I still cant update to KE7, KIES Showing This version of the device cannot be updated. Why its slow, keep it coming SAMSUNG!!!

ULTRA CAPSULE ALL THE WAY!

Guys, i am wondering, what data plan you guys use? I'm getting S2 soon, but don't know to buy it in maxis and tied to 12month contract or buy it alone from lowyat (or any other place) and then subscribe to internet plan digi/maxis? I've already have internet at home and office.  But no point having this phone or any other android phone without any internet plan rite....

So i have few questions hopefully can be answered.

1. If i buy this phone from maxis, 12month contract with data 1.5GB, the phone price will be RM 1599, so my monthly with 1.5GB will be RM78 + usage... rite?

2. If i buy the phone alone = RM2099 roughly. Can you guys share with me, what data/internet plan u use, from which carriers digi/maxis/celcom, how much per day/monthly bills you spent.

As i've mentioned, currently i have rm100+ internet bills for unify at home and free internet in the office, as for anybody else have the same situation with me, how do you manage your internet plan?

Thanks!!

Samsung Galaxy is the best for now!!

Yo dude, your post will summon Celcom.Axiata 

YES LA!!! I everyday hope this guy kena ban, finally gimme wait dou liao

Finally we can have some moment of peace... time for some champagne!

It will auto switch back? I tested yesterday and the phone...didn't turn back to 3G. Weird. Waiting for 5 minutes just to try out. Later I try again (during my smoke break) 

Anyway, UncleBenny & Noobi3...

Thank you!

Battery for sgs2 s**ks. I surf Facebook with 3G then from 96% to 86% within 10min

thats why i dont like ROM or theme with % battery, it's really psychology war. i prefer AOSP-look battery indicator on notification bar.. for me, as long the battery can last 10 hours, its much much better.

i dont blame sgs2 battery for eating the juice, coz i have lots of apps running background, i.e whatsapp, Latitude, GTalk, Google+, Go Launcher, smart taskbar etc.. they all come with the toughest consequence which is battery drainage!

Just back from Cheras Maxis Centre...
Also no stock !~
Beh tahan already =.=!

Really? hmm..might try angelom tonight ba...

Really like the litening lo...haha

try move your phone side way at the menu part. the screen will move too but hows the icon?

i attached a photo so easier to understand

LOL, so very true. Here the great idiot (or messiah, depending on your allegience) Jobs got the right idea by forcefully limiting stuff on the idiotphone. YES, we can do much less stuff on it, but on the other hand we can do it longer.

Android manufacturers on the other hand, is currently engaged in a war of specs, with little regard for battery life. It's like the Palm Winmo Symbian war all over again.

What they need to do is optimize. Optimize the OS for the hardware, the hardware to the OS. Problem is for us,  right now its up to US to optimize everything, which is NOT the ideal situation. We should be TWEAKING, not OPTIMIZING all the time.

But with everyone locked in rat race for survival these days due to new Android phones popping up every day, I don't think any manufacturer has the time to. Or they might just be lazy or afraid to front the losses of increased R&D. OR they're busy focusing on other areas, like looks (the SGS2 could have been 2x thicker with a much huger battery and I would have still bought it).

AND Google need to put slightly more stringent conditions for an app to be accepted in the market. Apps that crap out your battery need to at least be labeled as such, and badly coded apps should just be booted out. Not Apple style dictatorship, just more control.

In the end, the greatest thing holding back the green robot platform rite now, IMHO, is NOT fragmentation (which is, contrary to what I was told to think prior to this is very much a non issue), and it's not even the Market situation (it's really not THAT bad, it's no App Store but it's more than enough).

It's optimization and balance.

Moar fun times on a Saturday!

So, quick reviews are in order.

S-Line Grey Translucent - Cheap. Fit is okay and cutouts are acceptable. Side patterns are a great plus, as they add oodles of grip. The semi matte back means that it's not really a fingerprint magnet, and there's just enough transparent bits to show off the back of your SGS2. Buttons are stiff and hard to press though. Material likely to yellow over time. USB port a bit cramped, did not fit my USB-OTG wire without some adjustments.

Epikcase Jet Black - Cheap and generally similar to the above, except that it's glossy black and attracts fingerprints like moths to an open flame. The plain black feels and looks a tad boring. Has the the cramped USB issue too.

SGP Ultra Capsule - Except for two glaring faults and the fact that it's a fingerprint magnet, this is a work of art. Cutouts are examplary and the glittery finish feels exclusive. Buttons are super easy to use too. The USB port cutout is roomy and can fit everything.

Now, for the bad part - the thing is loose. Not so loose that your SGS2 will fall off, but if you're a like me, the looseness can be felt clearly and it WILL drive you nuts. Secondly, the lanyard hole is tiny and a hassle to use (I had to mutilate mine). Also, the corner hole is a disaster waiting to happen.

BUT, keep in mind we ARE technically using cases for the wrong phone as far as SGP is concerned. I'll be eagerly waiting for the world spec SGS2 cases from SGP.

SGP Ultra Optics - This is a WONDERFUL SP. It's even better then my old PowerSupport Matte on my old i4. It's darned clear and you never really see fingerprints on your screen. It's also matte enough to not reflect your own face while you're typing.

BUT, keep in mind that if you're the type of person to type while looking REALLY close at your screen (or just the particular type), the ultra optics have a very, very fine grid pattern to it, which is probably the microlense array itself.

On our not so retina screens, it's not really THAT noticeable however.

Samsung Battery and Charger - Samsung original korean spec batteries, with near field communications written on the back - and no it doesn't magically enable NFC lol. The battery charger also doubles as a stand, nice. I got from exportprive.com.

About rm20 ish IINM. Buy a lotta stuff sure worth it.

Guys, just want to clarify something. is it just me or is our phone suffering from death grip issues as well? im not talking about phone signal but wifi signal. even im close enough to the access point, just by griping bottom 1/3 of the phone will reduce the wifi signal tremendously. Heck even a light touch to that area also will compromise the signal. do any of you aware about this? if not maybe you guys can give it a try just to confirm? if indeed our device is suffering from this issues, can a phone case help to solve/reduce the problem?

eh??   


or

The default icon density is 240dpi - a 200dpi ) dot per inch )  will make your icons smallers ; all font sizes will be smaller - overall you get to see more space. So at a lower dpi - you can fit in more stuffs. However these might affects certain apps/widgets appearance. Most widgets will look awfully out of place
You can manually change the dpi using, say root explorer
Just go to system/build.prop - locate the value "ro.sf.lcd_density=" change it to 200 or any figure from 160 to 240 ( in 10's )

1. Refer page 1 on roms - check out the links or look itup at samfirmware.com where the rom builds are listed by country/region and by dates released
2. NONE - is up to individual user - test yourself as different roms has different specialities. Battery life - you need to have other efforts cannot rely on firmware alone - read page 1 FAQ on this subject

It only beeps when battery is fully charge at 100 % ; looks like you have a defective battery
You cannot remove this sound by default - some cook roms has disable this feature

Another new user here . Got the Samsung Galaxy S II at Samsung store in Gardens. RM2099, 2 years warranty. Seems to have quite a few stocks here as there were 3 customers ahead of me. Was expecting a pre-order reply, they had this sign at the cashier counter screaming big. But was surprised when they said they have stocks for sale.

At the moment, I'm more on the line of keeping the S2 naked (perhaps a good screen protector first). But I saw this Neo Hybrid case (with a back rubber coating). Thats pretty neat. Anyone seen this on Garage Sale or any shops?
