Hi!
Are Skyrocket i727 and LTE i9210 the same phones?
as they may look the same, it is a korean phone. it definetly has a completely different radio,kernal im pretty sure is different too. i think the only actual similarity is the android software

Apparently both are the same phones
Has anyone got their hands on them yet?
The Skyrocket is i believe the same Galaxy S II that rogers is selling so you can always look at that one
Edit: They seem pretty similar except with different frequencies
seem typical waiting for hands one.
I got the Samsung Galaxy s2 lte Korean model..... Can i use the rom of AT&T on mine?
I wanna know what's the difference between the Tmobile Galaxy S2 & Att Galaxy S2 Skyrocket?? & Which is better?? I had the Tmobile Galaxy S2 but not the Att Galaxy Skyrocket.
TMOs has 48mbps HSPA+ and Skytocket has LTE. Thats it

I believe the difference is Tmo's has a slightly bigger screen (0.02" bigger) and the SoC seems to be the same except one includes a modem other doesn't. Skyrocket is a tad ligher and has LTE. As in wich one is better.... That will probably fall on opinion. Doubt one is noticeably superior, not counting LTE vs HSPA+. Even then its relative to location.
Edit: OYE BORICUA!
I do know know most people here are American but I am looking for one thread that talks about the risk of putting a "Skyrocket ROM" in a "Galaxy S2 LTE"
1) Is it true AT&T and Rogers use the same frequencies?
2) Is it true hardware wise a Galaxy S2 Skyrocket and Galaxy S2 LTE are the same?
3) General Speaking a ROM that says it is for Skyrocket change the APN and it will work with LTE? Rogers APN settings?
Many developers call their ROMs xxxxx skyrocket ROM I want to know if they need to be avoided or with a simple APN edit will they work on Canadian devices.

The answer to all your questions is yes.
Take any ROM from this section and flash it on your I727R and it should work.

1) Rogers LTE is on AWS (1700) while AT&T is on 700mhz. However, the phone supports both 700 and 1700 bands.
2) Yeah they're the same phones. Even the SGH-T989 and T989D are almost identical in hardware, except the LTE chip of course.
3) Pretty much

Actually the t989 has the lte chip. Its just disabled by software
^^tru. Dev work is being done with our radio to try and enable it lol
I've been thinking of this for a while, thanks a lot for the clarification! :good:

Have you tried to flash the ODIN tar of Rogers JB into an i727 skyrocket ?
You might change your answer after doing so..

quick question...I have both the sprint and Tmo variants of the galaxy s2 and have a chance to pick up a skyrocket at a decent price. Which galaxy s2 do I all prefer? I originally picked up the t989 but it appears to be the sidekick 4g's bastard cousin and gets the least support due to the one off processor. Who wins the s2 fight? Btw any suggestions on new apps/roms/kernels whatever to try out?

Stay away from the skyrocket unless you neeeeeeeeeed lte that badly. It uses a snapdragon chip, which blows. The normal galaxy s2 uses an exynos chipset which is very good. Get the sprint model, make sure its not the skyrocket and youre set
my d710 of galaxy s2 is very good.!
In terms of device performance, definitely Sprint's Epic 4G Touch. It has all the same hardware as the international S2, plus an LED notification light, 4.5 inch screen and WiMax 4G, and a bigger battery. The Skyrocket has the same processor as the 989 because Exynos doesn't do LTE just like it doesn't do T-Mobile's funky AWS 3G frequency.
The Epic 4G Touch and i777 (AT&T original S2) are the best. Out of those two the AT&T model is the best in terms of ROM support, but the Epic 4G Touch is better because of the bigger screen, LED notification and bigger battery. The AT&T version can run all of the i9100 ROMs with some tweaking and it has NFC, which the Epic 4G Touch doesn't.
Hi all,
Was interested in picking up the new Bell Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE and was wondering if it was the same as the Skyrocket?
Would be interested in flashing the radio so it could be used with WInd Mobile's networks etc.
Thoughts?
