QUOTE(wktan90 @ Sep 11 2011, 04:32 PM) if without rooting, is it this phone really useless? ppl root their phone is to get full access to their phone's system to tweak their phones , making it better . For SGSII , standard rom is consider very good so rooting is not required unless u wanna go custom rom or do any customization . Forgot to add , if someone tells u without root , the phone is useless , ask him/her to think logically , if this phone is useless since stock is not rooted , how the hell SGSII sold so many units within a short time period ? Samsung is not a "fruit-cake" u know This post has been edited by Noobi3: Sep 11 2011, 04:39 PM

QUOTE(mkit @ Sep 11 2011, 04:39 PM) benny... wat is the price for S2 ori now? Spend a little time , search thru Garage Sales and get the answer yourself la ..... Benny is here to help , not 2 help in updating pricing for AP or SME set la Added on September 11, 2011, 4:49 pmQUOTE(nicregi @ Sep 11 2011, 04:40 PM) First of all. I feel this question is a little 'funny' 1. If the phone need rooting, why did Samsung actually release this phone? 2. Have you read that people saying phone not rooted and is useless? Therefore, if you want 'extra' flexibility, then rooting is your choice. Added on September 11, 2011, 4:41 pmFruit cake....HAHAHA!  You made my day bro  Ya mah , when the 4th fruit was intro and everyone knows about the reception issues , nobody cares and still buy it n dont mind using a " condom " over it since it's free .... When sensation or even incredible S got some death grip issue or even SGSII with the yellowish display or pink camera spot, ppl r making such a fuzz over it , considering this and that , blablabla and these issues are not in every unit unlike those " fruity" devices .

QUOTE(wktan90 @ Sep 11 2011, 04:50 PM) thanks for the reply anyway =) i was just wondering that my phone is kinda battery draining.. and i think with the help of rooting and flash rom, it helps in the battery life and even performance.. for me the performance is really fine, but the battery...  Try using it and charging it a week or 2 ...... The batt need some time 2 run in

QUOTE(wiind @ Sep 11 2011, 11:45 PM) I'm a little curious on how you guys manage the contacts which have linkage to facebook contacts. In normal case, contacts with same name (match the name in facebook profile) will get linked automatically but we will have to manually join the contacts if the names are not the same. I know Google does not store the linkage info, so to avoid manually joining them again in the future (reason: change phone/rom), one could use Titanium Backup to backup and restore the whole contact data including the linkage of contacts. Now I'm wondering, will it works every time (across different rom/phone)? Or is there any better way of doing this?  In normal case , I dont link my contacts with Fb contacts coz the last thing i need is " MacDonalds " in my contact for McD delivery to have a face of a fren with the name Jerry Macdonalds from fb . . . . Ever tried import contact to sd card ? Dunno if this is what u r looking for but it works on any Android regardless of ROM

QUOTE(wiind @ Sep 12 2011, 12:07 AM) I've been using TB to backup and restore my contact (to preserve the linkage) all these while but worry that it will not work one day coz I've manually joined quite a lot of contacts.  So you meant the contact exported to sd card will have the linking info also? hmm...gonna try that then... Well , I'm not 2 sure on the linkage but what I do know is it automatically copies all your contacts including your fb , tweeter or whatever other contacts which u have in the phone , even those u didnt set to show in your contact list ..... For me , I only need like around 500+ contacts but if i backup my contacts , i get like 2k+ as it includes contacts from other acc so I stop using it and stick to google

QUOTE(TheLaptopDudeGuy @ Sep 12 2011, 09:16 AM) Wiping=factory reset? So if i backup with titanium backup, then it did infact wipe, i can still restore everything? One more thing, is it normal for the battery to drop from full to 65% after 20 minutes of games,30 minutes of 3g web browsing and 30 minutes of wifi web browsing? Straight usage. If u wanna backup using TB , dont suggest u restore or even backup anything else beside your user app coz u r going from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 right ? Restoring system data might give u problems

QUOTE(Fallenangelz @ Sep 13 2011, 10:54 AM) i also notice that the network signal hardly maintain at H+ when i didn't surf the net, but when using the internet actively it will remain at H+. i believe its a way of conserving ur battery life though. anyway r u using stock rom and which modem version r u using? give more information so that we can provide some opinion  Er..... If i'm not mistaken , u dun get H+ all the time , only when there is download or upload going on ..... Most of the time , it stays at 3G only until there is a data transfer , then it jumps to H+ This post has been edited by Noobi3: Sep 13 2011, 11:06 AM

QUOTE(davidlow7 @ Sep 13 2011, 10:43 AM) Guys, Need to check with you guys are you facing any "Network Jump" issue.. from H to 3G.. then to E and so on.. it just didn't stay even when you are static (not moving). It does affect my surfing when the network jumps, the loading will stuck for a second then it moves again. Probably people will say issue with Network including Samsung Cust. Service. But my friend's HTC and Iphone are so stable that the network barely moves with DiGI network. Yesterday while in Kuchai Lama Avenue, I couldn't get 3G Signal in the shop while my friend's Iphone could get 3G very stable. I set the Network option to WCDMA ONLY... and No Network Found at all. Kindly advise what do you think? May need to send my phone to Samsung for checking. Are u using KH3 modem ? If u r , saw some feedback from users KH3 modem is not stable on XDA .... They go back to KG1-3 coz they felt its the best for network .

QUOTE(jayro_88 @ Sep 13 2011, 03:51 PM) how come when i checked at my task manager, theres no apps running but when i checked at advenced task killer theres a lot of apps running. after i kill or force close the task and apps, few minutes after that i check it the closed apps is running again without my permission. thats because those apps are something u set in your own phone such as widgets . Turning it off doesnt mean u do any good to your phone , in fact it drains more battery as the system need 2 turn it back on and worst case , u might be experiencing FC

QUOTE(syklspurs @ Sep 15 2011, 04:16 PM) yeah lets just hope that. because i was torn in between sensation n sgs2 haha and finally got this but looking at sensation dev really omg. so fast! and to think sgs2 was unlocked and cm7 team were given few! haha that last 2 made me buy sgs2 but hopefully like u said, there will be more to come. just reached US today right? I'm using both Sensation and SGSII but trust me , regardless of how many post u seen in XDA , its not very stable yet ..... Currently , everyone is rolling back to 2.3.4 from 2.3.5 for Sensation due to alot of issues . Development wise , they r on par , nothing to be proud of . Personal choice , I take the SGSII over Sensation anytime
