Did your phone sitting in a casing while this thing happened?

the culprit behind this had resigned. most probably due to the epic failure in their lawsuit. 

Apple would now have a much more impactful decision in its hands if it had pursued the European registration of that patent more thoroughly. Also, Samsung may be able to work around that particular patent without a huge degradation of the usability of its devices because it appears to relate to the way users flip through the pictures in a photo gallery. However, regardless of how Samsung may be able to work around this decision in Europe, it's a setback for Android, a platform that is at issue in more than 50 lawsuits worldwide. In all likelihood, the winning patent is infringed by Android itself -- not the operating system per se, but by one or more of the applications that ship with Android and without which the usefulness of Android would be impaired in one particular area (photo viewing). Apple has now obtained the first enforceable court decision (out of many lawsuits going on around the world) that finds Android to infringe an Apple patent -- and there will definitely be many more to come.

Hi everyone.. just want to share my 3rd day using sgs2.. Battery is worst than my previous galaxy s n galaxy tab.. i fully charge my phone at 7.30am.. Now 10.30am bat now 58% already.. I turn on my 3g n wifi evrytime for whatsapp... Is this normal

the gps very good.. using papago, 10sec locked sattelite already..

for those who are into statistics... it is based on some numbers i collected over a few weeks.

on average...
* charging rate over USB is at 1% for every 3 mins. it works out to about 20% per hour.
* direct charging (power socket) is at 1% for every 2 mins. so, it's about 30% per hour.

note that the above stats is based on stock rom with some processes like rss reader and tweedeck updates at every 15mins.

for idle discharging with same background process as above -- rss reader and tweetdeck set to refresh every 15mins + some incoming sms, etc but NO calls... it is about 1% every 20-30mins. can safely say that it's 2% per hour. so, overnight (hrs of sleep time), for me... i can expect the battery to drop by 15% or so...

well i think u're wrong. apple only succeeded in infringing the photobrowser apk, and lost another two. which means the lawsuit is totally failure considering the negative impact towards their public image. once samsung changed the photobrowser then the galaxy series can relaunch again (i believe) as long as there's no other shit come out from apple. the ban will only enforce starting 15 october, so there's still plenty of time for samsung to release an update for it

Yea.. i hv viber, facebook, whatsapp, yahoo email.. but everytime i want to lock  my phone, i will always kill running apps using advanved task killer.. did my phone bat prob?if yes i want to sent to samsung..

Go to your settings>Applications>battery usage and see which application is using the most percentage..maybe it can give u an idea.

Stock.. not root... so, it is my bat fault?

Added on August 25, 2011, 10:48 amNow my bat 48% already..

i think i recalled somewhere that viber and facebook "chat" are quite draining on battery.. my im+ also, but i need msn.. 

kill tasks or services?? tasks should be ok, but some services esp default come with samsung ones will come back after a while.. those i dont bother to kill coz closing and starting will cause even more batt drain..

not reli. i using social hub+viber+whatsapp, not much draining observed. well of cz i'm using wifi, if 3g will be diff story. one thing is skype reli drain like crazy. so i oni sign in if others ask me for video call

oh my bad.. memory failing.. now u mention.. yeah.. not viber, it's skype.. 

just sharing some stats based on my own experience.

phone: samsung galaxy s2. not rooted and running stock/ original Samsung ROM

at almost new condition (meaning not many apps installed and definitely dun have any apps with background services running), the idle discharge rate was about 1% for every 35 mins.

after installing more apps...
background process: tweetdeck + Google reader refreshing every 15 mins; Skype, whatsapp and Viber installed. whatsapp was not running in background while i intentionally had viber running (icon on notification bar). skype, even when it was not turned on, it was actually running in the background -- that's why in the next set of data, i uninstalled skype -- i dun like apps that starts automatically, its so malware-like... idle discharge rate at this setting was at about 1% every 15 mins.

after un-installing skype (while the other things remained just about the same), idle discharge rate was at about 1% every 20 mins. this was about the same for viber version before and after the exit button. ya, no significant change for me.

overall, my phone's idle discharge rate is at about 1% every 20-30mins.

as you can see... viber running (before and after the exit button) didn't really affect my discharge rate.

I'm trying to figure out the same thing too. I think it's a bug.

I dunwana sound excessively demanding but how buggy is da current firmware/stock rom?

Flashing custom roms ( i choose to avoid this ) would the last thing in my list if i were to get this device.

Added on August 25, 2011, 11:15 amGuys, rule number one. You DO NOT need to use task manager to kill apps. I think in many forums it ahd said it burn more battery than not using it. Just saying...never used them and never had an issue with battery life though.

Contacts: Menu/More - select/tick : show "Only contacts with phone numbers"

display 38%, internet 21%, android os 15%, wifi sharing 11%, android system 3%, angry bird, cell standby, whatsapp,facebook,maps,racing moto all 2%..

It is weird why got angry birds n racing moto.. i hv close the apps n kill them on runing services..

Hi dude,

im using xpax prepaid and planning to get Digi smartplan 68,

how long they will take to port in my xpax number and get the galaxy S2?

Must done in Digi Center? Online can?

thanks for the clarification guys

@mydragoon - I've just read ur review. Is the GMAIL problem still there?

Contacts: Menu/More - select/tick : show "Only contacts with phone numbers"

i read the review from mydragoon's blog and found that the gmail apps offer limited attachment options? only video,music and pictures. is this a permanent problem?

What are the average battery life for you guys?

Mine should just last approximately 20hours with some light gaming (10-15mins). Standby over night with wifi, 3g, etc off will drain around 15 to 20% of my battery.

OS Monitor shows that I had around 47 processes running on every boot. Advanced Task Manager sometime shows FMradio and some other apps automatically switched on by itself.

What's killing me is even in standby it suck my battery like vampire.

Detail:
- Using stock ROM KH3 (before that KF3, same result)
- Tried ninphetamine 2.0.5 with SetCPU and undervolt + underclock (same result)

Anyone having the same problem with me?
