    Using the Samsung Galaxy Skyrocket As a WiFI Hotspot

    Let me make sure that the stock ICS is the one released by AT&T? I do have the FoxFi addon installed already.

    My Skyrocket started to behave unstable and crashes lately

    I switched from an iPhone 4 to Skyrocket in March. Loved the phone for its flexibility in configuration and the availability of huge selection of apps. However, recently it started to crash. A lot of times when I try to unlock the phone. I use Go Launcher EX in combination of MagicLocker for...

    Using the Samsung Galaxy Skyrocket As a WiFI Hotspot

    I have read quite a few user feedback that after they have upgraded to ICS 4.04, FoxFi stopped working. I am holding my horse and staying with GB 2.3.6 for now. I have yet to get a definite confirmation whether it will work on ICS since July when ICS upgrade is available for the Skyrocket...

    Problem with "Navigate to" contact address

    Let me know if you can replicate this. However I am pretty sure this is an existing problem. I googled around and found these posts elsewhere: Having trouble with voice command to navigate to contact address voice navigate to address saved in contacts list in car mode? So far I haven't found a...

    Problem with "Navigate to" contact address

    With Google's voice action (or voice search), I can use the "navigate to" command to start the navigation app directly. However, this seems to work only with address, name of places. For example, I tried "navigate to 1234 main street" or "navigate to san jose airport" or "navigate to Starbucks...

    Switch from iPhone 4S to Galaxy S II Skyrocket?

    The LTE is a battery drainer if you live in an area that has it enabled. Some say you can disable it if you want to extend the battery life. Haven't figured out how. But then, why??

    Switch from iPhone 4S to Galaxy S II Skyrocket?

    You're welcome. AFAIK, Skyrockeet is only one of the two LTE phones on the market now. And we are fortunate enough that AT&T has enabled LTE in the bay area. I think just this speed advantage alone is a good enough reason to get it. Thanks for the tip. Will give it a try. This is a never...

    Can't stop/exit some apps from Go Launcher

    Just got a Galaxy Skyrocket (jumped ship from iPhone 4) and switched the launcher to Go Launcher EX. However, I noticed that I can't exit/quit some of the apps by choosing the "close" option for the running app. In Go Launcher, you can get a list of (background) running apps and if you tap the...

    Switch from iPhone 4S to Galaxy S II Skyrocket?

    @jontalk: I got your PM. But I can't reply directly as I would need to have 5 posts on this forum to do that. So I am going to reply here--hope you would make your way back here and find it. Yes, I did the switch, from an iPhone 4 to Galaxy Skyrocket. And I am glad I did. I don't know about...

    Switch from iPhone 4S to Galaxy S II Skyrocket?

    Going from iPhone 3G to Skyrocket is a no brainer. You can't go wrong with that. I just switched from iPhone 4 and I agree with all the comments in the thread here. It's a huge speed boost. I can totally discard my Garmin now since the Google Map on Android comes with turn-by-turn voice prompt...

    Please help, unlimited data

    Same here. I was paranoid that I might got screwed (losing my unlimited data plan) when switched from iPhone to Skyrocket so I chatted (so I can have a record of the conversation) with AT&T sales rep to make sure I can keep the existing plan. The rep assured me and told me to bring the phone to...

    Just missed a Skyrocket refurb &...

    I guess I was lucky to spot it early and quick enough to jump on it and grabbed one (actually it's only $9.99 + tax). Now I've got it, I want to make sure everything works fine since it's a refurb. What things should I pay particular attention to when I test/use it? I am afraid if I don't...
