only applicable when your headset supports A2DP or at least stereo headset la bro. easiest way is using the stock headphone =.=

bought my first apps abt 2 weeks back. that is also my 1st regret.

*sigh*

realised Samurai 2: Vengeance is not what I expected. its just hack and hack... i'm actually playing free games like Pocket Legends more than Samurai 2.

just sharing some more observations...

* i can't seem to find Bookmarks. dun seem to be a way to sync with my Google bookmarks (from Chrome). this is on stock Sammy OS. recall seeing this bookmarks on TF101 tablet.

* almost halfway into my billing cycle... 3G watchdog is reporting my usage as only 45mb or (1% of my 3GB quota). wah... i'm severely under-utilising my 3G internet... now, makes me wonder those who said they average like 4-5GB per mth... what the heck do you guys do with the phone?!?

I just got my SGS2 from Sunway Pyramid, FINALLY!, apparently they have many stock. The lady told me, this will be the last push for stock, and there is no more stock in Samsung warehouse. No idea what she really meant.

For a not exactly SGS2 related question, I would like to ask, what would be the best way to totally reset an android phone (Galaxy Ace) to the factory setting like how we first buy the phone? I would like to pass my Galaxy Ace to my gf, and would like to reset it.

TQ
*
if i m not mistaken & generally... factory reset + format memory card (external, if any)

thats what you get when you have wifi access always. i'm at home and i can live with 500mb. but i had to take 3GB plan cuz at my uni, wifi sucks. block this and block that. and how i'm suppose to download roms if like that. so yeah 3GB plan. planning to downgrade to 1GB next month after my Desire contract ends.
*
ya, i guess so... most of the time, download the gameloft demo games using wifi.

but at home, sometimes i still prefer to use 3G data... faster than my streamyx (512k). wink.gif

hmmm... wait, was that Google Talk (with video). sorry... getting myself confused now...

Hi all,

I wanna clean flash to Litening 4.1. What i do:

1. Factory reset
2. Wipe cache
3. Wipe dalvic

Question:
if i Format the Internal SD, will it delete also the Operating System and make my phone totally malfunction?
*
u 'delete' the OS when you flash... not when you wipe the SD. SD stores only data.

Just got a S2 today.

Awesome phone..........smile.gif

1. If i wanna transfer contacts and calendar and notes from my old phone to S2, how can i do that?? Bcoz i cannot find Transfer function in S2.

2. What software should i use to sync to my outlook? Is it Kies ?

3. Can sync Contact, Calendar with MicrosoftOutlook?
*
#1. depends on your old phone... you may need to sync to outlook first and then outlook to sgs2. or, what i did... sync old phone to outlook, export from outlook and import into Google Contacts. this process, including cleaning up my contacts, took me 2-3 weeks but i'm now very happy with my Google Contacts.

#2. din really try it, but ya, if i recall reading, its kies though i dunno why it din work for me -- sync from phone to outlook.

#3. you should be able to. but android is all about Google! it took me a while to also populate my Google Calendar -- helps that it can also import birthdays from Google Contacts. all sync to SGS2. plus, effort will be worth it since next time you get another android phone, just activate and sync.

if they have bothered to read a bit... they would already realised the phone's already been released for MONTHS!!! it's so hot selling that there's stocks shortage all over. do you think after a few months, this is still the first batch?!? you mean to say that you think samsung factory's 1st batch is like.... 500million uinits or something? common la... guys, when posting on forum, dun make yourself look silly... we know its your right... but still...

any class higher than class 2 is ok edy for a smarphone for read speed. the diff is write speed, which i dont care. i can wait lol transfering files a bit longer.

and when recording 1080p or 720p(1080p preferably), need class 10 for best performance, else use the phone storage, then transfer it to external SD.
*
i have been doing some video recording (720p) direct to the external card -- sandisk class 4. so far, so good.

as for 1080p... i realised i might not need such high recording... lol... 720p is already good enough for me... for now. smile.gif

tested and working and its currently the game that takes up most of my gaming time... pocket legends. this is considered 3d game ar? smile.gif

but seriously, if we wanna share and compile a list of 'compatible' apps and games, i think we need to have some common understanding... like ROM used. ideally, stock Sammy ROM la. otherwise, some ROM might allow the apps to work better... but not on stock Sammy ROM. then we'll end up with posts like:
A: How come B reported its working on his phone?
B: I'm using GAMERZ ROM.
A: Aiyah, no wonder la... i thought my sgs2 rosak, so traded in for iphone instead.

but it would seem like this model is probably geared towards ice-cream sandwich OS, which supposedly can do away with physical home button.

ya, it was buntutwoman who first dropped hints on this...

just dropped by to say i'm fine and wow, this place is a mess.
so hi there all sgs2 users, are you satisfied with your new gadget ?

allow me to break some news to all of you before i get tied down again.
there is a newer more powerful galaxy series smart mobile in the works and development is so far going pretty smooth. there is no name at the moment only a code batch number which i got. i got a sneak preview of it though it is still very much incomplete. there are plans to rename this new range of smart mobiles and all is being in discussion. for now i can tell you that the screen has the ability to flex but i still don't see any pictures or graphics on it.

will keep all of you updated as much as possible and meanwhile for those who are thinking to wait and adopt this instead of the current sgs2, happy waiting another 14 months.

sexy or what?

Got mine also yesterday but from different seller.
Want to choose between red or silver, but decided to take silver..

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
noticed its also got the cut-out at the top right corner... means this cover was designed for the korean model which has for TV antenna there. i learnt that recently after i bought my case.

told myself... next time before i order, i will ask if there's a cut-out there... coz it means less protection in that area and if really suay, drop and hit that part... habis...

for those who are always concerned and worried about sgs2 getting WARM, HOT, OVERHEATING, etc... i found a solution. it's a patch that you can apply to the phone. i've tried the patch before and it helps lower the temperature to about the normal level!
