Started to run firmware update since 2:30pm

Still downloading after almost 2 hrs...  using Unifi

Take that long to update ?

The DXKH2 is about 500mb and updating from Kies will usually takes longer. Download from samfirmware and flash thru Odin is faster.

It is korean poor english meaning no newer update availble
Unroot phone to recieve official update thro kies
Since rooted why bother. Just download latest from xda or samfirmware n use odin to flash

I do not have any app called market access....when I go to the market, I cannot find any program by that name and google maps is not there either. Isn't there a menu to update the phone software?

Thanks
*
You can google for Market Access and download the apk file to install on your phone. Or you can use Market Enabler which is available on the Market.

Market Access or Market Enabler requires root

Those who can't update thru Market to Google Map 5.10.0, can download from here and install on their SGS2

Or you can use the Import/Export function if don't want to sync with gmail.

Just backup (contacts > menu > import/export > export to SD card) to a *.vcf file on your SD card. Then restore using the import from SD card whenever you update or flash new roms.

Been using this method since SGS1 days.

SMS and MMS can use SMS backup and restore from market (free).

I only use Titanium to restore data only. Appbrain to have a list of the apps installed.

That's why it is recommended to clear user data and cache before and after flashing thru recovery.

This will wipe all data.

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.

Eiraku - Is this bulk order on going? If it is, 3 units for me thumbup.gif

Can. Seen my friends sending in chinese for the said both.

Also if you have updated your SGS2 to DXKF2, you can swype in chinese and also use the diopen keyboard.

One thing I notice about Swype (I am using 3.25 Beta) is that if you are using the English + Chinese version, even though if you are only using English (never select Chinese at all) it still consider the whole SMS to be in unicode (is this correct?) and only have 70 words at one SMS. A normal English SMS should have 160 words isn't?

How to solve this ah?

Go to Messages > Menu > Settings > Input Mode change to Automatic

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.
