One question here, anyone here who rooted or flashed to other roms have any problem when send our phone for warranty? Rooting and flashing can void warranty right?
*
my advise to my friends is always..

"if u can't mentally prepared to risk voiding and losing your warranty, then don't bother to root" tongue.gif

as uncle benny said.. ssc accepting yr rooted phone is a bonus not a privilege or must..

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*
[attachmentid=2442087]

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
non-existant for me.. keyword potatoman..  biggrin.gif
* wifi sharing service (+1 more wifi related service) running in background even though wifi sharing is not enabled
nonexistent again
* unstable wifi connection to the point i need to off and on wifi for it to work again
nonexistent again
* deleting a saved DRAFT message is not easy... no one click option. you have to empty the message by deleting word by word
prefer this way, coz i always write sms halfway and cont later
* contacts in message will show ALL contacts (if you have multiple accounts -- regardless of what is done)
only 1 acct
* 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.
n/a
* BT pairing with another android device can be painful -- dun have 'always trust and accept files from this android device' option.
n/a
* Samsung kies -- nothing more needs to be said.
n/a
* 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.
n/a
* 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.
n/a coz i'm using only quickpic
* 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.
no problem with old or new market for me

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

my 2cents in red.....

i love this phone coz i can play FB games on it brows.gif brows.gif

ok, i rmb got one time my wifi signal say connected, but cannot surf the internet, although my laptop which is also connected to the router, is able to flawlessly..

so i checked the router settings, and found that i have set to auto negotiate channel previously and it's set to channel 11. Since I've heard about this channel thingy causing SGS2 to unable to surf the net.. I changed from auto to a fixed channel, 8 if i remembered correctly..

voila !! then till now, I have not encountered a single wifi signal drop issue.. thumbup.gif

Found this great simple  tool : Darkyrom2 Tool

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ficeto.darkyrom2

Use it to flash tar files ( example kernel ) without using Odin. Just launch the app and just select "Flash /Ibnstall file from sdcard"
*
is this something like leomar revolution kitchen plus app??

i'm using that and really well designed.. can be used with other ROMs as long as got CWM installed..

just something that automate CWM installation of modem/kernel/fonts..

but i'm using his ROM, so not too sure about other ROM compatibility..

too bad it was removed from market dunno for what.. so only way was to get from XDA..

Unticked but still got sound. sad.gif How to remove the shutter sound without rooting????

then i also dunno leh.. probably only way is to set phone to silent mode, although this i heard for older ROMs, the camera shutter sound is not tied to the phone ringtone, but newer ROMs do.. i.e. this method on older ROMs don't work, newer ROMs works..

i don't really mind the camera shutter sound, but i love the volume keys to focus and snap pics.. and the hack comes with the no sound hack as well.. so.. bonus lor.. thumbup.gif

u can try use some apps like juice defender, and set so that it will turn off data when screen off.. so if u forgot to off, at least it wont do any syncing while u sleep.. but when u wake up, off it permanently lah..

i dunno.. tikam tikam only.. never really use juice defender b4.. sweat.gif

this pink spot on my phone looks like this (the area circled in green):

but today's photo... the pink spot might not be so obvious...

again, happens only in low lights condition and since the pink spot is quite faint (can hardly see anyway), its no issue for me.

if that is pink spot.. then my blank A4 paper also have pink spot.. don't see any pink spot buddy.. philips & samsung monitor here.. lol

weird... my phone is not in silent mode. when i take photos, i dun hear the shutter sound (and quite sure my hearing is fine).

i checked my sound settings... system and media is set to 0.

when i push media to more than 0... no sound.

when i push system to more than 0... the shutter sound comes on. so very sure you just need to reduce system to 0. but i dunno what other thing uses the system volume besides the camera shutter.
*
think it depends on the ROM used.. some older ROMs tied the shutter sound to the media volume, but i think the latest stock ROM do not link the shutter sound to the media volume anymore.. maybe independent by itself..

so my guess is mollai's ROM and yr ROM are different.. blush.gif

I see people are bringing up the camera pink spot issue again.
To share some information I've done a survey on the users here back in thread V10.
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=ST&f...post&p=44371465

The verdict is that every SGS2 to date has the problem under the right condition (low to medium light, most obvious on white background or object) just the matter you can see it or not. Honestly if you see the anandtech review picture sample and you can't spot the pink tint, your eyes have some serious problem or you have a weak eyes. As you can see those claim they do not have the pink spot are unable/not willing to prove it with a picture sample.

Some say their problem is solved by upgrading firmware, this is unsure, for me until today I still have the pink spot issue even after upgrading firmware (KH3). I'll try 2.3.5 in a few days. Maybe camera firmware upgrade will make a difference but I can never upgrade my camera firmware, still stuck on OMEF01, maybe it is the latest version in our area. If you look at shopper86 sample obviously the picture is taken in a well lit room (see the shadow).

Anyway, the pink spot problem doesn't really affect much in daily usage of the camera. So far only about 10% of the pictures I've taken are crippled by the stupid pink spot, others are fine.

well.. i did provide my "samples" a few post below that thread.. tongue.gif tongue.gif
