Look man ,u urself said that it was working fine with u before,,,,,so if u dint drop ur handset or something then there could be no problem with ur phone at all,,

And i already told ya that if this problem has something to do with Airtel itself,then there is little that cn be done,,,all customer services are like that,,,so while choosing ur network provider u should keep that in mind that the less u need them ,the better it is...I know its irritating..i was using airtel 3 years back,,but whenever i ws on roaming their network sucked...I personally believe Vodafone to be the best network(it may b wrong for others,,like for ur friend who is doing just fine with Airtel),even through out my journeys,there wasnt a time when i totally lost the signal,,but mayb thats just me.

Did u clear the browser cache??It is the only thing u cn do,,apart from changing ur provider...There is a chance that there may b too much server load on Airtel's network and it will solve after some time..

SGS 2 is capable of giving u speeds upto 21.1 Mbps,,,but it wont help if the service provider is messing with u,,,I hope they do something by 16th as they promised....if not..then u r on ur own brother..
[Galaxy S II General] guitarmafia:
I think it wont fail u,,,cuz from what i saw in my city,the 2nd lot has no problem atall,,,it was the first lot that came with the yello tint,,,i was totally disappointed,,,i then decided to wait,,,and it proved worth... :) Gud luck btw..
[Galaxy S II General] guitarmafia:
Gud Luck then,,,,,just keep control over urself while using 3g on ur sgs2 ;) ....i already used 3 Gb and its not even a month...hehe cuz when u know ur phone can handle any number of apps/games then u do things like that. :D
[Galaxy S II General] anshmiester78900:
lol yeah .!! :D
[Galaxy S II General] anshmiester78900:
hey mate can u tell me the manufacturing date of SGS2 of Second lot ? as it will also give me the idea .! can u plz check ur box n tell me mate ?
[Galaxy S II General] guitarmafia:
On the box it says June,,,,hey dont worry,,,just check some devices,,,,look closely for the yellow spot,,,and u ll find a good handset,,,,i had to check 16 devices the first time :D ....but when the second lot came in my city i dint had to wait at all,,,,
[Galaxy S II General] anshmiester78900:
hmm k thnx (+1) :D now i just need to see June first then i will check the device :D

EDIT: Bro are you from Delhi / Noida / Ghazaibad ?
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
Vodafone is best.
[Galaxy S II General] R3Y:
So June ones are from second lot? I am getting one tomorrow, hope I get it from the newer lot.
[Galaxy S II General] anshmiester78900:
Yeah :D June FTW :D also i will check the phone still .!!
[Galaxy S II General] guitarmafia:
No,i am from Lucknow only.but i ws in Delhi from past 1 year,,,Guess i ll be there again,,not sure,,
[Galaxy S II General] guitarmafia:
Yeah but do check it before buying,,,,dont rely on the "NEWER Lot" thingy... lol
[Galaxy S II General] guitarmafia:
+1 mate ;)
[Galaxy S II General] winlinmac001:
I never dropped the phone. I've cleared the cache a million times even with Airtel's so-called technical support team. since I am going through this problem, my friend should be facing it too, however, that's not the case. Its only my handset. I don't know what Airtel is going to do in regards to this.
[Galaxy S II General] guitarmafia:
It doesnt work that way with High Speed Internets,,,,if we were talking about Edge/2g speeds then u would have been ryt,,,but with 3g its different,,,

Like take landline or usb broadbands for example,,,sometimes a friend of urs is geting 1-2 Mbps speed and u get 20-30 Kbps or nothing at all,,,,,the service provider set priorities according to the connection(dont have much knowledge how they do it,,but kinda depends upon ur plan,ur connection time,etc etc)...the same thing goes for 3g also,,,so its totally under the powers of airtel's team only to help u,,,if they want to help u then everything ll be fine,,,,if they dont,,,then there is no point in complaining anymore...
[Galaxy S II General] anshmiester78900:
ohk cool.!!!!! :D
[Galaxy S II General] anshmiester78900:
hhahha yeah first thing is June then *#0*# test :D

Thanks buddy you were helpful.So how fast does your GPS lock onto satellites??

Also wanted to know if you have installed the latest 2.3.4 firmware??
[Galaxy S II General] anshmiester78900:
WOW .!! great news +1 for ya :D
[Galaxy S II General] guitarmafia:
well outside it takes 5-6 secs to get the gps lock,,,while it takes 10-15 secs when indoor..which is totally awesome,..:)

And no,i dint install 2.3.4 update...as it is just a test rom and has lots of bugs(what else do u expect,,its a leaked version)....i am going to wait for the official release.
[Galaxy S II General] sumatrix:
Even my phone finds alots of satellites and locks onto atleast 60% of them but the thing is that it keeps on loosing the GPS lock which is pretty irritating.Any help on this??
[Galaxy S II General] guitarmafia:
Hmmm,,,,it never happened with me,,i use gps quite oftenly(just for fun,most of the time :D)

Ok i need some more details,,,first u take ur phone outside then turn on ur GPS AND sensors,,,then tell me does it loose lock on its own or after fidgeting with some settings,,
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
I heard that google maps does not provide free turn by turn navigation for India. So what do you use to navigate?
[Galaxy S II General] MorRoquen:
Sygic + downloaded maps for all Indian states. Works perfectly well.
[Galaxy S II General] guitarmafia:
Actually it does provide navigation,,,just not a voice guided one,,u just have to select the compass type sign near the upper right hand corner of the map(after u get the gps lock and set ur destination),,,and it ll give u a good navigation,,,now u can also download maps so u dont have to use any kinda data connection(wifi,3g,gprs,edge)....

Anyways the best navigator for India is Sygic...Atleast i cant find any better maps than Sygic(except of course google maps)....but it is paid(one time payment)..u can get it from the market..
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Thank you both for the info!! I can live without voice untill they are availavble.

Correct me if i am wrong. Google released the latest Google Maps just a few days back which enabled this feature right? so in other words i can navigate with google maps OFFLINE? that wil be awesome!!
[Galaxy S II General] guitarmafia:
yup,,,u r xactly right,,,,just open the maps,,,go to options>>more>>labs...and then enable "download map area"....then just go back to the map again,,,and hold ur finger on the map area u want to download,,,then just download it....after that map will be available for that area even if u have to data connection(u can see it by deactivating data network mode by long pressing the power button and opening the map)....

Remember u can not download very large area,,,like a whole country(according to me u cant do that yet)..

And if u want to download the map of a city just zoom out,,,when the whole city is visible on the map,,hold ur finger in middle of the screen and download the map,,

Keep ur google maps updated...

I am now thinking whether to go for BSNL's 3G Service or Tata DOCOMO's 3G Service. Please shed some light on this for me. Thank you.
[Galaxy S II General] guitarmafia:
if tata docomo's signal is gud in ur area then go for it,,,but their network sucks,,,so dont plan on using it on roaming ever,..their plans and network speed are also fair,,BSNL's signal is better than docomo's(now u can imagine how bad is docomo's network :D )...but their 3g speed is no better than a dial up.....so i guess its ur choice..
[Galaxy S II General] guitarmafia:
try this link,there is a detailed explanation--

Godspeed..

And i think it will delete ur stock google maps....thats y i dont prefer it,,,its better to live with something in final stages(almost final),,than something in beta stages...

Also the link is for HTC dream....but shud work fine on sgs2...it gives u the idea anyway

Tata DOCOMO vs. Idea Cellular

I went to BSNL's office yesterday to test their 3G connection and overall performance quality and I wasn't that impressed. There main tower was next door and I was expecting better speeds. The maximum download speed you can achieve is 1.2 - 2.5mbps and maximum upload speed is unimpressive 500kbps.

Coincidentally, walking around my area I also came across the availability of Idea Cellular and its 3G network. They are offering an attractive package and they operate their services in all 22 telecom circles. I do roaming for work purposes and feel Idea is good (but Tata DOCOMO seems provide better coverage where I reside. They don't have a connection in New Delhi yet, =( ; I think that means you will get connection but with high roaming fees as they place you on a different network). They claim speeds up to 21mbps (but that is for their Data Cards). However, they seem to be using the same technologies as Tata DOCOMO as Tata is also boasting about their 21mbps 3G HSPDA+ speeds. Whereas, Airtel is 7.2mbps max and BSNL is 3.6 mbps max.

I haven't really gotten the chance to play with Tata DOCOMO and Idea Cellular, but want to know what you all think about these two mobile operators. Please post your feedback. Thank you.
[Galaxy S II General] guitarmafia:
Docomo dont even work in delhi(they work on the network of other service providers),,,so i doubt u ll be able to use any 3g at all,,Idea's network is worse than even Docomo's.....among the providers u mentioned,only Airtel is a decent one,,,they almost give u the speed they quote...and their network is good,,,

But i would recommend Vodafone,,,i use it,,,and whatever speed they quote,i get around 5 Mbps downloading speed and 2 Mbps for uploading all the time...their network is best,,,never lost signal completely on any of my journeys(i have a fair share of experience with journeys),,even if there is just 1 bar of signal,u can still make calls without a prob...and when it comes to 3g i think it is best at that too,,,,but mayb thats just me.experience may differ for others.
[Galaxy S II General] anshmiester78900:
I think Airtel & Vodafone is better when it comes to 3G .! Also i think the plans offered by them on the purchase of SGS2 are also good :)

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaitken0308:
Hi,

Running GSB 1.9 on my Eris.

Starting today, my phone has been switching between 3G and 1X, and seems to stay on 1X more.

I've seen posts saying that I should update the PRL by dialing *228 opt 2. Problem though. After dialing *228, I never get the option to open up the keypad to enter option 2. All I get is a red screen with "Activate your phone" at the top, with a note "Please wait while your phone is being programmed." There is a status bar under this note, a "Speaker" button and "Back" button at the bottom. No phone buttons work on this except for the "Home" and "Back" button.

As I'm typing this, I called once more. After waiting on hold, it automatically went into programming and gave me a note that it may take 15 minutes to work.

Nothing's worked yet.

Any help?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
For all of the non-HTC based ROMs (Froyo and GB in particular), if you long-press on menu, it should pop up the keyboard. From there you can change to the numeric entry and press 2 (or 1 if you want to activate the phone.)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alan Wolfe:
Since I can't remember the last time I dialed *228, I decided to give it try.

And long pressing on menu worked as doogald said.

Thanks
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klobkelosh:
You can also insert two 2 second pauses followed by 2 (for roaming update) from the dialer before hitting send.

Curious, did reprogramming help the switching from 1x to 3g?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CondemnedSoul:
or dial *22899 and that will do the same as selecting option 2 when dialing *228
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roose00:
thanks. i did not know this. much easier than long pressing menu, sometimes it doesnt recognize the numbers properly.

Did *228 fix the 3g 1x problem for you? It did not for me, but flashing a newer radio seemed to do the trick.

No, it seemed to fix itself the next day or two. Must have been a Verizon problem.

I wrote a home replacement app for android devices. Because of some special permission, this app must be installed as system app. The devices are rooted.

I also tried to install this app on a HTC Desire HD. But when I reboot, the apk file will be deleted. The logcat prints out the following:

"WARN/PackageManager(1316): System package <system package> no longer exists; wiping its data"

I don't know why I can't install this app as system app and why it is deleted. Can anyone please help me? Where is the mistake in my install-routine?

No one said the Epic can't handle Sense, just that a port is highly unlikely. This isn't about the device at all. The OP could be asking for a port of Sense for his microwave and we'd have the same problem - lack of source code (for Sense, the target device, or both)

Do people actually like TouchWiz? It is pretty much universally panned, looks awful, and at least I never found it to be particularly stable. Sense, however, actually adds polish to Android. I loved Sense when I had the Evo, hated TW on my Epic, and am actually happy with the Epic now that I have a rom that gets rid of much of it.

The real question is when I can get a hardware keyboard delete mod.

[Epic 4G General] Reginalb124:
For one, I had to try it to know I didn't like it. ;) It is kind of a long story. I was in a bike crash with my evo, and had to get an insurance replacement. But Evos were still hard to come by at the time, and Asurion told me it could be 2-3 weeks before I got a replacement. Meanwhile, I had paid full price for the Evo, but by my crash with it, I was eligible for upgrade, and I like to get new phones a lot, I am a bit of a gadget nut. So I figured, what the hell, I will give the Epic a try. I liked the idea of a hardware keyboard, it is this one specifically that I don't like. And there are things I really like about the phone, like the Hummingbird, and the beautiful Super-AMOLED screen. So there are pros and cons, it is just that I consider TW one of the cons. And a lot of others do as well (every reviewer of it whose reviews I have read, for example).

Now that I am running Frankenstein Froyo, I love the phone, I just would like the slimmer profile of it without the pullout keyboard that I never pull out. The keyboard delete comment was really tongue in cheek (although the TW comment was not). I like the phone a lot in its current state. And there isn't a device on the market that checks all of my boxes. This one checks enough, though.
[Epic 4G General] gtuansdiamm:

[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
Tha would only apply if sprint gets a gsII. And samung could still market the better hardware. Super Amoled Plus, better processor, etc. Only geeks(using the term loosely) care about the version number of touchwiz.
