I just upgraded my SGS1 to the latest ROM from Samsung using the Kies program. Major improvement and much easier than dicking around with the other ROMs.
The only hard part was finally getting kies to install.
What release is it? My mate's got one of these and it runs like molasses compared to the SGSII.Quote:

About to upgrade from SGS, thinking SGS3 or SGS NOTE. 7" is too big to carry around. Not sure how big the SGS not was but liked the size. Big enough to surf the web and watch videos but still fits in the pocket. I think it's about 4.8 inch.
Not happy with the new ICS 4.0 and will wait to see what happens there before upgrading.
I agree. Buy an SGSII and stick on CM7.

On February 19th, Chinese vendor ZTE announced plans to bring to the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona two new smartphones running under Google’s Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system.
The new devices, PF200 and N910, will arrive on shelves with 1.2GHz and 1.5GHz chipsets inside, and will also include support for 4G LTE networks.
The ZTE PF200 smartphone will be announced with a 4.3-inch QHD capacitive touchscreen display, as well as with an 8-megapixle photo snapper on the back, with support for HD video recording. It will also pack a front camera to enable users to make video calls.
The Android mobile phone will include support for LTE, UMTS and GSM spectrums, along with WiFi and Bluetooth 2.1 capabilities, and built in GPS receiver.
The handset will also arrive on shelves with digital living network alliance (DLNA) compatibility, and mobile high-definition link (MHL), and will feature near field communications (NFC) capability.
As for the ZTE N910, it will hit the shelves with support for LTE FDD, CDMA and EVDO networks, while sporting a touchscreen display that can deliver a WVGA (800 x 480 pixels) resolution.
The mobile phone will be launched with a 5-megapixel photo snapper on the back, as well as with a front facing camera for video calling.
The specifications list of this device also includes GPS receiver, WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, and DLNA capability.
“These LTE devices are the fore-runners of a wide range of LTE devices ZTE will bring to the market in the coming months, and as more and more LTE networks come on stream,” said Mr. He Shiyou, executive vice president and head of the terminal division of ZTE.
“They will be feature products – among a very wide range of devices on display at the ZTE stand at Mobile World Congress 2012.”
These phones will be showcased on stand B145 in Hall 8 at the Mobile World Congress at the Fira exhibition site in Barcelona, Spain.
Sky Go for Android has been released, but it only works on selected phones, and may not work on rooted devices.
Can't see it in the market in the sandpit, but there are some .apk's around if you want to try it.

BSkyB’s online TV service, Sky Go, has finally arrived on Android, three weeks after we first reported that it would be made available some time this month.
The UK satellite TV broadcaster launched Sky Go back in July 2011, after merging its existing Sky Player and Sky Mobile TV services, and initially it was only available on iOS mobile devices. Sky Go allows subscribers to watch both live and ‘on-demand’ video content on computers, mobile device and games consoles, and it’s available for free to Sky TV subscribers. Sky also revealed last month that Apple-branded devices alone had reeled in 1.5 million unique users in December alone.
As we previously noted, the Sky Go Android app is only available in the UK and Ireland on a limited range of Android devices to begin with: HTC Desire, HTC Desire S, HTC Desire HD, HTC Incredible, HTC Sensation, Samsung Galaxy S, and Samsung Galaxy S II. Furthermore, Sky’s content will also be accessible through a 3G connection, though of course this will consume a lot of data.
https://teakdoor.com/images/smilies1/You_Rock_Emoticon.gif
Last November, we reported that Sky was including movies-on-demand with Sky Go, meaning you can tap in to all eleven Sky Movies’ channels wherever you roam. The service brings access to 22 live channels in total, depending on what you subscribe to, and includes all four Sky Sports channels, plus Sky Sports News, ESPN, Sky News and Sky 1.
The lack of support for Android tablets and limited availability on smartphones may be to some customers’ chagrin, but it seems Sky is looking to restrict the service to only the most suitable of handsets for the timebeing. “We fully appreciate how much Android users have been looking forward to the launch of Sky Go, and we’ve done everything we can to make sure that our bespoke design for Android handsets is worth waiting for,” said Holly Knill, Head of Sky Go, when it first announced an Android app was coming.
Knill added that the Sky Go app was arriving for a “selection of the popular handsets including HTC Desire S and Samsung Galaxy S2, covering the majority of Android users”.
However, if you’re thinking of upgrading to Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), you won’t yet be able to access Sky Go, as previously indicated here:
“As some of you have suggested in the past there are over 300 Android smartphones in the market – all with varying versions of the operating system, different components, screen sizes and resolutions. This variation in device specification and the complexity of the Sky Go app means that it is not currently possible to build something generic that will work across all Android devices.It goes on to say:
With this in mind and to deliver the app to as many Sky customers as possible, we have taken the decision to build for the most current versions of Android handsets – v2.2 and v2.3. These are the operating systems that our seven listed handsets use and our research has shown that these handsets cover at least 60% of the Android handsets out there enabling us to deliver Sky Go to a good proportion of our customer base.”
“Sky Go Android will not support ice cream sandwich when it is launched, however there are plans to develop the App to support it.”So the first incarnation of Sky Go for Android will be accessible by a large chunk of users, but it seems we may see a number of updates in the coming months before it’s opened up to the Android masses.

Ubuntu Running On Android Smartphones At MWC
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2012/02/2250.jpg Canonical today unveiled Ubuntu for Android, bringing the free desktop experience to multi-core Android smartphones docked with a keyboard and monitor.
Canonical brings Android and Ubuntu running simultaneously on the same device, allowing users to share their contacts, messages and other common services.
The phone experience is pure Android. When the device is connected to a computer screen, however, it launches a full Ubuntu desktop on the computer display. It's exactly the same desktop used by enterprise and home users on their Ubuntu PCs, and includes certified applications, from office productivity to photography, video and music.
All data and services are shared between the Ubuntu and Android environments, which run simultaneously on the device. So Android applications such as contacts, telephony and SMS/MMS messaging are accessible from the Ubuntu interface. Indeed, all data on the smartphone can be accessed at any time, docked or not.
Ubuntu for Android gives mobile workers a company phone that is also their enterprise desktop. Government and private institutions have embraced Ubuntu on the desktop because of its ease of use, security, manageability and support for web browsers like Chrome and Firefox. The desktop can also include Windows applications, using thin client and desktop virtualisation tools.
"The desktop is the killer-app for quad-core phones in 2012" says Mark Shuttleworth. "Ubuntu for Android transforms your high-end phone into your productive desktop, whenever you need it"
Manufacturers targeting the corporate phone, as well as the next-generation enterprise desktop and thin clients, can add Ubuntu for Android to their smartphones. The customized version of Ubuntu drops in alongside the rest of Android, and the necessary Android modifications are designed for easy integration. Hardware requirements include support for HDMI and USB, standard features in high-end handsets planned for late 2012.
It's 2.3.3, of course the SGSII has a faster CPU. I'll probably stick with the SGSI for quite some time, from the reviews I've read the improvement of the SGSII doesn't warrant the expense of upgrading hardware now.Quote:

I bought a GT P6200 7in for the Missus, nice piece of kit, until someone phones you

What are the benefits to rooting it, if it runs fast already ?
^ If you have Android, you simply have to root it to get the most out of it. If it's fast already, it will be faster.
If you read, I'm running CM7 and it flies on the SGSII.Quote:
