Battery life on this compared to the Infuse....
well I did the comparison between this and the Infuse.... Although more powerful, the Galaxy S II has only a 3 hour battery life on talk compared to the 8 of the infuse? I mean I know that is talk time but imagine running other apps and what not on this... it would kill the battery even quicker....Any thoughts on this or concerns that the battery life ( as quoted on here ) make this the biggest reason to stay away from this phone?
Actually, Very important, since the LG Thrill is only 6.5 hrs. talk or use time. 3.5 would really be B a d d d ... Surely this is incorrect. 😲
...
Am interested n this phone, so the 3hr talk time really bothered me. On Samsung's webpage & a couple other reviews, show up to 8hrs. talk time, which is more realistic considering batt capacity & Samsung Galaxy phones, that usually have a very desent ...

#1. Notification of missed calls or messages. Just go into setting & set sound notifications to your desire & loudness.
#2. Messages n call log.
U might have downloaded AT&T mesages from market, which combines all n one place. I tried & did not like. Go back to market & delete AT&T messages. Use standard messaging or maybe download Go SMS Pro, free.
#3 Having to delete email one @ a time.
Actually its not one @ a time. U do have to select the emails u want to delete. Then tap delete & shazam, the ones u cked are all gone. Personally I like this much better, seems like their's always 1 or 2 u want to keep for a while. Anyway, study, think & try out or ask before condeeming a feature of a product before u get all the facts & viewpoints, so...

Why the two different screen sizes?
Does anybody know why the AT&T version of this phone comes with a 4.27" screen vs. the T-Mobile and Sprint versions which measure 4.52"?
Diff strokes for diff folks. To a lot of people 4.3" screen is very large, 4.5" is extremely to large. So loss of sales and/or unhappy customers. 4.3" is excellent size & still usable with one hand. A lot of people have medium or small hands, so 4.3" ...

phone wont light up for text
when i receive a text when phone is asleep the phone won't light up - i hear the notification but the phone won't light up.
is this normal?
is this normal?
Not really, u can change n settings. on/off, how long it stays lit etc. Took me a few days to figure out how to change icons on bottom bar. 😎
Umm?
So whats the advantages of the AT&T version? It really frusterates me that they are using a inferior processor and a smaller screen. Guess I'll be patient and wait to see what the Holiday will consist of.
WTF is att thinking getting it with small 4.27 screen!
I waiting for Canada rogers galaxy s2 lte with huge 4.5 and dual core 1.5G

The processor isn't inferior. Even though T-mobile will get a 1.5ghz dual core, the 1.2ghz dual core on at&t's version will out perform it. The only advantage for Tmo's version is that it is capable of reaching higher network speeds(42mb/s). As far ...

There is an LTE GS II coming out, and use gsm, not sure if it will be fully capable for AT&T. The HTC Holiday i.e Raider is coming out in the next month or so. It also looks very good.

Galaxy SII now on ATT web page, it shows HSPA+/LTE, wow ! 😎 Also the battery with the unit has NFC marked on it (saw @ The Shack Friday),so I presume it has NFC that works thru the batt & possibly LTE capable according to ATT website. There is 1 mis...
