And does approve permit relate to mobile phones?
No right? Only to cars.

Get your facts right. approved permit is not equal to sirim certs, and not equal to official imports or parallel/grey imports.

AP only applies on grey import cars.
Handset where got Approved Permit, only SIRIM permit.

Actually AP for all imported cars. lol... but ya, SIRIM only, and that's for compliance purposes not for tax/duty purpose which is what the AP is for.

Okay, the bottom line is whether original or whatever you call it, has the same risk involved, doesn't mean buying whatever you call it, will spoil faster or buying original will last longer, it all boils down to luck..

And of course the upper hand of originals is that they are originals and can sent to samsung service centers but will definitely burn a hole in the pocket, and the risk of AP is that they might be recon sets, underwater sets, just be a smart buyer when purchasing those kind of goods..

Positron giving constructive comment

guys i just bought an S2 for my Gf, we were playing around with it, and using the camera, halfway though the camera just hung. so i press the home screen, and tried to access the camera again.. it said caemra failed or something. i switched restarted the phone and it was ok. is this normal?

no cracked,pirated or weird apps in the phone

okok.. i just share my opinion.. any1 wanna buy air cond for house can ask me b4 u obtained.. if no issue still ok but problem occurs then i will fight for justice till my last breath..

Force close you mean?
Doesn't usually happen, probably conflict.

What model/fw version you on?

^like this issue?? how??

its G set

must be G version.

G version got so bad meh??

If it's G version, then its a camera bug..

camera bug is known issue of the G version.

it doestn force close. it just hangs on the camera screen. so i press the home button. then access the camera again. an eroor pops up saying like. camera fail to open

After force closing, the camera app should start as per normal.

No idea why it FC in the first place though. Maybe take hanky panky pics it bth fc. ROFL

Jokes aside, test it longer and see if this issue crops up.
If it happens once, you can write it off as software conflict.
But if happens many times, you can slowly find out why it happens by checking out what apps are running when the FC happens.

hehe affirmative

im an iphone user, so i bought this phone for my GF so i can experiment on both OS. im really trying to learn about this android. for now im a little confused. cause so many have said "cracked" apps will cause instability. meaning to say, its highly not adviseable? this a little dissapointing. the phone is great though...but i have a lot to learn on the android

Are you using SD card?

Where phones are concerned , AP sets ( doesn't really know exactly what it stands for - alternative product ??? ) are essentially same as original sets except they are brought in by 3rd party non authorized resellers. In the past 15 years or so, AP sets are also known as fake sets especially those Nokia phones which are replicas of originals but you know is fake as their UI /OS is different only the outlook looks similar. Similarly you can even now buy fake iphone 4s in China which looks exactly like the original but switch on, you will see a different UI
I have been buying AP phones more than 15 years ( since the days of Nokia symbians) and have yet to get a fake set.

Buy AP sets from reputable phone dealers with a shop not from any sellers which just own a kiosk at any shopping mall if you want better assurance. Ask for a sealed set if you want more assurance. Nowadays only small timer cheats will attempt to change the charger or battery or cables. These stuffs are nowadays much cheaper and is usually not worth the seller reputation to change it unless he is a really small timer parttime seller

So if you want to buy AP sets - buy intelligently
AP sets main difference is warranty claim could take longer than original. I change my HTC Touch Pro motherboard ( AP set bought at Subang Square ) within 10 days and the shop told me if is original probably within 3-4 days

Cracked means apps that are supposed to be paid that offer license key, but gotten illegally.

All apps downloaded from android market and other legal channels are OKAY.
