Leaving for Galaxy Note!...

Hey guys, so I got an amazing deal that i just can't pass up: int'l note plus $25 for my white tmo gs2. I just have some questions though.
Do you guys think that it is worth it. not the value (i kno its a great deal) btu i'm talking performance.
Will i get 4g or just edge?
Thanks for your help

You'll only get edge until T-Mobile refarms the 1900MHz band. There's a dev called bedwa who is working on unlocking the 1700MHz band. Yes, it has it but Samsung has it locked up. The phone has the same modem as the Galaxy Nexus which is pentaband.

I personally think the phone is a bit too big but not a bad upgrade. I would do it for only $25 but no edge.

I think he's getting 25 so he's coming up even more! I would sell it and get the gs2 again lol
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

Yep I'm getting the $25. I'd like to hear more about the band unlcok thing. Anyone have more info on that? The main thing I am excited for though is that it has like 5 ics roms

Wish I could. I would do it in a heart beat if I had that offer. I wish it was on T-Mobile.

If this works out, I'll most likely ditch the Galaxy Nexus. There's plenty of people who'll call foul for wanting to move over to an "inferior" device but I'd love more screen real estate with increased battery life.

I have both the t989 sgs2 and the international note on T-Mobile. You will most definitely get edge speeds. I suggest u switch to at&t or a prepaid carrier who uses at&t network such as straight talk or red pocket mobile

So lucky! I would switch to the nexus if it were on T-Mobile.. were unlucky.

Get an unlocked gsm nexus.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

If I dont like the note, then I will probably trade it in Craigslist for gnex plus cash. But the note has the exynos chip set at 1.4 ghz while the nexus is ti omap at 1.2 I have used the nexus and found it to be quite laggy and the screen did nit look that much bigger than the gs2 I currently have. Plus the note already has ics roms

Just picked it up and I have to say that I miss the gs2. I got the phone rooted with a from with some bugs so I guess that I will have to put it on stock adlnd then give the phone another chance. Love the screen though
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk

Theres not much of a difference between our phone and the Note other than the screen. Hardware stuff of course but still running the same stuff.

And 100% likely to get ICS way before the T989.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Way before of course

The only thing stopping me from getting the note is no 4G on tmobile. Once you're used to 4G, there's no used to going back to 56k aka edge

If you were near me I'd consider trading.

I would too, where is he from?

Some guy just figured out how to get 4g working on an att note. There's a thread in the ATT Note forums

Nice, good news

I have 2 upgrades.

I currently have the galaxy s 3, but I just noticed I have one upgrade available now and one available in 54 days. Is there any new phones coming out soon that's suppose to be amazing?

Yeah..soon hoepfully...though its not really a HUGE upgrade from the S3. It's basically a larger S3 with a stylus. It will launch with Jelly Bean but we'll get the ugrade soon so I dont think ima jump ship..but you never know though..might change my mind when I actually hold it

In a business enviroment, the way they implemented the s-pen to work as a MAJOR feature of the note 2, it is going to change the course of smartphones pretty drastically. I think once it is out, and its functioning as they designed, people are going to start expecting a new level of interaction and function with their phones that will likely set the enviroment of which other manufactures will have to adapt to or be eaten. I could go on, but point here, This phone is going to be a big influence in what tomorrows devices will be capable of and i think it it is going to show undeniable ingenuity in the smartphone business that cannot be ignored.:beer:

It really is MUCH more than a stylus, its the leader of its 5 in. Ecosystem. Its designed to lead the software even better than the software was designed to acknowledge its directions.

My source says you should wait at least until the end of this month to make a decision. I trust it so I'm holding off on upgrading now.

True, the note 2 is coming out and might be worthy of one of your upgrades. Personally I would buy two iPhone 5s and flip em, make 5-600$ and keep my GS3.

I'm in the same boat. Just got the GS3 on release day, have an upgrade available and another coming in 173 days. Probably going to pick up the Note 2 as soon as it's available.

[Speculations] Jelly Bean 4.1.1 coming to GS 2!

Now, I don't want to make rumors or anything, but this isn't a rumor. Listen to my line of logic for a second, even if the SGH-t989 doesn't get Jelly Bean, the SkyRocket will at which point a complete, stable version of Jelly Bean can be ported. Know that we know it's incoming, we just need to play a waiting game..
http://www.redmondpie.com/android-j...ming-to-more-samsung-devices-later-this-year/
Devices confirmed to get Jelly Bean 4.1.1 :
Galaxy Tab 2 7.0
Galaxy Tab 2 10.1
Galaxy Note 10.1
Galaxy S II
Galaxy Note
Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus
Galaxy S Advance
Galaxy S II LTE
Galaxy Music
Galaxy Chat
Galaxy Ace 2
Galaxy Beam
Galaxy Ace Plus
Galaxy Mini II
Galaxy S DUOS

Read this earlier in flipboard. I heard that usually when they mention gs2, they mean the international one... hopefully we do get the update
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium

Definitely hopeful, but if skyrocket gets it, I will be just as happy since the ROMs will be stable.

They mentioned Galaxy S II LTE, which is identical to the T989. So even if it's not released to T-Mobile officially one of the great devs here will port it, no doubt.

I never had a doubt that the Hercules would get JB it was just a matter of when

The next upgrade from E4GT. Optimus G or Note 2?

I would like to know where everyone is going when their contract ends. Dev community is a deal breaker for me. Im pushing towards the note (phantomhacker, venom),but optimus g has serious potential.
Sent from my SPH-D710

I'm getting the Note but not for any reason other than I prefer Samsung to LG
plus LeBron James has it
<< mindless consumer >>

My contract doesn't end for a while but I wouldn't get either. I'm holding out till next year. I want to get a phone that will support 800mhz LTE and 1900mhz, possible the 2500,2600 band as well. With some newer battery technology.
I buy most my phones off contract used once they drop in value anyways. I'll probably end up getting what ever good deal is around by then.

Note 2 > LG OG. I just upgraded to the sgs3 til next month when I get my note 2. My dad bought the note and gave me his sgs3 which was only ~2 months old so I'm not complaining free phone and still have my upgrade on dec1 to use on the note 2. The note is definitely worth the upgrade its one badass device, has ridiculous battery life with the 3100mah and no lag even when multitasking in the dual pane mode.

If you patient enough you can wait for the s4 but if not the note 2 is a real good phone to upgrade from an e4gt.

私は神の罰です。

I still can't believe I'm saying this, but I reallllly like the optimus G. Ever since our store got our stock in I can't put the demo down. The screen and processor alone are what's winning me over.
LG kind of won me over in a small way recently, and that's because our LG viper got it's ICS upgrade shortly before the Optimus launch, and in the process, brought it's UI up to match the Optimus and Mach exactly. That shows me motivation and I like it.
But the end I'm being held back for two reasons: it's already behind on software; this typically isn't a problem for me but it is in this case because of the 2nd reason: the boot loader is locked. If there won't be any official unlock, or if devs unlock it but it's piece-mealed together, I'm not going to get it. It's one of the many reasons why I've stuck with Samsung, not having to go through all the BS with boot loaders and such.

All that is a concept of a sgs4. Nothing real, nothing but a fantasy. Please don't get panties in a bunch because then you will be disappointed when it is actually released.

Yea lol, fan concept =//= factual stuff.
That looks like a nice concept though.

I'm just looking forward to our jelly bean update. I'm think it's going to breathe new life into our device. Hopefully I'm not wrong lol. Really hope we get a leak soon.

Why would the S4 come with an S-pen? The Galaxy S line has never used a pen. That's why the Note has one... if they included a pen with the S4 there would be nothing that sets the Note apart from the crowd.

I know this and i know it wouldnt be a good thing for samsung to do this since it would lower the amount of buyers for the note. I was hoping it did come with one though.. Also theres the Spen for the note but they also made a Cpen that works on the sgs3 and hoping something like that works with it.

They have a generic stylus that works with any capacitive touchscreen, not the same functionality as the s pen by a long shot.

There will be an announcement for it is on March the 14th, not a release unless that means instant release for most international gsm carriers. As far as release date for usa sales, who knows when that will be be plus we all know sprint users will be getting it on a delayed release.
