I also bought white s2 July 12-13...I was also confused bw nexus nd s2...nd I also think as s2 has gr8 hw support as its manufacturer warranty nearby service centre...nd overall gr8 overall resale as nexus ke parts r costly ....

So overall I also think buying s2 for 24k was worth as compared to nexus with dealer warranty...

Nd personally I was looking for a white one...nexus has drawback day white model has black front...so looks too ugly..

Galaxy s2 rocks

Currently on ROM RR 2.6.1 siyah kernel nd it rocks

Also anyone know how to fix gtalk FC? I did cleared data for the app but still not fixed. I get a FC when I go to the conversation. No problem when I'm on contact list.
[Galaxy S II General] ImSherlocked:
First you don't need to use custom ROMs on nexus to have smooth OS. And Nexus has a huge (and better) development community compared to S2.

Apart from camera, nexus is a better device overall. And it's not like the nexus camera is worst. It's takes relatively poor pictures in low light. Otherwise you can harldy tell the difference in photos. By the way Nexus camera has zero shutter lag!!! I replaced my S2 with nexus and I have not missed the SD card slot yet! It's good to have feature though...

One more thing, Nexus will get the next android version within days of releasing. Cannot say the same for any other phone.

I see.

Disable Google location services & that will help reduce the wakelock but it will obviously stop Google Now from showing those cards which requires the service to remain on.

Also under Maps>Settings>Location settings is where you would find Latitude & other location based settings. It's all been integrated now.
[Galaxy S II General] atulalvenkar:
Apple made the decision to go with non flexible apps, i.e all apps are created for a fixed

apect ratio.Now if they increase screen size they need to keep aspect ratio same otherwise all apps

will need to be changed i.e heavy fragmentation.So they are in kind of catch-22 situation.

They also touted retina as a pretty important spec of their display. They had to either increase

GPU power, battery size etc to still go with retina or drop the retina.Since people anyways buy

their phones they might have decided against going to large screens.

Steve jobs said Apple arrived at the aspect ration/screen size after lots of surveys and discussion

so if they move to bigger size it kind of looks bad on them. Also Apple does not usually acknowlege

it's competition and going large screen would mean they were acknowleging the competition.

I'm trying out various modems for my s2 since past 3 days.

But all of them are showing -89 regardless of the location where it is.

I remember the signal strength was at -71 in my office with stock GB. But now it is constant -89 whereever I go.

What could be wrong?

Just checked my friends GSL. It shows -65 whereas mine is still -89 :(

2) anywhere in Mumbai I can find 2000mah battery?

UOT kitchen & S2

Hey mate I noticed you have created battery mods successfully. Yesterday I tried to create a battery mod for KJ3 in UOT kitchen, but it ended in bootloop!

I uploaded all three files, framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk and twframework.apk.

I even tried selecting Galaxy as device in the script section. Then I tried it without .9.png autofix option too. Nothing worked.

Is there anything else that need to be done to get these mods working on S2?
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
I only upload framework and SystemUI, not twframework.
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
ohh i was about to upload twframework.apk ...So you mean we need not upload this twframework.apk?? And can you tell me about the various ways to revert back to my previous mod/theme if i dont like the kitchen mod i cooked.??
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
I don't know if it's needed or not, I never uploaded it...

Just backup your old framework and SystemUI apk if anything goes wrong with the Kitchen Mod, just replaced it in case of any problem.
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
What if it goes into bootloop??At that time? Nandroid backup will be only option right??or can i just upload the files without any mod selection,which can i use as backup,so that i can so that i can flash it in case of problems??

You have used the device all time except for few minutes. And also there is a break in the graph, means to say you did a hard restart of the phone and that may explain a sudden drop in battery level.

Because you are using an experimental ROM

Disable media scanner from "rescan media root" from play store

You also had a freeze/reboot which caused massive battery drain(not drain actually but the fuel gauge thinks so)

I've had this problem when I handed mine to Samsung SC first time, they fixed the software issue I was having and gifted me a new one, lol, scratched the lens. The next day I ran to them and they changed the back panel. Luckily, it was well inside warranty that time :)

PS- These are two photos taken from mine on that scratched lens.

@sahib. What is memory leak problem in jb which u mentioned on last page.
[Galaxy S II General] #illidan:
Obviously RC2 will be better but use the latest nightly as that includes bug fixes for RC2.

Due to issues with mali & JB (mostly incompatible drivers) whenever you open any app the system uses RAM for it but once you close the app the system doesn't release that RAM back & it just gets used up with no way of freeing it unless you reboot. Basically a RAM management issue with happens especially with Settings app & lock screen.

---------- Post added at 08:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 AM ----------

There has never been & there will never be a compatibility requirement for modems. All modems will work with all versions of either Samsung or Asop SII roms

Not a RAM leaks. From what he described its more of a freeze like when you UV too much.
