Hi Guys
Well I got my samsung galaxy s2 last weekend. Im coming from an apple 3gs. All in all i love my new fone, unless apple pulls something special out there bag with iphone 5/4s im probably going to stick with andriod for a bit :-D.
I thought it might benefit a few people reading these forums if i keep a little diary of my experiences with the fone. So thats what im going to do. For the next week or so im going to post daily diaries of my experiences with the fone.
Day 1 - Thursday 6th June '11
Usage:
So last night before i went to bed i put my phone on charge as i always do. Today woke up with 100% battery and ready to go.
So i took the fone to work with me today as normal. (Note i work a 9 to 5 mon to fri job). Didnt use it much today at work. All in all i checked 3 facebook notifications that popped up and i let 2 calls ring out (0845 sales call numbers). Played about 10mins on a SNES emulator at lunch, playing mario cart.
Got home at about 6pm. Downloaded Lets Golf from the Gameloft hub and play one round of the demo game. Then spent about 20mins on the andrion market just browsing for any decent apps.
Then lastly i spent about 30mins browsing on the internet. Note i have wifi turned ON all day, GPS turned OFF all day, and the fone has been on silent.
Battery reading after above usage from 100% charge - 31%
Hmmm... lol. First impressions if im being totally honest, im not very impressed. But, i still have hope, ive only had the fone for a few days and ive read it takes a few charges/discharges to get the battery to its normal operating performance, so hopefully it will improve.
Quadrant score for the day: 3375 (Note, i always clear the running apps before running the benchmark)
Good points of the day:
1. Phone has been snappy as ever. Very very fast in wizzing around the UI and the different applications, no crashes, freezing or restarts.
2. NoLED! Got that today and its brilliant! Its so good infact i would rather have this application that an actual LED light. Great app.
Bad points of the day:
1. After my 30min browser session my fone got very hot, to the point where i thought something was actually wrong with the fone. Not sure why it got so hot while web browsing as i cleared all running apps before the session. This is probably the one big issue i have with this fone at the moment.
2. Screens touch interface seems a little over sensitive. I found a few times today accidently clicking on a link within a web brouser for example when i was trying to swipe across the web page. Not too fused about this though, just something to note.
3. Lets Golf game - a little stuttery at times, for example when the camera zoomed over the golf green from one end to the other. Its not really bad, just enough to notice. Its probably more noticable because everything else so far has been so snappy and fast (and im guesing the game is probably not optimised for dual core phones). Again nothing major, just something that stood out and worth noting.
No other bad experiences to note.
So thats it guys. i'll keep posting daily and hopefully my experiences be of benefit to some of you guys. I'll try and keep these as short as pos.
If theres anything you want me to include within my updates just ask and i'll add it in. :-D
(Note, ref bad experiences, or anything i put within the diary, im not trying to use this forum as an oppotunity to pick fault with the fone or anything like that, im just sharing my own user experience).
