Hi All

I interested to get this Samsung Galaxy S II.
I am currently using Nokia E72, never use touch screen before, I would like to know is the below features/functions available if I buy the Samsung Galaxy S II?

(1) While texting (sms) a paragraph, can i select (Highlight) a portion of Text I typed ?
Example:
Hello, how are you doing? I'm going to London this weekend.
From the above example, can I select to highlight the Red Bold words only ?

(2) In my Nokia E72 qwerty keyboard, I usually press & hold "CTRL" + "C" to copy the words.
Can I do this in Samsung Galaxy S II ? If cannot, how to do this in a shortest way to Copy the selected Words ?

(3) My existing Nokia E72, I press & hold the Space button, the LED Flash will lighted & act as a Torch Light when I'm in the dark.
Can Samsung Galaxy S II do the same using its LED Flash ?

Appreciate if someone can help find out.
Thanks in advance.

1. you can select, copy and paste texts that you are typing... I don't think however you can do that for texts like i.e. in the browser or other documents.

2. no need for buttons. touch the text, options will appear and you should be able to follow the instructions.

3. the LED of course can be used as a flashlight

anomaly is a game where you try to cross hurdles of ala Tower Defense with tanks and other vehicles...

that's it.

Of course there will be different tanks and missions

Hi guys...

decided to try wanamlite since many have said it's quite stable... flashed it with siyah 3.1.2. as well did the whole factory reset and everything and flashed wanamlite 11.3

have been having random freezes and battery drains... not consistent though....

anyone experiencing the same thing?

everything else seems to be working fine...

Guys,

I just flashed wanamlite... and the browser does seem to be a tad snappier...

however... I feel like the text rewrapping behaves differently... When i choose to autofit the pages, the text will align to how it would be viewed if it were zoomed close EVEN IF we zoom out to view the full page. when i deselect the autofit option, the text refits back normally to full page but when we double tap to zoom in, it doesn't rewrap properly(obviously)...

I just don't really like how it looks when it doesn't unwrap when i zoom out. Anyone having the same thing?

Trying Google chrome now... seems to be quite good and fast in loading pages... still a bit buggy though... I guess I'll stick to chrome for the moment

Hmm... flashed wanamlite 11.2, on siyah 3.1.2. left it charging last night, woke up, and phone was off.... either off or unresponsive that I had to long press the power button to reboot it...

Will leave it around for one more day and see if this pattern is consistent.. besides that, ICS is actually starting to catch on with me...

No other real bugs besides the whole browser text rewrap that really irks me

Guys

Just flashed the CheckROM v6 after having problems on ICS Based ROMs

Problem now is that, I can restore contacts/messages from TB, its giving acore.process error and not restoring. I really need the sms back. Hope someone can help
*
I've learned it the hard way... but the best way to save contacts is to EXPORT it to the SD card or extcard... TB sometimes can't restore it...

for SMS, it should save if you've saved your messaging app. Try restarting or reinstalling TB. Sometimes that works for me.

Any news on Checkrom ICS?
Which I the most stable vers of ICS now?

Buzy on new house, been away for a while..

Checkrom ICS is a no show now... Leomar and the devs have promised they are anxious for a v7 but NOT any recent times because of JKay and other stability issues...

I'm on Wanamlite. Very stable for 3 days now... ONLY issue I've gotten mixed consistency is charging overnight tends to reboot my device

Just a short review...

Was on other roms for a short while i.e. hydrogen and Wanamlite11.3 and tried 11.2 due to stability issues in 11.3, and Siyah3.1.2, 3.1.2b, 3.1.1... for about 2-3 weeks

Positives:
The overall feel of ICS i.e. in the homescreens, transitions to app drawers and stuff like that really is snappier and smooth. There is really no complains about how smooth in transitions and in opening and closing applications, home button response and stuff like that.. I even like the notifications swipe off to close and the recently open apps when we long press the home button. These are small but very good additions to ICS. Overall, I give a thumbs up for ICS cause it really did improve the smoothness and liquidity of the transitions and feel of the UI in general.

Negatives and why I had to flash back to CRRV6:
Every time i leave it overnight, it either turns it off, or reboots when charged overnight. This is consistent for about a week shy for 1 day it didn't do that.

I really dislike the ICS browser compared to the GB one. The text reflow concept in ICS (it reflows it to the already zoomed alignment even when viewing in full page... for a lot of websites, it seemed to be ok.. but some websites that i visit i.e. The Star, maemo.org, and even TENNIS.com look quite horrid with a lot of very left aligned text in the full page view) is just horrid and it is not as smooth as the GB browser. I tried Google Chrome... indeed, i feel it loads pages a tad faster but I cannot stand it being a bit jerky and less smooth compared to the default browser. I like the swipe off to remove tabs features and the card stack concept of the tabs in the Chrome browser though... but the choppiness when viewing pages... oh, it just irks me so much cause we've been pampered so much by the ultra smooth scrolling and overall UI of the GB browser...

JKay on CRRV6 is the bomb. just restored it back to good ol' GB after more than 2 weeks of reflashing and flashing all sorts of ICS roms that all forumers said were OK...

*beats mah itchy hands... hehehehe
