QUOTE(wkwong77 @ Jun 28 2011, 09:03 AM) Yes, I press and hold. It only show Samsung keypad and swype. No other selection. Added on June 28, 2011, 9:06 am1 more thing, I found that my Maxis data connection always stop -even the icon missing sometimes. I check with handphone shop. They said is Maxis problem and this happen since last month. Anyone experience this? Is this Maxis problem or my SGS2 problem? Any better Phone modem suggest can flash through ODIN? Did you tick Chinese keyboard in settings/languages Just change the simcard is best test to verify. or get a prepaid other Telco to test. This will be better than guessing Added on June 28, 2011, 9:14 amQUOTE(ame904 @ Jun 28 2011, 09:12 AM) tanx uncle benny..wil give it a try..just to comfirm..to freeze we hav to use titanium backup pro rght?..is there any app act similar like titanium backup?

QUOTE(twenty6 @ Jun 28 2011, 09:23 AM) Is there any way that I can sort the apps alphabetically when you press "Application"? There is no option to do that. The only way is to sort them manually. Default touch wiz UI - no such choice Use 3rd party UI eg launcher pro, adw, zeam etc for this

QUOTE(llobak @ Jun 28 2011, 10:59 AM) Hi Uncle Benny, Do you mind to let me know what is the SNS## thingy does? I tried to google but too many things pop up. just wanna know what is it before i freeze it. My wild guess is SNS stand for "social networking service" right? so by freezing this service, what do we lose? Thanks. If the answer is too long maybe you can direct me where I can read up about this? Thanks All these relates to social hub/networking etc - I don't use at all as I prefer to sue IM+ and the individual apps. As long as you don't use Samsung Social Hub it is ok to freeze it Added on June 28, 2011, 11:25 amQUOTE(tyss @ Jun 27 2011, 10:28 PM) Hi, i want to root my phone. which kernel should i use?

QUOTE(dude06 @ Jun 28 2011, 11:34 AM) Hi All, Finally tested the Papago and I installed GPS test as well. It is kinda strange that the GPS does NOT lock up. I put it outside which have very good open area but on the few tester I tested, it can only view the Sat but does not lock up for more than 20 mins. When Papago finally lock up, it will get disconnected frequently and my accuracy is more than 150feet. Anyone facing this problem? Appreciate opinion and advise.. Tq in advance  Is your 3G on ?? Don't worry about data usage - is very low as it will assist in the GPS lockup My Papago X5 lockup within 3-5 secs no matter where I go. Sygic Aura is even better always immediate to most 2 secs

QUOTE(yehlai @ Jun 28 2011, 02:21 PM) Anyone have tried under volt with stock clock speed? Any particular reason ; I always do this on all my androids - mainly to save battery life. Slight underclock by 50-100 is always safe. Just have to monitor to see any side effects and if so, adjust back slightly up

all purchaes apps are tied to your gmail account. as long as you sign in market using same id you will not be charge. you can have several android n still use same gmail address the app download will not be charged. it doesnt matter what rom or root you are on. only apple control max 5 devices for 1 app no control for google yet

QUOTE(kazama82 @ Jun 29 2011, 07:06 AM) had install sygic gps but to activate, it asked for product code..is it our imei? When you make a purchase, SYGIC will send you an email with a 16 digit product code. Then you need to activate it either through internet or manually ( its website has the details how to do it ) : enter product code, device code ( imei) and you wil be given another 12 digit activation code. When you launch the app - it will show 7 days free trial - input in the 12 digit code and is registered

I have already mentioned several posts up there is no limit yet how many devices you can install. as long as you sign in market with same gmail id you can redownload it any number of times on unlimited phones. unlike apple it is limited to 5 devices. you pay for your app only one time

QUOTE(abe_mad @ Jun 29 2011, 10:35 AM) The overheating not a big issue right? I did notice mine was also 'warm' even on the surface after 15 minutes of gaming sessions - Stupid Zombies. (only realised when answering a call). But then, within 5 minutes after, its cool down again. it is an issue if you wish to make it an issue as for me having use several Android it is not an issue. its warmness comparable to my previous htc incredible s at times slightly warmer those who used to bberry n symbian will say is hot. the thinness of the phone contribute to it too. anyway u get used to it. I remember my first nexus one I felt hot too vs BLACKBERRY n windows phone. overtime I get use to it

heat buildup is fast if you use phone long on gaming, gps and as a WiFi hotspot. same as my other androids normal usage is ok. if anyone concerned about its thinness and heat get the bulkier phone many choices available. the sgs II is not a perfect phone. there is none in android. there is only one and is Steve job iPhone quoting him " the best smartphone in the WORLD" so if you are looking for one get iPhone4 and be slave to Steve jobs

Unlike some others, I have never been impressed with the iphones, having used the first 2g till iphone 4. They just don't meet my needs. And Steve Jobs is getting to behave like a devil always thinking he is the best and any others are second grades. The iphone 4 I used only less than a month - at least the earlier series 3-6 months. I always believe in being fair and I do not just listen/read - I spend money to buy it to test and see for myself how " great" it is. So it is just too bad , iOS does not impress me but that DOESN't make it inferior to others. But I do believe with iOS5 ( which comes in too late ) , the iPhone series is waking up to its competition
I respect other user's decisions on their choice of smartphones, whether is Windows, Symbian , Android or iOS.
We are just mere consumers and I believe most of us are not even stock holders in Apple or Google - so one should not go overboard declaring superiority of one platform. The platform that meets your needs that is one best choice. One has no right to tell another off just because he thinks differently and has a different perception of value. Those who think they are smarter than others are actually not. I know this very well , seeing so many of such types of personalities in my 40 years of work. Such people in my organization will never move up
The money is mine, I choose to spend on what I deem best for me - it might not be the best in the world. Why condemn one phone /one platform over another unless one gets pleasure out of it ?? What is the purpose - I find it just plain stupidity when passion overcome sense in comparison discussions. Doing comparisons is fine but not to point of condemnation of the product and worse its users - such only just shows immaturity. Along same lines, I have always being asked why I just drive a small car when I can easily even afford to drive a BM or a Merc - simply , that is not my needs. My choice of cars maybe make me look foolish ?? No , the person who so judge me is stupid and foolish. My needs is more on a big comfortable house, which is more important than a nice flashy car.
