I dont flash or mod so I guess its stock rom (after the word gingerbread in the build number it says swkf1.

I get the h icon most of the time.

I watch vids while charging.yeah thats why its hot. Haha

And no illegal app.all from market n samsung app n game hub.

But my mobile internet still auto disconnects n no data is received when the icon 3g comes up (n at times I have h icon but only the uploading icon with the green light will light up n my internet go standstill because the yellow icon doesn light up) now I have to resign to switching data network on and off.

Hmm, seems like your place got a weak network reception. You could try to change your telco and see whether you can get much stronger network reception.
Or the other alternative way is to root your phone and get a different modem that suit for your place.
Unless you got some contract commitment to your telco, i suggest you try the first way. Buy a different telco prepaid card and see if it can solve your weak reception problems.
Hope this help. :-)

~~ lol ~~ You can start by transfering all your contact numbers from your old phone to your new shinny SGSII so you'll know who is calling when you're in the middle of doing something or playing games :-)

one more ~ still need to use screen protector?? even sgs2 using gorilla glass???

Thats totally depend on you. If you're quite a robust person then better put screen protector. Gorilla glass doesn't mean it cannot getting scratch. Only much harder than usual ordinary screen.

Wta smth bout CF 4.1. There are a few version of kernel and as state by Chainfire that i should find back the same kernel version as shown in the phone.
Say my phone kernel version is "2.6.35.7-I9100XWKF1-CL265340", so i should find bac the kernel tat match mine by referring to KF1, but i only found there is KG1 - KG7, and no KF version for 4.1.
so should i use KG1 version to CF? or there is no different between KF n KG, n only d no. 1 - 7 is the update improvement over the previous no.?

I'm reading on the xda thread, n this is smth i'm not sure. Advice will be appreciate. notworthy.gif
*
You can use XW_OJV_KF1 - v4.0_CMW4.zip to root your XWKF1. But that is for Android 2.3.3.
Why not you upgrade to Android 2.3.4 first. Flash XXKG5 stock rom then root using XX_OXA_KG5 - v4.1_CMW4.zip

Not necessary the best. It's just because KG5 is official release firmware while KG6 is leaked one. Though no harm done if he insist of using the KG6

Mine coming next week. I guess this is better over the HTC sensation in performance. The HTC sense 3.0 do looks cooler.

Does this mean SGS II battery cant last a day?
*
Performance wise, SGSII beat Sensation hands down.
Battery wise, on original stock rom with heavy user you can last 10 - 12 hrs. Non-stop browsing you get 6 - 8 hrs.

Yes, totally agree with you. Miss quite a few features actually. Like battery performance that can last forever, no headache controlling data to and fro in tha background while doing nothing. Data been used only while we actually uploading or downloading something.
Updating firmware was damn easy OTA.

I mite try jusy that
Now I have another problem. Aside from connectivity, my browser or skyfire like to crash. Any ideas why? It usually happena when im streaming but now it happens intermittently.
*
While you're on streaming and suddenly your signal drop or lost then surely your browser stuck. After a while it will force closed.

Try other telco sim card and see if there any improvement in your network reception and your browser.

Nah my browser crash even when im online (was downloading from market) but it usually happens when im streaming at utube or other video sites. so far opera seems okay but ill monitor. Altho I havent tried opera with video yet.

I live in keramat area. Last time I was using nokia n8 n my connection was with the same sim n package n never experienced the disconnection issue.
*
Yes i know, nokia never had problem with network signal.
You're staying at Keramat KL or Keramat Penang?
If in KL then might as well you try Umobile. It's cheap and had good coverage for KL area. Cost RM28 for one month with 500mb data + 100 min all network calls + 30 sms, all included and no hidden charges.

may i ask, as far as i knoe, root is different from jailbreak, if jailbroken iphone cannot be update to newer version of its ios, if still want update, it may be harmful to phone, erm if rooted android such as SGS2, would it effect the same thing?

imagine if newer version of android eg 2.3.7 come out, can it be updated on rooted 2.3.3 SGS2?
*
Sorry, i really dont know much about Iphone. Never use it ~~lol ~~. But for android you can always upgrade your firmware no matter if you're rooted or not. If new firmware come out then you just flash to upgrade it. You may lost your root if it an official one but then you can always root your kernel again. Nothing to worry about :-)

Im in keramat kl
Digi been really good to me but heck ill try umobile after this
Anyway is ke7 worth the update?
*
And why do you want to downgrade your firmware? I believe yours is XWKF1 right? That's Android 2.3.3. If you want to upgrade then go for Android 2.3.4. The latest official one is XXKG5 while the leaked one is KG6 or maybe KG7 already :-P

no wonder kies said mine was the latest firmware

Kies.?? You mean the old crappy Kies. Well good luck friend if you want to wait for firmware upgrading by using Kies. SME still haven't release a single updating while europe and middle east have got several releases already.
Maybe by the end of the year we can get update through Kies. But at that time other region probably at Android 2.3.5 already ~~ lol ~~

Bro, there's no OTA for SGSII if you mean using phone software update in setting. OTA still under testing stage. Not the same as nokia.
It's either you update manually through Odin or you have to wait for official release through Kies.

Set ringtones or get ringtones?
For set/change ringtones you go to setting > sound > phone ringtones (then pick your choice)


Added on August 10, 2011, 2:39 amFor sms you go to messaging > (left softkey) > setting > scroll down to notification setting and select ringtone :-)
