yea lor....i also damn disappointed......s2 very defective wan, damn stupid lor, even our notebook with dual core or quad core also wont hot when playing games, but this stupiak phone damn hot till my hands get burned, iphone better wei, the processor is the best, wont hot wan, you kena tipu ad........

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.

Finally able to download chrome from play store, and this TOTALLY beats stock browser. Good and smooth animations, good interface and good loading speeds. Suggest everyone on ICS to try it out thumbup.gif

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.

Haven't flash ics on my tab. But on the phone, chrome rulez. The loading speed and ui smoothness is just to great.

wow! i'm halfway watching this video, chrome on phone is awesome! the UI is so much better than stock ICS browser!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWMXJqOSP6Y
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?

Android users should totally use google contact sync. I mean why not?
You can sync your contact across multiple phones and no more worries of losing contacts when you lose your phone/brick your phone.  thumbup.gif
*
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

Hi Guys, just wanna ask. How many times have your S2 hang?

I recently bought a used set and its still within warranty.
The first thing I do when I bought it is to factory reset it.

So now I'm running everything on stock.
Stock rom, stock widget and I've only downloaded a few apps from Google Play.

But in just 5 days, my S2 hang twice. The first time it hangs is when I accidently

pressed the Home Button just when I hang up a call.

The second time is this morning, when I tried to turn on the phone it just load until

the lock screen and hangs there.
*
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.

Guys

I'm CR V6 +Siyah v2.13 and I'm always having Wake Problem, ie after you left the phone for quite sometime and you touch the screen to unlock, it will remain as it is, ie black screen until you press the power button to turn off/on again.

Any Idea, why does this happens? biggrin.gif

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....Attached Image

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?

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.

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

It's very disappointing with the ICS updates. The GB was so much better.

The only reason I'm still on ICS now is because I want to get use to it as much as possible until it reaches stable build.

I love the phone, but the next time I'm going to get a Google Phone instead. no more 3rd party bullshit.

EDIT: Does anybody know how to clear Bluetooth pairings? I have one stuck. I think it's a bug. I cleared Bluetooth data using Titanium backup but it's still there.
*
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.
