Decision Decision - Repair older phone or go for samsung galaxy s2

Our story
We are a family of 2 on AT&T family plan.
Husband - iPhone 4S (White) - Due for an upgrade
Wife - iPhone 4 (Black) - Broken Glass;Out of warranty;Not due for upgrade until 2013
Option 1 - Take the upgrade and get either iphone 4S ($199) or Samsung Galaxy s2 Skyrocket ($149). Wiser to chose the cheaper option as we wait for new iPhone 5 or Galaxy s3
Option 2 - Fix the wife's phone outside for $60 and be happy. Shouldnt pay $149 to get it fixed at apple and for the same amount we can get better samsung phone.
Problem is we dont want to lose the upgrade chance by getting an older phone. Rather buy some time and get the newer phone. If apple fixes my wife's phone for less money or AT&T offers a temporary smartphone for less money that would be idle. What do you think?

I went with the Galaxy S2 skyrocket and its been terrible. The battery life of the phone is bad especially after icream sandwich upgrade. The e-mail client is horrible. The keyboard and SMS client are also not that sleek. Lets not talk about the notification interface. I should have listened to you guys. I cannot wait for the new iPhone to come out. I have now realized that simplicity rocks. Even my 4 year old macbook is pretty cool. Apple, I miss you!

  • I just traded in my iPhone 4S for Samsung Galaxy 4S, still have iPad. Some of my iPhone contacts are unable to send me a txt that I can receive. But NOT all of my iPhone contacts. I have had them change their settings for my ph number to NOT say iPhone.

    I just traded in my iPhone 4S for Samsung Galaxy 4S, still have iPad. Some of my iPhone contacts are unable to send me a txt that I can receive. But NOT all of my iPhone contacts. I have had them change their settings for my ph number to NOT say iPhone. Txt msg is disabled on iPad. I have no idea what to do. I called the support line that I Pay $9.99 a month for. They told me to delete my iTunes account. Will I lose all my pics on my ipad? I have no music download. I'm getting ****** at this whole thing. And it allllllll started with apples update to the ios7.... I HATED IT. Help.

    What your iPhone using friends label your phone number in their contacts is irrelevant. I don't know who you pay $9.99 a month to but it's not Apple. You can't disable text messaging on your iPad as it is not capable of SMS.
    Do you still have the iPhone? If so, log out of iMessage on the iPhone.

    I get a error message "To charge faster, use the cable and device that were provided with this phone" when charging my Samsung Galaxy note 3. I took it to a store last week and they said it has something to do with the last software update.  They tried charging it at the store and got the same message. I was given another phone, I still get the same error with the new phone.

    Wowuor, 
    Thank you so much for reaching to us today. I want to make sure that we get the device charging the correct way. There is no physical or liquid damage to the phone or to the power cord correct? Did this error just start to appear as of last week? Please keep us posted.

  • Device Configuration for Samsung Galaxy Tab?

    Longtime Flex/AIR developer here, but first time developing for Android.
    Want to build for Samsung Galaxy Tab. In Flash Builder Burrito, when creating a Run Configuration, there's a list of devices to target. But the Galaxy Tab isn't one of them. Which one should I use? Or do I just create one and enter the right dimensions etc? Is there any information associated with those device configurations besides the pixel dimensions and pixels per inch?

    Try the nearest match in terms of resolution. Also if you design your controls with relative size (%age based or relative to a fixed initial size), it shouldn't be a problem on device. There is also a blog post which may help you in writing your app: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/flex/articles/writing_multiscreen_air_apps.html

  • How to get an unlock code for Samsung Galaxy S3?

    How to get an unlock code for Samsung Galaxy S3?

    Unlocking your device for use on a USA carrier, is not possible.
    Maybe in the future but not now.
    You will have to purchase a new device on the other carrier.
    Unlocked for use in other countries is possible if it isn't already u locked from the factory.
    Good Luck

  • Blue tooth driver for windows 7 for samsung galaxy s5

    I was told by Samsung that they don't provide the blue tooth driver for Windows 7 for their Galaxy S5 cellphone. They said that the maker of the PC is responsible for that. I don't see any drivers for blue tooth devices of any kind being provided by HP, so I'm thinking that what the Samsung rep can't be correct. Nonetheless, I'm posting this post in hopes someone may know if there 1. is a driver and 2. where to get it. I have a HP Media Center m7050y (PX153AV) CTO Desktop PC that is running Windows 7 Ultimate. I of course have a blue tooth doggle in one of my USB ports and it is working correctly. I know this because I have other blue tooth devices running. Any help will be appreciated.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi,
    You have a functioning  blue tooth dongle.
    Other blue tooth devices are working correctly.
    Samsung would have to provide blue tooth driver support. Or contact the blue tooth dongle manufacturer for assistance.
    Your HP PC shipped with Win XP. Blue tooth driver support/ hardware was not available when your PC was manufactured.

  • N8 as hotspot for samsung galaxy tab 10.1

    I'm looking for an app that makes my nokia n8 a hotspot for my Samsung galaxy 10.1 tab to have wifi. I bought joikuspot premium but find out it does not work with androids ... Is there another app in the ovi store that can be used to connect to androids?

    Apparently this time the problem is not with JoikuSpot but with Android. You will find that hot-spot created by JoikuSpot is detected by all other devices except for Androids, it turns out that Androids don't connect to Ad-hoc networks.
    Theres a way around by modifying a file on your Android device where by it will be able to detect Ad-hoc networks with a limitation of only Un-secured networks.
    So again since you have JoikuSpot premium you will have to broadcast in only un-secured format.
    Search on net for procedure of modifying the file.
    Using Nokia Lumia 1320.
    Also have Nokia E72 & Nokia N8.

  • Wifi for samsung galaxy tab

    Hi I recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy tab through Verizon and downloaded Skype on it.  I only have a 2g monthly data plan and was wondering how if any I can purchase wifi or something to use with it.  Thanks Missy

    I believe the wifi only version will be available through Best Buy.  I think it was delayed through.  Maybe by late November or early December?
    BTW I would suggest you remove your phone number from your device description.  Everyone can see it.

  • What is the latest version of Jelly Belly for Samsung Galaxy S3?  I got missed on the last upgrade.

    My phone failed to receive the upgrade that was pushed in July.  Only received because I was having an issue with my calendar and stopped at Samsung kiosk at Best Buy in August to have it looked at.  The Samsung tech checked to make sure I had the latest software, only to find out I did not.  I was missing the latest upgrade.  When I called Verizon to find out why I did not received it as I should have, I was told that the upgrades get pushed out in batches and sometimes batches get missed.  How I can I make sure I'm not missing another upgrade?

        Catwoman279, thanks for the details. I've got the answers you need. For the most part everyone gets the updates as scheduled. However, in case you don't receive it you can reach out to us and we can push it to you. Have you since received the update on your phone?

  • Cash on tap for samsung galaxy s6

    Hi
    I would like to use your cash on tap services through the tap wallet app. I keep getting a Web portal coming up as sorry something went wrong please call 150 for help. And when I do I get told the cash on tap services is not available through the cash on tap team, via a customer service representative when they call the team, when the website says it is available on my phone since July 2013. The cash on tap team doesn't want to help me and just say it's not available to get me off the phone.
    This is poor customer service.
    My phone has been out since April this year and surely the app should be available by now.
    Before upgrading I had an s4 which I had cash on tap on, then something went wrong, I then uninstalled and tried to reinstalled it then samething happened as above.
    Please help.

    I bought the device from the EE store in lakeside
