Hi,

The only question now is when will we have the first builds ?

In 6 month just like with 2.2 x_x ( I guess )

Are they going to ruin 2.3 just like they did with 2.2?

No one ruined 2.2 the sgs phones are essentially programed/built differantly. The main reason it hasn't come out officially(besides leaks) is because of th bugs. Personally I would first tackle 2.2 rather then hoping for 2.3 which just was released.

I guess, 2.3 update will be esaier for Samsung. At moment, 2.1 - Touchwiz supports such lang what vanilla 2.1 don't (east-eu: sl, cz, hu, ro, etc...)...
I think, Samsung don't want/know translate 2.2 for these langs too, but 2.3 Android is officially supoorts almost all EU langs.
I guess we will get 2.3 before end of January.

Just to highlight thats from Samsung India, there is no reason to take it as being an official Samsung reply or something that will happen.

I can't wait for Ginger Beard.

Gingerbeard eh! Please do the needful .

Some of you don't realise that 2.1 and 2.2 is mainly optimise for HTC's hardware. When 2.2 came out, Samsung's engeneer had to rebuit many drivers and reprogram a lot of stuff to get it working.
Now, with Nexus S, Google themselve are working on a native built so porting will most likely be a peace of cake (or cookie ). Samsung will most likely just put their bloatware in top and woala!! Optimized built!

wow, this sounds good! hope we'd get stock google os with none of samsung's crapware in it

I hope you right, because how`s my phone works now, just drive me crazy.
My old nokia 5800 even working faster... and needed much less restarts!

Nice I don't think it's gonna take a long time as the nexus S will be running 2.3 and it is almost the same hardware as the galaxy S so it should be easier to adapt 2.3 for samsung. 2.2 was developt by google for HTC Nexus one, but 2.3 has been developt for samsung. So keep a little hope. I'm prety sure we'll get some nexus s rom ported to our phone really soon though.

Well Nexus S is in colaboration with Samsung, and its the Galaxy Family anyway... So I think the update will be sooner than we think.

Nexus S however is stock Android, SGS must have the whole of Touchwiz 3 ported to it.

Can't they just put TouchWiz in the Samsung app market when it's done?
I know they won't though...

Your drive is admirable however, you need to correct your grammar in that petition for sure. I am not trying to insult you, but that is a mess. I think (my opinion) you need to word it so that it is not so threatening in an al-Qaeda sorta way. If you need help with that, PM me.

I signed!!!

holy cow she is scary.
keitht is right though. If you want to be taken seriously by Motorola or potential adult signatories then you need to clean up the grammar. Additionally, in my opinion, It would be more effective if you phrased it to seem less petulant.

Yea...sorry frustrated. The site wont let me update it though. Stuck with it now.

I don't know how that petition site works so not sure if you can edit your existing text, but it should only include the facts of the issue which are:
- microSD card support does not work 4 months after release
- no word on when 4G support will be available 4 months after release
As we wait, neither of the above features work as we watch other tablets release with fully functional microSD slots and 4G support.
My opinion (and is only my opinion) at this point, I have lost 1/2 the value of the tablet for the features that should have already been implemented. Maybe even more since the Xoom was already priced more than any tablet that released with these features working.

Put that in the comments of the petition that way when I print it out they see all that.
I just see all these concerns being wasted in this forum when they could be put there and printed out and mailed ya know.
So please don't waste those great thoughts in here anymore

A petition can't be changed once it's live, else people can sub X for Y and subvert the original premise.
BTW,
http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/petition/internet.asp

I signed! . . .

I signed it although I think it should have been proofed better. But that does not take away the fact that we have been screwed with the microSD card and 4G issue four months later. Xoom 2 talk already? Are you kidding me? Xoom 1 was never finished.

I am liking the comments. More of that said and we got something.

Check it out and share your thoughts!

there is no 4G stamp after Sprint on the back so it is a nice fake.
also word on the street is that all the US variants of the SGS2 will have the Nvidia Tegra2 chipset, so not much of a difference from other phones on the market. I personally wont own another Samsung for awhile, as they have little to no support for the community , and really just suck for delivering stuff that satisfies US carriers so updates coming to the US take forever!

Uh.. As far as I know, the phone won't have 4G...

Isn't there a samsung thread for a post like this I know there is so please put it over there. It doesn't belong in the EVO forums.

I don't have any info one way or the other, but that wouldn't make a lot of sense. The Epic has it. The two current phones it will sit next to (Photon and E3D) have it. This is flagship phone, and it wouldn't make sense for it to lack 4G.
Not saying you're wrong, just saying it wouldn't make sense.

It wouldn't make any sense for this phone to NOT have 4G, what are you smoking?
Even if Sprint switches to LTE, it won't happen anytime soon, so that surely won't impact this phone.
Also, the rumor about the U.S. variants having Tegra 2 processors isn't entirely right, it was rumored other territories might have the Tegra 2 included, but the U.S. is the least likely to have the Tegra 2. Not saying there's no chance, but it seems pretty slim.

Samsung GalaxySII models for AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint break cover

First off I feel this warranted a new thread altho we have some very similar.
But this provides more solid info that what I saw we currently have.
Merge if needed.

So while we reported yesterday that the Samsung Galaxy S II won’t be heading to Verizon, the silver lining comes in the fact that the three other major wireless carriers will indeed be getting their own models. So, the big question regarding whether or not Samsung would take the previous path in releasing these new models, in creating different looking devices for each carrier has been the question since the beginning. Thanks to Pocketnow, we can finally say that we (may) know what the handsets will look like.
There isn’t a lot of information going around here. In fact, where the above image came from is anyone’s guess. And because of that, we may want to take the above leak with the normal amount of salt on hand. We’re not sure if these are the final devices for each carrier, but we imagine that it’s certainly possible. So stay tuned, as Samsung’s event is just around the corner and we’ll have all the details we could ever want (hopefully).

Keyboard (a good one, not some PoS without a dedicated number line) is make or break for me. That's why I chose the epic over the other decent phones w/keyboards out there to begin with.

Sprint usually keeps the premium phones around the $199 mark, so I wouldn't expect this to be any different. No price has been announced, but I would expect that price point, but certainly nothing higher than $249.
Me personally, I'm waiting for details on the Nexus Prime to do anything. By then, the Epic will have GB and other goodies to go with it, and the SGS2 will already have ROMs etc associated with it. I have to rely on my phone quite a bit for business, so I'm not too eager to be an early adopter. I want to ensure all the small kinks and quirks with the SGS2 are worked out before I jump on it.

Nice to see confirmation of the design in the previously-shown pic that we assumed was Sprint. Looks like a solid design. I'm going to have a real problem deciding between this and waiting for a Sprint Nexus Prime variant.
Also, thanks for citing your source instead of merely ripping off an entire article as your own.

When the SGS1 EPIC came out it was $249 and then after the 2011 the price dropped. I hope they start out at $199 cause im just gonna add a 3rd line to my account to buy the SGS2 and give my son a phone! My wife will be taking my EPIC...

ROGERS Canada - Galaxy S II LTE (a.k.a Skyrocket)

Rogers has FINALLY updated their website with the new SGS II Skyrocket which they have been saying they are getting since the beginning of the year.
The page still says "NO PAGE TITLE FOUND" when you open it so in case they mistakenly put it up too early, i screenshot it. Its apparently supposed to be released this week (which is pratically over), or early next week (im guessing the 6th, or 7th, since thats when AT&T in the states gets it)
UPDATE: Looks like the Samsung section of Rogers website is giving code 500 - Internal Error, maybe they're updating the homepage to display the new phone, or they are removing the page lol.

Yes I too was looking at this phone, and was interested in getting it. Was not sure if previous SG2 Root guides worked with the 'LTE HD'
Guess we will have to wait for it to get into customers hands.

Has nothing to do with the Galaxy S II.
Samsung fails at preventing brand dilution. The ****rocket has no business carrying the Galaxy S II name. It has NOTHING in common with the I9100 or any of its derivatives.

interesting... so you would say it is worse? just as good, or better then the SG2S?

Entropy512 you must either be a hater or just want the S2 LTE but can't get an upgrade. haha
In every thread with the S2 LTE mentioned in it, you're on it like fly on ****.

So with the S2 LTE it is a completely revised phone from any of the other galaxy series ? I am curious because I am looking into getting this phone, provided it has root access... I am new to the droid scene so any help is appreciated. Thank you

Right now there is a root method and a way to install Clockwork by using the TMo version GS2. As for ROMs and Dev support, I'm assuming once the SkyRocket is out in full force in the US we will have better Development for it.
I have both i-9100 and 1727, I like it for the LTE support and the screensize. Otherwise, they both feel the same in terms of responsiveness and speed. In fact, the browser loading speed is faster on my 1727 than my i-9100 (and I haven't subscribed for LTE yet)

Awesome, well that makes sense because it just launched in Canada. I am still reading and researching and trying to understand how to root these phones. I basically don't want to get the wrong files and brick the phone with the wrong firmware or .rom
I figured this phone was pretty dam close to the same functions as the SG2S, but had the better network protocol/SIM and the bigger screen.... perhaps that can make for some dev changes for how the phone works with root files and so on.

Hey guys, the Skyrocket just got it's own thread. Here's the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1399
