Well I've got the G version and I can't wait to get rid of it once S3 is out and I've got enough dough to buy it. Why? Let me tell you why and bear with me its quite long whining. Spend almost 2K on a phone I can say its not wrong for the long whining.

Its all because of only one aspect of the phone but its a major aspect because I use it most of the time when using this phone. Music player. I never installed cracked apps as advised by most user here so the phone should be doing fine but no. Its never fine.

First, it freeze when I put it in my pocket after I played an mp3 player. Regardless whatever player I used. Stock player, winamp, poweramp. Its not normal freeze but you-can't-do-sh*t-unless-you-take-off-the-battery-freeze. It happen every time after the phone been up for quite some times. If restart, the same case won't happen again.

Then there's the skipping of the track problem. When the mp3 player been using for quite some times, the player will randomly skip some tracks. Sometimes the whole playlist. It started with minor skipping within the song then it goes haywire skipping all those track as it pleased. This also happen regardless whatever player I can throw to the phone. I try paused it and go back the track it skipped and played it again, still can play fine then after a while skipping will began again. Its annoying as sh*t.

That's all happen on a stock rom. Then I followed advice from fellow forumer to change to custom rom and flash different kernel and now I'm using superROM v2.0 with superatmos kernel 2.1 (using Lucifer for a while but battery draining double fast so change back to superatmos).

Okay, the freezing problem gone with the wind. But still there's a few freeze or minor hang when using other apps but those doesn't bug me much. But the skipping track problem still persist and it bugs me as a hound from hell. A few other nights when on the way back from work I felt like I want to threw this phone to pieces when the skipping problem still occurred even after I flashing rom and kernel if not for its 1.7K price. If it cost me 200 ringgit this phone would be already been in pieces somewhere at Kastam JB.

So, I thought maybe its microSD because I'm using 32GB class 4. So, I took the 16GB class 10 from my now useless Mi300 and tried it. Got off from work open player and played the files. For quite some time it was doing okay. I felt happy but only those happiness to be shattered into pieces as I almost reach my destination minor skipping within tracks occurred. Then the major super freaking annoying major skipping tracks began. It still happening on class 10 microSD but took a little longer. FYI, this problem never occurred when I'm using my CSL Mi300 and even the now super useless HTC Touch before. Other aspect of S2 works like charm and I love every other thing on the phone just the music player irritates me to the death.

My impression towards Samsung phone degrading. Might even considered now about that S3. Sigh~

Sell your G and get yourself a Non G to see if the problem is fixed?

OoToo early. Have to wait for weekdays where my usage more consistent.

Sorry that you've experienced this for some time. So far from my case, I've never encounter any lagging or skipping track but the max time I used for music listening is around 2hrs++

trying it out now hope there will be no more silent updates

hehe i think g version haven got oc kernel..that score for non oc..
lolz quite high also 7352 haha..

lol, i remember i flash from stock to 2.0 dun have any prob as those ppl mention bug on installed stuff dun appear etc.. btw i think u reply wrong, i teaching the guy then u give a full step on me instead of the guy haha..

+1 i feel insulted when they say this..
now i starting to see the G version start to develop custom kernel and rom maybe because more n more people getting G nowaday..

ur fren on stock where can compare its just like comparing a modded sport car with a stock car..
i tried my friend phone on stock pull down notification bar also got spike..
then i flash with kernel n rom + themes.. end up satisfaction n feeling smooth..

i dont face camera hang issue for long time.. it can be fix by custom rom.. only stock i face it.. but some people stock also dun encounter.. its very low posibility..

haha... i remember my last hang is few day ago.. end up flash to rc rom.. xD

early i dun have this problem..
- -" then recently last week i have simillar prob as u in music playing...skipping track few sec +hang till whole screen black and need hold power to reboot.. i think some apps i installed have crash..
then i flashed to galaxy rc4.1 and try play music over 2hr...smooth enough without those skip or hang.. maybe u should try it out

I think I have to agree with you at the end of the day, I remove all my cracked apps, and no more lag for the G model.. So conclusion is remove cracked apps so it will not lag, or hang, even if it hanged, maybe a few weeks once. Who knows.. for now no more hang..

Kesian..... I can't help but wonder. You know some music player can shake phone to skip track. Did you have that on by accident?
I using ttpod. If its in my pocket n I walk very fast, will cause it to skip track. I on this feature only when driving, when normal I turn it off.

Sorry, what do you mean by skipping tracks?
You mean it jumps from song one to ten?
It's because you select shuffle songs..
Just click on the icon and there will be the icon of shuffling off.
Is that what you mean?

Wow looks like my previous 2 posts has sparked a 'war' between both sides. Sorry guys, not my intention but just wanna gain some knowledge bout my oncoming phone as i never used any android nor samsung nor touchscreen before

From all those posts, only few things that might be a real problem for me later if i'm going to buy a G version. Those who faced problem with music player, after how long the problem will arise? I mean after how songs will the problem will start? I'm not hardcore music kakis, will listen to mp3s for at most 1 hours plus only.

Have you guys experienced it when the keyboard just hangs for quite awhile when you're typing. Happens to me frequently.

For me never hanged before.
But I normally used wifi keyboard, connect my laptop to the S2, that way I can reply text messages very fast, easy and reliable, accurate, and not trouble some..

I mean if you're out and all. You SMS or type it hangs there for quite awhile then it's okay. I'm using swype but I type instead of swiping. Could that be the problem?

G ?

Hi All

Im a newbie here. How can I make my sg2 stays on wifi. My phone will switch back to 3G after awhile on wifi mode. Thanks in adv for reply~~

Nahh, too much hassle for a basically the same phone. I'd rather wait for S3 or maybe even considering iphone 5 even though I never like apple product that much.

Thanks the suggestion man. Will try this rom later.

Nope. I know there's the option in poweramp or playerpro but already untick it. Still skipping. And its not just while I'm walking around. Even I'm standing still waiting for the bus the problem still occurred.

No silly. I know what shuffle is about. I rather felt insulted you think I'm kinda have low intelligence that don't how those simple things work. When in minor skipping, the player will skip maybe 0.5~1 secs in the song which believe me it'll annoyed you to death if it happen a few times in a song. Then there's a major skipping where the player simply skip randomly the next song on the list saying because the it can't handle the audio or some sh*t. But if I manage to pause the play list and goes back to the same song it skip, it still can be played just fine. So, I don't think certain mp3 files I've got is corrupted or something. Tchh~

Guys very quick question...

I've read in many forums on rooting the phone but they ask to use 'superoneclick' after ODIN. But the thing is superoneclick tells me the phone is already rooted, do you want to continue...what is the difference between these two?

Also btw, what is a more stable recommended custom ROM?

did you try to run your mp3 from internal storage rather then micro sd??

newbies here...
i use my S2 occasionally because its frequent to hang when snapping pictures or using GPS...

now i decide flash custom ROM to it...
any suggestion on which ROM i should install?

Y U NO MENTION YOUR PHONE VERSION AND MORE DETAIL??
