So, I get my SGS II otmmorrow, what are the first things you reccommend I do with it? I was thinking:
- Update to KE7 right away.
- Do a hard reset and wipe to make it 1000% anally-retentive fresh
- Root
- Profit?
fornowagain - what tegra games have you tried so far?
Battery is much better since last night. Charged to 100%, factory reset, charged to 100% again and ran the battery calibrator from xda and unplugged. Currently sitting on 85% after 12.5 hours, lost 4% in the 10 hours from off charge to waking up this morning and checked twitter and facebook for 30 mins and sent a few txts. Much better!
A strange low power problem happened with my GS2 today as well.
The brightness lowered by itself and the brightness option in settings was disabled. I had only just fitted a mirror screen protector so I figured it was because the mirror screen protector was covering the light sensor but it's back to normal now that I've charged it.
It's like the phone went into a low power mode yet I have all the power saving options disabled.
I've only had this replacement GS2 for a couple of days and my old one didn't have this problem so I'm thinking it could be a problem with the KE7 firmware as it's the only thing different.
Could you link to this please. I was getting better performance in KE1 and KE2 than KE7.

That's the link to the app, works pretty well so far including the factory reset. 25.5 hours on battery so far with 28% left. Medium usage today: twitter, fb, browsing, 30 mins of calls and txting all day.
Do you know of anything that will max out the CPU and drain the battery faster?
I am now going to work... will try my hardest not to skip all the way there like a gayer at a prospect of finding an SGS II there. You don't even want to imagine a scenario where it doesn't come today.

omg the ****** phone has been sitting in my office for the last 2 hours sitting under another box. Opening it now yaargghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Since I updated to KE7, I've encountered the rather unpleasant Android OS battery drain problem which has a large thread on XDA. I've loaded up Juice Defender and uninstalled Kies Air to see if that helps. I'm currently 20% battery used after 3 hours - without doing an awful lot. More testing required!
