the classes affect your write speed which is when your transfer files from your computer to your phone. so your choice, you prefer it transfer files at 10 or at 4/6 MBps

Hi all, planned to buy this phone next month, but i went to few retailers and most of the phone version available is G version, they did tried to explain to me the differences between G and non-G version but still i don get it, can any sifu here clarify for me?
And also, is there any chances that price will drop after s3 launched? the current price retailers offer me ranging from rm1500-1600, can anyone advise me?

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2102475 this guy selling new non g version.In the differences between this two version you can refer to this web http://ideas--to--share.blogspot.com/2012/...-galaxy-s2.html

Doubt you'll find new SME non G sets around, if you want it's AP or 2nd hand. Personally I got mine in Nov, searched high and low for new SME non G, takda. So mine oso 2nd hand. Now is May..so yeah.

Difference is they use different SoC (CPU+GPU).

Non G is the first version launched by Samsung. Has Samsung's SoC inside called Exynos. Great performance, and stuff like that. Remember also that this is the first version, so most developers bought it when it was a hit. And developed stuff for it.

Apparently ppl did complain about overheating and "low battery life". More probably due to shortage of Exynos, but think Samsung said to address issues above. Regardless, they came out with 2nd version, uses a different SoC. Clocked at same speed, but consensus is GPU is inferior.
Also, since it's not the first version launched where developers picked it up, less development for this phone. Some ppl complain about hang issues/sd card issues, but I'm personally not sure, and most ppl here will tell you it's solved via rooting and installing custom ROMs.

Erm as in I bought mine 2nd hand, but currently not particularly selling yet.

Actually, considering s3 is around the corner, I'm sure there'll be ppl selling it in garage sales. Look around there, might come across a set or two

yeah i have been looking around but those people are selling in other state so i might keep on waiting and waiting until i get myself a s2

I'm still using CheckROM V6, because need full function... cry
Latest Siyah can be use on GB ROM?

no kenot, serious dun even try later u hardbrick i dunno
wait la, jkay say he will release his mod by this month, so checkrom ics will release by this month too

Kenot. Any siyah with v 3.x is ics punya

Thanks bro, so I will download the Siyah v2.99 to use first...
Hopefully the CheckROM ICS will be arrive soon.

For G users:

Good news on the way...

"It might be possible that i'll get wifi and camera working today.
Then it's in a very usable state, except for tvout and fmradio, but without the new bootloader useless. :-) "

I was also like you... very religiously at CRRv6. In fact, still have it backed up on my device..

Have been running Wanamlite V11.5 and Siyah3.2 for about 5 days now.... looks like I'll be more than happy to switch.

What is it in CRRv6 that is missing in Wanam?

well... I'm not really missing Jkay after all.. I thought I would... but looks like ICS has grown into me... the things that I like:

1. Screen seems more vivid to me... I'm not sure if it's just me, but the overall look of the screen, homepage, and pictures look a tad brighter and vivid.

2. transitions are smoother and definitely fluid. Not that GB was shabby... but this just feels a tad smoother.

3. Gotta love that recent apps and swipe away notifications function. Very sleek.

4. Starting to really like Chrome Beta. I was so STUCK with the GB browser and would be caught dead using another browser... but chrome is really getting smooth now.. and the font re-sizing and readability is way better than that in the stock browser..

5. I know quadrant has been spat at many times here and there.. but just gave it a quick run... numbers shot up extensively... from an average 3600++ went up to an average of 4100++

CRR was fantabulous.. but looks like it's just a logical step to move on to ICS...

2 cents

Android os bug.it drains battery very very quickly.

i repeat, check see got wakelocks or not

Chrome is insane =p

Ok that's overstating it, but I really like Chrome. Especially ability to sync across platforms. I only use Chrome as browser now. All the searches and what nots I've typed syncs (I rarely memorize web pages, and I don't browse thru xda just to get where I want, so I google keywords), can even see previous sessions open. So I pick up my browsing right where I left off. Sometimes when I get lazy, I stop browsing on the desktop and move to my phone with my bed. Continues browsing seamlessly

And would proly try Wana and what nots once off this days. I know benchmark isn't much, but moving from CR to AOSP has decreased my points

True.

SOmetimes, the seamless syncing will be enough to buy people over. I too enjoy that very much and not needing to update my bookmarks on each device because they sync seamlessly when I update it on just 1 device.

I like the card tabs though.. really reminds me of webOS...

Wanam is ok. Very simple and doesn't really add much. If you like something very close to stock experience, then Wanam is the way to go. Very TW

Ah abit addicted to the whole stock google experience for now

Does it remove alot of samsung bloatware? I know I can do that myself, but do prefer when ROMs remove it, helps with my laziness

yes. removed completely. there is a zip file to reinstall them if you wish. by default it's removed... hmm... i thought most of the ICS custom roms did that?

Yeah generally, just wanted to confirm

iirc lite-ning does reduce bloatware, but still remains quite alot of it compared to other roms

Added on May 13, 2012, 10:25 pmAnyone updated to latest Hydrogenics?

Newest erm, highlights are
1. Sense style multitask window
2. Alot of tweaks added, if you've used fluxi, it's basically a rip of that Oh and this is detailed to the point that it has LMK settings (the detailed one), VM settings and what nots. Among the stuff that thunderbolt! tweaks. Pretty neat. No idea how to play with them though Doesn't have the extensive ondemand governor tweaks fluxi has though. Now it would great if pika could write-up a tutorial on what these values do, if that's even possible

Erm, for those geeks who are interested anyways. If you want sense multitask, guess you could be excited about that too
