A quickie: How to transfer movies via USB connection? Click SETTING>????>DEVELOPMENT.

I forgot the middle part...Anyone?

Got it! SETTINGS>APPLICATIONS>DEVELOPMENT

I couldn't access to my smartphone. It pop out...

ATTENTION

USB is connected. Remove the cable.

I press OK button but the USB debugging tick box is not "ticked". I thought of arranging some of my files in the SGS2...Sigh.

You are a God sent! THANK YOU!!!

I'm full of jealousy. White looks very nice indeed!

Thank you for very informative piece. I was scratching my head when it didn't go right. The micro USB data cable SHOULD NOT BE PLUGGED IN before you tick the box for USB Debugging. It should be plugged after that. LOLZ! Learnt something new yesterday.

Thanks for the elaborate tip.

A quickie...I already plugged in the micro USB cable to my SGS2. However, it couldn't detect by my computer. What could be the problem? It prompted me to have the CD installation or something...

I managed to get it "detected" without knowing how because it happens to be connected. Sigh...This is supposed to be plug and play, right?

I've gone through SETTINGS>APPLICATION>DEVELOPMENT

SGS2 is still grasp-able. But the Samsung's Note is a little tad bigger and those small mittens would have a hard time holding it. LOLZ! 5.3" of Super AMOLED screen! Watching video on it would be a God-sent.

I'm on a normal usage basis. Flashing ROM/kernal is way out of my league. I'm not into these...

Kies? Download it from the Internet? Erm...I don't think I ever downloaded anything in relation to Kies before.

Samsung USB Drivers? OK. Noted.

Do you guys think the new voice-controlled Siri personal assistant on the iPhone4s is almost the same as the one featured on our SGS2 whereby we just say "Hi, Galaxy"?

For calls and texts, it's a bit gibberish since I got quite a number of friends with Chinese name. If it's English names, it turned out better. For Google search, I just click the "microphone" icon on the right and just say whatever you wanted to search via Google and I'd say it's 95% accurate and it directs the one that I've wanted/spoken.

Tried it a few times out of curiousity and it works! By the way, still bogged down by the Kies thing. Android SDK and AVD Manager on it's way...

Added on October 6, 2011, 4:48 pmMalaysian market is a bit "tricky" for the "voice control system". Eh, the iPhone 4s keynote was delivered, right? Same old screen size, the outlook design, maybe the next big thing is on the iPhone5, perhaps?

Been doing so from the day I purchased the phone. These days, the charger and the battery are smart enough to have its' own "way of working". It's pretty much so for an auto that uses caburetor or fuel injection. Time has changed and so do technology.

It's a bloody RM2,000 piece of smartphone. Well, you could forgive her reaction. At least she cared which is a good thing.

Added on October 8, 2011, 12:49 pmMost mobile phone chargers are not really chargers, only power adapters that provide a power source for the charging circuitry which is almost always contained within the mobile phone.[15] They are notoriously diverse, having a wide variety of DC connector-styles and voltages, most of which are not compatible with other manufacturers' phones or even different models of phones from a single manufacturer.

Users of publicly accessible charging kiosks must be able to cross-reference connectors with device brands/models and individual charge parameters and thus ensure delivery of the correct charge for their mobile device. A database-driven system is one solution, and is being incorporated into some designs of charging kiosks.

Mobile phones can usually accept a relatively wide range of voltages[citation needed], as long as it is sufficiently above the phone battery's voltage. However, if the voltage is too high, it can damage the phone. Mostly, the voltage is 5 volts or slightly higher, but it can sometimes vary up to 12 volts when the power source is not loaded.

There are also human-powered chargers sold on the market, which typically consists of a dynamo powered by a hand crank and extension cords. There are also solar chargers.

China and other countries are making a national standard on mobile phone chargers using the USB standard.[16] in June 2009, 10 of the world's largest mobile phone manufacturers signed a Memorandum of Understanding to develop specifications for and support a microUSB-equipped common External Power Supply (EPS) for all data-enabled mobile phones sold in the EU.[17][18] On October 22, 2009, the International Telecommunication Union announced a standard for a universal charger for mobile handsets (Micro-USB).[19]

The design for Nexus Prime is also different. If I'm not mistaken, the SGS2 back is flatbed while the Nexus Prime is curvaceous just like the Son Ericsson Arc. I could be wrong here.

In addition, I believe the NiCd "memory" issue still plaguing us until today...However, our SGS2 is not utilising NiCd as it's battery. It uses Lithium-Ion type battery, right?

Lithium-Ion: Lithium seems an ideal material for a battery: it is the lightest metal in addition to having the highest electric potential of all metals. Unfortunately, lithium is an unstable metal, so batteries that use lithium must be made using lithium ions (such as lithium-thionyl chloride). Even so, dangers persist with lithium-ion batteries. Many of the inorganic components of the battery and its casing are destroyed by the lithium ions and, on contact with water, lithium will react to create hydrogen which can ignite or can create excess pressure in the cell. If the lithium melts (melting point is 180 C), it may come into direct contact with the cathode, causing violent chemical reactions. As a consequence, lithium batteries are often limited to small sizes. Portable devices, such as notebook computers, smart cards, and cellular telephones, are often powered by lithium ion batteries. These batteries have no memory effect and do not use poisonous metals, such as lead, mercury or cadmium.

It could be the agreed packages that they are offering. From sole proprietary outlets to authorised Samsung dealers to whatever there is out there. Mine has 18-month warranty. What I last heard from SenQ/Seng Heng, they are giving away 36-month warranty (1 year from Samsung, 2 years from SenQ/Seng Heng).

I was told the salesperson that even though the warranty stretches from one year to three years, it could be services warranty given and not the product warranty. Well, you know how those terms and conditions work, right?

Hmmm...technology will exist and would be brought forward from year to year (given the fact that they are not thrown or buried at the waste land). We are welcoming the age of light-ness and Lithium-Ion is the answer. With weight being an issue to be taken into account, it wouldn't be of a surprise that good bye to NiCd and welcome to Litium-Ion batteries.

Besides smartphone or whatever mobile there is in the market, NiCd batteries are still out there in the market.

A tip for SGS2 user: Scroll the notification bar and press whatever there is for USB connection. I tried a few times earlier but couldn't get it connected even though under SETTINGS>APPLICATIONS>DEVELOPMENT.

I left out what's being posted at the front/first page (by benny888) that you need to press, erm..."USB Connect" to complete the plug and play.

By the way, my PlayStation®3 can detect my SGS2. There's another forummer that said his SGS2 could be detected on his XBox 360 also. So, there you have it, the two confirmed consoles that the SGS2 could be plugged in to perform some video, photograph transfers.

What we are looking in the future? 28nm 64-Core Epiphany-IV microprocessor chip?

Adapteva, a privately-held semiconductor technology start up, today announced the release of the fourth generation of its Epiphany multicore architecture IP – a 28nm design with 64 independent high-performance RISC cores on a single chip. The latest generation of the Epiphany architecture offers the highest energy efficiency of any floating point processor solution to date, with a ground-breaking 70 GFLOPS/Watt.

Would it creep into mobiles by next year? Samsung is going to incorporate that mean little power house chip, right?



Excerpt: The chip, called Epiphany-IV, won’t replace your phone’s main SoC, but would allow that chip to offload processing requests to it. Just as a normal multi-core SoC can activate additional cores on-demand, a phone using an Epiphany-IV could pass it tasks to tackle on an as-needed basis. All those 64 cores can run at up to 800MHz, resulting in the raw number-crunching power of about 45 Apple A5 chips.

A fair square on with the screen size between Samsung's Galaxy S II and Apple's iPhone4s? A fellow posted this on an iPhone thread in this forum. Everyone was hoping for a larger screen on the next iPhone installment but when it came out as the same size as the iPhone4...

Added on October 8, 2011, 4:53 pmI think my ID is not included in the list. LOLZ! Anyway, I didn't request my ID to be listed so it's not significant. Anyone looking for black coloured SGS2 with the model number: GT-I9100, I'm willing to let go since I might want to grab the snow white.

iPhone 4s with 3.5" versus Samsung SGSII with 4.3"

I'd say go for the bigger cannon!

Come on...given a choice, would you drive a Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 to your neighbourhood's 7 Eleven outlet to grab a loaf of bread? It's like comforting (more like telling lies to your own self) one self of something that is so obvious.

You've made my day! Actually I laughed when I read your posting about his hand. In terms of screen size, personally I'll go for 4.3".

People already gone for 7" and even 10" for tablet and what's there to be shunned upon with 4.3", right?

You mean the hole-ey?

No worries. It terms of pocket-ability, shirt pocket, pants pocket, you name it. I've tried both (shirt and pants) before so no problem.

Seriously, I would want to see how it goes for Apple's iPhone series. We'll just see who has the last laugh.

Try ZEDGE. It can be downloaded from THE MARKET.

Water heater issue: No.
Echo issue: No.
Automatic shut-down issue: No.
Lag issue: Yes/No. Depends. Sometimes I downloading quite a lot of stuff and the lag is there. It lasted for a short period of time.
Automatic restart: No.

Step One: It's printed on the physical box of the smartphone.
Step Two: Go to SETTING>Scroll down to the bottom ABOUT PHONE>You can see it under MODEL NUMBER

It's not really fuzzy but when you look tentatively on the screen, you can see it's not really that clear. Thinking of getting another type of screen protector.

Thank you for sharing! RM20 is considerably acceptable.

I'm not sure about the performance involved. Warranty issue is much of your concern.
