Hello, I'm getting this device on the 8th November and I'm wondering what I should know about it, Shall I get White or blue, Hows the battery, etc, Anything you think I would benefit from can you post in a reply?
Wait for LTE version or note 2 and test them personally in the phone shop. No need to rush to buy the phone. Just my 2 cent

the colour is up to you, all the rest you can find with a very simple facility called search
But if you have the phone and have something to say about it, why don't do it than just saying use search?

I think you will find is you use search, that this question has been asked so many times all the answers/opinions have been posted already.....and all the people that answer these questions are thoroughly bored of repeating ad infinitum the same old stuff.......so do your research and all the knowledge will be yours.

Pebble blue, 32/64GB .. that's it.
The phone is amazing, no issues so far.
This is my best phone ever! Always had SonyEricsson and I'm glad I chose the S3! I tried other ROMS, but I like the stock rom from Samsung more
Build quality is okay, it's plastic, but it is well-built and with a bumper I only feel bumper and screen. I dropped out once from like 1,5mtrs got some little damage on the corners, but I can't see them with my bumper, so they don't exist.
But if I could choose now, I would have a look @ the note 2, because that's an S3+
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Yep you'll like it, and my only worry was is it to big? But now I would love note 2!

You did not answer if you have it or not. If you don't- there is nothing to whine about. I paid a lot of money for this phone, this is a huge disappointment for me. If there is enough people with this problem, maybe Samsung will do something to fix it. Anyway, this is my last post about it.

As tempting as it is not answer you, I don't have it.
Now please answer my question - do you think repeated posting will fix it?
I think xda-developers.com and Samsung Customer Support shouldn't be to difficult for even the tiniest of minds to differentiate between. I'm obviously mistaken.
So one more time - stop whining.
I have it, but its not that big of a deal I think it can be fixed with a software update.

I have it and as well as several other users, I've yet to see someone who does not have it though but there are special conditions to make this appear so its not a big deal for everyone.
I understand you just want to know if this is a defect on all or just a select number of units. On another local forum with over hundreds of S2 owners none of them reported not having a pink spot when the conditions are met.
For god sake, just download the camera software update from samsung apps, and there you go. Pink spot my ass )

Exactly. I just need to know if this problem affecting all S2 units. There are people who say that they don't have this issue.
I noticed I got the pink spot when I pointed the camera to on my carpet.
Love to download the camera firmware but Samsung didn't release it for my phone's region. Haven't had the guts to try the ones xda members updated yet.

So I bought my phone striaght out the AT&T store and I have heard repeatedly that the AT&T version of the Galaxy S II is the SGH-777 but when I boot my phone it always says GT-I9100....is there a difference? And if so does that mean I should be using a different forum to get my ROMs? Thanks for answering my question in advance and for any help provided.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
I9100 is the international version of the SGSII. If you bought it new in the U.S. it should be an i777. If it has been flashed it could have an i9100 ROM on it, but if you got it from an AT$T store I doubt that's the case.

Was your phone sealed in the box or refurbished?
Sent from my A500 using xda premium
Sounds like he somehow got a device from the store that had a custom kernel flashed on it... Same question, is there a big yellow triangle?
Was this a refurb?
Yep, sounds like someone messed with this phone before! I'd take it back and exchange it!
I dont believe stores can sell refurbished phones, only online can sell them. Either someone in AT&T was messing around with a phone and flashed a custom rom on it, or somehow an international version got slipped in... but the box would have to be a blue/white/orange box with AT&T on it.
Weird.

Yea I bought it brand new with my upgrade straight from AT&T. Lol I think I know the issue tho...I don't exactly remember what it was like stock but I've since flashed a ROM on it from this forum, maybe that explains it. I could have sworn that it always said I9100 but truthfully I might not have noticed it til after I flashed.

Before rooting my phone for the 1st time, I read the entire FAQ and knew that if I used methods that tripped the flash counter I would get the caution mark boot screen.
Your first post makes it seem like your phone came rooted from the store, when that wasn't the case.

jamie's temper is not just out of the blue
if users would take the time to read the first 2 posts in which i update frequently then things would be different. but they dont so someone has to say something as im sick of reporting posts and users getting warnings its utterly pointless, so i speak up
99% of info can be found in the op's on how to fix issues, if it isnt search the thread everything has been covered and if all else fails www.google.com is your best friend, use it and abuse it. *then and only then as the op states, you are to post and in full detail your issue*
yet no one does even though its right there in the op.
when users flood dev threads with non-detailed fully covered 10+ times things, someones gunna say something it just so happens that it is me most of the time as i would like users to learn to fix their own issues when its not the roms fault THIS IS WHY THERE ARE THE FIRST 2 POSTS OF THE THREAD. other wise id just have a link to download and a picture and tell users to have atter. *learning is what xda is all about*
so dont mistake my temper as a bad thing and look at the big picture i give more thanks, appreciation and help then "temper" msgs
now maybe you can see where some of the stress and frustration comes from. and why other dev's have left over it.

The new update is cool except I lost the ability to make my status bar and navbar transparent. The way the toggles are represented is different and not really welcome. This has nothing to do with how you built the rom but I will stay on the Oct 2 build until my issues are resolved.

There is a huge range of games from racing to shooting. You can also root and install custom ROMs if you are bored of your current one. You should actually go and search about user reviews instead and not posting a thread here. But yeah, S2 is great I have been using it for a year now.

You might not like the same things others like. Instead of asking people for help in thinking, why don't you download some games/apps/whatever from the Play Store and try them out yourself? That way you can form your own opinion. (if you are capable of doing so)

Hi guys,
I sold my S2 because the screen was broken but now I'm thinking about buy another one.
My doubt is, should I buy another SII or instead go for the Gnexus?
SII - > 250€
Galaxy Nexus -> 275€
Both are new phones and I have the chance to buy for a great price.
I know many of you will say "go for Nexus 4" but it isn't coming to Portugal soon and I need a phone ASAP (nexus 4 is out of stock 4 life).
I know pros and cons of both, but they look very similar and my kind of use fits the both.
My question is, with these prices, which phone would you go?
I have s2 but i'm for gnexus, why? because of larger hd screen, opensource everything, ... I buyd s2 because it was cheaper than gnex and have better graphics card oh, also, i don't like gnex because of not having memory card slot
Thanks !
I would like to have more replys!

Well thread locked. I usually don't like these threads as it leads to, you guessed it flaming. If you ask in device forums obviously your answers will be skewed. You should never buy a device because of "he say she say" specially from a forum. The specs are more than available, the frustrations of the devices are as well.
