Samsung Galaxy S2

[OGroteKoning]

guys, im gatvol with my S2 atm. its really pissing me off.

i've brought this up in the thread before, but the typing lag is really getting on my tit now

i was fiddling with an iPhone 5 this morning while waiting for people to arrive at a meeting, and the difference is extremely noticeable to me. i type really fast and Im sick of my phone not being able to keep up and giving me all sorts of cock n bull predictions coz its just too damn slow!

so instead of going and buying a new iPhone 5s there must be some ROM/kernel combo that I can load that rids me of this terrible scurge!!!

HELP!!!

NeatRom lite ... I think they might even have a KitKat version (stand to be corrected)

Yip, as you can see, choose a rom, any rom, but the stock rom and your life will be fulfilled with all the goodies

Hi All,

Still rocking my S2 (glad to know I'm not the only one ). Does anyone here know where to get original batteries for the S2? I tried ordering from a company on BoB, but both the batteries they have sent have turned out to be duds.

Thanks!

This is quite expensive. I got mine for R160 brand new from the Samsung TTS group store in PE.

Hmmm wonder if there is a cheaper option in Cape Town then...

Went with this suggestion last night and Im happy with the results. Not over-joyed, but I can live with the lag I guess. That said, its definitely a lot less than what it was...

Very smooth otherwise though

I broke my screen yesterday. Poor thing wont even turn on.

My upgrade is available, but still deciding. The S5 is a decent upgrade from the S2, but it is still weeks away.

Have you tried SlimKAT?

Battery life is great. I get through 2 days with moderate use.

Brilliant!

The Note 3 is a much better buy than the Galaxy S5.

I've just been looking at this, not much difference in size.

No, it's not and not that heavy.

My Note 2 is heavier than the Note 3.

And the stylus on the Note 3 puts it in another league....you can't really compare the two handsets, very different beasts.

But the Note 3 will still be the flagship phone, even if the S5 is out.

nope, you have experience with it?
