A bit bulky at the back. But oklahh as long can get more juice..

the solution would be, battery technology. our battery technology for pass 10 years has not evolved much vs the other parts of the devices. more powerful CPU, bigger screen

The Andida battery which I am using right now is 2000mAh. About 55%-59% power right out of the box and lasted about 12 hours before I need to change batteries again. (3G, WiFi is on. K-9, SPB Shell, WidgetLocker, PowerAMP and Equalizer at the top of the active list. Stock ROM)

Actually battery technologies have progress over the last few years but making it commercially feasible for us consumers have not. E.g : Look at Hybrid batteries technology.

To be fair existing batteries technologies have evolved and matured but power demands are higher than before. If we were to use current batteries technologies on phone 10 years back, it will be a massive breakthrough. However, current phone technologies demands more power than ever before.

+1, im using widgetsoid2.x now..and i only need 2 clicks to enable packet data and 2g/3g..

did you ever tried to surf or check email using 2G network?..I dont think we can..you still need to turn on data network to check email or surf..regardless GPRS/3G...as GPRS is consider data..without enable data network, you can only used for call/sms..just tried just now.

Hi Uncle Benny

Please add me to the list, I have just upgraded from SGS1 to SGS2 a couple days back with 32gb class 4 external micro SD, 4800 mHA Yoobao power bank and SP.

It's stock with GB 2.3.3 and I installed GO Launcher and GO SMS Pro which just suits my needs for now.

I have passed my SGS1 to my wifey, IMO it was much much better in terms of stability, remedying the lag issues, and especially integration to Exchange after I upgraded it to GB 2.3.3

I have been following your blog, SGT, SGS and all SGS II forum since v1 here, i personally find it is very informative and useful. Thank you to you and most of the folks here for sharing and especially constructive feedback.

It's a great phone and I really like it. I have expected the battery and heat "issue" highlighted by some folks here, but its a non "issue" for me and I can live with it as all other benefits outweighs this, just my 2 sens:-)

Thank you again and please keep up the great work!

Hi Megadisc

Mine is only the 4800mh and it serves my needs for now.

Being kiasi, I also have a car charger by Mobilegear as a backup, it has 2 USB power out ports ie. 2.1A and 1A. It works well for my other gadgets too like my iPad etc.

I read about Yoobao here (and thru Google-ling) and I believe Uncle Benny and some other folks here has +ve experience with it, so it cant be wrong:-)

Fyi I have not really used it yet, but I was told that it can recharge about 3x from 40% if I am not mistaken, which meets my needs ... I will know after my 'experiment' in the next few weeks:-)

Personally, from a convenient and portability point of view, I prefer the Yoobao (or equivalent) compared to the spare battery as I do not need to power down, remove the back cover and swap battery, and power up again.

With Yoobao (or similar), when needed, I can easily just plug it to my SGS2... So minimal hassle and less 'lea chaair' IMO compared to a spare battery, depending on how you look at it:-)

Further the Yoobao is not only limited to my SGS2, I can use it for other supported gadgets which is another plus point why I considered it.

Just my 2 sense:-)

I plan to get another one later if this works well. Hope this helps.

Regards

got a new one, but nothing like a krusell, truly hand made no two cases the same... miss using it, my omnia krusell case lasted me till now.....

Get a chill pill dude. Not everyone wants to pay for it. That's why he's asking if any free apps. Don't jump to your own conclusion that ppl wants free then it means they will download pirated. Who do u think u r judging ppl? God?

Yesterday i went to Sg Wang to look for S2...asked nearly all the shop there for the best price. Last shop i went there offer me RM2030 for SME, then i said ok i need to survey other shop too. Then i walk by...the salesman called me again, and his boss showed me the price on his calculator... RM1800 and said "If this price, u want?" i said, "sorry sir i dont want AP set or demo set." he said, "no, this is ori set, if u want i'll get for u" Then he went away to get me the set, about 20 minutes he still doesnt show up. Me and my friend was so wondering why is the price so cheap... I ask the salesman if the boss is trying to do some con here...he said he dont know but he showed me the list of shops they have, its about 30 shops around kl and pj.
Then after about 30 minutes of waiting, his boss call him and said, the set finish already, he actually have to queue up at the other shop (its like a warehouse, not open to public) to get that set and up to his turn, the set finish already. and i was like...o nooo... and went home with empty handed, because no mood to survey anymore LOL.
Does anybody know about this? About the lil warehouse secret they were talking about? Or the price of S2 will go down to this price if few weeks time?

trying to take pic in low light condition..not really pleased with the result..looks grainy and low quality compare with my old SGS...

dear all, just got my 1st android phone yesterday and trying to play around to familiarize the system. overall its a good phone. btw, do you guys come across any app similar to iphone book to read pdf magazine smoothly? especially when it comes to zooming in and out ..thanks.

I've been looking for this, and I can tell you that I haven't found a way to disable the notification even on the paid version. I do get to change the notification icon style tho. Weee colors!

not going for v9? sorry if i missed out the last few posts...

anyway, i just noticed today that on ori sammy rom, i can't start the camera apps when the battery level is low. i noticed this when i tried to start the camera with only 10% battery left. i think that is bad... sammy should allow users to decide what to do... i mean... 10% is still a lot of battery! but it sucked that i could not take a nice photo today...

anyone can help confirm this and let me know what rom they are on?
