QUOTE(yehlai @ May 28 2011, 12:35 PM) Nice!!! Thanks. Factory reset will wipe firmware? Just now I read that, we should do hard reset after flash firmware, not factory reset which will wipe out the latest firmware and restore to the old one... Hard reset and factory reset is the same thing in this thread. It won't revert to old firmware coz it already been written during the flash. Factory reset will only touch your /data /cache /dbdata folders only. Any customization after flashing like themes, any apps installed or removed from /system/app will be permanent until you reflash the firmware.

QUOTE(afadzil21 @ May 30 2011, 03:26 PM) That's a good reason to get the SGS2 now while it's still the fastest droid around. We're probably gonna see a quad-core CPU and upgraded GPU and a qHD SAMOLED+ in the S3. But I doubt Sammy's gonna go beyond 4.3" on the display. So let's stop talking about the S3 and stick with the S2. I still haven't got mine yet  Hoping official set is Exynos. Sure AP set would be less than official price by then, but still so long to wait. Hopefully the SME spec will be the same as current AP spec. Although it (if the rumors are correct) will be cheaper, but I'm looking on the spare part availability. Imagine if the spec is otherwise, user whose own the UK spec will have a hard time to replace LCD or mobo (non warranty repair).

QUOTE(irenic @ May 30 2011, 03:41 PM) that's true! but if u send it here, for lcd repair for eg.. the superamoled+ will cost u more than rm600 for lcd alone.. if u send it to UK, most u have to pay for courier is rm150.. If this is the case, time is the decision factor.

QUOTE(rachy @ May 31 2011, 02:44 PM) same here  but i just clicked on ignore, because you still need the superuser app anyway! what did you guys do to your rooted SGSII besides freezing/deleting unimportant apps? For me... Apply theme, removed the nasty camera shutter sound (now can camwhore). Custom boot animation (requires CWM Kernel - just recently released). Sync the phone clock to NTP server. Market access.

QUOTE(rachy @ May 31 2011, 04:30 PM) thank you  can i ask what theme you applied? and dont we already have market access now to paid apps irregardless of whether or not we root? Added on May 31, 2011, 4:31 pmlast one for me as well  Pauldiddy theme. I only applied the system wise theme and not the additional apps.  The market access for Malaysia still limited, I've a few purchased apps that are not visible unless I use Market Access app. Added on May 31, 2011, 4:53 pmQUOTE(alpayedo @ May 31 2011, 04:49 PM) worth switching sgs2 to sensation? list of tegra games is very tempting while currently sgs2 only able to play samurai2 and pinball hd with chainfire3d >.< U still need Chainfire 3D to be able to play THD on Sensation.

QUOTE(DJFoo000 @ May 31 2011, 04:54 PM) LOL Sensation not using Tegra2 also. No point comparing like that. Save for the chainfire thing. +1 To run Chainfire3D - need root, for rooting - need friendly bootloader and kernel. Still a long way to go.

QUOTE(RViN @ Jun 7 2011, 04:46 PM) Yeaps finally got it replaced by the importer after a couple rounds of quick fire sessions. Apparently they only replace it once so if you have a defective unit the 2nd time around you are out of luck. What nonsense! But checked thoroughly the unit I took so very happy and cooled down a lot now  , I think this will be my last Samsung phone though, the QC on this phone sucks despite it being their top end phone!. Thanks for the help Mike, sure its not your fault but must be a little careful next time. Check the stock they give you as damn these importers can be sneaky! Also apparently the dead pixel issue is quite common, you can check from the diagnostic menu *#0*# It is all about luck. My desire screen failed on me thrice in one month (liight leakage, then again light leakage and finally dead pixel), sold it off for good. SIS is good in customer service but the part was reconditioned. How come a new LCD got dead pixel on my last visit?

I'm not studying bioinformatic in U or working in forensic, so taking macro less than 4 inch is not a necessity for me

QUOTE(benny888 @ Jun 7 2011, 10:48 PM) Mine is 16GB + 32 GB External !!! Added on June 7, 2011, 10:51 pmIf you have been following this thread, you will know that only 2 GB is to install apps. The balance about 12 GB only will be use to store your apps supporting data ( example games data, newsfeed, RSS, tweeter, backups, reference apps data etc ). The 2 GB you can install 400 to 500 apps as most apps small size few MB only If 2 GB is not enough I suggest you don't buy the phone as only some freaks will ever install even 300 apps not to say 400-500 !!! I've a friend who likes to install a lot of apps. The app drawer in his phone, I would say.... not an app drawer anymore; more to folder drawer. It like finding a gold in treasure chests in a room. Need to open a lot of folder. LOL
