It's a great phone!

Concerning to buy now but I wondering how long is the battery life....

Lazy to charge it frequently....
*
Depends on your usage. But normal use I believe everyday have to charge at least once. Its a 4.3in screen with 1.2mhz dual core so its gonna suck the batt fast.

I think Samsung is too busy preparing Exynos 4212 chips for Galaxy Note hence no more or limited older Exynos 4210. SGSII production achieve its target already. Time to concentrate and put full effort on the next product
~~just saying~~

Agree, they may not have enough production line and they need to start churning out the new models.

Ok 3 hrs screen on. With 40% bat life left. . 24/7 data.

Lowering brightness to 20% or less than30%
Significantly improves battery life
*
Yes it should. Screen and radio signals (especially data) consume more batt than cpu or gpu. Which is why i gave up on UV/UC the cpu.

I UC/UV simply becoz it makes the blardy phone less hot lol. At 1000mhz max UVes the SGS2 is noticeably less hot compared to running 1.2ghz un-UVed.

Still runs lag free too.
*
This I totally agree. The purpose of UV/UC is to reduce the heat. But using a phone cover you don't really feel the heat. Normally I would UV once I am sure the kernel is stable. But I seldom UC. Whats the point of getting a 1.2ghz phone and not fully utilizing it. tongue.gif

Set your governor to performance and you will fully utilize it. biggrin.gif Then your batt will also die faster. doh.gif

Lol for me no much difference between 800 n 1.2 lol. Both allow me to open up big excel n PDF file without lag. Dual core here we r talking about.

Yeap yeap . Significant reduction in heat production. I'm quite happy withmysetting now. Can very reach 4 hrs of screen on even more with single charge.
smile.gif thanks to pro here who made me pro to some extent

Actually it is impressive to get 4 hrs screen on time with data on 24/7. Congrats.

2G should reduce your batt usage. But by how much I am not sure. You can try out and report back. biggrin.gif If your just doing syncing and not downloading or browsing, 2G should be sufficient.

Simply because besides games (and even that is arguable), the 1.2ghz clockspeed is wasted on Gingerbread. The OS doesn't really know how to even utilize the dual core. And it definitely doesn't NEED anything above 1ghz. Not yet anyway.

GTA3 might push the limits though, but as it's playable on Tegra2, I'm guessing 1ghz would be enough for it too. Similarly ICS might make better use of 1.2ghz, OR it might even be even more multi-core friendly so we can actually UNDERCLOCK even more lol.

Right now, clockspeed is as much a gimmick as megapixels are, IMHO.
*
I agree with you, my single core 1ghz HD2 which is not even suppose to run android can run almost all apps/games in the market smoothly.

Just that I see no point in UC as the governor/kernel we use knows how to control the cpu. If you run 100 - 1200 mhz and look at cpuspy, 1.2 ghz usage is totally insignificant compared to 800mhz or 500mhz. So my point is there is no purpose in UC as we are not fully using 1.2ghz all the time. It won't reduce heat much as it does not stick to 1.2ghz.

There should not be a screen protector unless the shop stick it for you on the spot. You sure there is a screen protector there? Where you buy from?

for those typing multiple languages like me, i recommend Go keyboard.. can switch language very fast, has some nice themes too.

for those looking for a good japanese keyboard, use go keyboard's japanese plugin too, so far I tried a few japanese input apps, but this is the best. The keypress response very fast unlike multiling which I used before this. Also better than Simeji the ugly keyboard. It allows typing of whole sentence instead of just phrases like multiling.

cheers.

Haha, it's actually much more eye candy if you look on the phone. Join us lah, haha...

Btw antt00, I change back to siyah Kernal because it supports voltage tweaking  biggrin.gif
I now undervolting my phone, quite stable after few runs.

Current Settings:
- cpu/voltage settings:

1200 MhZ - 1150 mV
1000 MhZ - 1050 mV
800 MhZ  - 950 mV
500 MhZ  - 850 mV
200 MhZ  - 850 mV
100 MhZ  - 850 mV

Can't set lower than 850 mV by using "Voltage Control" from Android Market. Will see if it saves my battery life overnight. I guess it probably won't because this app monitoring/running all the time which will use some power.

I probably will use undervolting script later when it stable.
*
Its ok to test UV. You seem to lower it a lot. Just don't set it at boot until your sure it is stable.

Manage to get 4 hrs 6 mins as well today from 100% down to 18%. But my data not on 24/7 just when required. About 30 mins plus of active surfing and downloading apps from market. Also 1hr playing anime with bluetooth stereo and 1 hr of diversion game.

What were you doing? How did you get into that screen? I see your device is not even connected to usb so just long press the power button (>10s) and shut down the device and restart.

Samsung did not do anything wrong. They advertise a 1.2 ghz device so they give you a 1.2 ghz device. They did not advertise the processor make or model. Plus like they change the phone model to i9100g to differentiate like others have stated.
