its not that complicated at all. to improve battery life, you need to understand this 2 things; 1) standby time and 2) screen on time.

1)standby time

this is one of the thing that we forgot that the less we use the phone, the more standby time it will get.. so it will be useless if our battery can last 10 days but we barely use it. and with custom rom, the developer had tweaked some of the voltage properties so that when the screen is off, the system uses a minimum voltage, thus save battery.
if you want long standby time, switch off 3g connection, use wifi instead of data connection if possible and even switch to flight mode if you one. but this will make your SGS2 lot less than a smart phone right?

you also can buy the Samsung 2000mAH extended battery kit for extra 1 day of standby time like me.

2) screen on time

for me, if we can use or utilize the phone as long as we want, that is the best battery life. that means if you can use your phone for about 6 hours screen on time in one day, that is a great battery life.

the longer the screen on time, the more you use your phone.

so make your pick.

based on my experience, checkrom revolution HD 2.0 + siyah kernel 2.2 beta 6 is the rom with the best standby time and screen on time. check my previous post regarding my battery life report with screen shots too.

ok tq so much , im completely newbie to android i was an iOS user so im feeling android is super complicated . i would like to root or flash my sgs 2 any good suggestions or advices ? im totally blank and i don't know their benefits please help

hahaha, read the 1st page first, at least twice. rooting is not that hard. too easy. read it on the first page.

shud be 480x854. dat's the max resolution of our screen.

otherwise 800x480 shud be ok as well.

pls read on first page,
the easiet way is just using cf-root

Guys ask you something. Didn't realized it until my sis told me.

I am using Go Sms and everything is fine. I send her a MMS today and she told me she received a link only instead of picture. Is there a way to change this to receiver see the picture terus like normal?

Thanks all

Anyone wants ICS keyboard?

thanks guys for the feedback. btw i just found new problem, in my Contact, all list are in order, no duplicate entries, but when I try to type the receiver in SMS Recipient, i saw many duplicate entries. How remove those thing?

i think that was your contact details from simcard and google account shown at the same time.

i don't really understand after rooting will improve anything ? since sgs 2 already have 16gb internal i don't need to install on external memory card and which software is best for rooting ?

hi sifus as i googled s2 I9100 provides better performance but overheat easily. so in the other way of s2 I9100G less heat but poorer performance. can know how bad is I9100 overheat issue ?

Hooked on TinyTowers now. Damn

Rooting will give you Administrator privilages, meaning you can further modify or install softwares that sometimes can't be installed without it.

"Rooting" comes from the term "to become a root user", which is the highest user level for a Unix based operating system.

Beware, since by being a root admin you are now an all powerful admin, you can mistakenly delete some important files that needs by the phoneI was quite surprised with it the first time I bought the phone, but after a while it's not really of an issue. It's more of warm than hot and only happens when you are using processor intensive app for a long time

1st page has everything you need

its so hot that can cook ur eggs when its inside ur pocket.


seriously, u feel hot cz u hold it in naked stage. if u put casing on it, then u can barely feel it. moreover it will heat up only when u do some hardcore browsing/gaming. i can read light novel+listen to poweramp for 3 hours without any heat felt.

hold your horses mate. rooting is like jailbreaking. we need to root the android device to ensure that we can have all access to the system file. same as your pc, you need admin access in order to install or remove any software that you like or dislike.

after rooting, then you can install a custom rom to your device. as i said earlier, custom rom have been tweaked to improve what is not good enough from the stock rom...

any good Tegra 2 games which can be played after having Chainfire installed on i9100 non G version?

people complain about the heat because it's so slim you can feel it. honestly I think its a no issue. Even if it heat up, up to 50c the phone can still withstand it. My phone never hang or shutdown even under that temperature. Plus it does not heat up for no reason.

if you have issue like hang or reboot when reach 50c, that means your hardware got problem. mine is working fine. remember, this is electronic parts that work at high speed by sending those electrical signal thru its component. so heat is one of its side product.
