scratchgard products has zero haze

amzer has anti glare + smudge free

i havent seen anti glare + zero haze combined in a screenguard. its up to the users to choose i think.

btw got amzer one from flipkart yesterday, i really love it for its antiglare function. its a real bang for money despite cheap.
[Galaxy S II General] ano.cresent:
precisely the reason ... I gave the link to your yesterday's post in the forum :D
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
There I have attached the screen shot right away. What are the interpretations?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
your device does goes to sleep mode,where is the problem?:confused: did u install any app that frequently tries to connect to internet? as ithehappy said post those details along with a logcat in BBS thread, BBS dev will help you.

@ chetan

stupid guy, he thinks himself kinda android police to investigate stupid things.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
It's simple, device is running at 200 MHz for majority of time, 25% Deep sleep, you must be downloading something or listening to music which keeps the phone on 200 MHz instead of deep sleep.

PS- I am the most late person in this thread ;)

If the Galaxy S3 is unveiled in Feb 2012, MWC. Will I be able to buy it from March only? If yes, then I will wait for it... and not go for GS2 anymore. What do you guys say about it?
[Galaxy S II General] OrrPenn18:
It is the same schedule as for SGS2, depends on which phone you own right now and your likes? Like u like to flash/root and stuff? Or just play games and all?
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
yes Harsha..Do one thing post it in BBS thread.Hey do u keep some streaming app always on?Online Music/Radio ??

@Bala: That guy is funny.
[Galaxy S II General] rajarshi10:
Wanna do everything with a phone. Flash, root & also play light games. I just wanna know when I can buy the GS3.. so that I wont hurry for a purchase of a GS2 knowing I would lose out on a better device :P
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
Wait for SGS III in that case. Atleast You will have ICS on board + HD Display.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Thank you guys. I will post it in BBS thread. Hope the dev will help me.

Actaully I guess you people are right. If I disable data connections, then I will be having a better battery life. I will be keeping my data connections on all the time with 3G only mode. And tapatalk will be checking the interent for subscribed threads like every 30 minutes and in the below pic you can see the other apps which is accessing the internet as of today.

I guess i need to stop data connection for a day and see how the battery comes by..

@Chetan, my thank you's for the day got over :p Thank you!

hey what's the name of this app in the screenshot ?

---------- Post added at 04:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:41 PM ----------

never mind .... seems found a better free app.. "Traffic Monitor"

However, the pro version of 3G Watchdog is much better ....
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
That is

I recommend you to use My Data Manager Free v 1.1.25.

Visit the links from your android phone.

My Data Manager Free v 1.1.25 ( http://market.android.com/search?q=pname:com.mobidia.android.mdm )

I will also try Traffic Monitor then, as you say its better :)

[Galaxy S II General] goldbergx:
Brut Maps doesn't eat any extra battery. Been using it since about 5.6 and it works great every time. All the code does it remove the location constraints.

Of course it could be that the navigation feature drains more battery while navigating but it is a must have feature while driving for sure and a car charger solves all battery hogging problems.

@Digifort: KL1 modem gave me a number of problems too, biggest one being I lost my IMEI every time I connected it to my car charger! Would suggest KI4.
[Galaxy S II General] hawkeye7:
Help me Friends.

I was in delhi today karol bagh area when someone stole my galaxy s2. i didnt realise when it was stolen. only when i wanted to see it i realised and god the whole sky fell upon me :( . pls tell me if i can do anything to get it back? it was my heart :( no software that can give tracking was installed. now the phone says switch off. Is there any thing like i can track my phone via gps or thro my gmail account anything? i ll lodge FIR but i know its useless. the person must hav destroyed the sim. Is there anything that can be done or should i just forget the sweet memoeries of my s2? :( pls guide me.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
@hawkeye7

That's so sad. Complaint to police along with your imei number., also inform to your network provider with your imei. Please start a thread in general section you will get many ideas.

Have you insured your mobile?
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
@hawkeye7

Had you linked the GS2 with Samsung account? You could try logging into Samsung dive in your computer and see if you can find anything.
[Galaxy S II General] rajarshi10:
Why not? Its THE flagship phone in upgrading!
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
If want a up-to-date software mobile than your wish...
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Two answers,

1- I am sure you're exhausted, so I'll say keep contact with Police, if you've Samsung Dive Enabled then you might have a chance.

IMEI tracking is possible anyway, however you oughta have some good connection with Police.

2- The practical answer, get ready and gather money to buy a new one.

This is India, just keep that in mind.

Swyping from my GT-I9100 via Tt
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
It might be the flasgship phone of Android. But for Samsung flagship is still Galaxy S2. And Galaxy S2 is much better than Galaxy Nexus. The only upper hand Nexus has that it will sure get the Android 5.0 upgrade in the future. Where as we S2 user can only speculate as to what will happen. If you want to try the best of now its the GS2 :)
[Galaxy S II General] mrcreativity:
Guys...i hope my question isnt stupid but here goes.

I just flashed Ginger mod and i know jaky themes are integrated. could someone please tell me how to configure the jkay mod?
[Galaxy S II General] rajarshi10:
I was thinking of waiting for the GALAXY S3 cause the S2 is one year old now almost. So its 'BEST' status is just for a few more months. What do you think ?
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
with your primary account, log in to Google market and download the application "plan b". It will send updates every.min to your Gmail account.

ZergRush exploit

Anyone got DoomLord's ZergRush exploit script working on the KL1? Tried to root KL1 with it. Didn't work :(

---------- Post added at 08:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:34 PM ----------

www.samsungdive.com is your hope. 90% chance u can track your phone upto 20 metre accuracy without GPS enabled. But yea, this is India bro...so nothing can be actually said :(

Or u can use Lookout Plan B from market.

Hope this helps you man.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
CF-Root did not work?
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
@ Debadatta

Why do you want to root? root means void the warranty. If u still want root your phone, then go with any 2.3.6 europian firmware which has root available. Don't forget this KL1 firmware is also based on Europe firmware with some regional changes.
[Galaxy S II General] Debadatta:
I previously had rooted my phone and reset the counter with a USB Jig.

Rooting has its own advantages man :D

And I know, Samsung technicias had toldme this is European firmware with minimal changes. And also that ICS will be available in India in Jan. :D

Anyways, you sure the ZergRush exploit works on the KL1 open europe edition?

---------- Post added at 08:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:58 PM ----------

It requires you to flash an insecure kernel. I don't want to flash anymore right now. My Jig is malfunctioning. :(
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
@ Debadatta

Ohh really!!! I didn't know that:D

and I never tried zergRush:D
[Galaxy S II General] Debadatta:
No one knows that! I guess I spoke to a technician from Samsung who's absolutely zara hatke :p

Told me everything I needed to know about Samsung ROMs :D
[Galaxy S II General] coolbuddyin:
PLAN B app only works if the phone is on and data mode is on.

If the thief changed the sim and its without any data plan,it cant do it.

Samsungdive if installed,can help thats only if datamode is on ,if he is thief is too smart thats end of story ,once police can help
[Galaxy S II General] Debadatta:
Samsung Dive location sensors doesn't need data to be on I guess. And they are worth trying than to just sit and mourn. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] mrcreativity:
So if i want to get back to stock from a custom ROM, i just flash the file stock file though odin?

If data is available then its switching on GPS automatically to locate

if data is not avaiable my phone is not tracked since 5 min
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
see, you can't really get S3 into the picture. it is a whole new dimension. you can't compare an S-Class Mercedes-Benz with an E-Class right? S3 is rumored to have a quad-core processor with double the RAM.

but one thing you need to be certain is, if you want a damn good phone or a good phone with sure updates? looking at samsung's history with the S2 specially in India, updates are a luxury in spite of spending 30% of the value of a new TATA Nano or a 1 month installment for a C-Class Mercedes-Benz
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
That's tough to say whether to buy GS2 now or wait for GS3. If you thinking about GS3, you well need to wot at least till February for official announcement in MWC.

Oh thank you for the response, I thought its not working :p I will be tyring it tonight then.
[Galaxy S II General] rajarshi10:
Good one bro :D.... I guess Galaxy Nexus would be perfect for me. I love updates & mostly use the phone to listen to music & browse the internet. Not much interested in the camera front. So... GALAXY NEXUS it seems. Anyone else wanna give their suggestions?
[Galaxy S II General] Hrithan2020:
I implore you. Don't buy now, if you are willing to wait till SGS3 comes to India.

@all,

can someone please atyach download ui apk which should be in \system\app
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
if you like my post or think i helped you, don't forget to click "THANKS" :D:D
[Galaxy S II General] coolbuddyin:
Best phone as of now is galaxy s2 as there no existance of s3

ONE BEST SUGGESTION : IF YOU can WAIT till the release of s3, you will have definitely able to choose among a new class of smart phone lineup for next year release.Many will be showcased in that mobile conference in Feb. You can sure get an idea of how many more FlAGSHIP top end phones will hit the market . MAy be some other company bring a phone that can beat SG3 .!!! (just speculation) . I'm sure these all phones will be a higher class than s2 or nexus

IN SIMPLE WORDS IF You wait ,wait till APR 2012 -may 2012 (as even though mob ile is pre launched on feb,they will be avaiable to public 2month or more later only) and take a call -

if you cant wait take GALAXY S2,

If you want to taste firsthand experience of google android next releases like 5.0 or 6.0 blindly take GALAXY NEXUS

if not for camera, BLIND CHOICE IS GALAXY NEXUS
[Galaxy S II General] mrcreativity:
The S3 hasnt even been anounced yet...just get the S2 now, and you can get the S4 in 2 yrs.

Guys, someone please answer my questions please.
[Galaxy S II General] coolbuddyin:
Any one has idea ,if any enduser can remotely wipe the whole os of the android phone so that its atleast becomes useless for a stolen person, that firmware has to be pushed through adb

can we do that, atleast we can get some satisfaction as only few people will know how to do reinstall wiped os.\

can enduser do this?
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Here. What for? You not gonna hack my phone, are you? :p
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
As far my understanding goes you are right about flashing stock ROM via Odin to remove custom ROM.

You want to delete the while /system folder? Dude! its like deleting the /windows folder in MS - Windows! Suicide lol! :D

OT: Don 2.is good guys? 3D version?
[Galaxy S II General] rajarshi10:
FINE! Thanks a lot! So its GALAXY NEXUS for me... end of Jan. Any idea about its pricing? :)
[Galaxy S II General] Hrithan2020:

Thanks a ton! No more FC's in browser when downloading files .
[Galaxy S II General] spoiltz:
Around 30k!!!
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Oh I see. That's nice that you came up with the idea by yourself! What actually you did for the browser to FC during download? Let the others know so its documented here ;)
[Galaxy S II General] mrcreativity:
I know...but i was just thinking if it was better to flash a stock rom directly after a custom rom or first format /system and then stock rom.

Anyone have any suggestions?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
flashing a stock rom through odin will format your mobile anyway

Is there something, which i can do to get better backup.

Hi, mate

I just wanted to ask u, that which kernel should i use to get a better battery life on CheckROM HD v4.

For now, i am on siyah 2.6.2, and is getting a horrible battery life.

Which one is better Darkknight 2.5.2 or Speedmod or I should remain siyah??

Can u suggest something?

[Galaxy S II General] anshmiester78900:
Hey guys should we make a group on what's app
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
if you feel your battery life is low try flashing the battery.zip profile from gokhan's website. 2.6.2 felt smooth for me , so im using it with default profile. YOu always have the choice to revert back to the kernel which was best to you.

Also note after flashing a kernel it needs 1 or 2 full battery cycle to start giving good backup.

---------- Post added at 12:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:16 AM ----------

Rare Model of NOKIA Smartphone (6681) for IMMEDIATE SALE!

Hello all,

I have a spare Nokia Smartphone for immediate sale. It is a brilliant and rare model of Nokia (6681). Features: Web browsing, Camera with flash, Video recording, VOICE Dialling, Silver Metallic (See Picture). Had bought it for 20,000/- ...... but now selling it for only 5500/- New battery, excellent condition. It is great as an emergency alternate phone or you can give it to your staff like driver etc.

Mumbai buyer preferred, but can ship anywhere in India. Pls INBOX (private message) me if you are interested.
[Galaxy S II General] Style Icon:
I like the look of your phone better than that of Karan's mod. I would prefer yours or will cook my own files in the uot kitchen. It is dangerous to install somebody else's cooked up files. And Raviteja, you need to be rooted for modifying the look of your phone using the uot kitchen.

[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Just got galaxy s2 a day back and its really amazing to use,so slim to handle... wow.......
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
There is no overheating issues with the device.

Just some things gotta keep in mind, especially in summer,

1- Don't play games while the phone is charging.

2- Don't put a back cover which is totally covered.

3- Just have an app installed which would tell you about the current battery temp. If needed put a threshold at 65°C.

Regards.

[Galaxy S II General] euclid1:
I do not play games while charging but hv put a molife backcover ..i hv seen this heating without the cover also.this heating not only occurs during playing hd games but also sometimes during browsing but not always.i saw this problem occuring in other s2s also while going thru similar threads on other forums.thats why am a bit alarmed by it.
[Galaxy S II General] karan999:
Offcourse the app is not free.

That is why i have not included in the attatchment and given a download link for the same.

It all depends on personal choice.

i have bought the apps and i am happy with the customizations i have done.

So my thread is not misleading in anyway. :)

read the instructions first.

Hi

Recently my bro bought Galaxy S2(july import) , but his phone is so differrent the one i bought at Launch (May import)..even in low brightness his black level is so dark compared to mine on the screen..im so confused to see which one is faulty.

when i take screenshots from phone n look on the computer both look same but on phone its diff. and even the menu,settings everything looks so dark and in mine it looks somewhat brownish
[Galaxy S II General] goldbergx:
Have you tried the yellow tint test?

http://fiddle.jshell.net/qFxsC/1/show/

Put your screen brightness to 0-10% and see if you see the same colour over the entire screen, the yellow tint was usually seen on the lower left side of the screen I believe.

More info on this on this earlier thread...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1079444

Of course, if it is not this issue, put a picture of both you and your brother's screens side by side at 0 brightness and also ensure that your screen settings under Settings-----> Display------> Screen Mode are the same.
[Galaxy S II General] vickysud:
Its not about the yellow tint issue and it still exist even in new galaxy S2, the problem is when i compare both the phones my brother phone has much more dark black color to it than mine..when i c da notification bar its comp black below the screen keys whn compared to mine..n both the display settings r same.
[Galaxy S II General] eswar6280:
If you would like to play games or internet hardly do it in air conditioned room ...on gps place your device near the ac vent of the car ...on both cases don't allow the device to get moisture ...else give some time interval for the device to cool down if you feel your device is getting hot ..don't allow the device to overheat because it will drain your battery badly ..hope all these uncertainty will be rectified in the upcoming updates ...because sgs too face many issues later all things are sorted out by firmware update ..

yes it seems the links are dead. i only have the default.zip. so there are other option, rollback to previous version. did you complete2 full battery cycleS?
