QUOTE(kazama82 @ Mar 31 2012, 11:23 AM) but how frequent you remove your battery right?..the downside is very hard to change battery when your battery lifetime short already..need to sent SC just to remove battery..same here, i dont mind no sdcard slot..as long as the storage is 32GB and above should be okay.. thinking to get tab 7.7 now..  Why not wait for quad tablets

QUOTE(Shizuru @ Mar 31 2012, 11:46 AM) That downside part is what I don't like about unremoveable battery phones. I'm also thinking about 7.7 but have to finished the payment for my s2 and PC first. Can't afford so many installments  I think batteries now can last abt 2 yrs, thats pretty much when people switch smartphones agn, so unremovable batteries arent an issue to me QUOTE(jimmz @ Mar 31 2012, 11:46 AM) Ok noted

QUOTE(antt00 @ Mar 31 2012, 11:51 AM) Only main script and screenstate scaling. So the ones that need script manager arent? PS, joining cm9 bandwagon soon  Added on March 31, 2012, 12:01 pmQUOTE(Shizuru @ Mar 31 2012, 11:53 AM) That's why its an issue for me. I use my phone till it dies and usually the battery dies first  Added on March 31, 2012, 11:55 amNoted. Flashing franzy mode this evening  So ur gonna use S2 for quite some time?

QUOTE(antt00 @ Mar 31 2012, 12:03 PM) Yes. Download the CodeworkX version from the first post. Or wait next nightly. Added on March 31, 2012, 12:06 pmI thought u like AOKP? The one in scriptmanager, remount and sqlite optimize comes with main script. So they are working. I do like AOKP, but too lazy to wait for paradoxx to fix video recording, plus weekday no time flash, so temporarily will just use CM9 first  Download from here izit? http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=nigh...device=galaxys2 the latest oneI think i downloaded the wrong one  i guess i'll go redownload codeworkx version QUOTE(Shizuru @ Mar 31 2012, 12:06 PM) Yupe, till it dies on me  not in my nature and budget to change a still working phone  I think S2 screen might die quickly, heard that AMOLEDs dont have a particularly long life This post has been edited by TheLaptopDudeGuy: Mar 31 2012, 12:16 PM

QUOTE(Shizuru @ Mar 31 2012, 12:17 PM) Have to start saving early then. Huhu.. just hope there are still reasonable screen size phone by the time I changed since the new ones have the tendency to go bigger  In the future our phones will be all tablet size  4.3 inch is the sweet spot already, dont get why still insist on bigger QUOTE(ZRong223 @ Mar 31 2012, 12:23 PM) What? Screen has its own lifespan? Can you explain more? Some screens have a longer life than other screens, unfortunately AMOLED screens degrade faster than other screens if im not mistaken

QUOTE(Are_keem @ Mar 31 2012, 12:40 PM) Yeah, 4.3 inch already hard to slip in the pocket. In future handphone might get bigger like the very first time handphone was introduced  Is it true? Thinking of keeping this phone for another 2-3 years like my old trusty Nokia N79. Even after 3 years still working flawlessly  There's a fine line between perfect and too big, and manufacturers are crossing the line already Just check my wikipedia link above, wikipedia never lies. Seems like lifespan for phones getting shorter and shorter

QUOTE(nicregi @ Mar 31 2012, 12:44 PM) What you say about the size is true lo cos nowadays, bigger is better  FYI - Wikipedia is great but sometime the facts can be debateable because it is editable by public  Even though wikipedia can be edited by public, but to me its still my best bet to find more info about stuff OLED uses organic materials (wuh?  ) which apparently degrade faster than standard LCD Another reason why im an IPS fan This post has been edited by TheLaptopDudeGuy: Mar 31 2012, 12:46 PM

QUOTE(nicregi @ Mar 31 2012, 12:48 PM) Same la...but if those doing course work, wikipedia must not use if not sure kena kau kau one  Just dont direct copy paste then fine QUOTE(bryant601 @ Mar 31 2012, 12:50 PM) IMO, that how manufacturer earns the money.. if a lifespan of a product is long, consumer wont kept spending and buying stuff, and nowadays youngsters love "new" stuffs, everything must be new, phone must be newer than friend's, car must be better and so on.. +1 another way is to stop releasing updates for it, like samsung, i dont see why galaxy s cant get ICS even though its perfectly capable of doing so. At least HTC is giving ICS updates to incredible s,desire hd etc
