I didn't know that until it happened to me. I thought of snapping some random ceiling shots. Noted on the disablement of camera function when your battery dips low. I thought I can trigger happy until the last drop.
*
feedback to samsung abt this before... they said they would look into it.

anyway, when i mentioned this before, workaround for this is to reinstall the modified camera apps. you'll need to have a rooted phone to do that. from what i understand, the modified camera apps will not have this battery requirement.

the swype version that comes bundled with sgs2 is licensed.

if we update the swype version with the beta version, will the license be valid or the beta will expire?
*
beta is beta ma... means not officially released for actual use.

but as per earlier reply by others... u will actually need to uninstall swype first before you can try out the beta.

Second mydragoon's post. Hopefully no root required.

On a side note, tomorrow's the big day! Hopefully Samsung won't take months to release the official ICS firmware for S2.
*
well, samsung is doing the next nexus (to be unveiled tomorrow). so they (and other developers) already have access to ICS and should already have worked on it. just hope sgs2 is still samsung's focus...

i dun mind if they stop at ICS. can't be greedy. then again, i recall ICS requires manufacturers to sign and agree to support for at least 18 mths.

I think I know.

But lets not ruin the surprise shall we... *wink*

Anyway, RPG lovers will also be happy that we can actually run ANY of the Baldurs Gate game (Planescape Torment included) as well on the SGS2.

Control without a BT mouse is... painful though.

Still waiting for someone (anyone!) to port Jagged Alliance 2 to Android. For the love of God, if my old N900 and even my N810 can do it, why not my android superduperultraphone?
*
holy cow! even the game that requires you to purposely die?!? lol...

now i'm waiting... and waiting... common... share?!? smile.gif i have been waiting for a decent RPG to appear on Android! this is just good news!

Guys, try out the Espier Launcher posted a few posts back, looks and feels EXACTLY like an iPhone, just with a huge screen.

i have to agree with the statement i marked in RED. tried it to see if there the launcher had anything special... and boy, you can't really do much. so i uninstalled it. lol...

bios is the...well...bios to run the game. look at the video you'll see me showing you how to set up the bios at the beginning.

FF7 AND FF8 and FF9 works 100% full speed, although some sound stuttering issues.

ive overplayed Final Fantasy, bored of it.

Diablo meanwhile, actually more resource hungry than FF. FF renders the location piece meal while diablo has to render the entire level, which is why Apple Iphone 4 can run FF7 but cant run Diablo. Diablo runs just fine on our SGS2.
*
ok, will check out the video again later. watched in office without sound. wink.gif

if you record again, also good la... do post the new video again. smile.gif

well, like vintage cars... we can now claim to have limited edition phones... wink.gif

hmmm... i was under the impression exynos was a full samsung thing -- meaning their R&D, etc... *sigh*

Exynos is losing its edge. The core architecture of Exynos was developed by chip designer, Intrinsity. Apple poached them and Intrisinity is no-longer under contract to ful-fill future SOC architectural design for Samsung.

hmmm... apple saw samsung was doing the right thing and one-up samsung?!? lol...
