Hi All,
I don’t know if you guys have noticed this or not…but when the SGS II first came out and was showcased at MWC the icons for Messages and Contacts were different... and now the retail version shows them to be exactly like how they used to be in TW 3.0..Why is that? Even in this review you guys can notice that in some pictures it’s exactly the same as MWC and in some picture it’s different! Why is that so? Can somebody please explain? Or is it because we get an option to change them..
Thanks,

There is a semi fix to the battery issues
Companies should just start using lithium polymer batteries!
There are smaller and lighter in weight with higher capacities.
So virtually in the Gs2 you could say maybe they could've put a 2,200Mah in and possibly it would've been the same size.(That is a guestament on the MAH)

Just turn off every services, switch to 2G and treat it like a basic phone and you should get more life of your battery. Then switch on services that only what you will use on that time. But people likes to look cool by turning everything 'on' and then they complain. Well that's what you get for being a hero haha.

Weaker processor, weaker GFX, less RAM, heavier, worse display (Super AMOLED+ is more important than resolution).

AnonD-5197, 20 May 2011Samsung and LG won't continue to manufacture WP devices?I don't LG are a contender in any OS (personally)
Sammy I think are better with Android than with WM7 - HTC have a good track record, so I think they'll be better...
Personal opinion only of course!

GSII or Sensation?
Comments for the Sensation seem to be comparing their phone with the GSII yet there seem to be far fewer comparisons the other way round on this thread. Is it because Sensation fans see the GSII as the benchmark to compare with, which shows they have respect for it.
I'm a Sony Ericsson fan myself but the Arc seems to have been left behind in so many areas, so my focus is on HTC & Samsung phone. I like both the Sensation & the GSII but still not made my mind up. What i want is a decent camera and flash. My girlfriend has a Desire, so I'm slightly familiar HTC Sense UI yet I know nothing about Touchwiz.
Thoughts and info welcome

You see...I much prefer the OS that HTC use because they keep it stock!!!
The overlay on the os is not nice those tiles are annoying and irritating to opperate...hardware is very good though. Quite impressed by the screen and cameras!! ....tell me wat u think

I strongly recommend Samsung Galaxy S2 to everyone who wants to buy or upgrade. If u are looking for powerhouse which comes with excellent web browsing, superb still and video camera, best screen, so many good connectivity, superfast, smooth, plenty storage then this is the phone u r looking for.

Its a sacrifice we have to make to have a powerful phone where the battery last 2 days or a we can chose a phone with a monochrome screen, with a poor processor and OS that is stuck in the dark ages-I know which option most of us would chose. There is only so much you can do with battery technology which is why we haven't seen much improvement in lifespan over the years.

marat, 17 May 2011i dont ask 1650 to last for 4-5 days. what is required is a... morewhat im saying is they are improving the battery already (SGSII in particular) people just dont get satisfied. try using SGSII battery to the phones from yr 2005. It could very well last 3 days or more because phones from yesteryears do less, thus drain battery at a lesser pace. Whats happening is the improvements made on the battery cannot be felt because every new phone release have additional features that eats up the battery. You make the browsing faster, of course it will drain battery faster.You multitask, playing music player in the background while editing documents, of course it will drain faster. You put moving wallpapers (i forgot what theyre called) of course it will drain faster coz even when not being actually used, the phone is working. Truth is, the phones are evolving fast, the battery improving as well (albeit in a much slower pace admittedly as pointed out, but improving nonetheless). And what im saying about resting is, since you, the owner is sleeping why dont you charge the cellphone as well. Its called initiative. In things that we have no control with (e.i. battery improvement) do your part, charge it when ur not using it (preferably while youre sleeping so you wont have downtime in phone use when ur awake). And yes, some people wants thinner phones. I still think, whatever improvement on battery life that is brought about by sacrificing the thinness of the phone will still not be enough to grant you wishful thinking of getting 4-5 days phone use with HEAVY USAGE!

The only issue here is to know if MALI realy sucks !
Why there isnt a single benchmark comparison between MALI, Adreno 220 and SGX540 ?
Is it because MALI realy sucks ?
I dont understand why no one has made this test until now !
