Read this, some examples: 'SGSII feels plasticky and kinda cheap..and the interface is too iphone-ish and not so creative and attractive...'  & 'I feel the LED for SGS 2 is abit cartoonish compare sensation. '

Look under settings, account & sync, managed account, click on google, check the box that says sync contacts.

Yes I have sync contact with my Gmail account. But after I do factory reset, how to recover the contacts?

Another thing is, can I use sync function to import contacts from my old phone in to sgs2?
*
After factory reset, you would be ask to register a Google account again. Use the same account to add it back to the system. Once done, it will sync and download contacts you have selected to the phone again.

I dont think you can use Sync function on the sgs2 to do that. Maybe thru Kiev.

anyone facing this..?..

A commonly reported problem and it seems to be an issue in most of the current batch of SGS II if not all. Reports do seem to indicate it might be a software issue but those who have flashed non-stock roms can confirm.

This is my main concern...I'm a sensation user, and wud like to swap to sgs...but been reading about the heat issues all over the Internet..so the real question is, does it get hot to the extend where it gets uncomfortable when making PHONE CALSS?? Like ur ears burning? Pls advice n wud love to hear ur opinions
*
I guess you could judge from the previous post ..47C..... a little hot but whether it is tolerable varies from person to person I think. I would say, from personal experience, overheating in electronics is the main cause behind most of the reliability issues people encounter with their gadgets. I am not saying SGS2 will have this issue as it is still new on the market and no one knows until it has been on the market for a while. But by the time it may be an issue, you might be on SGS 3 or Iphone 5 or who knows what by then I am sure smile.gif

Not sure the reason behind you wanting to switch from Sensation to SGS 2 but it seemed convinced. So why not? smile.gif

In general, some of the commonly reported observations ( I dont want to say issue as it is subjective) are:

1) Yellow tint which seems to affect the majority of the SGS 2 globally, at least from the 1st batch or maybe some of the 2nd batch.

2) Overheating after some period of usage

3) Short battery life span

4) Pink dot in Camera

Do u actually owned two of this phone and gave such comments?
I think a lot of peoples that choosing between this two phone might interested to know more but based on your comments you are actually misleading them.

I owned this two phones, let me give my personal experience of the actual usage of these phones, this is not another xxx vs xxx .

hold the phone also signal can drop
You must hold your phone in very odd way to see the signal drop, in fact when i do the test i need to use my whole palm to cover the back of the phone to see the signal drop, I believe you won't hold your phone by using your whole palm to cover the phone right?

battery life so bad
Not at all...in fact Sensation is at least on par if not better....(Sensation on stock rom vs SGS2 on  Villian 1.4)

fiz thing ppl see is the screen and sgs2 pwns sensation in that
In my personal experience, Higher resolution LCD in Sensation is much practical than SGS2  S.Amoled+, My phone usage is mainly reading news, web browsing, facebook, email, WhatsApp. On SGS2 Color is so vivid and contrast is very good but this didn't really help much when reading text in normal environment, on the other hand Sensation text is much sharper and can display more info in any single screen.

it's internal memory is only effing 1GB!  doh.gif i install eternal legacy ad need 2gb la doh.gif , even my old n96 got 16gb internal
I don't use my phone to watch movie, listen MP3 or play games so for me even just 1GB i will never able to fill up half of it, but generally the more the better, so in this case SGS2 is better but if I'm not mistaken the internal storage on SGS2 is only 2GB usable for App.

the camera picture colour so dam flushed
No doubt SGS2 is better in this area not matter front or back camera.

bootloader is locked, need to s-off s-on, so dam troublesome
Sensation can't even s-off at the moment. need to wait official release. but I won't think it will be  troublesome ....i think it's more troublesome to flash different rom everyday.

so conclusion sensation sucks
Really? I don't think so.
My other experiences of these 2 super phone:
- Overall SGS2 run more smoother then sensation, App launch faster in SGS2.
- Those who use email a lot..Control is much better in Sensation and it's faster than SGS2 Email client too.
- Contact Management is better in Sensation.
- SGS2 Browser is much smoother then Sensation
- HTC widget is better than SGS2.
- HTC Keyboard is better then SGS2. HTC keyboard can switch to chinese input without even need to switch the input method, in SGS2 need to download google pinyin. But always keep in mind a lot of other options in the market.
- Sense3 got more useful feature than TouchWiz4... a lot of peoples comparing the launcher part of these two customization but it actually consist more than that for example lock screen or even the way to u select text also consider part of the customization. So don't just compare the launcher part only.
- Sound quality is much better in SGS2.
- GPS accuracy in better in Sensation, tested with papago and google map.
- SGS2 feel good in hand, it's very light and so thin, Sensation also feel good in hand, very solid feel and the shape of the phone is just fit nicely in my hand, personally i prefer sensation.
- Sensation re-charge faster than SGS2
I really like these 2 phones ...until this moment i still can't decide which to use as my primary phone.

Yeay. Got my SGS2! Damnit, HTC Evo 3D just launched. 3D is just gimmicky and nausea inducing anyway. Gimme 30fps 1080p 2D video anyday.

The next Samsung flagship maybe coming Q4 2011 to compete head-on with IPhone 5, higher spec than SG II.

Thanks for sharing. My 2 cents are, I dont think Samsung will do that so clsoe to this date now. Why? They created hype and marketing strategy that made the whole Malaysia (if not the world) went crazy for it. I was deciding to buy SG2 only in August but all this hype made me...going to be a proud owner today  rclxm9.gif

I think this is a wrong timing especially for this rumour. Kinda 'turn-off' for some  hmm.gif
*
They are doing it because of Iphone 5. Simple as that. it will be marketed as something more premium than the Galaxy brand.
