Thanks for your response buddy.

5 screen protectors at Rs.299 is really a good deal. But my question is are they worth it? I mean how durable are they? I am not a type of guy who'd like to change the screen guard very often, so you know. Can that guard protect soft scratches which could caused by some pens or pencils?

And I looked at the Flipkart accessories as well as the Ebay case too, they are good, but this phone runs hot, so I don't want to completely block the back of the phone with a full back cover. So I am sticking with that case, I guess it'll do the job.

Anyway, I'll like some more suggestions about the screen guard too. Please share one which has the more durability than others as I will carry my phones in to pocket and there is chance of it to be contacted with Pen/Pencil. So it has to be a scratch proof one.

Thanks in advance and Regards.
[Galaxy S II General] wildbarts:
Cant comment on durability as I bought it very recently so am still trying it. IMO, all of these screenguards have more or less the same thickness and though there prices vary, they all are just OK in preventing scratches (unless they are like the SGP steinheil which I could not find in India)

I had also bought an anti glare screenguard from amzer. Quality wise it was amazing, it has a matte finish and had reasonable thickness and from the feel of it you will see that it will block scratches. But one big drawback for me was that it blocked the screen brightness a bit due to its anti glare property i guess. The screen will not be as vivid as a crystal clear screen protector. If you are OK with you can try it out (150 Rs). Cutout was perfect. Because of its matte finish, it is anti fingerprint also.

Maybe you are right about the heating issue and full back cover, but I personally did not find it to be a showstopper. I would rather have a sleek phone case like CaseMate one.

Cheers !!
[Galaxy S II General] sandeep10:
I agree and would very strongly recommend this one. It may be a bit expensive than the others, but it applies very cleanly - no soap/water mess - and seems very durable - I think it will last months. It is perfectly cut for the phone and seems anti-static - it does not attract dust on the screen.

There is no diminution in the screen's brightness or clarity/colour and more important the touch sensitivity. It does get a bit messy from the fingerprints since it does not have any coating, but is easily cleaned by a tissue or just wiping on the shirt.

I now do not care whether my fingers are greasy or bother about the pressure I am using.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Can I have a link of the product?

Ok. Nah, I don't wanna compromise on the Brightness for a screen guard The problem is, the good screen guards aren't available here in India.
[Galaxy S II General] sandeep10:
http://www.scratchgard.in/productdetail.aspx?cid=9&scid=0&bid=17&pid=782

Oh and yes, they are quite right about it being almost invisible too. Unless one looks closely at the top cut-out area, one cannot make out there is a screen guard on the phone.

Order it online (may take some time for Chroma to stock it).
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Thanks a lot. This one is Re-usable and Washable? WOW. Shall I order today or tomorrow? It's Sunday, so..
[Galaxy S II General] wildbarts:
On the go USB cable

Does anyone know where I can buy a

[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Is this one USB OTG?

[Galaxy S II General] wildbarts:
Ya it is, but its out of stock for quite some time now...
[Galaxy S II General] Raven'sSight:
I ordered mine last tuesday with COD and Letsbuy have as usual been lethargic.

They have shipped it using some express it couriers.

They say 3-5 days delivery and as per the couriers i can get this only on

Tuesday which is a whole 7 days...

If on;y i had similar offers from else where, i would have skipped Letsbuy.com

I had a bad xp before too with buying some Razer products from them !!!

I just now hope and pray that the phone comes in properly with no damages and all !!!!

Hope i don have to use Letsbuy again !!!

Use Go Launcher Ex ............. it has hide in the app drawer options ... sorting, auto gap fill up , font scanning etc are all there ....... plus custom widgets and lock screen themes are readily available .......... much better than ADW
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
from 4 months I am using Go Launcher Ex only just thought to try ADW

[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Using go launcher for a while, nice and smooth. How about adw launcher ? any new features??
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
I dont know what features were there before but I feel Go Launcher have A LOT more features
[Galaxy S II General] rinkmink:
@ravi teja .i want the download link for kies 2.1.0.11095.121
[Galaxy S II General] ImSherlocked:
I have been sending mails to Samsung India about firmware updates. Today, I received a call from Samsung support. They suggested me to visit Samsung service center and get the firmware updated to latest. :rolleyes: I told him I already have the latest firmware available for India. Still, he was insisting |I should visit service center once and get the firmware updated.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
LOL!! PAthetic customer care... Service center people will flash it to european based firmwares.
[Galaxy S II General] digi_fort:
The customer care ppl are dumbass and don't know squat outside the Q&A provided to them .......... i had a bad experience when i tried a HDMI cable (tested before on another LCD) on my new samsung LCD was'nt able to get it to work. They told me to connect PC/Laptop via VGA cable. I told them why would i need that since i already had a HDMI port in my laptop. Finally i reframed the requirement after half an hour of yelling to my TATA Sky HD also needs to connect (din have any) so the engineer came made some settings changes on the TV and voila ...... it started working. So it always gives me a heartburn when i have to speak to some customer care executive thus i rely on solving most of the technical issues my self. lol :D

@RaviTeja Yeah Go Launcher has may more functionality few i mentioned a while back ........ there's no harm in tryin something new ;) ........... just update us if you find something mind blowing
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
on than wait for some days and they will add it there than download from there
[Galaxy S II General] TheMegastar:
Yes, I too want the DIRECT DOWNLOAD link for this new version (latest as of today is 2.1.0.11095.121) Those of you who are able to UPDATE it via your current Kies should upload this new Kies Update for direct download. Many people like us are not able to update it via Kies as it keeps showing errors!

Use mediafire, bitshare, fileserve links please. Thanks in advance.

@RaviTeja : what you have posted is a link to the OLD version. Pls give a link to the NEW version 2.1.0.11095.121
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
In few hours only I got sick of ADW and jumped back to Go Launcher

---------- Post added at 12:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:52 PM ----------

I have the latest Kies (2.1.0.11095.121) I dont know how to give that files to you guys .....Wait for few days and Samsung will add it to site
[Galaxy S II General] TheMegastar:
Samsung is as confusing as ever!

Ok. Cool. I managed to update it via kies only. But now it is not recognizing the phone when connected! The pop up notice says, "Reconnect the device in Kies (PC Studio mode). Current connection mode not supported in Kies."

Now what the hell is a PC Studio Mode? I went back to the download link you gave earlier and there are three downloads available there.

1. the old version of kies 2.0 (windows/mac)

2. New PC Studio

3. PC Studio 3.1

Now how do we know which one we should use??? These Samsung people are downright morons! Do you have any idea which PC Studio software is to be used to connect our phone?
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
We need Kies only...Try to install Drivers again
[Galaxy S II General] TheMegastar:
Reinstalled drivers. Rebooted. Now it keeps saying "connecting" and tries to connect endlessly. I think Kies is the most buggy software ever! It is pretty useless for me anyway. Use it just to save my phone contacts. Now can't even do that with this new updated Kies! What a piece of crap!
[Galaxy S II General] Athavan:
try tools->troubleshoot connection error.

it usually solves my connectivity problem...

and what you said is 100% correct... kies is really a piece of crap...
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
No doubt in that..KIES IS KING OF PIECE OF CRAPS :p
[Galaxy S II General] TheMegastar:
Thanks, Athavan.....this troubleshooting from tools solved the problem. If I wasn't using Kies for saving my phone Contacts, I would dump it alltogether!

Odin/XDA is the best for upgrading fw. Just flashed XWKJ3 via Odin today. The operation is smooth, let's see if there is an improvement in battery life.

[Galaxy S II General] ronhoover88:
Why is that?
[Galaxy S II General] Aijazji:
New MB and new S2 come with 0fficial ics

if we downgrade it will dead

the reason of my s2 dead is only Downgrade of os
[Galaxy S II General] ronhoover88:
Oh so ics works better for ur device:)
[Galaxy S II General] ankurprime:
Yes, there was a price drop of 70% by all the major carriers. For 3G. To make it more 'affordable'.

For Airtel- Its rs.251 for 1gb/month ( currently in use by yours truly :-) )
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
OMFG

Their are some devices than can't be downgraded below factory firmware like PS3 but never heard that for a android downgrade

They gave you new s2?
[Galaxy S II General] ronhoover88:
The new MB could be a reason
[Galaxy S II General] Ankit Tulsian:
I cant beleive that if you downgrade OS it will be dead.This can be possible with apple products but android i never heard.
[Galaxy S II General] Aijazji:
yes but the touch flow and stabilty of GB is nt der in ICS..
[Galaxy S II General] ronhoover88:
@ravi refreshing every second i guess:p:D
[Galaxy S II General] Aijazji:

[Galaxy S II General] Aijazji:

[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
Possible

I think their is some programing done in motherboard and in that programing might have done in such way that lowest possible downgrade would be factory firmware i.e. 4.0.3

[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
Clear market data, turn phone in landscape mode, open market

Now see the area where we have status bar
[Galaxy S II General] ankurprime:
read your post. Quite entertaining!

So they do replace the display! i have that too, visible while browsing or watching videos in landscape mode. But not too noticeable in LCD test screen... Will try anyways to convince them.

So I've to flash Indian firmware LP7 now?
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Take some petrol/diesel and Take a spoon and apply it to screen (apply it 10 times)

take a match box and light it and keep on fire

if it got burned you got screen burn

if it didn't burn than your screen is good :D :p
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
I didn't heard screen burn issue in SG1 as it has also super Amoled screen.

so it might be the PLUS technology causing screen issue in S2..
[Galaxy S II General] anshmiester78900:
I dont get it everything is normal on the status bar :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] ronhoover88:
You are wrong, even sgs1 had issues
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
I mean the blurry text issue on sgs3 bala said

The pentile issue
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Looks like I have screen burn but warranty is over FU**
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
Then you are all good
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
you need to check where notification bar stays when it is not at landscape
[Galaxy S II General] anshmiester78900:

[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
Yes the pentile is issue with S3 but it is not noticeable with naked eye

Dail *#0*# and look closely at notification bar place and normal screen place..both color should look same..If you have a small difference also you have screen burn
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Lol you saying for my post? :p well we had only essay in English in college.

It's because of you I made up my mind of going to SC center and asking for a replacement. If not I would have been a lazy ass. Thanks a lot Bro! :)

And that's what sammy said too after releasing S3 that the S2 screen life is quite short. My cousin has a S1 let me check it out tomorrow how it is after 7 months of usage.

Well official Indian stock ROM will do. Just make sure the kies will recognise it :) I was on KL1 as I only had that downloaded previously.

Oh :( wish you could have seen it more clearer before the warranty got expired.

Man its so tough to type is small screen. Even with SwiftKey hehehe. It took such a long time to install TT application in this Walkman :p

at least 1 day before it would have been fine.........when you go on monday ask them how much it cost to replace the screen (right now problem is not much)

[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Thanks doc :D I could start writing a book then :D Make lost of money and buy S3..S4..S5 :p

@Ravi you suggested for few books to read. Actually I have read many in mobile. Then became member of JustBooks http://justbooksclc.com/ and from then have been reading wit real book.

I would suggest to read all Sidney Sheldon - they are epic!

Then in Agatha Christi i have read like - And then there were none, Murder on the Orient Express and The Murder of Roger Ackroyd

Then you can try all perry mason series its good.

Also if you like fantasy Inheritance Cycle is amazing - Eragon, Eldest, Brisnger and Inhertiance.

I have read twilight saga too :p

Also Kane and Able series is good. And if you got lots of time you can read Monte Cristo and also Lord of the rings series.

And you might be very interested in this book: Patience by Lisa Valdez - its an erotic novel. But man the story is amazing for such kind of book. Im sure you will be satisified :p PM if you need epub ;)

Lastly read the book called ROOM. The story will get back to you for a weeks.
[Galaxy S II General] anshmiester78900:
hmm i think i can see a very little bit of blue color on the top left corner of the screen only on white colour is that screen burn ?
