Nope. Never convert anything. Just copy as it is to my SD card.

Anyone tried to connect their SGS2 on their LCD/Plasma via HDMI using designated cable that is designed to function so.

Any input ? Planning to get the cable and playback my photo gallery on my plasma.

please input

Can I play videos of very big capacity? Like 3gb/4gb/5gb.

Will SGS-2 allow?

Someone did. He post pics as well. Can't remember if its in this thread or the previous one. You can try search for it.

If you are the multimedia and gamer type, you will love it. It is fantastic at playing back all 720p and 1080p videos. All videos appear as their native resolution on the TV, only the apps are still stuck at WVGA.

I played Modern Combat 2 for a whole hour without looking at my screen at all, just looking at the TV

Very balanced way of looking at things. I agree wholeheartedly with this guy, being a prior iP4 modder myself.

iP4 = It just works, but consequently is more limited.
SGS2 = Needs more user interaction for INITIAL set up, but is consequently a whole lot more flexible.

I mean, battery wise I have the ori 1650mah batt, the Sammy 2000mah, Spiderfoot "2400mah", Momax 2700mah and I've tried the Sammy battery case, bought the DroidAx (for someone else) and am waiting for the PowerSkin. How's that for choice?

And than there's kernels, ROMs, Modems to choose from.

Plus the 4S is an effing battery drainer right now. 10% in standby is just sad.

The biggest I've tried so far are around 2gb+. Have yet to try the other bigger capacity.

That is great enough

@rattan: I have the MHL cable (ori) and am using it often now to output streaming Anime to my Samsung HD plasma. No issues what so ever except the inability to shut the SGS2 screen off and use the TV out exclusively. Also (prolly because the screen is on all the time), with every other kernel BESIDES Siyah + increased charging input hack, the battery WILL drain while MHL is in use.

@clIan: 4GB files are max, due to Fat32 limitation. Can be solved by using a kernel with FUSE NTFS modules (Siyah has them) and mounting the module with droidscript (allowing you to use NTFS formatted sd-cards, HDDs and pendrives), but I malas wanna try.

Also, 64GB SDXC cards can be used, with the above limitations kept in mind (we can't use exFat yet, only NTFS/Fat32).

And yes, the SGS2 plays a shitload of formats w/o conversion. I convert anyway because watching 720p anime on a handheld is like listening to uncompressed wav files from an iPod shuffle.

Honestly speaking, the ONLY real advantage of the 4S is the DAC (better music SQ, on a minuscule comparison level), and camera (the BSI sensor on the 4S IS better, don't kid yourself guys). As the SQ problem WILL be solved once we have ICS (which allows us to use USB DAC Amps), the camera is the only remaining plus point IMHO.

Thanks you

What is BSI?

Btw, SGS-2 has continuous autofocus for video recording. But, can I touch the screen wherever I want to focus while recording videos?

Tq again!

Nope,u cant touch focus on video,but picture can touch to focus. video will use auto focus

after backup with titanium, i need to copy out the file or i can flash directly?

What file? U mean titanium backups or rom file?

yes, titanium backup file

yes copy the backup files out

U dont need to copy it out actually. If u wanna be extra extra safe,can copy the file to pc,if case something bad happens. after backup,the chances of the backup corrupt is slim. Not sure what u mean by flash,if u mean flash rom,then can do my above steps. if u wanna restore the apps from the backups,then no need to copy

Checkrom Revolution v1.0 + Siyah Kernel 2.0

what mean is this.

i flashed to checkrom now.

+ siyah is how to do?

Powerskin?

http://power-skin.com/battery-cases/ap1515...-s-tmobile.html

That version is for the T-Mobile only right? How have you ordered a different model from the one offered on the website?

ya i on EDGE 24/7 with minimal (but not minimum) brightness.
i could get easily get 15hours out of that and still left 10-30%
with screen time 3-5hrs with at least 1 hours ,sometime 2hours, call time since thats my daily usage.
not to mention bluetooth connected 50% of the time of this usage.

if 3G or H, can kong in less than 10 hours...likely lesser

but i aint sure about off-ing H and just limiting it to 3G only from *#301279# (proceed with caution as you are noob lol --ok meant to be joke)

Steps:
1)backup apps in titanium backup,can copy backupfiles to pc to be safe
2)wipe cache,wipe dalvik cache,wipe data(if u wanna prevent possible probs) in cwm
3)flash checkrom zip file
4)after finish flashing,reboot into checkrom n set everything up
5)boot into cwm and flash siyah kernel

done
