Read this, some examples: 'SGSII feels plasticky and kinda cheap..and the interface is too iphone-ish and not so creative and attractive...'  & 'I feel the LED for SGS 2 is abit cartoonish compare sensation. '

i really scare its price will drop like water in future if i buy this. zzzzz loss much

A word of advice for beginners ...... DONT DOWNLOAD AND UPDATE YOUR FIRMWARE VIA SAMFIRMWARE ...... I seen 3 fully bricked phone this week , all from there . Either something wrong with the .pit file or what , I dont know .... get from XDA , from the link provided by Benny in the 1st page

take out battery leave awhile, put it back and try again to enter download mode, press home+volumedown hold it, then only press power button and hold. i kena 2 times ad but both can enter download mode still.

seriously guys, if ur running windows 7 64 bit, chances are high it will fail 
better get a jig

Hello Hihihehe,

Glad to meet you here again in SGS2 thread........where is your old SGS now? Sold?

Like you guys, I prefer SGSII  thou
I thought this might be a common problem, but since it is not, most prob is the brightness then, haha.
Thanks for the advice! Hopefully I can join the club soon      

I cant find or open the dialer on SGS2. I tried to select contacts or phone but nothing lead me to the dialer. Any idea on how to open it?

Oh,...keep it as a spare phone loh...or give to your family members?

This is standard codes - works with any Samsung phone not only SGS II. Try again, maybe you mistype. After you finish typing, you will see immediately a silver background titled LCD TEST with 17 boxes of tests parameters
If it doesn't work at all, your phone has problem

i ordered long time ago..

5days to 1 week..

already rooted..???

Step 1: First download a file explorer that supports root for example you get the Root Explorer from Market.

Step 2: Navigate to /system and open default.prop with text editor, and add the following line of code:



Where 3 is the number of the default screen you want - 1. So default screen 4 => 3.

Step 3: Reboot your phone and it should work!
