin, and good looking. im keeping mine and not worried about an upgrade.

I was going to wait for the s3 back in like February but the wait seemed so long so I just went with the skyrocket and love it! I'm glad that I didn't wait, not saying the s3 isn't good but not that big of an upgrade

Not worth it, if I wanted Iphone features, Id get an Iphone. Better to wait for the S4 sibce hardware is almost similar

Im actually hoping some of the features from the GS3 can be ported to our Skyrocket...

Also has a quad core exynos processor, but that's for the international version, no telling if we will see that on att though.

The GS3 seems great, but that screen is way to big for me... even the skyrocket is a bit too big to fit in my hand and its even annoying some time. The perfect screen size is about 4" IMO

that's iphone territory.

I love my Skyrocket! Best phone I ever owned hands down!
That being said, I will probably get an S3 anyways cause Ima phone freak.

This is my mindset at the moment haha...and yes...I do believe 4" is leaning too close to iPhone territory. Skyrocket and gs3 are perfect sized IMO

An S4 Quad would be nice, determining how a S4 dual compares to the T3. i honestly don't think Samsung is stupid enough to announce the GS3 stretching the quad core thing out as the biggest feature, and release it here in 'merica with a dual.

I'm kinda thinking that LTE is where the carriers want to go... So I'd think that until the manufacturers can get LTE to work on the quad core, we're going to see a "North American" version Dual Core LTE Slll. But who knows, there's still plenty of Markets in Canada & the US, which don't have LTE service.. so maybe we'll see both the Quad & Dual core phones in N. A.... Just to keep Samsung's penchant for having technically different phones, with the SAME Damn name....
