[OFF-TOPIC] Galaxy SII Hangout Thread

olyloh6696 · Oct 13, 2012

Hi guys, I'm new to this part of the forum coming from a Desire S.

The Desire S forum was a really nice place to be, so I decided to set up an OFF-TOPIC thread. It turned out very well, and is a great place where I made friends and learned tips and advice for both my device and other things in life.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1611085

I would like to try it here. I hope this thread will also help to cut down the number of OT post in other threads. (as it has done it the Desire S forum)

Basically, this thread serves as a place for any discussion, for fellow GSII users to hangout! Feel free to talk about anything!

So let's go! How about we start by introducing ourselves?

Thanks a lot Ben, much appreciated! I want to thank all of you guys too, my DS experience wouldn't have been the same without you guys! (Especially you for helping me during the early days of VoidU and Hyperion!)

I will still always be part of the DS forum

Cheers

Hello there,

Nice to see thread like this.

hmmm. well, tbh, not that much high-end anymore. but mid-high,yes,yes indeed.
The only thing i cld complain really at this point is the screen (just resolution, not colours, viewing angles or anything else)
The gpu is still a beast, you can see that if Sammy choose to put same GPU in s3 which is high-end device.
CPU,very nice indeed, no need to talk about chipset anyway, its gonna hold well for solid ammount of time to come.

Anyway. Im 25yo Croatian male, nice to meet you all fellow XDA members.
Cheers

Perfect thread to talk about what happened to my phone this morning.

So I'm usually not the guy that charges his phone overnight and takes it off the charger the next morning, cuz I get paranoid something is gonna happen.

Well I fell asleep last night while the phone was on the charger. When I picked up my phone this morning it was FREAKIN HOT (I mean hotter then it has ever gotten before) and the battery was drained pretty low.

Turned out that my AC adapter went defective overnight and fortunately I had a different AC handy to replace and troubleshoot.

Crazy thing is that everybody else I know charges their phone overnight too. IDK maybe it's just me *sigh* lol...

I too charge my phone over night and don't experience that problem. Although, once it did happen to me when I had my xperia ray(never Sony again), but that was due to keeping it under my pillow all night while charging.

Did u have yours under your pillow while it was charging?:what:

A quick question to you guys:

On average how much screen on like do you manage on your phone with around medium brightness?

I'm getting just over 3 hours, but I'm wondering if I should be getting more. My battery is 1 year old already, so it may have already lost its full capacity.

I'm also swaying between the Anker 1900mah and Official 2000mah. Ideally i'd like to keep the same battery cover.

Any thoughts?

Hi guys,

This is my first post here in XDA. I'm a noob or, what sometimes is the same, a demon or something...The funny thing is that i've been a member for a long time (2007) but having nothing to say, just read...so it'd be kinda odd if someone's call me noob...hahahhaha

Being using a Galaxy S2 for a year and I think is one of the best smartphones ever made. Even a year later remains one of the most powerful...and with CM10 I'm happier of having it...

I've read a lot of threads and discussions, and it's nice to read and write in a thread like this.

Thank you so much olyloh6696.

Greetings from Madrid.

Sorry for my english..

bartoloandre98 · Oct 14, 2012

Hi guys.....any problems that might pop out I will try and solve although i am not as active as I used to....

....an 18 year old from Malta...happy to meet you all.

ashzoomerintrack · Oct 14, 2012

Great thread.

Well I too keep my phone charging overnight. Ok from this does anyone know is it possible to keep phone in aeroplane mode yet access wifi? An app or tasker script would really help. I want to stay connected to wifi so as to be able to download stuff overnight.

Good idea cos sometimes you don't know if you'll get flamed for asking questions in the wrong thread
