apa u dun understand? 

how much u spend on call n sms average monthly?

and wat u will do on ur SGSII after u get it?
light surfing/ whatsapp/ fb?
medium surfing/ streaming?
heavy download/streaming?

choose ur plan and telco base on ur need. dun get tempted by how much so called "discounts" for bundle wif telco. for example one month u spend RM20 on call n sms and only do some lite surfing. and u take maxis plans that is totally underutilizing the plan usage, in the end u spend more than what u think u saved.

i get my phone at 2030 without bundling wif any telco, and i go for umobile prepaid unlimited internet at RM28 per month, free 100 min air time and 30 sms, and 500 mb quota data plan. the most suitable plan for me

give me ur phone number i call u tonight then we can talk about sgs2 complaints --privately...
lol
ok srsly, i find the video sound too soft. maximise it to 14, still like lvl4 of my samsung wave only. other tones is loud enough but shockingly the video isnt
i dont like the speaker facing downside
i dont like the camera is not protected
i dont like cuz it's too powerful, i feel guilty not fully utilised it's power
i dont like cuz pawnage iphone users...

other version of sgs2 is tegra 2 processor with super lcd or sumfin' lik dat...amoled+ is very the best u can find on this planet before they mass ship out da amoled HD tho so this version is the reason u wanto get cuz of the amoled+...other manufacturer hi tech display still in production or concept stage so amoled+ still mile ahead in term of contrast /deep black and color vibrancy . and unless u can wait myb half a year, the amoled HD myb comes in much bigger resolution than 480 x 800 but just might tax the processor abit.

since the leading prowess of sgs2 processor partly due to smaller reso than competitors therefore explaining the overpowering quadrant n other perf tests

not troll la..thrilling mebe la ..lousy attempt though haha
not available. luckily we get the exynos+amoled version for better video n flash perf. the tgra 2 for gaming better since i dont game on my s2...i dun understand why ppl want to game on hp n whats the fuss about angry brid  , i got notebook to game many better games wakakaka

Kernel is BIOS for your phone.

ROM is a package of UI + Kernel + Modem

Good thing about Android is you can customize to build different combination of ROM, kernel, modem in your phone.

You can Google BIOS, its a term for PC.
For Android we call it Kernal.

UI is user interface.

ok, ok... i can do this one... read page 1.

NO need to root/flash/custom roms if you are happy with stock
Do these stuffs only if you wish to have features beyond stock rom, example
- ability to have a full rom backup and a full restore with all your data/apps in case your phone crashed
- changing themes and effects on the user interface
-  overclocking or undervolting to improve performance and better battery life respectively
-  needs a leaner rom as you find the Samsung apps are unnecessary and is bloatware

Read all.. save you hassle to ask basic questions again and again.

page one first post has a table of contents, go to the part which says roms flashing etc.

honestly, if you don't understand it yet, then its probably not the time for you to look at rooting/ flashing.

my advise to ppl is... enjoy the phone in its original form. after you play around with it... and if you notice things that are lacking in the phone... then you start to look at how to fix the problems... or add the functions... and that's when you wanna consider rooting/ flashing.

i'm been using my phone for more than 2 months... i find there are some limitations with the phone in its original form, but nothing that really makes me must root/ flash/ etc the phone yet.

oh, dun have the phone yet?!? hmmm...

Added on September 5, 2011, 2:49 pmjust sharing more observations and limitations of the stock/ original sammy rom...
* no stock animated images/ smileys. even my old dumbphone (SE k618i) have them...
* if sending to multiple recipients (referring to sms), after it's sent... there's no way to know to check who you sent it to.

Overclocking is making your phone to operate faster above its clockspeed  1.2 Ghz to 1.4 or even 1.6 Ghz
Undervolting is to reduce the power usage for each level of clockspeed, eg from 1450mV to 1300mV for , say clockspeed 1200 Ghz ; theoretically this will improve battery consumption
Bloatware is apps that Samsung has provided which many of us don't use at all. There are many of such apps in the phone. We need root to freeze these apps as if not these apps will continually popup in background, some of which could be taking up resources

That is the beauty of Android phone - you have the freedom to decide what you want or don't want, what you want to change, what you want to disable, how to change themes and UI customization to suit to taste etc. the limit is your imagination. Some of these changes might need root, flash specific mod files, change roms , etc ; some can be done even on stock roms

Don't get influence by all the talk of roms, flash, mods, root here . Just enjoy your phone first in its stock condition. Many things can be solve without resorting to such mods

whatsapp is free for first year.

i suggest installing whatsapp and viber. you then have 1 year to convert your friends from whatsapp to viber.

viber is currently FOC.

if you know windows and the difference between power user and administrator... then think of root access as being administrator. in its original form, sgs2 (and other android devices) only give power user rights.

why need root/ administrator access? to modify the OS/ system/ kernel files. some apps that 'freezes' your apps will need such rights, i think... ok, i'm psychic and i can read your mind. and no, not going to explain what is 'freezing'.

installing 3rd party apps do not require root access. it's just a matter of checking a box.

viber sucks. cannot turn off notification zz

Hi bro,

Whatsapp and Viber are 2 different application.

Whatsapp is like text messaging over wifi/3g which means free.

However Viber provide free call (VoIP) and text messaging over Wifi or 3g.

both use data, so u pay over your data plan.

lol... another female! cool!

yes, can make free calls. for me, viber gets my thumbs up only coz they have official support in our forum.

they have indicated plans to make it very much like whatsapp (being able to share photos) and also to have other versions  -- for BB, PC, etc.

but again, another major point -- its FREE. whatsapps for android... it's chargeable annually. the ios version is only pay once.

Haha me too

Yes..through Google PinYin.. 

Can, everything can type in chinese.. 
It just add another additional keyboard for u to choose when u type 

hi, anyone know when the official white version will be sold in Malaysia?

Heard it is available in Singapore now

Not sure about the price. That's for you to decide if you want to get the black now or wait for the white. But not sure when launching here.

Got a member, CCM, ordered the white sgs2 from Europe. Got pics of it in last couple of pages.
