QUOTE(llk @ Jun 24 2011, 03:09 PM) U can always revert back to original state to gain back the warranty Any source that says rooted phone cant get warranty claim ? Personally , I rooted all my Android whenever possible .... My SGS was running on custom ROM when i went back to claim for a faulty internal memory and not fogetting I fried my processor in my Omnia HD , playing with OC from HyperX , from stock 600 to 900 at that time , i was kinda hand itchy , i tried 1000  ...... For those occasions , I got no problem getting a claim from SME . Would appreciate if you could share your source for the new ruling that rooted / non stock firmware cant get claim coz from what I was told by the technician in SME himself , as long as the unit is not opened , sealed not broken , u r entitle for warranty claim . Hell , he n a few of his technician friends even asked for a copy of the HyperX firmware

Just a few hours and my request is already buried deep in this thread...
Ori SGS2 owners, can you please type *#1234# and paste the output here. If you can't be bothered to type them out, press home + power button to capture screen. Output picture is in /sdcard/ScreenCapture
Thanks!

QUOTE(Joker87 @ Jun 24 2011, 05:39 PM) I think every SGS2 has the yellow tint screen problem, at least the current and previous batch. It is only the matter of whether the user realize them or not. I think the pink spot camera problem is exist on every single one too, as usual, up to the user. If only you and a few people got that problem, it might be a unit defect. But when everyone has them, it is the phone problem/weakness itself.

As for pinkish spot in the camera , visit XDA under " general " section . Beside me , there r alot of other users confirming it's no longer there after firmware update . Some users r complaining hp auto rebooting which I personally do not encounter . Check your apps u installed b4 u blaming it on the phone . Handcent SMS , from personal experience , doesnt seem to work well with 2.3 ....... I keep getting FC after a while when there is alot of sms in it like 3000+ . I got this not only in SGS2 but in ARC , Tab Ginger and Streak Ginger .

Then you can either get the apk from Samsung Apps application on your phone. Or download the firmware update apk which I have attached to this post. The application should tell you if your camera needs the update or not. To get from Samsung Apps Click on Featured Tab then click New. Then choose the Galaxy S2 Camera Firmware update application. If you can't find it go to search and type 'camera' or something. Samsung Apps -> Categories -> Utilities and then "Galaxy S2 Camera Firmware Update" Heard the latest is OCEE09 as of a month ago Here is the link if u got problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread...ght=pink+cameraThis post has been edited by Noobi3: Jun 24 2011, 07:51 PM

QUOTE(OrangePillow @ Jun 24 2011, 05:58 PM) install vrtweaks to fix the lag browser That is main reason why I do not recommend this rom. Installed it and later have to fix quite few issues. I strongly suggest new users stay away from it. It is not exceptionally superior to any others. I find litening, AngeloM and Cognition are equally good roms

QUOTE(Noobi3 @ Jun 24 2011, 06:54 PM) U bought from sunnychai ?  No comment then ..... Good luck in your claim ...... Suggest u walk in to SME direct and ask instead of going thru a dealer if u r SME set . I know 1 in PJ beside Federal Highway as there r a few others which are actually collection center . If yours is AP , call the service center direct . PDA Gadget for 1 provide 1 to 1 exchange within a week period I don't know this seller but apparently quite few threads has unfavourable reports about his after sales service Added on June 24, 2011, 7:42 pmQUOTE(Joker87 @ Jun 24 2011, 07:39 PM) so i should go to where de SME ? or find the seller ask him bring me go the SME? if 1 to 1 exchange is get it on the spot or need wait 1? See page 1 post#1 , I have listed the service centers. DO it yourself if you want faster service This post has been edited by benny888: Jun 24 2011, 07:42 PM

I never buy anything from him b4 , only sold 2 SGS , SME to him as he offered the highest price for a used , perfect condition unit . . . . Sadly , i found out what he did with it  Added on June 24, 2011, 7:46 pmQUOTE(Joker87 @ Jun 24 2011, 07:39 PM) so i should go to where de SME ? or find the seller ask him bring me go the SME? if 1 to 1 exchange is get it on the spot or need wait 1? Sellers also need 2 send your unit back for warranty and u cant claim them for being slow as they got other ppl to attend to .... Instead of waiting , y dun u walk into SME direct and ask or give them a call to c if they offer 1 to 1 b4 u go there yourself This post has been edited by Noobi3: Jun 24 2011, 07:46 PM

My SGS was rooted and the Service Center did not even bother and process it 3 times for me free of charge a reflash of the rom ( since unit bricked ). I have 2 HTC , rooted flashed cooked roms - motherboard replace FOC too and both are AP sets). My ipod touch was jailbreak and refreshing latest iOS update bricked too - sent in to Machines - and reflash too FOC
