Loving the redpill's significantly lengthy battery life, but the bugginess of the battery stats is annoying as f*** :|

Hopefully got a companion core like tegra 3 to do normal stuff, or else battery drain like hell not a fan of quads, until battery optimization or technology improves, i will still be sticking with dual core

the processor if not mistaken saying that got exynos 5250 ???
what so special on the exynos 5250 ???
for the GPU, must change it !!!
and the battery mAh as high as possible, at least 2k @@

Just got mine... being holding off coz it's quite exp from my POV but now got promo fast fast beli lol...


aside from this. may I know any G users having problem playing MC3 from samsung free apps promo?

It makes virtually no difference now. They both can perform up to the same level and both are just as fast as each other. Infact, the G version can turn on much faster and wakeup from sleep much faster.

The only drawbacks are some people find that their phone crashes alot when there is a MicroSD card in it. The other bugs can be fixed with a custom ROM. I have both the G and the non-G. I can tell you with 100% certainty that it makes zero difference to most people. Both can game just as well. If you look at benchmarks, you would notice that the non-g is slightly higher, but benchmarks never tell the whole story. They are virtually the same phone.

And like I said, I can tell you this because I have both in my house. Many people are biased because they have only used either the G only or the non-G only.

CM9 UNOFFICIAL BUILD
http://developer.clockworkmod.com/download...xys2-signed.zip
- fixed hw codecs (videos smooth as butter)

I also can tell you the difference because I bought 2 sets SME G version, and one set non-G.
I sold my G version leaving one left, after 2 months of usage. Why?
Because first of all you tube desktop lags, even 720p, unless you download Tube Mate and stream you tube videos, then its fine. There are no bugs for me, but the camera sometimes hang and becomes so hot, and then must restart the phone. That is not the end of the story, after upgrading to 2.3.6 the hanging issue becomes worse and worse, and more frequently. Then I decided its' time to let go, and let it be. Simple things like going to settings will hang sometimes, it just makes no sense that the S2 can hang, even without multitasking. But all this issue I stated above its because of cracked apps, I am not joking,its the truth, so you can buy G version, but don't install cracked apps.
Other than that, not much different. And if you are very particular, the G version lags slightly when scrolling down the music list and contact. But the end of the day, if I were you, I would wait for S3 coming soon.

So, are you on CM9 or Foxhound now?

Conclusion is, it isnt that g version is problematic, is end user go install pirated apps that make the phone like this. So, its users like u who shud be blamed for the hang and not the phone itself

Once again...the G version is not that bad. We are getting development of custom kernels and roms these a days too.

If you would say 'get a non g or don't get a S2 at all' Its ridiculous. They are both still S2's and are loved by millions. I own a G version and I know how to use maximize it to the best. Just dont install cracked software and you will be fine.

Yeah, but I'll buy the apps soon. First must purchased debit card.

actually i support the idea of
'get a non g or don't get a S2 at all'

reason is that i really have no confidence in the g version.
mine is non g, have *ahem some crack games on it. but never hang before (seriously, NEVER). worst case is sometimes app force close, or it restart itself during heavy usage multitasking (very very very rarely).

but my friends g version, non rooted and no crack apps. all of a sudden under normal use also will hang. hang as in the whole phone stop responding. camera also always hang. need remove battery or long press power button kind of hang. he often complains in his fb. for a android noob like him, make him no confident in android only.

non g uses the very smooth and powerful exynos.
thats the difference that sets it apart.

for new users, if you are spending close to RM2k, recomend you get the galaxy note.
also use exynos. bigger amoled. :-)

Does ur unit ever face any camera hang issue on stock rom? Or can it be fixed by custom rom?

Does he put an external sdcard? If yes, tell him pull it out, and see if still hang or not.

One thing that bugs me most about g version is camera hang, why on earth hasnt samsung issue a proper fix yet?

My advice is if u dont really mind AP, then go get non g version. If u insist ori, then try scout for non g. If cant find, then go for g.

I can't agree with you more, it's non-G or no S2.
The Exynos is the best CPU in the world, quoted by some sources, if I am not mistaken by GSM arena.

Added on March 3, 2012, 11:46 amJust want to add something the G version did not have a grand opening, Samsung just let it sip into the market trying to make the customers believe that they have the non-G version. Back 2 months ago, people like me never turn the box around and check to see whether is G or non-G. After all nobody knows G exists, I was one of the first people who bought the G, even before the news had leaked out for the specs of the G. Then only I realised that I was cheated by Samsung.

You dont need a grand opening to introduce a variant of an s2. They just changed the processor and gpu, shape and body still the same, no need for grand opening

hehe.. don't be like that

So, how is Siyah?

Siyah feel the same. Not much changes. U can try if you want. Its stable no issue after some minor initial bugs.

lol as you like la non g or no s2 at all. Its a phone, and it works perfectly as a phone and more for me. Just hope people would stop spreading non true facts about the phone.

Remove your crack apps, clear your multitasking and you will get a butter smooth phone.

I don't remember the last time my G lag'd or hanged at all.

What about battery?
