Review on GSMArena: Comparison b/t SGS2 and LG Optimus 2X

I've been lurking here for a while trying to gather info to decide on my next phone. I think i've narrowed it down to the Galaxy S2. Anyhoo, i'm so excited to run across this new review on GSMArena comparing the S2 to the LG Optimus 2X.

Here is a snippit of what the reviewer from GSMArena concluded:

But don’t take this as a total defeat for the Optimus 2X. It’s still a nice and powerful device. And it stood its ground with pride. It has a relatively good display and camera plus a great processor that’s still almost unmatched in smartphone terms. It’s a great smartphone, it's just not the best – that would have to be the Galaxy S II title.
[Galaxy S II General] shorty083:
Has anyone found an article or video of the gps performance?

Been looking around but nothing really conclusive yet.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
No but the OP Mausamali from the "Just Tested S2" thread said the GPS works fine.

I am sure Samsung has fixed it, that would be the least of the worries. The build quality and the support after the purchase is what should be the question.
[Galaxy S II General] silverwolf0:
The build quality is much better than the galaxy s from all the reviews I've read. Considering how much effort Samsung seems to be pouring into both the hardware and software for the SGS2, it seems to be an even bigger flagship phone than the galaxy s and will have proportionate support. The galaxy s is already getting Gingerbread too, and it got Froyo pretty early, so whatever delays will be carrier based, and Google seems to be getting more nitpicky about fragmentation so carriers might be more accommodating this time around, especially after learning the ropes last year.
[Galaxy S II General] Beards:
Trust me when I say the GPS for the SGSII will not be anything remotely which we had with the first SGS.
[Galaxy S II General] FLAC Vest:
I really like the car dock. For a while I was really interested in picking up the official dock for my N1 but I just don't feel like spending the money right now.

However, I'm definitely going to pick this up along with the phone when I get it.
[Galaxy S II General] soraxd:
i want one! ughhh that thing looks sick
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Yea same here!

I am glad to see Samsung produce some good accessories for the SGS II. It was definitely needed, especially to be a part of the Samsung ecosystem.
[Galaxy S II General] KLoNe1:
Yeah, knew they were just testing the 'accessories' waters with the ones they nearly didn't release for the i9000. They all look very good and well throught out - should sell well. Hopefully they're on sale at the phone's release.

Not too upset on the phone not having stereo speakers anymore; you can still get some 'alright' sound out of the SGS's loud speaker. What I am a little upset with is that the bottom 'menu' & 'back' buttons don't 'fade' in and out; it must be simple to program and just reaks with class - unfortuante that they (SAMSUNG) didn't go with that...
[Galaxy S II General] maxnik1:
Not bad. :)
[Galaxy S II General] ijat91:
Wow, nice score there, now i more excited about this phone...
[Galaxy S II General] bronx:
to be honest, I rarely get this excited about "things", but this time I just jizzed in my pants. :D

WHAT THE HELLLLLLLLLLLL

HOLY SH*T SAMSUNG STOP PLAYIN WITH OUR HEARTS AND RELEASE IT NOOOOWW :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
[Galaxy S II General] WagTwo:
We cant be sure that this is a benchmark of the SGS2. Or can we?

Not that it would have any problems getting 3000+ in quadrant
[Galaxy S II General] leontouchhd:
Guess Eldar isn't faking such things :)
[Galaxy S II General] madpete:
Actually I think we can, this guy is very snuggly with Samsung...he had the original Galaxy S2 prototype about 2-3 months before anyone else.

I'm not usually that bothered about quadrant scores, but holy **** the S2 is looking powerfull.
[Galaxy S II General] RaspyYeti:
Hope he can post other benchmark program results and some real life phone battery usages.
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
You know what is strange? Eldar himself was getting 2000 to 2700 back in the beginning of March when he first reviewed this officially.

Here is the link to that article, search the page for this Russian text to find the image "2000 до 2700":

http://www.mobile-review.com/review/samsung-galaxy-s2.shtml

Somehow Quadrant went up from 2000-2700 to 3000+ :)
[Galaxy S II General] Axefield:
Nothing strange in having lower benchmark records with 1GHz prototype?
[Galaxy S II General] golf2vr6:
It was a pre model with 1GHz... so what is your point?
[Galaxy S II General] kwokwchoy:
Good to see the performance boost on the 1.2 ghz processor compared to the 1 ghz
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
i think there is more to it ...

his last model is a pre too I bet, but may be a final pre.

I think it is this, but 50% increase just by going from 1 to 1.2 (20% bump)? It could also be the OS version: the original was 2.3 the last one is 2.3.3 with quadrant running on one core and davlik garbage collector running on the other core, or just overall better multicore support.

Or maybe Samsung just finalized the GPU drivers. I wish Eldar used the pro version of quadrant with itemized results.
[Galaxy S II General] kwokwchoy:
Yep.. the earlier test was done by Eldar months ago, he sure gets all the phones!

He's also said that it is much faster than the Atrix!

Eldar's mentioned that is the retail unit right?
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
I do not recall reading this. His twitter earlier in this thread just says "standard firmware", nothing about retail.

I actually just found this very interesting benchmark from March 17 - almost a month old.

http://smartphonebenchmarks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=256

The guy concludes that core android is very fast and the gpu is not that fast. I hope those results are from some preliminary hardware with no GPU dirvers.
[Galaxy S II General] nomisunrider:
Any word yet on the bootloader? Is it locked?
[Galaxy S II General] maxnik1:
He mention it.
[Galaxy S II General] ChesterZZ:

[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:

[Galaxy S II General] ChesterZZ:

Phone Arena compares photo and video quality of SGS2 and LG Optimus 2X

http://www.phonearena.com/news/_id18072

SGS2 is the winner according to them.

Some people asked for shaky in-hand video samples, they have them, enjoy.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
The SGS II will win due to the enhanced features and hardware specs. The O2X isnt bad for the hardware its rocking, but for the money, the SGS II takes the kicker.
[Galaxy S II General] harpstar:
Nothing new here, just a short hands on article.

http://blog.gadgethelpline.com/gsl-2011-hands-samsung-galaxy-2/
[Galaxy S II General] jeezus:
From the article:

"Android Gingerbread works very well with the Dual-Core Snapdragon processor used in the S2"

Indeed......
[Galaxy S II General] ChesterZZ:
Eldar just replied to me that the review will be up next week :D
[Galaxy S II General] madpete:
Cool, looking forward to that.
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
Eldar just tweeted that the battery life about doubled comparing to SGS1

50% after 8 hours of heavy usage on EDGE

http://twitpic.com/4kdiir

http://twitpic.com/4kdiib

EDIT: he just described the usage - more than one hour of talk time, 5 pics, SMS-in 200, out 10. He states so far this is the best batt life he ever experienced on a mobile.
[Galaxy S II General] EinPaul:
39% for "Dialer"? :confused::eek:
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
I just edited my post that you replied to - in that 8-hour period he spent more than an hour talking on the phone, on EDGE network.
[Galaxy S II General] EinPaul:
Sounds awesome! :D
[Galaxy S II General] TMaLuST:
Would be awesome if he could check the bootloader, it's the only thing which is preventing me from preordering it, now.
[Galaxy S II General] sckc23:
Great piece of information mate! Good to see a huge improvement on the battery performance over my Desire.
[Galaxy S II General] nomisunrider:
I will second that.
[Galaxy S II General] teh_pwnage:

I actually can't wait for this phone either way but unencrypted bootloader would be a plus!

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afishpie:
Hey guys, new here. Sorry but i just wanted to ask if im currently on CM7 nightlies #11 and im upgrading to CM7 nightlies #12, do i need to wipe anything?

secondly, if im on CM7 nightlies #11 and 1.2.7 netarchys cfs kernel and im switching to honity's kernel do i need to wipe anything?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
No to wiping but if you encounter bugs then you should wipe all three.

If you go from one rom to another you'll have to wipe.

Kernels don't need to wipe. But if you flash a new rom you need to reflash the kernel because the rom will override your kernel.

Ok, now that im on Honitys how do i OC to 1300? i have setcpu but it only allows me to OC in blocks of 400hz meaning to say that i have to OC to 1400HZ.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheShadowMan:
Oh yea, the first brick on the block. :D

I was experimenting with stock rom modification through ADB and within the OS itself. We still can't flash anything with the "backdoor" CWM that we have at the moment that wasn't even designed for our phone, but it will allow you to do a nandroid backup, so I made sure to back up everything in case I did something stupid. Well, I did something stupid. So stupid in fact that I can't get back into recovery, I just hang at the initial boot screen. So I'm kind of glad an odin TAR file is being worked ok. I think I'm going to need it. Oh well, no progress without failure.

TO THE BACKUP PHONE! *cue the batman music*:cool:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] IceDragon1987:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheShadowMan:
Thanks to the awesome Krylon. I've actually flashed that tar about 4 times now. :-D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] BKzJustO:
I did the same exact thing yesterday. I forgot to use the stock tar. and my first superbrick ever. Won't even turn on period...Sent in for an exchange to Wal-Martwire dot com. Normally Walmart is cool about taking things back (even if it's torn to shreds.) so we shall see if they're gonna notice.

[Desire General] palmy204:
Hey guys,

Im very new in trying custom ROMs and a bit confused... i tried the oxygen and a espresso ROM. The Oxygen is a bit too trimmed and espresso is a bit too overloaded... (200mb) oxygen looks nice so far, but i miss some setting stuff like setting the widgets or customize and personalize somewhat more (themes etc.) So, could you give some suggestions which ROM you think fits good?

Greez and tnx :)
[Desire General] decat:
Already tried LeeDroid?

Runs fine here and got plenty of space.

As far as I know you can flash themes and use widgets.
[Desire General] palmy204:
I will try it tonight.. :) Tnx and other suggestions are welcome :)

// Just seen it is 167MB. Seems that my Space is almost full again if i install it...?

Oxygen with some more customizing features would be so nice... ;)
[Desire General] BigMrB:
If you want a sense rom auraxTsense 8.4 is class.... install with data2sd and you have loads of free memory ... loads
[Desire General] dave83uk:
Try MIUI I've not gone back to sense roms since. Two good places to get it from MIUI-au.com and MIUI-dev.com
[Desire General] decat:
I've got the app2sd version and got +300mb available at this moment, depends in the size how big you create the ext partition.
[Desire General] echo21:
+1 for MIUI - I use the eMIUI rom, it's more stable than the original HTC sense, loads of themes and very, very quick.
[Desire General] palmy204:
Okay I've tryed everything and now decided for redux. It's simple and fits to my needs. Guess it is a good Choice. Thanx for all your replies.

Does anybody else use redux and got some nice hints/add-ons for me?
[Captivate General] frohman:
I recently upgraded from stock JH7 to Cognition 4.1. After the upgrade, my phone will break out in loops of ATT Tone while on charger for no reason. The only way to get it to stop is to unlock the phone and pull down the notification bar. I thought this happened when my battery reached 100%, but last night I charged it to 100% before going to bed and never had it do this. When I got out of the shower this morning, it was playing the ATT Tone on loop again, some seven hours after the phone reported that it had reached 100% battery.

I tried searching for an answer and came across a thread for the i9000 for this problem after they upgraded to stock 2.2. Their solution was to change the system notification tone since it was defaulted to No Tone by the upgrade. I looked at this, but mine was set to Kinetic Bell. I tried changing it to something else and back again, but no dice. Also, my normal ringtone is not set to ATT Tone either, so I don't know what is causing it to be played.

Does anyone know how to get this to stop happening? I am getting tired of being woken in the middle of the night by my phone being stupid.
[Captivate General] frohman:
Just an update. The issue is still happening after upgrading to Cognition 4.1.1 (full flash, not the update package). Not only that, but the looping ATT Tone happened in the middle of a phone call when I hit 10% battery, which really seems to cement this as a battery issue. Does anyone know why battery notifications are always resulting in a looping ATT Tone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hwehbe.lb:
Hi everyone,

Recently, I bought a Samsung Galaxy S I9000 with Android 2.1 OS,

I flashed it to Android 2.2 Froyo, my system now has the following firmware information:

Firmware version: 2.2

Baseband version: I9000XXJPP

Build number: FROYO.XXJPO

My question is:

Can I re-flash it using another ROM "I9000JPJPA"?? :confused:

If yes, HOW to do it? and what cautions must I be careful about?:confused:

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colindodds:
Use odin and if in europe flash it with js5 which is on samfirmware and a.flashing guide that will take you to 2.2.1 or if you feel brave have a bash with 2.3.2 gingerbread again on samfirmware free membership
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hwehbe.lb:
Thanks,

I am not in europe, I live in Middle east, because of that I need to re-flash my i9000 to a ROM which support right to left langauge "I9000JPJPA" (Arabic).

I checked samfirmware website, but I felt lost in front of the huge number of ROMs.

Does the 2.2.1 supports right to left language? is it stable?

if yes, what is the name of this ROM on samfirmware website?

Am waiting your reply
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colindodds:
You should have a look on samfirmware.com as they cover europe asia usa so on very easy site to navigate as for left to right i believe so and 2.2.1 very stable

Just in case that you are wondering, flashing won't remove the lock either.
