It'd be a better solution to use any of those compact cameras but at 500 shots, I don't think the camera battery can sustain if you are taking at fine resolution1.

BTW, which camera can survive 500 pictures a day?   Have to be a little realistic  2. Gorilla glass. If you read the review, you should know it has gorilla glass and you should know how good it is. 3. Again, yes, I think this has been stated soooo many times on the forum already  4. I am using Doc to Go so no problem here. Not sure about others. This post has been edited by nicregi: Aug 13 2011, 11:52 AM |

QUOTE(Eiraku @ Aug 12 2011, 01:33 AM) It's a normal thing with the SGS2, and I do the secret hack thing often (because it doesn't stick). Thanks, anyone knows if they's or will be permanent solution to this low volume issue?One of the MAIN issues IMHO with the SGS2, far outranking the screen peculiarities, battery drain and "der pink spot" in my book, as it interferes with the SGS2's MAIN function - being a phone. Funny because on my old iPong, the earpiece was so loud everybody else could hear what I was talking about (which is an problem in its own right) - that is, if I could hold a good signal and didn't drop the call in the first place (very REAL issue with the iPhone that iSheep in urban areas like to pretend never exists). |
