Jayman Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Not sure if I'm missing a setting somewhere but there's one thing that I don't like about my S2: If the phone runs out of charge and switches off before I put it on charge and go to bed then, when the phone has recharged, it doesn't switch itself back on. Therefore my morning wake up alarm doesn't work. My old iPhone 3Gs did this. I still prefer the S2 to the iPhone but this problem pisses me off a bit (unless there's something I can configure to make it happen). Any ideas? Cheers Mick Maybe I don't understand what you are looking for here but if you leave the phone on while being charged then you don't have an issue of the phone not being on. If you have no charge left and the phone turns off then how would it turn back on? If you then plug it into a charger then you can turn it on yourself and it will be on when you wake (and fully charged) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkkmick Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Jay, I think that I tried that last night. The phone was dead, I plugged in the charger and pushed the button on the side and the large battery charging icon appeared in the middle of the screen. Maybe I needed to press and hold to turn on properly. It's just that the iPhone did this automatically (without having to try and switch it on) and I was expecting my S2 to do the same.

justsumhelp Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 It wont do it automatically which has its benefits, e.g. the phone charges faster. If its completely dead put it on the charger give it about five minutes then turn it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wana Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 phoenominal phone but a bit let down by the crappy battery life and from empty it takes about 3.5 hours to charge it they should have put a higher capacity battery in it + a charger that can blast power into it if its going to drink so much juice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somtamnication Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) I agree. The battery life, irrespective of what kernel is flashed, really does truly suck. Standby is ok, but I did not buy this bad girl to just let her lie there in vain. The screen is a battery hog. When I use wifi and play internet radio with the screen off, it lasts forever! Typically 8% used after 1.5 hours, which is good. When I go to starbucks to piss people off, the app I use takes 10% off the battery within 10 minutes.

Somtamnication Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 Oh, the best one has not been mentioned. he he he he he. Oh, man, I will go to hell for this.... search for network spoofer. After you install it, there is a 100 meg download, but oh, is it sooooooooooo mucho more fun than the other two mentioned above. The only problem is, that you should not drink coffee while doing it, cause you will spit it out with laughter! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayman Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Enable all in settings, rather than choose one ip to spoof to. yeah I don't see any spoofing when I do that. About all I get is all my network clients can't connect to anything (LAN and WIFI) but nothing is being spoofed or redirected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobl Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I take it from the last few messages in the thread that I'm unlikely to find an answer, but I'll ask anyway... Has anyone found a local store selling accessories for the sgs2 - not just the usual crap like screen protectors and covers, but in particular the fat battery (and obviously a new back cover) - either in Chiang Mai area or Bkk/other with online ordering?

Your not going to find the 2000 mah battery and back cover in bangkok, if you do your lucky. Ebay has versions but they are for they Korean model that has the nfc chip in the battery and the back cover will NOT fit without modifications ( filing down several tabs). Sites like http://www.expansys.com/ have them but the shipping is really expensive. Best bet is to have someone buy one take it out of the packaging put the battery and cover wrapped in an old t-shirt, then marked used items on the customs form.

Somtamnication Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 The only thing I have seen is the external case with battery built in, but it was 1600 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
