So this phone has Gorilla Glass.. Is it still necessary to get a screen protector?

Gorilla Glass only makes it more scratch resistant not impervious. It is still very possible to scratch the screen. It's up to you. I use screen protectors regardless.

Just got this phone as a christmas gift, phone is rooted now.. but I have no idea at all how to flash kernels/roms etc. After downloading rooting, a new program "Superuser" appeared, but for some reason doesn't display anything?

Where do I start??? this is kind of confusing stuff coming from a 3GS as well

The AT&T Skyrocket is the same as our SGS2, here's the forum for it on XDA: AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727 - xda-developers .

It will not. IIRC. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but it only carries the Rogers LTE bands. You're better off getting the Telus G2X or equivalent.

Just to let people know, I tried fitting a T989 case on our LTE phone. While the dimensions were correct and it did physically fit, the earphone jack was in a different place, and was completely covered by the case.

Does anyone know anywhere local that has i727 (our LTE phones) cases yet?

Bell and Rogers should be in theory compatible. Things are gonna get messy once 700mhz spectrum goes to auction. Rogers currently uses aws frequencies for their lte network. Do you know what Bell uses for their lte?

Hey guys, I am looking to buy a spare battery for my s2 lte. Does anyone know if the battery in my phone is the same as other iterations of the s2 (eg. T989, original s2,, etc) ? And does anyone know where I might be able to find one locally? thanks!

Reading is quite the useful tool vitaminG. Unless you were interested in the info about the battery variations or local batteries.

shit i have like 4 extra batteries from eBay and they are all overrated in mAh. not one lasts as long as my OEM Samsung battery. however they cost $5, not $50 so you get what you pay for. i use them as emergency power when i don't have time to get a decent recharge.

no one will sell these knockoff batts locally because they are crap, and customers will come back constantly demanding their $ back. on eBay, you bought it, final sale, cry all you want, no refunds.

if you want a GOOD battery, get a Mugen or OEM. You can even shoehorn a Galaxy Nexus battery in there if you try hard enough.

Just wondering, but is the LTE worth the extra money from the S2?

Was going to pick up a S2 tomorrow, but if I'm switching phones, is it worth picking up the LTE instead?
