Anybody know about using proxy on our sgs2?

the proxy in settings is for your web browser only, and it doesnt affect the apps, so far there is not a single app that could acomplish this, tried alot times bcoz my university uses proxy for wifi vmad.gif

anyone here knows how to share/transfer files/folders between 2 androids?...or any link to guide me there?...cant find it in the 1st page..
*
Got a few methods to transfer between android, here i'll list also between computers.

1) The classic yet fast and reliable, Bluetooth aka Gigibiru. Now with Bluetooth 3.0, if your comp/laptop/android supports it, it should be quite fast smile.gif best for small files, up to 25mb smile.gif
2) Exchanging the microsd card, this assumes you have a port or adapter or an phone with microsd/sd slot, speed would depend on your microsd class, but the fact that you have to off phone & take out the battery isnt very appealing. sad.gif
3) Swiftp, tutorial http://www.thesimplest.net/android/simples...roid-wirelessly thanks to iori57 notworthy.gif one of the best method of file transfer, it allows your phone to act as a server that can be accessed from your computer, best thing about ftp is you can access it using a normal window, therefore you can drag and paste, right click cut etc etc. Speed is average, 5mins 30 secs for a 261mb download, 2mins 45 secs for upload. best for above 100mb files. As for mobile, you can accessed that address using a file explorer or web browser
4) Kies Air, accessible from your app drawer, it acts also as a server, accessible and you can send sms from it too, moving of files is limited to 100mb, speed not sure as i didnt try moving before, need browser.
5) Wifi File Explorer, another app that uses wifi and act as a server, also unlike swiftp, requires a web browser.
6) ES File Explorer/Astro File Explorer or any other explorers that can support LAN, there are a few others. These require the usual know how about sharing your files and folders on the network, as long your files are shared, you can view them, and do all the things a file explorer can, copy paste cut etc, even stream from them but with limit.(this can also be achieved between androids given one shares his files via the Allshare app, while the other uses file explorer to take.)
7) The Best of all, Wifi-Direct, The best advancement in technology in its class, sending 130mb of files in 15-20 seconds, beating all the above methods by far. Transfer between 2 SGS2 is quite simple, altho you have to scan and reconnect each time after 2 minutes. Some files are not supported, so far .xml cant be sent. but speed, Godlike thumbup.gif Unfortunately not many devices supports wifi-direct, theoretically only 1 device is needed to have wifi-direct but in the SGS2 case, we need both devices to support it, why i still dont know as only a few devices are using it.

QUOTE(frey88 @ Sep 8 2011, 05:14 PM)
Wi-Fi direct will be useful in this case

wanna ask a Q about swype. i noticed some words i added can't be deleted? words like 2moro. i dun think it was there when i first started using swype. can't seem to delete it. when i highlight the word and select the icon, it does not prompt to delete.

or is it picking up that word from somewhere else?
*
not so familiar about swype's deleting function but the latest swype beta has dictionary management

Really, I'm thinking, like the iSheep, the exponential growth of the SGS2 userbase is a GOOD thing, as it results in MORE accessories being made for the SGS2.

Which is always good.

Shame it also results it seeing the SGS2 everywhere, and it's no longer an "exclusive" device any more, sob.

yea lor, sad sad.gif ohwell android at least can personalize a lot of stuffs, so still unique biggrin.gif

asphalt 6 doesn't lag on mine. really smooth and I'm on stock rom.

oh? then maybe upgrading to KH2 will fix it, because forums all say 2.3.4 the first time it got fixed was when they release XXKG1, but XXKH2 is even newer than XXKG1 and supposed to be 2.3.4 too but asian roms special, still 2.3.3 doh.gif , so it might just work hmm.gif

Gmarket, currently the ONLY place to get one. And it's about RM75 with RM30ish postage. If I can get 10 ppl to wanna start a bulk, I we can split the shipping to a more managable level (as they do bulk shipping).

But otherwise, RM30 for shipping can get you a capdase SP already lol.

will it cost a lot of data?

why i asking this is, when i buying this S2, there's a auntie beside me who buying galaxy ace for his son, and she using S2 also. den she ask the girl to disable the packet data for the ace, cause she said her S2 last time cost her RM2K plus due to the enabled packet data...

i was shock and suspect whether is true or not, got so much bo, or she sinkalan... lol... rclxub.gif
*
no way 2k impossible lor, maxis plan got cap wan unless she memang no plan la, then maybe its possible. About the s2, yes it will use data in the background, examples are when u select auto update some apps, they will update itself, like maps then will eat data, also the market itself will update, google's own network location data gathering, google's cloud backup service and also samsung account, these i got the values through 3g watchdog, only market auto updating the apps and google cloud backup will eat quite some data, others are very minor only, so make sure you set it correctly.

btw, thanks you guys for de into...

maxis very very scary wan, use 3g watchdog or data counter widget, when reach 75% quota better stop ad shakehead.gif

Wasn't it you who first contacted me about the Estocs anyway lol.

Scratch resistance is actually normal, like ultra crystal. Only diff is the scratches supposedly heal themselves (through rubbing in circular motion or by itself, magically). I can attest to the healing of microscratches through rubbing, happened a few times already.

If you don't like shiny at all, then the Estoc might not be for you. It's like semi-shiny, semi-matte. BUT, it's confirm clearer then any matte film I know of.

Will do.

3. BetterBatteryStats
top to bottom, worst to best, easist to hardest
actually there's more apps that can measure like battery monitor widget, process monitor widget, but these are too detailed for a normal user.

Also my USB connection to PC is not stable, it will disconnects itself after sometime... is this normal?

I only use stock and fire up BBS only to measure wakelocks. Gave up "seriously" trying to strip things off the SGS2 to make it run faster as it was also compromising performance, usability and stability.

It's like running a BMW M3 with all the nice comfort bits dumped out to maximize fuel mileage. I would like my air conditioning, soundproofing, airbags, ABS, stereo and leather bucket seats thank you.

YMMV, however, and I know some would happily run the lightened M3 and enjoy better miles per gallon (while others would make it light and stick NOS and turbos in the engine to make it run like a freaking rocket). Android is open like that and it's great.

But still, I DO watch out for sudden "OMG it's dead in 6 hours kthxbye" batt drops due to errant apps - a big issue stemming from the openness and multitasking nature of android (and the market).

At least it's better nowadays. I mean, a dual core phone dead in 5-6 hours of 3G heavy use? My Axim x51v used to die after an hour or two of wifi surfing lol. Even my N900 died after 3-4 hours of 3G use. Don't forget the scare stories that used to go around about how long the old Desire used to run under heavy use lol.

Things are getting better, really.

And with the Momax, I seem to have FINALLY regained the 12-14 hours a day of heavy activity that I used to get with my external battery case equipped iPhone 4, so I'm happy.

As an added bonus, it's still a bit thinner (and somewhat lighter) too.
*
seriously i agree, many people dont realise it until they got a smartphone and heavily using the net and apps, my nokia n96 and w800 both will die very quickly if wifi or 3g is on, yet many ppl dont realise it...
