they got 2 major updates. from eclair > froyo > gingerbread. let's hope that we will get 1 more update

Ya i think ICS update will be the swan song for S2.

do i need to reset the phone to factory settings after update to ICS? i noticed a lot of bugs and app crashes.

mine is I1900G version.

What issue with the RAM? Just because it shows 600/700MB? If the phone is smooth and fast, even if it shows only 300MB, won't you upgrade? As you said, depend on user usage, and for G/non-G, it's definitely a step up in terms of usage.. show me 1000MB also useless if phone occasionally hangs..

edit: also, the total ram can change depends on the ROM/kernel you flashed..

Looks like I'm parting with my s2... sad... its been a fantastic phone.

jkay mod got a bug one.
so annoying,

out of the blue, the clock will stop moving,
not the whole system clock, just the status bar clock.
it will just freeze at certain time and wont move.

time in other apps are fine though.
example the clock hang at 2.15pm in status bar,
but the real time is 3pm now, if receive sms, sms time stamp will state 3pm. lock screen clock also 3pm. every clock works fine,
just the status bar clock freeze.

need to go settings>time, set the time again only the status bar clock become normal. so far been using for 3 days, happen twice yesterday.

Wow, the "MORE RAM FREE BETTERER!" issue. I thought only the PC world suffers from this shiat.

Truth be known, like madlocke said, RAM IS MEANT TO BE USED. Why? It's faster than flash storage (or the humble HDD in the PC world).

So everything in RAM is FASTERER. If it's not in RAM, than it's prolly cached in flash (or HDD) and moving slower then a snail on a hot day.

Although having ZERO free RAM is an issue, having it USED OPTIMALLY is what you ACTUALLY WANT.

So, having 300 of 1GB RAM free and the rest optimally used is ALWAYS better than having 800 of 1GB RAM free and having everything cached in flash. The former will be smoother and faster.

Of course, having 2GB RAM to begin with IS BETTERER, but we can't have it all, can we now.

it's all at first page...

One who does not bother to read the front page should not be helped.

i know but the second step .. the zip in the internal, press recovery mode and the system will zip ? or i need to zip it out first ? ..

Hi , im abit unclear about the first post.
Is the link provided works for the non-G version as well?

u need to unzip all the files first

non g is the most easiest to root..just use CF-Root..

root.zip unzip it in the recovery mode .. how ?

unzip the files to ur desktop first.

Thanks for reply, kazama82
But im more of looking forward to the official version >.<

You guys don't understand.
People do care about the RAM issue.
Many people buy the phone because of 1GB RAM (one of the reason).
Now they feel cheated with only 687RAM.
Also, it is not fair.
People will ask: Why non-g only reduced RAM a little?
Why GNexus with nearly same chipset can 1GB?
This is like a president do not respond some problem and citizens go sabotage.
Some people really need the multitasking function.
Do you think 150MB++ of space is enough?
Sometimes I also feel quite frustrated about this. That 687MB sure will hurt people, in terms of physiology.

In overall, only a clear and official explanation solves this problem.
Now Samsung is too quiet towards every problems.
