[Q] Should I open my new Galaxy S 2?

So I ordered this phone, it's sitting here in the box...I am coming from the Vibrant...**** gps and now no 911 calls on 2.3/cm7/miui...
Was on monthly contract expired...signed 2yr to get this phone at 333 overnighted+tax...haven't opened it yet..I guess as soon as I do, I actually sign the contract?
Only thing is I'm not too happy about spending money on a phone that has basically only 2 roms available both stock looking GB...I am so used to the beautiful look of miui, not to mention the built in backup that has failed 0 times...its so flawless, anytime I flashed a new miui variant, it took 5 minutes to get all my apps/settings/alarm back to what it was...lockscreen music controls...custom boot animations, status bars...well everything...
Reason I am debating is, when I got the vibrant home a few weeks after it came out there was like a hundred roms available...here..not the case...and I am not writing this as any kind of a knock against the devs that ARE actually working on this phone, so please don't take it that way. I just want to be sure that there are things to come for this phone. The vibrant was a horrible experience as far as updates and Sources from samsung...already I see the ATT ver of this has ICS...again ALREADY t-mo's phone is behind...will this trend continue?
Thoughts?

You don't deserve this phone. Send it back. Now!

Did u read the whole post...I specifically said this is no way a knock on the devs that ARE actually dev. for the device...sorry If i came across bad, but I was looking for feedback from someone who has something constructive to say to my specific situation...

Send it back and put the 333 and your time into learning some of this and then you won't have to wait...you could contribute.

Is this phone going to have all the devs and rom's the vibrant had? Maybe not. A lot of people supported the vibrant and there were not as many phone choices. Android phones have expanded with more choices so the devs are more spread out. Does this phone have good roms? Yes, yes it does. And I bet more to come. Should you open your phone? Probably not since usually every time someone post something like this they turn out to be rom and dev bashers and trolls. Trade it for an amaze if your in doubt. Or appreciate what is here and have fun.

First of all guyz, lay off.. He's not being a mcdouche he's just really worried!
I was too bro.. I came to this phone from the nexus s and at first I was like.. Wtf?? 4 roms? No ics? This was about 2 weeks ago. After spending some time with beastmod though, there is no more looking back.. It's beautiful, blazing fast.. Battery will rape the galaxy s battery.
Keep in mind that this phone is only a few months old so things will pick up. There is a cm9 in the works and an miui rom as well... Unless you have way to get a galaxy nexus, this is the phone to have.. Do yourself a favor and open that box!

Your contract and buyers remorse period starts when fedex/ups drops it at your door not when you open your phone.

I Actually on tmobile USA you can return the phone within 14 days of getting it

Edit: even if you open it up believe

Coming from the Evo 3D forums to here all I see are POS's and rude people.
But to be honest I would wait until you can get it for cheaper if you really really want it.
$333 is A LOT, they had the whiter version for $99 on contract a day or two ago.
As for the dev for the phone it gets better, when I got the GSM e3d it had nothing....after a month it had a great amount of tweaks and roms

look, if you are on t-mobile you basically have two options unless you want to buy a gsm unlocked phone such as the nexus. Amaze or GSII neither have ICS. We have a cm dev with an alpha cm7 and is working on cm9. Does amaze have that? I prefer sense over touchwiz but use go launcher and don't see much touchwiz anyway. How many roms do you need? I had an evo 4g before this which has a crapload of roms but really you had sense, aosp cm based, miui.
You can wait for the next phone but when will that be? next month? spring? summer?

There's actually 4.5 roms here, you have stock(and the updated stock), cm7, juggernaut, beastmod, and a half working miui build.
On the nexus s you have vanilla android, cm7(vanilla android though it's definitely the best vanilla android), ICS(vanilla android) and miui.
Looks fairly even to me...any touchwiz roms on the Nexus S? Where's the real variety?

Yeah there are some drama dudes in here for sure! I understand your concerns.. But I'm not aware of any phones with a better combination of good support and hardware Besides that blasted nexus.. Don't know why it's only on Vaerizon.

You should leave it in the box until it becomes valueless

Well, I think you should return it, i wish i could return mine ( bought a month ago, $570)
for monthly4g $30 plan. First because the screen and lines really piss me off, and i think me buying a vibrant would of have been a better choice and upgrading my pc with the rest of the money. I'm 15 so $570 was alot of savings. If you work i guess buying it off contract and getting monthly4g wouldnt be much a loss as you would have no contract.
Also, the roms here piss me off to, and accessories available and how the colors, build quality is higher on my old $200 prepaid phone.
Edit: Also, coming from the Optimus V roms, I had alot more roms and even miui on there, just stock upgraded here.

Hey, guys. He was looking for opinions, not a lynch mob. Stop going on the offensive because some people have the gall to give a little criticism toward the phone you have - it makes the community seem worse in everyone else's eye. This isn't 4chan, and there's no need for such rude behavior.

Worth it to swap from T-Mo SGS2

So someone messaged me about them willing to straight swap their Galaxy Nexus with my SGS2 (T-Mobile). Was wondering if it's worth it and what would be the advantages to me swapping (aside from ics). I've read about some issues with screen banding, cracked screens on the top left (or maybe it was right), and reboot issues. How common are these issues among devices and is there any thing else I should look out for when checking the phone out if I am to swap? Thanks in advance
Edit: Also how would you compare the build quality between the 2 for anyone who's used both?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App

If someone is willing to straight swap you with no money on your end, you need to make sure theres not something wrong with their GN... they're taking a big hit swapping straight over.
If it is legit, I see no reason why you'd not take up that offer.

I agree with martonikaj, I would really be suspicious of someone making that deal. The GSM Galaxy Nexus still sales for around $600 on ebay whereas the T-Mobile Galaxy S2 is selling for $400. It's really a dumb trade on their part. The GNex is going to be update more times than the GS2. ICS will most likely be the final update the GS2 will see, whereas when the GNex is on Jellybean, GS2 owners will be waiting on someone to make a rom that hopefully works well enough. Also the T-Mobile GS2 will NOT (not sure about the other GS2's) be getting the wifi display update as the S3 Snapdragon is not compatible. Then there's the difference in resolution...I'll put it this way, IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE. These are just a few reasons to make the switch, there are others but I think you get the point.

yeah i would do this in an instant! i have a tmo galaxy s ii, and i bought the nexus. the S II is just sitting there. id take another nexus haha

How would you compare the 2 in terms of feel and build quality? I know with the S2 the chrome around it kinda gets a bit scuffed just from looking at it really, is that the same case with the Nexus?

Best thing is go to a Verizon store and feel one in hand. You will get a feel of how the GSM version is.
But as others stated if someone is doing a straight swap it sounds little fishy. If you can make sure it is in good condition then it's a no brainier for swapping.

No Verizon in Canada . Good idea though I can just pass by a Best Buy or Future Shop with a demo unit out to play with a bit and decide from there

make the trade

I went from a tmo sgsii to the nexus and I never looked back! Build quality feels nice on both phones, I liked the back soft touch on the sgsii. But the nexus feels great in the hand. Plus development on the Nexus is awesome. If there's nothing wrong with that Nexus than do it NOW!

I'd make the trade in a heartbeat. Coming from the T-Mobile version of the GS2, everything about the Galaxy Nexus is better. Remember the T-Mobile version is the gimped GS2.

Be careful you most likely wont have a warranty with the gnex

I went from a TMO SGSII to the VZW Galaxy Nexus. The Nexus is better in every single regard, in many cases, much better.
The only way in which the TMO SGSII is better than the GSM Galaxy Nexus is that it theoretically offers better data speed (42mbps HSPA+ vs. 21mbps HSPA+). Obviously LTE on VZW crushes both.
Edit: I should add that I couldn't care less about the cameras, which I never use. There may be a slight difference there. And the Verizon Galaxy Nexus has 32gb of space -- I think the GSM one has only 16gb?

if you're trading GS II for GN without any money it's a steal.
id say do it

hell yeah....the minute i was able to sell my s2, i bought a nexus! so much more development and future proof with updates! we all know how samsung is with updates....and idk about anyone else, but the camera on the Nexus blows away the camera on the S2, in my opinion! it was always so blurry and just not crisp

no offence, but this is sound like what an iSheep will say about the iPhones, but in this case is a gSheep for the Nexus

there are all kind of prof showing otherwise over the net, you can google it up

No offense, but what evidence do you offer that its a sidegrade or a downgrade? Its easy to call people sheep, but quite another to provide evidence for your views.

Lol your asking allgamer for evidence? Lol prepare to feel dumb
Anywho, I would definitely trade in a heart beat, if it's legit.

I'm in the middle of a trade now in the MP to get a sgs2 BACK. I'll get the nexus again a couple months down the line. Both phones are high performers but i feel more content with the sgs2. It's just personal preference .I switch phones constantly so i won't regret it.

Thinking selling my gs2 and moving to this forum

Hey guys! Currently I'm on tmobile with the gs2. I've always had a nexus device until verizon stole it Lol. I loved always having up to date software, which is not the case with the gs2. I'm also sick of the sg2 xda forum.. Too much ******ry going on there.
Do you guys think it's worth getting? After selling the gs2 ill only be paying around 100 more. Amazon is selling for 500.

Before the nexus i have a gs2 i like the nexus better people's here saying that they have reboots problems with the phone but i never have a single problem with it i love it also coming from a 4s two
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I think so dude. I moved here from the i9100. I haven't looked back. AOSP ICS is simply amazing! There are small hardware gripes I have with the nexus compared to the i9100, but I moved to the neuxs more for the ICS and updates. Plus I have the Verizon LTE version and the speeds are pretty sweet, minus the battery drain. Oh and that Amoled HD display is so damn sexy.

I'm going to be making the switch too. I wouldn't be losing any money making the switch, make a good enough profit buying and selling things here and there.

lol, it is impressive how every 2-3 days we have someone posting the exactly same thread here

Thanks for the response. I'm gonna miss the camera but I think I really want a gn.

wait until a better phone then the nexus. Going from galaxy s2 to the nexus is not really a big step up. I would wait for the galaxy s3 or if you need a phone really soon I would get the HTC one. The nexus isn't so much better then the galaxy s2 and some might even say the galaxy s2 is a better because of hardware.
gl

unless you actually switch your phones alot....i'd say stay with the i9100 until galaxy SIII
I'm only switching cuz I feel like it and I got the nexus really cheap (in my eyes) and I can sell my i9100 for almost just as much since I have a white one and a good amount of accessories.
Plus I sell laptops and other phones and stuff making good profit like that.

I'm not going to buy another non nexus phone. If I remember correctly the nexus was launched in nov-dec. The next nexus will be released around the same time I assume. This will be the time my upgrade will be available so hopefully the new nexus phone will come to tmo and ill use it to get that.
If not I'll use it on the gs3 sell it and buy the International nexus
I'm ready to pull the trigger. Does anyone know where to get one cheaper than amazon?

Negri electronics, NTT DOCOMO version unlocked. Exactly the same except it was originally Docomo locked and has docomo branding on the backplate. $460 and you get warranty unlike amazon. Negri and Expansys assist. It's on backorder right now so I would just go with Amazon. I ordered mine sunday from Negri and it will arrive Monday according to Fedex because they ship from Nevada. There are some concerns with IMEI though because of the way they unlocked it but not a big deal for me on AT&T. I'm just going to save the original IMEI files etc...as backup

Wow, I'm somehow not surprised man. Everyone was itching for ICS since every day that one guy kept posting articles about CM9 and ICS. It was bound to explode once ICS was released.
I didn't want to be a part of that immaturity and left reluctantly. I say reluctantly because the phone itself was beastly, I had the white one and it was probably one of the best designs minus this phone I've owned so far.

Stop making threads about it and just do it.

I'm thinking about shooting myself but I took an arrow to the knee. Somebody should start a website "thinking about selling x so I can get x". Then whoever takes me up in the best idea eva can start a thread called I'm thinking about selling my website so I can buy Facebook.

i came from an htc sensation which is think is very similar to the gs2:
- both considered flagship phones (dual core, 4.3-4.5")
- both have microSD slot over the gnex
- both have better camera than gnex
the biggest thing for me was that most of the sensation roms were Sense based (even on XDA) and i wanted pure AOSP. im not sure how it is on the GS2 but i am assuming the same (ie most of the roms for the GS2 are probably touchwiz based). if you want pure AOSP, nothing beat the nexus

Naw...galaxy phones have huge dev community. We have a lot based on Samsung firmware but also a ton based on aosp. Cm9 was one of the first to go nightlies and be every day usable for a while now. A lot of aokp and aosp based roms also or a decent amount at least.

Well if your gonna wait for the next big phone youll always be waiting....i posted a similar thread a cple of days ago and im happy with my nexus.....mainly for the fact that im always waiting for the next release by a carrier or company who made the phone...its frustrating to have things that sorta work. The screen is amazing. The phone is speedy and smooth. But the best thing are the forums....ive been on xda for about 3 years now and people havnt been nicer or more helpful than the Gnex forums...so far

[POLL] Getting SIII or no

So I don't know about all of you TW haters, I like it. I cant wait till the new TW on the SGS3 gets ported to MY ET4G
I will def get the SGS3 when it hits sprint. Until then, I'm sure someone will dump the rom before its released and port it over to us.

after evo 4g and gs2.. i am starting to miss a solidly built phone ... and the plastic gs3 is really not doing it for me.. and the tweaks in TW doesn't really do much to me.. as i might just flash a aokp rom anyways... for the speed.. it will probably end up getting a s4 making the cpu argument moot... plus i think s4 is plenty fast enough..
so right now evo 4g lte leads it for me. because build quality seems much better.. at least metal back (u probably gonna get some poly carb anyways.. because of the antenna penetration properties)... but i fear i MAY HAVE TO wait for iphone 5 announcement to see what they are cooking up with (gasp).. i dont' like their sw.. but their hw is still the best

I'll be getting the SGIII
been through two Samsungs and two HTCs. No problems with the Samsungs and even though the HTCs seems more solid neither lasted (both EVOs). I'm glad I had insurance on my daughters EVO

I might get it but the design is so ugly! I love my epic but the phone looks horrible, I'm so disappointed

I don't know for sure. I love the E4GT, best phone I have ever had or seen in person for that matter. With that said the SIII is a pretty ugly phone with new software, worse screen, and a better cpu. If the SIII wouldn't have a pentile display I would get it. I want one of the new Evo's. I've heard the SLCD screen is very nice if not the best screen out there now. I also like how it has removable battery and sd card expansion, but why did they have to make the Evo 4g LTE soooo god damn ugly. The One X is a beautiful piece of work. Ya ya it only has 16 gb and I have like 25 gb of music on my phone currently. If I switched to AT&T ( I dont even use 2gb of data a month b/c I am on wifi alot) it wouldn't be a thing to use google music with there being 4g lte in my area. Also sprint network isn't horrible in my area (avg like 1mbs dl) but 4g lte would be niceeee. I don't know what to do. Whats the point of upgrading to an LTE phone on sprint if its not going to be in my area until 2014ish. I'll have a new phone by then. Oh and also Ive looking into it At&T and VZ are cost the exact same as sprint.

I think I will pass on this phone. I am happy with my E4GT for the most part. Also the GSIII does not look like a upgrade from the E4GT to me.

I most likely will get the GS3. It really just depends on what the US version and what the Sprint version will look like and what kind of development will entail for it. The Pentile display kind of worries me. Just have to wait for the customer reviews for that one. But my next phone will either be the Galaxy S 3 or the Galaxy Nexus. Again it just depends on what the US/Sprint version looks like and what features it has. Touchwiz doesn't bother me. I can always theme the stock build to look more like ICS.

Is the case made from ceramic like rumor had it or is it plastic?

Unless its confirmed that the note is coming to sprint by the time the EvoOne is released, I'll probably just go with the EvoOne.

I don't really want to, but I will get it. I'm sitting on an upgrade already. Then again in August. So maybe the evo or note. Then again in 2013

This is exactly where I am at with my thinking. After all, the GNex is a Samsung and I can always get the S3 down the road. I know Sammys inside and out so if I can get good battery on my NS4G, I am sure I can find a setup that will work for me. I hope I hear more about the Sprint version of the S3 before June 1st though

i dont see why people are complaining about the design of the phone. i think it looks awesome. like many others said i will see what the us/sprint version looks like. then if it meets my expectations i will wait a few months after release so that by the time i get it there is a root and a few custom roms for it out

I'm getting it! I been faithful to Samsung for sometime now. I know how we are treated in the States, but I don't blame Samsung

[Q][Sprint] Should i get a galaxy nexus or wait

hello guys, this is my first post on the Gnexus side of xda. I'm debating about getting the nexus as my upgrade is here. however Ive heard its been plagued with battery issues, wifi issues that cause the system to lock up, and other radio issues with the 3g connections.
i would be coming from the original epic 4g. I guess the big question is, is the Gnexus worth the $200 upgrade or wait it out till some of the software issues and LTE is more available?

Where are you hearing these issues. I haven't seen any of those. I came from the epic 4g as well. I would say if you can't wait for the sgs3 the gnex is the only other option.
If you have the upgrade itch ... you won't be upset with your purchase. Its not weighed down by touchwiz. Its super slick even on stock. Its super easy to root. No more Odin scares. Tons of support. Its also a pretty decent pre forming phone. Its old hardware compared to the upcoming Evo and sgs3 but it sacrifices this for its openness. It makes more sense to have an open processor than have a closed one on such an open operating system.

At the end he pretty much hit the nail on the head. Except for the Evo Lte... no I'd say the sgs3 not the Evo.

Obviously you're going to hear about any phone having issues, especially one as popular and hyped up as the Galaxy Nexus. Personally, I've had next to no issues with mine. I ran stock for about two months then got into rooting.
Heres the thing: the Galaxy Nexus is about 6 months old (in the US) which in terms of phones is slightly aged. Don't get me wrong, the Nexus is an excellent, excellent phone and out of any phone currently out right now I still think the Nexus is the best when it comes to what I want in a phone. The Nexus was definitely worth the upgrade when I got it and I'm sure you would still be extremely happy with it if you chose to upgrade. What you have to remember though is that sometime this holiday season (about 6 months) there are probably going to be another batch of excellent phones being released.
You're in kind of a troubled spot, in my opinion, for looking at phones. You could get it now and it would be a great phone or you could wait for probably about 6 months and at least hope that something incredible will come out during the holiday season. Basically, it comes down to what you want. If you're really wanting the Nexus I don't doubt you'll love it and you should get it.
