[Galaxy S II General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
yes. but not as smooth as 60fps. i think more about 30 fps. it was playable.

i also tried killer instect. that game wasnt playable at all on nexus S. when the phone was over clocked to 1.5, it was playable but with laggy. on the Galaxy S2 the lag way less than than the over clocked 1.5. which is amazing really.

however. i dont think the phone has the power to play Dream cast emulators tho.

now when it comes to the playstation emulator. was super smooth and super nice. some games the sound wasnt very synced. so i put the option in the video settings to skip frames to the max " 10 " and it played so smooth i felt like i am holding a PSP with me lol "

nice device really.
[Galaxy S II General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
as i agree, the screen is more closer to the edges on the iphone.

like i said, as hardware design. the galaxy S2 isnt really a loooker. its no Arc for example or Nexus S. its a blocky phone that has 4 years old look back. and honestly it look cheap.

under the hood. its a beast. i honestly think people should cover the phone. specially in the back. its ugly
[Galaxy S II General] OHDUSER:
HEY

dont forget you had a non retail unit

maybe a retail unit , which also has 1.2ghz processor, could run 60 FPS n64 emulator

:D
[Galaxy S II General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
every thing is possible. i am just posting my feedback on what i had in my hand. and specs wise. i am impressed. this is hands down the :

- fastest android phone i ever used " including Atrix "

- Best Screen for an android device " including Atrix/Nexus S " but not the iphone screen " wont go on Vs here between the 2 screens as its personal taste and i like the iphone 4 screen more "

- Gaming heaven for all emulator fans. i still remember trying to play N64 " Mario 64 " on my iphone 4 and the that **** couldnt run @ 10 fps even though its almost the same GPU/CPU as Nexus S but what gives. hell they were missing buttons too " and couldnt change that "

all in all. this is one great device.

however. i think it needs voodoo color fix. as the screen had yellowish white. like someone pissed on the screen. this issue happened on both galaxy S and NExus S. voodoo will fix it. but ofcourse it has to be rooted/unlocked boot loader as well.
[Galaxy S II General] OHDUSER:
odd.. the samoled+ is supposed to be WAY better than iphone4..

then again, idc, its iphone 4 XD

I love toying around with my phone.. not being stuck on same crap.. even jailbreak doesnt help that much..
[Galaxy S II General] touness69:
Well I had an Xperia Arc for two weeks and the back cover was even cheaper than my Galaxy S, it has cracky noise when you hold the phone normally and that looked cheap as hell. The sharp edges were un-ergonomic , the back button wasn't reachable easily... I got rid of it very quickly

And for the design it's a matter of taste, for me the GSII is definitely a looker and that's one of its strenghs and the iPhone 4 is the one that have a 5years old design (just look at the difference between the first gen...)

but thanks for the litle review anyway
[Galaxy S II General] rongden:
Agree on the looks, i think that the SGS2 is far more beautiful than both HTCs phones and the Iphone.. I find HTC designs a bit dull and not that interesting.

Although i really liked the old backcover on the SGS2, which had that silvershine pattern opposed to the new plain black one. But i might get a case for it so it won't matter all that much.
[Galaxy S II General] netnerd:
funny, the only reason i replacing htc inspire (desire hd) with galaxy S2 cus it' freaking heavy, like a brick!

i like to surf internet in bed, after holding inspire (desire hd) for 15 minutes, your hand will get sore!
[Galaxy S II General] EleCtrOx666:
(You don't got retail model - no Samsung Logo so probably another back cover(as we saw, retail version got another back cover). You don't have any photo of your back cover btw.)

Edit: already posted.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
WTF? You need to join a gym or something bro. :eek:
[Galaxy S II General] netnerd:
it' a freaking phone! and i dont show off with a freaking cellphone! i show off with my car! haha

if you have to use muscles to hold the phone, then it' too heavy!
[Galaxy S II General] rouvax:
i ll add a figure :D
[Galaxy S II General] touness69:
I also had an DHD and that's clearly a big heavy brick. That said I didn't noticed my hand getting sore that much, although it's clearly not somethin that's carried like it was nothing
[Galaxy S II General] :
This dude is hard to please, so i generally take what he says as the whole truth;)))

Nice review dude;)

Hey! How was the new Tab's screen in terms of color reproduction? And compared to the iPad's screen?
[Galaxy S II General] RADLOUNI:
RFS

Any way to check the unit you've got whether it has ext4 or RFS file system.

I so much want to buy the SGS II, but the RFS will be a no-go for me
[Galaxy S II General] OHDUSER:
OMG I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!

SHUT UP ABOUT RFS FILE SYSTEM, BAD MUSIC CHIP OR ANY CRAP LIKE THAT!

forget about it! ITS ANDRIOD! everything can be fixed! so why cry? even with the little "defects" the sgs2 has, I dont care because I know it will be fixed!
[Galaxy S II General] Mecha2142:
A few things to note:

1. Pretty sure the Galaxy S II isn't running 'Andriod'.

2. A 'bad music chip' cannot be fixed through the power of Android alone, as it is hardware. If Samsung uses sub-par electronics, the audio output will be sub-par as well.

3. Although you might not care about these small problems, there are a lot of people that do. Most of us are sinking several hundred dollars into this device, so there is good reason to be worried about any faults it may have.

I cant understand people that deride other people based on their spelling and grammar, i would say about 50 percent of this site is populated by persons who's first language isn't English, so im sure they are a lot brighter than us, who can only use one language. Secondly that is an obvious typo so to have a go at him for that is stupidity in itself...

Also is is annoying when you keep getting people asking the same question over and over again without using google or even checking past threads... Or even for that matter just conducting a search.

We have known for a week now that the SGSII is using EXT4, all this guy had to do was search...

Thank you for reflecting my feelings exactly
[Galaxy S II General] Shaady:
I think it was more the tone of the post that bought the comment about the spelling out. There are ways of saying things, maybe a simple 'it has been confirmed already that the file system is ext4' rather then the cap locks reaction would have been better

and I was capping, and writing extremly fast, and therefore making me having grammar and spelling mistakes as seen in the above qoute.
[Galaxy S II General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
honestly. i wasnt impressed at all with the tab.

i dont know the specs but here are my thoughts.

1- the screen wasnt very bright. not as ipad 2. maybe a defective unit ? i dont think so but i dont think so .

2- the resolution .. i honestly dont know what is resolution for the device. but its less clear than the first tab. almost same as ipad2 . but i thought the ipad 2 was brighter. but its no where as close as galaxy S2. super amoled plus does circles over the lcd on the new tab and ipad 2

3- it abit laggy. not very smooth as galaxy s2. it lagged while opening photos. and i didnt even had live wallpapers running. and the device was running from a fresh reboot. so it cant be programs slowing things down.

4- i didn't use the honeycomb very much. but i thought its a bit different than the old one. very beautiful. but you need to get used to it. i dont think the average joe will have a clue whats going on till he use it for while.
[Galaxy S II General] Jo...:
You have a pre production model. So the lag will be gone in the final version. The resolution is higher than the iPad. It also uses a PLS panel which is better than the IPS panel in the iPad. Could you post some pictures of your tab? Is it the thin version?
[Galaxy S II General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
ofcourse but can you give me till tomorrow. ? today i just got mac book pro and i have no clue how to minimize the size of iphone 4 shots from 2M to 80kb. when i go to work tomorrow i will upload them for you.

and yeah its thin. thinner than tab 1 for sure.

and regarding the screen. i will stick to what i said. i didnt see any difference. and the brightness isnt very high .
[Galaxy S II General] Jo...:
Yes, that's fine to me :). Maybe your unit doesn't have the final screen, and maybe it'll be better in the final version. Some Vietnamese guy said the screen was better than the one in the iPad 2... Well, we'll know for sure in 2 months :)
[Galaxy S II General] soraxd:

1 pretty sure the galaxy s ii

IS

running 'Android'
[Galaxy S II General] soraxd:
more importantly, will it only show up while the media player is running, or can you bring it up at any time like the uhm.. *cough iphone* (sorry had to say it)

here, as i promised. few shots of the new Tab

Hi there,

Have you tried NFC feature of SGS2?

[Galaxy S II General] walk.away:
By the looks of the honeycomb buttons, it looks like stock honeycomb on the tab. Is this a really early model? As there seems to be no touchwiz ux on it.
[Galaxy S II General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
my friend he is in sales. from what he told me. they got few hardwares around to show carriers and companies the new device so they can score an exclusive deals. " because it seems selling to carriers is much faster and better move to samsung " over selling it to public directly.

i am not sure they will add a touch wiz to it. i mean, Zoom has moto blur in it ? or just pure honeycomb ?

not really following the tab or zoom much. so anyone here probably know better than me.
[Galaxy S II General] Beards:
Touchwiz in it's earlier design for the new Tab's were completely removable.

However it now does seem that Honeycomb will be running bare on the Tabs.

Re the screen brightness ~ did you get a chance to look at the settings/display settings... was there an option to adjust 'white colour & black colour density then followed by satuation and power saving mode?
[Galaxy S II General] k87:
A good video comparison..shows off the back panel pretty well..now only if they had subtitles...

[Galaxy S II General] walk.away:
http://androidcommunity.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-8-9-hands-on-20110322/

Take a look at the TouchWiz for tablets demo video. Notice at how the buttons are a different style. Also other videos have shown it to have different coloured settings menus and the like. As the new hardware wasnt working when samsung showed it off first the first step will have been honeycomb working on it i assume. then maybe overlay the touchwiz on it.

Like my link yours also was dated 22 March 2011 so anything could have happened.

[Galaxy S II General] karlfergy:
I'm unsure what to get for my next phone the tab or the sgs2 really torn.

I have a htc hd2 at the moment (dual boot win mob & android 2.3.3) so don't really need a new phone. also have the cough cough iPad so don't really need the tab.but hey it's a new toy so why not.could anyone point me in the right direction please.
[Galaxy S II General] Beards:
Think of it like this....

The HD2, whilst a great phone it is now getting on in what new technology can give, so that makes it a very good candidate for an update.

The i-Pad, although it has been recently updated the i-Pad still has a lot of mileage available before it can be deemed 'out of date'.

If it were me I would keep the i-Pad but upgrade the phone.

[GT540 Optimus General] jrohwer:
Hi there, new to this forum so can't post to development forum although I searched there. I'm running Swiftdroid 1.8 / CM7 by Mur4ik on my GT540 and all works fine. The stock 2Gb SDcard that came with the phone is a bit small for my liking so I got myself a Kingston 8Gb class 4 SDHC. Unfortunately this card does not seem to be recognized by the phone, the following are the symptoms:

1. When inserting card and booting phone, mostly it gets stuck at LG boot screen.

2. Sometimes it does boot but then doesn't mount the SDcard. After boot I get a notification like "unknown filesystem on SDcard" (or similar), and do you want to format the SDcard? Yet if I try to format it using the phone, it doesn't work.

3. Checking with adb shell and "mount" I see that the SDcard is not actually mounted.

4. The card is recognized fine on a computer via USB under both Windows and linux, and I can transfer files.

5. When manually partitioning the SDcard (gparted under Ubuntu) to only contain a 4Gb partition formatted with FAT16, then it works fine and is recognized (remaining 4Gb unused). Unfortunately FAT16 is 4Gb max, so I can't format the whole card in a single FAT16 partition. Also at that size FAT16 is very space wasteful (65k cluster size) so that even a tiny file takes minimum 65k space.

6. However, when formatting this SAME partition (i.e. 4Gb) as FAT32 it is not recognized and I get the same errors as above with the single 8Gb FAT32 partition.

7. I tried reformatting the card with SD Formatter 3.0 from ---www dot sdcard dot org--- but it did not make a difference.

So it does not seem to be the card that's faulty. Has anyone else experience with using FAT32 formatted SDcards on Swiftdroid? From reading the forums this should be no problem and certainly the Linux kernel can recognize FAT32. Also there was a report of someone using a 32Gb SDHC with the GT540 although I'm not sure which firmware (stock or mod).

I haven't tried it with Stock LG 2.1 ROM but am very happy with Swiftdroid so don't want to go back to 2.1 just to get the SDcard working.
[GT540 Optimus General] gizmo001i:
Have you formatted it as primary
[GT540 Optimus General] clienthax:
Faulty SD card? ,I'm using a 8gb on swiftdroid
[GT540 Optimus General] lavero.burgos:
I had a problem with mine too and did tons of research but mine is really death lol is other story. But tell you what first try with the best and leave small alternative fixes for later PS. I have many :D. Download disk parted is freeware and is a portable program no need to install. Is intuitive to use. It has a wiki if you don't know what to do with the app.

Last post, bed time!
[GT540 Optimus General] jrohwer:
Yeah sure, formatted as first primary partition.
[GT540 Optimus General] jrohwer:
Don't think the SD card is faulty as I can mount, format and read/write to it via usb on a computer running both Windows and Linux.
[GT540 Optimus General] jrohwer:
What is the "disk parted" software you are referring to? Can't seem to find it. Can you post a link? I've tried gparted, fdisk and cfdisk under Linux, as well as SD formatter 3.0 under Windows.
[GT540 Optimus General] ktmt:
I have had similar problems after changing card, that I managed to resolved after rebuliding MBR of the card and reformating the card

Use Mini Partition Wizzard (Home Edition), delete existing partitions ,select disk and rebuild MBR, than do the format.

I hope that helps, I worked for me.
[GT540 Optimus General] lavero.burgos:
Soooooooooooooooo soooooooooooooooo sorry my fault see i was sleepy and did not remember well the name :D the program is called TestDisk, here is the link:

http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Download
[GT540 Optimus General] jrohwer:
Tried this, but it did not make a difference :mad: After trying to boot phone with newly formatted SD card, it just gets stuck at LG logo. When re-inserting the original 2Gb SD card it boots up just fine.
[GT540 Optimus General] jrohwer:
OK, so I tried formatting the card with TestDisk (under Ubuntu linux) but again it did not help. Place freshly formatted FAT32 8Gb SDcard into phone, switch on, and it gets stuck at LG boot logo :mad: Insert original 2Gb card (FAT16) and it boots just fine....

The 8Gb card seems just fine as I can mount it under Windows and Linux, copy files, read files, etc. all normal.

So I'd be interested to hear about your many "small alternative fixes" :)

P.S. Also tried Mini Partition Wizard (following ktmt suggestion) under Windows, but did not work either.
[GT540 Optimus General] mirvashstorm:
SAME thing happened to me what i did is flashes some kdz files in hope to freshen up the phone and it worked for me
[GT540 Optimus General] gizmo001i:
I think you will find that for a larger card, you really need at least a class 6 card so that the card doesn't cause a bottle neck. A class 4 card may be too slow for that size card. I have heard of a few people getting rid of any card problems they had by using a faster card.
[GT540 Optimus General] I.me.myself:
:cool:
