One week S2 is enough...

Hello,
after one week i am done with my S2.
This phone is fantastic. But I am going back to apple...Dont ask why, i realized that I am an iphone boy
(If someone is interested in S2, message me..)

Ahhh, is the SII a bit too complicated for you....

I'll trade my 16GB iPhone 4 for your Galaxy S II!

That's a shame. I have a jailbroken 32gb iP4 that I plan on getting rid of once my SG2 arrives (if it ever arrives).

i was thinking of doing same thing do to bad optimization regarding battery but i will still waiting for samsung and google to get a fix.

I made the switch from an iPhone 4 to the SGS2 and I'm never looking back. Not that the iPhone 4 is a bad phone, it is by no means. I simply like the customization of Android more and the SGS2 delivers great performance as well as flash in the browser.
The only thing I'd say I miss the more polished apps for the iPhone, not that all are but a few.
Still sticking with Android after 8 months on iOS. Will probably never go back to iOS either..

Also came from an iPhone 4 to the Samsung Galaxy S2 - very nice experience indeed and this is EASILY the smoothest and fastest implementation of Android so far. Only let down is apps and wifi so far but it beats it in every other way...

Which apps on iOS are you guys missing on Android?. Just curious.

Epic Fail.

I get mine next week Thursday.. can't wait lol

Are you a female? If so I can understand why, if not grow a pair.

8 posts, no reasons, not trading, good reason to post rly

I won't. This is already a kick ass phone, I won't bother updating for a while UNLESS it has a 4.8" screen, and a 2200 mah battery already in it

IF iPhone 5 can do better than SGS II first.

Ridiculous. Plethora of problems with the S2, yet they're already planning on the S3? Screw these guys.
As much as I hate Apple, as least when they release a product, it usually works right.

Put me on that list too.
No problems at all.
If the S3 comes I will sell the S2 and buy the S3.
Simple is that.

If any of you guys are Galaxy experts, I beg of you to take a look at this thread, check out my post toward the bottom, and tell me if you have any idea why things are the way they are.....

Iphone4 could not even hold a call when it was first released

What has this got to do with the Galaxy S3.
You are trying to hi-jack another thread when you have been advised to take back your faulty phone in a previous thread.
As stated, others do not have this problem.

i dont think they will release GS3 to compete whit iphone 5... Come on whats the point? GS2 alredy beats iPad 2 browsing benchmark so whats the point off GS3?

Just Marketing guys. I bet that even if sumtin is improved it is just as minot as it can be. Sgs2 is Top notch!

Same here...
Also, SGS II was released on May(in Europe), i dont think they would released SGS III only 5 months later unless its not really the SGS III but a SGS I9102 or SGS I9103 or something like that which would be the same SGS II but with some selected less features to decrease its price, as happened with the SGS and their SGS I9001, I9003 and SCL...
Not to mention that i thought the released of the SGS 3 was announced to 2012(one reason, may be to analyzed Iphone's 5 new features and improve them on the SGS3)...even though they obviously may have changed their mind...

i9103 was already launched, it's the SGS2 with the NVIDIA Tegra processor instead of the Samsung's Exynos of the i9100. The S3 should be i9200.

Please close this thread already... the second batch of pics were floating around before the S3 even came out lmfao...
There is no WAY they are even remotely close to deciding what the S3 looks like nevermind creating prototypes.

yes the pics are bogus ...but Samsung claims that the S4 will be nothing like what anyone can imagine ....the S4 will be a whole new generation of a smartphone ...many new technologies will be introduced
so if everyone thinks that the Galaxy S2 & S3 are impressive ...iam sure the S4 will rock the world ...it has to for Samsung to survive
if Apple doesn't sue the life out of them by then

all i know is when Samsung got the final judgement.... Apple Stock hit the moon + the cool 1 billion dollars they got ....Apple isnt going to just go away ! ....Samsung has to make some serious things happen & fast ....thats my 2 cents

Love the S3's design. Hope it stays that way instead of being a rectangle

Samsung is much, much, MUCH larger than their mobile division. Saying Samsung won't survive because one of their clients is suing a foreign office of their mobile division is like saying the USA will go bankrupt because IBM Argentina lost money.

I couldn't have said it better myself. Saying Samsung will go broke because of 1 device is a statement of stupidity: they don't know jack about Samsung. They don't know that whatever happens, Samsung is in a win-win position: if Apple takes the hill, Samsung wins, because they provide several key components (like DDR memory) for the iCrap devices. Samsung's solid state and IC business is waaay larger than their mobile division. What we see with Samsung phones is like the tip of the iceberg. They manufacture ICs and components that are used in every single industry: manufacturing, military, health, telecom, etc, etc, etc.
BTW, why are people feeding these trolls?

I don't care what it looks like, just get rid of the f½#$£# physical home button and I'll be happy.

Now their stock is gone back down again because of ip5 disappointment and not-as-impressive-as-hoped sales figures.
They haven't got one cent of that 1 billion dollars yet and its looking more and more likely that they won't be getting it at all.
Their rubberband patent has been deemed invalid as of today, bring on the appeals.
The USPTO is finally copping on to what apple are doing, I wouldn't be surprised to see this happen to more of their patents.

WARNING!!! Fake vs Real Note 4

Warning!! I just came across this at work when my co-worker asked me to set up his phone. I realized something was wrong when I saw the screen and size of this note 4. I decided to show it off for those who is considering picking up one from ebay or Craigslist. See the comparison from a real note 4 and see for yourself. There's no real difference w/ the software but the hardware might be a concern since the battery(charger) is not Original it might blow-up or melt. The fake one is really flaky and has weird random vibration and I would not recommend using it at ALL!!

Is the bootloader unlocked? Jk.

They make and sell a replica of the note 4' I've seen s couple of really good knockoffs, but they run like sh.t. Your boy got a fake phone

Update: my friend said the phone got too hot and screen is barely visible.

Thank God I got mine from the Verizon store and not Amazon.

Is this even a problem if you have Verizon? Just pop your Verizon SIM into it and it shouldn't activate.

I was kind of wondering why this was posted in the Verizon thread. From the painted back to the locked boot, it seems pretty easy to tell if a Verizon phone is the real deal. With that said, compared to the TMO phone, buyer beware

I prefer the color of the fake's one

Returned phone. Getting a new one

Hi guys!
Recently, My Samsung`s Galaxy S7 Edge screen had bad lines on it. I sent it on warranty.
They couldn`t repair it so they gave me some papers to go to the shop and get a new one. There were no black ones so I decided to get a refund.
Here`s a question.
Should I go again for S7 Edge, try iPhone 7 which I heard is faster or maybe wait for S8?

Im also thinking they will build a great s8. After the note 7 fiasco, Samsung sure won't to present a phone that shows all of Samsung's know-how.

Iphone is for someone who only want a phone, if you like a pocket comuter you should go for anything with android.

iPhone is definitely a no-no for me. I'm not the typical Apple hater (I have a good old Retina MacBook Pro 2012 and I love that thing) but well... iOS is what it is, with all its "artificial" limitations Apple enforces to control it, control the user experience, control what you can do with it.
For me the iPhone + iOS platform = wasted potential
