Differences Between GT-9070 (s advance) and sII - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, recently bought and SII advance and i found that it has NO xda development section
they have a different chipset, but same processor and GPU and maybe modem?
is there a possibility to flash roms only doing some minor modification?
i'm waiting for a big NO, but who knows the power of xda wizards =p

The firmware for the s2 i9100 (Processore: Arm Cortex A9 Exynos 1.2ghz DUAL CORE ) ,are not compatible with s advance i9070 ( Processore:ARM Cortex-A9 dual core da 1GHz
Memoria:768MB di RAM ), there are hardware differences ,For you i 9070 can already have root permissions, but you have to wait to leave cooked rom , etc.

Bro u did a very big mistake.....ur phone is still new so sell it at soon as possible @higher price and buy gs2 i9100

Do not flash anything meant for Galaxy S2, on Your Phone (Galaxy S Advance).
You will only end up with a paper weight, if you do so.
You have been Warned!

[Q] Are there different versions of the SGS II ?

Hello All,
I was thinkin of getting the new Samsung Galaxy S 2, but when i took a research i noticed that in the Netherlands the Galaxy s 2 has a dual 1.2ghz with 3g network.
ht tp :/ /sh op.w ww.hi.nl/hi/RAPRD/Samsung-Galaxy-S2/TSAI9100bl.html?M5Referer=google_gsm
& when i searched in Germany it has only a 1ghz dual processor with a 4g network.
h tt p :/ /shop .phonehouse.de/handys/viewDetail.php?iModelId=1116&gclid=CLaF5pW5_KgCFYSGDgodoH07SA&Apid=Hurra
So, did they bring out different types or did they made a mistake?
(just like i some sites post the SGS II has a 5mp camera..)
all very weird..
The thing why I bother is, i'm going to buy the phone in Germany, but i'd like to have the 1.2ghz version they sell in the Netherlands...
Thanks in advance,

that's a mistake...
No, it's always a GT-I9100 (sgs2) with 1,2 GHz and 4G (the icon onscreen is H+)
Some websites say that there will be a GT-I9100T with a Tegra2 powered cpu and a lcd screen
But i think it would be a Tegra2 powered cpu and a superamoled+ screen...
Dont call me liar or something else, this was what i have heard
Edit: and it's always a 8MP cam

The thing is, i've found on serveral sites that there 'are' diffrend versions,
look at this:
h ttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II
that's probably the reason why they sell a different version in Germany,
but it leaves us a main question, will the GT-I9100 or the GT-I9103 be the better phone.
maybe i should wait a few weeks searching which will be better, before buying the phone.
Two versions are Xynos and Tegra, no idea if I've spelled them correctly.
But the Xynos is better with 1.2 GH'z, where as Tegra is 1 GH'z.
Only advantage Tegra has is that is specialised for gaming I think..

The Mali gpu is also more powerful than the GeForce ULP. As you say the only advantage Tegra has is gaming, but that can be bypassed when we get the plugins needed for Chainfires awesome app.

I don't understand why you're quoting me, you're saying the same thing as i did.
Here in Portugal I heard that here we'll be getting the version with SLCD screen and possibly the Tegra cpu. However saying that, I cannot find any reference of any retailer here selling the S2 yet or any launch date for it which I find strange.
I also heard that there will be a Galaxy S2 mini version with 1.4GHz cpu and 5MP camera.
When I bought my SGS 2 in The Netherlands I asked if they heard something about a Tegra2 version with a possible LCD screen.. They had not heard anything about it. Im pretty sure in Europe every SGS2 being sold right now is Exynos 1.2 GHz and SAMOLEDplus.
Here they also talk about the two version's: h ttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II
After searching on the net, i'm still not sure where the different version's will be launched..
Maybe in a week or two we will find out ;p

welcome
what model-number do you have? (look into settings, about phone)
if it's I9100 then you most probably have exynos,
tegra would be I9103!
best regards and much fun with sgs2 and XDA!

[Q] Galaxy S II GT-I9100G

What is it with this model and those optimized games? and compatibility issues? Seriously? Would it be solved anytime soon? Or is the G in the end means i shud give up hope on my phone? Most S2 optimized games on samsungapps can't be installed
From JayceOoi's website:
In short, Samsung Galaxy S II GT-I9100 is using Samsung own Exynos 4210 SoC CPU and ARM Mali-400 GPU. And GT-I9100G uses Texas Instruments OMAP4430 CPU and PowerVR SGX540 GPU.
TWO DIFFERENT INTERNAL SPECS, DIFFERENT GPU AND CPU.
I9100G
- Doesn’t overheat easily, better battery life.
- CPU seems to be capped at 1008 MHz.
- Poorer 3D performance.
- Can’t download apps / games developed for Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 in Samsung Apps / Android Market.
- Fonts in PAPAGO! very small.
- Not much custom firmware / modification
I9100
- Overheat easily, poor battery life on Android 2.3.3. Android 2.3.5 fixed it.
- Fully use 1.2 GHz CPU.
- Better 3D performance.
- Anti-Aliasing (4xAA and 16xAA) support with Chainfire3D Pro.
- Lot of custom firmware, kernel, modification, tweaks…

i didn't get this point really... i have the G-variant and i didn't see any problem when downloading any app or game to it... am not sure if the applications are actually developed for a special mobile version, mostly apps/games are developed for "Android" and not for a certain company such as samsung or HTC or any other and neither for any model like GT-i9000 , GT-i9100 or even GT-i9100G etc...
ICS for GT-I9100G in india is available now!!!

[Q] GS2 - Need help in Purchase!

Hi All,
I am residing in India, and have been dying to make up my mind for a SGS2!!!
Anyways, my questions follow -
1. If I get an opportunity to get this from US, what would be the best India compatible model with the best possible specs which I should be getting?
2. If i get this from local Indian market, how do I check that I am getting the real deal and not any low powered version? (the different processor and GPU details are very confusing! Need enlightenment!)
(1.2 GHz dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 SoC processor VS. Samsung Exynos VS. 1.5 GHz dual core Qualcomm Snapdragon S3....)
Or, should I be waiting for the SGS3 to come around?
Kindly get back with your replies!
Thanks!
CK
Any suggestions? Anyone?

Uh.. So definitely can't wait that long, Any tips on the above choices for S2?

what's the different between these 3 models

i9100g
gt 9100g
sa 9100g
i found these 3 models from amazon
i am wondering why they're not selling i9100
can i use the i9100 rom for these 3 models?
or only the rom from
Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development
All the same phone from what I can tell. And the i9100G uses a different chipset than the international, so you need to go in the G forums. If you flash an i9100 ROM on a 9100G, it won't work and you can possibly brick.
that's wired
the origianl price of the i9100 was 602
and the gt 9100g was 899
they are the same price right now
so which one should i choose

Definitely the international version i9100 !! better GPU the MALI 400
The I9100 is the most famous and popular, it's the international version so it has a lot of development in this forum
The 9100g uses another kind of chipset so u must go to 9100g forum for its developing stuff
I dont know about the 3rd

Negative. I9100G has better GPU. That's why it's more expensive.
Okay, the international model has more tweaks, can be oc'ed to 1.6Ghz and other cool stuff.. I9100G is newer, with different chipset, GPU and cannot be overclockable yet. Sooner or later the I9100G will also have a lot of tweaks etc. Developers are working on it. Of course overclocked I9100 will be faster than the I9100G, but with stock settings 'G' beats the non-g. But, it's your choice.
