Galaxy S 2 Skyrocket.

You're welcome.
Thanks, looks good.

Unless you live in a 4G area, I would get the regular Galaxy S2 over the Skyrocket, better battery life and better screen.
Everywhere I read says the Skyrocket has teh better battery?


Also, our phone doesn't do 4g? I swear when I bought it the dude told me it did lol.

It does (HSPA+), but Skyrocket is built specifically FOR 4G and that is it's major selling points.

Wait, what's that? 4g?

I'm so confused now lol.

So my phone is now on 4g as of whenever ATT finally turned it on?

If so, my phone is definitely fast, but not noticeably faster, and certainly not 10 times faster like they claim.

they already did that, its only certain people that aren't getting them

Your phone can hit 4g hpsa+. But only the skyrocket can hit 4g lte (pure 4g)....which wont matter for 95% of us who don't live in an att 4g lte market.

Well, I don't know, because ATT went to 4g in my area now, and my phone, again while super fast, is not any faster at all then before that day.


And I don't see any 4G thing at the top of my screen. But to be fair, it's also never displayed 3G at the top either.

You should see hpsa+ and that's 4g. Just not 4g lte. Truth is, none of att's speeds are truly 4g.

Well shit, I do sometimes have a thing that says H+ with some arrows below. Sometimes the arrows are lit, sometimes not.

But...I've been seeing that since I got my phone, not just this past week, so I don't know how I was having it before the 5th lol.

Take the droid back and get a 4GS like you should have done in the first place.

Downgrading seems a little silly.

You sell it on Craigslist and get a Bluetooth headset. Other than that, no. Never buy proprietary shit or you end up like a moron named Seeit.

no but the buttons on it were to control mobile phone headsets, and *works with iphone*

the hangup/answer button works and it plays/pause music, but not pandora, or other apps and the volume buttons dont work at all

i can easily do the volume on the side of the phone its just a convenience issue

I'm having trouble with the AIM app on my phone. I'm not getting any type of notification, either audible or visual, when someone sends me a message. I don't know that one's been sent until I actually check the app itself and by then it's usually hours after the message has been sent. I've checked all the menus and settings and can't figure out what to do. Any help?

Same issue for me.

Since AIM did that dumb new update where it all looks different on the app, I'm hit or miss on getting IMs as a text message when i'm not logged in. Sometimes, I'll log in on my computer, and I'll immediately get some message from who knows how long ago.
