Samsung Galaxy S II vs. Skyrocket – Smartphone Smackdown! (Video)
i bought samsung galaxy s2 skyrocket and i returned it and got sgs2 only because of the pictures.. For me I think the picture quality in sgs2 is way better than skyrocket its more crisp and not pixilated.. oh by the way another reason is its hard to text in one hand on skyrocket.
Skyrocket the best!!!!!
They are generally the same phone but the skyrocket is at&t's version of the Samsung Galaxy S II

Ok, this is like the 4th thread you commented on and you clearly don't know what you are talking about. The Skyrocket is not AT&Ts version of the SGSII. That would be the I777. The Skyrocket is the LTE version of the SGSII which coincidentally is the same phone (hardware wise) as the T-mobile hercules. OP, if you live in an area that supports LTE, get the skyrocket...if not, get the regular SGSII.

Not really, T-Mobile's GSII is lacking the LTE bits of the Skyrocket (which makes both not the same hardware-wise), which is AT&T's version for the SGSII LTE.

Actually the LTE Radio is tucked away in there. Devs are working on the radio situation with that phone. They are the exact same phone. Same body, same guts, different branding. They can flash each others ROM's and radios, but they havent figured out a way to unlock the LTE radio inside of the hercules.

hi there. I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 and would like to Root my device. I downloaded the DXKL3 insecure and original file. I would like to know if it will work as mine is I900DXKF4? it is the closest i could find to my Kernel.
Please advise

Agree, galaxy SII . hands down
definitely Samsung Galaxy S2 for me, way superior
So after reading the Engadget review of the One X, I've become intrigued with the differences between the Canadian and AT&T versions of the One X. Searched and didn't see anything referencing this directly. The article says LTE should work fine on both AT&T and Canuck networks.
So, besides saying HTC at the top instead of AT&T and I suppose having Rogers bloatware instead of the usual AT&T crap, is there any other difference?

One big difference is the rogers has the ability to toggle lte off which is not the case with the at&t version

The moment we have a ROM granting that functionality, I am flashing. I do not live in an LTE area
First world problems....
Also, another difference is the ability to tether freely. Not that I use this feature. However, it would be nice.
I believe the AT&T model lacks the ability of a LTE on/off toggle, tethering and a few optings in the camera like time lapse (I think there might be one othere, not sure though).
I think most things we will be able to rip out of the International model or the Rogers model and cram them into the AT&T version. Also, Im sure custom roms will add all of these features back in.

Sounds good. Well I pre-ordered like most of you and see mine has shipped. Can't wait until tomorrow!
Is there any PHYSICAL difference to the exterior of the AT&T version? Are the phones identical apart from CPU and software?

Yes, it will, I have a Rogers One X and used the micro sim from the AT&T One X in it. But the trick is getting them to add the LTE data plan to your account. If you already have an AT&T branded LTE device, then you shouldn't have a problem. But good luck getting them to add an LTE data plan to your account if you don't. They insist on using IMEI numbers now to determine which data plans you can add to the account. Your best bet is to borrow or buy a cheap LTE AT&T phone, get your data plan switched to an LTE one, get a micro sim, get them to activate it on your non-micro sim device ,and then switch the micro SIM to your Rogers One X.
It is possible, just a PITA.

The AT&T version of the One X has a snapdragon dual core processor as opposed to the international version that has the Nvidia Tegra quad core processor. This is due to the Tegra processor not being compatible with LTE .http://www.att.com/onex/
Does anyone know if the external measurements of the two One X's are the same?
Thanks guys

I am currently on the Unlimited iPhone Data plan, and they switched me over to the LTE Unlimited Plan with an LTE IMEI. I might buy the One X from Rogers Unlocked.
Thanks for the above info, all I wanted to know if the LTE was working.

Between the LTE ones yes. International and LTE ones are different
Both the Canadian(Rogers) One X and US(AT&T) One X are the Same Device other than the sofware running on it, and the lithographed branding under the glass at the top (one say's htc, the other AT&T printed backwards on the underside of the glass)
Both are the PJ8310000
If there was a variation in the hardware one would have a different digit in this number
like the Telus DHD and Inspire 4G for example
both same device, different housing (for branding) <- why it got the different number
Telus DHD was PD9814000 and the Inspire 4G was PD9812000 (International was PD9810000)
THE CANADIAN AND U.S. ONE X'S ARE THE EXACT SAME DEVICE.
THEY ARE INTERNATIONALLY KNOWN AS THE 'ONE XL'
THE ONLY THING DIFFERENT IS THE SOFTWARE ON IT.
(that includes software customization, rf channel configs, dz data, etc...)

when you guy's get root, you'll be able to swap the services.jar, services.apk and get the same thing for yourselves.
ps: other than the boot/down annimations - being pointed to by ../CID/default.xml, the 'scene' addidion/layout in ../MNS/default.xml (both the customize folder), and carrier apps, the rogers rom is vanilla.
I'm not familiar with the Rogers software. I'm in the US and eyeing a Rogers version, if I were to get one from say Negri, does it have FREE wifi hotspot?
Not in an LTE area

From what I have seen, when you are not in an LTE area the LTE is disabled and doesn't kill your battery. It's still be nice to have a toggle though.
For tether, why not just root and use WiFi Tether?

Hi XDA members n mods and devs! hehe
so I have a really disturbing question and I want to be very2 careful when I buy The HTC one X
my biggest question is how to know if the HOX is AT&T or International version? does it have some kind of logo or something?
second does the AT&T and International version have differences in terms of internal memory?
thanks and please reply quickly? I'm planning to buy this phone next week.^^

AT&T version is dual core, international is quad core. The AT&T version has 16 gigs of storage whereas the international version has 32.
Do you want a AT&T One X in particular or just a Evita from North America?
Rogers, Telus and such all have the same phone but have less restrictions.
Also you could buy an Evita from many places in the world but you need to take care with what LTE frequencies it supports. If you are in NA you should buy a NA phone.

System Settings > about phone > hardware information
Should say at the top Dual Core or Quad Core. Dual Core is the AT&T, Rogers, Telstra One XL.
This post was created and transmitted completely in analog.
So I just switched from Sprint to T-Mobile and am very happy. I like the fact that I have a sim card and can switch it from hone to phone. I have the Samsung Exhibit II 4G and like the phone. My question is there any "rugged" phones out there that would work for T-Mobile? I also am interested in a "Rugged" flip phone that will do Phone/SMS so that if I am going to some place that might be real hard on a phone, I can put my sim in it and sill have phone and texting. I know Sanyo makes a nice small flip phone that is rugged, but I don't think it uses a sim card.
So what "Specs" am I looking for when seeing if the phone will work on T-Mobile?

I'd recommend the Motorola defy. I had one when I was with T-Mobile. I planned on going back to tmo and getting one for the same reason you want to. Overall its a great little phone.

That would be good. Is there only one defy or do I have to find one with some certain frequencies or something? Also would you know if the Casio Commando phones (http://www.casiogzone.com/) will work on T-Mobile?

I'd stick with the defy. Casio doesn't seem to be the best manufacturer. There's defys on amazon going for 188 that will work with T-Mobile

I have a Verizon model Great S2, never activated, only used via BT. Can it be activated in T-Mobile? Do I need to get it unlocked?
Thanks.
I also have the Verizon model and was told the same but not sure since I myself haven't tried to activate the watch.
Sent from my SM-G935T using XDA-Developers mobile app
I'm also wondering about the radio. Do the different models have different modems, and since the Verizon one has a CDMA modem, is it incompatible with T-Mobile bands?
If you look at Network Mode you'll see WCDMA/GSM (auto connect) so I'm guessing you could, I would check to see if yours is the same, which I wouldn't be surprised if it was. I have a 2nd hand Gear S2 that was bought from TMO. Then again, what do I know since I was too chicken to buy a Verizon one to find out before buying the one I have.
OK, I live chatted with Samsung and called their support phone line. According to both, the carrier versions are carrier locked, and cannot be unlocked. So, no switching between carriers. They told me I'll need to buy another Gear S2 if I want to move to another carrier.
If the Verizon version is capable of LTE then it should be carrier unlocked out of the box just like their phones. It was part of the stipulation for them to be able to buy the extra spectrum they bought a while back.

Anyone tried to Verizon Gear S2 on a GSM network (AT&T or T-mobile)?
Just bought a Gear S2 for $99 refurbished and thinking maybe I should have bought GSM because or worldwide compatibility.
None of the Gear S2 have LTE which is carrier compatible. Verizon Sprint have CDMA 3G and AT&T and T-Mobile have GSM 3G.

I activated my S2 Verizon on Page Plus. Put a $10 pin on it that will last 120 days.
$0.10/min talk, $0.05 text, $0.10 meg data.
Given my experience with the Gear S this is enough for my needs when I'm occasionally without my phone.

JB can you say more on how you got it activated I'm on Page Plus? Something like that would be perfect for me. Just order a T-mobile S2 Classic. Thanks.

Besides the network do you think the device will operate normally, do the S6's have same connectors/digitizers?
