    Happy Ship Day everyone!! :)

    It's a little sad that no one can get any information as to when the phone will actually be shipping or arriving at our door steps (or even the stores). You could call and talk to a million CSR's and get 1 million different replies. Just really goes to show how little AT&T has their stuff...

    Case or Commando

    lol, do you work for otterbox or something? From a pure design aspect, the otterbox on the GS3 is pretty bad looking and seems to add a decent amount of bulk to an already big phone. Something about the way it covers the front face a bit bothers me too. My current GS2 is caseless, but it has...

    Anyone else having preorder issues?

    Finally got the issue resolved. I hope...... I was originally on a familytalk 450 plan. This is not a "recognized" plan as it is given by the cancellation department. So, I went back and spoke with cancellations about it and this is how they fixed it. They changed my plan to familytalk 550, I...

    Anyone else having preorder issues?

    Just got off the phone (3rd time). They still had no idea. I'll just wait it out until tomorrow when I have time to deal with them. Is there any magic word I need to say to these people?

    Anyone else having preorder issues?

    Trying to place my order for a $199.99 GS3 using ATTs website using my upgrade. Price on the upgrade site states: 299.99 with a $100 INSTANT rebate on all samsung phones. However, I can't get the $100 to apply to my order. I've called ATT and no one can tell me why this is and they say it...

    Text issue: SMS messages showing as MMS

    Currently using Handcent (on my ATT GS2) as my messaging app (but have also verified this in the stock messaging app). Whenever I get longer type of texts from my friends (most using iphones) it shows as a MMS message. Is there a setting I may have missed to stop this? It's getting really...

    went from Galaxy S II to iPhone 4S

    Wait, what? I've been using iPhones since the 3gs and then moved onto the 4 at launch. Where is this better battery life you speak of? I had to charge my 4 at work daily just to use it through the day. Not the case with my GS2.... I don't know what magical battery you had in yours, but I can...

    [How-To] Root the AT&T Galaxy S II

    From what I can see, using the 7z file from the second link worked better for me. Someone correct me if I am wrong but the process for a new user should go like this: 1. Install kires drivers. 2. Download and install Odin 3. Boot phone into download mode 4. Once Odin recognizes the phone...

    [How-To] Root the AT&T Galaxy S II

    Just an update: I flashed the stock rooted tar listed on page 2, and my phone runs MUCH faster. On the first one the best quadrant score I could get was 2900, now I am back at 3300.

    [How-To] Root the AT&T Galaxy S II

    Hey guys, I'm completely new to android and am coming from an iphone (which was jailbroken). The one thing I noticed so far about android is there really doesn't seem to be an introduction to rooting/using it correctly. I understand for each phone it is different, which I get, but is there...
