hi all,

been reading this since the first version but still extremely confused regarding rooting and everything even though ive read alot! sigh need more time to understand i guess, which is the easist one to understand and do? and also after rooting will the phone perform alot better than if i don't root it?

also, i tried to change the wallpaper on lockscreen but its so annoying because the picture has to be resized and then only a small portion of the entire picture can be shown, any advice on how to get around this? is there an app for that? saw someone few pages back had a full picture for lockscreen, how is that done?

sorry for all silly questions, but i'd really really appreciate all your advice!

aside from that, loving the SGSII, best phone i ever had, coming from htc and iphone 4 smile.gif

Rooting is not a must but it allows u to have a full control of your hp such as moving files around in the phone's sytem .... Easier way to put it , take SGS2 as a comp . Without root , u can only access a certain files in c:\ just like how u use a computer in cybercafe while with root , u have the whole access to everything in a c:\........ However , if u r not much into doing anything to customised your hp like changing your battery icon , font size , startup animation etc . . . . , u can forget about rooting as it doesn't do much

For wallpaper , get 1 that is for your hp's resolution . Your wallpaper will appear small as it is not 4 the screen's resolution . Try dling SGS's wallpaper . Another option to use your wallpaper of your choice is to go to makret and dl an app called "multiPicture Live Wallpaper " , once installed , look under " Live Wallpaper " .... From there u can set different wallpaper for your screen or u can load a whole album for it to change from time to time .

R u in a car or outside under a clear sky ? Some car tints make the GPS reception very weak , even a Smart Tag is not able to be detected . The good thing is such tinting is very good under a hot sunny day

Fastefix works for SGS2 ? Havent tried it but it didnt work for 2x and there was a big " huuhaa " over it in XDA .
Another method is by using " Root Explorer " , navigate to system/etc/gpsconf ..... Open the file under " Open in text editor " and change the NTP_SERVER = my.pool.ntp.org ( source)..... " Save and exit " while your original file is saved under "gpsconf.bak " ... Reboot .... 5 sec for indoor locking compared to 1 min b4 editing the file
*phone have to rooted*

Try testing outside your car , if its working and locking fast , means your tinting is giving problem , not your device

really won't scratch?  hmm.gif

The Galaxy S II screen is made out of Gorilla Glass and for those who don't know, Gorilla Glass is a screen technology that makes the screen almost indestructible sans taking a hammer to it. Don't do that by the way! Scratches, nicks and cracks are a thing of the past; It is great for the device and for your nerves if you are prone to dropping handsets.

Ya right ..... Trust me , its not so durable , manage not 2 scratch but cracked mine on the Streak . Or , the screen is intact but the LCD beneath cracked

use odin to semi-brick your phone if you like to syok syok click checkbox..


Added on May 26, 2011, 7:58 pmseriously, odin is easier if you know what you are doing.
u need to have:
- driver properly installed (easily dealt with by installing kies)
- knowledge to enter Download Mode
- knowing which checkbox (not) to check.

with odin, u don't need to wait for official ROM release, can even flash custom rom with it, easily.

+1 .... If u r good with Odin , Jig is avoidable as it not needed at all unless its a very very serious case ( cant reset counter of course )

Oh new tricks, he mentioned about WEstern Union, this is the message he sent to me
larry says (21:25):
You are not paying us until you recive your phones.
this is the best way for us to deal. Not thats we can`t deliver to you and you recive and make payment but due to past experience. we need to know if you have the money. and we have a method in which we can use and confirm then we ship to you. you will have to make a Payment with western unioin is this way or form

larry says (21:25):
Senders name ................Your name Senders Addresss........ your address Receivers Name............... Your Name or your relatives name Recivers Address................Our Address so immediately we confirm from western union on phone thats you have made the payment , we will then ship to you and when the package deliver . you will then resend the money in our accountant Name.
*
A fren of mine got his N8 this way b4 ..... Same as what u said , pay to western union to show u got money , receive the parcel and then release the payment ... Prob is , halfway in the middle , when u r about to receive the parcel , he will tell u to make payment to collect it . His reason is by the way , he will know u r gonna pay him , not running away after u take the parcel . He will then give u some BS assurance like he already trusted u by sending it to u without payment from u , y cant u trust him back , blablabla . So , for most ppl , parcel in the courier company , shows that he is genuine seller . So my fren release the fund to him and he went and collect his N8 after the seller release the parcel to him once he receive the payment ..... Ya , nice price actually , RM700 for a N8's box with stones
