Hi guys and gals,

My Mom just bought the Galaxy S2 from the Mines shopping mall.

What are the things that she should do?

-The seller said that we should buy the AVG anti-virus which costs RM150.
Is it really needed? And is that the normal price?

-What else should we buy or do?

-What are the do's and don'ts?

-We were told that Android is different from Apple. He said that unlike Apple, the apps are FREE therefore there is no need to JAILBREAK/ROOT an Android phone.
Is that true?

Many thanks in advance

Thanks for the info's guys!
Thank God I told my Mom to let me do a quick survey first.

Added on November 21, 2011, 11:18 amI didn't see anti-virus or anything of the like being mentioned in the first post or page.
I already went through everything before I started posting my questions.
Or maybe you don't know what's on the 1st post

Are there any anti-virus apps that are free?
My Mom doesn't have a credit card and I'm not with her for me to try out the phone.
So I can only guide her from far.

I have my Mom's phone with me now to play around.
She just bought it yesterday.
That shop really tried to rip us off on many levels.
1st the AVG Anti-Virus.
He also told my Mom that GNote costs RM2500 cos my Mom was actually more interested in that but thank God thought that the price difference was too much so just went with S2.
I just found out that the price of Note is actually just RM2300.

-How do I check the current version and how do I upgrade it?
Or is the shop provide with the most up to date version already?

-The camera quality is quite disappointing or am I supposed to fiddle around with the settings first? It is grainy.

-In the first post I didn't see any list of Anti-Virus'. Could anyone recommend a free AV? Or is it better to just purchase the AVG? Problem is that both me and my Mom don't have a Credit Card. Have to ask my Dad for one.

-Anything else I should update or install that is really useful in order to make it a better phone? A USD1-5 dollar shouldn't be a problem as long as it's really useful and important. My Mom's not gonna jailbreak/root the phone btw.

Many thanks in advance

Added on November 21, 2011, 5:57 pmYeah it was me & my Mom.
He also told us that the Note costs RM2500!!
Pity my Mom cause she prefers Note cause of the bigger screen, a big screen is more suitable for her cause her eyes ain't that good anymore.
She found the RM600 too much so went with the Galaxy S2 instead.

I took the pic in the house. Just a random pic.
It was set to super fine.

I assume my Mom's is a G version?
G is supposedly a little bit inferior to the normal S2 right?

I guess I'll uninstall the AV.

Another problem that I notice is when it's on the home screen and I try to go to another homepage, the screen tilts. Is that supposed to be normal?

Many thanks in advance
