Help! I installed facebook but I don't want it to connect online without my knowing... I just want to use it when I want to... I don't want it to pop out notifications from time to time
Also, how to disable gmail chat? I added google account to get my contact list (which works perfectly), but that enables gmail chat and i dunno how to disable it.. Thanks! |

QUOTE(ohmlawx @ Jun 25 2011, 12:50 AM) open facebook, go back to the first screen, press menu & press setting Thanks... you are life saver set the "refresh interval" to never, untick notifications.   I also disabled gmail chat using the same way... hehe, used to iphone already, always forgot about the 'menu button'.. keep on looking around within the screen for 'settings' |

QUOTE(Blackberries @ Jun 26 2011, 06:16 PM) Hello ALL SGS-II people, coming from iphone 3gs user. Definitely go for samsung if you like freedom.I'm still contemplating whether or not to get the IPHONE 4 OR SAMSUNG GALAXY SII. Many many reviews that ive read obivously states that SGSII beats IPhone4. I have no doubts bout that. Anyway, my question is, would the 3GB data from MAXIS be sufficient for 1 month usage for a person who does alot of facebooking, and whatsapping? Because if i exceed the 3GB USAGE, ILL BE CHARGED A BOMB FOR IT. ): I dont know bout the android market, but is it possible to download viber application? like that in the iphone? (: Kindly reply thanks! Freedom includes: bluetooth transfer pics/songs/ringtones to other phones can just select an mp3 and choose 'set as ringtone' to use it as your ringtone (iphone can't do this SIMPLE thing) can use ur device as mass storage, copy mp3 into it straight away, i hate to 'sync' my mp3 to my iphone, i hate itunes, but that just me very customizable, from homescreen, to everything many 'custom' roms to play with, each are unique! definitely use android if you're slightly techie, and know what you're doing with tech devices iphone is just too boring!too much freedom to be listed in a single post! not to mention, the specs on samsung galaxy sii beats iphone 4 in every way. Even the iphone 5 that's coming out only has minor improvement. i use whatsapp all the time, and i'm using the maxis 100mb package... more than enuf for me.. not sure about facebooking though, to me 500mb is more than enuf... 3gb... u sure u can use that much? (unless youtube) advice from a user of both iphone and samsung galaxy sii... get this phone! =) |

QUOTE(Blackberries @ Jun 26 2011, 06:32 PM) Iori57 thanks alot for answering my queries, really appreciate it dude! ya, if you jump from nokia to iphone, you will notice a lot of 'obvious' functions you can do are missing.... I did when i move from n82 to iphone Well, for me, im a N900 nokia User, it's using the Maemo OS and it also has pretty much everything that SGS -II has. Only downside is that Maemo is not a developing os, hence its apps and games are just terrible. I hope Android has a better range of apps and games though. Are most of the apps free or something? Or do i need to purchase them? Is there something like "jailbreak" in SGSII though? (: yes android is the fastest growing thing now, it has quite some apps and most that i used in iphone i'm able to find it here.. just that it has less games compare to iphone. jailbreak is called 'rooting' in android world i think, i just started using 3 days ago lol still noob |

Flashed to Villain Rom 1.4!
The villain rom guide is so easy to follow.. recommend for noobs like me Get to learn how to use Odin, root the phone, and flash in one shot. The 'yellow triangle' appear in the middle of the process but after I done all 4 steps it disappeared though.. not sure what I did but oh well. |

After flashing to villain rom 1.4, and did all the steps to get kernel upgraded to XXKF4, seems to be working fine, but just now when I touch the back of the phone, the spot around the camera, feel very hot... anyone experiencing this? Normally it only heats up a lot when charging the phone... now not charging also

I installed a custom script to auto filter CELCOM.AXIATA's post in lowyat
he's obviously a troll seeing that he's constantly trying to swap his htc sensation with galaxy s II... don't feed the troll.. just ignore them and they will have no satisfaction |

QUOTE(ohmlawx @ Jun 27 2011, 09:53 AM) hai, i asked the question previously, but no people reply.. but after doing some research, skype is not available in Malaysia. but we can download it via market by using market enabler. to do so, 1. download market enabler at market 2. save current setting first 3. go to setting lists tab 4. choose another telco (i use us verizon) 5. long press the selection & select fake this provider now 6. u can search skype now after finish, u can restore back ur default telco by pressing restore setting QUOTE(tcmean @ Jun 27 2011, 09:59 AM) It's not available in Malaysia. No matter how you try it won't be showing up. You have to use Market Access/ Market Enabler to emulate to certain country's mobile service provider eg. T-Mobile US to get it in the market. oo thanks guys! |

QUOTE(Eiraku @ Jun 27 2011, 03:14 PM) Noice. Seems that I just abuse my device. My old iPhone 4 struggled to get past 10-11 hours on a single charge even WITH a battery pack (it lasted like 6-7 hours w/o one). I tried to slide my finger on the notification bar and... wah it works, lol din know got this feature! Is it stock feature or is it villain rom feature ah? coz i straight flash to villain haven't use stock much My SGS2, sans battery pack or extra battery or external battery, was dead in 4-5 hours lol. Running VillainLite 1.4 with most Samsung customizations taken out, brightness set manually through the notification bar slide method (very, very nice).  Got any other useful tips like this This post has been edited by iori57: Jun 27 2011, 03:43 PM |

QUOTE(yvliew @ Jun 27 2011, 04:25 PM) i dunno if anyone mentioned this or know this. There is way to capture screenshot now without third party apps that need root Just press in sequence Hold Home then + Power button. QUOTE(Bugeca @ Jun 27 2011, 04:37 PM) Maybe you already know this... haha read somewhere about they stealing iphone's idea about home + power button to take screenshot... if not also wouldn't know it..1. Double click home button will bring Voice Talk 2. Press and hold menu button will bring Google Search 3. You can add extra shortcuts on the camera interface (left side) didn't know the other 3... thanks for no.3, you mean add the shortcut at the top (the 2 empty slots) right? |
