same problem here.. everytime have to restart wifi.... i guess it's due to poor/unstable signal.

Definitely not due to poor/unstable signal..as I'm always having poor/unstable signal as Unifi DLink wifi router wifi coverage sucks..10m also cannot detect already..so when I'm in room, sometimes will disconnect a while or slower speed..but once I get out from room..working great.. thumbup.gif

This is not symbian. Even without sim card you can on and use the device and play games. Just no phone/sms/data etc. thats all.

What browser did you use? Dolphin and skyfire both can change to desktop. Stock browser you had to type 'about:useragent' to change it. Certain site like Hulu will know that you're on mobile regardless you use mobile or desktop setting hence you still be blocked from that site.

for pc, it is not browser dependent.it is more connectivity settings thing. I assume same with android but can't seems to work

I didnt download any browser. Use the 'internet' icon.

even whatsapp oso cannot send, so i think maybe it is not the browser prob

Anyone knows how to bypass the blocking of several website for android or s2 in specific? For pc I can do it by setting specific dns but when I tried on my s2 doesn't work

just download set dns from market and set to google dns, after this you can go to block website.

over the weekend, checked out what's new on Samsung Apps.

i got prompted for some updates... installed them... then downloaded a few stuffs...

next day, i noticed i get some korean notification... *sigh*
Attached Image

it does not break android... but it does go to show android is still a long way to go when it comes to being an OS that had got high 'quality standards'...

lots of little issues everywhere... like what i highlighted previously...
* 15% min battery level for the camera apps to work
* wifi sharing service (+1 more wifi related service) running in background even though wifi sharing is not enabled
* unstable wifi connection to the point i need to off and on wifi for it to work again
* deleting a saved DRAFT message is not easy... no one click option. you have to empty the message by deleting word by word
* contacts in message will show ALL contacts (if you have multiple accounts -- regardless of what is done)
* nerfed gmail apps -- can't attach files other than images files FROM GALLERY (and MUSIC, i think). it seems it is possible to attach doc, etc... but it depends on manufacturer.
* BT pairing with another android device can be painful -- dun have 'always trust and accept files from this android device' option.
* Samsung kies -- nothing more needs to be said.
* Samsung dive -- very similar to kies. super half-baked service/ product. thank goodness is free, though another way to look at it... we did indirectly pay for it.
* gallery seems to be 'picky' about the photos it wants to list. i have some photos taken on the phone before i installed the microSD card. after putting in the card, i moved the photos from the camera to the card. gallery has decided NOT to show them. to access the files, i need to use File Manager.
* outside of SGS2, you have things like core apps that dun work properly -- the new Market is a good example. It could not really update apps properly. Instead of 1 click to view your apps, the new apps requires 2-3 clicks.

its really minor things... and most ppl probably won't even notice it. but still... smile.gif

lots of little issues everywhere... like what i highlighted previously...
* 15% min battery level for the camera apps to work There are workaround for this but will need rooting
* wifi sharing service (+1 more wifi related service) running in background even though wifi sharing is not enabled Never use wifi sharing so no comment
* unstable wifi connection to the point i need to off and on wifi for it to work again Never had this issue
* deleting a saved DRAFT message is not easy... no one click option. you have to empty the message by deleting word by word This is true but i never see it as a problem. You can just hold on backspace on swype and it will delete very fast.
* contacts in message will show ALL contacts (if you have multiple accounts -- regardless of what is done) Don't understand. I just type my contact name and it shows up after 2 - 3 letters. Never even click contact before
* nerfed gmail apps -- can't attach files other than images files FROM GALLERY (and MUSIC, i think). it seems it is possible to attach doc, etc... but it depends on manufacturer. I don't use gmail app.
* BT pairing with another android device can be painful -- dun have 'always trust and accept files from this android device' option. I thought got always trust function. Will check when i go back.
* Samsung kies -- nothing more needs to be said. I don't use kies. No comment.

Use quickpic. The best in the android world.
* outside of SGS2, you have things like core apps that dun work properly -- the new Market is a good example. It could not really update apps properly. Instead of 1 click to view your apps, the new apps requires 2-3 clicks. Agree. New market sucks. I am still using the old one until they improve it.

for the sms draft... well, i would like if they allowed me to hold and then delete message. but ya... all the stuff i mentioned are small issues... nothing majorly painful.

as for the contacts in message, as i have a few accounts, when i type the first few letters, the names will all still appear from all accounts even though i have specified in my Sync settings that contacts only from from one Gmail account. this was discussed in earlier thread...

i think for those with 1 account, it would also be affected -- if your Gmail settings is such that it saves contacts of ppl you email to.

the thing is... this contact list in message has more contacts that what i get when i click contacts.

so now, the workaround for me is... when i want to send to multiple ppl, from message, i click the contacts icon... then groups... select the main account -- then select my contacts. this way, it will list only contacts that i want (my main account).
