Hey guys.... I was wondering
Did you have Galaxy S before you got Galaxy S2?..... I have a heavily pimped out Galaxy S
Insanity ROM with Damian´s GTO Kernel with 1280GHz and the phone is insanely fast with 3-4 days battery life....
I was wondering if I have any reason to buy the Galaxy S2?.... I mean in terms of speed and battery life?
I know it has better Camera and flash and stuff like that :þ
Thanx
I can almost garantee the SGS2 will be quicker out the box. It will cope alot better than the SGS under load too. Having a gig of RAM is very helpful.
I thought my cm7 nexus one was super fast untill i got the sgs2.
I would buy the sgs2 simply because, if they can make an sgs as fast as an sgs2, then what the hell can they make the sgs2 as fast as?

haha yes, that is what I was thinking ..... think I will enjoy my Galaxy S this summer and buy Galaxy SII when developers have come up with fast as hell ROMs + Kernels
everything about the SGS2 [stock] is better!
but i found that my 'pimped' [lol] SGS1 with custom ROM Etc had a much longer battery life.
once devs get some good custom ROMs on here in sure the SGS II will out-do the SGS1 by miles!
switching from SGS1 to SGS II was the best thing i've done for a while!

Have never seen a SGS I custom rom with 3-4 days battery life, even I leave it in my drawer.

With normal use, turn off 3G/WiFi when I´m not using it and stuff like that I can get 4 days...
I have been using my phone pretty much now, getting 2 days from it easy :$
i had a sgs but just broke it with water dmg 2 months ago was great aside from battery life and gps and of course that horrible lag
tried many mods darky , doc , miui ... etc with different lagfix , kernel ext3 . ext4 .. etc but still the device lags alot , the best was miui glitch minimum lag but still the lag is there
i used nexus one with 2.3 and even HD2 with 2.2 and compared them to my phone ... loading games i load them like 1.5~2 x faster than both but while in menu , exiting apps , switching between apps and opining apps both devices do these things much faster and they dont lag at all while mine lags in everything and the same issue with my other friend sgs while sgs2 shows that its faster than both phones
now i want to buy a new phone and thinking about the sgs2 but i dont want to fall in the same mistake and end up with a laggy phone
so what do u think of sgs2 , does it lag much ? or it doesnt lag at all? does it have any lag issue ?
i want you to tell me honestly and excuse my poor English
PS : I 'm not comparing them to how IOS is , i know how fast is iOS but i'm not looking to buy any IPHONE cus i want an android
The word 'Lag' is a relative one. If you are coming from those devices then you won't notice any, but iPhone users have some trouble getting in, iOS is silky smooth, can't say the exact same for Android.
Remember, I am not a fan of either.
Regards.
Every piece of hardware in the world will have software lag on it occassionaly, at least. My experience is that this blows all over my HD2 with every ROM I had on there, and I tried a LOT of different builds on that.
Seriously, if you've had a HD2 running Android faster than your SGS2 then there's either some bad software involved or you've got a faulty device. The difference is more than obvious.
what i meant with lag that the phone get stuck and wont accept commands
i have been android user the for more than a year now , never bought any iphone
but compairing my sgs to hd2 and nexus 1 its the laggiest no mater what u do with it
nexus 1 and hd 2 were very smooth and dont lag when installing more than one up
my sgs lags while downloading a single up and nearly freeze while installing it , cant even brows contact smoothly while installing an app unlike hd2 and nexus 1

So you're actually saying that a HD2 running Android is faster than the SGS, but not faster than the SGS2?
Edit: Sorry, I just reread your first post. I see what you're saying now. So basically, you've not got the SGS2, but you've had the SGS and wonder if it's that much better? In that case, I'm out, since I've never even played with the original SGS. All I can say is the the SGS2 is faster and smoother than anything I ever had running on my HD2, and I generally stuck to Nexus builds because I prefer the original stock Android experience.
Coming from an iPhone, I would say the S2 is on par as far as homescreen "lag" goes. As for not accepting commands, the only time I have had this happen is if I lock the phone using setCPU . Other than that, the phone is FAST. I don't notice any lag at all, and most apps launch just about instantly.

i dont have a sgs2 and thats why i'm asking about it before i buy it
and i did compare my sgs1 2.3 darky 10 ext4 wiped to my friends hd2 2.2 mine lags in menu and while installing but its faster when it come to loading games by 1.5~2x times
his never lags while doing anything just smooth
There are small micro jitters here and there with andriod OS, not a smooth as iOS.
Barely any lag in normal use in things like web surfing and using the interface.
But I get extreme lag using BBC Iplayer(Not the app) in HD or any other video source that is in HD excluding youtube. The video lags and the sound it out of sync. Pretty much unwatchable.
I know that these videos aren't optimised for use on a mobile but it would have been nice if they didn't lag.
Apart from that, all other videos are fine.
Silky smooth here, underclocked to 1000GHZ. Had a sgs and it drove me maaaaaaaad!

Why does everyone think ios is extreme fast?
Even my sgs loads apps quiker than my iphone 4.
It does maybe sometimes not as fluid but always fast.

I agree faster loading time but unfortunatly not fluid as ios.
I own a Sgs, Sgs2, desire, desire hd, nexus s and the smoother ar the desire hd but it is heavy as a rock and not resistant as the sgs2
No lag on mine ever since updated.to XXKG6. No problem on either Ninphetamine or lulz kernel.

On mine there is no lag with the stock ROM. Once I installed Go Launcher, the swiping of the homescreen while was not laggy did have a lower framerate than the stock Touchwiz 4 launcher which was silky smooth.
Never had ANY lag at all since the SGS2 released. It really depends on the usage. But mine, no lag.
No lags on mine. Unrooted and stock rom 2.3.3.
Ah, well... actually to be honest yes, now that I think about it... sometimes I experience a very annoying lag of about 1 second at each and every character I type in the standard text box of forums, while posting. Each character appears about 1 second after having tapped it on the virtual keyboard.
Not sure if it happens with all the browsers, but it's very annoying indeed.
In addition, under the same circumstances when tapping on the text for editing, the "arrow" cursor appears shifted down of about 2-3 rows, with respect to where it actually is in the text.
Not sure if anybody has found a solution for this.
All of these newer phones, EVO 3d, sensation, sgs2 etc. will hardly ever have lag, in my case I have mine underclocked and still no lag, and never had lag.

The question really boils down to does it lag, Yes or No.
There are animation lags from time to time on the S2, thats just how andriod works. Even if you stuff in a quadcore with 3Ghz per core nothings gonna change due to how the software works, probably even if the memory speed is increased 10 folds there will be lags.
No and yes nothings perfect. Ive experienced it before root. Why are you thinking of swtching to, a diffrent OS?

Hey guys I just went to a store to test out the GS3 and I noticed that the browser is 1000x smoother than the S2 it doesn't shake when you pinch to zoom and hold your 2 fingers pinched. I think that's software related because the GS2 Gb browser was like the S3. Do you think it would be possible to port it over or change the touch setting to make them match the S3's?
I tried to compare the 2 apks but the S3 is a lot larger 5mb vs 2.5mb on the S2. When I push the S3's browser in my /system/app it fc.
depends where you are, a quadcore S3 with 4.04 will be smoother, its a no brainer
The problem is not the cpu it's the browser itself in GB the S2 was as smooth as the S3. It was with the Qualcomm S4 with the weaker gpu.
4.04 than !

Still not the problem. The ICS default browser and Samsung ICS browser for SGS2 is known to have problems since early leaks.
1000x smoother :laugh::victory:
Is it fixed in 4.0.4?
They say is a little better, but still not as perfect as in gingerbread.
Anyways Im downloading right now, so that i can test it.
The main thing I hate about ICS for the S2 are those micro stutters in the browser! Whats up Samsung? You are not able anymore to optimize browser? In GB was sooo amazing!

Right :good:
Hey guys, just a quick question Anyone know why my S2 heats up alot when i do a lot of texting? im using NeatRom Lite 4.4 and the default kernel that comes with it, if im not mistaken its Philz, it doesnt bother me much but would be nice to know why maybe i can resolve it somehow, i noticed it heats up mostly near the camera.
Thanks
near the camera , it our dual core processor
texting won't heat it up , see what other processes u have on and terminate them
Check which app heating the phone by Battery Stats Plus.
I had the same problem few weeks ago, and it was Facebook Messenger heating my phone, I just re-installed and it's ok right now.
I'm facing constant lag while playing the newly released game Dispicable Me - Minion Rush on my brand new Galaxy S3 I9300.
It lags in the beginning of the game when the character leaps on to the road to start its run and also during the turns.
Is anyone else facing a similar problem ?

yes, me too. the game has very good graphics. due to the background processes, lagging occurs. i don't face lag expect at the start of the game.
I experience no such lags... Everything runs smooth.
You might want to try Antutu Benchmark. Maybe there's a problem with your Phone/ROM.
not even a pinch of lag on CM10.1(temasek). butter smooth for me now! :cyclops:
Turn of powersaving?
In your world I would be considered crazy, in my world too but they know me here at least.
I tried to run this game and it's ran smoothly for me
Bwaw everyone,
Weirdly, on my S3 I can't launch the game, it's a FC each time.
I search on internet, none has my issue.
Any idea, guys ?
Run smoothly on my S3. Turn off power saving or if you are on custom kernel try another...

Weird, I just downloaded this game and I'm lagging as well.
I run a Verizon Galaxy s3 with Beans Rom 19
