****The Official Samsung Galaxy S II Thread***

The games available on the iPhone were much MUCH better, there is no comparison really I was shocked at the lack of games on Android, but the S2 with emulators + ps3 pad is imo the best option. For some games you really need a physical pad, and the ps3 pad is as good as they come, and you basically have a SNES, Mega Drive, N64 and PS1 in your pocket! :)

Don't forget the Gameboy for Pokemon awesomeness :D. Completed Pokemon Red a month or so back :D.

Oh, and as for the battery thing before, I've just been out for 1.5 hours with music on the whole time apart from a 5 min call, and sent 7 texts and received 7 texts and used 5% battery :p.

It's not accurately reading then, or are you using the 2000mAh battery? I doubt even that would produce such good battery life to be honest.
 
My journey to work takes 45 minutes, with music on the whole time I lose exactly 3% everyday. Not that unbelievable to be honest.

I read your post, Both your WIFI & Data get cut off though. Only the WIFI does on mine, I can still use data network as well as receive calls & texts. Also mine is the official cable not 3rd party.

Did you manage to fix it though?

Yeah dude with a more powerful charger, the one from my hp touchpad :)
 
how are transfer speeds using the internal flash memory and a sd card

been reading up on the best 32gb sd card for the phone and it looks like the transfer rates are around 4-6mb/s

that cant be right can it? it seems super slow

the main reason i am attracted to the samsung is i can have up to 48gb of storage but what use is that if it transfers the data that slow
 
None.

I send data to my PC directly from the phone using ES File Explorer or transfer data over WiFi as a network drive using SAMBA.

Yeah it's about that. About 3 mins to transfer 1gb. if you want transfer speeds then take the memory card out of the phone and put it in your pc.

so is the internal memory same speed then was hoping it would be faster atleast

and is the iphone the same 4-6mb/s
 
I think I've had battery life like the two mentioned, from the regular battery. Each morning was at least an hour of podcasts, half of that from the speaker. I would quit often only use 4% in this time.

It's almost certainly misreading then, that isn't uncommon. Certainly if you used the speaker!
 
I can guarantee you it isn't. Conditioned and calibrated I would quite easily go 20+ hours (I think 30 one time) to come down to 20%. Remember, this whole hour+, the screen is off. At the same time, I could use it browsing the web and watching videos at lunch and burn through around 8-9% in 40 minutes.

You can't really compare one to another, even just living in different parts of the country (hence different signal strength) makes such a difference. How everyone has their phone set up (I know some very good ways to conserve battery, I could get a DHD over 18 hours regularly). I hear people lasting (and see screenies) 3 days on a SGSII... I did over 40 hours on the extended battery myself.
 
I got fair battery life out of the Desire HD as well. I'm not saying it's impossible but given all the different factors as you said, it's relatively unlikely.

If you disagree then fair enough.
 
My brother has a SGS2, battery life for him has been great.

We've spent about 6 weeks this year abroad travelling and his phone would regularly last 3 days no problem. Granted he was using power saver mode and used very little wifi and no data, minimum phone calls and texts but he did use it to read ebooks and listen to music during this time quite a lot. On the standard battery too.
 
Listening to music via headphones doesn't have a huge impact on my battery. I've been out on 3-4 hour bike rides with music on and My Tracks recording and battery has had plenty of juice left. Granted I doubt it would last the rest of the day.

I think the biggest battery brain is poor signal to be honest.
