[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Kennnn:
One word... never!

Sony Ericsson are not interested in the mini pro no more, thats why I'm never buying an SE phone again, they can stick their customer service where the sun don't shine.

Owain will more than likely develop a bug free gingerbread rom before them, And then SE will take the source, add timescape, arc and their crappy apps, thus saving their dev team time and money.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ambrosiosanchez:
As of december 2010 you could call SE to ask if the x10 would get multitouch and they would say no, but as of february 2011 you can call SE to ask the same and they would say yes.

As of january 2011 you could call SE to ask if the x10 would get 2.2 update and they would say no, but as of april 2011 you can call SE now asking for 2.3 and they would say yes.

I know, that's the big x10 not the mini(pro), and the dates might be wrong, but I think you got the idea, SE is capable of changing his mind.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Carcass.br:
x10 have a hardware MUCH better than mini pro...

SE 's not interested in mini pro because he don't have a excellent hardware.

Or you really think that 1~2 years ahead SE will be busy updating an old device?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ambrosiosanchez:
Good. We all know that the big x10 has a much better hardware, but that has nothing to do with my point. I'm just saying that an argument like "It wont be because SE said so" is not very consistent. I guess that somewere in this forum we can find a post saying something like

btw, 1~2 years ahead? weren't we talking about Q2 or Q3 of 2011?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Carcass.br:
Well... My argument(i think) is not inconsistent...

And about Q2 ~ Q3, SE said in official blog that it will not happen...

I'm arguing about it...

Not understand me wrong, i really want 2.3 in x10 mini too, but believe in something inconsistent is hypocrisy...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] loki4321:
I hope everybody can read and nobody is blind.. if u can both of this you see

The update is just für the big X10
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ambrosiosanchez:
Ok,

early 2010 in SE product blog: The X10 will have multitouch.

late 2010 in SE product blog: The X10 IS NOT capable of multitouch.

early 2011 in SE product blog: The X10 IS capable of multitouch.

This is an inconsistency.

Therefore, quoting SE product blog is not a very strong argument.

Obviously, the same goes for SE online customer service, so we don't know who to trust...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Carcass.br:
But x10 is a better device than mini pro is, is OBVIOUS that they will focus on better devices, now they have xperia arc, xperia pro, xperia neo, xperia play, xperia x10, all of these devices deserve more attention than mini pro...

I'm not being pessimist, like i said before, i wanna android 2.3 on mini pro too, but it is very very very difficult to happen...

Just give time and we'll see if mini pro will have 2.3 or not(but I don't have much hope on this...)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] handasan10:
Just rumor not confirmed yet, and then good bye to 2.3 on our mini pro, just hoping Owain to come up with bugs free Gigglebread..

Just google for new sony ericsson xperia x10 mini pro and you may found interesting pics of new X10 mini pro..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] zain3ie:
hmm... i thinks you must read this post first http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1011841. In that post, Owain say goodbye to mini and mini pro.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SenfMeister:
That's a old post.

He has returned a looong time ago :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Kisscool841:
Maybe the one who didn't understood was you...

He is still dev for mini pro...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] zain3ie:
ooh.. emm.. yes. I just read early post. anyway that is good news.

Hey guys I jst bought a mini pro yesterday and installed gigglebread. Is there a fix somewhere for the dialer? As the 123 buttons are half missing and 0 when I open in call keypad.

Thanks

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nujhum:
I'm not sure how to put this, either no or not sure. But I believe sony said they will only provide ginggerbread update for xperia x10.

So don't hope too much getting update for our mini and pro.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bamatide2007:
Would it be possible for someone to create a custom service icon? I really like my super circle battery indicator, and was wondering if someone has or could make something similiar for the service bars. I know absolutely nothing about coding, or the phone programing to know if its possible. Thanks in advance!
[HTC Inspire 4G] SNadler:
Take a look at the indicator in Coredroid 5.1 thebest Ive seen yet.

They might be able to give you the mod? :)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbrissen:
Someone yanked on my miniusb cable and the usb port on my tab is now busted and unusable. The issue I have now is I tried to flash a new rom (cm7 update to what I was already running) but now it won't boot past the android screen. I can still get into CWM but the few roms I tried flashing all sit at the android screen (I've wiped and formatted everything several times). Are there any options i have? Any way to flash back to stock without the minisub?
[Galaxy S II General] teh_pwnage:
Alright so I apologize in advance if this is somewhere on the forum already, and seeing as Google is being uncooperative and giving me a great number of suspected US release dates I was just wondering if anyone had any inside info on when this godly phone will launch in Canada/with which carriers/what cost will be?

I'm finally off contract and wanna dump my POS BBerry Storm for it!
[Galaxy S II General] nixguy:
it doesn't matter, because once it's released in the US you can buy it unlocked online...
[Galaxy S II General] teh_pwnage:
That would be great if I wasn't on a student's budget (engineering in ontario ain't cheap)
[Galaxy S II General] nixguy:
lol...i know...in Ontario nothing is cheep anymore

WOOO $8500 + books a year in tuition!
[Galaxy S II General] woozlewuzzle:
I'm so selling my Galaxy S for the S2. The S2 just looks like a very good upgrade over the first Galaxy S
[Galaxy S II General] TheSobadef:
I would LOVE to have the date, because I've been holding off upgrading my desire for a few months and would love for it to come to Telus (hopefully first!). But if not, I would have no problem jumping ship to Bell to get this beautiful marvel of technology!!
[Galaxy S II General] dreadlord369:
How about 38 grand a year in tuition...:( I have to get all my money from "recycling" my gadgets. Like buy a couple phones on contract, sell em off contract for a little extra profit and use the net gain to buy say a desktop or something. Or sell old desktop (old as in 6 months) and use that money to buy phone+laptop. Because of this cycle I don't have one computer or phone for more than 6 months at a time.
[Galaxy S II General] AllGamer:
Hoping for Windmobile / MobilityCity to bring them into Canada

then we'll have the proper 1700+2100 version

the AT&T 850/1900 version is available for pre order already in many sites
[Galaxy S II General] dinan:
Yea I wouldn't complain about under 10k/yr in tuition... that's a bargain even at state schools in the US.

Anyway, I'm just waiting for T-mobile's version so I can use it on WIND... I really don't want to have to switch to Bell/Telus/Rogers/Fido to be able to use the SGS2.
[Galaxy S II General] teh_pwnage:
Oh i can complain when it's working 4 jobs while trying to juggle an engineering degree to pay tuition and rent
[Galaxy S II General] arlojj:
Unless somebody has some inside info, I'd just suggest watching Samsung Mobile Canada's Twitter feed.

Right now they are totally focused on the release of the Nexus S this week, so I wouldn't expect them to give a release date for the S II until that noise settles down.

Gah, can't wait. My old HTC Touch (running Android) is dying a little more each day. Almost useless now.
[Galaxy S II General] mickliq:
A Touch running Android? That's insane! My Desire barely handled Froyo due to low memory!!!
[Galaxy S II General] arlojj:
Actually, the latest builds people have cooked (and not with 1.5, 2.2.1!) actually run pretty damn smooth. It's come a long way. I have the Bell version of the touch which is at 400Mhz. I doubt the 200Mhz touch would be enjoyable, though.

In fact, I keep checking this forum for the latest SII news from the taptalk app. :) Some of the more demanding applications don't work very smooth (ex: the official twitter app with it's moving clouds background), and there always seem to be random bugs with different builds (no audio input for voice search or guitar tuners for example) but people are still, surprisingly, churning out more and more refined editions.

If it wasn't for the fact that the top button on my phone was broken (yeah, critical, I have to keep the phone's screen on and therefore the phone plugged in all the time, hence I can't for for the S II to come out!) it would be a pretty damn usable in most respects.
[Galaxy S II General] TheSobadef:
Can't wait for it either!!! But at the same time, in an effort to improve my Desire, I have endless hours of fun trying out new roms, exotic roms!! Hopefully this thing will come close to the kind of support that thing has...
[Galaxy S II General] teh_pwnage:
Resisting the urge to "insert stupid random comment here"... I want to say everything in the HTC EVO Vs. iPhone 4 video only make the iPhone zombie want an SGS II (making him smart and saving someone's life!)
[Galaxy S II General] TheSobadef:
GUYS one of the reporters for mobile syrup spoke to the canadian samsung VP and confirmed a late Q2-early Q3 launch!!!

http://mobilesyrup.com/2011/04/14/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-coming-to-canada-by-early-q3/
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
I figure you will have to wait for the NS buzz to cool down and then they will pop this out of no where for the rest of the bunch that didnt get the NS.

You will see this in end June or July to fight the iPhone 5 release, IF Apple is releasing it in July, otherwise it will be Sept.
[Galaxy S II General] teh_pwnage:
Either way I don't care... I want the SGS II, NS to me is old tech....

That news makes me beyond happy... you have no idea... and with a possible new job in the works plenty of time to save!
[Galaxy S II General] arlojj:
Eeeeech. End of June, early July? :( Sigh.

At least by then my full Bell contract will be over, so I can choose a different carrier if need be. Can't wait to get rid of this HTC Touch/Vogue.
[Galaxy S II General] horusray:
Does that mean Canadian carrier(s) will get a limited number of i9100 (with Exynos and SAMOLED+) before the variants?

Another question: did Rogers or other mobile companies ever have the original Galaxy S - i9000 on stock?

If Rogers is going to release the original SII, hence i9100, I don't mind waiting for another 2~3 months for the upgrade...
[Galaxy S II General] teh_pwnage:
I think bell did... not entirely sure
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
When do you guys have the Tabs coming? I think that the SGS II will launch there before the Tabs. Perhaps it might differ but India, the Flagship phone then the Tabs is whats mentioned.
[Galaxy S II General] teh_pwnage:
carriers here are ass holes... getting that kind of info from them would be like trying to pull teeth on a t-rex
[Galaxy S II General] AllGamer:
never did

they only had the crippled version

only Bell had the original i9000m
[Galaxy S II General] arlojj:
Hopefully they get the best variant again (since I have bargaining power with them, ha).

But whatever. It would be interesting if different carriers had different variants so we that have fulfilled our contracts could have a choice!
[Galaxy S II General] teh_pwnage:
ha ha so do I and they wanna do what ever they can to keep me... been out of contract for a year now :P only thing is telus has superior data plans....... haven't tried their retentions yet though... last time i did they said it didn't exist...
[Galaxy S II General] teh_pwnage:
Some hopes and dreams... that will likely crash and die

So for my fellow Canadians that may be waiting on one of the big 3 (Bell, Telus, Rogers) to launch this amazing piece of tech, I have put email into people I have met through work to attempt to find out if any of them are going to be launching the GS2 and when if they are... I'll keep you all posted should any of them reply.

If I haven't heard back in two weeks or they tell me to frak off and die... I'll keep you guys posted.

I'm not entirely optimistic but what ever... and if you're annoyed by me bumping this... sorry.

Update of Sorts --- From Telus

Here is what I have as a response from Telus, I'm going to be optimistic and treat this as Telus will be launching the GS2

"Hello James,

TELUS is committed to launching all of the latest devices that our clients may be interested in using on our network. We are unable to provide firm dates on future hardware release dates however, as new devices must undergo stringent testing prior to being approved for use on our network.

All new devices approved for use on our network, are usually announced on our web site. As such, I would suggest you bookmark the following page to ensure that you are kept up to date with all future hardware releases:

http://www.telusmobility.com/en/ON/home/

I appreciate your interest in TELUS' products and services and regret that I couldn't provide you with more specific details regarding the Samsung Galaxy S II release date.

Best regards"

Thoughts? Still waiting to hear back form Bell and Rogers... If any one has contacts in WIND/Mobilicity that can contribute I'd appreciate the help.
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
thoughts??? this was first time you emailed a big company? you got a generic canned response mate :) this adds no news or info to the topic :)

Now if you had a friend on the inside who would risk his/her position to spill to you some insiders info, that would be very helpful. But that thing happens almost never.
[Galaxy S II General] teh_pwnage:
well that was using the portal my friend working at telus told me to use.... well guess now to call him a ex friend
[Galaxy S II General] np231:
Question

I'm just curious, how many Canadians are pre-ordering this phone? or is the majority just waiting for the release in Canada?

Its really tempting not to pre-order right now. What do you guys think, is the price gonna go down (~$500-600) once the phone gets to Canada?
[Galaxy S II General] teh_pwnage:
I'm out of contract so I can get a deal and a huge credit on it if I wait... that's just me though and if you have that opportunity i'd recommend it too... but if you have the money to pre-order and get it here by all means go for it!
[Galaxy S II General] teh_pwnage:
Twitter Campaign Time

Alright so I'm tired of waiting for an actual response from inside the big 3, only real response I've gotten is from my contact at Rogers who straight up told me that he isn't willing to risk his job by telling me any phones that are up coming at Rogers (and no that is not a confirmation that Rogers is getting it). So let's take a page out of supercurio's book and nag Samsung Canada on twitter for some real info

Yeah some of you are gonna say it's not gonna do anything but hell I'm up for trying and anyone else who wants to is more then welcome to try too!

I'll even give you the tweet I used:

"@SamsungMobileCA since the #GalaxySII is launching in the #UK within the next few weeks... any chance on dropping the Canadian launch date?"

Like I said if you're in feel free to copy pasta that and use it... if you think I'm nuts or huffin' glue/jenk/paint feel free to laugh at me too!
[Galaxy S II General] dinan:
Don't even know the US launch dates so getting the Canadian ones would be even harder...
[Galaxy S II General] mickliq:
Canuck here and can't wait so paying silly no contract price to be on bleeding edge ;)
[Galaxy S II General] teh_pwnage:
Everything that I've seen that's been posted has looked as though Canada might be getting it before the US............. Apparently our big 3 grew up a tiny bit
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
Can you please elaborate on "everything"? There has been only ONE mention of some guy talking to some other guy at some conference and that other guy mentioned something like "SGS2 would be coming to CA in September, before it comes to the US". I would not give this any thought at all, just noise, no real info.
[Galaxy S II General] teh_pwnage:
goin off the what mobile syrup report was here
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
Thanks! that is the piece I had in mind! So it is not September, it is early Q3, nice. But I still do not trust this at all, especially the part that US will get it after Canada. Samsung and the big 4 providers will make the huge US market wait till after the beginning of Q3 ? It's millions of dollars in potential sales :)
[Galaxy S II General] teh_pwnage:
I agree with you but in reality it all comes down to who's gonna concede first in negotiation... if the US carriers are gonna bicker for longer and demand variants and the canadian carriers will take as is it will launch earlier here.... in north america it stupidly comes down to the carriers... I wish north america had the variety that europe has....
[Galaxy S II General] arlojj:
I don't think this is going to be an effective strategy. The guy running the twitter account isn't going to go, "Boy, I'm tired of being asked this question, I'm going to pester the guys higher up to see if I can get a date to shut these people up." or even "Boy, there seems to be a lot of interest in the Galaxy S II, I'm going to skip our Twitter marketing plan and let them know the date of a phone that's month's away instead of promoting our current Canadian phones".

Know what I mean?

But September. Sheesh. That's ridiculous. India gets it in April and we have to wait 5 months!?! Here's hoping for late June at least.
[Galaxy S II General] teh_pwnage:
like i said to each their own.. i just feel like annoying them today lol
[Galaxy S II General] chimpert:
Hey guys, Im looking to pre-order the phone from the UK as i desperately want a new phone... Just had a question for you guys...

I've never bought a phone online before, but im being told by some friends that I will be charged additional Tax (HST) for any item received over $20. Do you guys know if thats true? or do the shippers mark it as a Gift under $100?
[Galaxy S II General] teh_pwnage:
couldn't tell ya but don't be suprised if you do have to pay tax/duty/both on it as it will be an import... don't expect the seller to mark it a gift under $100.... always expect the worst and hope for the best
[Galaxy S II General] np231:
Hey I am in similar situation but I have some valuable info for you. I contacted clove regarding this (marking the product as gift worth <$100) and Clove said they cannot do that.

You will indeed get charged HST if the supplier marks the product with original price. So $700 aprox. + HST(13%) = $791. This is the only reason I haven't ordered the phone yet. Usually ebay sellers are less strict and they will mark the product as gift so I am just waiting for the right price.

If anyone has ordered the phone please let us know if you were aware about this and/or your alternate plans.
[Galaxy S II General] chimpert:
Thanks for the reply guys.. yea I did some more reading and found that there will be HST so yea we will be looking at around $791 CAD for the phone :( all the costs add up :P
[Galaxy S II General] np231:
Mobilecityonline and LTE

I just got an email back from MobileCityOnline. They won't declare the phone as a gift. So it doesn't look good for you if you are trying to reduce the total cost.

I think the major retailers like clove, handtec, mobilecityonline, etc.. won't do it as this might be traced back to them and they might get in trouble.

In other Canadian news, Rogers has a LTE website up for information purposes. LTE coming to Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa and Vancouver this year!! http://iwantmylte.ca/

Should I wait for a LTE phone rather than the SGSII.
[Galaxy S II General] CarbonX13:
I thought the Galaxy S II has a 4G/LTE variant?

I sure hope this phone comes to Rogers...
[Galaxy S II General] np231:
Nothing confirmed yet. I hope it comes to Canada soon.. patience is running out... LTE version would nice, I would buy it right away..

[Galaxy S II General] shozzking:
I've been told by one of the samsung reps at work that its coming out in mid-july on bell but I'm not sure how reliable that is. I hope that hes right with the release date but wrong on the carrier XD
[Galaxy S II General] teh_pwnage:
So do I... I want to leave bad generally bad data plans and the 6 years of poor customer service i've experienced behind me (yes all that comes with your Bell mobility contract.

I suspect the date might be right though as here's a ray of hope (link from samsung mobile canada's twitter: http://pages.samsung.com/ca/galaxys/English/)

Yeah as much as it pains be to say it carrier might be right too though :( (weren't they the only ones not to launch Nexus S?)

SGSII to release on July 14 on Bell Canada

there is already a thread on this but it doesn't hurt to mention again

The rumours about mid July release were right... looks like SGSII will be released on July 14 with Bell:

http://mobile.engadget.com/2011/06/20/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-headed-to-bell-on-july-14/

[Galaxy S II General] teh_pwnage:
Didn't know that..... I just figured I'd put it in the read I started way back lol

Swyped from my transformer
[Galaxy S II General] blue265:
I wonder if it will be the i9100 version or a slightly variated model. Like the Bell i9000M which really wasn't much different than the i9000. I hope thats the case, just so we can have more people hence more development for one model. Pretty sure the Attain will be fairly different though and Rogers will probably pick that up like they did the Captivate.
[Galaxy S II General] teh_pwnage:
Personally if there is any variation i hope its a NFC chip
[Galaxy S II General] blue265:
I hope not. But its only because my i9100 doesn't have it and I'm the jealous type. :D lol
[Galaxy S II General] teh_pwnage:
Well if bell does get it luckily I have a full upgrade credit. Only had to endure 3 years with a BlackBerry storm lol
[Galaxy S II General] teh_pwnage:
Alright so just walked out of bell after finding a landing page for their launch of the SGS2 (or as they're dubbing it the Samsung Galaxy S II 4G). The surrendered an official launch date of the 14th. They are also going on the assumption that they will have the samsung SoC.

For those of you that will yell at me for reviving a "dead" thread..... this is my quickest way to share.
