How did you all people manage to break the display? Drooped it? And why are they charging? Display isn't covered under warranty?

Downloaded and yet to try.

How could the coating get disappeared even when its covered with screen guard really?
[Galaxy S II General] naturist:
Well call rates are dependent on which network you calls the most, if your calling is on Vodafone nos thn its dirt cheap, else I feel its costly. I moved from Airtel to Vodafone coz most of my friends did the same. I always get H+ signals and the least speed I get is 4-5mbps where its only 2 bars. Its still far-far better thn Airtel (for me atleast)
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
for me VF charges paisa per sec.....Using airtel sim again because of the 2G trick which is not working any more so thinking to use VF again but mobile will say refreshing sim data daily (3-6 times per day)...I think I need to change sim LAZY to go and get a new sim from VF store :p
[Galaxy S II General] Gowind:
1. Screen is under warranty as i got mine replaced when i found the coating missing.

2. The coating issue might have been there right from the beginning. The customer service exec told me that I'm not the first one to get it replaced due to coating issue.

Vodafone 3G offer expiring this month...what next?

Hi Guys,

All Vodafone users were using the Vodafone 3G Offer since August 2011 might be already aware that its gonna expiring this month end.

I have got so used to it (High Speeds) so much that .....i will be missing it!

Guys i called the CC for Vodafone and asked for other unlimited plan offers for 3G but those are too costly.......any one aware about plans or can confirm it?

I also got info that corporate VLU99 plan also has been discontinued.....not sure if its true please let me know if you all guys have any updates!

GALAXY SII

Great phone with average build quality, cheap plastic panels and uni body.

Now people telling about screen issue.

Look to other phones at this budget, rock solid with build quality specially Taiwanis.

Samsung surly done some mistakes with SII.

Great news here again. Got my phone today at around 4 pm and it was all okay until I found the Camera is taking some bs photos. Them I checked the lens and it was that much scratched that you won't even able to see the lens inside, full of thumbprints too! The pictures came were clay coated, hazy, full of smudges. Went to service centre again, which is 9.5 km from my office, and they said they have to change the backplate. Which they will do on Monday.

I really wonder how and from where does Samsung recruit these brainless POS rubbish ****ers?

BTW- I wanna check that my chipset is all okay, is there a way to see that? I mean the chipsets, not the hardware specs.

TIA.

samsung will never improve with these ****ing idiots!!! brainless dicks! dont we have our jobs to look forward? problem after problem.

did you tried zdevices test to test the induvidual components, also use stress test from the market to test the chipset stability

[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
I said BSNL to upgrade my plan to 1 MB/s and they said 1350 for 20 GB 1MB/s then 512 KB/s

and 2150 100GB 1 MB/s

I was like WTF

To one of my bro airtel called and said that he will have 1 MB/s for 999 because he is a good customer

that doubled his speed
[Galaxy S II General] ImSherlocked:
Mind you, reliance customer care is ****. They make bsnl look like angels. They took 2 months to shift my connection to an adjacent building!

[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Reliance speed does look good at the given price, but yes I will have to agree with adaneam that their CC sucks, I almost pissed at their face for the nonsense behavior they showed.

@bala- Thanks for z-Device test, well at least they kept the hardware intact, but I couldn't find an option to see GPU info, how could I see that?

[Galaxy S II General] saanil:
Samsung Galaxy S2 prices as of today:

1. Samsung Mobile Cafe at Andheri – Rs 32,150.

2. Croma at Juhu – Rs 32,149.

3. Alpha at Parle – Rs 29,750.

4. Flipkart – Rs 30,900

For now Alpha is offering S2 at the lowest prices. Another strange thing about Alpha – The above price is if you pay in cash. If you pay by card there will be an additional cost of 1.5% increasing the cost to Rs 30,200 (Is something fishy here?). Alpha is giving the phone with bill too. I need to ask one thing about buying from Alpha – Will it have warranty issues if an issue crops up? Suppose I have an issue and go to a Samsung store to rectify it, I should not face any problems with that right?
[Galaxy S II General] sam142000:
OMG!! Its still so expensive??

I bought it in July last year for 29.5K cash!!
[Galaxy S II General] Raven'sSight:
OMG :eek: what prices still. Cant remember when that kind of price stayed this long for a phone..Got it for 28.5k with free 1.2k case and MHL adapter..

Good choice i had made then :p:D
[Galaxy S II General] kalpeshaparmar:
Rate have increased due to dollar fluctuations in last 1 month....

And Alfa is reliable but confirm with them if they are giving bill with VAT number which is compulsory for warranty....
[Galaxy S II General] Ankit Tulsian:
I pay nearly 730 including all taxes for 2 mbps with 30 gb and there after 256 kbps(Airtel).They upgraded my plan from 512 to 1 and then to 2 for free and at same cost.I suggest all hyderabadi to shift to airtel.
[Galaxy S II General] SAlmighty:
If its that expensive, I bet you most of the hardware issues that were present in older/earlier builds have been addressed in the recent build. Conspiracies believe this can explain the drastic fluctuations in prices on the GS2, lol. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
@ ithehappy

I'm using android system info to view gpu features and nenamark to test it. Give it a go

@ ALMIGHTY

Just came to know this: In Samsung Galaxy S2 there are two identical models with some differences:

I9100 vs I9100G:

Chipset: Exynos vs TI OMAP 4430

GPU: Mali-400MP vs PowerVR SGX540

I never knew there were two versions of S2 that were selling. I am assuming that whatever S2 models are available they might be the I9100G version.

I rooted my phone with Cf-Root and then Flashed the Speedmod 18 which comes with an older version of CWM recovery. I then flashed CWM app 2.0 to avoid the error msg that comes when u have an older version of CWM recovery.

I flashed Speedmod 19 today, and the same error showed up. My usb storage got corrupted when i booted into recovery using the app.

I formatted the usb storage via CWM recovery and it seems to be working again.

Another thing i noticed is that the phone charges while connected to a computer when in recovery mode.

Battery issue

Hi Guys .........

I know many of you might have faced the same problem and you might know how to fix it up ..... I dont know why the battery of my galaxy S2 is behaving weirdly from past 5-6 days.... the battery meter suddenly sheds 6-7% .....I checked Battery Usage and Android System and Android OS is consuming maximum juice...

Even if it charge it to 100% the moment I unplug the charger the battery goes on 98% ( i.e immediately )

I have cleared battery stats ...

Restarted the phone ( as told on various forums)... but that too didnt work......

Even during the night when handset is locked it losses 15-20% battery......

OT:

I've opened the back panel of mine to see how stuffs are inside, especially the camera module. And it was so easy to open, even this is the very first time I opened a mobile phone. Also seen the difference between NFC chip and ours, you can just add the NFC hardware. You can even change the black panels to white, so easy, if you are patient. All you need is correct tools, and maybe an YouTube video.

Tomorrow if service center guys nag on something I am gonna take and apply the backplate by myself. I really do wonder how on earth it is possible to scratch the camera lens cover when you hardly will need to push a finger inside it to make it hazy and full of thumb prints, unless he/she wanna do it deliberately. No way on earth anyone could do it accidentally. Shame on them :(
