rule of thumb, make sure you close your odin and run again each time you try to flash something to reduce failing rate. make sure when you are in download mode first then only connect the cable to your pc/laptop and make sure that odin detects your phone (ID:COM will turn yellow)

this ROM might not be compatible with most of the SGS2 especially europe or other international version. better download other rom such as the XXKG6

to all Android users, please check your facebook account, go to the top right of the screen, click on Account, then click on Edit Friends, then go to the far left of the screen and click on Contacts. All phone numbers are published. Please repost this on your Status, so your friends can remove their numbers and thus prevent abuse.

to remove all phone contacts that synced with FB, go here:

not you too doh.gif  it's a normal thing la, if you visit their profile and click info, you can see their number also, it just lists down those who have put their phone number in their profile, its been there a long time
*
i think you dont understand how or what it sync. it sync all your phonebook contacts including your china gal's contact to your FB account. There is no prompting of asking permission from user and definitely violating our privacy.

i got 200++ contacts in handphone, my fren list in fb got around 160 ppl; those both in my hp contact and fb contact got around 100 ppl. however i can oni c 12 ppl sharing their phone number. check properly before throwing a grenade into the forum and spread the phobia. not everyone will go and c whether izit true or not, and most of them will jz share this one and make this thing become a deep shit. doh.gif
*
i am just sharing this info to those who is concerned about their privacy. if you have no issue with this or not affecting you, then just ignore it. Most of us are ignorance, obviously we dont know anything about privacy. If you or anybody choose to be one of them, no one can stop it. whether i am throwing grenade to spread phobia, guess you have no right to say so because we are free to throw anything in the forum, especially something that beneficial to SGS2 community (at least to those who are concern about their privacy)

oh man and you still doesnt get it huh? those ppls u saw are those who willingly share their contact numbers, but doesnt necessarily mean that everyone can gain access to it, but only those they permitted unless they set it to "show it to all". i dun reli wanna continue on this flame, but if u wanna share something at least go and source it and see whether it is genuine or not before doing so. if u still think that you doesnt do anything wrong, then just let it be. we cant expect everyone to grow up since some will halt the growth and worst decline doh.gif

i guess you got it totally wrong. facebook app sync your entire phonebook contacts from your device. meaning if you have bank account number or password that save in your device as contact, it will be synced and kept in FB database. if you are ok with this, then ignore what i said here.

hmm okayy

we can expect to buy a totally new sealed unit from the shop right?

how are samsung's touch screen phones in general anyway? are they durable?
*
Yes you should be able to get a brand new unit from shop. Samsung is the world largest android phone manufacturer and they are currently rank number 1 in terms of android market share. Hence their product should be reliable otherwise it won't be number 1

formal? how u define it  blink.gif i like google+ coz
1) the app i can auto upload the pics i take right away, fb dam troublesome to upload
2) google+ hangout, hanging out with 10+ friends and chatting/do sohai stuffs = AWESOME
I understand u meant good to share, but it's also important to make sure what you share is legit, try sharing this in /k/ u will get flamed for more than 5 pages, at there source is the most important.
read the facebook app again, facebook app syncs facebook contacts INTO your contacts, not the other way round.
first you are contradicting yourself, to root/flash=lost warranty, so u want root but dowan lose warranty = impossible, budden most of the time samsung service center dun give a damn ur set root or flash or ap, they will still fix for you.
1. doesnt matter
2. i already answer you =)
3. lite-ning for beginners, its a no-wipe rom, dont go and try villian yet.

nice white screen white box u got there  tongue.gif
sad thing is the screen so small, would rock if you connect it to large tv using mhl, actually not only ps3 controller, other controller also works geh, but if u ad got ps3 controller, then its better la, enjoy your portable ps1/gba/snes
*
see screenshot. it actually imports your phone contact to FB. some of us have corporate contact in our device and i am sure for those who are working in corporate environment, they are very sensitive about this. most of us are not aware of this and if this proof from FB itself is not good enough then i got nothing to say.

i know exactly what you're talking about. I saw my whole phone contacts appear in that section. But can other people actually view your contacts? cause i cant seem to view my friends'
*
other people cant view but you never know when your FB account is been hacked, of some hackers hacked into FB or FB itself is using it for mobile advertising. or worse still, sell your contacts to those who is willing to pay for it. if you want to explore the virtual world, you better know what or who you are dealing with. put it this way, prevention is always the right move.

if you're talking about account being hack then that's another thing already la. It will only be an issue if right now people can view your contacts without hacking into your account.
*
Coming from corporate background, most of us are not comfortable to have our ceo, cmo or vp contact number sync into social networking like fb or etc. Most of us do not even aware that fb actually sync our device contact into fb and obviously don't care about it. When your account is being hacked or being used by unauthorized party, then it will be too late for you to regret.

I am just trying to proof my point that fb actually sync our phone contact without our consent and if anyone finds this is irrelevant to you, then you can just ignore it.

Guess you never heard of facexxxx (better don't disclose the name in public). I can easily hijack somebody fb account using this app

From Maxis - firmware is Asian ( DX, or DZ). From retail is same if is from SME. If is 3rd party import than firmware is different region. AFAIK most 3rd party imports are from Europe
You want peace of mind/security of claims - get from SME or from Maxis
There is no difference on rooting methods and flashing. You can flash any country firmware/modem on your set if you wish

Uncle Benny,

i think its a bit unfair to other telco. why only limit to Maxis? what about Celcom or Digi? smile.gif

Hi All,

Just an update on the status of my battery, i did recalibrate AGAIN.

I was able to find out that the culprit was LAUNCHER PRO. After removing it, i did the same thing, sleep around 11:30 PM - 06:30 AM my battery just lost 5% and im happy now!  thumbup.gif

not sure why launcher pro will drain my batt that much.. and also my display is now 33%  rclxms.gif

Running on STOCK ROM..
*
i have been using Launcher Pro since my days with SGS1 and i never encounter any battery drain. My battery usually will drop average 2% over night with data on. I think Launcher Pro might not be the real culprit. Suspect could be your widgets.
