hi all i want to find out is there any difference between the g and non-g versions of the phone? i know they are using different processors but what i want to know if i purchase right now does it matter which type i get?

You should post this in the official sgs2 forum.
The g version has more probs than the non g.

All the good things you hear about s2 are the earlier non g version.
G version tend to have more weird issues, hangs occasionally, and very little custom rom.

Buy a non g s2 and don't buy at all. Look for 2nd hand or ap sets.
Or consider note or nexus.

if you dunno then its not an issue. Wifi direct is allow you to transfer files between 2 devices using wifi. Of cos both device must support it in the first place.

Wifi direct is awesome man!

You should try it. Its like Bluetooth on steroids.
Send files between supported device with wifi speed, talking about 1.5-2MBps.

Let's say you have 300+ pics or a 700MB movie, you can send to your friends s2, nexus, android tablet using wifi direct in less than 5 minutes.
Cool stuff. It does not require both device to be connected to a router, can straight send, hence the name wifi direct.

One of the sad reasons why I don't use aokp aosp. Cos no wifi direct

You can get ics one 2 months ago in your house.
Just download Odin, and the official firmware from xda,
Its non wipe and won't add yellow triangle,won't ruin warantee.

If you bring to service center, I think they'll just do the same.
They'll take ur phone, Plug your phone to their com, and flash away using Odin.
Same procedure, why waste petrol go sc?

if you have another galaxy note/s1/s2 around this feature is awesome

so wifi direct can only be done with another supported phone/tablet only? how about phone to PC and vise versa?
do I need to get an app for it or its on the phone settings?

::noobiemode::

ACTUALLY hor, wifi direct, is just using wifi as a LAN, the receiver acts as a modem/router while the sender connects to the receiver and send files using wifi LAN speed.

so by using the same concept, it can be done between laptop and phone, just by using wifi or wifi hotspot to connect with the computer, which method(s) you can find in the first page

edit: ok, the first page none, you need to find back the old uncle benny's thread, this new one lack alot of guides

pc <connectify> phone
pc <wifi hotspot>phone

wifi hotspot can use swiftp, wifi file manager, es file explorer or any file manager that supports Local Area Network, kies air, allshare

hmm.. which website needs flash player? i tried tgv.com.my it seems like running fine with all the stuffs..

Wifi direct between phone and PC?
I don't think possible la. You manage to do it?
Using air droid, kies air or similar app is not consider wifidirec.

Wifi direct works even when both device is not connected to the router.
Example, if me an my friend s2 on a bus, both not connected to wifi router.
I can still send files using wifi direct.

understood! using it now. Nice!

Any dropbox user here? Wanna ask is it safe if I put my files in the main page of dropbox...NOT inside the picture/document/public folder?

the main page is still private right? only stuff on the public folder can be shared. That's what I understand at least

Umm what ? What's your baseband version anyway?

Haha I think so too. Btw, I got an offer from a FB contact to have my free account boosted to 18GB for RM30. Tempting Me lazy person also hahahaha

yep, its possible
you can use those apps even if you're not connected to a router/modem.
for instance, the place where i worked a month ago does not have internet, so no router, so i use wifi hotspot, and my laptop connects to my phone. both are assigned an ip, and the phone acts as the router and client at the same time. if you i es file explorer in ur phone, the ip of my laptop appears and anything i shared in my laptop is accessible just like as if i;m using LAN at home. same case if i use swiftp and access my phone from my laptop, although the ip of my phone will not be displayed in swiftp if i use wifi hotspot, you can know your phone's ip if you look at the settings>wifi area. knowing that i just type in the ip in my laptop and i can access my phone, the ip is permanent and never changes so i could make a shortcut easily to access it.

of course all these is not actually wifi direct since wifi direct is actually a simplified process of all these.

nobody tried google DRIVE?
