just sharing what i was recently told...

according to a phone seller, he's advising close friends not to get sgs2 because of the heat issue. after 10mins of use, phone becomes hot. so, the phone can't last long...

i tested sensation, also got some heat behind it..even last time nexus one, after playing game, it also quite hot behind.. think this is the problem for a slim phone and 'good' processor tongue.gif

Is this from SamFirmware? I ask this because after flashing ROM from SamFirmware, it will become non rooted again. Am I right?
*
YES - normally samfirmware will unroot. Does it matter ?? Because 99.9999 % most users will change the kernel back to Chainfire CF4 KG1 which will root back the phone

Typical pasar sellers mindset. same as telling people don't buy porche and ferrari as engine gets extremely hot within minutes and will burn out the car faster than proton saga

Heat is bad for the battery yes, he MIGHT have a point there, but at least we can change ours. Last time my i4 also got very hot at times, if battery die then how, especially after warranty? Kopak and change new one yourself?

Otherwise it's finelah. If you still worry get the polarbear heatsink case floating around on the net.

i just order sgp case from that web using moneybroker.. just key in your credit card detail and proceed for payment..not need register acc with them..same like paypal..after payment, they will email you the confirmation of the payment.. thumbup.gif then waiting for shipment ..  rclxms.gif
*
ya. i saw that.
But there are a lot of charges applied if use moneybroker.
It stated sort of like usd2 or something for whatever charges and USD whatever for like credit card charges or something like tat.
So I am thinking whether is it safe to do bank transfer directly to them?
bcz if use bank transfer to them, no charges right?

Just to clarify.
There are 2 variants of this phone over in Korea. One being SK/KT release which does not have the antenna and the other LG+ which has DVB support (aka TV) and the need to have the antenna port. The bulk of the S2 users here in Korea are the SK/KT users.

Not all Korean cases are built to have the antenna opening and likewise not all Korean cases are designed to cover all.
*
Then u should bring in those case without opening.

Old thoughts die hard. It is the same as when people told me not to put hot water/soup into a plastic container/bag. Unless the phone seller is a material engineer, otherwise, very doubtful. brows.gif

I'd like to know any bank who doesn't charge you for any money transfer services abroad with no charge is definitely not a bank. You can afford to buy a rm2000 phone and here you worry a few ringgit or 10's of ringgit of bank charges GEEZ!

erm..not quite sure.i just placed my order yesterday..and din notice got wat charges..and it not yet appear in my credit card transaction yet.. and the email i received stated " The amount of USD xxx has successfully been debited from your credit/debit card". ...that amount is my total purchase .. need wait 2-3 days then check my statement online again.. tongue.gif even got extra charges, also not much..maybe within rm10? anyway, i already save some money when order the genuine battery from that web compare to buy in the shop ... surprisingly cheap and the battery charger even cheaper than wat i ever seen for a genuine product rclxms.gif

Same analogy - must charge 8 hours on battery overnight- they forgotten it is now LithiumIon technology not NiCad batteries ; cannot charge phone continuously cos will spoil battery n phone - all old school thoughts seems never go away

i was charged RM15 for transer fee for purchasing the car dock and mhl using moneybookers for exportprive (but i cancelled the order since they dont have stock in hand). so i actually wasted rm15 for nothing... i thought the charges is due to charge card usage. will i be charged the same amount if i use normal credit card? seem like moneybookers are charging as cash advance not as credit transaction... sad.gif

He said that probably because he doesn't have the SGS2 to sell...might as well ask people to buy other phones so that he can make profit?
