Guys I think I've asked this question before but didn't get an answer, so asking again, Indian users who are running the phone on XWKE8, do you guys have an option to Enable or Disable Noise Cancellation feature in a call by pressing the Menu button?

Regards.

Letsbuy and Aramex sucks!!!!

Hi everybody

I booked a SG2 at letsbuy on 9/6/2011 and it was delivered on the same day to Aramex for shipping.

Aramex shipped my SG2 to each and every major city in South India and finally it reached Chennai Yesterday[14/6/2011].

Then came the surprise!!!.Aramex has handed over the parcel to another courier[Reason:They do not have an office in my city having a population of Half a million]and when i enquired aramex office they did not seem to know the whereabouts of my SG2.

I contacted Letsbuy and Aramex since yesterday without any result.

I have ordered a 16 GB SDHC card for my forthcoming SG2 from Flipcart on 13/0/2011 and it was delivered today[15/6/2011].

Really fedup with Letsbuy becoz of Aramex.My next purchase will never be with Letsbuy.

That is WEIRD because I am using Musicbeta on Laptop (Listening songs right now with it only).

EDIT: Just now sent invite to my alt account and it said only US looks like google came to know about the invites which was allowing any country people to join so they changed it.....I am lucky it is working for me :)
[Galaxy S II General] goldbergx:
Samsung keeps releasing firmware - the worst part is that you do not get any changelogs, you don't know what has been added/removed. You only hope that things are better. There have been official firmware that has been bad (KH3 if I remember correctly was one) and not recommended even for the people of the country it was intended for.

So what would you do if, touchwood, the Indian firmware (whenever released) was not upto the mark? You can complain or demand fixes, but you would still have a substandard ROM on your system. You still won't shift to other firmware?

Android at its core is about experimentation, and customizability is the reason we (or at least I) chose it over iOS/Windows/Symbian lol/Bada/whatever. And in my opinion, the Galaxy S2 is worse off than the iPhone 4 (let alone 4S) out of the box - it is only the things that you can do with it that takes it to a whole another level. (Of course firmware is only a small part of the things that you can do with the phone)

I am currently on my 3rd ROM (LeoMar's 2.7.1 with Gingerbread 2.3.5) in the 4th month of having the phone (not very flashaholic I think :) ). Even when the ICS comes out, I won't be waiting the obligatory 3/4/10/40 months for Samsung to release a version to try it out, the amazing people at Cyanogen Mod would be my first stop, just because we can :)

---------- Post added at 12:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 PM ----------

Clearly, they aren't taking us seriously, they never have, maybe they never will. They have given you an unlocked bootloader for a reason. To quote Dumbledore, "Use it Well" :p
[Galaxy S II General] Style Icon:
ICS Components have been pulled out and leaked

The fact is that both Google Music v4.01 and Google+ v2.0 have been pulled out from Ice Cream Sandwich and I have both the apps installed on my phone. While Google Music v4.01 is working fine, the Google+ v2.0 is not connecting to the server yet. Maybe it is a temporary network problem. Will try again after some time.

And talking about flashing ROMs of other countries, it always makes more sense to wait for your own country specific ROM upgrade. The XDA forum is full of complaints from people who flashed a ROM different from their own country and then faced problems. So I will wait for an official Samsung Firmware update from Kies.
[Galaxy S II General] OrrPenn18:
Anyone has tried MIUI?

Both gangsterjoop's and Galnet's...

Could you tell me the bugs? Apart from TV out, FM, A2DP ...
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Well when KI8 got released a lot of users started saying this ROM is fast as hell and blah blah...now I was reading the KI8 NEE thread and the comments are,

Now look at these, completely contradictory,

And the most lol-able comment I've found,

Well there are plenty other comments which favors the KI8 and just in the next post it it non favors it. So what am I trying to say here,

It's just like a lottery, KI8? KI3? KH1? or should I stick with KF3? Well I can guarantee that KF3 is the most stable most ROM out there, I couldn't find a single thread where someone asked/said that I am having problem with KF3.

Sammy doesn't release an Universal firmware. There are different ones for different continents, and there is a meaning/reason for that. So no way you can just flash a different region firmware with your CSC and have a good time. You will ultimately have to come back to the firmware dedicated for your region.

So, at the end, I will wait for a firmware released for India, till then I will wait, even if that takes another month. They have to release one, sooner or later. Till then keep pressurising them by tweeting or emailing.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
I will NOT argue on that, frankly I thought twice before posting the same, just was not sure as it was my observation too. I hope whatever we are gonna get ends up with a '3'. lol.
[Galaxy S II General] bluesean:
Guys,

It does not take much to get a back door entry to custom roms or leaked roms.... Believe me nothing comes for free...

When you flash un official ROM.... Just mind it ...

You need to know how to use it...

[Galaxy S II General] goldbergx:
Find a few trustworthy people (proper Devs) and stick to them for ROMs/Kernels etc. Isn't tough to figure out who knows what they are talking about and people who are posting just for the heck of it.

And you can't really guarantee something is the best until you have tried out everything :p

And just fyi, here is some stuff I managed to dig up on KF3 - pretty easy to find people for whom stuff doesn't work I guess (this was just one search, won't do more as quoting random people seems pointless)

OFF TOPIC:

OFF TOPIC: I have asked this question Few weeks ago but still asking again by seeing new people coming daily.I have Sony Vaio VPCCW13EG Laptop and Tata Photon.I want to share net through wifi to my mobile from Laptop.how? I have tried mHotspot and Connectify both didn't work...I am thinking if I buy a Wifi Router and Ethernet cable and share net through Ethernet cable to wifi Router than will it work? or is there any other way?......I don't want to buy Tata Photon Wifi Router because it is too Costly.
[Galaxy S II General] OrrPenn18:
You gotta use an ad-hoc connection...lets you use your net through wifi on s2...i guess there was one thread about ad-hoc supplicants in general sec :)

The difference is not only UI but driver part is major thing. Samsung or any other company Integrates their drivers in the phone to rune the software. Cm 9 team too builds drivers from sources.

to get a bit off topic its not the problem of the employees working there, its the problem of the top management there and the way they promote/recruit the employees. people who dont even have a basic idea of snr & attenuation values are attending a broadband compliant .
