Batery  Mugen etc r bigger sizethan the ori s2 batery.

Which battery is premium quality, highest capacity, and same sizeas the ori s2 battery?
*
Get Momax 1650 or Mugen 1700 : see page 1 post#8 for purchase links

Cheaper alternatives : Yoobao 1500 or Andida 2000 ( but i doubt this as I find it infact worse than the original 1650)

Boat continue to load the webpage even when I go to other apps. Dolphin always stop loading unless I keep dolphin always on my screen

Also boat load flash faster

Well, I just tested only 15 minutes - this browser is indeed fast but it continually keep closing suddenly on my phone every few minutes. Maybe is incompatible with my UI ( SpB Shell 3D or rom ??- Modaco GR5)
So go back to XScope - which is equally fast and it is very stable, never closes when in use

why it says my youtube need to update, but when i click on it in market only got the option 'open' unlike other apps got 'update'... i try uninstalling it and thought can redownload from market but cannot lol.. cannot find it.. so i restore back using Titanium Backup.. but then it still keep prompt me to update it but i cannot... sien
*
Using the new Market 3.027 or 3.13 ??? - these are bugs. Faced several apps on mine - prompt me to update but no choice to update . Some apps just show details only, not even a download button. I find the new Market app a gross failure as it is also very slow when loading up
I removed these new versions and install back ver 2.3.6

Bought a car charger for my s2.
Its 1Amp charger.
Got another 1 is 2Amp, but I scared too high Amp will spoil my s2 battery.

So finally bought this 1Amp one.

It will not spoil your battery. I have been using a 2A car charger ( from my early years using to charge the ipad ) to charge all my smartphones for the past 2+ years. Your battery has a builtin chip to auto cut off. Using a 2A will be faster but not twice

One should not be affected just by one user experience. Probably his phone connectors is defective ??
Well, I have been using Andida batteries since the days of Windows Mobile ( all HTC) and on Androids - Nexus, Galaxy S, HD2 ( android) and I have openly say in this thread is agood cheap reliable battery. I did caution do not believe the stated 2000 mAH as I find the performance is slightly poorer than the original 1650 mAH. But for a measely RM 30 - don't expect too much. I have been using the Andida on my SGS II for past several days and I can safely tell you I have no issues at ll. In this thread there are also several users and most like me complained only of the "misleading" mAH declared

I always like to quote this : My ex BOSS brand new imported Mercedes S Class valued at RM 800,000 broke down on the highway on week one itself !!!! So, does this means the MB is a poor quality car ??

Just for curiosity I have also in May purchased 2 cheap 1800mAH batteries ( US$5 each ) - used it for 4 months , also no issue. The performance loses out to the Andida . Till now my original battery used only less than 2 weeks and I have the phone nearly 4 months +
I have just placed order for 1 unit Mugen 3500 and 2 units of Momax 1700 and I am very sure it will be great and better than the cheapos I have tried
Those who know me personally knows that I am a " adventurous" type and I do not worry about screwing up my phone. I don't think/worry about warranty. I just like to buy stuffs to test and compare. Same goes for my various purchase of portable chargers ( have bought 7 but kept 3 ). I have kept my favorites ; the rest are already dump as it fails my expectations

hey guys i have a simple question here,is it safe that i leave my phone charging before i sleep,i mean charging it until i wake up. Will it shorten the life of the battery,tired to wake up and plug it off. )=
*
IT normally takes about 3-4 hours to fullcharge the battery from say 5%. So what you can do and what I always do : Buy a timer plug. Plug your desk charger to it. Set it to 4-5 hours. After 4 hours, the current will be disconnected. But be prepared when you wake up you will not have 100%, probably 95%

Hmm thanks for the reply bro, and do you guys drain your battery until it becomes low before charging it??i do that almost every night. smile.gif
i see Uncle Benny, so it's not recommended to leave it overnight??
*
Do spend few minutes read page 1 FAQ post # 3 Q16 a,b,c on battery especially on battery behavior
You can safely leave it overnight as once charge, the builtin chip will auto cutoff .
It is simply my habit not to have electric devices plug in and switch on if I do not have used for it. Call me paranoid, I just do not like the idea of a live current in the wires connected to a live " switch on" device when I do not need it. In my house only the fridge is on 24/7 . When I go to bed, everything is switch off. I don't even switch on my porch lights as there is a well lighted streetlamp just right in front my house. If I need to download stuffs overnight, similarly I used a timer to auto off the computer , setting it to the estimate download completion time

Wanna ask some basic questions :

Can sgs2 read png files? And does it shows up in gallery?

I transfer files through kies air/usb storage but it wont show up in the gallery. Any idea why? Or where should i drop the pictures to?
*
YES ; png are basic graphic files. I have many png files in my phone . Many apps uses png files as their logos too. It will shows up in any picture/graphic viewer including gallery
Just drop the files in any folder - there is no rule/restriction
Most probably your file transfers are unsuccessful if you don't see it . Anyway I never used KIES as I have written it off as the worst file transfer/sync software I have ever use. I install KIES just for its phone drivers

Apologies all around for the mistake. My bad  blush.gif

On a side note, I have a question about charging as well. My Battery Monitor Widget and Android System Info tells me that my battery has been charged to 100%. But Android doesn't tell me that the charging is done, and when I go to settings -> about -> status, the Battery Level says 100% but the Battery Status still says "charging". Should I continue charging or stop?
*
Is it so critical that you must see and have a 100.00 % charge but not 99.99% ?? If you read the FAQ I pointed to you, it even advise you not to have phone 100% fully charge

AFAIK as long as your charger still chuck inside your phone then at Battery Status will continue says 'charging'. It only sometimes when you take out your charger, your battery status went down a bit like 98%.
*
Right and many users will still be asking why I see 100% , after I disconnect charge immediately drop down to 98-99 % ???

Why not ?
Since day one, my GPS lockup on official stock rom till all the cook roms ( Litening, Villan, TK, Cognition, Modaco, Smaberg, Gingermod, etc ) I have tested my GPS lockup has always being very fast. These are the times - it is always like this and very consistent wherever I go in Msia and Spore

Google Maps, Papago X5 : 3 to 5 secs
Sygic Aura : Immediate to most 2 secs

And I DON"T use any other 3rd party apps to have quick fix. There is absolutely no need to use such apps. MY 3G is also always on 24/7. MY car is factory default tint, very light

Hi,I now found another screen problem,a big balck circle on the screen.
I really doubt with the quality of samsung mobile and mean of SUPER AMOLED PLUS screen.
The yellowish tint and black circle are obvious in grey background and u all can use this method to check.
This is very dissapointed.

*
Just go and ask for a replacement if you are so unhappy over it.
I must say mine is close to perfect; no yellowish tint, dead pixels or those slight grey spots
BTW where is your phone manufacture ? Look for it under the battery. Mine is Made in Korea. If stated just Made by Samsung - than don't know where is the source . Some has reported Made in China

Just flash Litening rom: It will give you auto root, install clockworkmod recovery, install a rom without wiping your phone. Try Litening ver 4.0 and below not v5 or 6 as these later versions has more issues/bugs than ver 4 below

Anyone having problem batch restoring with titanium backup pro? It is not working and have to restore 1 app at the time. Lucky i do not have much app. Must make complain to software developer.

I have been using Titanium Backup Pro for past 3 years, yet to come across such issue. Is it related to this cook rom - no idea as I have not tested this version . However my restores on all the cook roms I have tested ( inclusing my other Androids phones/tablets) is always good and never come across such issues. Why don't you post at the XDA thread of this Cyris rom to find out whether other users has such a problem
