If u get it from uk, does it come with internstional warranty? Am in uk now, thinking of getting one... Hmmm....

Which version is it here in uk?
*
So far only 1 version available. As for warranty ask from the shop. Not sure if there is still stock but by next week the next badge will start pouring in. Go to Carphonewarehouse (£495) to get £5 cheaper. Phone4u (£499.95), Three (£499.99).

Benny, if we flash back to the stock kernel does that mean that we are basically "unrooting" it. If so, do we lose what we can do with a rooted phone? Eg. run Market Enabler which require SU.

I might as well ask, can we upgrade our firmware OTA or we have to use ODIN?

Thanks!
*
After rooting with insecure kernel and flash back the stock kernel you will not lose your root. As for FW, KIES is such an awful way to upgrade (at least for me) so I would suggest to use ODIN. Straight forward method, no hang, no half way breakdown when installing (ie kies. LOL). Basically you can upgrade using this two method.

Thanks. So the only reason to flash back to the stock kernel is to lose the yellow exclamation mark during boot up? biggrin.gif

Yup and also up to date kernel. laugh.gif

Hi guys, I have a question regarding ODIN.
I know I have to put the phone in DOWNLOAD mode.
After that I connect the phone to the PC and run ODIN.

After that, what do I do?
Will ODIN automatically detect that I have a SGS II connected via USB and then download the latest firmware automatically or do I have to download the firmware @ Samfirmware.com (http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i9100.htm). If I have to download it before hand, I know it's a tar file and I should not untar it right?

Also, what about the checkboxes in ODIN? Which do I need to click?
Thanks in advance!.

i think the super1click only root for the KDD firmwire...correct me if i wrong...
Other way is using supercurio for automatic rooting forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1058
then after that flasf with stock kernel. .
*
is the same. flash the insecure kdd kernel, obtain root then flash back to KE2 kernel or whatever kernel you want.

In Korea they use more card than any other country so is wise to put everything in one place. It may not be your cup of tea. biggrin.gif

Step by step using super1click correct me if i understand wrongly
1flash insecure kdd kernel
2root with super1click
3flash to KE2 firmwire
4flash back to KE2 stock

Step by step using supercurio
1flash KE2 firmwire
2flash supercurio rooting
3flash stock kernel KE2

hope pro pro can give comment n update. .
*
Using superoneclick:
1)Flash KE2 firmware if you're in KDD or KE1 FW.
2)flash insecure KDD kernel
3)root with superoneclick
4)flash back to KE2 stock kernel not firmware
5)DONE.

One question, the SGSII MHL port looks like a microusb to me, does this mean i can use my charger with a microusb head to charge it?
*
Yes you can use any micro usb to charge it but it is not advisable to do so. It will damage your battery as the usb produce different voltage it seems. lol.

Noted some earlier review battery life is disappointing due to suspect android os flaw. But looks like owners are happier now with KE2 update since no more complaints these few day on this thread, am I right?

A bit hestitate now whether to buy an AP set since rumor for local set is tegra...
*
I think the flaw is not android os, even with high % i find it doesnt drain my battery. Another reason I might think causing this battery drain is cell standby even-though with less % used but when the time without signal it using 100% cpu.

Yesterday I manage to get 25hours. Play fruit ninja for a few good hour (Girl love to play that) and hours to customise my homescrren with widgets. haha.. In the end is up to how you use it. biggrin.gif

I think what he meant is skype is removed from market for Malaysia. So far there is no skype video call available yet. Only Google Talk. biggrin.gif

QUOTE(Teng N @ May 17 2011, 05:27 PM)
Agree with you. Maybe just some kind of trick..... but if I not mistaken Samsung did announce some asian countries will get Tegra set.
*
I did read some article some time months ago that Asia continent will get Tegra set, Europe & US will get Exynos. I can't confirm this is true but will need to wait and see.
