Thanks to your previous comment, I bought sandisk.
Hope no 'corrupted for no reason' prob

actually, i acknowledge the hot issue. but its not that serious.
even at the hottest, its just very warm.
i find it very uncomfortable to hold also, when i play asphalt 6.
especially the camera area.

but just underclock to 1GHz, the heat significantly reduce.
i dont have a thermo camera to give you exact figures,
but its reach to a level where i find comfortable.

if you're rooted, download rom toolbox, use the cpu slider to set it to 1GHz.
trust me you'll feel the difference in temperature.

been using my phone at 1GHz all this while.
no drop in performance. happy with it :-)

*however, the "heating" issue only during gaming, normal usage wont get that hot. if yours hot till "hands get burn", then maybe your unit really got problem

edit: oh sorry, after reading back several post, i think that was a sarcastic comment to a annoying user. opps.

i havent tried chrome on phone.
reverted back to GB too soon. should've tried it before reverted.

but i have it on my tab 10.1(with Kang ICS), chrome totally lose to stock ics browser on tab. in terms of scrolling smoothness, flash support, style, and wasted screen estate. (the tabs bar on top of screen is too thick), other than that the overall UI is the same

not sure why its so overated.
guess chrome makes more sense on a phone than on a tablet.

wow! i'm halfway watching this video, chrome on phone is awesome! the UI is so much better than stock ICS browser!

this is the app review on chrome, check it out, the animations are cool

@ antoo, on tablet, the UI of chrome is 95% same with stock ICS browser, but its laggy, flashless, and doesn load some page well (orientation and arrangement get mess up), totally no reason to use chrome on tablet. but the UI on phone is just impressive!

serious problem here.

my friend's phone softkey is spoil. the option/menu softkey, the touch button on the left of the home button.

his contact is all saved to his phone, not google.
he cant get his contact out and ask me for help.

the easiest would be google contact sync,
but since that "menu" softkey is not working, there is no way to change the settings in contact to sync with google contacts.

i'm totally out of ideas how to solve this.
is there any app that can export all contacts out?

MEGA FACEPALM!!!
why didnt i thought of that?

i totally forgot about the existance of kies.
THANKS!!!

exactly! duno why that noob never sync to google.


after using kies to export all contacts, there is one prob.
each contact has seperate vcf file. means it generate 200+ vcf files.
big prob cause google contact website only can upload one by one.

so i google and found a solution wana share.

1. copy all vcf file into folder and rename to "contacts", then move folder to C:\
2. press window + R
3. type "CMD" then press ok
4. type "cd C:\contacts" then enter
5. type "copy *.vcf all.vcf" then enter

tada, you will have a file called "all.vcf"
upload this to google contact and all contacts will be saved.

very good tips for new android users.
TS why not put this in front page, seems useful

Haiya, normal la for g version.

Mine non g never hang before.
That's why I rather buy 2nd hand non g than new g version.

Just bought a non g used set for my gf. She is so happy with it:-)
If I buy her g version, I can't sleep well cos she will bug me all the time why her phone hang.

any G version users with USB on the go cable?
is it working?

i plug mine to my aunt's phone, s2 G version, and the pendrive no responce at all. the led on the pendrive did not shine and phone does not detect it.

i thought my cable spoil. but tested on my non g s2 is working.
weird prob.

end up using wifi direct to transfer the big video file.
issit her phone defective or G version dont have USB on the go feature?

of cos wifi direct is faster.

but the situation is like this.
aunt recorder a big video, 200+MB,
i want to transfer that video to my tab10.1 for my grandma to see.
old people cant see at small screen. lol...

my tab dun have fully working wifi direct since its running kang ics.
so need to depend on usb

Why check rom always relate to siyah?
If I just want to have check rom without siyah or the kitchen thing cannot?

Anyway, check rom also deem to be hosting malware by Google. Always get warning, cant enter their website.
Happen just when I plan to try check rom. Sigh....

hi all,

i just flash litening rom v 2.5 yesterday.
first time using this rom, its really awesome.
it has tw framework, and i can use the apex launcher.
looks really stylish, good looks while retaining tw goodness.

but the battery seems quite bad.
maybe it has somethint to do with the kernal.

the default kernal is
3.0.15 siyah v3.0b7 + gm@gm-mint

there is an app inside this rom called lrtoolbox.
there is an option to download the lpq kernal.

issit advisable to download it?
i have no idea how the kernal will affect the overall performance and battery life.

from what i remember, lpq is the first official ics.
how is it different from siyah?

i think my post too long. lets shorten it.

siyah vs lpq kernal.
who better? why?


rom, can feel the difference visually,
but kernal how to feel?

may i know what kind of tweaks? are they missing features that i dont know of?
first time using siyah :-)

wah, so weird name, hard to pronounce. lol...

anyway, have a look at my screen shot.
the battery drop so fast. about 1 hour drop to 70% already.

normal or not for a ics rom?


Attached thumbnail(s)

my phone is charging since 40 mins ago i think.

but before that, this morning since unpluged from charger, i only customize my launcher,
install some stuff from the lrtoolbox thats all.
play around and explore the rom, suddenly drop 30% in an hour, quite surprizing for me.

let it fully charge again then i observe again and see first.

love this ics rom alot since diodic that i download from samsung app store while in gb is working here.
the tw clock, program monitor widget, status bar brightness control and the usual tw stuff that i like all present.
yeah yeah^^

Just found out something new about Android.
Pull down the notification bar,

If you long press any toggle button, it will directly bring you to its settings.

Omg....after so long, now only I notice this. Share this to my friends, they also surprise about thi feature.

I'm surprised as well. Din know about this after playing with my phone so long.
Today my noob gf ask why I put a shortcut to wifi settings at my home screen.
Then she told me can long press to go directly to settings.

She say she simply press and found out, laugh me say I dumb.
Feel so shame. Hahaha...

ah!!!

just notice a problem about litening rom 2.5

just when i thought it was perfect.
the camera has a stupid LOUD BEEP when it focus.

how to get rid of this?
in GB, i just change system volume to minimum to settle this.
but this method not working on ICS.

all previous tips on silencing camera, works on ics or not?
something like this below works or not? any one tried?

1. Create a file called “local.prop” in /data/ if it doesn’t exist. Example: “/data/local.prop”
2. Open the file “/data/local.prop”
3. add the line to the file:
ro.camera.sound.forced=0
4. Reboot and all sound in the camera app is completely silent.
5. To recover the sound, you can either delete the local.prop file or change the code to:
ro.camera.sound.forced=1

you're on stock ics?
its buggy, especially the official one.

i dont think google phone is a good idea.
look at nexus one, nexus s, and galaxy nexus.

lausy hardware compare to phones of the same generation.
galaxy nexus is actually weaker than sgs2.
and nexus phone has a trend of using lausy camera. look at g nexus now, no value already,
drop price so fast. big heavy and bad battery.
