Yay new thread laugh.gif

Erm anyone do "high end gaming" on their s2 like gameloft games or dead space etc?

Feels like I've dropped a tad of performance when coming to GB. Ever slightly so less frames. Nenamark seems to agree with me, I generally get a score of about 46-48. On CR6 highest I got was 54 on lulz NEAK, and generally at least above 40.

Could be placebo effect gaming wise, but always felt aosp ROM is heavier than samsung ROM, which could be affecting it.

Maybe cuz AOSP rom now got more fancy effects compare to Samsung GB rom tongue.gif

Lol but animations shouldn't affect the nenamark test gua. Quadrant is decent on voku, but nenamark is just not the same as it was on CR6 tongue.gif

jtag is this canggih manggih way to recover hardbrick devices. Uses some riffbox nonsense. If you youtube it you can see how it's done. Think need to solder the wire to certain part of the phone to do one, then unsolder once done, lol

Wow, jtag is some hardcore stuff right there. Gokhan definitely gonna get lots of negative feedback and lose some users.

I meant aosp was heavier cuz of the effects tongue.gif well, its just 4-5 fps difference, nothing much tongue.gif

Yup, download and use latest rc6.

To be safe, if you're on previous Siyah and want to upgrade to latest one, DO NOT PERFORM ANY WIPE

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 highlight the words you want to by long pressing on the word, there should be two arrows, then you can drag them to where you want
2)Do the same method as 1), then select copy
3)You can download a flashlight app from the play store, its simple, just search flashlight and download the first one then you're good to go

Why Samseng don't want to give us the Msia ICS???

Samsung isnt really into customer service unlike other OEMs like HTC and Sony. That's what i dislike about samsung, it doesnt care about its customers, especially the crappy camera firmware vmad.gif

Yours non g right?
What's wrong with the camera?
Mine working great, takes great pics.

Although the customer service not good, but at least the product is good.
Can't imagine myself using a thick and heavy sensation, or a slow Xperia arc.
Glad I chosen s2 and never regretted.

Camera pink spot issue, unnecessary autofocusing, and choppiness when moving from darker area to bright area.

There are two types of camera modules, one is fujitsu one is sony. Sony module is generally more problem free compare to fujitsu module. These can all be fixed with proper camera firmware. But, Samsung chooses not to give us a proper camera firmware. I've gone to th extent of flashing infuse 4g camera firmware to fix pino spot and choppiness, which i have to sacrifice torchlight

how to check sony or fujitsu?
mine so far so good. the autofocusing during video is not the best implementation, but still better than no autofocus during video.

pink spot issue, i just tried and snap a blank paper in a bright room, stare really closely and long, seems got a mild, very very mild pink dots here and there. not sure if its noise or pink spot issue, but its really negligible for me.

you still have the pink spot issue? how serious is yours?
care to share a sample?
*
If camera firmware beginning is SC, then its fujitsu, if sony is OM something like that if im not mistaken. Mine is fujitsu unit sad.gif i flashed sieg03 firmware to remove pink spot and choppiness. So far ok now, but no flashlight sad.gif

Is battery life on Siyah any good with wifi/data on while idle?
*
Both siyah and neak have really awesome standby battery consumption, but neak is just slightly better than siyah. But overall, i still recommend siyah as it has better screen on time in my opinion and i dont need to pay RM6 just to change the gpu freq unlike neak doh.gif needa pay RM6 to buy full neak configurator, free one nothing at all

Hopefully by the time we have LTE, at least 3G coverage IS available anywhere within Malaysia but all the carriers. Travelling on PLUS without a decent connection speed can be rather boring.  tongue.gif

I dont expect LTE coverage to be that good especially in sarawak. Seriously, why give all the spectrum to unknown companies? Shud just give all to digi/maxis/celcom/umobile, not to some puncak company that no one ever heard abt doh.gif
