Official word from Samsung: Galaxy s II coming in august. - Galaxy S II General

All,
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2388808,00.asp
Samsung says "sometime in august". Hope I can continue waiting. Been off contract on my 3gs for 1 month and it's killing me.

Yes I read a similar article at mobile burn website that the GSII will be released most likely on the three major carriers (sorry four), not sure.
Your best bet is to buy the international version of the Galaxy SII b/c it comes completly unlock and you will take advantage of all, I mean all of its features then to buy the at&t or other American Telecom variant b/c they will mess them up very bad.
They giant telecoms will install their own software and firmware that they'll even disable the most menial features the Galaxy SII can perform and in order to fully enjoy it you'll have to end up rooting it and having to install custom ROMs (nothing wrong with that if your'll willing to take the dive), but I love my unlocked Galaxy SII.

Normally I'd know who you're talking about, except all signs have pointed towards Sprint getting one so now I'm not sure who you mean!

Well pao23 which carrier are you on now? I'm on at&t and it was convenient for me to get the unlocked Galaxy SII b/c it is compatible with at&t's HSPA+ network on frequencies of 1900/850 Mhz (which are the ones here in America on at&t), but if you have Sprint, then it uses a different technology (CDMA) not GSM/HSPA+ so you'll have to wait until the CDMA version is released by Sprint.

HEY AMERICA! I'll probably have a quad core phone by the time the SGS 2 gets onto your soil!

Samsung will sue Apple immediately if they release an LTE enabled iPhone 5.

Wow, look at that:--
Samsung confirmed it will sue Apple immediately if it releases an LTE device. This seems directed squarely at the new iPhone as currently the iPad does sell with LTE on board. Obviously, this legal case is just a start of a huge change, not the end of anything.
Considering Apple iPhone 5 is almost certain to come with LTE on board, let's see what happens.

Interesting, but it all depends where the patents are valid. In California they ruled in Apple's favour and fined them a billion dollars; in Korea they were seeking damages of only sixpence and a can of baked beans...

Galaxy S4 soon to be released, now is the time to complain about missing sources!

Hello
With the S4 soon to be released (in april) theres a lot of talk about the phone on Facebook and on Twitter. It is therefore a good time to start writing on Samsungs' Facebook- and Twitter pages about the promised sources that we never recived and how you feel about that.
Hopefully we will get a response from Samsung (it has worked before) and if not we might have saved some people the trouble we have had with the lack of Exynos 4 sources.
This might be our best chanse to get the Exynos 4 sources sense Samsung probably don't wan't alot of bad pr on social networks right before the S4 going to be released.
I wounder if the S2 and S3 will stop getting official CM support sense the lack of sources is why the S4 won't get it.

Nope, given up on whining about it. The effective (and much more satisfying) tactic is never buy another Exynos device again ever.

And how is that going to give us the sources for Exynos 4?
They couldn't even release any thing. But if they loose a single sell I would be happy for it!

Will N9005 work worldwide?

Hi, if i am buying the n9005 instead of n9000 then will it work worldwide? The thing is that N9005 only has Snapdragon 800 whereas N9000 has Octacore 5420 which is faster.
Better off buying 9000 if you want full capability minus lte. 9005 is the better choice if you want lte but don't plan on using lte in the USA. And claiming either one is faster is moot because they're both fast. The choice for me would be which is more efficient if you're not including lte into the equation.
Region Lock
B"H
It appears that all the phones, including the N900 and the N9005 are region locked. Meaning, if you buy a Euro version - it will not work with a USA sim card, and vice-versa.
Samsung really screwed this one up, big time.

One bought in the Americas. There is a thread in the Note 3 General forum discusssing the specific limitations of the "unlocked" Note 3 which now turns out to be only partially unlocked.

AT&T Galaxy Note Edge on Straight Talk (Results)

Hello, I bought the AT&T Variant not looking into the Developer Forums and not Knowing AT&T also Locks bootloaders, Coming from Verizon on the GS4 (Rooted/Safetrap/Hyperdrive Rom) i should of known better and did a little more research on the device but it was a quick decision since i was already in the AT&T store and this just dropped that week, i had to have it. Fell in love, compared with the N4.. Eh wasn't that impressive i wanted something no one had and to make my iPhone drones friends envy. So i was gonna activate with AT&T but i remembered that Straight Talk uses the same Towers as AT&T i decided just to buy a kit and run a few tests myself, quickly learning how to get the best APN and doing multiple tests with different APN's i finally hit that sweet spot. and im glad to share my results on how to have a massive power horse at the tip of your fingers for a fraction of that high ugly contract bill from AT&T.

I totally agree with you.
Coming from a Verizon Note 2 and using it on Straight Talk, H+ wasn't doing it for me.
And since it also has a locked bootloader, I kind of killed it with the new root.
I need the phone for work so I took the dive and bought the phone yesterday from AT&T.
Today I find out that it also has a locked bootloader but I'm not going down the root path anymore so no big deal there.
I inserted the 4G LTE Straight Talk Sim card, set up the APN and it's AWESOME. I finally know how it feels to have LTE speeds.

Are there any issues with buying an X Play from a carrier? (XT1563 model)

I'd like to get one and my easiest way of acquiring one is through a local carrier, but I'm worried if it will have some kind of pitfall. Will I stop getting updates? Will they be slow to arrive? Can it be turned to a stock pure version without the bloatware via a stock rom? Is it worth it? Keep in mind it's the XT1563 latin american version. And the carrier is Nextel.
I bought mine from Mercadolibre (XT1563), I wasnt aware I got the double sim version until I opened it, it seem mine runs with the iusacell rom.
I have been asking my self the same questions.
Updates may be a bit slower to come out. As for bloatware, the only one I found on my Koodo device was the Koodo Self Serve app.
I got mine through Telus, it doesn't have anything extra (Telus bloatware). Updates come in not to bad from them (timely).

Do you try 4g LTE networks with other carriers like Telcel?

Yup, 4G works really nice, at least on Telcel network in my area.
