what to upgrade to? my options? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i wonder how the sgs-2 is doing
as an upgrade from the sgs i9000 should i go for it or is another crazy specd phone out ?
thinking of upgrading but will still keep the sgs as a backup
4g is out of the Q since my provider is only thinking about it, latest models from htc? samsung? Sony?
looking for top of the line specs here

If you are looking for top of the line you should consider the SGS2. I just played with this phone for an hour and it is blazing fast and really beautiful, the widgets, touchwiz, bigger screen, animations, time of response...everything is better.
And it has no real competitor.
Just check some reviews betwen HTC Sensation vs. Galaxy S II vs. Optimus 2X and you will see that it is not a head-to-head competition.

thanx for the advice ^_^

Wait for iPhone 5 .. it may be worth it.. I say this cause there is still the age old problem of battery drain and ocassional lag here n there .. when it comes to smoothness n reliability android is behind ios. But if it were me I'd probably go for s2 cause of d SCREEN..

thanx for the info, id keep the iphone and its ease of use to my old folks, im sticking with android and the big community. Things are progressing like crazy, its simply amazing
P.S
the Sgs II is selling like crazy, and amazingly its only ordered in small numbers around the mobile phone shops
went looking for 1 today and had no luck, small Q here does it only come in 16gb internal mem ? i hear there's a 32gb version but nowhere to be found or am i wrong?

SGS2 + MIUI Rom = Ideal

Your next phone?

After owning the galaxy there's no question in my mind most of us will remain with Samsung and android especially people who use custom Roms. But what's next after having this amazing phone?
It has been a year now since I've had mine, and obviously its soon time to upgrade.
For me I think ill skip the galaxy S 2... I don't think its worth the upgrade just yet.
I am waiting to see if Samsung will release a phone with 2gigs of ram and maybe a quadcore? 2ghz CPU?
That's my dream within the next year but that's unlikely so ill likely settle for 1.5 gig in each and dual core CPU.
I wonder what area will get more attention in the near future.
Galaxy S III but its not out till later next year or the Nexus Prime
Possibly a Nexus 3 or a Galaxy S III. I really wanted a Nexus One but the GS is my first Android phone and the Nexus s wasn't all that appealing to me. I don't plan on buying a new phone until early next year so right now I would say it could be either of those two.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
I'll skip the SGS2 also and wait for number three, right now with all the custom roms I am very pleased with my SGS
What do you guys believe should be the focus of future upgrades?
Battery life?
More features? 4g etc nfc .. better front facing camera?
Or performance improvement?
We know they will attempt to do it all but the likelihood of pulling off everything is very low.
Samsung Galaxy Note 5,3 Zoll
SGS II .

I think that they must give us a battery which can last for days otherwise, why do I need the phone which is on the power almost every night? What if I want to take it to the hiking or camping? Or, they can make solar cells in the back. There is nothing else that they can add to this phones , maybe altimeter, barometer. But I think they will go the pc way, programs and games will get bigger and needy, so performances will follow..

For anyone else not happy about battery life on the SGS, get yourself a Samsung Armani 1650Mah battery. (Same physical size as stock!)
I get a day to day and a half with no problems, and I abuse my battery. (especially with the display and browsing)
I can easily make it through the day on a full charge...

The only thing I've noticed to be washed out is the App Icons on the Play Store. Everything else seems fine. And has anyone noticed how awesome the whites are? It shocked me. Probably because I've been using an S II for almost a year now.

Really? I get just over 2 days use out of my Galaxy SII and thought that was amazing since my iPhone 3Gs was needing a charge almost evert 10 hours. My Xoom goes 5 days with moderate use on a single charge. My Galaxy Tab 7.7 WiFi also gets about 4-5 days too.
'Course most of this is nothing compared to what my old Nokia 3310 & 1100 could do, but that's the trade off with smartphones.
Are your ando devices rooted? Maybe try another custom ROM.

Nokia is no longer the king because he does not want to change the operating system uses and whether it has simbyan
How do the speakers sound on the 7?
I don't actually have N7 yet
I'm still on the fence. How's the device so far, for all of you that have it? Is the audio really horrible like I've read in some posts? What'd the back of the device made of?
I'm currently getting my basics before I transfer (to maybe UH/A&M/UT) for a degree in Petrol Eng. Is this something you guys/gals think would benefit me in anyway? Especially being in Calculus classes right now. I've never had a tablet or had any friends with a tablet, so I'm not sure how to determine if a tablet is right for me.

What new android phone should I get?

Hey guys, pretty straight forward.
Just to let you know, I really don't want an HTC one x, or any other phone with poor battery life.
Things that matter:
Screen size: 4in+
Processor
Camera quality
HARDWARE in general
Overall feel of the phone in your hand
I would prefer the least amount of plastic on the phone as possible.
Thanks guys

Do you have a carrier preference? Are you wanting to stay with VZW?
HTC EVO 4G LTE.
Outstanding battery life.
16GB internal storage and a micro sd slot.
Blazing fast processor.
It feels solid as a rock.
It has the best screen of any phone I have ever used, 4.7 inch.
The camera on this phone is phenomenal. Here is a thread with pics from it.
All in all this is the best phone I have ever owned.
The evo 4G is very intriguing.
As far as carrier, I don't care at all.
So far the phones in the race are:
Sony xperia ion
HTC evo 4g
Samsung galaxy s3
These are just so far. Feel free to offer any handset as a suggestion. I'll put up a poll when I get into the preliminaries.

I'm jelly of ya'll that have more than one carrier with service in your area.
Does the Nexus not even get a honorable mention simply because it gets the newest Android versions before any other phones? I agree that there is better hardware on the market, but I love showing off all the new features before anyone else gets them. My buddy just posted on fb how he got ICS on his RAZR, I replied "It can't do a barrel roll." Its fun to be smug about firmware lol.
I got my hands on a SGSIII and I liked it allot, big good looking screen, felt good in my hand, fast and smooth. I rooted it and gave it back to my buddy. Plus the Galaxy S phones have good development so you wont be waiting too much longer than Nexus for custom ROMs and such..
The nexus was in the running, but the camera threw it out for me.
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app
If you want to be certain you'll get 1st party updates without waiting them definitely Galaxy Nexus. The camera, however, isn't too good.
Personal suggestion is S2. I haven't found one con from this phone, it's fast,I like its screen,a lot of development here, camera is excellent. It also packs a 1 6GB flash memory and a micro SD slot.

Down load NoLED from the Play store. No root needed. Works great and I say even better than the LED that comes with the S3. With NoLED you know exactly what you missed.
When I first went to capacitive buttons from the HD2, I had thought that I missed them. Then I got the S3 and I knew instantly I missed the capacitive buttons.
Give NoLED a try and I think you'll be happy.
---
I do wish the Note did some of the things the S3 does: Like video previews and HDR photos in the camera options. I know there are other apps that can do that but I like the stock of it.
The one thing I was extremely glad that Note doesn't do vs the S3 is the gallery previews. The S3 gallery shows every picture in a tile mode like preview, the Note shows them in a group mode preventing embarrasing moments if some one looks at your gallery.
LOL..... I hear you rosedog.... Hey not to change the subject (of videos/photos)..... But I downloaded "Dice Player"..... enables a smaller/floating video player window over top of what app you're running (just like the stock capability of the GS3).... It works pretty well, too

Thinking of buying a galaxy note but have a few questions

I'm getting a really good deal on a note. I wanted to know wether the features from note2 have been ported to the orignal note, specially multiscreen. Does the note have enough processing power to run it smoothly?
My friend is on stock ICS and his phone is quite laggy even without too many apps. I did hear the ICS upgrade sucked but I didn't expect this. I wanted to know wether the installing custom ROMs would make the s pen useless?

1) Multiscreen is not yet ported from Note 2 to the original Note..
2) I have 100+ apps installed on my Note & I wouldn't say its laggy..
3) ICS upgrade wasn't a flop..it came with lot of features, improved performance, battery life etc etc etc..anyways, within a month or 2, our Notes wl taste official JB..there are already couple of ROMs which were cooked from leaked samsung official kernel & seems to work as expected..
4) Installing custom roms need not to make the S-pen useless..but there r very few custom roms which does not support s pen..
Check out this thread it got some promising stuff about new note 1 JB rom 98% of things work properly

If you are thinking on buying the note , go for the second one .
We had no option back when we bought note , but now you can just go for note 2
248 Google play installed apps and a few more from XDA.
Still smooth on stock ICS ROM with hydracore kernel.
But like the other posters, better to just get the new note since you have yet to invest.

Galaxy note prooved to be a success. Initially it was expected to fail hut if u see it as a device released in 2011. It was designed futuristic. It got 3 updates on gingerbread , 2 updates for ics and now will get jelly beans soon and some are saying it will receive key lime pie. Even if the key lime pie update is not official the note gave a good outcome to those of us who owned it from the initial days. I am still ao much in love with my device and i love the s pen. It took out the artist from within me.

I know it was a good choice when it was launched but is buying it now when note2 is already out... is that a good choice... its not like a play too many games...all that matters to me is battery life and UI smoothness...

Galaxy note is more like a mini tab, note 2 more like a maxi phone as they have different aspect ratio. 16/10 vs 16/9. For multiscreen ot will be ported on Note1 also, I guess, by xda developers. Don't know if it will arrive officially by Sammy

its not important if you just use it for playing games.
For the features and specs, note is really neat if you use a custom rom.. custom roms could boost the speed..
And yes, i have a note.. but its quite laggy when i bought it
