Just make sure the product came properly sealed, with the bill.

And if you are not an expert of applying those stuffs then please go to a store and ask someone to apply it. You know if it is not well placed then there will be bubbles all over the place.

When mine came I tried to apply it by myself, didn't get the work done properly, there were bubbles all over the place, removed it, reapplied, again bubble, reapplied, bubble again.....and the process went on and on.....at the end I could see my finger prints on it and put it on trash :P

The next thing I did is to reorder it :D

So you know what I meant.....

Hm..you need a case with a Stand....well, Case Mate Pop then.

I am using Tough, all I can say, it can't be better, and Case Mate is awesome.

See some video of Pop before buying.

Okay how many ppl here use an antivirus app for their phone? Is it needed or does it just get in the way and make things sluggish?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Personally i have tried both norton mobile security and avg mobile security, its not making much of a difference , and also detected nothing. Evethough these people claim of low power consumption , i think it uses a lot. So i uninstalled both.

So a better solution would be to install an antivirus app ,finish scanning and uninstall it. Repeat the same whenever required.
[Galaxy S II General] rocky23:
+1 on that.....:)
[Galaxy S II General] digi_fort:
I used AVG there was this one app some wifi something it ....... prohibited me from installing telling me it had malware other than that it has not really come in use ........ everytime i intall a new app it scans it that's about it

So what you mean to say is there is no virus definitions update in this one ..... if no then how do these guys counter new malwares / viruses ..... if yes then every time you install you need to update your definition via 3G or wifi ..... it becomes a tedious process eh ? workaround ?
[Galaxy S II General] rajarshi10:
I am in Kolkata. I bought a Galaxy S2 phone from a shop named Sree(Deshapriya Park) who is a renowned mobile seller. I had a dead pixel issue with it at the lower left hand corner of the screen. So I went to the Samsung Service Center in Gariahat n asked them for replacement. They sealed it n I got the replacement from Sree after 3 days. Then.. I find out that the dead pixel issue is in this handset as well. So I went to the Service Center once again n they said this is a common problem in this stock n I have to live with it. I was so taken aback by this. Super AMOLED Plus? And this problem? Totally pathetic. I want a refund of my money or a working handset as soon as possible from Samsung or else I'll be going to the Consumer Court for action. Thirty thousand rupees is not a matter of joke n after a replacement I get a faulty handset again. Really very displeased by the service by Samsung.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
There will be virus defenition updates, but wont be that much big as windows. so spilling up a mb or 2 for updates will do.

As most of the malwares are based on windows platform(king of malwares:p), i dont think it will affect android unless their code is compatible with android. Also i havent heard any stories of malwares or virus affecting the integrity of android os so far. Hope it stays like that
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
I feel sorry for you. but Service Center Guys in India as Dumb ... Thats why they end up creating such stories... Its better, You go to Service Center Guy again and tell them I am going to Consumer Court on this. Better you Call thier Customer Care and see if something can be done. Send an email with threat to samsung customer care ... I am sure, You will get replacement. Samsung is not that bad. :) Trust me.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Thats poor! You have all the rights to claim a mobile from new batch. Just ask the mobile no of customer care authority and call him and explain the situation. Im sure these dumb service center guys are lazy enough to send it for replacement once more.

How about lookout? I thought this was working fine, but not sure if there are any viruses, I felt malware detection is good..

I just got one question about this case. If I buy the 2000maH battery later on, will this case fit properly with the minute increase in thinckeness? :) and how many days did it take for you to receive the packages? It says 1 day for real? Wish an Indian dealer would sell the case because this dealer charging 300 bucks extra for international delivery!
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Yeah, didnt heard of it, it seems to be extremely popular in market . Will try it today, one more service in the background to run :D

[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:

[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
oh that's a bummer :( any of you here using 2000mah battery guys? Worth buying it?

I liked that case a lot though :D
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Dude, if we configure our s2 with the right combo, it will surely give max backup, more than 2 days for sure.

2000mah battery is a good idea, but at the expense of the slimness? i dont think so.

If you travel often, and if you dont have any charger kits around, then this 200mah will good.
[Galaxy S II General] digi_fort:
2000maH comes with it's own back cover since it's changes the form factor of the phone i guess you'll have to buy a new case for that also i believe the back cover that comes with the battery is not as brittle as the one that we have now but tougher since a fall would endanger the battery

---------- Post added at 01:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 PM ----------

Bala is right spend time on custom ROMs and best combo rather than money on an extra large battery and yeah it kills the looks ....... :p

Hey Guys,

I'm from Andhra Pradesh. There is a Rs.7 message card in my state which cn be activated by dialing *333*7#. But every tyme I dial the code, I get "Connection problem or invalid MMi code" error. This seems to be a known problem on android. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Do you use the stock dialer?

Try the following things,

1.disable call blockers if you have any

2.Turn off mobile tracker if used.

You can also try the code from this app

Thank you both! Convinced me that I'm better off without a 2000mah battery :) I can invest that amount somewhere else. Anyhow I'm not a frequent traveller. Since I have rooted I'll be trying the custom ROMS in few days time :) I liked that case very much so don't wanna give it up for battery now :p

@Harsha Raj,

try AMZER Rubberized Black Snap On Crystal Hard Case if you want a budget case as it costs 350rs and it is a snap on i.e. has two parts, one put on top of the mobile and the other under it.i am using this after trying almost four cases and i feel it it meets your requirements..

@ harsha

Got my rubber pouch from a local retailer for rs 100 few months back. Its rock solid. You better search out in your local shops before going online, who knows you may get a better deal in your local shops.
[Galaxy S II General] atulalvenkar:
+1 to this. All applications on android are sandboxed i.e they cannot read each others data. Your antivirus s/w also is similarly sandboxed and doesn't have any more privileges then the malware hence cannot scan files like it can on windows.All these antiviruses do is match the apk name they get using android API to a database of known malware.

Also android doesn't have viruses in traditional sense, a virus is defined as a self replicating program that can infect other binaries. Again due to sandbox nature this is impossible on android. What can be a problem is malware and the best way to be safe is not to sideload apk's from unknown sources.Also make sure to check permissions of app shown when its being downloaded/installed and don't install if you find something suspicious. e.g a battery monitoring app having read sms/ read contact permission.

Newbie to custom ROMS, please guide.

Hi everyone,

I'm a newbie to custom ROMs. I want to try them but have a few doubts. I would be very grateful if someone finds some time to answer them:

1. How will I be able to upgrade to ICS once it is available? Is it possible to just update via Kies?

2. What advantage does a custom ROM provide me with.(apart from being able to use the latest firmware version)

3. Can these custom ROMs provide all the functionality provided by the stock ROM?

4. I know this would be a dumb question to ask, but what are some of the better ROMS(i'm not asking the best coz there's no best or worst, it depends on individual's perspective). I mean all i want is a better performance. But don't want to compromise on the aesthetics too. If you know what I mean. Please suggest the most popular/widely used ROM etc. It would help me a lot.

Thanks in advance for the help. I'm sure the wonderful members of XDA will definitely guide me.
[Galaxy S II General] atulalvenkar:
1. KIES can be used only to flash official ROM's released by Samsung for your country. ICS release by Samsung will be available through KIES, any custom ICS ROM

needs to be flashed manually.

2. Depends on the custom ROM, ROM such as CM7 is built from AOSP code and hence has stock android with soem extra settings and tweaks. Some remove lot of

extra stuff put by OEM and thus have better battery life.

3. Custom ROM's come in 2 flavours basically

(i) Built from source/AOSP - Such as CM7, these ROM's might not have full working hardware since Samsung doesn't open source some drivers e.g GPU.

(ii) Modded stock ROM's - These are stock roms released by samsung which some dev opens up and removes certain apps tweaks some settings etc.These roms

will usually have full working hardware.

4. You can try CheckROM revolution HD in stock modded category or ROM such as MIUI which is aesthetically pleasing but might skimp on some hardware e.g

HDMI support/HW video decoding etc.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
nice but how
[Galaxy S II General] spoiltz:
1.Yes, you can update to ICS, via KIES, once it is available.

2.Custom ROM's comes with tweaks, for high performance, and better battery.

3.Yes, there are many custom ROM's which have all the features of stock.

4.That depends upon, what type of ROM, you want in your phone.Every ROM has its features.Also, i am sure, am not the one who can answer this.

Surely sum1 help you here. Its a great thread.

:)
[Galaxy S II General] deathfrag:
Thanks a lot for the quick detailed reply. That removes a lot of doubts. Let me checkout CheckROM then. Waiting for others to respond with their opinion too.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
1- If Samsung India releases it then it will be available via Kies. Which is highly unlikely if you have past experience about their after sales support.

2- Not interested in any Custom ROM.

3- Depends on the ROM. I'd say yes, could be wrong though.

4- As I am not interested I can't tell u. Others will do. Have heard that Kitchen ROMs are very popular.
