Ex-phone looking in jealousy

Yes it is . Im a careless person do I need something good to protect it

Been using the Galaxy S II for a week and here are some of my negative findings which are nagging me:

- After using for some time after the last reboot (a day or so), pressing the home button will take a while before actually bringing you to front screen
- It gets hot during charging and playing intensive games. Dont mind when its in my hands, but mind when i slip it into my pocket. But im using the Case Mate tough case, so im sure that doesnt help cooling
- Colour banding issue is very apparent to me. Quite irritating
- Colour is very vibrant. Too much contrast for my liking, but this is personal preference
- Battery life is quite bad, but this is because i was spoiled by old tech phones which doesnt use much power. Frankly speaking, most high end phones have short battery life. Its the cost of great power and large screen
- Screen has some uneven lighting, especially two darkish vertical lines at the background. Only noticable when viewing full white screen

Now for the pros:

- Very fast! This thing flies. Rarely got lag.
- Great viewing angles
- Very thin and light. Too thin isnt good for me, but with the case mate tough, just perfect. And the light weight means it doesnt drag my pockets down
- So far quite satisfied with speaker phone loudness, earphone sound quality

Thats it for now . No one phone is the best, but this is one of the top ones money can buy right now.

Unfortunately the lag happens not only when i wake the device up. Even when im in the applications menu, and i want to get out to the home menu, it'll lag for 2-3 seconds after i press the home button, before it gets into the home menu

That isnt a valid explanation due to the fact that the duration of the lag increases with time.
From a fresh reboot, the lag is minimal. I assume that if the voice function requires a lag time, it should be as long as a freshly rebooted's lag.
But when i use the phone, after 1 day of usage, the lag increases from say, 0.5s to about 2-3s.

So definately it has nothing to do with the voice function. It must be something else.

Yup i highly suspect this is the case too. Trying to find which widget is doing this. But anyhow, im still fine at the moment with the reboots cause its not long. Anyway it wont be long before i start rooting and changing custom roms

Mind me asking, how's the recharging capacity for the XP4001?

Can charge from how many % to how many %, and in how long time?

Anyon here currently using a 4000mah external battery like Yoobao, etc? Want to know its performance

Sorry bro i never made myself clear. I actually wanted to compare the performance of a li-ion 4000 mah external battery to my 2x 2000mah nimh battery in terms of:

1) Battery capacity (how many times can it charge from xx% to xx%)
2) Charging time (how long to charge from xx% to xx%)

If the even cheaper li-ion ones out there charges better than my external battery by a huge margin, i might consider dumping it and get a li-ion one .

Just for info, my current eneloop 2x AA 2000mah (total 4000mah) battery performance as below:

Able to charge from 30% to 60% in 100 minutes before battery flat. Charging condition is with data packet services/3G on (i realise with it on, the drain on the battery is much higher).
