I've got a question for you, since you are a heavy user like me. Does your Z3C get pretty hot by pushing it that much? I've seen lots of reports of the back glass cracking by itself when the phone gets hot... has the front or back glass on your phone not cracked? Would you mind posting the year...

Re: Please help with I.O.S upgrade woah we're getting iOS now? when did this happen?? lol :p

I got the recovery mode messages in Kies too, and here's how I fixed it: 1> deny when it asks you to start recovery mode (hit cancel) 2> close Kies 3> use Windows' "safely remove hardware" for your phone (don't know if this is needed or not, I am just always extra careful 4> cancel usb mode on...

Not sure if someone's mentioned this already, but Kies doesn't like you to be using a third-party usb cable when doing the update. I got "cannot connect to phone" type errors. When I used the Samsung usb cable my phone came with, it worked fine. Is everyone enjoying ICS?? We finally have the...

I think brytonic meant to write "SGH-I727", which is the Skyrocket; the i717 is the Galaxy Note. @brytonic - If you're going to offer your steps, maybe ensure they are pristine..? It also says for example that you upgraded from UCLF6 to UCLF6. :)

it sounds like you're looking for a phone <4", which I don't know of any high-end phones meeting that criteria other than the iphone. I am coming from the Dell Streak, so the Skyrocket actually feels small to me. :p

meh, all my cellphones ever have always been naked. i've never needed cases, screen protectors, etc.

Oh okay yeah, and boy am I glad they removed Vlingo. Since I couldn't disable the Home button double-tap functionality (without root), it completely prevented me from using Perfect Task Switcher the way I like to. And yeah, the screen wake-up time annoyed me a lot too; on the SR it's much...

I checked to see if my charger hisses like other people were experiencing, and while there is a very faint hiss (you have to get down on your knees and listen closely to hear it), it's nothing that all the electronics in my apartment weren't already doing. So, I'm not worried about it. I might...

This is for those who just want a straight-up performance comparison, where LTE is not a factor. Okay so a few days ago I got the OGSGSII, but yesterday I exchanged it for the Skyrocket, and I'm so glad I did. I did several side-by-side comparisons with my OG and the Skyrocket in the store, and...

okay so I'm talking about general use speeds. I want to be able to multitask several programs, and jump between them without even a chance to blink. Several of the og gsii reviews convey more or less this kind of feel, but since I haven't seen any formal reviews of the skyrocket by a big website...

To all the people who are enjoying their Skyrockets, is the phone delivering that "holy sh*t this phone is fast" reaction that you get from the og gsii, or is it more that "it's fast enough for me"? I ask because I'm still using a 2010 single-core 1ghz phone, and I want to be completely...

unfortunately you can't upgrade as part of this deal - it's for new lines of service only.

As far as just pure speed on the phone itself (taking data completely out of the equation because I won't be getting LTE for quite some time): Do you think there will be a night and day difference between the og gsii and the skyrocket? Or at least notable enough where it bothers you? I want...

To those who've decided to purchase the original GSII even after hearing about the Skyrocket, does the announcement that the Skyrocket will get ICS play into your decision? Or do you plan on putting ICS on via custom roms? I'm just curious because I'm also deciding between these two phones. I...
