Well, I have been running it at 100MHz since I moved to CheckROM and Siyah Kernel....I guess I must control my UVing.....

Am I the only one here who uses Voltage Control and lowers the GPU low power state to minimum everything? I found a flaw in the program, there is no reset button after accidentally applying settings. Once apply changes is clicked, it stays that way...
*
You can just delete the apply at boot and reboot. Then you will have everything back to normal. Or save a profile before you change anything and load it back when you want to.

I came to the conclusion that ondemand and ondemandx is not liking single core (lagging in app drawer). Conservative single core seems to be working very well. Will carry out more testing.

What is the best web browser for s2 ??

Opera or Dolphin HD ?

Some like opera, some like dolphin (me), some like stock browser, etc. So better try out and decide yourself.

Dolphin will kinda lag when browsing heavy websites i.e Phone Dog.
Opera is just fine  biggrin.gif

BTW, the default browser scrolling is very smooth, but when you swipe down or up there's a delay, if you know what I'm saying.  biggrin.gif

Really, for me dolphin loads pages faster than opera. Opera also takes up more memory.

How about SmartassV2 ? Does it work well with single core ?
*
Smartassv2, lulzactive and conservative works very well with single core. In terms of batt saving, Conservative > SmartassV2 > lulzactive. In terms of smoothness, its either smartassV2 or lulzactive.

I use the default one at home, because the connection is fast. But when I am out, I use Opera because the pages are just 20% their original size, so browsing is lightning fast!!!

You mean opera mini?

Both opera's do the same thing. But I use opera mobile, haven't tried opera mini because some wifi hotspots don't allow opera mini to connect when I was using my N97. I had to use opera mobile then. So now also I use opera mobile...
*
I am also used to opera mobile as it was the best browser for windows mobile. But since moving to Android, I find dolphin to be the faster choice in terms of loading page. So I have left opera.

Since running in single core already can save battery, I think I'll use SmartassV2.

Um and, what does it mean by "Set in boot"option ?
Does it mean that everytime the device boot it'll load that profile ?
*
Yes it means whatever you select will be set when you restart. I am not sure about the battery saving. Basically I don't see any drastic difference. You have to try for yourself.

Yes. its running on 2.3.6 - unrooted. everything untouched. Only downloading few apps.

Does the non-G version facing this problem as well?
*
So far have not heard any non G user complain about camera FC or similar issue. All complain seem to come from G version. Samsung need to improve on G version rom cos both modal uses same camera so driver should be the same. Its rom or kernel problem.

Many update through kies that do not wipe. For those that bought new set with latest rom do not have these problem. Only those that update later through kies that have it. It seems not wiping left something behind that conflicts with the new rom,

and i did not know what on earth is root, kernal and so many other things that come out on this thread. but slowly picking up things. little by little

You don't have to know those things yet. Take your time. The device works very well as it is without need to root, change roms or kernel. Look for apps in android market to make the best of our device.

I'm curious on what operations or which apps do actually need the 2nd core to work well. After turning off the 2nd core for about a day, testing games, apps and web browsing, I find no difference at all from turning dynamic hot plug on.
*
Most app and majority of games dun need 2 cores. Everything i have on my SGS2 now runs smoothly on my single core 1ghz HD2 before apart from some games. I believe 2 cores only come in useful when doing heavy multitasking or running games with high requirements. In fact once we get ICS which should maximize the use of our GPU, the load on the CPU should be even less.

the core can be turned off? so by default, this phone running in single core or dual core?

Default the kernel will auto manage the cores, when heavy cpu load 2 cores, when low load single core.

Thanks! just got SGS2 few days back, and right now learning the basic terms before rooted/flashed the firmware.
From my understanding, flashing ROM = re-installing OS, correct?
Can I flashing my ROM without flashing the kernel? Is by flashing the ROM, I'll be considered as ROOT-USER ?
*
G or non G. Be careful of your version before flashing anything.

Yes, flashing rom is similar to reinstalling OS but different version. Most if not all rom comes with their preferred kernel. Custom ROM will root your device official rom will not root.

thanks droid13579. i read between the non g and g version, they say non g better? why is that so? apparently the g version will lag? and that chipset is the same as motorola razr right? so i wanna know will it have a difference in performance in terms of speed and smoothness since g version is capped at 1mhz? =/ sorry ya haha.
*
There is no cap on G version speed. It is still 1.2 ghz (otherwise samsung will be sued for false advertising tongue.gif ) Its just that it is set to run more at 1ghz but still utilizes 1.2 ghz at high load.

A user reported that factory reset solve it for him. Updating through kies which is no wipe seems to have left something behind causing error in USB connection to PC.
