How is the Skyrocket?? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Hi everyone, I'm am very curious to see how everyone is liking there Skyrocket? I purchased the LG Thrill 4G about 2 weeks ago and love the 3D features and I think personally it is a solid phone, but the fact that it has Android 2.2 is really killing me, and there are some minor issues with the phone such as crappy WiFi signal, supposed 4G signal strength but really its H+ and the DL speed never goes above 3Mbps, 3D features are actually pretty amazing but only flaw I've seen is while recording 3D Videos the audio is not in sync with the video at all and the LG Thrill 4G is missing the best 3D feature that its counterpart the LG Optimus 3D has which is the 3D Game Converter, my only other leaning factor to not keep the LG Thrill 4G and get the Skyrocket is because the dev community for LG Thrill is very tiny, and I'm a flashaholic LOL....anyways if your still reading please let me know your rants and raves about the Skyrocket, don't just tell me the good either if there is any issues please let me know about them. So far I've only seen one bad thing about the Skyrocket and that is the thing about At&t controlling what apps can connect to data and some websites not working on the browser.

Works great already having great dev support and it will grow

I had a LG G2X on T-Mobile when it first came out. It's the reason I'm on AT&T. LG provides atrocious support, half their devices are still on 2.2, and they're totally clueless about s/w on high-end phones. I'd dump it while you're still in your remorse period and get the SR, ASGS2, or Vivid. Anything will be better in the long run for both s/w and dev support. Read the G2X forum if you want to see what life with an LG phone looks like.

Skyrocket is superior. Noone will argue that. It's all about what you need/like/want.

Doesnt the thrill also only have 512 megs ram? Also the skyrocket is confirmed definately recieving android 4.0 ice cream sandwich. And the super amoled display drfinately much better. Go to att and play with one i bet with in the first 5 minutes you will have made up your mind.

Yes I exchànged the SGII for the Skyrocket and really like the device. Not much bigger or bulk compared to the SGII. The HTC Vivid is also another great device which I am testing as well. The screen resolution on the Vivid is great. So far, both devices are great and each has its pros and cons.
Test out both at the store and you can judge which will work best for you.

I like it much better now that the LTE issue was resolved...
AT&T SkyRocket in Washington DC

Haha definately agree with this +100 ^^^^^^

I've had mine for one day and I like it a lot. A definite powerhouse phone. I came from the Captivate. I need to get BLN working via a modified kernel so I can run Blinky for notifications, and a modified mail.apk that strips Exchange pin requirements. Hope I can find the right ROM and kernel for this soon. I haven't done any ROM research just yet.

Thought this was a good place to post this comment. After transferring videos filmed with my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 S II Skyrocket to my Windows 7 desktop pc (filetype is MP4), the video and audio are out of sync / not in sync / mis-aligned. File size was a mere 30MB.
This was true of Quicktime, RealPlayer, Windows Media Player, etc.
Anyone else having a similar experience?

I haven't had issues with out of sync videos. I've uploaded videos from the SR directly to Facebook, and they turned out great. Also uploaded them to my Windows 7 PC using "Dropbox," which worked great.
To answer the question from the original poster - I love my SR. Came from an iPhone, and won't go back. Having too much fun with the SR, love the big screen, the speed, the capacity, what's not to like? My only gripe is the battery life, but I've had the same issues with other smartphones, so it just comes with the territory.

Are You Surprised You Like A LG Device?

I ask this because I never owned a LG device until now. I just never gave them a chance because they were never in my opinion the "smartphone" type. Aside from all the "issues", how do you feel about the device as a whole(build quality etc)?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
I've never owned an LG device either. However I am surprised at the performance of the phone (seeing as froyo doesnt support dual core) and even more surprised at how well the battery life is.
Not really. I have an LG TV and I love it. I know Samsung and LG are the few that actually make the screens and such so your buying either a Samsung or LG screen regardless of phone (I think HTC uses LG screens)
But I owned an LG before which had Symbian on it. Phone was great but Symbian wasn't. I came from Windows Mobile and I quickly went back to Windows Mobile, before migrating to Android.
Actually yes! I thought about waiting for the Sensation because I love HTC.
Same here most of LGs US phones are low end so I never bought one. I've been an HTC fan for a while, last three phones were HTC I'm pleasantly surprised but this phone though.

Like the hardware and accessories. Despise the software. Unfortunately, the software has to work to truly appreciate the hardware.
I returned an LG TV less than a year ago, simply because I got a better price on a better Sony. I also have an LG computer monitor that has been rock solid for several years now. We have fancy LG appliances as well, a fridge and washer dryer, they are both way more bells and whistle equipped than I believe they should be... but the GF loves 'em
As for this phone, while I love the concept and the solid feel, the jury is still out on whether or not I like the phone. I still have a week left of my 14 days...
The phone is nice I guess but the software and horribly annoying issues make me hate this damn thing. Just hoping a decent CM7 build gets released before my 14 days are up so I can test this phone out before deciding to keep it or go back to HTC which I love.

I love my phone.
Never had a lg device before...
I dont want the sensation, and I dont want another samsung at the moment... Trying new things out and I must say I'm impressed.
No issues and had for over 2 weeks... No reboots, slight bleed but it wouldn't bother me either way....
Best phone I ever had. Ive had htcs, samsung, and now lg..

are you having any issues downloading within a browser? i find myself having to switch browsers or wifi to 4g to try and download. i get unsucessful or waiting for data connection very often.
I am very surprised with this device. I was very reluctant at first to get an Lg phone. I too did not want to get a Samsung phone this time around. This is the by far the best Android experience that I've had since owning the original G1, and then the Vibrant. Even running the Vibrant overclocked, with custom roms doesn't compare to this.

G2x to evo 3d?

These are my last days here with the good ol tmo and the g2x.
The evo 3d got me.
Is there anyone else?
I love the g2x. But tmo has horrible reception in my area. I mean like bad.
So I went evo 3d.

any idea how sprints 3g is compared to tmo's "4g"? i get edge at home on tmo. but sprint has me completely covered on 3g,no 4g yet. just wondering if anyone has any experience with sprint 3g. i think it's time for me to jump ship. i love tmo, and their latest selection of phones. but i think i'm gonna take the plunge early. at least they give you 30 days to cancel which is great. i'll just go back to tmo em+ if i have to.
Sprint's 3G is slow!!!!!!!!!! I never got above 2mb in a year of owning an EVO...Now 4g was always fast...when you could actually stay connected
I'm leaving with him and paying the damn cancellation fee.evo here I come.
Got this comparison coming soon

As a former Evo owner (favorite phone ever once Sense is gone), I had to try out the Sensation and the Evo 3D and I finally got a chance to use them both for an extended period today. I can definitely say the grass isn't always greener. I experienced pretty much the same things everyone else has said: the screens are very washed out and both devices are slower than the G2x in pretty much every way. The 3D feature is barely worth writing about as it simply causes a headache. If you're looking for 3D, buy a 3DS instead.
With that said, the Evo 3D is produced by a company that actually pretends to care about most of the devices they release and their consumers, it will have tons of development once the bootloader is unlocked, and in the case of Sprint, they seem to be pretty much on point when it comes to releasing updates. If you can deal with the lame screen, you get good Sprint reception, and can wait for the bootloader to be unlocked, you can't go wrong with a 3D. I believe the G2x to be the better device when it's actually working, but I doubt T-Mo or LG will ever mention it again after the fabled Gingerbread release occurs.

Well, those are just my thoughts and opinions on the devices. You don't have to believe me if you don't want to, but I have no reason to come here and make up a story. I have service from both Sprint (still have my Evo) and T-Mobile and could easily get any of the other two phones for my personal use. At work today I carried around my own G2x and a borrowed Sensation and 3D for around 9 hours and came to the conclusions I mentioned above.
Edit: I should have said former Evo USER in my initial post.

There is no doubt in my mind that the my G2X is definitely faster when it comes to flying around the UI and playing some games but to say it's faster in pretty much every way is completely false. Over the last two weeks I have done numerous tests with the browsers, apps and games. I use the same apps and have played the same games on both phones every day. I can say without a doubt that the Sensation does interact with apps a little bit faster. Google Maps is where it's very noticeable as it will load the map as you scroll about twice as fast as it does on my G2X.
When it comes to the browser, I can't really pick a clear winner here. Some websites get loaded faster on the G2X and others load faster on the Sensation.
When it comes to the games I play, Dungeon Defenders and Angry Birds run about the same on both devices,Riptide GP obviously runs better on the G2X but the game I play most, almost religiously (Homerun Battle 3D) runs smoother and looks better on the Sensation.
If you want, I can show you some video comparisons of the games I listed. Obviously I can't do them side by side due to my hand restriction but you will still be able to get the picture.
By the way, it depends on what display you get with your Sensation. Currently there are 3 available. The nicer Sharp display does not wash out like the others and is almost as vibrant as a Super AMOLED. The better Sharp also has a better contrast, just not quite as good as my G2X. It definitely performs better in direct sunlight than my G2X.

Evo 3D or nexus S

What phone should I get. I have had bad luck with samsung and that's what's holding me back on nexus. The Evo 3D with 2 cores looks nice. So I will upgrade from my transform Friday what do you think?
Sent from my Life-Line using TapaTalk.
I picked up an Evo 3D last Friday, and it's a great phone. The dual core processor is way snappy... no noticeable lag when doing anything. However, if rooting your phone is important, then you may want to hold off. HTC said they'd unlock the bootloader, but they're currently shipping the 3D's with a locked version. Furthermore, they've yet to say anything since launch regarding the issue. I rarely used programs that required root, so I can deal for the time being. If rooting and/or custom roms aren't anything you care about, then get the 3D today!
I've heard the Evo 3D is super slick, though I still think 3D is a bit gimmicky at this point. Then again, I have no problems buying into gimmicks, lol. I would personally go with the Evo.
I would go for the EVO 3D, specced with cool stuff
Bought the Nexus S 4g on the 6/4 for my gf. I liked the ns4g, its sleak and very lightweight. The specs are good and its a snappy phone that ran every app I tried. Of course there isnt a bunch of pre loaded garbage in them. We went to Vegas earlier in the month and it had a problem with internet connectivity, when my evo shift would have no issue at all.
Then I looked at the specs of the 3d and figured that the hardware in the e3d would be on the cutting edge for a good time to come(whereas the ns4g seems to be at the end of its cycle with a single core processor), so we went and swapped it out yesterday. The e3d is definitley cool, loaded with a ton of bloat, but its fast. The 3d pictures are very cool, maybe gimmicky, but nonetheless very fing cool.
I cant wait to see how fast it can be once its cranked up a little.

Nexus has no memory card slot.... (Dont take away what we already have)....
That is a deal breaker for me-- and the Evo is snazzier looking (and you know the Evo Dev community will have it rooted and rommed in a fing week...
Evo 3D is way better than Nexus S in many ways. However, Nexus S is one of those few phones with vanilla and it's the most likely phone to get the next update first.
Like others said, 3D is a gimmik but hey, it's cool still. If you can afford it, I'd advise you to wait a bit since 3D and dual core phones have *just* started coming out.
I picked up the 3d last week. Absolutely love it. I wasn't getting it for the 3d, thought it was gimicky also, but it actually is pretty cool. Fits perfect in the hand also

might trade my g2x for a mytouch 4g slide

like the titles says, im thinking of doing the trade when the phone comes out.
what are your thoughts of the MT4G slide? and should i do it?
i had the mytouch 4g and in my thoughts was one of the best phones i had.
also like to add the phone comes with netflix preloaded already, and the g2x has nothing yet.
If you love the option of having a keyboard then I say go for it. The myTouch Slide 4g will most likely continue to get updates in opposed to the G2x since LG is struggling with the software update. Its so sad that this hardware is being wasted by lack of good development on LG's part. The G2x is a great phone hardware wise, but it will easily be left behind if LG doesn't release some grade A software.

Well it's got good specs and htc makes good phones. Just depends if you want a little smaller of a screen and a thicker phone due to the physical keyboard.
And what's this about G2x not having netflix? I watch netflix all the time on my phone... Check the themes/apps section.

I am definitely aware of this, but I'm just stating for those who are unrooted and would like an official Netflix app from LG.

i know you an get netflix to work by rooting and installing a new rom, i have done it. but the roms are unstable to me and need more polishing. so i go back to stock each time.
i dont think i would mind the smaller screen sort of reminds me when i had the g2 days. also i think the specs are up to par with the g2x and im hearing the camera might be better and also records 1080p.
the one thing i might miss is the hdmi even though i only used it like 2 times its still a good feature.
also i like to add that my g2x is flawless, no reboots, no screen bleed, no over heating etc.
Sad Netflix has you by the balls...

i love netflix and my anime!
question on flash
I watched one of the youtube reviews of the 4G slide and it showed that the flash wasn't working when they went to a WEB site. The reviewer mentioned it, so does this mean that the 4G slide isn't supporting Adoble Flash?
the mytouch 4g slide is probably the only legit mytouch there wil be it is running on Sense 3.0 and the camera app is AMAZING! ive never been a fan but this phone def. will be good.
It is a very solid phone for crack addicted texters

Granted, the G2x is a great phone (so was the HD2), and CM7 is pretty good even for nightly builds, but I seriously wonder how much effort LG and T-Mobile will put into supporting this phone as it has more than likely cost them bundle.
I left the HTC family for the Samsung Vibrant and then to the LG G2x. Those were my two big mistakes. I really liked my HTC phones and it's about time I went back "home"... especially now that HTC has officially stated that they will unlock their bootloaders.
My options are between the Sensation and the mT4G-Slide and the "real" keyboard is swaying me towards the latter even if it's a notch below the Sensation ;-)
Yea the phone is going to have flash, but I have no use for it. I'm really considering getting the phone because the MT4G was a solid phone and never had trouble with it. But seeing that the g2x has no Netflix and you need to root and flash a new rom to get it to work. I think I'm sold with the MT4G slide having stock Netflix 1.2 CPU and a keyboard.

The screen may be 3.7", but when using the keyboard you will have the entire screen for viewing. If you think about it, virtual keyboards take up half your screen.

i know you an get netflix to work by rooting and installing a new rom, i have done it. but the roms are unstable to me and need more polishing. so i go back to stock each time.

Gonna have to disagree with you on the whole unstable roms statement. Almost any recent version of roms for this phone are stable and very usable. Even the CM7 nightlies are very stable.
G2x - July baseband/radio, Cm7 Nightlies, Faux OC/uv Kernel, Launcher Pro, Straight Beast Status! No Bugs! Smooth as my ps3 or 360 on gaming... gameloft is making some killer gamez... I love this phone... It's a sense or no sense issue if you ask me... I like both.. My last phone was the htc glacier i gave to my momma, it was a good phone... I wanted a senseless device and im glad i got this one.. not another 6-8 months down the road when the next 1.3+ Ghz batch of phones comes out i might go back to sense, but im completely content where im at right now with the g2x with the games and now netflix... dont get no better.. maybe the sgs2 but that's the most powerful phone in the world as far as buyin out the store... but the sensation.... NO!
Well seems netflix is a major selling point but every talks like we'll never officially support netflix.
Netflix are *****es anymore and they pick and choose which who gets what. Even the Asus transformer doesn't officially support it. Big deal though. All they have to do is add the device tag to the supported device list and we'd be good.
It will happen sooner then later though. I can't see netflix on a phone though aside from managing your queues which is what I do now.
Between the two phones though its between keyboard and power. My sis had a MT4G and she loves it.
But I'd wait it out for a few more weeks. See what's up with the Slide before jumping ship. Lots of people did that for the sensation and ended up regretting it. HTC may unlock bootloaders but look at the sensation. The slide may be locked down too.

G2x or the HTC Sensation

I currently have a G2 (no X) on tmobile and I'm thinking I want to upgrade to a dual cpu phone but I don't want to renew my contract. I've been watching phones on ebay and an average sale price for the g2x is around $220-$250, while the Sensation seems to go for around $300-$350. I've got a couple questions:
1. Is either phone going to be a noticeable upgrade from my G2 (rooted, it runs at 1.2 and gets about 2200 on quadrant)
2. I know this is the G2x forum so it may be a biased answer, but which phone would be better (smoother, most stable, etc) assuming I'm going to root it and install a custom rom.
Last, if I do go with the g2x, what are some favorite rom's you all use? I've been using meXdroid on my g2 but that isn't available for either the sensation or X.

lol GET THE G2X!!!!!! after rooting and slapping a custom rom on there its super stable no reboots, no funny business. Currently running the weapon rom. zero issues but will most likely flash something this weekend because i ....i feel that itch again
+1 its the only bad thing about rooting, you can't stop flashing!
The G2x stock is a contender still within the high end market. Throw a custom rom into the mix and it flies!
Rocking the weaponx atm.

i have both.. and using the sensation now. if you want support the care about costumers htc is the one.
and they already said were getting ics in earlier 2012.
lg confirmed they will too. but look how long it took them to give gb on the 2x.
well when i get a phone i like to see the camera first and the stock sensation camera is better than the g2x. and we already have mod to flash the amaze camera.
i love both on my devices but i use more the sensation than the g2x
get the g2x very nice phone and like they said once u root lol its rom after rom after rom lol
i am very disappointed with the g2x we have 4 of them and all shut down, freeze up etc... even after installing roms still very glitchy, very buggy. ... i dont know much about the sensation except that HTC makes good devices and they do support their devices unlike LG releasing phones with no support whatsoever.
I love my g2x the weapon x mod makes it even better

Sensation has a higher resolution and a larger screen but its camera is buggy (My mate's red car turned complete bright pink! ). G2X has a crap quality camera on the other hand but it gets its colours right.
I find G2x screen more vibrant compared to sensation.
Like others have said, if you need support and are not into rooting/custom roms than Sensation is the way to go (Better support than LG, Htc Sense is anyday better than LGs UI and slightly better specs).
But if you're into rooting and custom roms, I don't see any reason not to opt for G2x. The phone works fast and is bug free (I'm on cm 7.1.0.1 stable).
Also G2x battery life is better than Sensation.

I'm talking from personal experience. It may vary depending on how people handle their devices too.
I have 250 apps + installed and get around 8-10 hours on full charge. Mobile data on, regular texting, browsing etc. A mate's g2x lasts for 15hours+ (less apps than me and lesser texting/more standby). Both of us use custom roms.
Comparing that to another mate's sensation...his battery lasts about 6-6.5 hours with internet usage probably similar and number of apps lesser than me. Stock rom.

I hear this a lot but I have to completely disagree. Maybe I'm missing something but the quality on the G2x has been nothing but fantastic in my uses. The colors from the images taken are phenomenal; bright and crisp. I take great pics in dim settings with the flash. I've taken pics at various work sites to email off for visual confirmations and I've gotten several inquiries about what camera I used. They all are very surprised when they find out it is just my phone's camera and say that the photo's are awesome.
I've even sold my iPad2 and snapped pics for upload and had compliments.
The G2x doesn't do well with motion shots, but no phone I've owned or used has. Although it IS much better at taking motion shots (of my boy) then most phones we've tried. I can typically take 4/5 good shots of him.
I have 2 g2x's. I don't care what anyone says, this phone is incredible. Granted oc'ed, I have hit the highest marks on 3 different benchmarks. This is not a posers phone, yeah, little glitchy, what do you expect with that much power in a device this small. It's like a musclecar, they were glitchy and ridiculously fast.

My vote is for the Sensation. There are a lot of people who claim they have no issues with their G2X but unfortunately I did not fall in this category. I went through three different G2X's and all of them experienced some sort of issue that made day to day use very frustrating.
