hi all,

I just got my SGS2 about 2 weeks ago and the batt life seems to be the problem. I let the wifi and 3G on all the time and at best my batt will last upto 6 hours just using to make/receive calls and emails. But last night my friend suggested that I use 2G network instead of 3G. I tried and it paid off. Today the batt last for the whole day in office and a bit more after reaching home. No need to recharge during office or when driving. There is no prob when sending/receiving emails as well syncing with contact and calendar...I am at peace with my SGS2 now...I think I'll be a happy user for the next 1 year or so....

Cheers
Shahar

2g can surf internet/ data? or will it end up using gprs for data -- meaning slower download speed?

i noticed that too... but just yesterday or the day before, there was an update. no FC since that update. but i think that update added voice. quite sure the voice button wasn't there before coz now i keep accidentally pressing it.

found the 'free' BT headset HM1100 button is a bit too sensitive for my liking. was using it yesterday and then putting it aside in my car. when i got home, i realised it had called my 'last dialled' contact 3-4 times. i suspect swerving my car caused the BT headset to move a bit in the place i had stored it and those slight bumps caused the button the be pressed. previous BT headset i used needed two presses to initial 'call last dialled'.

anyway, texted the person to apologise for the calls and said it was a new phone.

the reply that came back -- "it s ok. iphone? samsung?"

looks like sammy is really making its mark! smile.gif

i dun really care about battery life... if it lasts while i'm not at home or office, i'm happy. at home or office, i charge my phone.

you should be quoting the person who's concerned about battery life, not quote me. i dun have an issue whether its 2g or 3g. smile.gif

and if you wanna try to put on a screen protector by yourself, here's a guide i have done up on how to apply the screen protector. it worked for me -- and trust me, i'm no expert when it comes to this. my car road tax is a good example. smile.gif

more than a week and still happy with my phone being on ori ROM and not rooted. however, slowly, reasons to root is coming up...

* need to use market enabler. partly due to my concern about getting updated version of an apps. currently using google+ apps via apk. i dun think apk has an update function, right? so if there's a new version, i will need to remove current and install new version? that seems to be the case, so might as well use market enabler and download officially from market.

* titanium backup. seems to be the best backup but it requires root. i wonder any other good backup that can do that without root? sorry, yet to explore all the apps available.

Go to the Google Calendar web interface on your computer (google.com/calendar).

1) Click the settings button in the upper right

2) Click the “Calendars” settings tab

3) In the Other Calendars section click “Browse Interesting Calendars”

4) Click the More tab here

5)  You should see an item labeled “Contacts’ birthdays and events”, click the Subscribe link. (While you’re in here, you might want to poke around.  There may be some other calendars you’re interested in adding in to your own as well, such as holidays and stuff!)

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... sad.gif

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

Yes the default camera app on the phone doesn't allow you to take picture when your battery is 15% or below if not mistaken.
You can change to this camera app, it allows you to take picture at any battery level, it has better sound recording quality as well.
