My S2 sometimes the internet connection seems not to be responding. Mostly in my office I can see the H of 3G symbol however I'm unable to open any webpage. I need to deactivate data and activated it again in order to browse the web again.

Is it a firmware issue? someone who encounter this before can share a tip to fix this
*
i did mention something similar for me before...

for me... in office, i have both wifi and 3g. but as we know, wifi will be the default and take over. however, usually after a while, the wifi connection won't work. like you... webpages won't load. games can't connect to server. i know the wifi still works coz notebooks connected to it can surf, etc...

so, similar to what you do.. turn off wifi and turn it back on and it works.

i m not sure if its just me or what... coz no one else reported facing the same thing.

Phone stolen(thief break in house). any idea how to track? freaking regret dint install d samsung tracker software.

any ASAP reply will be much appreciated. TQ

if you din register with samsung dive, then dun think there's much that can be done. honestly, i dun think i've ever heard of phones getting stolen and recovered using the tracking softwares. if misplaced phones... yes. stolen phones... never heard of a single happy story.

if you have bought the phone from SenQ... there's a chance you might be able to claim -- depending on the warranty you purchased... check this thread:
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1985800

and extracted from the same thread:

for those who have owned and used the phone for more than 1 month... here are some Qs for you.
* do you regret your purchase?
* would you recommend it to others?
* are you planning your next replacement (for sgs2)?

for me...
no regrets. yes, actively recommending it to the point ppl think samsung is paying me. next replacement? nolar... hoping to change only in 5yrs time.

Trust me, your blue OLEDs will burn out within 3-4 years. If you're lucky.

As for me, already Nexus Prime VS iPhone 5 in my mind (wallet can support or not lain cerita). And if Nexus Prime really come with HD reso screen, then no contest lar - retina can go die lol.

@maks_pain: Fairly simple really. I'll post a screenshot tut later.
*
i think the screen burning out is an interesting thing since the smartphones are the rage only in the past 2-3 years.

on normal use, my screen brightness only set at 10% (lowest). so, 5yrs possible?

Thanks for the quick response guys, I appreciate it smile.gif

It's been a bit of a bumpy ride since I switched over to the "dark side" (used to have an iPhone tongue.gif) but hopefully this firmware update will get rid of the annoying battery problems.
*
please dun expect the battery to last like 2 days... or even be on par with iphone. coz... with android, you can have things running in background, etc... the key is to have the right understanding and expectation... and then manage the battery.

I'm just expecting it to last one day on medium use, with GPS off and 3G on for most of the day. That's not unrealistic, is it? Cause right now I'm only getting about 12 hours, with Android OS and Android System taking up a fair bit of battery. Flashing from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 should at least help, right?

Did you read official thread page 1 FAQ on battery issues n management.  My phone with 3g on 24/7 with active data download every hour email, tweet, RSS n call/SMS n browsing average 2 hours can last me 10-12 hours
learn how to manage your apps. If u dunno read the official thread for guide

and again, depends on what you mean by 1 day... if from the time you leave home and get back... what you currently have should already be just nice, no? smile.gif

for me... my phone's plugged in whenever possible.

another thing to consider...

many ppl say... moderate use. heavy use. light use. all these terms are relative, imho.

i consider myself a moderate user... but am i really a moderate user? here's what i have running:
* tweetdeck refresh every 15mins -- 1 FB account, 2 twitter, 1 foursquare
* google reader... almost 10 different sites. hmmm... dunno how often it refreshes now...
* gmail... sync email from 5 accounts.
* browsing about 2 hours per day
* gaming (requires internet) about 2-3 hours including games like pocket legends and inotia
* viber and whatsapp -- as and when got message, reply
* sms and calls -- not that much but still comes to say... 10-20 sms and 15mins of calls per day?

and dunno what else runs in background like that silly wifi sharing, etc... dun forget, GLU games also run in background.

see... this is what i meant... we got no definition of moderate or heavy or light or whatsoever.

i always thought i'm moderate...

so to those who say "my battery dun last on moderate use", your statement dun really mean anything... last how long? what is moderate...

*sigh*

sad to know i'm heavy user... as though i m addicted to phone. lol...

not surprising since they dun have exclusive anymore and their plan is not attractive.

the only thing is... whether ppl got good digi reception at their regular place... if got, i dun see why ppl dun wanna opt for digi package. but if coverage is bad... then ya, no choice.

heck, i think even celcom got sgs2...

how come my whatsapp cannot see my contact's name, some can see, some can't, while viber can?

Any solutions? smile.gif

because whatsapp only lists all contacts who have installed whatsapps.

viber has got the option to let you view ALL contacts or only contacts who installed viber.

either that... or all your contacts really did install viber. smile.gif

To tell the truth, my style of using this phone is quite erratic. At times when i got mood, i use this phone non-stop until batt dried after 6 hours. Sometime i just let it sit idle with only a little call and sms only then my batt can go nearly 5 days ~~ sigh~~
You can call me an erratic user ~~ lol ~~

Sure can see simcard contact's
launch phone
select contacts/more /display options n select SIM

ok, i think i have the same thingy... i dun get a sim card option.

from contacts -- menu -- more -- display options...

for select contacts to display, i see only:
* phone
* google account
* whatsapps
(blah, blah...)

no SIM card option.

added:
from contacts -- menu -- import/ export...

i see SIM CARD option there. one can import or export the sim card contacts.

when click import from sim card, it will ask import to phone, google, etc...

so, hope that helps. again, this is Android/ Google... Should fully experience it... Sync with Google. smile.gif
