Offtopic. Was wondering why kies cannot detect my ace. Forgot to remove root.
Wah the update really fast.

hey guys i noticed that many apps have wakelocks.. even whatsapp.. should i be worried? will it affect anything, such as battery life?

its actually about the same size of our SGS2. only it takes of the physical button area for that 0.35". buat galaxy note is BIG.

Added on October 8, 2011, 11:27 amnothing to be worried i guess coz the app is running on background. unless it takes a lot of battery juice.

eh i don get it.. if root cannot update? cause i root mine, and kies is showing my phone already has latest update

after GB no more SOD so far

Well, I'm not sure about this too.

But I'm thinking like..

Some time later, your phone batt drops 1%. Then it'll charge again. Full again > Batt drop > Charge again....

I think it's like this la, so still don't think it's a good thing to leave it for the whole night.

Hi there. Does anyone of you have the problem of the phone gets hot suddenly and then screen just blacked out with no response to button clicking (except long press the power button to restart the device)?
Then, when the phone restart, my battery drain out almost 70%. What the ****

i always leave my desire charge overnite since last year, now still ok. no problem to charge overnite coz it have auto-cut circuit.

glad to hear that. helped my fren to upgrade his SGA to custom 2.3.4 rom. kies refused to cooperate as the device edi using custom rom


Edit: just received his sms. he brought his SGA to SSC at time square there n the technician help him flashed latest official firmware. wasted my whole nite ytd

Been doing so from the day I purchased the phone. These days, the charger and the battery are smart enough to have its' own "way of working". It's pretty much so for an auto that uses caburetor or fuel injection. Time has changed and so do technology.

It's a bloody RM2,000 piece of smartphone. Well, you could forgive her reaction. At least she cared which is a good thing.

Added on October 8, 2011, 12:49 pmMost mobile phone chargers are not really chargers, only power adapters that provide a power source for the charging circuitry which is almost always contained within the mobile phone.[15] They are notoriously diverse, having a wide variety of DC connector-styles and voltages, most of which are not compatible with other manufacturers' phones or even different models of phones from a single manufacturer.

Users of publicly accessible charging kiosks must be able to cross-reference connectors with device brands/models and individual charge parameters and thus ensure delivery of the correct charge for their mobile device. A database-driven system is one solution, and is being incorporated into some designs of charging kiosks.

Mobile phones can usually accept a relatively wide range of voltages[citation needed], as long as it is sufficiently above the phone battery's voltage. However, if the voltage is too high, it can damage the phone. Mostly, the voltage is 5 volts or slightly higher, but it can sometimes vary up to 12 volts when the power source is not loaded.

There are also human-powered chargers sold on the market, which typically consists of a dynamo powered by a hand crank and extension cords. There are also solar chargers.

China and other countries are making a national standard on mobile phone chargers using the USB standard.[16] in June 2009, 10 of the world's largest mobile phone manufacturers signed a Memorandum of Understanding to develop specifications for and support a microUSB-equipped common External Power Supply (EPS) for all data-enabled mobile phones sold in the EU.[17][18] On October 22, 2009, the International Telecommunication Union announced a standard for a universal charger for mobile handsets (Micro-USB).[19]

what kind of juice defender do you use? is it the free or premium one?

im thinking to get this phone but should i wait for samsung nexus prime?

Good to know that still can claim warranty there even if the phone is rooted/flash

The design for Nexus Prime is also different. If I'm not mistaken, the SGS2 back is flatbed while the Nexus Prime is curvaceous just like the Son Ericsson Arc. I could be wrong here.

In addition, I believe the NiCd "memory" issue still plaguing us until today...However, our SGS2 is not utilising NiCd as it's battery. It uses Lithium-Ion type battery, right?

Lithium-Ion: Lithium seems an ideal material for a battery: it is the lightest metal in addition to having the highest electric potential of all metals. Unfortunately, lithium is an unstable metal, so batteries that use lithium must be made using lithium ions (such as lithium-thionyl chloride). Even so, dangers persist with lithium-ion batteries. Many of the inorganic components of the battery and its casing are destroyed by the lithium ions and, on contact with water, lithium will react to create hydrogen which can ignite or can create excess pressure in the cell. If the lithium melts (melting point is 180 C), it may come into direct contact with the cathode, causing violent chemical reactions. As a consequence, lithium batteries are often limited to small sizes. Portable devices, such as notebook computers, smart cards, and cellular telephones, are often powered by lithium ion batteries. These batteries have no memory effect and do not use poisonous metals, such as lead, mercury or cadmium.

It could be the agreed packages that they are offering. From sole proprietary outlets to authorised Samsung dealers to whatever there is out there. Mine has 18-month warranty. What I last heard from SenQ/Seng Heng, they are giving away 36-month warranty (1 year from Samsung, 2 years from SenQ/Seng Heng).

I was told the salesperson that even though the warranty stretches from one year to three years, it could be services warranty given and not the product warranty. Well, you know how those terms and conditions work, right?

you sure there are still phones using NiCd? thats quite old and i dont think its suitable to use on a phone

I think nowadays all mobile phones use Li-ion and Li-Po.

Hmmm...technology will exist and would be brought forward from year to year (given the fact that they are not thrown or buried at the waste land). We are welcoming the age of light-ness and Lithium-Ion is the answer. With weight being an issue to be taken into account, it wouldn't be of a surprise that good bye to NiCd and welcome to Litium-Ion batteries.

Besides smartphone or whatever mobile there is in the market, NiCd batteries are still out there in the market.

A tip for SGS2 user: Scroll the notification bar and press whatever there is for USB connection. I tried a few times earlier but couldn't get it connected even though under SETTINGS>APPLICATIONS>DEVELOPMENT.

I left out what's being posted at the front/first page (by benny888) that you need to press, erm..."USB Connect" to complete the plug and play.

By the way, my PlayStation®3 can detect my SGS2. There's another forummer that said his SGS2 could be detected on his XBox 360 also. So, there you have it, the two confirmed consoles that the SGS2 could be plugged in to perform some video, photograph transfers.

I thinkmy phone stuck with xtouch ROM coz flashing to other ROM will resulted no data streaming.tried with cognition,ciskello n androidmeda.all no data after flash

What we are looking in the future? 28nm 64-Core Epiphany-IV microprocessor chip?

Adapteva, a privately-held semiconductor technology start up, today announced the release of the fourth generation of its Epiphany multicore architecture IP – a 28nm design with 64 independent high-performance RISC cores on a single chip. The latest generation of the Epiphany architecture offers the highest energy efficiency of any floating point processor solution to date, with a ground-breaking 70 GFLOPS/Watt.

Oooook...translation for idiot is needed.how fast the new chip compare our s2?
