A new thread already? If i'm on jogging, will be dead of exhausted.

BTW, I updated Kies to the latest version yesterday kies 2.1.0.11095_121 and my SGS is on stock ROM 2.3.3. Here's the detailed problem:

1. Somehow not only Kies can't detect the phone, even the usual pop-up windows doesn't appear.
2. When connected to PC, there's a weird sound from the PC (seems to say there's a problem with the connection) unlike previously when everything is ok
3. I have tried the troubleshoot connection errors but to no avail
4. Kies says that my phone is a device that doesn't support Kies 2.0

Anyone can help?

The major differences is just the bigger display at 5.3 inch and the S-Pen ( useful if you do take notes a lot plus other cool features of the Spen software)
*
I'll say with better pixel too since the resolution is higher. Pixels still can be seen on SGSII. And I should add that it comes with 1.4GHz dual-core, so that's a major difference as well. not to forget the inclusion barometer sensor as well

well we can overclock our CPU to 1.6ghz so i wont care, but truely the HD reso is tempting wei  brows.gif  brows.gif

The same argument is valid to Note as well, I mean if it's based on 1.4GHz, wonder how far it can go. I remember when Streak was introduced several years ago. Back then everyone says 5" phone is an abomination smile.gif. For me, SGSII is already out of reach with single hand operation. Those looking for larger real estate will go for note anyway since it's better for drawing and note taking

Also remember the battery capacity increase,waveweaver posted a screenshot showing about 6hours on screen time till the note battery less than 5%,which is AWESOME!
*
Battery capacity is larger due to larger screen and higher processor that requires more juices. So I guess it all goes down to individual operation, not necessarily means will be longer

Aiyoh how fast you wanna go. Even our dual core 1.2ghz is greatly underused. No point in 1.4 or OC to 1.6. So the selling point for Note is not the processor. For me its the large screen, better resolution and better batt life.
*
I'm not a fan of neither OC nor rooting. I feel comfortable with stock ROM for any phone that I have. Just making a valid point to the other person argument that OC is not solely a unique trait of SGSII

that guy claim he did the sms thing on the spot, but i got the reply sms about 2 weeks later.
before the sms arrive, i already register my phone in the samsung support website, it states there one year duration.

how dissapointing.
*
I had almost the same issue. The LYN seller that I got this phone said his supply come from SEP so he didn't SMS on the spot. But since close to one week no SMS arrive, I registered for one year warranty by myself, afraid there's no warranty from the SEP at all. Will I still be valid for two years if the SEP finally register for me? Or I have been conned by the seller?

Like I said, it happened yesterday only after an update to new Kies version

the last time i am having the issue is when i just got the phone, and what i did just reset the phone(reset all data, and setting and start setup from new phone again) then it solved...

That's something that I wish I don't have to endure sad.gif . I'll give it a try. Anyone else updated Kies and get the same problem?

Should have go back there and demand for the sms registration. cant really comment on the warranty since all that I bought from SEP got instant sms after the seller register in front of me but for my SGS2 I also didn't get any SMS since I bought it at SenQ and didn't bother to register myself as well.

for the kies problem, did it install the driver after you update? I updated my kies a few days back as well. after that my PC keep installing the driver every time I plug in but now its ok already. can plug n play like normal.
*
Thanks for your reply. Multiple calls and sms to the seller but he kept saying waiting for SEP to register. Then, he blamed me when he knows that I have registered for one year by myself, saying that damage has been done and no more 2 years warranty is available (his english is suck btw). So is this true? Does this meant that my registration has overlapped the e-warranty even though from SEP stock?

Regarding the Kies, it has reinstalled the driver when I did the troubleshooting. But still the PC can't even detect the phone rclxub.gif. When I changed to mass storage mode, no problem as the PC manage to detect it well

OK guys an update.

Problem has been solved. Should anyone have similar problem, here are the things that I have done.

1. Uninstall both Kies & Samsung driver for mobile phone from PC.
2. Fresh install of Kies of previous version: 2.0.3.11082_152_4
3. Connect SGS and follow all remaining steps.

I don't whether the new Kies version is the problem or what but I don't update the Kies to that version.

No problem downloading from amazon. Just downloaded crappy quickoffice yesterday. You probably miss a step or something. Try to start all over again.
Thanks for the reply. I've tried everything I can to the point I can't take it anymore. I believe the problem could lies in the fact that I already have Amazon account with Malaysian address prior to buying it. I use the same account for Amazon on the phone. but even I tried with new account seems not working because the device has been associated with the previous one. Even unlink from the previous account doesn't do anything shakehead.gif

And do you know that it also work even with photo? biggrin.gif This has been confirmed in the news and I even tried with my Visidon Applock. Same thing biggrin.gif

Unless Google has work out a better algorithm and mechanism to distinguish real and still photo, this feature seems like a gimmick only

So how can we check whether is registered or not? Can check it online?

My Samsung

You can check as long as phone has been registered of course. But this website a little buggy though. Most of the time can't log in

my retailer also didn't register mine via e warranty.. what I did n what can you do, register your product via samsung website.. I registered mine last time and I still worry whether it is under warranty or not, so I send them a mail bout that... The reply I got is Yes, already under warranty...and also you need to keep ur purchase receipt

have you check whether it's 1 year or 2 years? Because e-warranty if not mistaken for two years
