Freaking heavy batt life test for the Momax complete. 6 hours with 5 hours screen on, video streaming, stuff downloading time.

Yes, xScope eats battery like no tomorrow. Really.

I think it's the 5 hours display screen on rather than xscope that drain your battery. Even with opera mini i get 6 hours only and opera mini had no full flash player in it :-)

hi everyone,
my s2 android version is 2.3.3.
is it possible to upgrade it without flashing rom or root ?
normally how do you all upgrade it?
using Kies?

*
Go to service centre and kindly ask them to upgrade your firmware. It's free of charge and save your headache from using Kies :-P

I've send my phone SGS2 to Service Center plaza in Petaling Jaya. It has taken ONE WEEK and they told me they're changing my parts.

I hope the technician DOESN'T change my CHIPSET
I ish worries now. sad.gif

What's wrong with your phone.? I don't think the technician going to touch your processor unless you got defect processor in the first place...

They state it's 1.2ghz on the box but it's actually 1.0. When i came to know of this i was like wtf, seriously.
*
Are you sure yours running on 1.0Ghz..? Both the original SGSII and the 'G' version should be running on 1.2Ghz dual cpu..

Stucked at boot screen S with yellow triangle.

And they told me they're changing parts. As far as i know, they just have to reflash. But....the technician told me they're waiting for parts arrival. I'm puzzled
*
That's odd..They should just reflash the original stock firmware only. Why you got stuck on bootscreen.? Wrong flashing and semi-brick your phone or you still on your stock rom when you got that bootscreen.?
Oppss..yellow triangle = insecure kernel = illegal flashing :-)

I believe it was due to wrong Kernel when I try to flash.

Even if wrong flash/semi-brick, hardware are not involved.

I'm excited yet curious as tomorrow I'm going to the Samsung Service to collect it. Will update you guys here on what parts have been 'replaced'
*
I'm sure the technician will just reflash original stock firmware and won't touch anything inside your phone. Maybe they just want to pull your leg and state their 'unhappiness' that you flash using unofficial way :-)

Your phone also got semi-bricked while flashing and had to wait for a week..??
I'm not saying the techinician is bad. It just seem odd to wait the whole week just to get reflash original stock rom. Surely there must be a reason why he had to wait for a week. Most logical reason i can think of is the technician feel angry or unhappy they had to do extra work due to our careless flashing using unofficial way.. :-)

Don't forget to activate your data plan. No data plan.. no free call to other network and will cost you arm and leg when use data network.

nah...it's because my EFS Folder corrupted T.T and i dun have BACKUP lol...so i send back to them...i have to say SAMSUNG SERVICE CENTER are always full of people...so that means lots and lots of things to repair..

~~lol~~ Both you and Keatsan phone can be flash and ready within 30 minutes top. Like i said maybe the technician 'malas to layan' this type of problem due to our own careless doing and make both of you suffer by cannot using the phone for the whole week.
Well..atleast it still free of charge :-))

Did your network icon 3G/H still shown on your upper homescreen when you set APN to MMS.? Last time i delete my Internet APN so my icon didn't show. It came only when i sent MMS. Never tried set to MMS before. Your feedback is much appreciated...

LOL, problem is that some of us have our phones running at 1.6GHz.....and the only difference is the processor, not the GPU, so games would look like crap on a huge high res screen....and will run worse if the resolution of the game is increased
*
The Exynos 4212 is meant for Nexus Prime. More advance than our SGSII which is Exynos 4210

Ohh, I didn't know about the increase in GPU power....well, it needs to be much much more powerful to power a screen of that resolution....at least 4 times more powerful (find the total num of pixels and divide total num of our pixels), which it isn't.....so it should perform much worse in apps that actually use all those pixels instead of just upscaling

EDIT: it should need at least 2.5 times the power in everything to perform the same as our phones...

EDIT 2: so many websites online with leaked specs...dont know which to believe...either way, minimum 2 and a half times the CPU and GPU power
*
Friend., don't get confused between CPU and GPU. The Exynos 4212 for Nexus and Exynos 4210 for SGSII is CPU not GPU. The GPU for SGSII is ARM Mali-400:-P

hmm.gif , Either way, we are talking about pushing pixels to the screen, which will be both the CPU and GPU's job...they probably upraded the CPU to handle the bigger screen but they will escape with a weak GPU for a resolution like that because it will be running our usual games, not having any more pixels
*
Why pixel got anything to do with games? GPU yes but pixel no. I'm sure Nexus Prime will not be using ARM Mali-400

Chill down bro. I'm sure you'll be using either Note or Prime soon :-)

because the screen has bigger resolution and the games will accomodate that resolution thus more pixels thus more GPU/CPU processing power is required to make those pixels. Just like PC games, if you lower the resolution, the performance will be better.

Nexus Prime specs out ad? if it's also use the quad core Mali-400, then we can expect more and more games to be support it which means more games for us  thumbup.gif
*
I understand what you're saying destEX. It ashwin1234 that make me confused. Nexus will be using more advance CPU an probably more advance GPU to accomodate the higher resolution/more pixel. So why is wrong with that?

Shouldn't be any problem if you download apps from market. It is flashing custom rom that you should be carefull/worried about :-)

Didn't mean to cause confusion...what I meant was if you compare a screen of 2x2 and 1x1, the 2x2 has 4 times the number of pixels, so would need more power to PUSH those pixels with an image....so IF an app were to run at that native resolution, it would need a whole lot more power.

Understand now? If still don't, please PM me and I will gladly explain
*
~~duhh~~
And that is why Nexus is using more powerful/advance CPU/GPU. So what is the problem in that.??
I'm sure Nexus Google/Samsung engineer and technician is more bright than us and had test and culculate all this technical thing before they release the phone to market.
