Yeah the HTC One, I really like the speakers they're great for watching YouTube. The S4 just doesn't grab me, I really dislike the styling but that's not usually enough to put me off a phone. The Sony Experia Z looks quite nice as well. The camera I also like a lot on the HTC One.
 
AARRRRGGHHH!

My phone did some automatic app updates today, and just as it finished I received a whatsapp message from a friend. My phone then instantly froze and now will not reboot... it just gets stuck at the Samsung Galaxy S II GT-i9100 splash screen and won't go any further.

Any ideas? :confused:

EDIT - It now boots... weird.

Any one have any battery life tips?

Since upgradeto JB my battery life is very poor. I tried turning of Google now to see if that makes a difference, but didnt do much.

There really isnt much running on the phone. It's a stock Three 4.1.2 rom.

Running processes dosnt show anything out of the ordinary.

Complete factory reset, I haven't met a Samsung phone yet that hasn't needed it after the JB update. :(

I've had to do 2 x S2 and a Note so far for people due to poor battery life or random bugs (the wife for example now needs to set her alarm for Monday for it to go off on Saturday :rolleyes:)

Battery life is however awesome on mine now with the stock rom :)
 
I've accessed the Service Mode number #197328640# to increase overall volume but [5] AUDIO is doing nothing, and it didn't work on ICS either, whereas it used to work on Gingerbread. Anyone know a solution? If I actually get a reply here I'll be amazed.

99% sure the feature was taken out in ICS firmwares. If this is to fix the mic not picking you up I actually had this a few times on test handsets, it's a known fault I got fixed by repair / RMA :(

If I back up the phone, and do a factory reset, then restore, my contacts and text messages etc... will that be ok?
 
I hear S2 may not get anymore official updates past 4.1.2. A Samsung Touchwiz issue or something is to blame. Shame as the S2 has a special place in my heart, even if mine sits in a draw. S2 plus isn't affected apparently. As much fun as ASOP and the likes roms are concerned no effect but camera software is still a critical area I find on S2 to S4.

I think they're just having a laugh really, if the S2 Plus will get it then I don't see why the original shouldn't.

S2 has served me well, I hope I can find its replacement soon so it can be relegated to the spares draw :p
 
What case have you got?

It doesn't add that much thickness, I was still able to use the same rubber case - just wedged it in.

Too many innuendos in that sentence :p

I wouldnt be that bothered by it, really. It's not like 4.2 really adds anything to the S2. But hey if you really want 4.2, then there have been 4.2 based custom roms available for weeks :)
 
Any idea why my phone is saying it has insufficient storage, when I hardly have anything on it??? Can't even download a 5.5mb file.

I think my Google store is trying to download to USB storage? How do I change this?
