Question of the Day: How much would you be willing to pay for a next-generation gaming console?
Samsung Galaxy S2

I think a few people did upgrade, but nowadays Android is rock solid, so there's not much to complain/talk about.
Thinking about it now, I installed the Spanish JellyBean ROM the day it came out & never ever had a phone hang/freeze/whateva you call it with my Galaxy S2.
Android 4 does not muck around anymore.
Not sure I want a S4, that silver line around the phone does make it look so low budget! :wtf:
Maybe wait for something else to come along next year.

Same here!
I'm still trying to find an app that will bring my S2 to its knees, but I have not been successful yet.
Downloaded the update for Flipboard tonight, now it flips even bleddie faster.

Same. Upgrade is only next year. So I guess I'll get the S5

I recently noticed that my S2 is taking crappy photos. I don't know if I'm imagining things.

I noticed the same thing on slimbean, moved to UK firmware much happier with the camera now. Still not as good as my wife's iPhone 4s

I resized it, but can you seen how out of focus it looks? Even though I always second take when the camera didn't focus. That's it. Flashing tonight

Just takes a while to download from hotfile. Deep sleep is not as good as slimbean. But with extended battery at 70% at 6pm

Have you tried a different camera app? I use Camera ZOOM FX v 4.1.1. ( http://market.android.com/search?q=pname:slide.cameraZoom )

I thought about it, but really there should be no need to buy different camera apps in the first place. I'm going to try some different ROMS, if all else fails, I'll try that app. Thanks.

My alarm has not worked for two days 
Been late for work...
I have not changed any settings on it for months. Set for weekdays @ 05:40
Running Spanish JB rom.
Could it be the screen protector getting old or something?

Check your blocking mode settings

Blocking mode is off.
I did a test alarm earlier, and it worked, but does not explain why it has not been working when i actually need it to.
I have deleted the alarm and recreated it, so i will see.
i dont mind being late for work, but the traffic sucks when i'm late

Check again what your workdays are defined as and if you have selected Monday to Friday.

The same setting have been working since i flashed the JB rom, that's why i suspect the screen protector may be interfering.

Screen protector? What kind of screen protector could possibly mess with the alarm?

I have had funny touch screen response before that went away when changing the screen protector. It was just a thought.

Unless your carry your phone around in a satchel with rough diamonds I really wouldn't worry too much about a screen protector. The Gorilla glass is very resistant against scratching. I also put one on for about a month when getting my phone but it takes something away from the display in both vibrance and touch response. It's about a year now after not having it on and there isn't one scratch on my screen.
