Rickrina, 02 Jun 2013Guys i think i want to buy this phone next week, so i want ... moreGalaxy Ace 2 is a good phone. From my experience using this device, better stay in Gingerbread (2.3.6) than you upgrade to Jelly Bean 4.1.2.
Here are my reasons:
1. Jelly Bean 4.1.2 consumes many RAMs, it gives you little free RAM only
2. I don't know wether you will get official Jelly Bean at your place or not. The official Jelly Bean Portugal has still a bug. It lags,include typing in messaging. I still remembered, AnTuTu score was around 3.000, below 3.900.
3. I had upgraded official Jelly Bean at my country (I8160XXMD4 version). Typing is fast, but sometimes streaming YouTube faces bad lag that make me almost can't stop the YouTube, even you press home button or on/off button (the pictures are stuck but sound and voice is running)
4. Now, the notification of SMS (native message) has gone. It can't display delivery report, and no sound, only vibrate that works
Before upgrade to Jelly Bean, still using Gingerbread, all of I did was very good, no lag when streaming YouTube, SMS notification worked fine.

Android smartphone that come wih preloaded Jelly Bean will be better than we upgrade our device that use old Android OS. From my Galaxy Ace 2, I had experienced bad lag when streaming YouTube, while for example Chrome or Opera Classic is still running.

So far, it is better than Portugal Jelly Bean. I still like it. If you had installed UK Jelly Bean, share it here.

If we install jellybean manually without .pit files then the ace 2 will have 486 mb RAM in jellybean,so phone suffers from lag.
This freaking SAMSUNG has deceived us all...let us also annoy it by flooding its inbox with our comments and queries on Jellybean in ACE 2. Now all of us should contact samsung support for that. Are you ready frens???????

toru, 01 Jun 2013Which OS Is the best for ace 2 GB or jellybean please share... moreFrom my experience using my Galaxy Ace 2 running Jelly Bean, I think stay in Gingerbread is a good choice.
1. Leak Jelly Bean (XXMB4)
I had tried it, it lags in many area, consumed many RAMs. Skype had notification. No problem with SMS notification.
2. Jelly Bean Portugal (XXMC8)
I had tried it. First time, it good, almost no complaint, but several days it became lag, messaging is slow, had ever experienced bad lag that almost can't be stopped when streaming YouTube, browsing via Chrome, and play AVP: Evolution. Consumed many RAMs. But Skype was still has notification. No problem with SMS notification.
3. Final Indonesia Jelly Bean (XXMD4)
Well, it goods in messaging, better performance compared to Portugal Jelly Bean. But these the lack of this firmware I think:
a. No notification on Skype (icon shown on the top. But, when I received IM,I can hear the sound (no notification IM that appears on the top)
b. I experienced bad lag again streaming YouTube yesterday (I thought that happen when the free RAM was low), bad lag too when play Dark Avengers (sometimes). The bad lag was like in Portugal Jelly Bean, almost couldn't be stopped.
c. Consumed RAM, say I just have 2 or 3 chattting applications that I download, the device just give me free RAM not more than 160 MB, sometimes below 110 MB. Gingerbread was better, gave me more than 200 MB free RAM.
d. Now, the notification for SMS not working since yesterday. All settings are alright, the delivery report is not working, only vibrate that tells me. If the vibrate is turned off, no sound, but it receives text message (there is number 1 on the message icon when I receive message). I had tried restart my device, it is still the same, no notification on the SMS. Any idea?
So, stay in Gingerbread is better. But, if there is smartphone is preloaded with Jelly Bean when it it released, that's maybe better.
