    why galaxy s II I cant see the 4g icon??

    Ok Thanks. I briefly read up on 4G. Info is not consistent across the board. I read LTE isn't even true 4G. I guess I really don't care. My SGSII was averaging 5-9mbs download today which if this is even close to being accurate is very very fastn imo. A couple of years ago my cable...

    So what is this new update?

    I just updated my wifes's phone. No problems installing that I can tell. I googled this update 55.13.1.en.US or whatever the numbers were. I couldn't find anything on it. So what are the details of this update?

    why galaxy s II I cant see the 4g icon??

    According to AT&T website, the Galaxy SII is 4G HSPA+ I don't know what 4G HSPA+ means but isn't that 4G??? Mine doesn't say 4G either. My brother had the Skyrocket and his doesn't say 4G either.

    Normal for battery to drop 10% overnight

    I didn't do the update so I have 2.3.4. I do kill the apps running in background but I always have wifi on. Maybe tonight I will turn wifi off and test it out.

    Samsung Galaxy S 2 or Motorola Atrix 2

    Doesn't it have 8gb of internal memory? 1gb of ram it has. I am a SGSII owner and think the Atrix 2 is a great phone. Just not as good as the SGSII. If the SGSII is 9/10 then the Atrix 2 is a 8/10.

    Otterbox Commuter or SGP case?

    Received my Commuter yesterday! Pros: Looks nice (subjective) Gives SII a sturdy and secure feel Protection about 7/10 (0 being no case. 10 being maybe Otterbox Defender) Slim Cons: Corners are a lint magnet. Top Silicone edge by front camera doesn't sit tight and flush to screen Overal I...

    Samsung Galaxy S 2 or Motorola Atrix 2

    Last week I bought the SGSII and my wife the Atrix 2. The SGSII was $100 and the Atrix 2 was free. Both are great phones. The SGSII seems easier and works flawlessly. The Atrix2 had a few minor issues such as call not ending or being able to end it, 1 day delay on text. Build quality: Atrix...

    2-4 down and 1-2 up. Wifes Atrix 2 averages 3-5 down and 1.5-2 up. Iphone 3g averages 1-2 down 1 up. (I don't know why. Even on wifi it is slower than the two newer droids)

    Normal for battery to drop 10% overnight

    From At&T and phonescoop, the S2 is supposed to have about 384-400 hours max standby. If I drop 10% every 8 hours, wouldn't that be 80 hours standby?

    Normal for battery to drop 10% overnight

    I fully charged my battery on my S2, unplugged it, and then slept for 8 hours. Battery dropped down to 90%. I looked at what was eating up my battery. The first two were Android system and Android operating system (can't remember the order). Is this drop normal for standyby? I guess it is...

    Otterbox Commuter or SGP case?

    I have owned the SG SII for a few days. Love it so far. I just want to get some protection. I saw on Amazon the Otterbox Commuter. It was a good price so I bought it. The case hasn't arrived yet but I am now having second thoughts. I had an otterbox defender for my iphone 3g. While it...

    Thinkin About Gettin S2. Worth It?

    Just switched from an Iphone 3g. I can't compare it to the newer iphones BUT it is better than my 3g in every way. It is faster doing everything. Surfing the web is faster in 4g and on wifi. Camera is 20x better. Has HD video.

    Just bought the Motorola Atrix 2 for my wife. I have been playing around with it and really like it compared to the Iphone 3g she had. One problem is that on the Accuweather widget or whatever its called, it has the wrong city. I added my city but I want my city to be the default weather that...

    Galaxy S II or HTV Vivid (cheaper)

    GS II is what I am leaning to get. The Vivid never was an option. If I was going to go for LTE I would go SG II Skyrocket. It was just the good deal that was tempting.
