well........im sory if i had offended you guys about my reviews on the sgsII, but wat im trying to say is jz dat i had actualy expected much more from sgs2....im nt trying to critisize sgs2 but i expected it to b at least on par wif the a5 chip...............sgs2 was previously dubbed as the 'most powerful phone in the world' when it was released and definitely i would had expected much more from sgs2, but it was released wif a tegra2 instead of other more powerful chips(mind you that tegra2 was released ages ago), and we had seen tegra2 getting pwned by other competing chips so badly.......

n mind u, the a5 was released months ago in the form of ipad2 and i5 wil use exactly the same thing as that, n dis gives samsung a few months of head start to catch up on a5........n u shuld nt compare sgs2 wif i4 since they r both diffrent generations, instead the previous sgs1 was much more powerful than i4.....

i am a huge fan of galaxy s n the reason why i skipped buying lg optimus 2x which is the first dual core phone is becos i wanted to wait for sgs2 n i expected much more frm sgs2 .......but instead the oni diffrence nw between sgs2 n optimus 2x is the SAMOLED screen n 1gb of ram........

n theres oni curently few types of chips..... ..powervr(ipad2 n, i5) > adreno(htc phones) > tegra2(optimus2x, sgs2)> mali(sgs2 exynos version)........cn u imagine the disapointment of seeing the much hyped and awaited "most powerful phone" sgs2 comes wif the lousiest chip........after waiting for so long.......

long gone the days of galaxy s phones being the "most powerful phone"............

i am nt trying to condemn sgs2 or create trouble here......nor am i a fan of iphones .......i am just very disapointed that sgs2 didnt live up to its expectations,  i dun mind spending a few hundred bucks more for a much powerful sgs2 using other chips instead of tegra2.......

if you still don't think that SGS2 is the "most powerful phone" (for now), check this out.

its basically just a comparison chart of iPad 2 vs SGS2 vs Sensation vs LG O2X in terms of GLBenchmark test.

Be ready to change your mind.

to uncle benny and all others, im wondering, how feasible is it to use more than 1 flagship smartphone? after seeing the N9,it makes me drool. its sexy. i know meego is dead/not supported well (for now atleast) etc but im really liking it. im definitely getting the S2, but my heart wants the N9 too. so to those who use multiple phones, how do you use them bith at the same time? is it worth it at all?
*
I think that's up to personal preference,
N9 is really interesting, you could potentially fall in love with it and forget about your other phones,
mainly sure to how the phone is used, all the gestures seems really fun to use. laugh.gif

N9 for camera, SGS2 for everything else.

how about SGS2 for gaming, N9 for everything else, you never know. lol tongue.gif

I think its the Galaxy brand people looking for, not Android.

even then, its still not as mainstream as iPhone. lol

Nokia is good, but wait for N9 or WP7. tongue.gif

what's the app name?

its called Juice Defender. Used to use it for like half a year, but then in the end found out that
it actually doesnt do much if you already apply those power saving techniques yourself,
except eating up the processor and in turn actually eats up more battery.

if you have rooted your phone, better just use setcpu to control the cpu speed instead,
that will actually save more battery compared to Juice Defender, at least from my experience.

how to do setcpu bro?
*
em, just install it and then set the value you want?

My phone is different but just as you reference,
I set it to run 1.1Ghz ~ 499Mhz with "on demand" behavior when screen on, and screen off 245~499Mhz with "interactive" behavior.
its simple but it works smile.gif

as for apple copying others just 2 points to remind u.

1) ceo of google was part of apple's board of directors and during those times eric schimdt stole many of apple's innovative concepts. hence android was born. and like many copycats, it was not as good as the original. while they can mimic most things, android can never copy the natural smoothness of iOS, which is essentially the soul of the iphone.

after eric was booted out from apple's board, android world was caught in surprise by the iPad and it took them one year to come out with a competitive product. and still up to today, no android tablet can compare with the mighty iPad.

2) samsung was very successful with 1st gen galaxy s bcos it is a copycat of iphone. the shape and also the home button.
again, even its 2nd gen device looks great but can never compare to the elegance and premium material style of iphone 4.
the latest device is still using flimsy plastic while the 1 year old design still remains as fresh as ever.
don't butt hurt yea.
cheers evrybody.

did Google or ANY other Android manufacturers suing Apple for copying UI features from Android?
did Google claim 2011 to be the "Year of Copycats" ?

do you see the IRONY in this?
After all the crying coming from Apple that others are copycats,
now they're the BIGGEST COPYCAT in the industry.

We know every tech company copy each other in one way or another, but Google don't go suing everyone just because they can't keep up with the competition.
Apple used to be the leader in smartphone innovation, but now they're just playing catch up in the industry.

*

fren, i wrote there - i set to max....so the loudspeaker is feeble, ie same as the original Galaxy

some how, i feel the primary use of a h/phone - ie answer (hear the phone ring) and make calls are no longer primary
*
then it could just be you, because from what I heard after testing the phone I don't find it a problem at all. sleep.gif
its loud enough to be heard.

and comparing it to GSL? lol. even if its the loudest phone its still irrelevant.

then it could be just you. 5/5 people tested the loudspeaker and said it was low..even the people at Maxis.

guess u have super bionic ear
*
I don't see anyone else complaining about the speaker over here, except you. lol.
have you ever thought that it could be the test unit that you're using?

as much as I hope for the super bionic ear to be true, but no, its just normal pair of ears that happens to be capable of hearing sound, thanks though. happy.gif
