Atrix on Bell is $600 off contract ..I expect SGS2 to cost more.
[Galaxy S II General] hansonator:
Doubtful, but it would be awesome if it came here compatible with Bell/Telus 42Mbit HSPA+. Its now available here in Calgary and the coverage area is huge, extends well beyond the city.

It's gonna be so damn difficult to not get this when it comes and wait until my upgrade to get a new phone. :/
[Galaxy S II General] twigggs:
Just got a bill for $99.00 HST from Fedex.
[Galaxy S II General] blunted09:
so what is the phone totalling out to all said and done?
[Galaxy S II General] ptscon:
Yeap thats normal, they send charges in the mail.

Thats why I used Clove since they offer shipping via Royal Mail ..meaning it will get delivered by Canada Post and there's always a chance of not having any charges. FedEx, UPS, DHL ..you always get hit.
[Galaxy S II General] Beast11:
Why don't you guys get it from eXpansys? Doesnt that ship from Ontario? So no charges like that?
[Galaxy S II General] ptscon:
You will get charged 13% tax. The FedEx fee is tax. With Canada Post they let items through without charges quite often.

I have an SGS 2 SHW-M250S (Korean model, unlocked). I might have to return to Canada from Korea sooner rather than later. Has anyone over there tried this model? It seems I should be able to jump on rogers on it. The specs seem the same as the I9100 (although I have NFC support via SIM and DMB TV support both of which I don't care for, I use a regular sim on it).

Supported networks are: GSM 850/900/1800/1900 and WCDMA 850/900/1900/2100 with data support for HSUPA, HSDPA, WCDMA, EDGE and GPRS.

Just wondering if it would be in my best interest to part with this amazing phone before I go or if I can get some good use out of it in Canada?
[Galaxy S II General] ptscon:
It will work fine.
[Galaxy S II General] ptscon:
Well looks like my Clove order via Royal Mail back fired.

Yesterday tracking on Canada Post site said the package is being reviewed by customs. Now, looks like Canada Post is on strike or something and even their site is down.
[Galaxy S II General] np231:
Ontario?

Hey, can you please keep us updated.. let us know if you end up paying taxes.. also can you share your province b/c taxes are different everywhere...

yeah that canadapost strike is a *****... their website says that they are still operating but only three days a week .. you can find more details on their website..
[Galaxy S II General] ptscon:
My package was released from customs 36h ago.

Last tracking update was 15 hours ago "Item processed at postal facility".

It should be delivered tomorrow I would guess. I will most likely get hit with taxes since it was inspected by customs :(

I ordered mine from Handtec, had to pay $43 in tax when it was delievered to me me, in all, the total price after tax was around $740
[Galaxy S II General] krazykat:
$700 flat - Pacific Mall.

I know some seller cause I bought SGI from him last year. Gives me a good price if I buy more than one phone (I usually find friends who buy with me). Driving up this Friday. =D

[Galaxy S II General] wanjeyin:
Got mine from SK Mobile at Crystal Mall in Burnaby, BC. $799 + HST. Works beautifully on Virgin Mobile.

According to the phone specs:

PDA:I9100XWKE2

Phone: I9100XXKDJ

CSC: I9100OXFKD4

This device was slated for release in the Denmark/Romania market.

Once this device is sold by the local carriers (Belus/Robbers), I'll probably debrand my phone and have it run off firmware for the Canadian market. Right now I'm running on KE2 downloaded off Kies. At the moment, any updates I get depend on whether they are released in Denmark/Romania!

Got mine from ebay for $750 plus duty.

I get about 6.3Mbps down on Rogers in Winnipeg.

Patiently waiting on LTE.

Didn't have to set APNs. It picked it up right away

Ordered mine from Clove on the 23rd. It arrived yesterday. Total duties/taxes in MB was $86. I chose Royal mail/canada post.

Sgs was sold at 499 without contract by bell. It is the rogers that priced their captivate at 599.

[Galaxy S II General] balto:
What is the name of the shop in pmall that is selling for 700?
[Galaxy S II General] redsnoopy04:
Yes, would like to know too! I was there 2 weeks ago and they didn't have it and when asked when did they expect it in, the girl couldn't tell me. :(
[Galaxy S II General] ptscon:
Mine just came in. Got hit with $100 in taxes :(

I'm not even opening it, going to sell it locally. It ended up too much after going through customs.
[Galaxy S II General] blue265:
Anyone know if our sgs2 will be compatible with LTE? I don't think they are but thought I'd ask. With rogers I get anywhere from .5mbps to 6mpbs depending on time of day around toronto area. Its the worst downtown during the workday
[Galaxy S II General] balto:
How much are you going to sell it for?
[Galaxy S II General] aly19:
anyone know where I will be able to find cases or screen protectors? I live in Calgary, would Pacific Mall be a place where I can find a case or screen protector?

thanks
[Galaxy S II General] blue265:
I bought my case and screen protectors from Ebay. There are loads of them on there and if you check the Galaxy S II Accessories section there are some people posting their opinions on some of the products with links.
[Galaxy S II General] aly19:
yeah I already ordered some, but I have a feeling that they will take a while, I just want to use my SGS II as I am not using it at the moment because I don't have a case or screen protector yet
[Galaxy S II General] blue265:
I know what you mean. I had to wait a week after my SGS2 arrived until I got my case. Luckily my screen protectors came in a few days before but I really didn't like having the phone without a case. I wrapped it in a microfibre cloth when carrying it in my jacket pocket at the time, lol
[Galaxy S II General] aly19:
yeah it sucks having to wait when you already have the phone haha, don't want to break a $700 investment so might as well wait eh
[Galaxy S II General] reyza:
I just used it right away..the back seems pretty durable. I've seen, that video where someone just flexes it like crazy and it survives. The front glass is gorilla glass which is super durable
[Galaxy S II General] reyza:
Yes SGS II is LTE capable
[Galaxy S II General] ptscon:
How did you manage to get this for only $700?:confused:
[Galaxy S II General] Techvir:
I am not so sure u r right. LTE is a different technology and SGS II does not support it. I dont know any gsm phone that supports it .
[Galaxy S II General] aly19:
well $700 before taxes, after tax it was about $743 from Handtec

Canadian SGS II - Coming Soon!!!

Hi everyone, great news... Samsung Canada has finally put a page up saying that the SGS II is coming soon to Canada...

here is the link:

http://pages.samsung.com/ca/galaxys/English/
[Galaxy S II General] aridoasis:
you're right as LTE uses a diff radio. SGS II is, however, capable of HSPA+ of up to 21Mbps - carrier dependent of course.
[Galaxy S II General] yamanote:
GT-i9100 is '4G capable', yes, but it's not LTE capable. It supports HSPA+ is all.
[Galaxy S II General] prince_72:
I have a question for the Canadian owners of S II

I just received it and as soon as I put my fido sim card I received a

voicemail notification. I did not have any notification with my Atrix.

Also I tried my sim card back to my Nexus One and again I did not have anything.

Now I left a message to my voicemail and I dialed from my S II

I heard the message and I deleted it but unfortunately

the voicemail notification is there.

I hard reset my S II twice, I flashed two difference ROMs but again nothing.

At last I called Fido to reset my voicemail and again nothing.

Has anyone faced that problem?

It is very annoying having that notification in the status bar.

How can I erase the notification?
[Galaxy S II General] reyza:
I stand corrected. I had high hopes but I feel a little disappointed now
[Galaxy S II General] dinan:
What kind of speeds are you guys getting and on which network?

On Rogers the speeds don't seem that great... top out at around 2mbps down and 1bmps up (downtown TO). I've seen the Atrix hit 7mbps down on Bell's network =\
[Galaxy S II General] laglessserf:
I constantly get over 5Mbps. when tethered to my computer, I can download at speeds over 1.1Mb/sec!

I'm downtwon too, near the danforth.

P.S. Using Fido here

here are some test. tethered to computer
[Galaxy S II General] yamanote:
Don't be disappointed- doesn't Telus HSPA+ use the same frequencies? So you'd be able to get '4G' speeds...

if the SGSII was an LTE handset you wouldn't be able to get 4G speeds atm ;)
[Galaxy S II General] asdfasd2:
Hey guys I am on telus in edmonton, anyone tried disabling "fast dormancy" yet?

It's one of the topics on this board, I would post the link but I'm on my phone.
[Galaxy S II General] blue265:
I live in Oakville but work downtown Toronto. I do notice the speeds downtown can be quite slow especially during the day. I normally get 0.5bps to 1mpps during the day. However if I am working late, the speeds will shoot up to over 5mbps downtown. I think the system gets clogged during working days. In Oakville I get about 2 and have gotten up to 6mbps in and around the Oakville/Mississauga area.
[Galaxy S II General] redsnoopy04:
Did you end up getting the phone after all? All is good? Will be dropping by Pac Mall this Saturday and check out the phone. :p
[Galaxy S II General] Elythor:
I'm also on Telus in Edmonton. I have disabled fast dormancy and speed doesn't really change. On a good day/location I usually average 4Mbps Down and 1.2 Up.

As for battery life....I'm a pretty heavy user so I have to charge all the time anyway.
[Galaxy S II General] kcaz:
Has anyone upgraded to KF3 and lost their H+ data?

I have a Spanish-bought GS2 but I am back in Canada visiting family and using a Bell SIM card while I am here. Yesterday Kies had an upgrade from KE2 to KF3. Before the upgrade I had H+, but now only see H and my data speeds have gone from 5-7 Mb/s to 1.5 Mb/s downloading.
[Galaxy S II General] elena11:
I have the polish SGS II and when I installed KF2 I had lots of problems with data and voice connection. Now I am back to KE4 and things are smooth.
[Galaxy S II General] kcaz:
Flashed back to KE2 and I have H+ again. I'll upgrade when I go back home.
[Galaxy S II General] Exidrion:
I'm also on Telus in Edmonton. I have a question for you. Are you able to dial "#1234# or #016# and get the firmware info, or does it tell you "Connection problem or invalid MMI" as well?
[Galaxy S II General] asdfasd2:
*#1234# works for me
[Galaxy S II General] Elythor:
*#1234# works fine for me. *#016# does nothing.
[Galaxy S II General] Exidrion:
WOW. All this time I didn't notice the "*" . THANK YOU.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kabeza:
Hi

My bro got an unlocked X10 mini pro and rooted it.

We are having a problem. After configuring provider apn settings, we tried to browse some common pages, but couldn't open any page.

We also tried market but couldn't download any app. The apps are in "Download paused" but never begin downloading...

The only thing that syncs is gmail. It works perfect. When I sync or write an email, the "H" icon arrows become white and transfer data, etc. (this doesn't happen with browser or market)

When we enable wifi, everything works perfect! PS: H icon dissapears when wi-fi ON

What's wrong? Apn settings, android version, the browser or market app?

What can we try to fix this? Thanks

Im having trouble getting audio for my boot animation to work (not sure what to name it or where to place) . Boot animation works just cant get sound, tryed moving it to the etc folder and audio folder. Would some1 please help me out or send me in the right direction. And yes I did search on this but seem different from phone to phone.thanks in advance for any help.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] poopypoo13:
What version are you running?

Fully stock?

Kd1?

Kc1?

If your running kd1 your going to have to look in sgs4g/development thread, well same for kc1

If your running any other version than I'm sure you will have to reflash your phone with the boot animation kernel(make sure it's for sgs4g not any other phone model)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GDofWR420:
I have stock KB5 and I have flashed the bootanimation kernal. I have not flashed anything else. Everything is great except no sounds on the boot up screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] poopypoo13:
Try using sgs tools from the market it helps put your boot up and shut down sounds in the right folders just make sure you have the sounds in your root folder in your sd card

A lot of people have tried just pushing the sound files in their respected folders and just doing it over and over til it works.

But for kb5 boot up sound should be in system/etc(should be in .wav format)

For shut down sound it should be in system/media/ui (should be in .ogg format)

Oh for kb5 you can go to the development section and there is a thread for boot animation file called modd5 or something, that could help you

Hope that helps
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GDofWR420:
Ill give it a shot and post results today. And thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GDofWR420:
Ok tryed sgs tools but it would not change the ext. Placed it were it said to sdcard/sgstools, used sgs tools and nothing happened. also the file im trying to change is in mp3 format, dont know if that makes a differince.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fknfocused:
I use SGS Tools also, you have to apply it twice till it reboots your device. I used it on KB5 before and now use it on KC1. I cannot confirm it on KD1 because im still on KC1.

note: GdofWr420 you have to use the above formats for it to work. Convert MP3 to .ogg and .wav using appropriate program.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GDofWR420:
Thanks fknfocused for the info. I went ahead and flashed the deodexed KD1 and im in the process of trying again. now no bootanimation at all just on shutdown cause all I had to do was swap .png files. Ill let yall know.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] poopypoo13:
Kd1 is not going to let you boot up animation the files are different, well as I understand it.also the boot up sound is in a different format too, we will have to figure out how to change that.

So far I have no luck.

Kb5,kc1 is good to modbut kd1i have no luck
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GDofWR420:
I recall krylon360 saying new .zips. need too be in edify format or something to that affect. I just get the black screen bootup now not a big deal. I am however going to see about edifying script maybe we just have to alter old bootanimation.zip slightly.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Ichibahn SLC:
I can confirm that SGS tools will work for the bootup sounds on KD1. Haven't checked the shutdown sounds yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GDofWR420:
Now that I'm on KD1 my boot animation does not come up. Tryed flashing edifyed version of bootanimation but didn't take and installation was aborted.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] poopypoo13:
Yes kd1 won't take boot animation, I haven't found a work around yet sorry
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GDofWR420:
Ill be waiting. Take your time devs rather have it good and stable. Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] robbbbit:
Check out my thread in themes. Galaxys s original boot and shutdown screens and sounds... Hope it helps!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] poopypoo13:
Okay so I see what is has happened with the 4g/update and its nothing you all don't know.

1st off even if you do white's kd1 deodexed the boot up audio has changed/dissappeared to a .sng or something file but if you add a powron.wav file to system/etc. It will boot up with that audio

2nd shut down animation is still the same just push the .png files to the system/media/video folder and your golden

3rd building a mod might take some time for. Zip files to work but for now only .qmg files will work for boot up animation

Sorry if you already knew this

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chadster214:
changing bootanimation requires a modded kernel. if you're running KD1 bootanimation.zip will not work. unless you know how to convert bootanimation.zip to a .qmg file.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GDofWR420:
Do you convert the whole zip or files inside the zip?

and FKNFOCUSED modded notification bar. rockin CWM3 BETA.now with BALI KERNEL COURTESY OF DRHONK
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] poopypoo13:
You pretty much have to convert the files in the .Zip but also have to mod the kernal to read the .zip

If you just convert the .zip then you wont need the .zip anymore,basically the files in the zip will be combined into a .qmg

Which I don't know how to do =P

If that made sense

I've searched and looked through similar threads, but not found a clear/definitive answer on if there's a video player out there I can use to stream video from my NAS to my Nook (CM7). Any idea?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] -RioT-:
Is there a cifs module for the nook cm7? I know with cifs manager you can watch videos from a network share.

Hi today i was trying to record some videos on full 1080p and i noticed that the camera is very bad on this . I compaire to my nexus s that records 480p, Nexus s records better video even tough its not HD, what u guy think of the camera do u feel thet its 1080p or even 720p quality?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spyvie:
I think it's pretty darn good, though I do think it's better at 720 than it is at 1080. The Engadget review said essentially the same thing.

I have a Nexus as well, it's camera worked just fine also, just not as fine as the G2x camera does.

There is a thread around here somewhere with a number of G2x YouTube test videos in it, lemme see if I can find it...

i dont know i dont see it being better then nexus s, i'm recording it outside and when i move around and record the video becomes very bad starts dropping frames, i do the same with nexus s its very good , i think its just a marketing to just put 1080p on the box to sell phones.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nraudigy2:
This phone does 24FPS at 1080p but 30FPS with 720p. 720p should be smoother.

I did 720p too its smoother but the video looks blurred, and yes I cleaned the lenses:)

Could be just your phone. Mine is better than my Vibrant. Does Nexus S even have 720p recording? I thought it doesn't.
