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.

Not sure how I feel about it looking like the s3 :/ was hoping for a more modern design, but I guess we'll have to wait to see how it looks

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.

If SGS4 came with a S-Pen then it become a Galaxy Note Mini not SGS4.

Re: Tracking the s4 new update 2/23
You don't know for sure that they're using a qualcomm chip instead of exynos, you might why to edit the op to say that it's just speculation. And that would be suicide,I would not buy the s4 if it didn't come with exynos

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.

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

Read this earlier in flipboard. I heard that usually when they mention gs2, they mean the international one... hopefully we do get the update

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

JellyBean official update

so the news are that the galaxy s2 is getting an official update
the gs2...not the epic 4g touch, not the sky rocket, only the gs2
so my guess is that is getting BOTH versions?
or only the skyrocket?
i am a little confused can someone tell me?
i really love JB, and with touchwiz it would be simply awesome!

Yeah. When Samsung says they are pushing an official update to the Galaxy S II. They always push the update to the international variant first.
This is good news for us as well, if the international S2 is getting an official update, that means Samsung is actively developing for the US variants as well. Since we have an Exynos processor just like the international... we should be next in line.

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.

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.

Has any one developed an add on for S Voice. In the past I had a Iphone 4s and jailbroke it. Then added some files for Siri. When you launched Siri I would say load brain and Siri would be much funnier, and have great comebacks. Is their an android version?

The only thing holding me back getting the S4 is USB mass storage. Not sure why Samsung does not allow that.

Rumors say that it's benchmarks are lower Sg s4
Sent from my LG-P765 using Tapatalk 2
Benchmarks are double that of the S3. Battery is slightly better. My only complaint about the s4 is that sSamsung bloated the software so much that only 8gb is available on a fresh device. After removing bloat I was able to get it to about 9.5gb but that's still not much.
I only got the s4 because my daughter needed a new phone and I wasn't going to pay for another s3 when I can pay a little more for the s4 and pass down the s3 to her. I will still be around the s3 forum as there is 2 of them in the family.
As for the note if I am not wanting something that huge. Might as well carry a laptop or a tablet and put on Skype or something similar
