What do you guys think should i switch from the infuse to the Galaxy S2? If i do i have to sign another 2 yrs with at&t :O + it will be $250 outta my pocket however i could sell my infuse for like $175/$200
how the hell can we tell you what you should and should not do ? if you want to move on DO IT
Have you played with one? You may not like the smaller size if you're coming from an Infuse. Also, the S2 is far from the best these days. You might want to spend the extra $50 and get the Skyrocket. It's the same size as the Infuse, it's faster and can be upgraded to ICS when the time comes.

Skyrocket is only data fast if u look into tech specs, sg2 processor actually performs faster. It is something I have considered.

I was just reading the skyrocket forums because I was curious about the LTE rollout in the Phoenix area and wanted to see what kind of speeds Phoenicians were getting. All I have to say is wow. The LTE speeds are pretty damn impressive everywhere they've rolled it out to. If I had the opportunity, I'd switch.

Just seems by everyone that sg2 is phone for hardware performance, and developer support but skyrocket I like data speeds. Just seems wiser move sg2 not skyrocket for long term, if you like customizing. If you really want either there is a promotion link for ATT to get it cheaper.

Infuse vs S2
I took advantage of that $.01 sale at Amazon and bought two s2's for my wife and daughter...added new lines to family account and all was well...I thought due to the hype surrounding the s2's, I would be jealous and find a way to swap with the wife...
10 minutes after opening the box and setting them up, I was glad I was keeping the Infuse...The screen size diff. believe it or not is VERY apparent, at least to me...
And besides the diff. asthetics, it does not come with an SD card or HDMI Mini cable...Not big deals by themselves, but I expected MUCH more from these based on what I have read...
For $.01 they certainly are a "deal", but switching from an Infuse(and IMHO down) to the s2 provides nothing but proc. speed and Gingerbread...
I am an "average user" so the faster proc'r means nothing to me by itself...I actually took all three phones and loaded the s2's with some of the same apps I use daily on my Infuse...
I will keep the Infuse...

This is great. Im sorry but im not gonna take someones word on a phone and buy it. Go play with one, buy it and move on. If u want performance get a skyrocket.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
I say screw that data speed I get 5down and 2up on infuse. I would rather sg2 over skyrocket better hardware and even screen quality is equally as good as Infuse faster CPU,gpu but still has great developer support that's where some developers probably went. That is why I consider sg2.
Really only reason I am considering a new phone is someone letting me have their new line phone I would pick out pay new line price for my tricked out infuse. Really if I say no they just going to get infuse and want me to do it to theirs.

I have had my s2 for a bit now coming from an infuse and i would have to say if screen size isn't an issue for you the make the jump! My wife has an infuse that i toy with still (running ICS MIUI) but you can see a big difference with performance. I miss the size of my infuse but I am happy with this s2 until the s3 or something better comes out!
Sent from my Dual Core Monster via xda premium app
Agree with uaguilar. I have the gs2 and wife has infuse (w/ miui, too). Performance difference is significant. Play with one for a little while and you'll see where it's noticeable. ATT has a decent trial/return policy, so check out one of them. Don't get me wrong, infuse is a great phone, but the others are good upgrades.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
Do you care about sound quality through headphones? Would you miss the screen size 4.5 vs 4.3? If not go with S2
I chose the infuse over the S2 and worked out quite abit cheaper. I value the music sound the most. Ask supercurio about the S2 sound it's a dissapointment.

Hope this helps those who may be considering an upgrade.

Unless they had a lot of money, I don't see why any reasonable person would upgrade to an Infuse. Not saying your chart is worthless, but it's probably better-suited in other places, where people don't usually understand what the differences mean in the "techno-talk**".

I beg to differ. I'm sure someone will find it useful.
I can certainly see people upgrading to the Infuse if they have an upgrade available and really want a 4.5 inch screen, can't live with the Yamaha audio chip in the Attain, or just don't feel like waiting for the Attain. Hell, there are tons of previous Captivate owners already in the Infuse section.
OR, maybe someone is pondering the Infuse, but after seeing this chart they will decide to wait for the Attain, or decide not to. Whatever.
If you came here to bash my post, there's no need really. I'm not closing it for you and I don't really give a crap if you don't find it useful. Others might.

I wish there was a chart for phones a little over a year away for people who go the Captivate when it first came out and don't want to pay extra.
I might not be useful for me but my wife is definitely due for an upgrade. She is still sitting on an iPhone 3g and eyeballing my captivate all the time. The only thing missing would be what the next Gen iPhone is going to be.

Yeah, Attain looks like it will be exactly like the SGS2 other than the button layout and possible addition of NFC.
The numbers are certainly interesting, but even without them, it was pretty clear that the attain is by far the better choice. The only issue is how long do we have to wait.
I will use my wife's upgrade to get the attain for myself, and pass my captivate to her, as long as I can get her to wait that long. She's really wants to upgrade now. I've heard suggestions/rumors of July 24 for some of the sgsII US release dates. Don't think that was specific to the attain, though. I wonder if anyone has heard anything more difinitive or has better info?
Things I found interesting were that the Attain's GPU will be no better than the Captivate's and the audio quality will actually be worse, but that's really just a testament to how mind blowingly good those parts were when the Captivate originally came out.

I think those late July estimates are purely based on US Galaxy S releases last year. No one knows for sure. Could be late July, or it could be September for all we know .
I didn't realize how badly the Infuse is bested by the SGS II.
I would be fine if at&t waited for the launch of their LTE network so they could put an LTE radio in the attain.

I think I would rather have a little slower speed, much wider coverage, and much better battery life with HSPA+. Plus if AT&T waits that long the Attain won't be nearly as ground breaking. The SGS2 will be old news by then.
I think wait for the attain
I really like the infuse but I like the fact that the attain has gingerbread and the tw4 interface
no harm in the post not sure why people get so uptight....that said rather than trying to decide between the SGSII and the infuse most of the people here are more likely trying to decided whether to pick up the SGSII or hold out for the Prime or the Holiday.
I have been wondering what the real size difference between the Galaxy Nexus and my SGS2 SkyRocket really was. I know in dimension they are slightly different. Nexus 4.65" and Rocket 4.5".....but I kept looking at those softkeys and ICS dock and was wondering how much real estate those keys and dock would take.
So here is a comparison between the two. Thanks to +Warren Gary for the Nexus screenshot.
It looks to me like the Nexus has less usable screen space.......I am aware that there are fixes and app adjustments in the works and am in no way bad mouthing the Nexus....I just was wondering so I thought I would share.
Thanks.

Yeah, I found it interesting. Also of interest is my screen shot was 480x800 while the Nexus was 450x800.
I am really liking the SkyRocket....I had thoughts of going to Nexus when it came out, but I do like this 4.5" screen.
But I will be getting something bigger next upgrade.....4.5" is nice but man....the Note's 5.3" is just alluring. LOL
Haha ive been pricing the note the past few days. I really like sammy. And your right notes massive display, and hd makes it very appealing to me. There just so expensive. Im hoping i find one for like 400

I wonder if that survey question was refering to the ASUS Padphone?
I wonder if when ICS is available for the Skyrocket if the build will included the on screen ICS nav buttons like the Nexus or if they'll leave that out to save space since the Skyrocket has the hardware buttons.
Its been stated in several different threads. Phones with hardware buttons will not utilize the on screen buttons

I believe the soft keys on the nexus will be absent on our device since we have buttons.
Sent from my SGS2 SkyRocket powered by Mortem Tuam.
I am a Nexus fan since the Nexus One...and was 'planning on' holding out until the Nexus came out before getting the I727R, but I figure I'll just get the Nexus too when it comes out. So right now I have both the Skyrocket and the Galaxy Nexus. (Thankfully the Nexus is a review unit for my website so no need to buy it).
As far as screen space is concerned, there is definitely less landscape if you take the on-screen buttons out of the equation. You really have no choice but to... it's always there. Except when viewing videos including YouTube.
Surprising isn't it? Wanna hear what's more surprising? Watching the same YouTube Video, at the same time, on both devices, on High Definition... you can hardly tell the difference. I found myself admiring the I727R more than the Nexus...all the while thinking that I was actually looking at the Nexus. (Can you blame me? The Nexus is supposed to have the more superior display).
This doesn't mean the display spec on the Nexus is BS...because when you look at the icons, the wallpaper (live and static), you can clearly see the Nexus display stand out. Where you can clearly see some sort of 'grid' (what I call it) or 'Screen lines' on the i727R display...that is no where to be seen on the Nexus.
One more thing, the Nexus screen is longer, where the GS2 LTE is wider...so, its your preference I guess. But if you ask me... I'm glad I bought the GS2LTE, and wouldn't trade it for a Galaxy Nexus even if they gave me an extra $100 on top.
Lol lucky. I wouldnt buy the.nexus but id trade my sr for it..
Lol i just get bored with devices after about a month lol. Lol but i seriously doubt ill ever find someone who wants to trade so ill stick with my sr until quadcores or poasibly the galaxy note
I have both right now and been using the nexus more just because of ics and no lte where I live.

According to Samsung's website, the Note DOES have LTE.
But for me the Note is just too big.
I already find the the SR to be uncomfortable in my pocket, and using the screen one-handed is a stretch...literally!
I'd imagine, for me, it would be a real juggling act to navigate the 5.3" display with one hand.
Rather than pay the money for the Note, you can pick up the SkyRocket AND a nice Android tab and still have a little money left over for accessories for both.
Just my 2 cents.
Tmonews is reporting the ICS updates in the near future. The only devices mentioned are GS2, Amaze, and Sensation. I was pretty sure we weren't getting it before but now I am almost positive that we are not. Perhaps if the O2x gets it then we can port it over.
I am waiting to see when will the Galxy Note or Galaxy S3 come to T-mobile. If the date is too far away(We are always that last to get anything) then I am getting a $399 Galaxy Nexus.

Yeah I agree. We aren't gonna see an official ICS update. This phone caused way too many problems for T-mobile/LG. If we were to get an update it should've been before the update for the SGS2 since the G2x came out before that phone.

Just enjoy GB. TMO released a good GB ROM and CM7 is still pretty awesome for this phone. If ICS comes then cool, if not then just be content or move on to something else.
Look at the picture in the link from the OP
On the left hand side, it says G2X in red font. Below it you can make out the letters "ch" at the end of the word. So maybe that means that the G2X Ice Cream SandwiCH update is overdue????

If no one's been paying attention(and I doubt anyone does) HTC, G series, Samsung, and apple are the sellers. Not Lg, not pantect, not any company thats been a waste of funds for the last 2 decades of cell phones. But again, you know, ROMS aren't official, but they're only thing your G2x will get ICS with. So, yeah. Go cry in a corner now that you know LG hates you.

Oh thanks a lot for the explanation captain obvious, hence the topic title being "I am 99.9% sure we are not getting official ICS."
I don't quite understand who is "bashing" anyone in this thread.

As long as the O2X gets an official ICS update from LG, then we'll be fine.
Interesting post from the O2X thread, regarding ICS update:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426191
Maybe an incompetent LG representative (since the Wind "O2X" is a G2X without the Tmobile logo) or on the contrary.

Hello Glacier Community!
So as some of you guys may have figured out, I now am a proud owner of the Samsung Galaxy S III. Dad went to the T-Mobile store last week and got both him and myself the Pebble Blue one.
It is a freaking awesome device, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone. I know it's an "old" phone, and many of you would ask me why I didn't choose to upgrade to the Nexus 4 or whatever, but truth is, I don't like that phone. Doesn't seem very great, and LG has never had a good history anyway. Didn't get the Note 2 cause it was 1. Way to expensive and 2. Way to big lol
The speed and smoothness of this phone is amazing, in fact, it's been around 3 or 4 days and I'm still on stock! The only thing I did to it was an OTA Update to JellyBean (which gave an even better performance). Samsung really did a good job this time around.
If any of you guys got anymore questions about the Galaxy S III, don't hesitate to ask me, I'll try my best to answer ya
I want to take a moment and truly thank each and every one of you for what you guys have done in this forum. My first rooted Android phone was the HTC Glacier, my first ROM was built for the HTC Glacier, and my team Team Inferno originally started with another forum member, also on the HTC Glacier. The majority of my ROMs and my Team's ROMs are all for the Glacier. This device means a lot to me, and so does this community. I know we've gone through many ups and downs dealing with a ton of things throughout my two years on this forum (wow...it's been two years already ), but there has always been someone in this forum not giving up hope on me, and always kept pushing me and encouraging me. Out of all the forums I see on XDA, I think that the Glacier forum is the most like a community. I feel comfortable with you guys (as you can tell from my posts in the BS Thread), openly sharing my thoughts and opinions.
Now you guys might think that once I leave this place I won't ever come back and post again. That's just not true. I don't really feel comfortable in the other forums, hardly ever posting in them. The only forum where I feel at home is this one, the HTC Glacier. And that's all thanks to you guys. In fact, now that I have a Galaxy S III, I'm able to do even more testing and developing on my Glacier, since I now don't have to worry about going out without a working phone. So hopefully, if time allows, you will be seeing more ROMs from me and my Team.
I'm sad to be "leaving" this forum and this wonderful device, but I'm excited to be moving on to my next stepping stone, the Galaxy S III. Hope to see most, if not all of you guys there!
Keep doing what you're doing developers, you push out surprise after surprise, as together, we push this device to it's maximum potential and ability.
-Best Regards, Saranhai
And finally, it's disrespectful to leave without a gift right? Hope you guys like this one!
...Meet the...

I Just got an S III as well, to be delivered in about 12 hours. I just got into rom development somewhat (Learning right now, but managed to compile CM7 for the Glacier and CM10 for the S III (I think. it finished correctly, we'll see tomorrow I guess).
I'm excited.

Not to be offensive, but i have to say, i wasn't overly impressed with the GS3, sure it was nice and shiny and fast but was it better than phones like the HOX or DNA or Moto Razr MAXX HD, don't really think so, what are your opinions on the phone saranhai?

not offended
i personally love the Galaxy S III, IMO it is better than the HTC One X (if that's what HOX stands for). i got a couple friends with the One X and i'm not sure if it's just them, but their phones were lagging pretty bad for some reason. don't get me wrong, i love the One X and if it had removable battery+microSD, i'd buy it in a heartbeat, wouldn't even consider the Galaxy S III. but the fact that Samsung still has this feature in their flagship phone makes me want the Galaxy S III more. some might not think it's a big deal, and if it's not to you, then i'd recommend the One X for you. i have not yet played with the DNA yet, so i can't compare it just yet, i'll try playing around with it next time i go to the stores. and please, don't even get me started on Motorola crap (still better than Apple..but still). just my opinion cause you asked for it
the new motorola phones are actually quite beautiful. My friend has the one x and he loves it, its actually pretty amazing but it really is personal preference, i am glad you like your phone!
My girlfriend has the one x, it's nice but I prefer my s3. One X still doesn't have s off and the battery life is nothing to write home about. I also like sense 3x better than sense 4. The hox has not wowed me with eye candy like the mt4g roms has. As much as touchwiz is ugly it sure has useful features. If the moto razr gets as much battery as Moto boast than I would be all over it if they weren't Verizon
On a side note its interesting typing on a qwerty keyboard phone. Bought the kyocera rise for 30 on black Friday. Must say for a such a cheap price it was well worth it. Runs ics and is actually pretty smooth. Virgin Mobile didn't drown it in bloat. Sucks there will never be any development but what ever its just a android mp3 player so not that big of a deal

Its not that I hate Verizon its just there more expensive. I also hear they are the worst I'm regards to updates and that they lock phones with bootloaders that normally wouldn't. That and I have a 2 year contract with a $340 balance left on my phone.

Okay silly question. I am looking into a N5. But am still trying to convince the wife to let me get the 32gb model from google. But more then likely I will probably get the tmo 16gb model...(not my first choice).
Just wondering though. if I fif get tmo model can I flash N5 stock rom over the tmo bloated gersion? Speaking of that anyone use tue tmo model and if so is there a lot of bloat ir is it minimal? Thanks in advance.

the nexus never comes bloated, its the same rom.
The good thing about the Google Nexus line is no matter where you get it, it's going to be the same. Clean and carrier unlocked.
If it's cheaper to get it from T-Mo, go that route, if not get it from the Play Store. They both will be the same.

With the tmo model. I can put $40 down amd have monthly payments of $12 a month. but they only offer the 16gb model which for me is hard as my current phone, xperia play, has a 64gb card in it. Coming down to a 32 model would be much easier to transition to.
Sent from my R800at using xda premium
Why?
Why don't you get the motoX or the new G? Or just buy the 32gig off the play store and tell her it's the 16gb worked for me.
As mentioned there are no carrier versions of the Nexus 5. They are all the same sold by different people. Tmobile or even Sprint doesn't get to change anything about the device.
A Moto G? I'm thinking about getting that one for my wife because she doesn't need much and for $200 it's almost a no brainer but she has my older SGS2 now and seems just fine so i'll let her keep that for now. I was tempted to give her my Nexus 4 but yeah....
Odds are if the OP wanted a Nexus 5 he wouldn't go G, maybe X but not G. I like your idea about telling her it's X but since the woman usually handles the cash, she'll see the costs then no sex for you for a month. LOL
Yeah my wife is an accountant so she sees and analyzes everything. Love her to death but sometimes it drives me nuts. As stated before. The 32gb is my choice but the wife doesnt want to pay $400 plus up front. So the only choice is the tmo route but its the 16 only model. $43 down with monthly no interest payments of $12 a month.
Guess the compromise would be the tko route. I sure as hell domt want to end up as a dirt pile in the back yard.

While that I am sure is the reason VZ did not get the N5 this time around.... from looking around online for the N5 this is correct. But yes the Galaxy Nexus and VZ was a b!tch situation...... I knew several people who bailed on VZ after this issue.. Google Wallet anyone...

Yes, and that was my dilemma. Why spend an extra $100 for a 16gb model for the long run when I can just pay up, which is what I prefer anyway and get the 32GB model.
Question to everyone though. I have a screen cover coming in the mail but am trying to decide on a case...
These are what I am looking at:

If others have any other suggestions/comments on an excellent case for a great price please let me know.. or if you have the LG/Google OEM case what your thoughts are on that, although I dont want to spend $35. And yes I know you get what you pay for. Thoughts anyone? And thank you all in advance for your feedback, I appreciate it.

True, but that's also why Verizon hasn't had a Nexus anything since. They burned that bridge.
Also, I'm up in Polar Bear land, so the finer details of the US telcoms slip by me occasionally.

I had both Spigen cases. I absolutely love the look and feel of the Neo Hybrid. However I can't say the same about the Slim Armor. I know people will disagree with me about the Slim Armor, my choice would defnitely be for the Neo Hybrid. Depending on where you live, you could get them on Amazon for the same price and two-day shipping if you are an Amazon Prime customer. No need to wait for slow eBay shippers.
