SGS II or Xperia S? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi i want to buy a new phone, and not sure if i have to go for SII or Xperia S. The main thing i will use the phone for is mobile gaming.

One of these would be better.
(In other words, these threads are ridiculous)

Indeed. all want to play the "policemen" of the forum that find 75% of the questions too dumb to be answered.
@op definitely the s2... No wonder if it reached over 30 million users.

well you all say S2 but why? is it real better for gaming? Because it's 1.2 GHz and SXS is at 1.5 GHz and i read that Adrenno 220 GPU is twice faster than Mali-400. But thats only what i read, that's why i'm asking.

The answer is simple... Because it's Samsung galaxy s2^^

Adreno 220 is nowhere near the Mali-400MP.
I have a Galaxy S2 and my brother is using a HTC One S(Asia version, same chipset as SXS)
I have played Asphalt 7, The Dark Knight Rises, NFS Most wanted and many other High graphics Games.
They don't lag even a bit on SGS2 but sometyms they do lag a bit(lyk a stutter) on bro's One S, even though he is using Custom ROm on it.
AND
you can overclock S2 upto 1.6Ghz if you want and you get a processor that can handle it(every processor is different)
And lookout that you dont buy the I9100G model. It's chipset is much slower than original I9100 :highfive:
Gud luck :good:

7510 is the wifi model. Run to the developmemt thread and flash galaxy task14
Get Visidon from the market for face unlock
Get Camera ICS+ to get panorama photo capability
Get Veetle for your movie viewing enjoyment
And that concludes my 2 cents

Good thread. I am looking to buy a tablet and the Samsung 7510 is on sale today. Thought about getting the Acer, but does not look like much development is going on over there. PLUS, with Samsung, I get the amoled screen
Been flashing my Vibrant, then Galaxy S2, and finding some great ROMS along the way. I only hope there are some great ROMS for the 7510.

Galaxy Note 10.1

Yikes! Just got my brand New Galaxy Tab last Tuesday and now I've been informed that there is a Note 10.1 around the corner.
The "only" difference I've seen so far is that it will pack a 1.4 processor, stock ICS, and external sd card slot.
Since I got this one in Costco is returnable. However, I think the Note will start @ $500 (maybe more...)
I dunno... You guys think is worth the wait?
It's just that I have a SGS2 and is sooo much faster than this Tab. Will flashing a custom ROM to this tab make a difference in speed?
Thank you for taking my question.

I can only say I'm running my 10.1 @ 1.4 and haven't had any issues not caused by myself.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using XDA Premium HD app
You missed the whole point huh, the pressure sensitive stylus?
Value is a subjective thing though, only you know what you need out of the device. Going with the note will surely mean a longer wait for development of custom ROMs. If the added features make up for that as well as the delay between launch and shipment then go for it.
Me personally i find the idea of the stylus intriguing but then the ram limitation (the 1gb of ram, not sure if this is an Android system restriction at this time but I'm guessing so) is cause for pause for me. We all look at lag critically and i always wonder how additional system ram would improve that. If increasing it on a standard PC improves performance to a degree then surely on a tablet it would as well. Of course that would add additional cost but I'm sure many would spring for premium models with more memory. I bring up this issue because of Samsung partnering with adobe on the inclusion of Photoshop touch with the note. Moving towards marketing tablets for graphic production using the stylus needs to come along with the ability to do it well without the lag and unresponsiveness shown in the demos. Surely there are driver optimizations that can help yes but anyone who uses Photoshop regularly to do production knows that ram is hugely important.
Baby steps though, the note is certainly a welcome addition to the tablet arena. If an LTE one comes out in the next year is certainly consider it.

Need to flash Pershoots latest kernel. His droid basement blog would probably be the easiest to find since I don't have a link to his thread here handy.
I'm using setcpu also and had the 1000 limit. Flashing his kernel gave me the1400 option with no other changes needed.

Return it and keep saving to get the galaxy note 10.1. I read a couple weeks back they were holding of release til june to switch out the dual core processor for a quad core processor. I think it would be worth returning any tablet to get the galaxy note 10.1 if this rumor is true.

If this rumor is true I will crap my pants
id wait if i was in your position.. really. return that **** and use your desktop or laptop till it comes out, i wish i would have.
It has been upgraded to quad core 1.2 ghz so return your tab and get the note 10.1

[Q] Gaming on Galaxy Ace

Hello people I'm here to ask what do you think of the gaming experience on the Galaxy Ace. Is it ok for a medium budget android phone ? And how does it compare to the galaxy Gio?
-Thanks
You're getting the wrong phone
Ace-ing all tests.
Well honestly stock it SUCKS! But with mods like
- Skeleton ROM
- Slaidyboost
- Chainfire 3d
- Overclocking
You could play some games, but still not perfectly.
I'd say the Gio is just as good, it just has a smaller screen. - But will give you the same experience.
you mean i should not buy it ?
Ace is maybe a low budet android phone but runs games that was made in his time. My recomendation some other phone if you wana play new 3D games.
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA
depends on game engine... games like Tank Hero Laser Wars run on my ace great!
but, you cannot have an medium budget gamer phone, it doesn`t exist... but ace is one of the best in this range, obviusly modified, like in my config
so, my config: 245-864MHz SmartassV2 - CM7.2 by vo-1 (15/03/12) - ChainFire3D
sorry for poor english :\

No it's dangerous to over clock that high. And I heard tat the ace is overclocked at factory ready. Thats arm6 processor for you.

New 3D games = hi end phone, not Ace.
Unfortunately, due to the person designing the ace being drunk, we had crappy and outdated hardware (ARMv6, Adreno200 (Struggles with MDPI 3.5")
For a Gaming experience for a relatively low cost phone I could suggest the Galaxy S Advance (Not available in many countries) or the good old Si9000.
Angry Birds work perfectly... lol
Tried games like GTA or apps like MTG TOolbox and they work bad. :/

or the S3

Should I get a Galaxy S III??

So I'm coming from a Samsung Infuse, and honestly, this phone cannot piss me off even more than I already am. I'm talking about constant resets (stuck power button), terrible GPS reception, UNBEARABLE LAG even with the latest paranoid android, and finally, messed up APN settings which bares the phone useless since I can't have any service on it! So now you understand of my struggles with my current phone. I'm in search for something that I can rely on and won't have even the slightest bit of lag after 2+ years of owning it.
Now, I've been doing some research on some phones (gs3, htc one x, htc one, gs4) And I come here to find out your honest opinion on the GS3 since the time you've owned it. Should I save some cash buying a GS3 or a One X, or are there some sort of problems with these phones that have ticked you off that I should consider paying the extra buck and looking at the 2013 flagships instead?
I would suggest the SIV over the SIII..

OP, if I were you, I'd wait until the S4. Not because the S4 is a good phone, we don't really know. But because I'd like to know if the S3 sources are to be released. Otherwise, stay away from exynos.
You'll thank me later.

If you really want an S3, what about the I9305? 2G RAM! If you can afford a G4 go for that instead, if cash is tight perhaps a second hand G3. Should be a few out there soon cheap, when people have upgraded.

If you can get the S3 for a gooood price, get it and install SlimBean no lag at all stable as rock. Faster then a n4

I'd recommended waiting for the S4. The S3 is a great phone but at least you'll be future-proof with the Galaxy S4 (in terms of updates, camera, display, and RAM). That's quite a lot of things!

S3 have bad multitasking management, huge delay when you open dialer, mms and galery app.
I have spent lot of hours to fix these issues thanks to xda devs. It is a good phone (huge battery removable, good screen, ext sd card, powerfull) with a bad programmation.
I advise you a nexus one or a htc.

All i'm saying is to get a phone with 2Gb of ram. S4 or even the S3 with 4G is fine. The N4 is subject to different considerations (do you want an sdcard, etc) but it's a powerhouse too.
While the S3 nearly doesn't lag at all, not having multitask isn't fun and you'll definitly have a better experience if your apps aren't closing all the time due to lack of memory. This annoys me to no end and i'm replacing it whenever an oportunity arrises.
