QUOTE(phantomash @ Jun 16 2011, 08:11 PM) if you still don't think that SGS2 is the "most powerful phone" (for now), check this out. good example.. 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. i see ipad2 win in triangle there..but nevertheless SGS2 still the best.. |

QUOTE(Eiraku @ Jun 16 2011, 09:30 PM) That's what I thought, until ONE review managed to list out a spec sheet without the compass in a shootout against the Sensation. I was like, huh? relax bro.. And about the whole Exynos vs A5 vs Tegra 2 thing, I was under the impression that the Nvidia ULX (Tegra 2) was SLOWER then the Mali in terms of pure specs? It's just the less mature (read: crappy) drivers for the Mali holding it back (plus the lack of Texture compression). Where's the sauce for the whole "powervr(ipad2 n, i5) > adreno(htc phones) > tegra2(optimus2x, sgs2)> mali(sgs2 exynos version)" thing? Yes specs wise PVR and Adreno is more powerful but Nvidia ULX (Tegra 2)? Just had to spill my 2 cents. hmm..after play shrek kart..my crt screen not nice.. |

QUOTE(CELCOM.AXIATA @ Jun 16 2011, 10:05 PM) but sgs 2 users have no sense. yup..the video for sensation is good..for camera almost same..for me, sensation win on UI and video (based on the review)..others, SGS2 is the clear winner..choose sensation as the best android challenger to iphone4's dominance. its got the balance btwn hardware and software. for pure geek ecstasy, sgs2 is better i suppose. |

QUOTE(Eiraku @ Jun 16 2011, 10:21 PM) ROFL. Crap that's so jahat comment lol. +1But at least we get to poke more hard stuff into our more promiscuous SGS2 (through the USB-OTG port) Truth be known, I've never liked sense to begin with. I JUST DON'T LIKE OVERWHELMING WEATHER WIDGETS lol. Like Uncle Benny, I like em simple, plus I'll be customizing the hell out of my UI to begin with (my old iPhone, for instance, had a full flat black UI and a notification drawer lol). The phone tracking through Sense.com is nice though. And really, phone tracking is more or less very useless in real life conditions, unless the phone can be tracked WHILE it's turned off or even when it's wiped clean/restored/reformatted. Also it needs to be more accurate. I've learned that the hard way from losing my iPhone 4. FindMyIphone didn't help much once the perp switched off my phone. And it's rough tracking location is too rough especially in an urban setting like KL. Won't stop me from installing an app to do that on the SGS2 though. I AM sad though that I'll be trading my old crystal clear retina IPS for a lesser reso SAMOLED+ screen, hopefully the deep colours (and enough NAND real estate and RAM to feed a small country) will make me feel better. nicely said... |

QUOTE(Eiraku @ Jun 16 2011, 10:33 PM) To those of you using Samsung Dive, how's the battery drain? The Netz says that it drains more somewhat on the Wave with Dive enabled, does it do the same on the SGS2? Also, does remote GPS activation work (turn off the GPS and try locating with Dive)? not sure bro..never tested it..my device doesnt show at the website..it says there..need to delete account on mobile..but to delete account i need to factory reset..which i lazy to do since many apps and data already.. Note I came from a single core fruitphone that can last an entire day with heavy use (while using a battery case), and thus would like my SGS2 to at least last half as long (also with a battery case, which is the MAIN REASON why I chose the SGS2 - it's one of the VERY few dual-core Droids with a battery case option). |

QUOTE(Eiraku @ Jun 16 2011, 11:41 PM) Not many. I'm scouring the internet for good screen protectors and full body films for the SGS2. Currently it boils down to: SGP bro..good product from korean.... SKINS Gadgetshieldz: Cheapest (RM21 per unit with free shipping), but known to have orange peel effect (which I don't really mind for the back, but will be killer for the screen). A bit thick (hopefully it won't kacau fit into the external battery pack, which I KNOW I'm getting, either from Samsung themselves or from PowerSkins when the US version comes out later). No warranty. Wet application IS: No. Just no. Expensive, orange peel-y and overrated. Dry application. BSE: Best in terms of value/quality. No skin for SGS2 out yet. Wet application. Warpsol: Expensive, but supposedly good. A bit on the thin side. Dry application. iDefense: Local/Asian product (no info on the web) but a tad on the cheaper side (RM69). Lifetime warranty. Dry application. I couldn't find a decent branded anti-glare screen protector for the SGS2 though. Any suggestions? As far as skins are concerned, I'll be getting 2 from Gadgetshieldz (just because it's so freaking cheap) and prolly one from iDefense if the Gadgetshieldz one doesn't hold up in terms of quality. |

QUOTE(samurai1337 @ Jun 19 2011, 01:08 PM) That's nonsense from Maxis. Why on earth do I need a new number? If I am interested to extend my current contract for another 2 years (which is a hefty amount), I would expect them to be a little bit more flexible. i dont know..when my friend want to subscribe android plan..the person said need new number.. cannot use existing number Anyway, "MaxisListens" in twitter is dealing with me now and they seem to be more helpful to check out. If they still say crappy thing like "u have to pay penalty", "get a new number", "u have to wait", then forget it, I'm going to Digi |

QUOTE(samurai1337 @ Jun 19 2011, 03:38 PM) Got an official answer from Maxis, they are willing to terminate my current contract with penalty waived, for me to register for another one (probably because my current contract is just too near to the end). So I hope I'll be one of the 300 on Wednesday good.. so far the development of custom rom is too fast..i cant catch up... |
