Any suggestion which app is the best to be use for GPS with turn by turn navigation?

other than rooting your S2 to enable turn by turn navigation in Google maps

Finally sent my S2 non-g version for warranty, since the wifi is not working, it will just hang trying to enable it

the rep there told me it was a hardware issue, seems there has been a lot of users having the same problem

hope can get it back next week

anyway, how can we check until when the warranty will end for S2?

Are you having problem with wifi not working too? hmm.gif

Mine can't enable wifi, can't tether internet and can't use kies air

you will need to send it to samsung service center

yeah..same problem here..can't turn on.
just hang and doesn't respond anything.

I just sent for checking at samsung egypt. they said it will be about EGP 3000 @ RM1500+- for the fix.
because he said the warranty from malaysia cannot claim for samsung egypt.
at first I thought the warranty will be cover worldwide, but the answer was no.

so maybe the phone will travel with me on july for RMA.

thanks for your help people.

here another attachment.

it just forever. some people said that wifi direct will do the trick. but again not with this.

thanks.

Based on that screenshot, definitely same problem like mine.

just want to confirm, if i want to send my phone for warranty,

1. can the triangle away app settle everything that a USB jig does? i.e. removing the binary counters and also the yellow triangle. I have read the description but I'm just a bit hesitant.

2.Also, will it reset the 2nd hidden counter as well? Just curious.

3. Does it matter if I'm using GB or ICS bootloader?

Thank you.

Just got back my S2 from repair, the whole motherboard was replaced. My wifi is now working like a charm smile.gif

My S2 was rooted before this, format it back to stock firmware and reset the flash counter using usb jig before sending it back to warranty.

Send my S2 for repair on 22nd June and I got it back today. I can see a lot of people at the service center earlier, some even sent their S3 for repair
