Hmm, reminded me of our dear Positron. I wonder where he is now?

He showed up in last thread version.
He talked about NOVA3.

So far to those people update their G variant of S2 to ICS, what kind of issues or problem have they came across? Mind share some of it? smile.gif
*

Seriously, for me currently, none.

Some known issues like:
Battery drain
Wifi
Lag
Apps compactibilities
RAM (only 687MB in total)
Camera (focus)

I agree. Exactly the same opinion for me.

Added on June 4, 2012, 4:26 pmI noticed that ICS's WiFi connection is similar to Windows XP. Will disconnect and connect automatically.
Do you guys face this issue?

for G version, ur phone RAM will become 600mb++ only instead of 800mb++. Think twice if you want to upgrade for G version

687MB. Normal usage of RAM is nearly 500MB++. So there is still 168MB to play with.
In truth, it is enough already (except you like ongoing apps VERY much). smile.gif

depends on users usage. for non-G users, definitely upgrade to ICS coz got no issue regarding the RAM.

I thought RAM for non-g also reduced a bit?

Ok. Waiting for ICS is finished.
Now Samsung should:
1. ICS update (fix, tune and improve)
2. Touchwiz update!! Just like SIII!!!
3. Please don't Jellybean. I know RAM will BOOM with Jellybean. tongue.gif
For both G and non-g.
With these, SII still can stand for more than 3 years more.

Let's pray...

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.

But i do agree with Eiraku (where did u disappear to). Since i bought my phone till now almost 1 year on GB or ICS or custom or stock rom i had never ever went and check on the RAM. I dun even know how much i get on stock rom or Gb compared to what i have now. Cos the device is running so smooth i dun really care let alone let it bother me.

Agree with that. Just go towards your feeling and experience. Don't let the RAM bother you. Sometimes I managed to think like this and I am happy with my phone.

Just call Android to remove RAM manager. tongue.gif

Reminds me of Windows XP users complaining why Windows 7/Vista use so much RAM blah..always trying to close

I always explain RAM issue by using this example. But there is one thing different.
In PC there still shows maximum RAM space. (Like 4GB =3.85GB).
In G version it only shows 687MB. That's all. Nothing else. And it still consume more RAM at startup. This is 2X the PC RAM issue.
Can't figure it out already. Don't want to think anymore. :-[

Unproductive way of venting with zero effectiveness.

If you want to complain, Samsung has a lot of avenues:

Kernel complaints here (as the kernel is the one that limits the RAM):

Come on, you know I am not that serious right? Take it easy.

I felt like your phone is bricked. Can you start the phone?
If there is 3 icons and a line connect to 3 icons (not too sure) then that's it...

My friend d proximity sensor always light up (red) during use, even the phone is not on call. His phone is updated to ICS also.
How do you guys solve this problem before?
Will sending to SC solve the issue?
