Negative. Swiftkey X is very good, it uses an advanced T9 dictionary and predict words. If you type a series of words frequently then it will flash the next word instantly, which makes typing faster, yes, but generally we don't use same series words frequently, then it won't predict next words that fast, in fact sometimes it gets boring.

Swype on the other hand is not like that. It will be same all time. Well, you do need to know the spelling least to use Swype properly.

I've tested both of them and in fact stopwatched a series of 200 words and tested it, Swype wins hands down. But, Swype ain't the best there, I've used T9-Trace in Wave/bada, and IMO, it was more simple to use and predicted words without a glitch, even if you Swype on wrong words it will input the correct word, the reason for that is it uses a much simpler dictionary, where Swype uses a more complicated one. Who writes non simple word generally? I don't.

So to sum it up,

T9-Trace » Swype »»» Swiftkey X.

Nope, its 3.4.6

Another inconvenience I find is that there is no shopping cart on the Android Market, And my bank blocks my card automatically on these low value transactions (Anti Fraud measure). Oh well, I guess I have to bug them everytime...... (Happened only with Wheres My Water though - But this same thing happened TONS of times during the 10 Cents promo)

Either allow a shopping cart, or, have a scheme like the App Store - Prepaid Gift Cards. Another alternative would be the Indian carriers speed up Carrier Billing - Vodafone Europe offers this already. Still, I got all I listed above (Except SoundHound and SwiftKey - Got them during the 10 Cents Promo)

PS - World of Goo is AWESOME. Playing with a touchscreen is actually more satisfying than the PC version. Now eagerly looking forward to this weeks remaining deals. :)

well, i don't usually make such errors. but... i guess it was just a bad day.

btw, do a screen test, dial *#0*# and select Black(Vibrate). turn off the light in the room make it pitch dark. bring the phone closer to your face and see if you see any back light on your screen.

please note, it is NOT visible from a distance. so bring it 30 Cm from your eye or even less.

[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
Samsung's reply is usual, no surprise.

AOKP

Android open Kang Project, a 16 year boy developed this but couldn't flash himself because his Mom didn't allow him unofficial flashing. Kang donated his Work to developers and the build AOKP started from there.

AOSP

Android open source project. Developers like Team Hacksung buid CM9 for GSII with the help of Googles ICS source code, they released for GNex.

Basically both builds are based on same sources..

AOSP is Android Open source Project,means that compiling a rom directly from google source code and is plain google rom

AOKP is ANDROID OPEN KANG PROJECT,a team in Gnex/Nexus S forum compiles the rom from google source code and adds their own tweaks and customization options...

For us bezke have ported it to our phone...
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
first off, in all these things i am a big N O O B. i don't know how to hyperlink and stuff. from my experience, all you need to do is, if you have an S2 running 2.3.X, just flash Siyah kernel and it auto backs up the EFS folder. then, all you need to do is save the file.

This is a much easier method without flashing any kernel and works on ics

Delete unwanted Ringtone files, Also In music app create new play list and add your desired folder in to it.

Anyone knows what safe mode in i9100 is and why does it occur?
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
It never happened with my phone. To be safe take a efs backup and store it at safe place like laptop or computer. I read somewhere after safe mode kernel panick occurred to some people.

I thin stress could be the reason for it. Like heavy gaming, wifi or kernel conflict. Keep close eye if it happens again.

[Galaxy S II General] ano.cresent:
By the way were you able to get out of the SAFE mode .... If NO then you can do it by booting the phone while holding the Volume Up button.

SAFE MODE in android is essentially similar to safe mode in windows. Say any app is giving you pain(read force close) while starting, you can boot into SAFE MODE and then uninstall it.

@ano.crescent & iekansh

Regarding safe mode-

How to get:

Accidental or Intentional - when our S2 boots and flashes 'S' logo, press menu button for some time and u will get in to safe mode.

How to get out: Press power button for 10 seconds and phone will reboot normally.

If not remove battery and wait for 1 minute and restart.

Uses: ano.crescent is correct.It is like windows safe mode.It is to be used mainly when we have stubborn force close looping of some rogue apps.So in safe mode simply remove that app.

@nizuak

Remove yahoo mail.it is causing wakelocks.

If u have facebook app or whatsapp, they r also sometimes culprits.

If ur problem persists search for Betterbattery stat thread here in xda forum and follow their instructions.
