Whats the deal? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Ook soo att realeased the samsung galaxy s ii and now they have the samsung galaxy s ii skyrocket.. my concern is why is ics available for the first one and for the skyrocket isnt available.. what more they can possibly do eventho the beta is already been made the only bat thing was the battery but they had like 3 months to fix it.. this phone is the same thing to the first one they made.. only a larger screen, faster and its lte so i still dont get why cant they let us know when the phone weill recieve the update.

Why are people stressing about an update? We have cm9 and aokp with great kernels.

Changing phone this thursday, want to know if Skyrocket is worth it

Hey guys, yeah as the description says. I'm pretty much giving away my infuse. But i want to know if the Skyrocket or LTE (candian version) is even worth the purchase. And I'm definitley not getting note lol. But yeah any thoughts on if its a good purchase or not?

Nawww, he done said it! 0_o Lol, why not go bigger?
It might just be me, but every time I ponder replacing my Infuse, I check the phone's dev section first

Lol same with me. An android might have the best specs to date but without any devs, the phone is just another paperweight.
And on topic, I wouldn't get the Skyrocket just because the battery trade off isn't worth it. I'd go with the S2 if you're in a rush for a phone now but if you're willing to wait, then I hear Samsung's going to reveal the S3 in Q2.

I would only goto the new galaxy if I would change phones.
Yeah un chaanging phones. But note won't be an upgrade option and only sII LTE is available for me to upgrade. Thought of nexus galaxy but lacking what I want.

They need to wait, the wait makes it better...... Need to know if the phone will be able to Software Update to Jelly Bean OS when it arrives. Gives us plenty of time to know.

Oh. I thought CPU development was holding things up. Either way, I'm getting it when its released. The OP could always get a Galaxy S II i777 for the time being.

Until the next OS Jelly Bean rolls out, You Won't see any Cpu development as far as apps and games using dual core..... It's a waiting game right now.

u might also check the htc sensationXL ... its a better buy..
Wait a few weeks and get the Note.
While the SGS3 will have better technology (better camera, quad-core, possible curved screen) it will only be a smidgen bigger than the Infuse. Not big enough IMO. I'd have screen envy whenever I'd see someone's Note.
Note will be the true monster of the smartphones for a long time.
if you are looking at the current line up of att phones then skyrocket is best. LG nitro is a total sgs2 rip off and even with the 1.5 ghz snapdragon dual core its a pig. I used one in the store on a fresh reboot and it was laggy as hell, it was a total disappointment and I hate sense so HTC isn't even in consideration for me. if you can see if they'll order a i777 sgs2 I'd get that despite the lack of lte. otherwise wait for something with some more development or the sgs3 or something.
Definitely wait for the sgs3 I read somewhere that it might have a 4.65 in screen so I'm waiting for that and if its like the sgs2 there will be plenty of development for it.

I was always curious about how are we gonna know whether an update, say ICS, is out for skyrocket? Is there a feature on our phone that will notify us like iOS? Or do we have to always look for the answer online?

Hi mates
Thanks yea I can't wait till someone ports ICS for skyrocket.
Sent from my %s GSM
The skyrocket will not need a port it is going to get official ics. Supposidly q1 which actually att said the vivid and skyrocket would recieve ics q1
..so really soon unless att or sammy are dragging ass.....lol which has been known to happen on occasion
hate to say it but q1 is almost over, two weeks lol. We've been shafted... again
Ics from Sammy people don't seem to like it. I love touch wizard and didn't mind it I just installed trebuchet launcher on my epic 4g touch trust me guys when it comes if you like touchwiz you will be happy if not you will be very sad. I'm in love with my skyrocket

[Q] our Samsung Infuse 4g is apparently a Galaxy S Phone

http://www.samsung.com/ca/consumer/mobile/mobile-phones/smartphones/SGH-I997ZKARWC-features
i was searching around on google and came across this link for the canadian site of the samsung infuse and our phone is listed as a galaxy s device
so does that mean we have the milestone gs 2 ?
That's the Rogers version. Notice the R at the end of mode.It is considered a Galaxy S, but I don't think the ATT version is considered one. Even though it basically the same phone.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
I think Infuse is more like Galaxy S1.5. Infuse has similar hardware look to Galaxy S2 (super amoled plus screen, back cover design, etc) but has similar spec to Galaxy S (512 ram, single core, etc)
Agreed, the occasionally overlooked and under appreciated middle child of Samsung. Born before the Galaxy S, born before the Galaxy S II. Love my phone regardless tho!!

Monday is GSII. No date yet for the Blaze 4G. Do you think we will get the new touchwiz? Probably not, but that would be awesome if we are. Hopefully there's a port for it that works on our device someday.

I would hope so, seems like Samsung would push it to the GS II and cookie cutter everyone else.

Cool let me know I actually just got the s2 from a friend for 150 and no contract i couldn't pass it up lol
I just moved to one of these from a HTC Incredible I've been running ICS on since January and I have to say, it's hard to go back to GB, but the phone is just so much better and it's the only sub 4" phone that has a dual core procesor and is reasonably priced out of contract. Anyways, hoping for ICS sooner rather than later!
ICS will be out tonight for the Galaxy S 2 ...Anyone here how long it will be until the Blaze is updated to ICS?
http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-3029
"Samsung and T-Mobile plan to release a software update for the Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G that updates the device software to Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). The dates for this future update are TBD, but this document will be updated when details become available."
Hope to see this updated soon!

I'm looking forward for the source to drop. Since the T989 uses the same general chipsets we do, I'm hoping the source will build and work for our phones (with a little coercion). It's amazing how little official msm8660 stuff there is out there.
I swear, finding source, info, etc on this stupid little phone has been a labor of love, and I run into dead ends everywhere I go :-(

Samsung galaxy SIII or Samsung Note 2?

Guys i m selling my i9003 i have learnt very much from this device about firmware custom Rom etc
But sorry to say bye ....Can any body tell me which phone should i buy .....Samsung galaxy SIII or Samsung Note 2?
Sent from my GT-I9003 using xda app-developers app
I would go for Note 2 without doubt. At similar prices (around 50-100$ diference) the Note 2 is much comfortable to use it with two hands, but Galaxy S3 is neither good on one or both hands (I hope this changes with s4)
Sincerely I will go for the HTC One (or One X+ although is a bit old). Only because of the materials, and the grip.
Yes definately go fot Galaxy Note 2.
or spend more and go for Galaxy S 4
cuz one simply doesnt go for an outdated phone

I think it's not a bright idea to choose between the 2 phone 'cus they both have the same problem when you use custom ROM. Check the team Hacksung wiki for the problems. If you like flashing, go to Sony phones (Xperia Z or ZL)
I just want better display..no laggy user interface...and most important it should get further updates.

I bought the S3. It's a great phone and I have no regrets. It seems big at first coming from the SL, but 2 days later, it just fits perfectly in the hand and the size is about as big as is comfortable for one-handed use. I use my S3 with one hand all the time.
The Note 2 seems too big. But I have never owned one.
As for the UX, the S3 is unbelievably snappy. It never lags and the screen is BEAUTIFUL.
I am using the stock ROM because it really is better than CyanogenMod. Samsung really made a beautiful TouchWiz experience on the S3. I flashed CM10.1 and I felt like I was missing out on the great features Samsung put in the S3, so I went back to stock. Vanilla android seems too empty for such a powerful phone. TouchWiz makes sense.
You can wait for the S4, but I think the S3 isn't going to lose any attention anytime soon for being such a beast of a phone. Few S3 owners are going to upgrade to the S4. S4 buyers will probably be S1 and S2 owners as well as owners of other android phones. S3 to S4 isn't a significant enough upgrade for the investment. The S3 won't lose dev support, neither Samsung support. It's getting JB 4.2.1 shortly after the release of S4 and there's already a leaked firmware, but the current official ROM is 4.1.2.
PS: The S3 forum is a wild place with a horrible atmosphere. Since I bought my S3, I still visit the SL forum frequently and enjoy the energy here. Cheers!
Thanks

NOTE 2 !!!!!
NOTE 2 is bigger, but u have to think if this is an advantage for you (maybe small hands :fingers-crossed:, or u find hard to keep it in ur jeans' pockets...). But i find NOTE 2 not very expensive and it has better performance than S3
So, what did you end up buying?
Galaxy s3...made for humans
Sent from my GT-I9003 using xda app-developers app
Welcome aboard, buddy.
I went from the SL to the S3 too. Don't regret it one bit! Welcome to the club man.
Those forums aren't as bad as I've seen some get, however, the atmosphere over here is great. Check out the S3's Indian owner's thread if you want an atmosphere like this.
Tip: try the Perseus kernel and play around with it a bit.
