Is there a way to make the clock on the lock screen a 12 hour clock?

It looks like it's linked to the system clock (see top right). I would suspect that if you set that to 12-hour, you'll have what you want.

And as for people that are wondering if this will ever hit Rogers- it will. Samsung's strategy is to saturate the market with their phones across as many carriers as they can. They did it with the original SGS, and they'll do it with the SGS2.

What you should be questioning is not whether Rogers will carry it, but when since it took Rogers months to release the Captivate after the initial Bell release (the Vibrant).

Heard a lot small problems in S2 from oversea...such as weak wifi reception, battery life...etc.


I would really wait for Rogers to carry it.

Just for warranty backup.

The feeling can never be as good as iphone. It doesn't feel so solid.

but hey, it has the least radiation in the recent lab test along with some other phones.
I'd buy one if the price drops.

Just for warranty backup.
- The Wifi icon shows a weaker than normal signal, but speed are not compromised. I can easily top out my home internet connection. My Wifi connection icon shows one bar less than my other devices.

- As for battery life, after about 10 charge cycles, I get about 18-20hrs on a single charge (depends on how CPU intensive my daily tasks are). I average roughly 2hrs of "screen on time".
a) I'm on a custom ROM at stock speeds. Unfortunately, I never kept the stock ROM long enough to compare with stock ROM's battery life. But I don't think the custom ROM would make too big of a difference

Another thing to note is that Android currently has a bug with dual-core processors, which is causing the phone to not enter "suspend mode" while the screen is off. My "awake time" graph shows the phone is awake for extended periods of time even while the screen is off. ("Awake time" should almost match the "display on" time). So there is definitely something weird going on there.

The good news is that Google has supposedly fixed this in 2.3.4, which should be coming to the SGS2 in the next month or so. I anticipate battery life to be even better in the future.

Funny thing is Rogers announced the Samsang Galaxy S Infuse 4G coming this summer, which seems odd if they plan to bring in the Galaxy S2 too. The infuse is pretty much a jacked up Captivate...still not dual core so it would be disappointing if thats all they get.

Need a new toy to fiddle with while waiting for ip5.

Anyone know if it is confirmed no 32g for SGS2 or released at a later date? Feeling so blocked with the stupid space constrain of the ip4.

I find it hard to believe Samsung would release a single core variant for their flagship device.

There are rumors of a Tegra2 variant, but one has yet to surface.

Not enough, got a 64 ipt and am currently sitting at ~6gb free space, so need a 32+32 phone at the very least.
