Looking for Answers about samsung SGH-I777?

It works fine for me as long as you plug in wired headphones to act as the antenna.

My AT&T version does not have an FM Radio. Should it?

I also have the AT&T version and my understanding is that it is disabled unless the phone is rooted. Even then you still need software to operate the radio, there are a couple of basic apps out there for FM Radio. Hope that helps.

It is my understanding that the FM tuner was left out of the AT&T model. for a short time, the website had FM radio as part of the specifications, but it has since been removed.

Yes, but you have to download on the the several apps available.

Tune in is good but i never find it too work out and about only indoors or with WIFI

Although this is a Streaming app "Tune In Radio" is excellent! It offers local radio and world wide streaming, also has Police scanner.
I also saw the original specs and saw the FM radio listed.

There was a software update available this morning, Dec 19, 2011.

Samsung ICS will probably be released for GS2 in first quarter of 2012, but it's up to the carrier to release it.

it's coming...just google it

The update date keeps changing. Then when we find out the actual update has arrived, its on arrived in the uk and india and what not. I personally love this phone and its the best phone I have had so far. I just pray this update makes it to the us some time soon...I mean, its April already!

Based on web reports Samsung said updates for the GSII will be rolled out March 1st but actual dates depend on the carriers and reports of ICS update for other devices such as the Note will occur after March, so it can be inferred that the US AT&T GSII might get the update sometime in March depending on when AT&T gives the OTA.

Yes, once it is available in your area.

Yes

LTE is available and it appears you have to get a skyrocket ????? my S2 does not have the download speeds anywhere close to the Skyrocket

On AT&T the Galaxy S II (SGH-I777) will do 4G speeds using HSPA+
This phone does not have 4G LTE capability
For LTE move up to the Samsung SkyRocket

Kies should connect given that all cords are properly connected and the Galaxy S2 is unlocked at the home screen when connected. If it still doesn't there could be a software issue. Try updating your Pc version of Kies.

I had a lot of trouble with Kies and never really got it working correctly. Then I discovered the airdroid app. Bingo solved all my problems it even interfaces with my Micro SD Card. You do however have to have a wireless network setup in your home or office.

No, max of 32 gig micro sd card

Sorry 32GB is the biggest card you can use in this phone

Look in the upper left of your screen. You see will very small icons that remind you of icons like in the computer sys tray. The icons display a callout symbol along with a box (for text) and tape recorder (for voicemail). You can also pul/slidel down from the top to see your notifications. It would be easily if there some kind of symbol on the phone icon on the home screen.

After playing around with it for several minutes, and sending myself several messages and missed calls, it does not seem to have a notification light. I think I'm actually happy with that! :)

no such thing as fastest memory card all them work for storage not speed so anything just depends on your useage of downloads

Look for class 10 SDHC cards. THey offer the fastest transfer rates. The lower-rated classes such as class 2 are much less expensive, but may impede smooth, crisp video recording in 1080p do to the bottleneck.

It is on the phone but carriers like ATT haven't activated it yet

According to the documentation that came with the AT&T S2, the phone has NFC capability but it is disabled. Presumably AT&T will enable it with a future software update push.

No

Good question. I chose to use Google calendar sync to GCal, which then auto syncs with the phone. It works great between my PC Outlook calendar, GCal, and the Galaxy SII.

Depends on the construction of the case. The ones with elastic sides work just fine.

Samsung is deferring all questions on Carrier IQ to carrier representatives

No my is working just fine.

Actually the most current version of Android Gingerbread is 2.3.7. These updates are officially from Google but may not apply to all Google phones on all carriers. The carrier has the final say as to if they want to send out the update or not. The update just may not apply to your phone, but there are other methods with getting the update if you really want it. But beware if the update isn't approved for you phone you may get negative results.
