^^ How did you check for battery life improvements so soon? You need atleast 1 - 2days to gauge battery performance from full charge to zero?

^ heard its around 300MB.

I hope the battery life has improved because I didn't like the UI changes (no bounce in overscroll, bold font). The updated Swype insists on showing word suggestions in a box that keeps changing the input box size. And of course the new silent mode button change which is confusing.

Took me 5 minutes to update, but my Kies downloads the latest Fw automatically.

Nothing vanishes just take a backup for safety.

Well it's almost 13hrs and still 53% battery remaining...earlier my phone used to die in 12hrs...that's why I'm saying
You are enjoying the placebo effect of the update.

Replace the stock kernel with a decent one from xda,undervolt slightly...battery life will increase significantly.

Which version of kernel from XDA ? I guess undervolting results in frequent lockups and crashes on S2?

Thanks ryan!

I have used Siyah,speedmod,n.e.a.k and abyss...all are good in their own ways.

Speedmod is very stable but does not allow undervolting.

Siyah had some problem with download and cwm install from kitchen pro last time I checked.

N.E.A.K is relatively new...using it for two days only..feels good.

If you do not want to experiment with undervolting speedmod is your best bet.

No!It does not,when you know what you are doing.

as long as you are not setting minimum clock less than 200mhz you shouldnt have issues, and be careful when you are playing with voltages, i'd rather use governor presets if im not sure of what im doing

@Konquerror ,how long does this update take? KIES is crawling with the firmware upgrade stage !

KIES took 30 minutes to reach 30% and then "timed out" ...

Flash the firmware through Odin bro. It's much easier and works without any hassle.. ;-)

KIES download is automatic for everyone once Samsung released it for India.

Yeah my backup step failed, but took no more than 10 minutes.

Surprisingly quick compared to Samsung Wave days when I had to retry at least twice.
